I don’t know who is password, or why is password, or when is password, but I do know where is password, and it’s out there!

Jesus, Buddah, Spongebob! I don’t have time to be picky!

“Asterix” being some spin on the latin word for “star”, aster.

I found that I do my morning exercise way more reliably than my afterwork exercise. I try to get 30 minutes in each session.

The biggest game changer, however, was not working 8 hours a day anymore. It also helps to have a boss who’s fine with delays, so you can extend the morning session if you feel like it.

I think I would’ve no—

Oh my!

I don’t see the commitment length? That info bubble is just an explanation of what they mean by “commitment”.

It even says so at the end of the bubble. What’s your point?

At least these ancient versions won’t try to update in the middle of a sea fight.

In this case the developer hasn’t designed this with the user in mind. Their rock is clearly too small for the user to sit on comfortably. Therefore it’s the dev’s fault.

TIL that the Higgs itself has mass.

Yeah, I thought that, too. But to be fair, I can’t think of any missing feature.

If you have htop installed, run it in a terminal and click, for instance, the column headers.

That was it! Thank you.

“This isn’t a bazaar. We don’t haggle over deadlines. We professionally estimate them.”

So what? If you weren’t consulted when the deadline was set, it’s not your problem. Have some balls and rip your bosses a new one when they pull bullshit like this. “That deadline was unattainable when it was set. Had our team been consulted, we could’ve worked on a solution. But since sales went over our heads, this is their mess to clean up.”

Can a file really be split efficiently? And is reading from multiple files on the same disk really faster than scanning a single file from top to bottom?

Riemann-Roch’scher Satz: der letzte Schrei: das Diagramm

[the chart and doodles]

ist kommutatif! [sic]

Um dieser Aussage über f: X→Y einen approximativen Sinn zu geben, musste ich nahezu zwei Stunden lang die Geduld der Zuhörer missbrauchen. Schwartz [sic] auf weiss [sic] (in Srpinger’s Lecture Notes) nimmt’s wohl an die 400, 500 Seiten.

Ein packendes Beispiel dafür, wie unser Wissens- und Entdeckungsdrang sich immer mehr in einem lebensentrückten logischen Delirium auslebt, während das Leben selbst auf tausendfache [not sure about that] Art zum Teufel geht – und mit endgültiger Vernichtung bedroht ist. Höchste Zeit, unsern Kurs zu ändern!

I’m not sure if I can do the German idioms justice in English, but here’s an attempt at translating it:

Hell’s kitchen 1971

Riemann-Roch’s Theorem: the latest in-thing: The diagram

[the chart and doodles]

is commutative! In order to give any meaning to that statement about f: X→Y I had to abuse the audience’s patience for two hours. In written form (in Springer’s lecture notes) it takes about 400–500 pages.

A stunning example how our curiosity has taken to enjoying itself in a logical delirium, disconnected from reality [literally: life], while life itself is going to hell a thousand times over – and is on the brink of its final annihilation. It’s about time we changed course!

Well, Safari is the only browser not to support the new Temporal API.

The new Temporal library in JavaScript is quite good.

Sadly, Safari fucks us yet again.

Fuck, yesss!
