This meme but unironically

We’ve figured out optimal packing methods for any number of squares inside a big square. When a number is below and near a square number like 15, you just leave an empty box, but when it’s far from the next square number, you’ll be able to pack them more efficiently than just leaving empty squares around. Turns out this kind of stuff is hilariously hard to prove that it’s the most efficient method.

1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.

Not to be confused with Digital Rights Management, another far more widely used DRM acronym. No worries, it’s not like that’s confusing or anything.

You seem to be under the impression that they care about anyone’s safety, rookie mistake. Their job is exclusively to boost consumer confidence in air travel and increase corporate profits.

Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.

That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.

The US govt basically has a perfect credit score. They have almost infinite payment history and almost infinite available credit.

Inheritance makes complicated objects that would otherwise be impossible possible, but it only works if you know those objects really well. The problem is people write ridiculously complicated mystery objects in libraries and no one knows what’s going on anymore.

I would like to know more.

But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that “GitLab Support Bot” always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.

Where science meme?

Apparently Mr. Ballmer is a real programmer at Microsoft. Even better, he was still working at Microsoft in 2007 when the comic came out, but retired a few years later.

It’s not Slack’s fault. It is a good platform for one-off messages. Need a useless bureaucratic form signed? Slack. Need your boss to okay the afternoon off? Slack. Need to ask your lead programmer which data structure you should use and why they’re set up that way? Sounds like the answer should be put in a wiki page, not slack.

All workflows are small components of a larger workplace. Emails also suck for a lot of things. They probably wouldn’t have worked in this case, memos are the logical upgrade from emails where you want to make sure everyone receives it and the topic is not up for further discussion.

I always watch The Cloak of Deception instead. Not sure if I’ll ever go back to the original.

“With modern science, we’re able to see what kind of memes they’re making in the year 2300.”

Here’s a few reasons this doesn’t work:

1. Planets are different sizes, electrons are all identical
2. 2 planets cannot occupy the same orbit, but (at least) two electrons with opposite spin can
3. If you have a high speed planet entering the solar system, you can’t transfer some of its energy to another planet and have the rogue planet continue with less energy
4. All orbital energies are possible, not so much for atoms
5. Planetary orbits emit gravitational waves. If electrons produced the equivalent (bremstrahlung radiation) during “orbit”, they would collide with the nucleus hilariously fast. This isn’t a problem because electron orbitals don’t have a physical representation.
