The worst was when someone left for vacation without releasing their file locks.

Only Mac OS 10 and later, based on BSD, uses ‘/‘. (And, I guess, A/UX.) Classic MacOS used a ‘:’, but it wasn’t regularly exposed in the UI. The only way most users would know is that the colon couldn’t be used in a file name.

Voyager’s computer, at least, works on quaternary (4 state) data rather than binary (2 state) data. They keep referring to data storage quantities in quads rather than bits or bytes.

They’re able to recycle 93% of the water on the station. The leftover high concentration waste water, along with the poop bags, are loaded into a Progress or Cygnus cargo ship that burns up on reentry.

It fits, English and JavaScript are both three languages in a trench coat.

I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.

We used unused punchcards to make flashcards in elementary school in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I guess the county bought a bunch and had to find another use.

Disks appear directly on the desktop; dragging a disk to the trash can ejects it if its removable media, and the only type of disk the original Mac had was a 400KB single-sided 3.5” floppy drive.

What stock is going to crash faster, Reddit or Truth Social?

You misunderstand. HTTP 502 means the server is running on an old Gateway computer, and its capacitors are starting to go.

First, git checkout -b omgFire, then do the rest.

All numbers in JS are stored as 64-bit floats, so past a certain point, precision starts to degrade.

I was running bash back on Windows XP through Cygwin.

It can swing both ways. Half of Taylor Swift’s songs don’t paint her ex’s in a good light.

In the house I grew up in, you’d also have to hope no one flushed the downstairs toilet. If so, the cold water pressure would suddenly drop, leaving a lot more hot water coming out of the shower head.

I’m assuming it supposed to represent Arlington’s location within the original square District of Columbia, before the Virginia portion was retroceded back to the state.

There goes my hero.
