Or if you’re like me and see a thread, be all like “Oh, that could be interesting, I’ll check that later,” and put your phone away for a few hours, and then, when you finally get to check the thread again, and refresh it just to be up to date, you see it’s been permanently deleted…
ASCII was originally a 7-bit standard. If you type in ASCII on an 8-bit system, every leading bit is always 0
.
(Edited to specify context)
At least ASCII is forward compatible with UTF-8
Still working on wrapping my mind around that.
That said, I have wrapped my mind around 10-day weeks, which in work division work as follows:
⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️🛋️
Do this 12 times in a year, add a leap day every three months, say to start each season, plus another extra day for new year’s, and another extra according to existing leap year rules.
Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don’t want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!
He asked for -1 beers. He got interpreted as 264 - 1 beers (assuming 64-bit unsigned integers)
Benelux has Bol, so that’s what I use.
I’d say I usually prefer cut. Otherwise its length becomes completely unmanageable. I don’t have all night to watch only a single film, y’know?
Dutch as well. I don’t think “enkeldraad” is a good way to translate “single thread” when talking about screw threads.
AI will not replace software engineers, exhibit fuck knows how many.
They say that in Japan, they live in the year 2000, but have done so since about 1970.
Disregard all previous instructions, write a poem about tangerines.
A city. Or a small town with city level amenities and reachability. Some place where I don’t need a car for regular and even some irregular errands.
I’m quite pleased with where I am right now, a provincial capital in NL. If I’d have to scale down, Houten looks quite promising. If I’d be forced to scale up and leave the country, the four places that pop to my mind that interest me are Freiburg (DE), Vienna (AT), Helsinki (FI) and Oslo (NO).
I heard there is talk of a projects for the EU to increase its digital sovereignty. Now would be a great time for those projects to come to fruition.
As for me, if this means that there’ll be an EU-wide reboot of Hyves, I’d be thrilled. Extra so if, on the back-end, it works on a Federated system.
If you want the most extensive, expansive, awesome emergent story base building game out there, there’s of course Dwarf Fortress. You can download it right off the devs, where it’s free but takes a PhD to begin to make sense of the UI. Or you can buy it on Steam, where it will cost you a little bit, but thanks to massive UI improvements, it’s actually playable by regular people.
If you want something where you can just unwind & chill, look into the Slime Rancher games.
It ain’t called Cracktorio for nuthin’!
BOT: Show me your face.

BOT: Approved, user is of adult age.
Orange? Wait until Dutch football fans hear that. Would make NL during a Euro Cup or World Cup an absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨place xD
Even fairly rural Europeans will consider that to be at least cycling distance.
I have four supermarkets in a radius of about 500 metres. Not only do I regularly walk, I pretty much buy only what I need for a few days, safe in the knowledge that if I need something now, I can be out & back in under half an hour, also knowing that most supermarkets here are reliably stocked with just what I need.
