UK here, I was definitely the last person renting in my circle, bought a house mid to late 30s. Feels like everyone else bought 10 years before.

Blue jeans, blue blazer and brown shoes is the norm nowadays.

Hear me out…

How do we know it wasn’t a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

You get that there is a pattern of shitty historical revisionists that bring up “Muslim slavery” to minimize US slavery? Which you just did?

Sorry, you’re going to have to clarify this for me. 1) Which revisionists? 2) Why is “muslim slavery” different to “slavery”? What did I do?

Islam is not a world view, what? It’s a religion that has a long history (that a large part includes slavery).

Europe, as implied by the very first post, was a large part of the North American slave trade. However, the UK effectively ended the African slave trade, the first I believe, long before the US did, which is why I mentioned it.

I agree, I shouldn’t have taken a worldview (Brazil, Europe or Islam) when the post was clearly about the US.

Now show slavery in Brazil.

Or Europe.

Or Islam.

This arbitrary timeline doesn’t help. All slavery is bad.

It also doesn’t help applying our current views and ideals on the past. I don’t know when the cutoff is, but at some point we have to say “it was a different time and therefor acceptable” not necessarily forgiving them, but at least acknowledging that it was “acceptable.”

and the fact it is “legal currency” but not officially legal tender (even in Scotland itself), it’s weird.

The legal tender argument/debate kinda annoys me as people seem to think it has something to do with legitimacy.

“Legal tender” in England and Wales is money that the English and Welsh courts will accept in payment for debt. So the Courts said we accept money issues by the Bank of England in the follow denominations, etc.

The Scottish Courts said “we’ll accept money, or whatever we deem is acceptable to repay a debt we’ve issued” - so the legal tender definition doesn’t even mean anything in Scotland.

Keep in mind, legal tender is really specific, so if you try to dick around and pay a £1000 fine in 2p coins - it will be rejected as that is not legal tender. You can only supply certain coins up to certain amounts.

But anyway, Scottish money, or Northern Irish money is valued exactly the same as BoE issued money.

A shopkeeper being unfamiliar is fine, they should be cautious. But until they do interact with it, they’re always going to be unfamiliar.

But, this is most likely to get worse as cash becomes less common anyway.

When they renamed 23c to 23ai I cringed so hard. You don’t install the DB and get an AI, you get an empty DB that has vectors.

And enabling employees to use AI more than the free tier is really expensive too.

The cost is upfront for training the LLM, then they have to sell the end product to us (to recuperate costs, start training the next 500B model, etc.), so giving their employees access to a higher tier of LLM is relatively minimal cost, inference isn’t exactly cheap, but I think they could afford to give their employees access to higher models.

But, this is Oracle I guess.

This sentence reads like Microsoft is the inventor of Javascript:

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’

So there’s 3 things, either they meant Typescript, they are very wrong or they’re quoting Brendan Eich and not attributing it to him.

FreeIPA (IdM on RHEL clones) is similar in some functionality (you join the domain, you allow certain users/groups can run certain commands [like controlling sudo’ers], etc.) and it’s also a CA).

For configuration management I lean towards Ansible (Puppet, Salt, Chef I think all use a Ruby syntax, Ansible is YAML), and for deployment well Terraform, Kickstart and cloud-init - without knowing your environment it’s difficult to be more precise. There’s also Pyinfra which I’ve been meaning to give a whirl but not had a chance.

You’ve also got Keycloak if you need OIDC or SAML functionality (for SSO).

Network company: “China is doing better than us in their home market where we don’t supply much.”

Also Network company: “It’s not our fault, it’s Europe’s.”

I’m in the UK, we have different siren sounds than the US - and I still do this when I hear a siren on a song by a US band or artist.

“You’re absolutely right!”

“If you want, I can…”

Any images being presented/created/passed then questioned and the same image (use a checksum I guess) is returned.

I’ve read that the double dash (emdash?) is a bit of a giveaway as although correctly used, it’s not very prevalent in current English (although, I do remember Microsoft Outlook used to convert hyphens to that as well). And I think double-space after a full-stop/period?

Glad you’re sticking with it and finding it challenging and hopefully fun!

I tried to keep this game as simple but, hopefully challenging, as possible.

My other game Fourmula you can do that :-)

I heard it was in reference to the Puerto Rican governments initial death toll caused by Hurricane Maria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria_death_toll_controversy), which was…a very low number.

Seeing a jar of Grey Poupon and saying “Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?” and I had to ask if anyone had seen the film when no reaction and they said, no.

Not sure I follow. Which app?
