Good they are not sending people from New York back to England But you got to admit, some of the naming choices are ridiculous, what's with all those Paris-es and Pragues.

Ha, but with that smart watch we have almost came a full circle :) Except of course, it's multipurpose and I presume much more expensive device now. What's the model?

Especially for programming, you definitely don't need to be right the first time and of course you should never run your code in a production environment for the first time. That would be absolutely reckless.

What? Criminals can be voted into the office, but cannot vote?

[-] daddy32@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yes... But still... Especially when running... I find these things completely ridiculous.

I have used a dedicated MP3 player during the workout just few years back - I found carrying my entire almost 200g phone during the workout extremely inconvenient. In the end, I ended that for the benefit of bluetooth headphones which were not supported by the dedicated player.

Is it really a big issue or are you just internalizing the language of the oppressing class, putting common people against each other?

The current older generation has lived longer than any other in history, and they’ve clung to control for as long as possible.

And now you're adding ageism to the mix. It is not old people who are the problem! Keep your eyes fixed on the real enemies and don't target your exploited fellows.

Just going outside, to the nature preferably. Not to the mountains though, that's too serious and snobbish.

This is not hot air though, so the cited source does not apply.

Edit: but it does link to more relevant study towards the end, comparing different means of hand drying.

I'll just leave this here:

Hygiene associated with the product has been questioned in research by the University of Westminster Trade Group, London and sponsored by the paper towel industry the European Tissue Symposium

Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

update: this is the clip: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0 Many thanks to @Krill.

Good day everyone! A long time ago, while working as a full-time programmer, I saw a short funny clip that I could totally identify with and that brilliantly described what daily frustrations programmes face in a way that non-programmers could understand. Description below. Thing is, I was unable to find it since and it frustrates me to no end and is hampering my ability to describe programming work to other people. Though I no longer program for a living, so I should not care. Anyway.

Video description (vague, from failing memory): A handyman reaches for his equipment but finds out it is not plugged in, so he reaches for the plug, only to find it broken. He proceeds to get the replacement / fix from the drawer but its handle breaks and stays in his hand. Bang, final title: the daily life of a programmer.

Or something like that. Please help.
