I’m guessing he first encountered the word in text without having heard it and his brain guessed it rhymes with “jaguar”, which is understandable.

So on the one hand, I think you are going to find almost nobody agrees with your pronunciation. On the other hand, you should wear your mispronunciations with pride because what that tells me is that you were a reader growing up and likely came about this word the first time in text without any other context, maybe even many times before you heard it spoken. Your brain made an educated guess (I’m guess pulling from the pronunciation of “jaguar”?). It got it wrong, but understandably so, and it has cemented in your brain. Fix it if you care to, but no real need. Either way, kudos for being a young reader.

Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?

Cute girl: “Oh, Light, you’re so cute. Let me give you my number.” … “Oh shoot, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow?”

Light: “Uh, yeah…” absentmindedly rips piece of the Death Note out “Uh, here you go…”

Cute girl: scribbles number on page “and there you go, cutey” walks away

Light: looks at paper “Oh… Oh no. ‘555-5555 TTYL, Light Yagami’? … Fuck.”

L: *rips off cute girl disguise" “Heh.”

Really went downhill after volume 3. You hope that they’ll get back on course by volume 6 at least, but alas.

Not if it is filled to the brim with 3 TB of porn

Horseshit. Computers aren’t tools for a software engineer. Computers are tools to an administrator, an accountant. Computers are the sandbox you are building castles in as a software engineer. If you don’t understand the system upon which you build, its abilities and features, its limitations, it’s dependencies, you are going to make some stupid mistakes.

You need to understand discrete mathematics as a consequence of computer computation. You need to understand parallel processing and threading for muli-core processors. You need to understand networking, package management, security vulnerabilities, etc. from different architectures and protocols. And it ALWAYS helps to understand the very basics of a computer’s functioning, from hardware, CPU architecture, machine code, assembly/low level programming, memory management, etc.

print('Hello, World!) is day one shit for a reason. Programming language and logic is the basics. The real expertise comes from your 3rd and 4th year materials. Databases, architecture, theory of computation, discrete mathematics, networking, operating systems, compilers, etc.

My CS degree had a hardware/IT support class, but A) it was entirely simulation based. We never touched any actual hardware. We “built” PC’s or identified physical issues in 3d sim software, set up RAID arrays in software, etc. B) it was super hand holdy and you only ever go over a problem once, so nothing on the class has stuck. I know much more from having built, troubleshot and maintained my own computers and network than I ever learned from that class, then learned more by doing in an actual IT support position before becoming an engineer.

This shit sounds like when your mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the fax machine. I’m not smart enough to even guess how you did something dumb enough to make that happen.

How bad are you at writing queries? How does your hard drive overheat even under 100% load? Do you have it smothered under a blanket? Did you crack it up and expose it to cheeto dust? What does running a query on your, presumably, remote database even have to do with your harddrive in the first place? Are you trying to copy the entire database locally to a laptop? Do you know how to tie your shoes yet, or are you still on the velcro?

I guess I’m an awesome nerd!

Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”

It was certainly a waste of my Family Video rental fee

There are 4 sequels. I think I have only seen most of 2 and a part of 3. They’re super low budget and completely miss the point, as I recall.

Sacrifice your body, mind and autonomy to the system. Kill to protect property. Make every waking moment about maintaining and advancing our corporate overlords’ wealth and control.

This is the way.

With only about 34% of his body remaining.

In all fairness, the Starship Troopers sequels forget the point of the first film too. And the fact that movies are supposed to be watchable.

Those are not female presenting nipples. Those are moobs if ever I’ve seen em.

I’m a software/data engineer, so for work I obviously use a computer all the time. I also have a very nice personal computer but it doesn’t get as much use anymore as it used to. I play the occasional game on it, use it for tracking our budget/finances and stuff once a month, manage my plex server, and do the occasional random task on it that requires things like typing or photo editing. But it’s not been getting a lot of attention since I finished school, even less since having my daughter. Also I have automated a lot of my tasks so that I don’t need to manage it as much.

My phone is my main device for most of my entertainment, web surfing, news reading, banking, etc. plus it keeps my todos/shopping lists, my wife and I’s shared calendar, my alarms, digital coupons for groceries, GPS… all of my regular day to day task helpers. Not to mention is takes and stores my photos, allows me to call and text people, and gives me mobile access to my cloud files and services. It’s definitely my primary device.

But I still love my desktop and wish I had more time to do my own work on it.
