Linux has its own weird implicit copy paste on the mouse - pressing the wheel pastes the last thing you selected.

It depends though - if you’re copy pasting between programs, you’re probably using your mouse already, so it’s good that the buttons are there. But if you’re writing or editing text, you probably have your hands on the keyboard, so you need the shortcut there as well.

My kids use my account.

So mine is a quarter space, a quarter MTG, and half Minecraft.

More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).

But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they’re used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn’t. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.

The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you’re doing when you carry your phone.

This is about light rail though, which is usually built in cities (or, at least between a city and its suburbs). So I wonder how much of the cost (for both rail and road) is for land rights.

Ink for the ink god, drivers for the driver throne.

No we’re not, you’re just in the blue zone. Us greens are quite happy.

I’ve gone through many pairs of headphones too, I’ve worked from home for years and had a long-distance relationship in a time before smartphones (and before cheap wireless headphones) so Skype+headphones was the solution. Both driving over them with an office chair and accidentally pulling them were real dangers and caused real damage.

Now I just don’t use them anymore, since I have meetings on a company laptop, and the relationship is much closer.

It’s not the same care though. Wireless earbuds come with a box. For regular ones, I’d have to make a suitable box, and also carefully roll the cables every time.

The battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones.

I don’t know how you use your headphones, but in my case I switched to wireless because every single pair of wired headphones I had would break. Usually the cable, earbuds because they were in my pocket, and the overhead ones I’d drive over with my office chair.

Switched to wireless a couple years ago, no issues since then.

That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

“Team restructuring” is so much fun, you never know what you’re going to get.

Your boss’s boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it’s going to be, until the end of the meeting.

34, Slovenia, same story.

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

There’s nothing “inexpensive” about that though.

On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you’re all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can’t be the only test, but it’s very useful as the first one.

I think they meant 3/7/21 instead of the standard 3/5/15.

Um … Tankies and Nazis often disagree with each other. Are they both doing something right?

A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

The wealth will finally trickle down!

There’s a great test for programmers called FizzBuzz. It’s an extremely easy task - print some numbers (maybe 1 to 100), but replace them with Fizz if they’re divisible by 3, by Buzz if they’re divisible by 5, or by FizzBuzz if they’re both.

Many reasonable people consider it way too easy - if you can write this, it doesn’t mean that you can write complex programs, or that you know the applicable languages, or that you know anything about the business domain.

But interviewers know that it’s a great test because a lot of so-called programmers still fail it.
