Yeah but "half of our codebase is classic ASP and hasn't been updated since 2005" isn't really a valuable secret, is it?

Wikipedia says it’s a word for people of mixed white and Asian descent.

What is wasian?

Doesn't work on us lemmings. We're all sexy as fuck.

Yes, I own one RTX 5080

Because of course you can.

I will say, in the world where you can't do anything with "con:" or "prn:" or a few others in DOS, the fact that you CAN force Linux to let you completely and utterly fuck yourself if you truly want to....... is great. lol

First of all, it pleases me greatly that you appreciated the palindromic nature of it. That pleased me as I wrote it (you know how you can write something and realize that it's unintentionally great? lol)

Second of all, it pleases me that you tried it. lol. I was originally a DOS/Windows guy, so while I know a tiny bit of the Deep Magic, it's safe to say I'm a fairly average user on the Linux side of things, though I do love learning.

How brilliant. Just like with rm / -rf protection that you can override, but must override... I had actually assumed (without thought) that sudo and apt were built-in commands like dir and cd in DOS, so there wouldn't be anything to remove. But makes sense that everything is a package.

Today, thanks to you, I learned the most delightful thing. Thank you. <3

Oh no we ve got Sam Altman on lemmy dot machine learning

This sort of woman overrides "know better".

I would risk it ALL.

Oh crap even my Atari 400 is done for! Yes, I mail in my responses here.

quick, pull out your RAM and send it to me for diagnostics

my carcass has long been picked clean but I thought" hey maybe the old man still can find surprises those whippersnappers haven't yet.".... thinking "ohh lemmy stumbled upon something! beans!" (I think you have to say this when you reference lemmy now)

I see what you did there and I admire the subtlety.

u shouldn't play the achiever game with your team, it's an exploitation tactic and it consumes every fiber of your being

Which end of the wand do I blow through to make it do the magic?

In the early days, mages were less powerful because there was less power in the Aether. Their most powerful spells could only destroy small houses. Plenty of small houses were destroyed as these mages learned their skills, but it was mostly their own houses, and they learned from their mistakes. Over time, these mages not only became more skilled at their craft, they also improved the power all mages had to draw on, weaving isolated pockets of Aether together into one large Aether-net.

Through this, the mages were able to accomplish much, much more. But it meant that new mages could draw on power far greater than a new mage knows how to control.

99% of the time it's fine, because 99% of the time the person who wrote the Makefile undertands Makefiles and knows that the first thing you do is define a default target. A default target that's chosen reasonably is a very nice feature of make because there are no standard names for targets, and no easy way to find out the names of targets other than trying to read the Makefile, which can be a pain in the ass.

casts summon bigger mage

there's always a bigger sun

Maybe he's pulling a Lou Pai lol, would very much doubt it's as simple as a honey trap tbh. (AI summary about Pai, the once CEO of ENRON):

• Pai had an extramarital affair with Melanie Fewell, a dancer at a Houston strip club whom he regularly visited, resulting in a pregnancy. His wife of over 20 years, Lanna Lee, filed for divorce.

• The $250M+ Stock Cash-Out: To satisfy the massive financial settlement of the divorce, Pai liquidated roughly $250 million to $270 million worth of his Enron stock and options in 2001—just months before the company's fraudulent accounting collapsed and it filed for bankruptcy.

• Avoiding Criminal Charges: Because his stock sales were tied to a court-mandated divorce settlement, he managed to dodge the severe criminal prosecution and prison time faced by other Enron executives like Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling. He later settled with the SEC in 2008 for $31.5 million without admitting guilt.

• Aftermath: He married Melanie Fewell, briefly became Colorado's second-largest landowner after buying a massive ranch, and later moved into private equity and renewable energy ventures.

The fact that we think this is possible is a really good argument for slowing down and regulating tech. Like, this might happen tomorrow. We don't fucking know.

that's why the sun is always exploding

Why can't that be your "I'll wear what I want, fuck you very much" outfit?

Are you a major Nvidia shareholder?

Must be nice

Ah, those damn somatic components.
