Do you have a computer type that can represent the entire rational set?

It’s not “mimicking” a fraction. It is a fraction.

It’s also the most compact fraction representation around.

I think it used to be down more often. But it’s been a long time and memories aren’t reliable.

What changed is that it mostly only did git, that isn’t in a time-sensitive work process. So nobody cared much if it was down.

The firewall always gets new rules somehow.

Everybody swears the AI feature that adds random rules is disabled, and it has a log that shows the rules don’t come from it anyway. Yet, the rules keep appearing.

The caveman with socks and sandals is the best part.

Oh, right. I read it all wrong for a moment.

No, the GP is saying emacs has been ported to Windows.

Vim has too.

Da fuck?!

Where doe it declare it’s a public property? Is it some kind of default now? Everything you write becomes one?

You know… A version control system… That class of software that makes it possible for you to recover from any error you commit.

I dunno what possibilities they actually had. But knowing the place, I can fully believe both that they weren’t allowed to check and that they never bothered.

The most likely scenario in my head was that they sent a request to the provisioning team asking for the volume to be in a different disk, and that detail never made into the technician actually doing the work (that sits on the next chair, but the requests have to come from the system).

(And the long term backups were fine. We lost 3 days of data.)

Last time we lost disks at work, there were full backups.

They were just in the same disks as the data. And because everything is abstracted two times into virtual disks on virtual machines, and containers and volumes, the people responsible for the backups didn’t even know it.

Well, that change alone would mean elements have different names…

Fake news. It didn’t begin.

Most DBs have some way to reset reused connections. Postgres is one of those.

The actual problem, even with public data, is that it’s trivial to overload a database with bad queries.

Or stay with the basics and use lsof.

Either way, not coming with that tool by default and forcing every usage of the file to lock it is a really stupid pair of mistakes.

I imagine if it hurt, they would pick some other material.

They mix it with some material they produce, so it won’t behave like pure cement. Also, after you mix it, concrete isn’t caustic.

The Universe is locally flat.

And so is the Earth if you localize it enough.

From the other replies, it looks like the most used CSS framework expect people to code like that.

Not that it’s good, but lots of people insist you can’t coordinate teamwork in CSS without using it.

It really doesn’t need to be a picture.

Yes, but if you try to make a text post, the browser AI agent doesn’t know how to help you and guide you into posting an image instead…

Crontab is a really badly designed program that we just can’t fix because everybody depends on its WFTs for something.
