People make fun of me for preferring C above any other language, but I think I'm the one having the last laugh.
You should really try cobol, lisp, ada, or erlang. Dead languages are the best
I know I'm probably rushing into a woosh moment, but I must know - is LISP really a dead language?
I just thought it was a speech impediment… 🤷🏻♂️
It's my wishful thinking
Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards
To cast them, it uses libvegs however. It is not available in any standard package libraries, so just quickly build it from source
Yeah but the current build of libvegs has some conflicts with libfruit, so if you need to use both you have to build libvegs in a different directory and then simlink it in /lib.
Tomato keep being casted as fruit, even that for any practical purpose it should be as vegetable
That's it, let's re-write the entire backend in C++ to make use of multiple inheritance to tackle this one use-case!
What do you mean "this is overkill"? Do you have any idea how many tomatoes go into a fucking salad!?
If you forget the second step, well, that's what sweet potatoes are.
I'm a sysadmin by trade. My hobbies are:
I'm a QA director and I also like smashing printers!
smashing printers with baseball bats
I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:
They're sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.
Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don't wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.
What the fuck is wrong with printers
Fun fact: the entire Free Software movement exists because Richard Stallman got pissed off at Xerox one day, for not giving him the source code so he could fix his printer.
And we still don't have open source printers
People have attached pens to 3d printers and used them to write letters, effectively print. Most consumer 3D printers are useing or based on open source software.
I think the issue is, printers are relatively cheap to buy and replace. So building your own and programming it hasn’t been necessary. Where as 3d printing was completely in accessible before the reprap movement. 3D printing software is open source as it is motivated by people wanting to build their own machines that could build machines. Something you couldn’t easily buy.
Framework printer when?
Framework still don't have open firmware
Hey man, leave the carrot alone.
I got into cooking during lockdown, and have managed to get surprisingly good at it, to the point where if you asked me to make a meal of your choosing I could probably make it without looking up a recipe. It's actually unbelievably simple to make even complex stuff, basically using all the same rules you apply at work:
"RTFM" My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as "prepare the chicken" and aren't at all clear what they mean, unless you've seen someone do it first, but it's published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like "1 can" which just drives me insane as though that's a standard unit.
There's also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. "Chop" parsley - how finely? "Mix the ingredients" how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?
Mix ingredients - how long? Until they are mixed. If a thing needs stirring for a length of time the recipe will tell you
Golden brown is however seared you like it, as long as it's cooked, and there's no pink. Cooking is not a science, unlike programming. Personally, I like a good crusty sear.
Beef doesn't go golden brown when you sear it
Golden brown is the colour of cooked wheat flour products - things toast to golden, they don't sear to golden
Golden Brown is a song by the Stranglers released in 1982
Hey, I was released in 1982!
What a coincidence. Did you ever get tied to the mast and sent to distant lands?
Do commercial airline seats count?
As someone who loves cooking but doesn't have a dishwasher: it is the cleanup afterwards that kills me. Especially if I don't do it immediately.
With certain things, you can clean as you go, but sometimes I need to tend to something and I end up fucking it up because I'm running around the kitchen trying to wash out the pan I just used while something else is burning.
only hobbyists and artisans still use the standalone carrot.py that depends on peeler.
in enterprise environments everyone uses the pymixedveggies package (created using pip freeze of course) which helpfully vendors the latest peeled carrot along with many other things. just unpack it into a clean container and go on your way.
I know you're joking but you basically just suggested buying a pack of frozen mixed veggies so you can pick out and use only the carrots for your stew, and the idea of someone actually doing that sends my brain into a tailspin
Which is essentially the type of workarounds enterprise systems admins have to come up with as solutions.
Right? You could probably find just the frozen carrots. Some people, SMH.
4.3 ??? Hell, I haven't updated my peeler since 2.1 - no wonder my stove won't even boot.
