@memes Hope those token strings aren’t important…

If I'm getting in strange trouble while coding or reviewing other peoples code - I often take a train "for fun" and solve the problems there...πŸ™ˆ

It's like a brain reboot to reduce the coding environment from 27" to 13"...πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

the sqlite codebase is a gem.

tldr; mcaffee made a shit ton of sqlite files in the temp folder causing people to call the sqlite devs phone angrily. now they name all files etilqs to prevent this.

SQLite code comment reading:

The default prefix used to be "sqlite_".  But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users.  Those users would then do a  Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" spelled backwards.  So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.

@memes Seriously!?!? A similar thing happened with Gaim/Pidgin and people who used the client with Lotus Sametime....

@memes Anyone of the #SQlite devs ever sued or got a permanent injunction against #McAfee for that shite?

@memes Having married a fellow bisexual certainly made for an easy adjustment when I figured out the enby thing.

-"Hey, babe. Turns out I'm really shitty at being a woman, but I'd also probably be shitty at being a man."

-"I know. Wanna order teriyaki and then play a video game with me?"

Imagining catch-up calls with old acquaintances:

Woman casually mentions her wifeβ€”

Friend: "Oh, I hadn't realized you'd gotten a divorce!"

Woman: "I didn't."

Friend: "Wait...you're polyβ€”?"

Woman, grinning: "No."

Friend: ... πŸ€” ... "Oh! Uh, congratulations! I guess?"

Woman: "Thank you! I'll tell her!"

@memes ok, so I'm assuming the one who transitioned is a girl. so can we like, not call her a husband??? don't think whoever wrote this really understands queerness, it just feels kinda insensitive

I read that as Decapitating, not very far off.

There was an early 1990s meme of Wang Labs laying off people in other local Massachusetts companies, because they'd run out of their own employees to lay off. It sort of rhymes :)

@memes @chfour it probably saw the word "risk" in some source material and panicked

@memes The AI ingested the old quote that C++ gives you "enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot" and drew the correct conclusion.

@memes Be glad the kernel did not advise to reap the zombies!

(TBH the lingo in Unix process management _is_ quite weird. Discussions about the finer points of process management can get pretty morbid pretty easily. Sometimes I wish it were different.)
