I got SWAT'ed and handcuffed live while Linux development streaming!
  • I like to use asterisk spacing.

    void main() {
    /****/for (int i=0; i <10; ++I) {
    /********/printf("hello world\n");
    /********/printf("%d\n", i);
    /****/}
    }

    ‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats
  • Eating a dog or cat you have bred yourself would make PETA angry. Eating a beloved family pet of a true blooded hard working American would make a lot more people angry.

    Haitian immigrants helped revive a struggling Ohio town. Then neo-Nazis turned up
  • members of the group pointed guns at cars and told people to “go the fuck back to Africa”

    Wow, way to highlight that you are a completely ignorant douchebag

    Various distros across different families freezing when doing package manager updates
  • I had a similar problem with hard lockups especially when doing package updates (Arch). After seeing a report on Gaming on Linux about the Nvidia 550 driver (I think it was that one) causing freezes, I uninstalled it and just ran on the intel igpu. Never had a single freeze again. Waited for 555 driver, installed that, and immediately got lockups during package updates (and randomly sometimes) again. I've now installed the nvidia-open package to see if it fixes it, and so far so good.

    The master race condition
  • The other day I used the JetBrains AI to write some boilerplate code for me. The JetBrains AI code analyser then kicked in to tell me how poorly written the code was.

    I just love pain
  • As a non European working for a European company, it is an interesting experience with non work times. The laws around working more than 8 hours a day are incredibly strict, and the company and all the managers will never ask or expect an employee to work more than the 8 hours. Even if you are on call and end up having to work, you have to then take time off during the week to "make up" for the time you worked while on call.

    Yet I'll be on call over a weekend trying to fix a problem at 2am, and my colleagues who aren't on call just drop in to help because they saw the alert and felt like helping out.

    It is like people want to actually positively contribute to the well being of the company when they are able to, because the company doesn't try to drain every bit of will to live from their employees and respects that they are real people with lives.

    Surge in Wendy's complaints exposes limits to consumer tolerance of unstable prices
  • It is all true in the Country I live in. And the other Countries I have visited.

    I guess not all Countries are the same, and forget that people in the US think everyone else is also from the US.

    Surge in Wendy's complaints exposes limits to consumer tolerance of unstable prices
  • Depends on where you live I guess. In my country (not USA), no matter where you go all franchises of major chain restaurants have exactly the same prices. Having worked adjacent to the fast food industry in my country and dealing with the brand owners, price and consistency is very important, not only for their customer satisfaction, but also it made the marketing material easier.

    Ironically, when I worked in this industry, part of the appeal of the company that I worked for is we allowed dynamic pricing exactly like what Wendy's is proposing. The brand owners rejected the idea because marketing felt it would confuse customers, and technical didn't want to do it because consolidating the incoming data and and standardising the POS data across franchises was a nightmare.

    Surge in Wendy's complaints exposes limits to consumer tolerance of unstable prices
  • The whole idea of a franchise is so people can get the same menu at the same quality at the same price no matter where they are. Having dynamic pricing means you can't even be assured of the price at a single location, let alone being in a new city with an unfamiliar restaurant.

    If you don't know what you are going to be able to buy with your $5, then might as well go to someplace different.
