I’ll use the cliche meme of “I was today years old when I learned where the name comes from”. Just made the connection when I read this article, and I love Pulp Fiction.
But I too am not a native English speaker. Just always accepted the clunky acronym as the reason for the name.
Why does Athens have a USA flag and English text?
Two things can be true at the same time. Palestine is a horrible place for us queer folks, and Israel is committing atrocities against the Palestinian population.
I remember a talk a few years ago where someone engineered controlled detonations to destroy a single server in a rack without damaging any surrounding equipment. Was pretty fun to follow the engineering.
Fuck shopping centre employees amirite folks?
I discovered Tinariwen through one of their live recordings. Pretty amazing stuff.
May I offer my friends grumpy cat? Sparks more joy than USA politics.
Dear little gay people in my phone, please post more cats, less USA politics.
In the railway context an engineer was the person who worked the engine.
In German the word comes from Latin roughly meaning inventor. Presumably the general usage of the word engineer in English has the same etymology.
Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn’t targeting desktop Linux.
Which is going to change once any sort of widespread adoption happens.
But at least in my circles, malware really isn’t that big of a deal in security. Phishing is where the danger is these days, where the costs occur.
One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.
If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.
Did you tell them that you don’t have access to your account? Because to me, this reads like the default answer (“here’s how you do it yourself”), not like they won’t do it by email if asked to do so.
My company does the same - if you ask our support how to delete the data, they will send you a link to the customer portal. Only if you tell them that doesn’t work for you, they will work out another way.
We built the feature into the customer portal, so we want people to use it if possible. Because that’s way less work for our support team.
Notepad++ may very well be widely used as an IDE. Notepad isn’t. Other than the name they have nothing do do with each other. It’s just a plain text editor with absolutely no features. Maybe some people use it to write code but unless you can’t use anything else, even a web browser, why would you.
Really? Where are you located? I walk past three clocks on the way from my office to the metro station alone.
But that’s the thing. When that Video was made, almost all of the advertising was focused on the same BS the article is disagreeing with.
I remember lots of NordVPN ads by uninformed nontechnical creators just reading the provided script. Saying that Balaklava wearing hackers will steal your credit card data just by being in the same cafe as you, and only an expensive VPN subscription can protect you from that. Or that only using a VPN will protect you from malware.
This sort of advertising is what Tom Scott critizied back then. IIRC he even said that there are real use cases, but that you shouldn’t believe the fearmongering. Same as the article.
The fearmongering advertising was the problem, not advertising the service itself.
Mistaking if= and of= when using dd.
Dunno if you’re German or Austrian or something, but in Vienna there is a Ziegelmuseum whose curator studies the history of bricks, how they were made and used and whatnot. They have a long list of brick makers in Austria, when they were active and so on.
If you’re in another country, they could maybe help get you in contact with a historian local to you.
Could help you learn more about your mystery brick.
