In Australia government funding is distributed to political parties based on the number of first preference votes they get as well so even if your first choice doesn’t get in, you still helped them by putting them first.

True, in those cases it might not even enter your conscience thought and just happen automatically.

One might even say it’s an ExtremelyDrawnOutMethodNamesFactoryImpl

Almost certainly

The great thing about schema-less databases is you can put any old thing in there. The bad thing is at some point you have to get it back out again.

It happens when they change something

Or just !! for the last command. Particularly helpful if you forgot to prefix it with sudo you can run sudo !!

I’ve been using Atuin on my work computer and found it to be pretty good if you want something a bit fancier than Ctrl + R

Such great products. Now we get…image generation, inpainting and a conversational AI. All technically impressive, but those older products were actually functional and solved everyday problems.

Wow that is pretty damning. I hope Google is adding all this stuff in with the replacement of Assistant but it’s Google so I guess they won’t. I replaced Assistant with Gemini a while back but I only use it for super basic stuff like setting timers so I didn’t realise it was this bad.

They did the same shit with Google Now, rolled it into Assistant but it was nowhere near as useful imo. Now we get yet another downgrade switching Assistant with Gemini.

As I like to say, there’s nobody Google hates more than the people that love and use their products.

Generation Kill. Definitely worth a watch in my view.

I think the idea is that saying snowflake as an insult implies that being unique is a bad thing.

Yeah it’s a very haunting and impactful scene in general too, I think the show did a good job of depicting it.

Unidentified Marine #1: Alpha took three artillery hits. Somebody has an idea we’re here. We’ve got four hours of daylight to make it to our next position. We’re not going to deal with these surrenders from division. Send them all back the way they came.

(Soundbite of dog barking)

Unidentified Marine #2: Roger that, sir.

(Soundbite of Marines speaking)

Unidentified Marine #3: We have orders, Nate.

(Soundbite of dog barking)

Unidentified Marine #4: Are they (beep) serious? Send them back where? Back to the (beep) death squads?

Unidentified Marine # 2: Sir, under articles 13 and 20 of the Geneva Convention, we’re obligated to take care of and protect any (beep) that surrenders to us.

Unidentified Marine #1: Division has ordered us to un-surrender these Iraqis.

Both solid choices. Looking forward to build 42

Or alternatively early worm gets the bird.

Eating shredded cheese and wood is certainly a lifestyle

For the CCP arbitrary enforcement is less a risk and more a guarantee.

Well I never thought that prayer ever made sense in the first place at least with the God I was raised to believe in. I was told God had a perfect plan which included all of us and he wasn’t willing to deviate from that plan even to spare his own son from suffering. Given that, I stopped praying because it made no sense to me, there is already a plan, the plan won’t be changed so there’s no sense asking for anything.

That was my logic as a kid at least but now I don’t pray because I no longer believe.
