Or the funders get bored of waiting after ten years of “no Mars yet” and cancel the project, leaving you with a half finished rocket.

I guess whether it’s worth it depends on whether you hate writing code or reading code the most.

0 == []
>> true

"0" == []
>> false

0 == "0"
>> true

Some automatic conversion is fine.

a=3+0.2

print(“Hello {name}. You are {age} years old”)

That kind of thing. But the principle of least surprise definitely applies. If you get to the point where you’re adding two booleans and a string, I feel like the language should at least say something. At least until the technology exists for it to physically reach out of your screen and slap you.

I don’t often go for the full 4K Blu-ray Remux releases, since they’re massive and I can’t really tell the difference over a 10-15GB rip, at least visually. Just a webrip is fine, depending on the source. Plus even my nVidia Shield Pro struggles with them at times.

That doesn’t mean it’s not higher level than other languages from more recent times.

More like how all the music streaming services work. All got pretty much the same content, just different quality and prices.

Pretty much most of the screenshots I get these days are a photo of somebody’s screen taken on a phone.

Makes me long for retirement or at least a giant solar flare.

Honestly, I was there the first time round, when everyone raw dogged the internet on a single modem per PC. I remember Blaster, and talking people through removing it in 60 second bursts as their PCs shut down over and over.

It was carnage. The average user doesn’t need open ports on the internet, and they’ll only get their elderly machines infected instantly if they did.

Well somebody is about to find his Twitter account closed for a spurious reason.

It’s the same whenever he gets shown up.

“I’ll save those schoolboys with my robot submarine!”

*submarine won’t fit in cave*

*schoolboys are rescued by a diver*

“Pedo guy…”

I believe it’s red placebos that are better at helping with pain.

The brain is a fucky old thing.

Things pensioners who vote don’t like.

Because you could use the Linux one to save the file unencrypted because it’s not locked down.

I taught my sister this by lightly punching her in the arm repeatedly while going “if I hit you frequently it…?”

She’s done nothing scientific whatsoever in the 25 years since, but she still remembers that.

Yes, they’re called “customers”.

If only there was a way for media to exist as a file.

Alas, it’s just not possible.

Gee, we’ve tried taking content away, raising prices, injecting adverts and forcing them to use our crappy clients.

Why are people turning to piracy?

Advertising and lobbying are the only thing these people know how to do.

I went back to it recently. It’s mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.

Well now I don’t. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I’m set. I’m all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.

I sub to Spotify because it’s easier than pirating. I’m a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I’d probably pay up for it.

But there isn’t. They don’t want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.

Oh please don’t make me use Bing.
