I fail to see the benefit of that script.

First do it, then do it right, then do it better. Get the ugly prototype in front of users.

I tend to agree with that one. I’ve heard it phrased “Don’t ask users what they want. They don’t know. Just give them something to work off of, because they most definitely know what they don’t want”.

But there’s a catch that I’ve seen twice now: If a feature doesn’t work correctly when you present it, users lose trust and avoid it. That could mean they use the ‘long way around’ when creating entities instead of just copy/pasting them, or that they unnecessarily refresh web pages instead of trusting the state that’s displayed to them.

Even when you tell them that their behaviour is … not optimal, they stick to it.

What “‘real costs’ in running GitHub Actions” are these dipshits even talking about? All they need to do is send a message to my runner. All the rest happens on my machine. Is the “real cost” pulling the latest changes?

Ah! You’re moving goalposts! The meme is about choosing an OS at boot time, not up, down, up again.

You’re missing the point of the meme. It definitely is about accidentally booting Windows, rebooting and then booting Linux.

Is it Windows 98?

Jokes aside: You have to count the time from starting to boot Windows to restarting it, letting the computer do its pre-boot whatver-it-does-es, to back to grub.

And I find a minute a long wait.

Yeah, If I don’t catch the train, I also just uninstall the rails and hope for the best.

No, I needed the advanced boot options and fat-fingered.

I feel like it would be more appropriate is regular running wore button and running as administrator was a dude casually strolling down the pavement in sweat pants.

I don’t know if you’re sarcastic or don’t know, and either way it doesn’t matter. Here’s the README from the first commit in git:

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. 
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

To be honest, I’ve been using GIMP for more than 10 years before I learned of the slur.

Similarly, git.

My company dabbles in AI. A hardly abridged conversation with a bot I’ve read recently:

Hallo, Ich bin ein Bot. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(Hi, I’m a bot. How can I help you?)

Speak English, please.

Gerne antworte ich in Englisch. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(I’m happy to speak English. How may I help you?)

Caller disconnected

Yep, AI definitely is the future.

If you’re iterating over a whole array and need the index, like in ll.15f., you can instead write

particles.forEach((particle, i) => {
  // loop body
})

There may be a performance hit (I haven’t tested it) because you’re invoking a function on each iteration. And it’s mostly a stylistic choice.

Is “syntax” a bad word now? Don’t dumb things down for students, elevate the students!

try a new distro if you’re having that many problems with Mint

I’ve had problems across all the “beginner” distros: Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro. The biggest reason why I tried so many is because two out of three always had issues out of the box. When the time came when the LTS died, it was a different set with problems.
