You need to make the weekend a thing. Maybe I’m too European, but when I’m not on call, my workphone is off.

1+4 is 5 though.

This is something that can easily get refactored, because the purpose of alia the variables is right there in the name. This is way better that spending three days to try to figure out what the purpose of var1 is.

New versions of java have a null coalescing operator?

I didn’t know that.

Edit: a short search didn’t return any answers, as far as I can see java doesn’t have this operator, the closest thing is the ternary if operator.

Yes, it’s very useful when applied correctly.

I’m always disappointed when I remember, that I can’t use such a feature, because I’m stuck using Java.

Sometimes you don’t have a choice. Either park there or nowhere. Examples include, but are not limited to: designated parking spaces, or full parking lots.

Or try having numbers or strings that look like they could be dates.

That would be unfortunate!

Try using Excel in another language than English. You have to hope someone, that speaks your language had exactly the same problem as you, because all the formulas get translated and Excel doesn’t recognize the English version when your language isn’t set to English.

Fuck yeah!

I’m always a bit surprised when I hear it read references to Hogan’s heroes online, because Klink is more a bad guy in them. I grew up with the German version and don’t get me wrong, it has hatable characters like Hochstaetter, but Klink is mostly a loveable idiot who tries to be more or less good to the pows. Manipulated by Hogan, yes, but does try to be good to them.

Heat energy is the amount of particle wiggling. With precisely tuned and oriented lasers you can clamp a particle in space, thus prevent it from wiggling.

No wiggling -> very cold.

That is true, the first fifty years are to be attributed to being better and faster than the other side just for the chance to be better at blowing them up.

Who gives a fuck about space tourism? What the hell does that give us as a species?

You can say that about tourism as a whole.

Diet specialists hate this trick.

To be fair, I don’t think so, there will probably years that still be relatively cold or even colder than previously. Climate change is about extremes getting more extreme.

Yes of course you’re right, let’s just pretend that my brain didn’t just stop processing language correctly 😁

In Germany we have the saying: “Herr lass Hirn regnen. Oder Backsteine. Egal Hauptsache du triffst!”

Which roughly translates to: “lord let it rain brains or bricks. Doesn’t matter as long as it hits”

The monoblock is a prototype water-cooling block, like in just the thing that actually makes contact with the thing you want to cool, not the piping, not the pump, not the reservoir, just the block. What makes this block a monoblock is that it covers the entirety of the gpu, so not just the actual graphics processors, but memory and power delivery, too.

Or so it appears to me.

Mine neither I tend to be the xenophile egalitarian scourge, that when poked will rain down hell.
