They are like the anti Amazon in terms of shipping for religious reasons, given their observance of shabbos they don’t ship on Saturdays at all. Good to know that their warehouse staff has a weekend day off to rest.

Someone predicted that they were going to slowly add back all the stuff they took out and they were right

Some sweet older ladies used to work for the NSA like my grandma, and she only had me get rid of her Linux mint partition because she wasn’t using it much

My computer science teachers were all over 70 and *nix users, that’s the generation that created a lot of computer stuff we use to this day.

You’re going to need to take a look at your country’s immigration policies before you go ahead telling people to come

Am wondering if the new ones can actually fit someone who is 6 feet tall in the back seat without them having to hunch over

Wondering if incandescents can still be sold as heat bulbs because that’s what they are

Cucked behavior if you’re gonna pay Elon musk you need to wear that shame

Unless I’m mistaken I would say that it’s the other way around, Morse code is more like a human readable machine language expressed in binary because the 26 character alphabet is expressed in different binary values, much like ASCII.

This is a weird meme to me. Have you ever made something like a simple accumulator machine out of logic gates, OP? You literally just program them in binary, although usually the instructions are expressed in hexadecimal. You make your own instruction set. When we did ours in Compsci foundations I just decided that 0x06 was going to be my jump at negative instruction. I could have wired the logic so that instruction was at a different value, it’s literally possible to make your own instruction set, then your own assembly language, and then your own compiler, and your own programming language. People, mostly women at first, did this for every new computer their institution built at first.

I am old enough to not care what people on the internet think which is why I posted this, I am battle hardened

I had the same journey but I’m pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
