I mean, LOAF was a thing (Linux on a Floppy) that had basic functionality even as most distros were downloaded or on CD. I can’t imagine anyone still develops it, though.

The term of a US president in the early 1980s.

1 + false ? (I have no idea in which order JS would evaluate things as I rarely have to touch that language much anymore)

11 in my neck of Tokyo. The last few nights have dipped below freezing, however. This probably isn’t super weird for the time of year here, however. Going up to visit the inlaws for the end of the year, and it’s currently 0 up there. Last year, I think we hit -15 whilst we were there, but this year it looks like the low is going to be freezing (which is rather warm for northeastern Japan in December).

I play a mix of characters. If they’re voiced, I tend to prefer feminine voices. I think there are a number of reasons for this, but one practical one is that I just hear better in a higher range for whatever reason (and this gets more true the older I get). I have a much easier time hearing higher-pitched voices and generally find them more pleasant.

If they’re not voiced, it depends upon if I’m role-playing something specific. If so, I’ll pick whichever I think fits best. If not, I’ll probably pick a female character just because I find them more pleasing to look at. I always wanted to go back and do a female V playthough of Cyberpunk, but I just never got around to it.

Years ago, in the early 2000s, I got in to MMOs with Final Fantasy XI. I played mostly female characters there because people were more likely to help out.

Proof? There are other (some equally creepy) ways that it could get this info. Depending upon how the DVD player is connected, it could simply be getting info from that. It could also be taking occasional screenshots. There are other things as well.

Edit: poster below links to Roku and they use screenshots.

I signed up to an insurance company here in Japan with [email protected] and they later changed their rules and I couldn’t sign in at all. They told me to open a new account. I didn’t want to pay them once let alone twice. Never doing business with them again.

There was an old bug up through at least XP (maybe gone by SP3, but I don’t remember) where there would be certain SSIDs or network names that incremented because of how networking was implemented. I’m doubtful it’s the same thing, but you could try searching there for a start.

That’s a problem with no coding standards, peer review, etc.

write_good_code() or die(qw(enough rope to hang yourself));

or die unless write_good_code();

Ah, unclear on my part. I do use vscode on Mac, but still want a text editor to do other stuff.

“perl was probably useful once”?!

I’m willing to bet a TON of medical and banking data is still making its way through perl today. (I’m not necessarily saying this is a good thing, but I have years of experience in healthcare IT).

I don’t use JetBrains because it’s not free, I mainly use VSCode since it is and works fine, but I would use np++ after that. I spent years working in np++.

I played with linux in the early '90s, but mostly got started on GenToo Linux years ago and they had people installing Nano when building from the ground up. I grew to like that and never really learned VIM. I did use emacs every now and again, but all of those have lots of unwieldy key combinations that require memorization and don’t work like a lot of other programs people coming from, for instance, Windows would be at all familiar with. The barrier to entry was too high to bother with so it was wine and np++ since I was also still using Windows for work.

I’ve been forced to use a Mac for work for the last almost-year and still can’t find anything as good as np++. BBCode is as close as I can get and I’m still not really a fan.

I hope he gets referred to the police for his bullshit, sits in a cell, and then gets perma-banned from here.

Writing code is for chumps, and the more code you right, the more of a chump you are.

So you’re the one in there wronging up my code?

Write smaller units. Test those units. Save time.

I am technically, but I almost never turn on my second (vertical) monitor. Usually when I have my main set to a different source and I want something from my desktop PC on the other monitor.

I stopped using anything meta years ago. People who want to stay in touch with me and I them continued to stay in touch. If those people will not stay in touch with you, good riddance to them.

And you thought the USA was a bad place.

I can think that both are bad places to different degrees for different reasons. Particularly when some would like for the US to become more like that.
