Spent two hours today to get my IDE to yell at me when I use 3 spaces instead of 2.

No, my language is not sensitive to indentation.

Toilet.

Let us sing praise for the Rhineland Palatinatian Landesverordnung zur Ausführung des Gaststättengesetzes (Gaststättenverordnung - GastVO -), in effect since 1971, which mandates one toilet each for males and females in every restaurant or pub, and more for larger establishments.

Iron in saltwater isn’t rusty. It’s iron.

I think owl meant to talk in Microsoft’s voice.

Is this really NSFW? I find a workplaces that tolerates your usage of lemmy, but not this meme in particular very strange.

I’d hate to think of people getting chickens just for food and neglecting then otherwise

What do you think farm chickens’ life looks like?

For others like me who have no clue what this meme is about:

In 2016, a 3-year old got into the Gorilla enclosure, where he was grabbed and dragged around by a gorilla, Harambe, which was then shot.

Every bug falls for this at most once.

I never said that it was impossible for a farmer to learn things outside their immediate field. Just like computer programmers often have knowledge of hardware and the general technology stack.

My point, to make it explicit to a few of the illiterates who’ve replied to my comment so far, is that it is not necessary to teach a web developer how a goddamn CPU works. They can gain nothing from that knowledge because there are at least 3 levels of abstraction between JavaScript and assembly.

You don’t teach a farmer how an internal combustion engine works. Computers are tools to software engineers. What they need to know is how to operate them, not how to maintain them.

That’s the price of specialization. Don’t ask a software engineer to troubleshoot hardware. Don’t ask a backend dev to write a frontend. Don’t ask a proctologist to look at your cough.

You simply cannot be proficient at every sub-sub-specialty. That’s why we collaborate and hand the ‘my computer gets hot’ problems to the hardware people. The alternative would be only moderately useful generalist.

I thought C++ was meant to get rid of C’s footguns?

Even if querying data was processing-heavy and even if somehow the ‘hard drive’ got warm during this, then there still would need to be a hardware defect in order for the drive to overheat.

“And the mitochondria”

“Is the power house of the cell”

Children cheer in applause and repeat it, because it rhymes.

Where the hell is the rhyme in this?

It has more detailed maps for each continent too.

The continents being North America, Africa, Australia, Europe, South America, Great Britain, and China :)

I must admit that I’m more harmed by this image than I thought I would be.
