It’s a projection. No damage has been done. It just dominates your view for a few minutes.

Even if you disagree with it, it’s such a mild form of protest to take exception to. Just let people express themselves.

Pretty poor counter argument.

“Justice for the abused” Vs “Oooh! Pretty building”

Having heard enough tales from my sister, Nurses are particularly bad in this regard. I think it’s partly because seniority is so heavily related to how long they’ve been putting up with this shit. It’s not the best leaders that become senior. It’s the people with the most battle scars.

.net

Anything I run in C# or similar seems to allocate 512GB of virtual address space and then just populates what it actually uses.

Trump supporters report …

I expect they’re not self-reporting. That would require self-awareness.

It’s more my back than my knees

…or PCMCIA for short.

Indeed. A huge proportion of Gen X professionals were self taught children who learnt on home computers and then grew up.

CS degrees don’t teach you how to code. They teach you computer science.

I think it’s cheese-stringification.

It’s a few hundred lines of C across 7-8 files. It checks the password hash against a set of predefined ones and then calls a script if it matches.

It doesn’t need a lot of maintaining.

So I can never commit a test without also implementing the functionality?

That’s madness.

You’re both right. You’re both wrong.

• You write tests for functionality before you write the functionality.
• You code the functionality so the tests pass.
• Then, and only then, the test becomes a regression test and is enabled in your CI automation.
• If the test ever breaks again the merge is blocked.

If you only write tests after you’ve written the code then the test will test that the code does what the code does. Your brain is already polluted and you’re not capable of writing a good test.

Having tests that fail is fine, as long as they’re not part of your regression tests.

Just to add to that, a lot of the confusion comes from Microsoft and Apple wanting to lock applications to their platforms.

• Direct X was Microsoft’s competitor to OpenGL. Versions 3 to 11 were largely feature for feature comparable with the OpenGL version of the time.
• Direct X V12 and Vulkan compete in the same way.
• Metal is Apple’s Vulkan

Now you’re being silly.

What’s a good alternative to Jira?

Nope. If they were they’d actually be a choke point in the heat transfer. You’d be better having the heat sink directly on the CPU rather than connecting it via 6-8 thin rods of metal.

Heat pipes are an amazing bit of tech that only made in to computing In the early 2000s. Without them we couldn’t have laptops in the way we do and air cooling would only be for the very lowest power desktop systems.

I tried it a couple of times and stopped both times because it puts it own password dialogue box up for my password. I assume it wants to sudo for some reason.

No! I will not give you my plaintext password.

1. No other piece of screen sharing software needs this.
2. You’ve not told me what you need it for.
3. Even if valid, no user level software should have my plaintext password. Make a request to the system, it will prompt me.
4. You now expect me to trust the software developers that make such brain-dead security choices with sharing my desktop? Not going to happen.

Uninstalled as fast as I possibly could.

If the heat plate is damaged or any of those heat pipes are pinched / cracked, then you’re SOL. What a lot of people don’t realise is there’s liquid in those pipes that evaporates on the heat plate, condenses in the cooler, and then runs back to evaporate again.

Exactly. They’re not “accusing Putin”. They are saying to Trump " He is humiliating you! What are you going to do about it?"

I’ve tried this a few times. I don’t think it works.

Basically the way you want to explain a piece of reasoning , and the order in which things need to be defined for a program, are different. You end up either making the document match the code structures, or the code structure match the document. Both are bad.
