I first tried vi in the early 90s, before I had easy access to online resources. I had to open a new shell and kill the vi process to exit it. Next time I dialed into my usual BBS I asked how to exit that thing. But since then I’ve liked it, because vi has been on every system I ever ssh’ed into.

Docker is a set of tools, that make it easier to work with some features of the Linux kernel. These kernel features allow several degrees of separating different processes from each other. For example, by default each Docker container you run will see its own file system, unable to interact (read: mess) with the original file system on the host or other Docker container. Each Docker container is in the end a single executable with all its dependencies bundled in an archive file, plus some Docker-related metadata.

Like laws mean anything anymore.

530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There’s almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven’t been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don’t even want to know.

There’s also a programming language named after him: https://dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

Yes, exactly.

I do enjoy the new assistant in JetBrains tools, the one that runs locally. It truly helps with the trite shit 90% of the time. Every time I tried code gen AI for larger parts, it’s been unusable.

Violence is always the solution. If there’s an example for major changes implemented without at least an implicit threat of violence, that’s the absolute exception. All big changes always require (the threat of) violence.

I was in the same boat. Years at Contabo, until they became dogshit and then moved to Netcup. No problems with them so far.

Exactly. It also means you’re being sued by the copyright holder and not the state. You won’t go to prison for this shit, as opposed to actual theft.

Hall effect sensors are crazy expensive. Sony has controllers with them and they’re more than twice as expensive as the normal ones. It’s very unlikely that Sony would set this insane price without a good reason.

I hear C++ was greatly inspired by the fifth circle of hell.

Just like their prices, Nintendo will never change.

Not with that attitude.

The Samsung shop hands out 1.4mb JSON responses for order tracking, with what I estimate 99% redundant information that is repeated many times in different parts of the structure.

I run an Android TV box on my Smart TV, because I don’t trust them on the internet.

Oh, then I need to give it another try.

Yeah. I have a mini PC with an AMD GPU. Even if I were to buy a big GPU I couldn’t use it. That frustrates me, because I’d love to play around with some models locally. I refuse to use anything hosted by other people.

Does everything have to apply 1:1 to your own life for you to be able to take something useful from somebody else’s story?

I learned that we should not tolerate intolerance!
