How come they don’t count? They’re figuring out how the machines should work, for money. That’s engineering, right? (I’m an American mechanical engineer)

Or the parasitic larva

Calling them weird isn’t going to work at all, that’s an absolutely terrible idea. Everyone wants weird. We need weird right now, just not their weird. We should be upping our weird game and present options that will work, that centrist libs will say are weirdly communist or anarchist sounding.

Things are about to change big time and it’s too late to stop that. The best we can do is shape it into something good. But nobody is buying tickets on the normal train. If you’re here on Lemmy, then you sure aren’t.

Normalize political energy. Howard Dean should have won.

It’s not just you. My new year’s resolution was to go down from double shots to single shots.

Man, we need mesh networks yesterday. I don’t care if it’s slow, I just want them to get out of my face.

An instance with poor interoperability and boot licker admins.

I’m glad Reddit won here because it sets a precedent that will protect less well-funded Lemmy instances.

Part of the reason this is a great example is you can easily calculate the maximum stress of an I-beam IFF you know where to find the simple formula. Even a dense FEA mesh will always give an answer like 3x4=11.9974, it’s worse. The education is how you know which formula to use.

Ok here’s a question I should have asked like way sooner.

In Ubuntu (and similar distros), is there a hotkey to immediately kill the process? Like CTRL-C but harsher.

That’s because he wasn’t around and it hasn’t been perverted. It’s the same as it always was and we keep making excuses for it.

I keep telling the stupid thing to stop wasting time and space apologizing, and it won’t.

I’m more of a mechanical engineer than a coder, and for me it’s been super helpful writing the code. The rest of our repo is clear enough that even I can understand what it actually does by just reading it. What I’m unfamiliar with are the syntax, and which nifty things our libraries can do.

So if you kinda understand programs but barely know the language, then it’s awesome. The actual good programmers at my company prefer a minimal working example to fix over a written feature request. Then they replace my crap with something more elegant.

Wouldn’t that just be a bunch of QR codes in the credits? That would be easier to automate than it is to pay middlemen.

It’s a tragedy of the commons - as an economics problem it matters, sure, but copyright is an artificial monopoly, not a human right. We could provide these more efficiently with public funding of the arts or crowdfunds, without the need to make up imaginary property with imaginary ethics.

But if you want to sign up for a bunch of subscriptions because some might trickle down to the writers, be my guest.

So you moved the goalposts?

You’ve gone from asking what was lost to insisting that they took it in order to give us a discount.

Refunding the sale price is still theft. If it was only worth that much to me (zero surplus), then I wouldn’t have bothered with the trade in the first place. The only things worth buying are worth more to you than the sale price.
