lime!

in swedish, being accused of having a stick (or, rather, a pole) up your ass means you don’t close doors behind you

really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.

the part that’s safe is in the browser. it’s a basic fact of how http requests work that you can just request data and then not read it.

also, “task managering the popups”? unless i’ve missed some very weird development that has literally never worked, because popup windows are part of the parent process.

sounds like HP. their version is awful.

no, the difference was clear to me before. good for other readers though.

hello officer

wow

or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.

but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

usually they’re curved.

when you write left-handed you push the nib into the paper rather than dragging it. left-handed pens have angled tips so the nib still drags.

the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.

this is left handed discrimination

steam that runs turbines tends to be recirculated. that’s already in the paper.

sometimes you need a machine that makes things up according to a given specification.

data centers are mainly air-cooled, and two innovations contribute to the water waste.

the first one was “free cooling”, where instead of using a heat exchanger loop you just blow (filtered) outside air directly over the servers and out again, meaning you don’t have to “get rid” of waste heat, you just blow it right out.

the second one was increasing the moisture content of the air on the way in with what is basically giant carburettors in the air stream. the wetter the air, the more heat it can take from the servers.

so basically we now have data centers designed like cloud machines.

Edit: Also, apparently the water they use becomes contaminated and they use mainly potable water. here’s a paper on it

is it not pommes frites? fried apples?

honestly, i’m not fucking with any more redboxes.
