Yeah, it could upset plans such as tickets, amounts of food brought along, seat reservations at restaurants,… so it is a bit rude to keep that to the last minute.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 1 day ago:
In what world do you think someone is a creep and then you agree on going on a hike of all things with them, an activity that is basically guaranteed to have you alone with them at some point?

How often do thinker with the memory management in Java?
As a sysadmin unfortunately every single one of those shitty Java projects forces me into dealing with that sooner or later.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 days ago:
Pretty much any compiled language is easier to install and distribute. Java applications are an absolute pain to get to run to the point that most need specialized wrapper scripts (usually in shell on unix platforms) and need to tinker with memory management parameters on almost all of them.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 days ago:
There is also absolutely no consideration in Java for production usage.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 days ago:
On the other hand back in Java 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 days you frequently had companies install a specific patch level version because their applications worked only with that patch level. That was back when Java was actually popular for some reason.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 days ago:
They forgot to mention that production Java applications apparently need to log a certain minimum number of completely meaningless stacktraces per hour to work properly. Or at least I assume that is the case from the fact that all of them do that.

Cars are still the most significant expense in most people’s lives after shelter and certainly the most significant in terms of cost per actual time used.
- Comment on Anon takes the horsepill 6 days ago:
That link about car cost is from 2021, pretty sure inflation had a significant impact on that in the last few years too, not to mention car companies getting rid of lower end options for a while now.
- Comment on Anon rizzes up a girl 1 week ago:
On your standard keyboard accidentally typing m when you meant t would be quite tricky.
- Comment on Anon rizzes up a girl 1 week ago:
If you do have a keyboard actually typing out the word is usually not the limiting factor either.
- Comment on Anon rizzes up a girl 2 weeks ago:
It has pretty much always been a low IQ thing when it is just about saving a negligible amount of letters. This is not your “afk” or “brb” where time is of the essence, this is similar to the people who use “u” instead of “you”.
- Comment on Anon awakens an ancient evil 2 weeks ago:
That one is one of those grammatical situations that I literally remember as “it works the way that does not make sense” since it is the only subject where the possessive form does not use an apostrophe before the s.

Not to mention that this was written in the 80s and 90s. Lighting was signficiantly more of the average person’s energy bill before LEDs so it made sense to the audience back then.
- Comment on Anon lives dangerously 3 weeks ago:
You are still vulnerable to every kind of vulnerability in every program that processes a file you download. Particularly parsers (e.g. XML, images, PDFs,…) tend to have a lot of those over the years.
- Comment on anonette doesn't want to admit she's wrong 3 weeks ago:
I don’t like that analogy because it makes it sound like a natural thing while really drinking only has that “gravity” through many of our societal choices we could absolutely change (as a society I mean, not as individuals necessarily).
- Comment on Anon reads a book for school 4 weeks ago:
At some point I started dialing up the symbolism interpretation up to 11 but somehow they didn’t like that either. I came to the conclusion that they want you to validate their particular interpretation of a work even if it put too much thought into it compared to the author, not put too much thought into it yourself.
- Comment on Anon reads a book for school 4 weeks ago:
Part of it is also what they make you do to the book. I remember one exercise involving a book of our choice and of course I selected one I already liked at the time. The analysis itself tends to make a book a lot less fun.
- Comment on Anon plays Splatoon 5 weeks ago:
Game assets can’t be patented. Patents are for concepts, copyright and trademarks are for specific things like assets.

Even fixing a single typo is not a 5 minute 1 man job if you take the full task (issue tracker to commit, potentially time tracking,…) into account.

Or a real pervert who is into that American date format abomination.

Hey, you would have difficulty going to the toilet too if it took 1h each time you did so and 3h to take a shower.
- Comment on Anon explains the 2nd amendment 1 month ago:
It is much easier to push through extreme actions like that against your own population though if some idiots with guns give you a good excuse to fear monger.
- Comment on Anon explains the 2nd amendment 1 month ago:
Making them shoot an unarmed group of protesters is much harder than making them shoot an armed one.
- Comment on Anon builds a routine 2 months ago:
They seem to have an easier time not making generalized jokes on how having a partner is toxic, painful, a loss of freedom,…
- Comment on Anon misses something 2 months ago:
In the context of a conversation about people who come in just before closing it could also just be taken as a hint that he is one of those people.
- Comment on Anon has a special request 2 months ago:
Wearing insanely heavy armor only to leave the helmet off seems like the kind of thing so obviously stupid it should be kept out of propaganda material at all costs.
- Comment on Anon takes the long way home 2 months ago:
On the other hand with an active imagination not being followed in the forest at night is another special kind of scary. You can imagine all kinds of ways you could trip over something and lie there unconscious or hurt and unable to move and nobody will find you for hours.
- Comment on Anon has a special request 2 months ago:
What would be the point? Space marine armor is fully enclosed, nobody would see the skeleton anyway.
