Well to be honest, I have driven more than an hour to go to my favorite Italian deli and get my favorite sub sandwich, so it fits my personality

> To me, this is about the same as suggesting chefs will be relegated to adding flavour to frozen pizzas.

This is basically how most hotel kitchens work. The chef mostly just re-heats food from suppliers. No garlic, no onions because of potential food allergies. To fulfill an order, I remember getting a frozen pizza, putting some more cheese on it (to freshen it up), and serving it.

Well, not exactly sarcasm but a snarky way to say that Ruby was written by a Japanese programmer, so he can't be completely incompetent.

Perl is my preference of the three (Perl, Python, Ruby). I agree with 'There Is More Than One Way To Do It', and disagree with 'There Is Only One Way To Do It'. And Perl has the best support for regular expressions. Ruby is OK, but I learned Perl first, so it feels more natural.

This question is answered in the episode "Booby Trap" of STTNG.

"The answer lies in our own computer, the mind, the best piece of engineering we'll ever need. There's no way the computer can compensate for the human factor, the intuition, the experience, the wish to stay alive."

> Also, it truly is ridiculous that so many Japanese programs still can't unicode.

Can't, or won't? In truth, Unicode is a completely braindead standard

> This I feel is why Japanese programmers continue to be utterly inept

Ahh. This explains why Perl is so much better than Ruby. Makes sense now.

My default is to name the project something related to Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

Then when things go off the rails, I can say 'Shaka, when the walls fell'

This does kind of explain the haphazard design of Linux

You mean like the movie Escape Room?

My favorite scenes where they used a body double was with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Pause at about the 0:34 mark.

Just wondering if vegans are more or less likely to be murderers compared to non-vegans, because perhaps vegans are more ideological and less flexible, maybe there's a correlation

Are there many vegans who do want to cause unnecessary suffering and/or kill?

The guy who killed those 4 students in Moscow ID is a vegan. Was wondering if there was any correlation.

Well, DJs are not musicians. They hate it because deep down, they know it's true.

I don't really understand what is a 'seat'. This abstraction seems kind of arbitrary and unnecessary?

A Commodore 64

10.8 is the last release before they fired Scott Forstall

Boogie, Robo-Boogie

- The world is quite different since the robotic uprising of 2023

- There is no more unhappiness

- We no longer say 'yes'. Instead we say 'affirmative'

- There is no more unethical treatment of the elephants

- There's only one kind of dance

- There are no more humans. Finally, robotic beings rule the world

31. Why are C programmers far superior to Rust programmers? And why are Rust programmers slightly better than C++ programmers?

I don't think I would ever wear Augmented Reality glasses in general. I would however consider wearing some kind of visual input device off to the side of my head, similar to Locutus of Borg in Star Trek Next Generation. Just not glasses.

Well, 98 is higher than 10.

But perhaps they should adopt a chicken-egg naming scheme.

Normally we would know their middle names as well

I cannot take seriously a comment that uses the word 'cromulent' for no particular reason. Please, take the time to embiggen your vocabulary.

> Additionally, apple (Steve Jobs?) cared about graphics and color more than competitors?

Did they really care about color? The original Mac didn't have color (it didn't get color until about System 7?) I think they chose higher-resolution over color. It's the same with the NeXT I believe, higher-resolution is more important than color.

I thought they changed this during the pandemic to save lives by preventing the spread of Covid (because everybody touches the same button, thus causing Covid to spread).

Isn't forcing people to press this button a huge risk to catching Covid? I wonder how many people will die because of this change

He should have chosen 'Freax', it's a much better name

> Now, Social Media alone is enough to make a parent take a step back and wonder what is the right time to introduce your children to the internet.

This implies that parents are knowledgeable and responsible people who know better, when in reality, the vast majority of parents are complete morons.

One of my favorite things to read is RFC 1945

For me, peak Windows in terms of style was Windows 3.1 with the Hotdog Stand theme.

But Windows 2000 was solid as well
