Instead of actually explaining it, here’s how I like to remember it: If you are measuring something that produces a perfect sine wave, and you can’t take measurements faster than 30 Hz, then you can’t definitively prove that the sine wave repeats faster than that. No matter how many data points you collect, the actual frequency could always be double what your measurements suggest.

It’s so bad it’s almost artistic

This meme but unironically

We’ve figured out optimal packing methods for any number of squares inside a big square. When a number is below and near a square number like 15, you just leave an empty box, but when it’s far from the next square number, you’ll be able to pack them more efficiently than just leaving empty squares around. Turns out this kind of stuff is hilariously hard to prove that it’s the most efficient method.

1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.

Not to be confused with Digital Rights Management, another far more widely used DRM acronym. No worries, it’s not like that’s confusing or anything.

Reboot Doomguy hasn’t been a space marine for almost a decade now. He’s always been a Titan sent by gods.

Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.

That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.

I’m always confused when people talk about browser design/UI for exactly this reason. Regardless of browser, 95% of your screen is the same. Why would you even care what the default theme is? Not to mention themes are super customizable

I would like to know more.

It’s actually very possible to miss the message of Bioshock. Andrew Ryan built the perfect city and Atlas ruined it. Andrew Ryan cast him out, but Atlas brought the player character as his final ultimate weapon. You eventually rebel, saving the capitalist Utopia.

I have seen people who abided by this interpretation. Any art with any level of subtlety can be misinterpreted. It’s inherently subjective and depends on the viewer’s personal biases.

But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that “GitLab Support Bot” always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.

Where science meme?

Apparently Mr. Ballmer is a real programmer at Microsoft. Even better, he was still working at Microsoft in 2007 when the comic came out, but retired a few years later.

“Our code is a buggy mess and no one so far has been able to fix it”

That was thr lore behind infinity blade. All magic rings can be distilled down to short range teleportation, just paired with different locations.

Smh my head, scientists still don’t have stable fusion, when Erastosthenes was using it as a constant in his experiments.

It’s not Slack’s fault. It is a good platform for one-off messages. Need a useless bureaucratic form signed? Slack. Need your boss to okay the afternoon off? Slack. Need to ask your lead programmer which data structure you should use and why they’re set up that way? Sounds like the answer should be put in a wiki page, not slack.

All workflows are small components of a larger workplace. Emails also suck for a lot of things. They probably wouldn’t have worked in this case, memos are the logical upgrade from emails where you want to make sure everyone receives it and the topic is not up for further discussion.
