These textbooks are trash and written by morons. When I was in college one of the required books said very clearly that sleep and hibernate are exactly the same thing. It said that both suspended to RAM and hibernate was just some lower power version of sleep. It was even a question on an exam that I got wrong for some reason. I argued with the professor about it and proved to him thats not the case by taking one of the lab computers, hibernating it, physically taking the ram out and swapping it with another computer and resuming into the same state on power on. He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”

It really highlights that there are probably a lot of other inaccuracies that I didn’t notice. This is the standard of education nowadays.

oh god i felt this one. Devs too busy, incompetent or just plain lazy to figure out why their code is so slow, so just have ops throw more CPU and memory at it to brute force performance. Then ops gets to try to explain to management why we are spending $500k per month to AWS to support 50 concurrent users.

Potatoes never go bad. They just start the process of turning into more potatoes.

fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository

Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can't be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.

Im pretty happy with protonmail. Email is kind of important you may not want to go with the cheapest option.

you should only need to reboot when updating the kernel. Why are you rebooting? Is it because the system is unresponsive?

oh please please please let “tweets” now be called “excretions”

We definitely have a DR plan at work that includes steps that must be performed at least one hour prior to the disaster occurring. Its quite a joke.

probably different texture resolution(s)

“We have our senior network engineer on the line” Im sorry, were you talking about me?

I don’t see how youtube or any private platform should have any obligation to host any kind of content legally.

The problem with free speech is that if you want to have it you have to give it to everyone. Even the morons. And my god are the morons vocal, closed minded and opinionated.

If you leave the videos up, it spreads misinformation. If you take them down, the morons cry censorship and spawn conspiracy theories gaining possibly even more traction. I personally think everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be able to speak freely, but the truth should drown out the lies.

He’s certainly got my vote.

pretty much all smartphones past few years have been incremental upgrades. Sometimes theres some gimmick but it really feels like we’ve reached a peak

alacritty

I was rear ended a couple of months back on the freeway. 100% not at-fault and I have the dashcam video to prove it. Anyways, I submit a claim through my insurance and I specifically asked what I should do about a rental car while mine was in the shop. I was told over the phone that if I was able I could book a rental car on my own and just submit the receipt, they will reimburse me and recover damages from the other driver's insurance.

So, that's what I did. I booked the rental car and after I returned it I submitted the receipt. A few hours after uploading the receipt through the claims portal, They called to inform me they weren't going to reimburse me for the rental, and that if I wanted it to be paid back I had to submit a claim directly through the other driver's insurance. So, I gave them a call.

The other driver's insurance told me they absolutely weren't going to pay for my rental car since they were already way over the property damage minimums on the policy.

So... I guess now I have to file in court against the driver directly and probably wait years to get reimbursed from someone who probably has no money to pay me anyway, just racking up more and more in court fees compounding my losses. Any attempted conversation with my insurance about how they outright lied to me just goes to an echo chamber. Emails get no response, Voicemails go unanswered, I even let my agent know about this and he followed up on my behalf. Nothing, no communication or response at all. They're just hoping I give up it seems.

State farm customer for 15 years, no claims, no tickets, always paid premiums on-time and in full. This was the first time I so much as called them. Right out the gate I get screwed over. Time to find another provider.

lol my kids are always disappointed when we’re done charging on road trips because they weren’t done with the episode of their TV show. We can’t even make it through one whole movie 20 minutes at a time on an all-day road trip. Supercharging really only allows enough time to stretch your legs and go for a quick walk before getting back on the road every ~200 miles or so, which you should absolutely be doing anyway.

I think a coffee with 8 sugars is still WAY less sugar than a soda.

x86 has been the standard for waaayyyyyy too long

and this is why linux is gaining so much market share in the desktop space so quickly.
