fuck off Russian troll.

So don’t vote for them dipshits (punctuation intentionally left out for double entendre)

You mean you did nazi that coming?

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

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 :)

Well - I thought I’d mention that it could look like that - but of course it really depends on the personality / financial situation of your friends whether that might have influenced them

Is that a tip jar on the table? Even if not, just the association is enough for people to feel like they have to contribute financially for the food. While that isn’t an outrageous thought, for people who are tight on their finances, it might be an uncomfortable situation where they’d rather skip on the food than take it and not pay a share.

Just because everything that can happen, will happen in the multiverse theory, doesn’t make this a possibility. This was never on the table - that would just require way too many unlikely particle decay events ;)

haha - what a dumb insecure little pathetic fuck of a nazi dipshit…

I love the reporter not letting it go so the little manchild is losing it.

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.

I was thinking figuratively of the UK as a person, and of persons as bipeds…

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

ah right - forgot UK still has one foot in the medieval ;) thanks for the clarification!

CPS is? City Prosecutor … ??

as to 1) - that’s judged differently in Germany - in part to protect victims of domestic violence who will often “change their mind and not want to” press charges after filing an initial report.

2. in that case, yes - but again, if it’s a criminal offense, the victim has an obligation to testify, even if they have no interest

3. I have no idea how the funding of our judicial branch looks like atm

Assuming the only evidence for physical assault isn’t just the victims statements (but even then), I feel that both crimes are currently being ignored.

To go back to the example of Germany: If you accuse someone of a crime (directed against your physical well-being or property) here, towards authorities (e.g. police) and then say “but I don’t want to press charges”, that no longer matters - they are obliged to record a report of a potential criminal offense and leave it to a judge to decide on how to proceed.

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
