I used my PC to watch TV from bed before sleeping and just set an auto shutdown so it would turn off after I fell asleep. Once I forgot to set the auto shutdown. So I did the only reasonable thing: I grabbed the laptop next to my bed, booted it, SSHed into my PC, shut it down remotely and then powered off the laptop. This was in the days of spinning hard discs and the entire scheme took at least 20 times as long as had I just gotten up, moved 1.5m (that’s 5 feet in freedom units) and shut it down directly.

Good thing I almost exclusively listen to artists who got into trouble with the authorities for their music.

So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

Just to be clear: are you talking about the Palestinian terrorists or the Israeli terrorists?

Possible. The sample size is rather small, though.

The pattern is inconsistent. Either it needs to be bar and bye or bmouth and bnose.

Great, this has just replaced some vim key bindings in my head. Thanks very much!

Not joy in general; just other people’s joy.

I just dabbled in javascript again, and that description is spot on!

console.log(‘javascript operators are b’ + ‘a’ + + ‘a’ + ‘a’);

There was a building site next to our office and I stood at the window and watched the workers. A colleague walked up next to me. We stood there in silence for a while.

Me: “Sometimes I wonder if I should just fuck it all and become a gardener.”

Him: “Me too.”

Me: “I’m serious.”

Him: “Me too.”

We briefly looked at each other with expressionless faces. In silence we watched some more. Then we went to the next meeting.

True story™.

I actually had more success getting old windows games to run in modern linux with wine than in modern windows.

They likely would, if it was an Arch butt plug.
