Really putting the “ass” in comparison there. Also, if a person say… wrote a best selling beloved children’s book series, but then heel-turned into a piece of shit, it absolutely does ruin their entire body of work for a lot of people.
Like, this happens, what is the comic even talking about?
It gets worse actually. You can define a number system using any power of 2 amount of i-like units in a similar relationship to quaternions using the Cayley-Dickson construction
Fascinatingly, you lose some property of the algebra at each step. Quaternions aren’t commutative: ABC != CBA. Octonians aren’t associative: (AB)C != A(BC). Once you get into 16 i’s with subscripts, it really gets crazy.
(Also, I just got the joke. Damnit @HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone your serious answer threw me off!)
The GBA SP really was a great portable. I carried my black\silver “executive” model everywhere and felt cool as shit at the time.
Those PS2 ads though, holy shit, what was Sony smoking back then?
For all the sudden word scholars here: there is no second word “master” that’s spelled, pronounced, and written exactly the same as the other one but is entirely unrelated to the concept of master\slave. All modern meanings of the word master derive from the same root: magister, meaning an authority or teacher.
A “master recording” is the authority, the base copy from which all others are duplicated. They aren’t called “slave” copies, although the primary use of the terms in computing did originally use those 2 words. Also as someone else pointed out, you don’t even really make copies of git branches in the same way as audio so the term is misapplied.
Main is also a bad name, unless you’re working on a solo project with only 1 main branch and some features. As soon as you start collaborating with other people, you should really have individual dev branches or “forks” (be honest, 90% of you aren’t rawdogging git straight from the CLI, there’s a forge website involved as hub) to work on, with an integration\testing “fork”\branch to combine work and a release branch for final code, with each discrete release tagged.
No gods, no kings, no masters!
No one commits to trunk anymore…
If you were trying to show another species that you were intelligent, sending basic shapes isn’t a terrible way to demonstrate understanding of some abstract ideas. Fascinating to consider what they’re “saying” with these.
Ooooh, I’d been thinking of switching to a standalone bookmark manager. I’ve had such luck moving to Keepass for password management (and using syncthing as my universal “no cloud” solution) that I’m hoping to eventually get all my cloud and proprietary-vendor-features moved to self-hosted OSS apps.
Excuse me, I’m trying to work today! Please refrain from posting this pornography in regular funny star trek threads!
Gotta be careful of that heat! Make sure to wear a big shady hat and have plenty of water when doing weed for lunch, the hottest part of the day!
OK but unless one if the 17 benefits is “drugs you to wakefulness with caffeine” then it isn’t exactly a coffee substitute is it?
This is far from the first Devil’s Panties comic posted here and many of the others mention her ADHD. You’re missing the deep lore.
My impressions from this comic are that I would hate the creator if I ever met them.
I think the joke is a typical take on ADHDers having “eyes bigger than their stomachs” for large tasks. Swimming in a lake is very fun, and can help one feel connected to nature. Swimming across a lake is a huge task, possibly requiring training, could take a long time, and is dangerous.
Why they decided to sit on the beach instead of swimming at all, I have no idea. Maybe it’s a “lakes are deep and scary because lake monsters” thing?
Is this another Disco Elysium situation? I really like Unknown World’s and their games. This is a real letdown; guess Natural Selection 3 or any new titles won’t be announced any time soon.
I’d never noticed that in this order, it’s almost π!
Off by 0.001 and some change; that coincidence is going to haunt me.
🧐: 0 is the origin of time, the big bang (if you believe in that kind if thing)
The problem then is figuring out when earth (and then human) time starts, but we can just add some arbitrary offsets that feel right and everyone agrees on.
How can sole maintainers work with multi-billion corporations without being taken advantage of?
They can’t, thats why GPL is noncommercial. Capitalism is an exploitative system that relies on power imbalance. As soon as MS reached out, he should have made it clear they can’t even look at his code for ideas without a contract and payment. He shouldn’t have told them anything else without a contract. Papers with legal claims on them are the only language business speaks.
Gotta love how everyone forgot about Newton in all this. Enjoy your instantly well-cooked hand, which is also made of meat.
Alas! I fear we cannot stay here longer,’ said Aragorn. He looked towards the mountains and held up his sword. ‘Farewell, Gandalf!’ he cried. ‘Did I not say to you: if you pass the doors of Moria, beware? Alas that I spoke true! What hope have we without you?’
He turned to the Company. ‘We must do without hope,’ he said. ‘At least we may yet be avenged. Let us gird ourselves and weep no more! Come! We have a long road, and much to do.’
