For something end-user facing: I could understand this argument.

In this case they were more or less just calling a C function that had an unsigned long long as the parameter they were setting negative.

The whole ‘bug’ was that the other side of the function call was seeing a positive number no matter what.

The real situation was a bit more complicated, but that’s the gist.

I once had a QA engineer file a bug saying they couldn’t do negative testing since negative numbers were converted to positive.

The function took an unsigned integer. Took a lot of explaining to get them to understand that negative testing isn’t necessarily negative numbers.

If ya want to not be plugged into the internet, or use new external media, ya can probably run it safely forever.

For some reason a collective of cats sounds like some sort of organized crime group that wears suits.

My cat doesn’t wear a suit, though probably partakes in organized crime. 🤔

I figure maybe towards the end of my lifetime laws will catch up to allow some form of real digital ownership. Until then: you lose it when they go out.

99/100 people will not care. I’m one of them.

For that 1/100: sure it’s infuriating but probably more than mildly.

I’ve never had a case where running that fixed anything. I get it makes sense to verify system integrity but I’m guessing the OS already does that on its own once in a while.

If I ever watch one Mr. Bean YouTube video, all my suggestions become Mr. Bean. I mean he’s ok but they literally have the same video uploaded to multiple channels with slightly different names.

Give me more different Mr. Bean. Stop repeating the Bean.

Through the magic of make, you can write code that changes if statements to while loops then changes it back after compilation passes or fails.

I only give good advice.

I think the same about basically every new smartphone at this point. Since when have we had real innovation there?

How is signal considered part of the fediverse?

It’s one of those things that are pretty annoying. Especially because you often need to login before starting the chat. The login should have authenticated me already.

Also in case anyone wonders they didn’t reply after 20 minutes so I gave up.

Some people are hard of hearing. It annoys me but I know people who turn on speakerphone immediately since they say they can’t otherwise hear.

I’ll give a sort of recommendation to using a safety razor and cheap blades instead. However I’ve been doing it for years and still cut myself.

I yearn for a razor that can use safety razor blades and wouldn’t cut me up.

I already have these razors that use those blades already: Leaf, OneBlade, Maxwell June, and Proof razors… and yet they all cut me up about the same as my regular safety razor.

Anyways razors are kind of cool. Wonder if there is a Lemmy community for shaving.

I’m a fan of those foot things that exist in some places now to pull the door open. Though every time I use one, I fear for a moment that if someone enters the bathroom at the same time I’m leaving, I’ll fall on my face.

It’s been too many years since I’ve played on a tire swing.

I would have thought the something is wrong category would catch all here.

Maybe there should be a miscategorized option or similar.

Three dots in the corner. Click to report the job, pick the category it falls into.

Believe it or not: people do eventually see reports at some level.

Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.
