Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified) and the Union Jack as English

It’s a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)

They’re not going away, they’re just going to be more persistent with their cold calling, and more infuriating with their call answering.

When the voice assistant came out I remember one of my coworkers showing it off to another.

To which the other coworker just said “hey Google, text Mom saying ‘you’re fat’”.

Because of that I’ve never had any voice tools connected to anything I own.

Fox news will call them the calculus mafia in no time.

I like the look of the stencil/shape left behind by a removed logo.

Feels rebellious.

Well he also has people like managers, publicists and agents who will think this way.

I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.

He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.

$retVal and $item are my personal favourite.

And decent variable names if you can, as well.

No magic numbers!

Excellent work by someone there. I love the customer service agent with the ski mask (who can barely keep a straight face) lol

Infrastructure can be a real problem in some places.

I’m currently on a mountain and since they upgraded to a hybrid satellite/cable system the speeds have skyrocketed. Laying cable/towers is just not viable, especially with dense rock peaks blocking line of sight.

Also I have coworkers in Nigeria who lose internet multiple times a day (and often don’t have the bandwidth for a video call) but most of them have bitten the bullet and paid the high up-front cost to get starlink at home. And now can do HD video calls with zero interruption (unless they have power issues, but that’s a whole other thing).

So I think there’s a lot of use-cases for sattelite, especially for people who aren’t considered worth the investment in non-sattelite infrastructure.

It’s just unfortunate that yeah, space junk is going to one day (suddenly) be a massive problem.

Edit: ah I may have replied to the wrong comment

Minimal supervision also could mean there’s no onboarding, no support and internal communication is awful.

Screwed is always relative.

I’m hearing chat that immigrants from places like Turkey or India are going “oh yeah this is what it’s like back home”.

So it’s possible it just goes full neoliberal (i.e. no consequences or regulations for the rich) and the division of wealth grows even further.

Provided he doesn’t cause a war or some kind of other mass-death problem (chemical spills, reactor meltdown etc) it might just have a cost primarily in human suffering, as opposed to human life.

A whole new generation of the Kobo readers just came out too!

I’ve got one of the previous Gen and I was so happy to find they have models with the clicky buttons to turn the page.

Some people like to do it somewhere important, or that has a special relevance to their relationship.

So really it was there or the delta Business lounge bathrooms.

If it’s anything like Reagan, there’s probably going to be some revisionism.

These guys are defined by their lack of follow through.

It’s entirely possible they’ll get distracted by something else and leave this particular team alone.

Musk is getting sued for not paying out for the same thing at twitter.

There’s a solid chance they don’t get anything they were promised.

Careful! If you post the code someone is going to redeem it online. /s

The main thing stopping me is that I only use my PC for gaming, and I know the support for drivers etc isn’t as good on Linux (though I know this is debated).

However if Linux became more centralised, with a “gaming first” distro like this, the graphics drivers would have a “main test case” to work with.

This is my theory anyway.
