I think that flu thing is an old wives tale. You usually get flu because you breathed it in. The association with cold is because during cold weather people spend more time in poorly ventilated areas.

Same. Often finish the can with a feeling of disappointment and thirst.
Pretty sure our right wing is left of your left wing. So no you can’t have it because you don’t have a system that supports anything other than the right-wing hellscape you got now.
Thanks, that’s very kind!
Whatever you say kiddo
Yeah the US differs by a couple of weeks iirc
20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.
Some things never change.
Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
The other person says: “and quartz, of course”
The first person replies: “of course.”
The caption to the comic reads “even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field”
What’s the ableism in the comment? Sincere question because I thought I knew what it was but can’t spot any here so I must be ignorant.
I completely agree. I taught JS/TS for 5yrs and I always emphasised that the ‘class’ keyword was just syntactic sugar for what was already available in prototype inheritance of JS.
Huh? I’ve worked with TypeScript + React for the last 5yrs and the only time I see OOP is when someone’s done something wrong.
Maybe you’re thinking of old react with class based components?
They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.
Supply and demand.
Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.
And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.
You know Dropbox? Google drive? OneDrive? That’s file synchronisation. Files across multiple devices kept in sync by the software provider. Except in the named cases above, all your data is uploaded to their servers. With syncthing there’s no cloud server, just your devices operating over the internet. So you have some backup responsibility to cover.
Caveat: I’ve never used syncthing and I wrote the above with a total of 10 seconds of reading their website and so it is entirely possible I’m completely wrong about everything and so I emplore you to do your research.
Oh man Titan AE was how I discovered Lit, was really into them back then. Still love Over my HeaD!
And you do realise that a people do not automatically revert to the state they were in the last time they were independent, right?
If Scotland were to gain independence I highly doubt they’d revert to their 17th Century feudal state.
It’s exclusivity deals that are the problem. Governments should legislate them away so that there can be competition.
Then we’d all choose the marketplace of our preference. Like supermarkets.
Video streaming, music streaming, games consoles, even mobile OSs all could benefit from some anti-monopoly legislation.
Yeay this was the update that killed Jerboa for me.
Now on Voyager which seems much nicer. And actually works.
Yeah good point I forgot about those…such a damn shame because it also makes it really hard for the honestly ignorant because it’s like “no stfu I actually need to know this!”
Well to be fair it probably is pessimism. That doesn’t make you a pessimist in the same way that me expecting to wake up every morning doesn’t make me an optimist.
