Companies are definitely selling your data. Use a VPN.

Use rsync and only upload the files that have changed.

There’s a good chance that’s what our issue was. It really struggled with a Java monolith project. Compiling was slow, but Mercurial was painfully slow on NTFS while ext4 was blazing fast.

Been on Macs at work for a few years and don’t plan on going back, but wish I knew this back then!

I meant in Windows 🙂. I guess Windows XP, in particular.

Not me, I’m getting fatter.

Yes! Thanks, I had started to mention that and ended up with a huge run on sentence and it didn’t make it through the editing process. 😅.

BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it’s been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

It’s also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

The westernmost point is also in Alaska.

Just did that and Semisopochnoi Island still came out as the easternmost point.

It works now.

Oops, replied to wrong comment! I was talking about NTFS.

It is a meme.

Not sure if it’s gotten better in the last few years, but it’s also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.

So you’re saying the link is… dead?

It would be pretty useless if cd was a child process that changed its own directory, only to return to bash and be back where you started.

Ya, streams may seem tedious (why do I have to call stream and collect?), but it’s like that for performance (and probably backwards compatibility).

If writing readable code is not peformant, then the language implementation needs to be fixed.

Not sure if this will help you, but I always do shutdown and then think about whether I want to do -r or -h. I’m sure it won’t help 🙂

And sheepy.

You signed a contract? Pretty sure they’re going to fuck it up either way and they definitely have all your data.

If you want to give it a try, I highly recommend the book Crafting Interpreters. It’s also available online in HTML format.

Edit: RTFA and I see that’s what the author did as well!
