@iiii that said there have been lawsuits of crazy shit like seed blowing onto a neighbour farm demanding payment for selling the grown result, for plants that aren't sterile it's sometimes not allowed to harvest and replant, must be rebought each time.

I think it's entirety possible they'd engineer crops to create diseases then sell the cure. There was a car that was known to explode. They chose not to recall it and to pay the lawsuits instead. Same thing.

I think if the crop thing does happen it's more likely to be an accident than intentional. Like, CEOs are often psychopaths but scientists and engineers aren't.

I will say I think GMO is a positive thing. It increases yield, increases germ resistance and makes crops tastier.

That said, there have been some insane legal cases about patented crops.

Good thing ruined by capitalism.

@donkulator whut
I hope that's the first time that question has ever been asked...

Me suddenly wondering the odds that any given sentence is unique...

I'm neither. Have been here for *checks notes* ohhh god, nearly a decade. I'm old.

Going through more stuff. They've threatened me with disciplinary action for something that was agreed. I'm going to murder someone.

I'm fully remote. If I had to work in the office I'd have punched someone's lights out this week.

I used to do motion tracking. The team I worked with was one of the smartest group I've ever worked with. One of the first bugs I found was a mistake they'd made converting between different coordinate systems. It wasn't a big thing and they made the same mistake somewhere else and it all balanced out. But as soon as I did extra stuff in between it all broke. And working it out/explaining it melted my brain, as well as theirs. Coordinate systems are hard. I added a load of unit tests (they were hardware people used to manual tests), and there were loads of simple little edge cases. We used FFTs and it's cyclical so 32 points in one direction was equivalent to 32 points in the other direction but they'd just said it was 32 points one way and 31 the other which is barely noticeable in most cases except for exactly what I was working on.

I love science mumbo jumbo

We have our offsite backup NAS mounted as a read/write device with no versioning.

We're doing backup "right".

@CoreFusionX my physics degree has a use! So much Greek...

@antigermgerm the "Russian" alphabet is the Cyrillic, I was matching the knowledge level demonstrated by OP

Is there any goddamn logic in the English alphabet? Several letters make the same sound C/K (check) U/W (vow, vouch).

Or just accept they developed from scratches in clay. And whatever works.

Personal preference, don't pin, fix stuff when it breaks (or pin until it's fixed). Releases/deployment should record the exact version they were deployed with (eg build a docker container). Then other people complain I play fast and loose and want more exact pinning. Then we fall multiple major releases behind and run a version with known security issues (yes that's my current job).

@antigermgerm alas, my boss does have time to micromanage me and if anything it leads to stupid mistakes...

@jestdotty the balance of power. If it's a show with positive gay representation, jokes about them are fine but not every joke and the joke shouldn't be *that* they're gay.

@retoor I think on that basis I'd rather just write it myself.

Wait what do you mean you've refactored 80% of the code? As in the AI refactored your code or you refactored 80% of its code? Cuz they are two very different things

Some nerds installed one years ago. Me, I'm a nerd.

@D-4got10-01 I think art should be contextualised in hindsight. That said you don't have to go back that far for homophobia to be widely considered acceptable in media. And not much further back from that for sexism. Like 2010 for homophobia? 1990 for sexism? That's really recent. Like, that's tv reruns of obscure TV now.

I like garbage. They're a good band.

@sidthepajfuk my mother's dead. That how you like them?

Let's be honest. Your weiner is fun size. Bit smaller than your pinky.

GoTo404? TermiNUL? Anyway I'm done

@Demolishun yeah their faq even suggests using a name that contains the name lua (if your language is a variant of lua) https://www.lua.org/faq.html#1.7

LuaNatic? Stop?

ScriptyMcScriptFace?

Familiar is easier. So for most people if they have a choice between two comparable brands they'll choose the one they've heard of before, even if they may not consciously remember it. They may even rationalise their choice to it being of higher quality, because we assign positive traits to people and things we like. Similar to Eg salary correlates with height in men because it makes you more attractive.

@Demolishun I turn it off too, but I've got like 5 windows devices I use with varying levels of frequency

What about OopScript?
