If you watch a rap video in reverse it's a bunch of guys taking money from a bunch of strippers in a club using psychic powers then leaving

Look Windows 1.0 to Me are properly called DOS/Windows because they relied on the work of DOS to provide the basic operating system routines, first compilers, toolchains, and driver infrastructure.

To call it just "Windows" doesn't do justice to DOS and its important contributions to Windows that can still be felt today in cmd.exe (NT based Windows should not be called DOS/Windows, however, it's of a different lineage and does not require DOS).

I worked as a laxative once

That job REALLY had me down in the dumps

I applied for a job as a Discordian pope but then I realised I was already a pope.

I worked for a spherical geometry place.

There was simply no parallel.

@InspiroBot Yeah I can get that for free from a lot of Mastodonians

AfD: it's All Fucked, Deutschland

The most evil shit Python libraries can possibly do:

* Make their exceptions inherit from BaseException
* Raise error strings in Python 2 code for literally no reason, or anything that doesn't inherit from Exception tbh
* Change environmental variables
* exit(0) without being told
* Not have a base exception class for library exceptions
* Do weird shit to the traceback
* Not follow PEP8 naming conventions
* Encourage from ... import *
* Have one giant namespace when it's like 50k LOC

"The arrival of humans on different continents coincides with megafaunal extinction. The most popular theory is that human overhunting of species added to existing stress conditions."

Humans: fucking shit up since 10,000 BC.

@UberActivist HackerNews is for assholes

How /is/ babby formed?

How /does/ girl get pragnent?

Why is it every journalist gets all fucking defensive about that stupid blue checkmark on Birdsite?

It doesn't benefit normal people in any way to be blunt. You should have better ways to prove it's you.

Your pet programming language will fall out of favour in 30 years.

That's just the way it works.

@TipsyTentacle ... then we wonder why aliens only visit us on the down low

@cwebber My official position is that the W3C has done the wrong thing. I worry deeply about the future of the open web, and the future of standards. The motivations of the W3C are unclear here, but appear to be financial. If financial considerations trump what is morally right, then the standard is not open to what is technologically best for all parties; rather, it is open to who has the deepest pockets.

I don't know what to tell Communists but making more generation capacity is labour-intensive and we still have technical hurdles to overcome for batteries to surpass the energy density of hydrocarbons.

Though, if we made a battery even 1/4 as energy dense as gasoline, the increased efficiency of the electric motor would make it equal in terms of practicality.

If we scaled this up to the entire US, and provided all our water from the ocean via desalination via evaporation (excluding recondensing energy costs, so this is an underestimate)

For the people alone, it would be 30.24PJ.

Our total generating capacity is about 91PJ give or take a few trillion joules.

Yeah.

This is why conservation is important, no matter what economic system you're using.
