Its funny how Michael Meyers decided ogres are Scottish and Scottish people are kind of ok with it.
Hatred, fear and loathing.
I hate you. I hate you all.
And a grandkid or two would be nice…

Our big brains take a lot of care and feeding for sure.
We also adapted for endurance hunting and fine motor control in our hands. A Chimpanzee could tear your arm off, but they could not throw a curveball.
Just to add to this all data is ultimately stored as ones and zeros. In order to translate it to a piece of text or some type of number the computer needs to determine what type of data it represents. If the computer guesses the wrong type you just get garbage. Languages like C allow you to store data without rigid type definitions, it is up to the programmer to make sure the code gets the type right. In a strongly typed language you are not allowed to use variables of one type as some other type without some explicit conversion. It is safer but a little annoying.
That’s pretty amazing. Where is this?
Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.

I am going to recommend Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle series. Its an epic yarn that stretches across the globe during the 1600’s weaving in real historical characters and events. The book is kind of a prequel of sorts to the Cryptonomicon, while you don’t need to have read it first, if you have you notice the tie ins.

What has helped me break out of the spiral is to notice when I tell myself I am stupid and actively respond, “No I am not”

Sheer existential dread.
xylogx@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If your dog realizes that your leather jacket is the skin of another animal then it probably thinks you're a psycho.English2·25 days agoThe weird thing about clothes is that we don’t think they are weird.
When asked why are you vegan, I usually just say its better for me, better for the environment and better for the animals who dont have suffer.
I have never converted anyone to be vegan. When I say that, it just kind of ends the conversation, which is kind of what I am shooting for.

That’s right, you pay for support not the binaries and the source code is free under GPL.
