Big red button might help, but when I’m “in the zone” with coding, normally I forget everything around me :) One moment I’ll be browsing the web on my leisure time, and then I have an idea for one of my work projects, switch to that and “wake up” 8 hours later with lots of stuff done and no idea when I “clocked in” - that’s usually when I do “ls -lR” on my project folders and check file timestamps :D

Thanks! I could have sworn it had a relation with Perry Rhodan - and sure enough the printhouse is Pabel / Rastatt, same as for Perry Rhodan - they probably shared illustrators who worked for commission across different novels :)

The problem is working on different computers & sometimes switching back and forth between private time and work time. That’d require actual button presses or something to “clock” in/out

As someone who works atrocius times of their own volition & has to create a clean timesheet every end of the month, this is a great idea -buyt there are too many special rules to consider imo - also I never properly track time (keep forgetting) but reconstruct work times from emails, chats & calendar entries :)

*nucular. It’s (pronounced) nucular :D

Interesting read but I’d argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.

Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.

Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.

german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.

While this is true for me(*) - partially, it’s not a fear, it’s a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.

* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there

Thank you for the summary! I found myself in OP. I am eating mostly vegan, and I have a cat, and I believe people who force a vegan (or even vegetarian) diet on their cats need mental help.

I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn’t get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.

My emphasis was on “don’t use C++ like you would python” because that’s not good advice imo.

Importing CSV into SQL is trivial and gives you far more control than Excel can.

Not quite, but smart pointers in the wrong location can be quite wasteful in terms of CPU cycles.

There’s a tool for a given job. And for some, Excel may be decent. But for many, MS Access used to be far superior to Excel. Not sure if it is still maintained well, as I no longer use MicroShit

But, if you’re a power user doing a lot of complex data analytics, Excel is still the king.

Only if you refuse to learn SQL and do everything in a fraction of the time with way more functionality.

That’s a cuttlefish though, and despite the name is not a fish.

So, basically, use it like you would use Python.

That’s a great way to get performance as shitty as python’s.

thanks, now I’ll be policing my own speech for this :D

I didn’t realize that capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive until I grew out of my mid 20s…

Oh that war criminal monster Netanyahu was never willing to negotiate in good faith. He really is doing a genocide to distract from his own criminal proceedings. Once, in my younger days, I thought democracy had overcome absolutism. Now, I just think the ways to power have changed

Let me get this right… Hamas is bad, so those cunts assassinate moderate party representatives that would be an alternative to Hamas?

Lol that is so spot-on I can’t believe the parallels never occurred to me. One exception though, I really had good burgers in such a place in Haarlem / NL.
