An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician find themselves in a joke, indeed a joke quite similar to many that you have no doubt already heard.

After some observations and rough calculations the engineer realizes the situation and starts laughing.

A few minutes later the physicist understands too and chuckles to himself happily as he now has enough experimental evidence to publish a paper.

This leaves the mathematician somewhat perplexed, as he had observed right away that he was the subject of a joke, and deduced quite rapidly the presence of humour from similar jokes, but considers this joke to be too trivial a corollary to be significant, let alone funny.

@wizzwizz4 That's true, but @wago makes a good point that these criticisms apply just as well to physical money, and perhaps even worse, since lost coins represent much more resources than assets lost on non-PoW blockchains. So they kind of miss the mark in this case, except for the part about PoW blockchains being extremely wasteful, which is a point made much better separately.

@mkljczk @polamatysiak No, i tak powinny wyglądać wyniki następnych wyborów.

@wintrero Don't worry it's a slow process. First you accept your true gender and you won't even notice when you end up wearing programming socks and arguing about CPU architectures.

Now that I am properly trained in "Workplace Diversity, Inclusion & Sensitivity", I can conclude that this course offends me with its cultural biases and low level of cultural competency, by falsely assuming that my name contains only ASCII characters.

this reminded me of a joke website idea I had a while ago, where, if vivaldi's four seasons were to be stretched out across an entire year, which note would be playing

@schratze The keyboard in my laptop barely works now, but I bought an external mechanical one and just use that. It's more expensive, but also more durable, modular (as in you can use it for different computers), and, well, comfortable. Definitely was worth it for me.

@chjara @Paradox You just need running water. Fluid dynamics is Turing-complete.

I just want you guys to know that the multiple *years* I've had my music on Spotify and iTunes have still made me less money than the first two weeks of the same albums on Bandcamp.

Please support artists directly if you can.

seeking employment in tech, breaking the facade of everything being fine 

.? Hi fedi!

So…this is very not working, so it's (past) time to try asking yall.

We have a low-level security certification (so we figured for months that's where we were headed), but we're beyond being particularly picky. We can code, or do helpdesk, or whatever really. We know things and we learn quickly.

Would you, or do you know anycreature who would, be willing to talk with us and maybe give us a chance, instead of summarily rejecting us because we don't have all the pretty pieces of paper? I really think that's all we need: a real chance to prove ourself.

We'd give more information upfront, but we're already /very/ uncomfortable with this post, so we're gonna leave it there. Sorry for the vagueness.

@josh The final arc literally begins with Voldemort pointing a gun at Harry. <_< Harry also later shoots another gun. @chjara@mk.absturztau.be

@Firaas Ah, I've been wondering why some of the protest signs referred to Egypt in the reports, that makes sense now. Thanks!
