Root’s home has been /root on every distro I’ve ever used ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been trying to motivate myself to go out for walks more. I really enjoy hiking, but especially over the winter, the weather is always an easy excuse not to go out (I’m in the PNW, so winter means rain).

I just bought some nice waterproof hiking shoes that will take away at least one excuse. I’d get wet feet using running shoes, and cleaning mud off was a pain too. Having the right equipment can make going out way more pleasant. (Also it can be exciting to try out new shoes or whatever it is)

I think part of that is caused by stupid turn signal designs that don’t stay in place, so to cancel a signal you have to push it in the opposite direction. And people can’t figure out how to get them to work properly.

What you described is definitely worse, but one of my pet-peeves is when drivers put their turn signal on AFTER slowing way down for their turn. It makes it seem like they’re just braking for no reason and might do something crazy like swerve across lanes.

The turn signal is meant to inform other drivers of your intentions before you make a move, not after.

Damn, that’s super annoying. My Ford truck has a similar feature, but at least it’s possible to turn it off permanently. I usually leave it on the “vibrate steering” / warning only mode, so if you’re distracted it’ll warn you but not actually take over.

When I first got it and was towing a trailer through some narrow curvy roads it was downright dangerous because I needed to cross the center line to stay on the road, and the truck was trying to steer me off the edge.

Most versions of their logo are a splat. I’ve never seen this version before.

Honestly I don’t know if I’d be able to spell random words on the spot either. I feel like I’m decent at spelling when writing or typing, but as soon as I start saying letters out loud I lose my spot and mess it up. My brain just doesn’t work that way

Thank god we were able to ditch flash player!

This is a bit different than MTBF like on harddrives. Batteries are usually warrantied to 80% capacity because it’s a wear thing, not a random chance of complete failure. A battery isn’t going to last twice as long as another one by chance, this is all about determining the average or worst-case operating range the battery will be in and using that to figure out a warranty period where they think all cars will fall within.

Somehow I feel like the cloudflare one is not in the same category. This is the first I heard about it, and end users don’t care about logs at all. I doubt there’s many businesses that even noticed or cared that they lost 4 hours of logs.

As shit, I’ve got one of those for spare car parts…

Why the fuck does an oven have a touch screen? That’s a horrible idea. Good luck cleaning your kitchen without accidentally hitting “buttons” on the oven! And heaven forbid food splatter turns on your oven broiler.

Less used than the Code key apparently. Their editor must crash A LOT if they need a dedicated button to launch it more than A or Space

I believe the lifecycle goes ExceptionLayer, ExceptionIncubator, ExceptionHatcher

It’s critical you don’t throw your exceptions too early, they need to learn to fly first 🤣

My biggest problem with it is that those aren’t verbs. You might have LegCount -> Countable and FleaCount -> Countable though.

There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

Oh phew, I don’t have flowers on my blanket either. I guess I’m safe too. Otherwise I’m in exactly the same position as this meme, and that would make me have to think about my life choices.

I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

My experience with cooking has been that because I don’t do it enough, I’m constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

In comparison, I’ve got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don’t have customers other than myself)

I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

But DO rotate your passwords if you suspect they’ve been leaked. Or every 5-10 years probably couldn’t hurt either. The thing that has a much bigger effect is using unique passwords for every service. And if you have a password manager, resetting 1 password after a leak is trivial.
