So long as they're following the standard, and you know which orientation you're holding the stick, this should be doable 71 percent of the time every time.

exactly 3.785411784 litres
Okay, but Bernie was talking about “liters”.
Are there also differences between metric liters, imperial litres, U.S. litres, U.S. dry litres, Canadian litres, ...?

Also status: I broke one of the plastic supports of my computer case.
This is unrelated to my previous status for the most part.

Status: Filling in the paper worx for getting a covid vaccination.
Enter name and birth date on three places, address on two places, plus two signatures.
Uncle Doc will have to sign these papers on two places, plus an entry in the vaccination booklet incl. stamp and signature, plus likely some extra paperz.

status once again mystified by a project lead who wants work done without specifing what work needs done and then trying to offload it to someone else.

status recruiters must need to make their quotas. Apparently its never being a better time to jump ship. I wonder if there is unsatisfied milfs in my area too.
At least it didn't come from the guy who landed me this job six months ago.

Unfortunately, actual reality places the percentage in the -30 to -15% range

For the morbidly curious...

@DogsB LinkedIn keeps telling me how hot the job market is but I've had a call from maybe two recruiters this year and the one I didn't turn down outright (I was tired of not hearing back on applications) ghosted me anyway (no loss because they ghost every time they call me).

Even original stupid might try to hand-roll encryption. You have to be slightly less stupid in order to need to be more stupid to do so.

@Gribnit It depends on how much scrutiny/attack the encryption needs to stand up to.

Haha not really.* Either you didn't need it at all, or you wanted it to actually work.

Almost anyone can make an encryption scheme that they can't break themselves. Defending against an antagonist is a whole 'nother thing…

status: why are people so stupid?
I submit a ticket about the latest nightly build (nightly is a bad name for it, they're built maybe every other month) and after two weeks the response is "cannot reproduce in any current release".
No shit, Shirley, I'm reporting a bug in an unreleased version so you fix it BEFORE FUCKING RELEASING IT!
Morons...

Appears that the value of zero is also specified to 5 digits, a significant advance on the previously established precision.

@Gribnit They wanted to make sure there was enough room in case they had to put a € sticker over the zł.

Status: Alright, I have a guess, but anybody else want to make a guess?
I have 4GB of RAM but 32-bit Windows can only seem to see 3GB of it. Fine.
Lately I've been seeing it pop up alot of "you're low on memory!1one" dialogs even though it's well under 3GB.
So my guesses are (in order of decreasing likeliness):
- It's crying about my page file being full. I had to limit it to keep Chrome from eating the entire drive with whatever the fuck it's doing. Seriously, a 40GB page file? On a system where most of the software predates Windows 7?
- My RAM chips are going bad.
- What's left of AVG (I swear to God, I shot it, staked it, threw holy water on it, locked it in an iron chest, and buried it under a lake, and I'm still not sure it's really dead) is trying to scare me into reinstalling it to check for viruses so it can bring the machine to its knees again.
