  • Woah, I can see myself having that perspective in a couple of years when I get the courage to try non-masculine clothes. Unless the thigh-high socks I find are magic, letting me try being a passing girl instantly so I can evaluate the experience.

  • Yes, if the wish is recursive, all water gets replaced with dense slabs of dried milk.

  • Throwing stones from the Tower of Pisa (in the thumbnail)? That's a classic science experiment!

  • Right, the famous doomscrolling devices that jump of your pocket when you have important things to do

  • Be a better husband than AI. Fun fact: you can buy a vibrator and use it with your wife if you're afraid of that too.

  • In my school, "uhu" us what we call white-colored Blu-Tack™-like sticky putty because we used to buy it from that company (now Pritt is apparently cheaper). And we pronounce the "h" because Czech is almost always phonetic.

  • Yes, I forgot sýc, which has 3 letters too. And there are multiple výr and sýc species but only one of each in Czechia. And both are among the 150 or so exceptions to "i/í after b/f/l/m/p/s/v/z" spelling that third-graders have to memorize (keyword "vyjmenovaná slova"). Yes, sova is the name for any member of the Strigiformes order. And we don't normally put the adjective after the noun, only in Linnean binomial classification.

  • It's Výr (well, Výr velký in full binomial) in Czech, knowm by third graders learning spelling exceptions (because vír (twirl) is pronounced the same)

  • The onomatopoeic name of Uhu makes me smile every time

  • I have an HP iPAQ PDA that also has dome buttons and can emulate the Game Boy or NES, as well as play native games (Chuzzle, Bejeweled, Solitaire, Freecell, Kevtris, SimCity 2000). Mine just barely lacks the RAM to allocate a 4MB block for a WAD (supplying a smaller WAD doesn't help) so I can't play Chocolate DOOM. Maybe a repartitioning hack (allowing installation to SD) or one that deletes system programs (such as Calculator, Pocket Word or IE) could help? (The "storage" is a flexible RAMdisk, and running the battery down or just unplugging the charger when a key is pressed down erases everything in it, the system then reinstalls from ROM and all but the SD contents is lost. At least with a third-party registry editor, I can restore settings in minutes. So yeah, freeing some of the 16MB storage could yield enough RAM.)

    Anyways, as LGR says about his (pretty much the same as mine but with built-in Wi-Fi that doesn't need an SDIO card), the buttons just suck. But it's mostly due to poor layout (thumbs too close, OK key protruding from the D-pad) and lack of rollover (only pressing the leftmost and rightmost keys has an action: on battery power, it clears RAM and disables all functionality until the charger is connected: does it short the battery??), I suppose the N-Gage solved both issues and dome buttons aren't inherently bad.

  • Oh! I thought the ⑤ and ⑦ keys were so that the user puts their index and middle fingers there to recreate the gesture in OP's image but now I see the key rows themselves resembling the fingers.

  • In the 90s, March did start with a Monday in '93 (ruled out due to Start button and Windows key) and '99. But it's unlikely you'd see TV static (with a decently emulated camera shutter effect) behind an error dialog window - is it the desktop background?

  • West Bank, Gaza Strip, Terra nullius?

  • So much "nerd" paraphernalia is BS... This one is ridiculous (one doesn't get to "be a programmer" by sorting and collecting 10 personality traits as if they're goals or achievements) but at least it shows varied syntax in the C language: the number of unique keywords is very high.

    To show you're a nerd, don't go with obvious "look, this is what I am" but use dogwhistles (Conway's Game of Life or fractals can look like knitting patterns) or to be obvious, some things you personally like or made. Badge with your distro's logo or mascot, code you actually wrote or its output, wearable blinkenlights project... Just be more focused on your interests than yourself.

  •  c
        
    #define unlocked endl
    
      

    Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke

  • You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

     c
        
    int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);
    
      

    To get the length of an array in C, it's necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

    BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you're bored.
