I just need an AirPlay Audio server so I can stream music from my phone to my stereo. Volumio fits the bill but is probably overkill. I’m open to any suggestions for an up to date FOSS alternative.

Every single one of them.

Since it looks a lot like Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, he’d also had to fend off drug dealers. Either that or they though “this quy is already higher than a kite, maybe he doesn’t need more”

There is a contraption often found in commercial kitchens where you can push a bar with your arm that squeezes the bottle to dispense soap without touching anything with your hands. No idea how it’s called but extremely low tech and efficient.

It was a long time ago when code reviews were not yet standard practice everywhere. He was also protected by one of the few customer’s employees in the team, who was almost universally hated, because they bonded over some controversial political views.

Yeah nowadays this code would never make it past a PR.

STORY TIME.

I once worked with a guy who spent so much time and energy trying to prove he has smarter than any of us. That smug bastard was a senior contractor paid twice as much as us lowly regular contractors. I once had to do some simple evolutions on one of his projects. Seriously it was one of the worst shit code I’ve ever seen.

Every single line had to be a 200-character long hack of nested functions, ternary operators and conditional operations. It’s like this condescending fucker was living in a hackathon where the most simple shit had to be implemented in the most brain-fucking, unreadable, convoluted manner, in as few lines as possible. His code was a literal fucking brick wall of symbols. It’s like this fucking idiot never heard of if…else blocks and/or decided that ternary operators were the only way to do conditional statements.

This cunt was fucking proud that none of us rubes was able to maintain his shitstain code. He even gave me a smug smile when I started working on this dumpster fire.

Anyway, I trashed the whole thing and rewrote it from scratch in a “dumb” way. Lots of air, simple unitary instructions, a code so simple a non-tech person could probably follow it along with little difficulty. Oh, I also fixed several major bugs and design flaws while reimplementing it.

Guess which version is still in production and has been evolved and maintained by more than a dozen contributors since then?

Funny thing is, when he eventually got booted from the project, we realized that nobody could maintain his code, not even himself. Since his main project wasn’t in my department I barely looked at it when he was here, but when I was asked to take a look, a simple commit history check told me everything I needed to know why every single feature took fucking weeks to be released and had some weird-ass edge-case regressions in unrelated places.

Land border with Denmark, check. Aquatic border with France, check.

Based on these facts, Canada is no less European than Germany and should therefore join ASAP.

I rest my case your honor.

They are legally bound to eventually adopt the euro. But they can deliberately fail to meet the convergence criteria, like Sweden does.

Tell me you don’t know a single thing about F1 without telling me you don’t know a single thing about F1.

Was ist diese Kanal? Ist es lustig wenn kann Mann nicht gut auf Deutsch sprechen ? Are there good subtitles?

Not sure how I managed this but I installed windows long after Linux on my gaming PC (to use a VR headset that was given to me), and somehow it created its own EFI partition without nuking the real one.

Rolex and Omega are the BMW and Porsche of the watch world. Huge brand recognition and status symbols, and also an entry level to luxury/performance. But honestly these days I feel the exclusivity and price levels are completely artificial.

I like tool watches and vintage Subs or Speedys were originally created and recognized as proper, tough tool watches for professionals, not status pieces. I’d rather buy a modern mechanical dive watches or chronograph for much less and with much more enjoyment than any modern 18k gold “luxury timepiece”.

I see no point in keeping my power hungry monster awake 24/7. I’m in any game less than 3 minutes after a cold boot.

Basically the whole shenanigans around cheating at every single turn to get a car in the points. Every single member of the team would get a disqualification/ban faster than you could spell “crashgate”. I think they could have written an entertaining story without breaking every single racing rule in the book several times per race.

It’s a pretty solid movie if you don’t give an actual fuck about F1. It’s a wildly unrealistic fantasy film with bland, one dimensional characters and I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it was set in a fantasy series. Grounding it in an hyperrealistic setting with real teams, real cars, real people on real tracks is too much of a cognitive dissonance for me.

The actual racing footage slaps tho. But the movie itself is miles away from Rush or Ford v Ferrari/Le Mans '66, which are actual good racing movies based on (heavily dramatized) real events.
