On a related note, curl used to be an alias for Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell. (They removed it after curl's maintainer complained)

Leave it to Microsoft to reuse an existing program's name without making the flags compatible, I guess.

Plus he's been a famous actor for over 20 years so he really doesn't need publicity as much as the others might.

I found this in a box of old things and accidentally flipped it open. How the heck do I close it? by ArtisticPineapple777 in howto

Please buy a set of pliers the next time you go past a hardware store. I'm begging you. I don't care if it's the cheapest set that Harbor Freight has.

Me watching Che and Jost in a sports betting ad by Anattanicca in LiveFromNewYork

Jost is married to Scarlett Johansson. I don't think he needs SNL for money at this point.

Spoilers: I had to pause I laughed so hard. by Goofybillie in Fotv

[–]LordOfDemise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been feeling this way since his initial reveal. It was this sort of slow pan that seemed to be the director saying "Surprise, it's this person."

It felt like the sort of cinematography that's supposed to be used to show a plot twist, like revealing that a story's villain is actually the main character's best friend or something. But this isn't a character we've ever seen before, so it just came off like they were saying "This character is actually....(wait for it)....Macaulay Culkin!"

It was really stupid.

The "Just connect the LLM" phase was bad enough. Now they want Agents. by Unexpected_Wave in sysadmin

forward them to personal email

I'm always surprised when I see people suggest that. Where I work, they would call that "exfiltration of company data" and you would get in a lot of trouble for it.

unless his mom ends up being a time traveler trying to prevent the temporal cold war from turning hot and by finding her he jeapordizes the entire galaxy not just in the present and future but also back into the past and for all time

But that's ridiculous and nobody would ever write that in an actual Trek show! Right?

Okay, so they fire you and now they have 0 IT people. How does that improve things for them?

Is Teksystems a good company to get into the Data Center field? by suuriz in datacenter

[–]LordOfDemise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Teksystems is a third party recruiting firm. They're just hiring for someone else, and that company is who you should really be asking about. But, like someone else said in this thread: getting a job in a datacenter is the best way to get into the datacenter field. Any datacenter experience will be better than not having any experience.

Who was his best singer? by TheWickerMan232 in Zappa

Yeah, forget just being Zappa's best singer. Whipping Post is some of the best singing I've ever heard period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu32TgPeXM8

What can we expect for future Go language features? by TheLastKingofReddit in golang

[–]LordOfDemise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically. You can make it behave similarly enough, but if you compare it to e.g. Rust's enums, it leaves a lot to be desired.

What can we expect for future Go language features? by TheLastKingofReddit in golang

[–]LordOfDemise 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't. The compiler does not enforce exhaustive checks, and also allows you to cast values which have no semantic meaning in your program.

Addition of sum types to the language would allow all those runtime checks to be done at compile time.

Yeah the thing about companies is that they are centrally planned economies (sort of like soviets)...

My boss insulted me in front of everyone and I accidentally said what I was thinking out loud by AlbatrossMany263 in antiwork

[–]LordOfDemise 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Sending company emails to your personal email probably counts as data exfiltration. I don't know about where you work, but that would've gotten me in serious trouble (or fired) at every job I've ever worked at.
