If it was a Futurama setting, would he be Gender Bender?

Primitive Technology.

CIV:BE sort of scratches the SMAC itch.

Is that why cities are full of rats? Because of heartless bastards that no longer need theirs?

When I was younger and more naïve, I used to think a case was useless. I kept my phones in my pocket most of the time, and didn’t feel particularly clumsy or reckless. Then I got a phone that happened to have a glass back, and it broke not because I fumbled it, but because it slid out of my pocket onto time floor while I was sitting down. Glass backs on phones are bullshit.

So TCP ACK is the backwash?

shitdown -h now

Beat me to it by that much 🤏

If it’s not in OEIS it’s not famous.

I still have my HP 48 series calculator. It’s a sturdy beast.

I’ve seen it successfully happen due to licensing costs and cloud migration (MSSQL->Spanner), as well as for scalability reasons (vanilla postgres->cockroach). The first one was a significant change in features, the latter did sacrifice some native plugins. In the first case the company was using vendor specific features, and rewrote the backend to fit the new vendor.

There’s vendor agnosticism, and then there’s platform agnosticism. Writing your code so that it’s not tied to one specific implementation of postgres is fine, and lets you use a compatible drop-in. Writing your code so you can swap MSSQL for Oracle or Aurora or whatever at will does not make sense. In every case of attempted platform agnosticism I’ve seen they ended up abandoning the project within a year or two with nothing to show for it.

Or they work in a regulated industry that requires pseudo-airgapped machines for remote users, e.g. the machine actually interacting with the systems needs to be within the controlled boundary but the company has a presence in multiple locations, so the solution is to have a Citrix server that the users remote into. But because the SSP also has access control requirements at every stage that take a long time to get updated to newest industry standards, the user still needs to have passwords rotated, MFA, and all that kaboodle.

Note that Wasabi has no egress fees, but has a transfer limit - essentially the contract stipulates that your monthly egress will be less than the amount of storage you pay for.

No, it’s not missing the point. The premise that you’re always looking at code on the same screen is false, and you don’t always have control over how all screens are configured.

Now you’re just shifting the goalpost.

The whole reason nearly all the spaces guys do 4 spaces is cause that’s the nearly universal tab width.

That is provably wrong. The default tab width in vim is 8 spaces, and the default indentation in yaml is two spaces.

impermanent

Isn’t that called ephemeral these days?

If it “holds” the screams as if it was an item, would you be able to pull a scream out of the bag at will? Does than then mean that you can use the bag to prepare verbal components of spells?

The one thing snap does that flatpak doesn’t is provide CLI applications. But then nix also does that, so snap can go pound salt.
