Hahahaha, this is almost what happened to my daughter 2 years ago.

Neighbor is Vi, wife is Filipina. I don’t know why the viet neighbor family don’t celebrate Halloween, they are catholics (don’t know how many viet are) and their youngest kid is a teenager. But that is their business, so I don’t put my nose down that rabbit hole. Daughter then 3, rings their door bell for trick or treat. She insisted, in ringing their doorbell, it’s the only house she insisted rining, why? Because we told her trick or treating is going out to scare the neighbors. And the word neighbor is mostly used to our next door Viet neighbors, because our doors are so close.

Anyway, daughter ring the door bell. They don’t have anything ready, the mother goes and gets a pack of instant noodles for my daughter. This made my daughter so happy, all the candy she got was secondary to this pack of instant noodles. The memory of these noodles outlived the memory of any candy she got both two years ago and last year. She rang the door bell again this year but they didn’t open, she now 5, was mildly sad that she didn’t get another pack of noodles.

Your wife still thinks you’re gay?

I don’t know how to windows, but in Linux I just disable the power button on my laptop. Long press still works, this was to avoid accidentally putting the laptop to sleep when accidentally pressing the power button

Wait, so you are saying that being open source and having a default search engine is the same as being both proprietary and being owned by a Chinese owner?

Partner integration? You mean a partner of them pays them to be allowed to look at your browsing habits?

Did opera leave Norway? Is this stuff worse after that, if they left? What country did they go to?

The consequences is that the laptop battery percentage will not be accurate

Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

Arm owner softbank wants more mulah, want line goes up.

Qualcomm thinks this is not allowed in their license contract.

Without having read the contract, I think Qualcomm has a strong case, seams arm wants this to be settled before court in December. Qualcomm also thinks they have a strong case, so they say let the courts begin.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s an American court, because Qualcomm is American, softbank is Asian, arm is European. So, you have home turf advantage

Maybe you could try selling them some viagra

Yes, unless you are Coolio or prince

Weird al ruins songs for me, I just forget the original lyrics, and now weird als lyrics is the only thing I can think of when I hear the song

I don’t get this point of view, maybe I should because it sounds logical. But again sometimes I want to listen to harpsichords in E by Bach. And sometimes I want to listen to hallowed be thy name from iron maiden, sometimes I want to listen to a nightmare to remember by dream theater, and sometimes I want to listen to wrong side of heaven by ffdp.

It’s like the same logic that I love eatimg healthy home made delicious filipino food every day of the week, by my excellent cook of a wife. And yet occasionally I get a craving for a menu at burger King with a monster energy drink.

It is as if there is redeemable factors in both

Don’t everyone have both nymphetamine fix and the power of love in the same Playlist?

Yes, thankfully, working conditions, both at my employer and in the customers office were (are) very nice, so all I can do now is laugh at the situation in hindsight.

In fact the worst part of working on this was that there were no deadlines, which makes every thing much harder with suspected adhd. Basically when things were working, and I wanted to make this better, I got new things to work on. But that is basically the customers perogative. I also like to pay for what I want and no more

I’ll consede that his point in using docker was to avoid the “it works on my computer” problem. It was literally one of his talking points in his handover meeting. But that is not the problem docker is trying to solve, and not it’s strength.

Docker and similar container software makes many things very convenient, and has uses far outside it’s originally intended usage.

And in this situation, when want stable package versions, and simpler uniform setup. And you don’t have stable package versions because docker doesn’t provide reproducible builds (and he didn’t do the work work srojdn that), and it is not a simpler setup when you want to use the hosts ssh agent with ssh inside docker, which require different steps for different distros, Mac and Idk if windows would have worked? And sharing your ssh agent into the docker image is not stable either even if you set it up, it isn’t sure to work the next reboot. And can be every difficult in some Linux distros due to permissions, etc.

Then I ended up putting it on a vm, that is already used for utilities. If I were to do it today, I would probsbly use nix, to actually run these programs that is very sensitive to program version changes in a stable reproducible environment that can run on any Linux distro, including in docker

But the program had many more issues, like editing yaml files by catting them and piping them into tac and piping into sed and then into tac again… And before you say you could do that just with one sed command, sure, but the sane solution is to use yq. Let’s just say that was the tip of the iceberg

Oh and just have to note, claimed working features, but no way for that code the be executed, and when I actually tried to hook up this code, I can’t believe its ever fully worked.

Okay, I’ll tell you, in this situation, the code never really worked outside of the demo stage. It was written in bash+ansibel+terraform+puppet designed to use ssh from a docker container and run stages of the code on different servers. And some of it supposedly worked on his computer, but when it failed to run when he was not clicking the buttons, and I read through each part, I can promise you that it never worked

I didn’t write broken code base because I didn’t like the code, I meant that it didn’t work

Like the classic, inherit a broken code base, and not being allowed by the owner to rewrite it from scratch. So you have to spend more time making each part work without the others working. Also before you are finished the customer says they have something else for you to do

AFAIK currently, they just add black video into the YouTube video, and play an ad separately from the main video stream. That’s what I’ve heard about people with working ad block who got this, there was just black video added to their YouTube video

Ladybird is working really hard to become good enough for daily drive. Will they succeed? Idk. How long will it take? Idk.

That would not give more power to those who take and take and take
