They just didn't need to stop for gas

I hope for the day that SSDs finally dethrone the spinning rust at even the high capacity range

Eustices

That's it, I'm gettin me mallet!

Ok yea, but it's 6MB, it's inconsequential with today's storage densities and a modern system can handle it with ease

I have some hope, a few blue states (Like CO) have been attempting to push this shit too, so hopefully their strong desire to not give the left any wins outweighs the desire to give the right what they want.

Excellent! Hot swap all the things!!!

Although, using floppy disks has the advantage that everyone has to make sure their file sizes are small enough to fit on them. Which makes for much easier handling for those who don't use floppy disks.

What? How is that at all relevant in today's age?

I take it you're not a fan of South Park either?

Because SP does the same damn thing, they'll make fun of anyone or anything, which is why they get away with so much because they aren't targeting anything specifically with any kind of seriousness

I get the best of both worlds, it takes sustained pressure for a LONG time for me to get angry about something and when I finally do get angry it fizzles out and I'm over it in a matter of minutes to a max of about an hour.

But then again, most of my "negative" emotions are like that, grief, sadness, anger etc fizzle out quickly and I'm back to "baseline". It's like there's a switch on brain that goes "Ok, that's enough of that, back to normal", not sure how normal that is in relation to others LMAO

Wait … I worry what you heard was, 'Give me a lot of bacon and eggs. ' What I said was, give me all the bacon and eggs you have ~ Ron Swanson

Yo ho! yo ho! A pirate's life for me, Sailing through the broadband, on the digital sea. With torrents and downloads, we navigate the waves, Seeking out the treasure in cyberspace's caves.

We plunder and we crack, from software far and wide, Our digital fleet sails, with bandwidth as our tide. No map or compass needed, we follow the online trail, In search of hidden files, and secrets to unveil.

Yo ho! yo ho! A pirate's life for me, With DRM to crack, and torrents running free. We hoist the Jolly Roger, on virtual high seas, Aye, we be the scourge of the modern IPs.

With VPNs to cloak us, and proxies in our wake, The legend of net pirates, just rumors and hearsay. So raise a glass of energy drink, to the life we lead so free, For we are modern pirates, on the vast and boundless sea.

Yo ho! yo ho! With every byte we claim, We'll sing our shanty proudly, in the digital domain!

I tend to agree with @[email protected] , prices can vary wildly, in my area I'm closer to his 12ish bucks. This is for a large meal WITH cheese and bacon

Lol I wish, but if anybody on the KoTH reboot reads this my DMs are open lmao

If only Dark Brandon would be allowed to send this to the court in reply

I would do option A, but instead of just not using the free internet, I would use it for everything else not needing server services. So like streaming or general browsing.

Just leaving the Google fiber as a dedicated pipe for all my self hosted services

You can do this kind of split with pfSense easily

Nah,

Buck Strickland would get Hank to go along with it (maybe even enthusiastically) for the initial "Good" stages where they try to make propane delivery far better and more streamlined for customers blah blah blah. Buck would hide/skip over the "Taking investment money, while not making any profit" parts

Eventually Hank would start getting a few questions popping up in his head when he starts realizing the propane is being sold cheap, too cheap. He'd go to Buck and Buck would be able to shift Hank away.

Then the enshittification stage hits and Hank realizes what's going on, after a while of "Bucks got this" he'll get infuriated when Bobby shows him online comments from people complaining of the now crappy service. He goes to confront Buck, only to find him drunk AF at a stripper club and not giving AF because he's gonna be rich.

Meanwhile Peggy, infuriated at these online comments from people, makes Bobby show her how to get one of "these new social applications" and proceeds to defend her husband online, while discovering that she finds it addictively fun.

Hank will try to confront him again the next day, only to find Buck freaking TF out because things aren't working out like he thought and beg Hank to fix things like usual.

Hank sits down and cranks out a solid and reasonable plan for profitability, makes Buck pay back the investors to take back control and restores things back to profitable normalcy. When he gets back home after, he finds Peggy stuck on her phone desperately fighting against a storm of trolls, he just takes the phone and turns it off and carries her to bed

Fin.

I am just shocked, SHOCKED I say. Well, not that shocked.

When passing or storing data in code you usually have to specify what type of data is it. An int is an integer, so numbers, there's also boolean (true/false) and many others. There's also string which is just characters of any kind (for the most part) which pretty much makes it a catch-all, since numbers can be a string along with letters and special characters.

But to use a number as a number after it's been received as a string it has to be converted to an int, which means extra code, more effort, more failure points etc etc.

"if that guy ever comes back in the building I'll quit"

You can't just leave a story like that lol, did "sr dev" come back into the building? Did the other dev follow through on his threat? So many questions

The stupid part is they don't stop their websites from working on desktops when they detect it's being accessed with an administrative account.

If it was such a useful and important feature then why don't they all do it? In fact it seems it's mostly small time banks that do this. Most of the major ones I've used don't seem to care at all to even attempt to detect it (Capital One, BofA) or if they do, they just display an easily dismissible warning (USAA)

This tells me that this "important security feature" is just very low hanging fruit for smaller banks to pick so they can say they have good security with minimal investment. It's about as useful as that "unable to pick your own username" security thing I mentioned (which also seems to be only a smaller bank thing)
