  Mazda’s Laputa translates to “the bitch” in Spanish.

  There’s also Ford’s Probe…

  But yeah ID.EVERY1 is a mediocre name.

  But, without any thrust, they would stay in orbit for years. Eventually, if in low orbit, their space suit will collide with enough stray atoms, it’ll lose enough speed to fall back to earth and incinerate in the atmosphere.

  It’s hard for me not to engage with their opinions. Like “no, that’s not how that works,” “There’s more to it than that,” “there are several things wrong with what you said.” There’s no point trying to argue on the Internet, but some of there comments make me angry. I especially hate when they support something just to “own them libs” like that takes priority over peoples’ well-being.

  It says garbage patch, not dumpster fire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The “reasonable” moderate Democrats are hoping to win votes with: “We’ll undo a few Republican initiatives and put our friends in offices, but otherwise keep everything the same.” Can’t imagine why that isn’t getting them votes. In 2024 they ran out of Republican initiatives to undo and their platform was just: keep our friends in office and keep everything else the same. If they had other planned initiatives, few people picked up on them.

  The nuance that makes this false is that the water will eventually get bored and seek another job.

  Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
  For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.

  It’s probably more cost effective to run Azure Services on Linux machines than Windows machines.

  I was wondering how Signal handles this. Thanks for the info.

  Phone makers: hmm this isn’t selling. Guess we’ll only make phones that look like and do the exact same things as every other phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unrolling loops is efficient, right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the class. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes… or functions… or loops… or searching the internet… partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn’t bother to search for code.

  Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.

  There were problems in Jerboa, but I had to clear the data and log in again.
