Ratbert : WE MUST IDENTIFY AND ELIMINATE THE DEVIANT USERS OF MACINTOSH, UNIX AND... GOD HELP US. OS/2 WARP
This just pops into my head every time I hear / see OS/2 Warp.
The madri excepcional image, showing a guy who looks like krieger
Krieger from archer riding a rocket
I can't be the only one that sees it
I'm sadly aware that the "modern" definition means "take out 90%", because a bunch of illiterate twunts use it incorrectly, frequently enough.
I'm also aware that language evolves.
But revert will never mean reply.
And decimato will always mean destruction of 10%.
Hill worth dying on. :)
One day. One day, people will learn that the word "decimated" means "10% gone".
Obviously, not The Don, but I hold out hope.
I feel for the kids, they will never know the joy of a proper dot matrix.
I can still hear my DMP-2000.
If they run away they'll have absconded.
I am hoping they had a chopin playing pianist. Banging theme tune.
A converted (and still part time live) cinema turned into a bookshop, showing rocky horror
If your bookshop doesnt have a cinema in it showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, is it even trying?
Ok, the US remake was shockingly faithful. Also US Elliot is better :) but mme Alvaro (I guess that had to be zhuzh'd to Gillroy) is growing on me!
Dvd of Haut Potential Intellectuel
Enjoying High Potential so much I can't resist trying the original.....
This skeet really got me ravin'. Quoth.
A picture of Melanie trump and a robot with the caption "first lady Melania trump arrives with humanoid robot at tech summit"
The jokes write themselves.
This, this is the moment the retro collectors have been waiting for. Now who's laughing at my fully functional 16k ram pack!!! Muahahaha
I can't wait for the sports edition - Christ on a Bike
a DLSS 5 OFF / ON meme with two identical sticks of computer ram on each side, one labeled $99 and the other labeled $700
this one hurts the most
The true Kochanski!
The red, cyan and yellow will never not immediately send me back to the late 80s.
Just happily triggered by the word "mob", and I have to shout to Days Gone for the most fun hordes.
I am sitting here in deepest darkest Sussex, strangely invested in the 9th IL primaries.
Go Kat.
A man shown exercising on a giant yoga mat
The dimensions of the mat. Its 60cm wide and 200cm long.
Got to love temu. This guy is apparently 20cm wide and about 80cm tall.
(I'm not going near record destructuring patterns yet, they're brutal!)
I just added support for pattern switches in Java to CFR. If you want to play, grab it off github.
I learned a fair bit while I was catching up with java changes, here's some pontification, if you've never looked at how these are implemented!

Not at all. I saw that Trump won the FIFA peace prize.
Likewise. For what it's worth, I'm not generating unit tests, I'm generating synthetic meaningless but language conformant code to run my OWN code over, so almost test-at-2-levels of remove.
Ppl aigen unit tests without reading them a) terrifies me and b) give me hope for years of consulting $$ :)
Founderbro energy is strong certainly.
And a lot of the "omg it's wonderful" are people selling shovels.
Mind you, it can't be dismissed out of hand. I saved myself a few hours by getting test cases generated for a personal project, but still think it's enthusiastic intern with good search stage.
Yorda!
Part of the sticker "with record turntable"
Also what an amazing extra to come with a gramophone!
Catching up with the last few years of java. Added decompilation of pattern matching and condy switches to CFR. Good weekend.
I finally found a good use case with claude. Its not bad for saving me time running (and generating) tests. I'm still a luddite though :)
