Define “important” in this context.

Unless you have pockets with zippers, fanny packs are great for riding roller coasters if you’re only carrying a fanny pack’s worth of things. Especially one that can sit unnoticed under your shirt, since staff will sometimes make you take it off if it’s obvious.

They might have set up the user agreement for it. Stackexchange did and their whole business model was about catching businesses where some worker copy/pasted code from a stackexchange answer and getting a settlement out of it.

I agree with you in principle (hell, I’d even take it further and think only trademarks should be protected, other than maybe a short period for copyright and patent protection, like a few years), but the legal system might disagree.

Edit: I’d also make trademarks non-transferrable and apply to individuals rather than corporations, so they can go back to representing quality rather than business decisions. Especially when some new entity that never had any relation to the original trademark user just throws some money at them or their estate to buy the trust associated with the trademark.

Step 3. Think of riddles that can’t be solved with a hammer.

Wait, so Dutch is the language of people and everyone else has been using animal languages this whole time!?

Also umlauts.

Which might seem confusing but I wish English used accents/umlauts to show pronounciation because that would do a lot to unfuck the spelling of this powerful but bastard of a language.

Though what you could do is place small turbines in your piping so that any time you use your water for normal uses, it would generate some electricity at the cost of a loss of pressure once it passes through. Though it would be more efficient to just turn down the pumps generating that pressure to the new pressure setting and using the electricity saved there (if you are the one running the pump, water included in rent would transfer some energy to you but lose some overall).

Anything Mr. Bean.

Or what?

Or that you’ll ever get paid if you do win.

Iirc you can create custom syntax highlighting formats for notepad++. So if it’s not there by default, someone else might have made a file for it, or you can start making one yourself, as the format was easy to understand. It’s been like a decade since I’ve used it, but it should be somewhere in the menus.

Japanese?

Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?

They might be ragdoll type cats, named that way because they tend to flop and relax when picked up instead of trying to regain control or aceept it but hate it like other cats.

Yeah, I have a curiosity about how things work and it has allowed me to acquire a broad set of skills, including the skill of learning skills. Kinda lucky living in the internet age where so many things are much easier to learn than they would otherwise be.

I think a part of it is that when I learn something, I want to really understand it. It makes me not so great as a teacher, because I end up going into way too much detail (because those are what helped me learn), but it gives a deeper understanding that allows me to improvise on what I can do.

It also has shown me the value of people who understand how multiple specialties can fit together, especially when I go in only knowing one and can experience the shift from “why do they want this thing that way? What a silly requirement.” to “oh, ok, that makes sense, you need that to do another important thing I didn’t even realize was necessary”. And the best is when, now that I have some understanding of both sides, I can see a better solution that accomplishes both goals and makes everyone happy.

Actually, it’s the best for a little bit, until it’s time to present the idea to multiple teams working together, because if it’s a change, a lot of people aren’t interested, they just see the work to implement the change and not all of the other work that becomes easier or unnecessary after that’s done, so it can be frustrating.

Lock down their accounts so they can’t even install shit.

Was it multiple monitors or multiple systems? Can’t see if there’s another keyboard and mouse there in front of the one behind him. Though I suppose it was all supposed to be mainframe terminals (running Linux in the movie, which I’m not sure had a mainframe version, as I understand, it started as a Unix for desktops, where Unix was the mainframe OS).

Edit: the Linux thing was my own bad memory, Lex recognizes Unix, which is weird because it was an experimental unix filesystem browser UI and most kids wouldn’t have access to machines that run any kind of unix, so it wouldn’t have been a “I played with some computers in my garage” kind of thing. Though being Hammond’s grandkids, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that she did have access to a mainframe either through Hammond’s companies or from access to universities and the like.

Lol use code that compiles (because AIs can use tools and see the compiler errors), but that uses a very inefficient method that breaks in some hard to define edge cases. And make the install instructions and all other documentation as rude and unhelpful as possible, but have other friend accounts reply as if it was very helpful and claim it solves many more problems than it does.

Edit: improved wording

Wow, that “new” (or maybe poorly reported would be better) info turns the whole story around. Protographer is a bit of a piece of shit for fighting it so much for what now seems to amount to a brag about either knowing which house was hers or that she lived there.

I wish there were consequences for those who misrepresent stories like this so much. Same with the mcdonald’s dangerously hot coffee lawsuit (though at least that one seems like the truth is more prevalent than the pro-mcdonald’s spin that used to be the popular story).

Oh yeah, the bit where SSDs move sectors around for wear evening is important. Because of that, it’s possible to completely fill up an SSD after deleting files and still have those files recoverable from the flash chips themselves. Without that secure erase, as I understand it, if a sector gets marked “bad”, whatever data is there might stay there forever (or at least as long as the cells hold a charge).

So there’s no benefit to writing multiple passes over deleted data on SSDs as far as the flash is concerned, but multiple passes might make it more likely for the controler to actually direct those extra writes to a sector actually storing the data (though the odds might be low unless you’re overwriting all free space, though even that depends on how much space is free vs how many “spare” sectors there are, and even then it might be impossible to get it to write to a sector marked “bad”).
