Yeah this is scary, especially given the number of people who visit.

However, this may be a case where things locked down (in a futile attempt to contain the thieves), as opposed to a fire. This still isn’t great, especially if it was someone who wanted to hurt people, but it’s probably why it happened.

Communication is Paramount

Yeah, so you shouldn’t use a well-established term like “heat death” in your own way just because you feel it’s appropriate. Words have meanings. That’s how we communicate.

If I call you a nincompoop to say you’re really smart, just because I think there’s no clear etymology for the term, so it isn’t “linguistically relevant through uniqueness” (whatever the fuck that means) to say it means you’re foolish, you probably wouldn’t understand that’s what I meant. You might even take it as an insult. So our communication would have broken down through my misuse of a word with a well-established meaning.

Read the article, the 900% increase is only for the most expensive rooms.

Plex screensaver isn’t far off. Though now you reminded me I have to get myself off Plex. Sigh.

I said i compress with AES-256

To avoid confusion you could say, “along with”, or fully say, “I encrypt with AES-256 as I compress, in one step”.

It’s not necessarily about what you know, but about what readers will understand. (For example, someone who doesn’t know better might read what you wrote and think there is some way to compress using AES-256 and go down a rabbit hole.)

Well, if they subscribed before, why wouldn’t they stay subscribed at the same price with the same features? Why is it a “narrow raft”?

Or someone compared strings.

Yes, that’s my joke. Using digits in a string list isn’t enough, you have to be smart with your sorting and sort the numbers before you make the string list for your drop down.

1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3, 30…

Teams wasn’t specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren’t working remotely.

I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.

“This immediately impacts Russia because Delhi is now on the phone with Putin in Moscow, and Narendra Modi asks him, ‘Hey, I support you, but could you explain to me the strategy because I have now been hit by 50 per cent tariffs by the United States’,” Mr Rutte said, in the interview published on Sept 25.

Sounds like he was talking about a hypothetical call to me.

Something something false prophets blah blah blah…

I feel attacked

import builtins

def HelloWorld(funcname):  
    getattr(builtins, funcname)("HelloWorld")

HelloWorld("print")

Edit, improved:

import inspect, builtins

def HelloWorld(funcname):
    caller = inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name
    getattr(builtins, funcname)(caller)

HelloWorld("print")

Yes, but we’re afraid of the consequences. I’m all in myself.

PS/2 isn’t vintage. I’m still using an adapter to connect my Microsoft Natural keyboard through USB.

Oh, wait…
