It’s a poorly aging business empire owned by an outspoken nazi. Willingness to prop up the real life horror wrought by Rowling just for a bit of entertainment is depravity

what is this pic from??

Instead of starting from the code, start from the problem you’re trying to solve. You want a program that guesses numbers randomly in a loop? you need a way to make a random numbers and a way to make loops, which are units small enough to maybe remember whenever you need them with a little practice

The cloud is kind of an odd one out here, cloud providers are bringing in like half a trillion dollars a year from willing customers

Debian is perfect in particular for work. Stable, free, capable. Hardly more to want. And it’s been almost the only stable bedrock in my tech career of over two decades.

It seems to be trying to get rid of me already by making it take 5 sign in attempts to join a teams call late

there’s a utility named rename that will rename based on regular expressions. I think all the things you listed can be done by making a suitable regexp for each case

As far as I can tell the AI thing is an excuse; the jobs are really being cut because we’re reaping a harvest of policy so bad it’s indistinguishable from sabotage, and the AI thing is being used to ease the fall without spooking investors straight into a stock market crash

I always thought transgender people might make natural spiritual leaders for the wisdom gained from seeing life in two so very different ways

Wow, the precision with which this struck me is concerning. I’m really, incredibly autistic at all times aren’t I?

there’s documentary evidence that human food causes violent vomiting in vampires! (what we do in the shadows)
