I prefer “tit for tat”.

You can’t control hyperv via powershel, winrm, or wmi?

I’m a net admin so I don’t deal much on hypervisors but I’m a bit surprised.

Does it actually have shit automation support, or do you just not like the APIs?

We’ve been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.

Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).

It’s not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can’t make up the extra demand.

And also protecting businesses by making sure we can’t wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.

We have to pay…for the privilege…of lollygagging through our sprinklers.

I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don’t need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that’s real tough to do if you can’t water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don’t really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it’s comfortable to walk on barefoot.

Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

This is bad practice.

More accurately it should look something like this:

# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys

def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
    # Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
    print(outPhrase)
    return None

if __name__=="__main__":
    # Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
    sayHelloWorld()
    sys.exit(0)
else:
    # Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
    sys.exit(1)

Does DisplayPort also support audio?

Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.

Yeah I rented a Mustang Mach-E and drove between Houston, Austin, Dallas, and back to Houston, without very much charger anxiety. And not being confined to a slow charger…except on the way back to the airport. The first charger I found was a slow charger and all the fast ones were occupied. But still had plenty of charge to find the next station and get it high enough to return

Suburbs are intentionally designed to not be walkable.

To get to the neighbor behind my house, without cutting anybody’s yard, I have to walk about a mile. We aren’t far. His daughters play with my sons through our shared fence.

And that’s a modest example. Plenty of cul de sacs that are “close” to the main street, as a crow flies but a lot further if you’re an East Asian Chinchilla Monkey running as fast as you can.

Considering how “fuck you in particular” lightning can be…maybe.

Depends. Chihuahua or mini-pin, yeah, I agree. But a golden-doodle? That’s a tough call.

I remember getting sent to the principals office for “hacking” (pinging the computer in the next room) in like 8th grade.

Back in 4th/5th I actually was hacking, modifying our user menu to add Windows 3.1 and a password (copying config from a teacher’s profile). Also brute-forced at least two teachers passwords.

I’m a network architect now, so there’s that.

I’m waiting for the day that Gemini shittymorphs me.

Ceci n’est pas une tonalité

I don’t think any programmer would be dumb enough to take that bait.

They would be held personally liable for any business decision that costs the stockholders (while, of course, not being given anything extra when a business decision nets stockholders a fortune).

KMail.

Windows having tar.gz support is great.

I have scripts for generating log bundles on user computers and sending to a share. tar.gz is great for compressing ~2.5GB text to send over VPN, and then I can open the .tar.gz direct from the network drive with minimal additional delay opening a 500MB text file inside.

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Back up…dude with a 10th grade level understanding of biology and chemistry coming through with a question…

So carbon-based life forms can, under the right circumstances, decompose into long chains of hydrocarbons like Petroleum.

Does that mean silicon-based life forms under the right circumstances would break down into hydrosilicates like caulk?

You wouldn’t download a serial killer.

But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.
