While moderating, I accidentally marked this "redundant" but meant to choose "insightful." Wish there was a way to correct this.
Post a non-anon comment and the redundant mod will be reverted. You won't be able to choose insightful, but half the correction will be done.
Maybe it gets it confused with Yo Yo Ma jokes.
I hear he's like the cellist dude. Never gets angry when people call his mother fat.
it may be evidence of an innate perceptual bias that goes back way farther in our evolutionary history than previously believed. "We parted with birds on the evolutionary line 300 million years ago," says Aleksandra Cwiek, a linguist at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru, Poland, who was not involved in the study. "It's just mind-blowing."
What if bouba and kiki just sound similar to things in reality? bouba sounds like flowing water, which happens to have round curvy portions, including bubbles (named in English with a similar sound). kiki sounds close to crystalline structures breaking; glass, ice, etc. This results in sharp angles. Instinctively knowing that "bouba" type sounds might indicate water is useful to all life with ears. Knowing that "kiki" means "sharp" seems more useful for staying away from things though.
I'll record everything in 15-60 second clips and host it on TikTok. That or build it in Minecraft. Make them dig to locate the information!
"The service hung when Mojang updated a redstone bug that we were using to implement direct RAM interactions. Downgrading to Minecraft 1.21.10 solved the issue."
People who want to make stuff stay out of management. People who want to manage want to manage from the top. No-one wants to be a sad middle manager.
Are they really middle-men if the 600,000 below them are replaced with robots?
I too, call for a ban on time travel.
I propose a ban on time travel. Do I hear a second?
Except some configurations don't do version number and take the codename. So now I've got to remember 'noble'.
God point; I'd forgotten that their repo URLs are named by codename.
I have a piece of furniture named Samantha. It is easier to say something like, "it's on Samantha" than "it's on the brown thing next to the front door."
I have two pieces of luggage named Big Green and Little Green. It's easier to say something like, "Hey kid, slide Little Green over here" than "Hey Kid, slide the small green luggage over here".
Names are convenient.
Which operating system is newer: Focal Fossa or Sequoia? Gingerbread or Wheezy? Calendar versioning is pretty useful for some things. Major/minor revision versioning is useful for others. Codenames worked for Ubuntu during the first alphabetical run, but they started out non-alphabetical with WW, then HH, then BB, then DD-ZZ,AA-QQ, and now the second RR. The third WW will happen before the second CC. Codename versioning can work within one product line to denote relative age, but only if done properly. They're mostly marketing. When 'nix-heads chat about Ubuntu or Debian, they mention Ubuntu's calendar version or Debian's major version. Mac-heads, while numbered versioning exists, focus on the names and get confused about the relative ages of anything other than current. Naming discreet things like servers not in a cluster which don't need to have relative comparison to one another? Sure, ST:TNG up your rack space. But software is a different matter.
Diet soda is undrinkably nasty to me. I can't drink that nasty shit. I'll take water of it any day.
Of course, what I WANT is Dr Pepper. The regular stuff, not that nasty diet shit.
When I made my switch, I was the same. I started by weening myself off sugar by mixing diet with regular in ever increasing proportions. Diet sweeteners taste very sweet to me now, and sugar is very strong, almost undrinkable.
Put your best foot forward. Or just call in and say you're sick.
