+1. It’s like beef but leaner and more flavorful.

“performance”

“I feel the need…”

(I don’t even have to finish the line.)

That’s the one I remember lol

I thought it was “So long and thanks for all the fish”?

Looks to me like the reader (the Linux user) is identifying with the subject of the image, which would appear to put them in a sympathetic light.

“mistakes”

Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?

Bwahahahahahahaha

Yeah, I think this is the best option. It sounds a little weird at first, because we’re so used to hearing it the other way around, but it makes more sense if you think about it.

Some computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:

Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for “logical” and “arithmetic” bit-shifts. The details as to why aren’t important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.

When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “when I wake up from my next sleep cycle”, use “logical tomorrow”. When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “after midnight tonight”, use “arithmetic tomorrow” (or “chronological tomorrow”, if you really want to be pedantic).

Only NOW?

More devs should learn to use Rational types. A pretty large majority of the numbers that people care about in real life can easily be represented by a ratio of integers, and they allow math with perfect precision.

eta: even monetary types are just a form of Rational, with the denominators clamped to powers of ten

Sigh. Guess I need the joke explained?

What’s wrong with strict types?

Fuck ChatGPT.

tl;dr tl;dr: use a modern compiler.

Can we just not with the AI-generated illustrations?

ArsTechnica, baby

I know they’re owned by Condé Nast, but they seem to genuinely maintain a good deal of journalistic independence

I seem to recall coming across a glossary that had something to the effect of,
