Look up your phone on dontkillmyapp.com and make sure tailscale is excluded from battery and network “optimization”.

Nah, you want bimbos.

Yeah that’s a nice reaction, the other dude wasn’t being a jerk so no need to make him feel bad about it.

Into the breach is so fucking good. It’s like chess but with huge mechas punching the shit out of kaijus.

If you’re into metal you should check out rokk-app.com. Kamelot’s drummer is involved, and they claim to pay artists much more than the alternatives. You can also select a particular band which will get a direct share of your subscription.

It just came out last week so it’s rough around the edges for now, but it might be worth checking how it evolves over time.

The VBA part of the meme is real, VBA is (was?) localized. Turns out it’s a horrible idea: some keywords are badly translated, some are not translated at all. Googling localized error messages is useless, so you need to guess the original error message from the translation. Want to copy/paste a function from SO? Not so fast, you need to translate the keywords first! And the variable names as well while you’re at it.

Ironically, you end up spending a lot of time on translation-related issues. I’ve worked on a french-VBA app, and it was a miserable experience (well, even more miserable than english VBA).

I think he meant SSN.

Bonus: Elon “fuck yourself in the face” Musk pretending to be shocked.

It’s the amount of data you can download from the usenet network. The data can be anything stored on Usenet servers, but the overwhelming majority of users use it for piracy: movies, tv shows, music, video games, you name it.

Wayland itself can’t crash, it’s just a set of protocol specs. The implementation you’re using (gnome/KDE/wlroots…) does. Obviously this doesn’t solve your problem as an end-user, just saying that this particular issue isn’t to blame on Wayland in itself.

Yeah, definitely better than 8.

I watched a friend’s teenage son play a couple of times. They don’t seem to play battle royale or any kind of competitive mode anymore, they just chat and dick around in what seems to be seasonal levels. Reminds me of my WoW days where I logged in to do my dailies more for the social engagement than the actual gameplay.

I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.

But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

Nah, Hibernate, Spring and most major Java frameworks have largely moved away from XML. It’s still supported, but these days it’s mostly configured in the code directly, with properties loaded from yaml, JSON or the environment (for containers).

The JDK ecosystem is in a pretty good spot nowadays. With Spring boot you can whip up a productions ready back-end very fast, or if you prefer a more hands-on approach there are lighter frameworks/libraries quarkus or micronaut.

The Java language itself has evolved fast and is actually pretty nice now, and if you prefer something more modern akin to TS or swift you can just use Kotlin which is almost 100% interoperable with Java.

Since Java 14 it looks like this:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException:

Cannot invoke “String.toLowerCase()” because the return value of “com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException$PersonalDetails.getEmailAddress()” is null

at com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException.main(HelpfulNullPointerException.java:10)

But it’s their legitimate interest! ^Whatever ^that ^means

It requires 16GB RAM, which is perfectly acceptable. But it can use more if available, for high res textures I assume. Which are streamed from Microsoft’s servers, explaining in part the difference between install size and max memory requirements.

What do you use? I rooted my phone precisely for this, but google pay and my bank still see I’m not on the stock ROM : (

They have to call, mail or physically go to the bank I guess.
