This is above my linguistic pay grade as I’m barely able to string together a coherent sentence when working, but, I think the moral here is that English is a crap language (at the very least very messy and lacks qualities found in other languages).

It’s a similar story for Swedish and German for example. Not exactly the same as Finnish, but the whole mashing words together for them to make better sense. I’m starting to think that English is the odd one out.

One example could be “kommunikationsdepartementssekretariatsanteckningar” (communication department secretary’s notes). But an English example would be where Swedish, German, I guess Finnish, would say “blackboard” instead of “black board” to remove the ambiguity while English mostly does the latter.

Or maybe your expectations are off. Volvos have always been very safe cars. In my 2008 and 2015 Volvos the head rests are “uncomfortable” and immobile. But I, and others who are shorter, can adjust the seat so that it saves my neck in case of an crash. They’re not there to be comfortable, they’re there to save you.

Edit: fixed “your my express expectations”

Yes. Fuck Russia and fuck Russians. Slava Ukraini!

woosh

I’ve not been too keen on copilot, then we got it at work so I tried it. For my previous position working in an ancient java project which knows no rhyme or reason, a codebase which belongs in hell’s fires, it was mostly useless.

I switched to a modern web developer position where we do a lot of data manipulation and massage it into common types to visualise in charts and tables, there it excels. A lot of what we do uses the same datasets and are then aggregated into one of a set of common types, so copilot often “understands” what I intend and gives great 5-10 line suggestions.

These last 3 weeks I’ve had the massive task of separating our data processing into separate files to finally add unit tests. Doing the refactoring was easy with IntelliJ, copilot quickly wrote tests as with 100% coverage which allowed me to find a good number of undiscovered bugs.

Tbf, I think it’s translated to “give me a clap papa”. But I’m basing that on interpolation as a swede

Same in Swedish, “sköldpadda”. Literally shield toad.

I left and joined Lemmy. After a couple of months of being flooded by politics in /c/memes, actually it’s everywhere, and very little new content I started going back. Now I doomscroll both. I usually head to reddit after a couple of posts which portray me as a fascist because I’m not a Marxist.

It’s honestly not as good as I Staple Tapeworms To My Penis.

Beat me.

I have a colleague who is really into Rick and Morty and has colorful hair. He’s one of those who has a pink/purple theme with little to no contrast. I keep my distance.

Yes. It’s an organized crime. Pretty much anything violent that happens here is because of gangs.

Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

MS does this. They do it everywhere.

Why net? In Sweden we only ever talk about gross, or as we save “before taxes”, as it varies around the country.

It’s not wrong, but it feels a bit like some tech articles you’ll see which are obviously just created to fluff up a CV. I wouldn’t say avyttring here is flat out wrong, just kinda… lacking.

But yeah, /boot holds “system boot loader files”, sure, but that’s a bit vague. It should contain your kernel and initramcpio and IIRC Grub also had its config here. That’s pretty much it. I would’ve rather said /boot contains the kernel.

“device files” it’s so vague that it’s almost wrong IMO. At first glaze I would’ve thought that it means drivers rather than, say, “interfaces to devices”

I don’t trust a graphic which explains /boot as “system boot loader files”…

At which point they terrorise the other guy and won’t shut up.

Did you miss every other frame, pal?
