Habe mehrere Minuten damit zugebracht, einen Produktbegriff zu finden, wo es keinen “…24.de”-Shop dazu gibt, weil ich weder Werbung für einen Betrüger-Shop machen will, noch einen legitimen Shop durch den Kakao ziehen will. 😅

Finde ich cool, gerade auch weil’s so ein bisschen schon kuratiert ist, einfach nur weil die Leute nicht jeden Schrottladen eintragen.

Wenn man halt in eine Suchmaschine “knalltüte online-shop” eintippt, dann kommen teilweise die üblichen Verdächtigen, teilweise dann aber auch knalltüten24.de, wo man sich einfach nur denkt, Leute, ihr könnt mir nicht erzählen, dass ihr nur Knalltüten verkauft und sich das rechnet.

Die mittelgroßen/regionalen Online-Shops findet man leider oft nur mit Glück, oder indem man bei den üblichen Verdächtigen schaut, wer deren Vertriebspartner ist.

Yeah, I was gonna specifically pick out biology. Feels like the more you know about it, the cooler it gets to just head outside and look at critters. Kind of like Pokémon, but real.

I would guess that the units used in smoke alarms and microwaves generally have integrated drivers that only operate at a single frequency.

Yeah, you could more easily create a rhythm than a full melody. If you get a few devices, which beep at different frequencies each, you could do a lot more by having them beep in succession and in intervals.

Of course, this requires that they’re roughly in tune, which may not be the case at all. 🥴

Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.

I mean, I typically see it used for installing applications, and so long as TLS is used for the download, I’m still not aware of a good reason why you should check the Bash script in particular in that case, since the application itself could just as well be malware.

Of course, it’s better to check the Bash script than to not check it, but at that point we should also advise to download the source code for the application, review it and then compile it yourself.
At some point, you just have to bite the bullet and I have not yet seen a good argument why the Bash script deserves special treatment here…

Having said that, for cases where you’re not installing an application, yeah, reviewing the script allows you to use it, without having to trust the source to the same degree as you do for installing an application.

Man, I do love when Wikipedia is Just Stating Facts™ and yet reads like the sassiest gossip, because reality is just so dumb^[1].

Ivanka Trump [Trump’s daughter with his first wife] has been described as the inspiration of Mar-a-Lago face.

Kristi Noem, Melania Trump [Trump’s third wife], and Kimberly Guilfoyle have been described as having Mar-a-Lago face.

He does like to talk about wanting sex with Ivanka, so I guess, that tracks.

Melissa Rein Lively, a MAGA political worker, was reported […] to reject “any idea of submission or constraint” associated with Mar-a-Lago face, and that “no one forces me to do two hours of sport a day, to go to the hairdresser every three and a half weeks, to get my nails and eyebrows done, to get Botox.”

Blink twice, if you’re being forced to say this…? Seriously, why would you list a bunch of unpleasant aspects, if you’re trying to make the point that you don’t mind it?

One thing that will become important pretty quick if you continue making these scripts is that it’s almost always better to wrap your variables in quotes - so it becomes yt-dlp -x “$a”.

Oh man, this reminds me of the joke that any program that’s more complex than Hello World has bugs – and folks still don’t even agree how to spell “Hello, World!”.

Of course, Bash is a particular minefield in this regard…

Hmm, the link I posted is just the “1,567 × 1,974 pixels” preview from your link. The original TIFF file wouldn’t display in my browser, so I linked the preview. 🥴

Is it? I work in tech and I would have not a single fucking clue…

Man, you have a lot of confidence in your ability to tell Rainmeter apart from Conky, Eww or the like, from just a handful of pixels…

There’s a higher resolution image here, which does look like there’s splodges of paint still there: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Crvenokosa_boginja%2C_neolit%2C_Donja_Branjevina.tif/lossy-page1-1567px-Crvenokosa_boginja%2C_neolit%2C_Donja_Branjevina.tif.jpg

Joa, habe TDD nie als Dogma gelernt, sondern aus der Praxis, also kann gut sein, dass das was ich kenne ein pragmatischerer Ansatz ist.

Für mich war immer der relevante Aspekt, dass man eben nicht einfach drauf loscodet, sondern sich vorher Gedanken macht, was die Anforderungen sind, was wiederum eine Grundvoraussetzung für sinnvolles Design ist, daher hat mich eure Beschwerde gerade etwas überrascht…

Das entspricht so gar nicht meiner Vorstellung von TDD. Für mich ist TDD, dass man sich explizit vorher Gedanken macht und diese in einer Spezifikation niederschreibt. Die Spezifikation wird dabei in Form von Unit- und Integrationstests verfasst, damit automatisch geprüft werden kann, dass der Code der Spezifikation entspricht.

Yeah, so many people swear by mechanical keyboards with a huge amount of key travel, and I never see it discussed that the key travel itself is problematic.

To be fair, Sarah Bond was in a similar position and is a woman of color, too.

In the original blog post, it isn’t stated as a conclusion that OnlyOffice is fake open-source because they default to a proprietary file format, but rather just as a general dig at them.

I can certainly understand the sentiment. OnlyOffice is developed by a corporation. It can be forked in theory, but in practice there is no open-source community with the knowledge or developer capacity to do so. So, users are ultimately still reliant on a corporation with a profit motive to not fuck them over.

Also has to be said, though, that the dig is written as part of the perspective from the author of that blog post, and merely mentioned in passing, too. It is far away from an official statement by the LibreOffice community.

Alles ist irgendwie nur Zucker, Öl und Proteine, na und?

Wenn man Ballaststoffe, Vitamine, Mineralien und die physikalische Realität wie so ein Körper Nahrungsmittel aufnimmt mal ausklammert, dann schon, ja.

Yeah, always found that interesting, how a talent can play out in two ways:

1. You get feedback from the outside that your talent is exceptional and you show it to everyone.
2. Or you don’t get that feedback, you kind of just assume that everyone is as good as you are, and that your talent is not worth showing. By not showing it, you continue to not get feedback on it and may not realize for quite some time.
