@kiilas that's too bad. But at least you got a couple of good ones.
@autistikai @fructose_dealer I don't get it?

@kiilas sounds like progress
@sexybenfranklin that is awesome! plenty of great quotes and awesome scenes in that!
@Katsudon @Dee I keep waiting for the software to just handle that. If I switch focus to a different tab, there is little reason to have all the tabs using whatever they feel like using. Or even if I close them, I see no reason for them to contunue to use up all available ram. But killing all the chromium processes and restarting with reopening them all, does so without giving them a whole mess of mem. But I will search arounf for tab suspender

@Trumpublican mmhmm, sure. Reasonable Tranny = Nazi, whatever you say. The word Nazi means fuck all in modern times because people like you compare being reasonable to slaughtering Jews. If you ask me, that is very anti-semetic of you. Stop watering down the Halucoust you absolute 2 by 4.
@TranimeGirl pretty sure people are paid according to what they negotiate.
@vector hopefully Bram has never done such shenanigans so feel free to use Vim :)
OTOH it was rms and 2009 and he was actually acknowledging that women actually used computers at all? Is this really something to get one's knickers in a twist over?
I have no reason to defend rms over anything. I believe he has either changed or else eliminated that particular skit thing. And, he might have even apologised for it.

Magdalen and I did not get along when she was alive. At the time we crossed paths online, my views were different, I was still unaware of what's been going on. I'll be looking through her content when I can with my current point of view.
In either case, my sincerest condolences to her family, friends, and fans.
Shame on the "trans" community for celebrating her death. I don't know my opinion of her views at the moment, it's been a long time, but I do know she wasn't out to destroy anyone. Her intent was to protect women's rights. Celebrating her death sends a clear message that reveals the true colors of the "trans" community.
I have always said, no matter one's views, the death of someone who wasn't actively attacking others is off limits. Have some decency, ffs.
Just finished watching Ode to Billy Joe. The language patterns in the verbal sparring between Billy Joe and Bobbie Lee were wonderfully delicious.

Some people asked me to share a lvery difficult yet simple logic puzzle that has stumped my friends. It is also my favorite interview question.
First off some background. The problem is not a trick question, as much as it may seem like one. There is no play on words, no hidden exception. Everything in this problem is exactly how it is presented and the answer doesn't rely on any slight of hand. Take this puzzle at face value.
Also **ALL ANSWERS NEED CONTENT WARNINGS** I do not want you spoiling it for others. This goes for questions and hints too.
Now on to the puzzle:
There is a room with 100 jars with lids on them all in a row. There is also a stack of papers, 100 papers each labeled 1 to 100. The papers are shuffled and one paper placed into each pot randomly.
You and your assistant are in an a joining room. Your assistant is allowed to enter the room, look in all 100 pots, and if they wish they can pick any 2 pots and switch the paper in them. They can only do this one time, they do not have to do this they can choose to also do nothing. At this point they leave the room, without talking to you.
Next, someone tells you a random number from 1 to 100. Your goal is to enter the room and open a pot tht has that number in it. You are allowed to open, at most, 50 of the pots.
Whatever process you use to open those pots must **guarantee** that by the time you open the 50th pot that the number you were given will be found. Obviously your assistant didn't know what the number is at any point.
What rules do you give your assistant, and what rules do you follow, to ensure you are successful?

@ITwrx it used to be that if you wanted to learn you might pick up BASIC, or if you wanted to pay for a compiler you used Pascal. Or if you were a follower of Knuth you learned Mix for which I don't think there is an acatual compiler or interpretter. So, I am thinking as a "Hey, this computer stuff might be neat, maybe I should learn some coding" Python seems like a great first program starting point.
Did you see @freemo puzzle? It was quite an interesting task, but when ti was done, more interesting was tryign to write it in something. I live in C all day, so of course I chose python :)
@ITwrx if recommending something to a n00b I like to keep to the things that I know will be able to support their learning process. Everyone that graduates with a masters degree seems to write a new language. So there are new ones all the time.
@ITwrx it is on Rosetta code, but near as I can see it is still young enough that it is a sub 1.0 version. Are there good turtoials like Python, and lots of current users and existing codebases and libraries to make life for a n00b easier :)
@ITwrx this is the first I have ever even heard the term
@alex I guess the next question for this is "What is TRA"
@TranimeGirl that is pretty cool.
