There’s a linux file called fstab which is often pronounced f-s-tab because it’s a table of file systems. It was somewhat surprising to hear Dave Plummer pronounce it as “f-stab”, as in stabbing someone…

TFW “npm install somePackage” adds hundreds of names to your supplier list, some of whom aren’t even adults let alone companies, and the policy says that each new supplier needs to go through a thorough vetting process.

Seen in a code review (paraphrased):

“Why does this break when you add comments in the middle?”

Apparently they didn’t include the single quote at the beginning because they wanted to hint at the exploit without actually triggering it.

(and Lemmy seems to combine two dashes into one)

With an address in 's-Hertogenbosch to help people who are lazy about escaping.

Just noticed that the listing for ; DROP TABLE “COMPANIES”; – LTD has been redacted by the government website‽

Similar with the computer magazines, before they started coming with floppy disks.

30 seconds? Some exchanges have to measure the cables to prevent customers from getting a microsecond advantage!

Wikipedia can also be useful to find software - e.g.:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_vector_graphics_editors
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_player_software

or look at the Wikipedia page for whatever you want to replace and see if it’s in a category such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_editing_software_for_Linux

You can even do this with things that aren’t software, e.g. Homebase -> UK home improvement stores -> Screwfix.

Where do you get the legal time off thing? afaik that’s not a UK law - they would tell you to vote by post if you’re going to be at work all day.

What does help is that polling stations are everywhere - I’ve never had to walk more than a few hundred metres to vote, nor had to wait.

You can already ask llm to “write a short story in the style of [author name]” and see what it comes up with in terms of fictional city names or people names, which may well be unique to that author.

From listening to deviant’s talks, deadlatches still seem to be widely misunderstood.

What they mean is that the variable names and function names are documentation.

For example changing “for( i in getList() )” to “for( patient in getTodaysAppointments() )” is giving the reader more information that might negate the need for a comment.

That is essentially what the “Post-Open Source” idea is trying to do.

Just be careful naming your function “stdout()” or things could get weird…
