government agencies

what government agencies?

The anti-meat people have been lobbying government for decades. And they come out with 'research' that shows that eating plants 'may' increase your lifespan... You know what else may increase your lifespan? Running out in front of highway traffic.

If you wanna be healthy: eat real food; don’t be fat.

But... but... fat people are just big boned! And fresh fruit, veg and fish are so expensive compared to my cola, fries, burgers with delivery bought daily, and I just ain't got time to stand and cook food for myself. I'm a busy chronically online person.

There's a huge difference between 'treatment' and 'curing'. Especially when it comes to cancer.

This cancer vaccine protects t-cells from being deactivated by these types of cancer, allowing the body to identify and deal with the cancer.

Mind blowing. This level of science is happening and there are idiots running around thinking that vaccinations and brain parasites cause autism and ivermectin will cure it. Do we live in two simultaneous timelines?

I've watched a millennial uni student dick about with his laptop trying to find where tf his files are, not knowing the difference between the cloud and his local computer. University level.

I think all web software is unbelievably shit. The web is for porn, not software.

MS used to be at the forefront of UI, but now? You may be interested in: https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs

What were the 'popular' distros at the time of the magazine?

[–] 0101100101@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's the most popular OS for toilets. And toasters. And fridges. And those display boards above drinks dispensers in supermarkets.

Memory unlocked! Those blue zip drives were awesome! So much free space to put your rubbish on to. And the 'disks' had those funky grey hexagon pellets inside which mesmerised me!

I haven't used Windows nor Office for so long I have no idea what half of those icons are for. Word stopped being great around 2007 when the ribbon was introduced. Before then, it had an amazing UI, the right amount of features and allowed you to do your work. N? T? Turquoise P?

Now, wow. It blows my mind people put up with all that.

This caveat, glossed over in the article, is potentially a huge drawback. I've known people who have been floored after just one of the vaccines. Though I wonder if the body reacts differently to the combined than two singles.

 

Might as well help get this channel off to a flying start!

What's your favourite switch (key type) and why? What would you like to try but haven't yet and what have you tried but wasn't for you?

 

Working on a class that I'd like to use in a library (not for work) and think I'd appreciate external opinions!

If not, where else could I post code for critique? Thanks

 

They're noisy, clacky, impossible to use in an office, in your house without headphones, perhaps even annoying neighbours, need effort to make them work on USB, so why do people love them so much?

I've tested two. Didn't like them because sometimes if you don't hit the keys head on, they move a bit to the side with the spring and that's jarring on your fingers.

Where do you stand on the debate?

Also, first post, so what better a topic!

 

A great way to learn the basics. It'll be old, but that's ok. It's going to cover all the shell basics and then more. It's still going to be useful, it'll cost you pennies, you'll be able to dip into it when you want, and you'll be giving to a good cause.

 

Macro keyboards are mini programmable USB keyboards that can be pressed to trigger shortcuts, a sequence of keypresses etc. They can have several layers so switching to a different one will trigger different keypresses from the same key, so e.g. different IDEs can be represented.

I've just bought one with a view to setting up shortcuts for debugging. Each IDE has its own unique keys for navigating through the code, so I figure it'll be nice to just press one key to start debugging and one key to step into instead of a combination of ctrl+whatever etc

Do you use one? If so, what do you use it for and what size do you use? Is it too big / too small?
