Hoecke Jugend?

This, too, hurts.

Well, there’s neither a great black shark nor a great Jewish shark.

Everybody’s so concerned with preserving Hitler’s brain. But when you put it into the body of a great white shark, ooh, suddenly you’ve gone too far.

I remember when r/ProgrammerHumor was full of hilariously bad UX/UI. There were so many amazing entries.

I heard about people using multiple used 3090s in a single motherboard for this. Apparently it delivers a lot of bang for the buck, as compared to a single card with loads of VRAM.

Meh. When they’re a dark green they’re incredibly sour. They need to be slightly yellowish, then they’re amazing.

It’s Walter Cronkite reporting on Kennedy’s assassination. I’m not American, but I’ve seen it often enough now to know this.

Challenger and Chernobyl, as they happened within a few months.The shape of the Challenger cloud will be forever seered into my brain. And after Chernobyl we had to seek cover immediately when it started to rain and weren’t allowed to play on grass, I’ll always remember that sense of unease. We also had two young kids from the Ukraine in our home for a while. Thinking back on that I feel so bad for them. They were so far from home and communication only worked through a paper dictionary. They didn’t shower for a while because they were told water was very expensive. Somehow their hovercraft was full of eels.

This has been my favorite Halloween comic for many years now.

I think the term is fine. Interaction is also too broad a term, as there are many ways to interact with something. The main intent here is to observe, interaction just follows from that.

And Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. So many conservative herpes!

Edit: I meant to type heroes, but this works too.

For me the first time was when I just sat down wrong. I started lifting weights and I’ve been fine since. Can highly recommend. I only wish I’d started sooner.

Exactly. I don’t know why anybody is surprised about this shit. They literally wrote down what they’d do once they came back into power. Project 2025 is their Mein Kampf.

The mail I got makes it quite clear that you have to opt-in if you’re using a paid version:

Dear JetBrains AI user,

We are notifying you that on October 7, 2025, we will roll out an updated version of the JetBrains AI Terms of Service. The main change is in the data sharing clause. Previously we said we wouldn’t use your inputs, data, outputs, or suggestions to train AI models. This is still the case, unless you explicitly allow us to do so.

• For individuals using JetBrains IDEs with commercial licenses, free trials, free community licenses, or EAP builds who do not explicitly consent to the new data collection model – nothing changes.
• For companies that are unwilling or, for legal reasons, unable to opt in to the program – nothing changes either, and their admins remain in full control.

Important to note that the data sharing is OFF by default on all types of JetBrains IDEs licenses except for non-commercial tier until you change the settings explicitly.

For more details about the change, please read this blog post.

Other updates to the JetBrains AI Terms of Service reflect some recent changes to the JetBrains AI service. For example, JetBrains AI can now be used not only with JetBrains products, but also with selected third-party products. The service also includes a new feature that allows you to upload various content for indexing.

For the existing users, the updates will take effect on October 7, 2025. By using JetBrains AI after this date, you agree to the updated JetBrains AI Terms of Service.

Highlight by me. Personally, I don’t see a reason to be outraged. I’ve even used their AI products and they’re OK. They can take over dumb tasks or help me not having to look up documentation.

You can also just use “random password x” with x being a number. What I use more often is “random uuid” which I hope is self explanatory.

My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don’t remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn’t care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.

Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It’s not working for me and I don’t have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can’t get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with “Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication”. Whatever that means. It won’t explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.
