Exactly. It's not like playing with your child thing, just being stupid with friends thing.

It's not for your kids. It's for making jokes with your friends after a few beers.

They don't, that's the fun part. You have to make it up like there's some older woman in a flower hat, she definitely has cats, there's some other guy with a pointy face and glasses, he has atleast one cat probably is black and sits in his lap as he reads a book each night.

Bonus : you have to justify why you put down each person.

Actual fun way to play guess who. You can't ask any questions about their physical appearance, only ask about guesses about them.

"do they have grandkids?"

"do they have a full time job?"

"do they regularly see a therapist?"

It's hectic and chaotic but way more fun than "do they have glasses?"

Anyone questioning how to make it 100k lines... Easy

#include "win32.h"

[–] vrek@programming.dev 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The value of most programmers is not loc. It's knowing the right lines to type. It's knowing which lines to eliminate. It's knowing how to set up your program so it's as short as possible while having all requested features. I can give you basic calculator in maybe 100 lines. I can give you same calculator on 100k lines. Which is the better program? Which do you think is more maintanable? Which do you think is faster?

Never seen him before but that was very interesting

Wait hes only using 2 pieces, where's the end table?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 22 hours ago

I always quit early when I'm clothes shoppi

Plus the spacing between that and the line below it really bothers me

Sometimes I see his excitement. Like when I grab his leash. The funny thing is he is smart enough to know he needs a leash. One time he pooped, I bent down to pick it like a good pet owner, a car drove by and he pulled causing me to fall and drop his leash. He then ignored car, picked leash with his mouth, and brought it to me as I'm laying on the ground. The car stopped and asked if I was alright and they saw what happened. I slowly got up and and said I was fine, sore for a few days but I recovered.

I asked him if he wanted to post there and he said was bark and jumped at me... I think that's a yes

 

What I mean is everyone wants both. And I'm not talking huge differences. I don't mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).

Another thing I've seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.

So you want a 2k-6k raise... If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?

Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?

 

Unrelated to topic but I was in hospital recently and nurses came around to do vital,blood pressure oxygen temperature.i was having a high blood pressure. Often I lay with crossed legs but a nurse told me to uncross my legs and blood pressure went down. Why why cross legs increase blood pressure ?

 

Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like "hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor"

I can't imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

Running Debian sid and it mostly works (still struggling with Nvidia drivers for video). Last night I was watching a video and everything was fine, sound worked. Son was in room "asleep". I left to use bathroom and then he came looking for me. I don't know what happened while I was in bathroom but now I hear nothing out of speakers. If I reboot into windows sound works so it's not a physical issue. Reboot back into Linux no sound. Boot off flash drive Linux, no sound but I think that was always true and was a alsamixer issue on flash drive Linux setups. Volume on YouTube turned to 100, verified not muted, volume in KDE at 100 and not muted. Physical volume on speakers at 100, volume knob on keyboard at 100 and mute not engaged. All volume sliders in alsamixer maxed out. Simple setup, 2.1 speaker system plugged into sound output on motherboard no mixer or fancy equipment.

Son is non-verbal and severally autistic so I can't ask him. Whatever happened was almost definitely an accident but I can't figure out what happened. I see like a lighter bar moving on the KDE volume slider which seems to match expected video audio so I believe KDE is receiving the signal to play sound but nothing comes out of speakers. He struggles to feed himself soup or cereal so it's not like he found some super secret command and is playing joke. Something seems to be accidently hit and is blocking sound... Maybe a mute hot key not synced to main audio controls so it's not obvious that it's active???

Edit... This is solved. KDE mixer and alsamixer made no change but changing the output in pavucontrol fixed it. I have no idea why or how. Thanks for everyone who recommended it.

 

Those companies were all found to be pyramid schemes!

 

Well first someone would need to put a bank inside a whale...

 

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

 

I don't expect much but I found an old pi I bought probably 2016(may of been 2017). It was supposed to be a pi-hole but was never able to get the dns forwarding to work on my modem. It still works but wanted to somehow convert it to a regular distro(it's based on a micro-SD and I don't have any more microsd readers). I wanted to set it up as a basic system I could ssh into a terminal. Not expecting anything fancy or even graphic based. A lot of stuff I want to learn/practice "work" on windows but are native to Linux, like vim/neovim nmap gcc etc. Is this feasible? Am I under estimating what's possible with it?

I thought of this after a recent bug I found. I use Vivaldi browser and recently it updated. After the update my mouse cursor was not visible when within the browser window. Other programs worked fine. I tried visual studio and steam and epic game store all had my mouse, Vivaldi didn't.

I closed all instances of Vivaldi via task nanager(was unable to click the x) and restarted it. That fixed the bug and I haven't been able to replicate so I don't have anything to submit for a bug report. Just a really strange thing.

What have been your weirdest bugs?
