I beg to differ, Liz.

do you need to stay in a tent for 5 days to get your butthole tattooed?

It's from "The Mythical Man Month" by Fred Brooks. It was published in 1975. I've seen people make the same project management mistakes that the book discussed for the last 30 years.

I think it's more like 7 decades and I thought the same. Reds-under-the-bed is still a thing!

I keep seeing you everywhere, Margot Robbie. I had no idea you were so insightful or knowledgeable about tech.

I mean, you can sum it up in a sentence. Is it really that complex?

"People with poor knowledge, experience or skill in an area tend to overestimate their ability in that area."

Is your beef that people tend to conflate lack of skill or knowledge with low intelligence, which is not what the DK effect says?

They still make DVDs?

"the more he became inside me". Oddly arousing, number one.

Yes, the rest of the world got the extra security restrictions in order to fly. I'm in Europe and we generally have better, faster rail networks than the US (and everything is closer together) so we don't fly as much as Americans.

I used to work in the US about 10 years ago, and the contrast between that and when I visited in the 1990s to go to Graceland is pretty stark. It takes forever now to get through those TSA queues and immigration. You could also smoke on the transatlantic flight in the 90s!

that nutscrape gif really takes me back. I miss the 90s when all of the internet felt like Lemmy does today

This is a great idea, subbing to some of your communities now. Thanks!

It really is like the wild west out here

These stats are insane. I don't understand how Russia can still fight effectively at this point if these are their losses.

Yes, I saw that documentary "Swordfish" about hot women hackers.

Why take any risk at all?

Indeed, it's not like it was to be the first time anyone had seen the wreck, I'd be quite happy to watch a video of it on the surface thanks.

it's really easy, I spun up my own instance in a morning. Ok, I am a sysadmin and programmer, but it really wasn't very difficult and didn't require much beyond creating a VPS and DNS entry along with basic abilities at the command line to use the ansible playbook.

... Albert Einstein.

just joking, it was Descartes.

Prey is pretty great, really enjoyed that.

been playing it via Yuzu EA builds. It runs just fine on the Deck at around 30fps, dipping to 20fps in some of the harder to render areas but it's certainly playable. I play on my gaming rig as well where it can easily keep a consistent 30fps.

I want to like vscode, and the vim bindings make me feel at home. I just don't like it though, I find it so slow for a text editor, and the intellisense seems to be very hit and miss as to whether it's going to work.

Every few months I open up vscode and give it a try, then go back to vim.
