I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).
I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.
The way the article makes it sound is, if individual employees download OracleJDK while on the company network, and use it for small personal scripts or automation, then that might be enough to trigger Oracle to act.
If your company is large enough, then enough employees may have done that to make you a reasonable target for litigation if you don’t work something out with Oracle. And Oracle is an expert at litigation.
I think that the best defense for a large company would be to IP block all Oracle domains and periodically scan employee laptops for any Oracle products (especially JDK and VirtualBox guest additions) and delete them.
You really have to treat anything that Oracle touches as malware if you want to protect yourself.
In one episode of GameChanger, the host mentions a few others that they weren’t aware of when the intro text was written: Taskmaster (which is awesome) and Ellen’s Game of Games.
I know for sure that there is a mastodon client for Emacs, but of course that uses a different protocol and wouldn’t work for lemmy: https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el
As someone who has two packs of that in his pantry right now, that stuff is awesome.
They actually did do something similar to this but with beer. They extracted ancient yeast DNA from 45mya that was preserved in amber and used it to brew beer.

Unfortunately no longer available, which is quite the shame since I really want to try it lol.
I just gave PlantUML + the C4 Plugin a try and generally liked it, thank you for the rec!
It seems like a good tool although it inherits all the joys and pains of automatic graph layout.
I think I’ll keep it in my arsenal for detailed diagrams that can handle being a little aesthetically wonky.
I hadn’t heard of C4 before and it seems like a solid idea.
What you describe sounds absolutely terrible, but there is a way to do something like this well:

Of course, the key is to enumerate all tasks, assign complexity to individual tasks, consider likely blockers, and multiply times by an uncertainty factor.
Today, I wanted to make a module for my AwesomeWM status bar
It’s great when simple tools let you extend them like this. It may be kinda hacky sometimes but oftentimes a small, tightly-scoped extension that you develop for yourself can give you a lot of value.
Canonically, the True Power (of the Dark One) was granted only to those who served him, whereas the One Power was open to all channelers. This makes a “One Power” subscription very funny to me.
No matter where you go, everyone’s connected.
I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend
100% equals one full core. Higher numbers are possible for multithreaded processes.
He seems to be one of those people who’s incredibly rude to service workers. He was banned from a restaurant in NYC and the owner went off on his behavior there:
+1. The joy of camping (for me) is that your experience is directly related to your preparation. You plan your location, activities, meals, sleeping arrangements, and companions, doing all of the research and investment up front to make each of those work well, taking into account weather and conditions, and then you get to enjoy a trip where everything goes well with people you care about, with the satisfaction that the experience that you are having is the direct result of your actions.
Of course, the pain of camping is that any and all of the above can go wrong, and then, indeed, it’s probably gonna suck.
I’ve seen buildings like this in the West Village.
I was surprised to find that non-alcoholic beers specifically do still make me sleepy. I looked into it and there is some research that says that other compounds in beer could be responsible, or it could just be the placebo effect since I’m used to feeling sleepy after drinking beer.
I think that’s normal as well. What I meant to convey is: if someone is an alcoholic, then they are likely to be in the first group. I didn’t mean to imply the opposite: if someone is in the first group, then they are likely to be an alcoholic.
Alcohol has different effects on people based on their genetics. It makes some people feel amazing, and if they keep drinking they continue to feel amazing for hours. It makes some people immediately feel awful. It makes some people feel good but also very sleepy. The first group is much more likely to experience alcoholism.
The taste is a separate thing. I am part of the third group but I’ll have a single drink on occasion, and I enjoy the way that beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails taste. I think that the alcohol does make them taste a little better, but they also tend to taste good without it.
I often drink non-alcoholic beers or mocktails for the taste, because alcohol is after all a poison and it is a good idea to limit consumption.
Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.
