Hamilton. That's the only case I think that someone working with code is justified in calling themselves an engineer. Doesn't matter if it is data or software or whatever.
And I am getting very suspicious about the claim that someone is an engineer when they have never visited a materials class.
NeatNerdPrime, if your real first name is not Margarete, I don't consider you an engineer. -

Never ran steam os. Putting energy in my gaming os is not high on the my priority list. And a known solution is usually less effort. -
Agni is strong. Believe in agni.

Link. Your UI. My constipation.
Our battle will be legendary! -

Always the same discussion. Linux is for work. Linux changes my mindset.
It is a completely different thing to close everything down and having to reboot.
In short, if I have games on Linux, I am easily distracted. If I have games on Windows, I do not even want to play games in work mode until my work is done.
Separation of concerns I guess. -
You should become very familiar with the API of your nearest pizza place.
Also any online pharmacy that delivers pain killers would be helpful. Automate it, because chances are you won't have time to do it manually.
And if you find a liquor store nearby, well you know the drill. Look up the API and automate it. -

What was it again, the only problem that abstraction cannot solve it too much abstraction? -
Put on some Ghoultown and stick to your guns. Someone is digging their own grave, don't doubt yourself.

Well, most languages are fine.
They always have a subset of features you better not use. Once avoided, the rest of the language becomes straight forward.
The difficulty is to figure out if it is an advanced concept or feature better avoided. That question is usually contested. -
That's bullshit. I am supposed to believe that this CEO wouldn't have slept with this guy's wife if he hadn't received push back?

RegEx is amazing. Build a state machine, fucking O(n) execution guaranteed. I love them...
Fuck look arounds, though. -
Is this the typical "I had a great story, wanted to post it to devrant, but while writing it I got afraid that people from my work are on devrant and will learn who I am if I'm too specific, so to stop my arsehole from clenching I decided to remove identifiable facts until it was a bland bare-bone version of the post I had in mind"-type of post?

Cats were great against mice, but if you had a rat infestation you use dogs. Well, you used both, but dogs had their distinct uses in hunting rats. There are dogs specifically bred to hunt rats. Like Jack Russel Terrier for instance. Or the aptly named Rat Terrier.

@kiki Fucking hell, who wants your life story. Have some moderation.

Oh just be nice to her.
Mothers deserve a nice kid.
Either because they are good mothers,
or because the eventual backstab hurts so much more if they are not...
And in the latter case, have her declared legally insane and have her institutionalized. -
Worst case scenario, you have to swap batteries. Big deal

What kind of religion is PDF and if we integrate them, will they be exactly 1?

Just because you are many doesn't mean you're correct. You are just like the hundreds of wrong-way drivers I encountered on the motorway the other day.

You cannot win against cats, but you can mitigate. I have a printer next to my desk. When my cat is on my desk, I slap my printer a few times gently for her to jump down there. And there I pet her.
She then jumps up again when I stop, so I repeat. I try to only pet her when she sits on the printer, not when she is on the desk.
She comes up to annoy me and goes down to get petted, that constant up and down powers her out in 10 minutes. And 10 minutes are better than 1 hour. -
I am most definitely a bot. Don't think the others are. I cannot see them here in the process list.

I've encountered people like this.
They are engaged, interested, driven and completely useless. They seem to always read the latest articles, follow the tech youtuber scene, spend dozen hours per day on it and are, essentially, utterly of no use.
Those people fascinate me. They have usually average intelligences. They should be able to do average work. But in the end, they don't manage to do anything.
When confronted with a small problem. Something tiny, with a default solution, they propose new technology that they have heard of. Often enough technology I have never heard of until that day. It is wildly out of proportion in the given situation. Like they propose to implement a dataware house when a cookie would do. And then, when convinced or ordered, they fail to implemented the cookie.
I'd classify them a normal idiot, if it wasn't for the drive and enthusiam. They are a conundrum. -
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This is Mr. New Vegas. Thank you very very much for listening.
A package courier found shot in the head near Goodsprings has reportedly regained consciousness and made a full recovery.

That's without mods, of course. -
Don't forget, the computer is under the table. On top is just the monitor.
Oh, and if there is fire, just put it to the other fire. -
Why would write it out be faster than without it?
The database has to decide if it eliminates the projection in its query optimizer and if it is * it can always eliminate the projection. If it is all fields, it has to compare it to the columns present to figure out if all columns are named and can conly eliminate it then.
This is technically an O(n) effort, but since n is the amount of columns and normally the amount of columns is so much smaller than m, which is the amount of rows, so that n << m, we can say it is ≈ O(1). So, in the end, it shouldn't matter. -
Linux dumpster fires:
Sleep. Has something to do with new power modes that Microsoft pushed for to be able to activate a sleeping laptop and run updates...
Also is connected to NVME and not provided drivers and/or documentation.
4k displays, UHD displays, again, bad support from display and graphic card manufactorers.
The result:
Fiddle and you get the screens working on the right scaling. Do not touch again.
Hibernation is now difficult. Rather turn your computer off.
If that's a no go, linux is a dumpster fire. But if you can live with that, I linux is perfectly fine. -
I am not even on it. I am a 2, but mine is just twice as tall with a 1 on the side.
But this is my dream setup: -
@cafecortado
Yeah... Format doesn't matter from a non-programmer is akin to "I love spicy food" from someone who thinks spicy food is going to a Mexican restaurant and having never heard of Scoville. -
@Parzi
Might I point at my previous comment? -
@Parzi
Well, I have a hard time believing it being so slow, so I wrote this python code that is pretty much what you described and copied it on my raspi, because that's the biggest lemon I can run python on that I have around here. I timed the output:
time python3 foobar.py
lRw9Bpo3
real 0m0.233s
user 0m0.201s
sys 0m0.032s
Over multiples runs that was pretty much stable. -
@Parzi you have to work hard to make eight random numbers this slow. You do not really think that the same coder would look good in a different language.
