Such hits as ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘x’, and ‘y’. I know the version of the language we were using didn’t have native utf-8 support, so I don’t think kanji varnames were possible. It even made comments in kana and kanji really wonky (I think the comments were shiftjis)

Pay down the house or. If that doesn’t count. Buy an EV (or maybe the electrical work at my house to support one)

You got 3 letters?! Luck!

I worked at a japanese company whose engineers we’re former NTT developers. Copypasta (i.e. not using functions), inefficient algos, single-letter var names, remote code execution from code as root, etc. good times!

Dear democratic party: as a voter in a state that went from purple to more red, I was still voting for you in every election and outside of the blue cities. Was. I would rather vote for a pile of dogshit than your party again.

Maybe hematite? I seem to remember saying that about hematite when I was young and the whole neopagan and new age stuff had a moment.

This question has me bside myself. I haven’t lived there in more than a decade, though, so not sure if I count anymore. I was trying a joke and realized that I am, at least technically, American and had to stop, heh.

No I’m not!

(I was considering just posting the Monty Python argument scratch instead)

Nothing. These days? Not because I don’t know things, but because a lot of people refuse to accept new information, even when it comes from reputable peer-reviewed sources and there’s not much arguing with that.

I don’t think it does, or at least not much. I quit before BC, the started working in the games industry years later and had to pick it back up. Quit before the panda thing (I forget precisely when).

I have good memories of playing it with coworkers and friends. I don’t think about it these days at all (and fuck blizzard, honestly).

That job had me play lots of MMOs (I worked at one of the community/fan/tools sites (we did not allow account/gold sales, botting discussion/links. Etc)) and eventually I burnt out on them pretty hard. Single player RPGs are more my jam these days

You can strip AI out of this post and nothing changes. Granting various things access to your various systems/works has and will do things like this.

Also, any ideas on how to spend a week without Internet?

I feel so very old all of a sudden, even as someone who’s technically (at least once they bumped x back to 1980) a milineal.

Hiking, walking, reading, card games, board games, and even just talking. Cooking could be fun as well, depending upon the setup. Fishing, maybe?

Edit: drawing, painting, knitting, etc. as well

First, I start moving people to hotel rooms…

No. I would walk ~5-20 minutes to a bus/train station that would take me there.

Edit: for < 4km I would walk. Why does Google think that would be such a long journey in terms of time (which my first response was based upon)

Extant in Latin and roots in Proto-Indo-European presumably. I’ve met many with my name.

We’re stuck on Mac at work and I hate it.

Japan apparently has the same problem. It definitely has that probably using a phone to scan the id card to use various services (which is why I run stock android, mostly, with transit passed and banking being the other reasons).

I say apparently because I have zero interest in having the id on my phone itself.

Rooting apparently makes FELICA not work which is super inconvenient in Japan.

Seconded. Not just Tokyo, either, but even up in sendai

I don’t use a smartphone enough to worry about it. If I am using my phone, most of the time it’s either Anki, Google Maps, or, like you mention, banking/government stuff.

Texting via SMS (or whatever it is these days) isn’t really a thing in Japan, either, which makes things more difficult especially as I despise talking on the phone. If, for example, I’m at the supermarket and wife remembers something she needs, getting that message is good

I was redhat/mandrake of which neither worked well on my PC, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and mint (playing with distros like LoaF at various points).

I got started on Linux at home from the valley of despair on early-2000s Gentoo. It wasn’t that bad, but I did have a lot more time on my hands being too poor to go out most of the time.

I just put mint on a laptop yesterday; got no time for it anymore
