I have one, it’s been great.
That said, “exactly what the problem is” isn’t always the same as telling you the solution. I had a “misfire on cyl #3” error or something like that, which can be a number of things. Replacing all the coils and plugs myself was probably still cheaper than taking it to the shop though!
In grad school I bought a blue (405nm) laser pointer. It was supposed to be <5mW, but I measured it at over 70mW.

My favorite is habanero — there’s no ñ, just n, but some will make a show of pronouncing it with the incorrect ñ sound.
I’m in California, but we still (currently) have the same federal bullshit requirements. Doctor friend said I should lie.
Made an appointment, and the pharmacist asked if I was immunocompromised, or XYZ, and I just told them that I qualify—no follow up questions, just a jab in the arm.
To be fair, I do have anxiety that my government is trying to kill me, but that’s just crazy…
poweroff and reboot work as advertised for me, but I’m running headless homelab servers and a laptop with i3. Maybe DEs/GUI shutdown is more subtle?
Yeah, I run i3 and headless servers, so it’s poweroff or reboot for me. Always works as advertised.
Except on the Linux systems I’ve used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).
I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.
Never said that at all. I’ve had some fantastic food in England.
Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure — but go to a first class US city and you’ll find great food.

Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state — if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don’t step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there’s a power failure).
Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.
I think parent is referring to Merkle trees.
It’s interesting that, with Python, the reference implementation is the implementation — yeah there’s Jython but really, Python means both the language and a particular interpreter.
Many compiled languages aren’t this way at all — C compilers come from Intel, Microsoft, GNU, LLVM, among others. And even some scripting languages have this diversity — there are multiple JavaScript implementations, for example, and JS is…weird, yes, but afaik can be faster than Python in many cases.
I don’t know what my point is exactly, but Python a) is sloooow, and b) doesn’t really have competition of interpreters. Which is interesting, at least, to me.
Did the developer use any version control though? SCCS has been around since the early 70s, RCS and CVS since the 80s. The tools definitely existed.
Also, it was a single dev, which makes SCM significantly simpler!
Yeah, but do they like Huey Lewis and the News?
Hey Paulina!
OTOH, if you can afford basic necessities, hobbies are just a rounding error on top of them.

Can go directly upwind (no tacking required). Can also be applied to boats.
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_Osbourne
The couple used to physically fight regularly and, according to Osbourne, they would “beat the shit out of each other.” She has described herself as “a beaten woman” when she was at the hands of husband Ozzy where he once knocked out her front teeth. She once retaliated by throwing a full bottle of scotch at his head.
ethic cleansing
Tbh that doesn’t sound too bad? Like maybe take a nice shower but with cruelty free/plant-based soap that wasn’t animal tested (and obviously there’s no drought concern in this scenario).
go2rtc, a camera streaming tool that’s useful for security cameras, at least has some humor in their choice — port 1984, of course.
But will he do the Fandango?
