There was a radio station who’s whole thing was that they would never play nickleback. Then one day they accidentally played nickleback. The Playlists were coming from some head office 5000 miles away, and they missed pulling a nickleback track once it got to the local station.

I viscerally recall, and don’t think kids now will ever fully comprehend the one week where all 4 wheels fell off the meme bus and this was what people were literally posting. I’m legitimately triggered.

My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.

//assign a as a function of aa,aaa,A,a3, and a2

Nailed it

So… indistinguishable from the statistical mean of human generated comments.

Oh, ok yah. It might not be vim. It could literally be anything. I just thought I’d missed something

Why?

I suspect that atmosphere composition makes different options more or less viable.

The difficulty/cost getting to orbit probably also would influence where a space elevator lands in terms of developmental priority.

Speaking in personal anecdotes, I think the ratio of “importance” to “how well it is done”, sociology wears the crown.

What do bees need pollen for? I thought bees just got bukkaked as an co-evolutionary repayment for the nectar they’re jacking?

Not IT, but my dad said they lost a chemical engineering hire over this once, like 25 years ago.

In pretty much the opposite direction, my hill is that “right”,“wrong”, “blameworthiness” and “praiseworthyness” are concepts that people are in general allergic to critical thought towards, and they are EXACTLY the concepts that people should be approaching in order to have a better life and to make a better world.

When people type 70wpm andit it requires thier full attention, it seems intuitive that this is a bottleneck. I just don’t believe that’s the typical state of affairs for most devs. Most management, sure.

I’m not saying there aren’t some code that get written that is braindead simple and have a lot of keystrokes (builders come to mind) but modern IDEs will generate them for you. We already had a plethora of deterministic code generation tools at our fingertips.

Considering how trivial it is to build, and the plethora of working examples on github, I expect anyone is one chatgpt prompt away from running afoul of this.

This hits.

I stepped into a similar implementation. Took like 6 months and 10 people to support…

… changing the URL of the sftp server we connected to.

wget will give you a sniff of what the problem is. Microsoft Store will not.

I don’t NEED an application to necessarily pinpoint the error. Just even a rough direction. Any browser will explicitly tell you if there is a cert issue. That’s more than enough to go on.

I understand the mechanism, and why it is important.

I don’t understand why the error message from the store was nothing more than an error code, and why the MSKB for that code had absolutely no mention of a failed ssl negotiation as a possible cause.

Couldn’t install iTunes because my clock was wrong. That certainly wasn’t the ERROR I was presented with, but was ultimately the root cause.

That, coincidentally, was the very same evening that I decided to and did uninstall windows on that machine.

If it makes you feel any better, I always hear and appreciate the little countermelodies coming from the Euphs

Oh, don’t worry about that. The inflated egos are distributed across all the musicians too. It takes a special kind of personality to achieve that level of singular proficiency.

I think it’s one other reason to HAVE a conductor, is to have an ultimate authority on some matters where musicians egos get involved.

In many (most?) compositions, there are going to be some banger little licks in many different sections. It honestly kinda sucks sometimes when you’ve got one… but you gotta hold it back because it’s still just a supporting component. To you, as the musician… you might fall in love with it, wanna push it, take the opportunity to shine and generate some goosebumps. And, obviously, since you’re God’s gift to the world, you SHOULD. The composer was WRONG to hit you with a mp. Maybe the composer’s French Horns couldn’t lead with it, but they never envisioned your talent.

The trumpets shoot you a look to calm down? Fuck 'em. They always get the spotlight.

Having a structure with an ego to rule all egos helps (does NOT eliminate) these kinds of things.
