Because rules are meant to be broken :3

I did a “game design” school when I was younger, but couldn’t get a job as a programmer. Worked for a laboratory for a little over a year, and then went back to school to get a software engineering degree. I was 28 when I went into it, worked with “youngsters” of 18 years and older. It was completely fine.

I’m now 50k in debt, but I’m also making twice as much as I did with my minimally paying job at the laboratory. It’s going to be a boon in the long run, IMO.

Then, luck should be taken into account. Once you are done with your degree, perhaps the market will have recovered a bit, because I’m hearing a lot of negative feedback lately.

edit: If you’re not sure, you can take a peek at this graph of free MIT YouTube courses. Choose something interesting on the right, then figure out where to start on the left to get to your chosen point. Each course can easily take about 100 hours, which sounds a lot, but if you do them you can take that knowledge and more easily extrapolate information in the future.

It’s 2024, there’s no reason we should be afraid of non-ASCII characters.

I use an American layout and don’t have a numpad :(

Hm. Want to try to use the Relational Model, but am starting to hate SQL. Anyone know of any decent alternatives?

Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.

Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!

The amount of boomer bait on Facebook is staggering. The amount of Boomers falling for obviously AI-generated shite even moreso.

DROL: Dicht Rechts, Open Links.

I think I just prefer Links Los, which implies that the other way tightens.

Dutch, BTW.

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

Oh, I also really like Mammonism: “the greedy pursuit of riches”, from the Biblical “Mammon”.

I’ve got six of them:

• Tittynope: “A small amount left over; a modicum.”
• Cacography: “bad handwriting or spelling.”
• Epeolatry: “the worship of words.”
• Kakistocracy: “a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.”
• Oikophilia: “love of home”
• Tenebrous: “dark; shadowy or obscure”

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

Well, she did tell that she didn’t get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that’s not bolted down? Take it.

But that’s Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that’s going it out of sheer greed.

I was more thinking of Melanie’s Milk of the Siren (Warning: depiction of rape, revenge, and gore, not necessarily in that order. I don’t normally give off warnings, but this video goes 0-100 REAL fucking fast).

screen is like tmux, right? So you can split your CLI, open a new window/tab to open more Bash/Vim instances?

satay-sauce

I’ve been on the internet since 1996 or so, and this is the first mention (in English) of Satay. Amazing.

Satay with some mayo is nice as well.

Some good kebab helps too, probably due to the fat and salt, but water over kebab, if you have to choose.

The prosecutor argued that the murder of Shepard was premeditated and driven by greed

McKinney’s girlfriend told police that he had been motivated by anti-gay sentiment but later recanted her statement, saying that she had lied because she thought it would help him.

Price said she had lied to police about McKinney having been provoked by an unwanted sexual advance from Shepard, telling TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas, “I don’t think it was a hate crime at all.”[9][37] Rerucha said, “It was a murder that was once again driven by drugs.”[9]

Doesn’t seem to be a hatecrime. Just a crime against someone that happened to be gay.

Wild that Reddit’s creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).

Good. Super-fast growth fucks with local internet culture. Look at what happened to reddit when digg died.
