Ah - it has its own special magical file system type, that’s the secret sauce. Neat!

They’re in alignment with a sense of pride and accomplishment, I guess?

Yeah - we’ve been saying that for fucking YEARS. 😐

I mean… I’ll be the one to say it: he’s not gonna know.

Do what you want and need to in order to maintain your sanity. Placate him with a white lie - and it is a white lie - to make him feel better, if you want to. But maintaining your boundaries and avoiding people you find utterly caustic isn’t “childish”. In fact, I’d call it a consummately adult behavior.

McConnell made the following comment upon his release:

If the metric is stupid and the metric is also tied to comp, there should be absolutely zero surprise when everyone starts gaming the metric.

Well, neither the FCC nor Congress nor any courts seem to care, so…

Oh, most definitely.

Several months back I was kinda pulling my hair out over the frustrating state that Apache Airflow was in, because (due to my company’s infosec, SQA, and regulatory policies) I found some delightful mutually-exclusive transitive dependencies when I tried to diverge (with version upgrades to get past CVE-marked releases) the constraints from the officially-packaged constraints.txt. Though, that’s packages, not actual lang level.

Were you around for the 2 -> 3 migration? Now THAT was a categorical shitshow.

Ok that’s actually an excellent point that I hadn’t accounted for lol

I know why we ended up where we are. I know the history because I was there: with the Lua/LuaJIT schism, people wanted to support both environments, and targeting 5.1 was a good way to support both. And then 5.2, 5.3, etc. came along and people wanted to keep supporting the latest PUC-Rio Lua, but still felt tied to the 5.1 anchor. I’m sure I’m partly to blame for this because I engaged in this and helped others, by maintaining compat-5.3, itself an evolution of compat-5.2, with a history tracing all the way back to compat-5.0, which predates my involvement with Lua… and then we’re talking over 20 years ago.

So I haven’t worked with Lua myself, but is that right? There are forward-incompatibilities in minor versions…? Because that honestly seems pretty fucking stupid. Making basically every version include breaking changes and refusing to follow semantic versioning standards that are designed to essentially account for that is pants-on-head stupid.

Jesus I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry 🙃

If it’s become a systemic problem, calling the officers “rogue” is an exercise in gaslighting.

From a comment on one of her older threads, I believe her dad is Swiss; that would rule out phony stark

Right? I remember vista, and good god was it bad. In fact, I was finishing college and looking for a job back around when W7 was coming out, and I remember specifically asking the interview what had happened with the quality on Vista compared to XP. Turns out the outsourced ALL of their SQA from Redmond to contractors in India. Nowadays, they don’t even have that excuse - it’s dogshit by design these days.

Microsoft legit single-handedly bringing about the Year of Linux with how they’re turning W11 into categorical dogshit lmfao 🤣

Well that’s easy to solve. Turn on phone camera as you walk up to it, look around and capture the surroundings, and then pick it up. There’s your evidence. The case would be thrown out.
