When passing or storing data in code you usually have to specify what type of data is it. An int is an integer, so numbers, there’s also boolean (true/false) and many others. There’s also string which is just characters of any kind (for the most part) which pretty much makes it a catch-all, since numbers can be a string along with letters and special characters.

But to use a number as a number after it’s been received as a string it has to be converted to an int, which means extra code, more effort, more failure points etc etc.

“if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

You can’t just leave a story like that lol, did “sr dev” come back into the building? Did the other dev follow through on his threat? So many questions

Wait, you guys are turning off your laptops?

There’s also a huge value to people working in the same space.

Random conversations solve a lot of problems.

If only we had decent VR headsets that were comfortable to wear all day I wouldn’t mind replicating that in a “virtual office”

Unfortunately, even Apple wasn’t able to solve the comfortability problem.

Wait, is that a real connector/jack and not photoshopped to be comically elongated?

LMAO yea ok buddy, Ukraine was totally unstable when Russia started the war lolol /s

For better tagging classification of your user can you specify which of the following apply to you:

1. An employee of a Russian disinformation campaign
2. A volunteer of a Russian disinformation campaign
3. An American who drank too much of the Kool aid
4. A European who drank too much of the Kool aid

THIS was the plan from the start

Lol yea, because Putin secretly loves western/capitalist countries and played along to attack Ukraine! /s

Bruh, wdym “has become”? MS was wild in the 90s.

Paywall free link

Im in the same boat as you, when 10 goes, Im going to go back to(see Vista Era) linux as much as possible.

There are at least 3 of us! Lmao, we have until Oct 15th 2025 for win 10

The only people that are inconvenienced by replacing your comments with gibberish are humans that may find that thread later on looking for information.

That’s what I said awhile back, still ended up down voted to hell lmao

I’ve already started running into this, (probably) good information and the answer I was looking for was now “Pizza Paper Piper Follow Bumble” or some shit, but I’m sure reddit has versioning and has the original still so it was pointless.

Well I wasn’t really disparaging AI in general, just Gemini and ChatGPT specifically, and not because they’re AI, but because I feel their answers are genuinely neutered a bit aka “Disney-fied” which for this kinda joke is ehhh.

Whatever you do don’t ask ChatGPT or Gemini this, their boring ass Disney-fied answers ruin the joke.

Not only that, depending on where this vending machine is, it could be nothing more than a leased spot with the actual machine, inventory, and access keys owned by an off site company.

While the sign could be the best that employees of whatever store could do

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?

And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”

Yea, but propublica has money to hire lawyers and can actually take companies to court over it.

Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.

My head hurts now, I need to go lay down…

Idk, the “Hoary netherworld” sounds kinda fun
