The tape is a sticky situation. But grounding them is pretty easy. Just keep the windows, doors, and cat flaps closed.

Kitty is just following instructions by bathing Amster.

Why the complicated if statements to check the sign? Just let the number overflow. Would be functionaly the same, and result in much prettier code.

Weird music to be headbanging on.

sudo kill THEY

Followed by a witchhunt for the person who has been messing the with airco, causing my feet to go cold.

Social dancing. Salsa, bachata and kizomba. You can dance yourself into a sweat without running out of breath.

Welcome to linux!

It is pretty damn good at autocompleting. A very helpfull, but not world shocking tool.

Coporate software engineer: Direct interface connection without a safety adapter inbetween.

Boardgame groups are great for low-stress social interactions. You don’t need to be good at anything. And when the social aspect becomes too much, you can focus on the game for a bit. The people you meet are also likely to be tolerant and understanding towards any social issues you have, as you are likely not the only one with a label.

Not just facelifting, but entire bodylifting!

Similarly to how paprika chips come in blue bags and salted chips come in red bags. Anything else is heresy. Unless you live right across the border, where it’s exactly the opposite.

Teflon Mark (Rutte) is the perfect guy for this job. Nothing sticks to him anyway. Somehow every single fuckup his governments made were always blamed on someone else. And any mistakes he made, he “has no active recollection of”. So these suck-up letters aren’t going to be blamed on Rutte; he was just doing his job: managing Trump.

There is a high demand for teachers in The Netherlands. This demand mostly exists because the job conditions have gotten a lot worse, while pay has not increased accordingly. But if he has found a good place, is not worked into a burnout, and makes enough money to live happily, then he should have a very stable job.

Maybe there is a boardgame café somewhere inbetween the two of you. Gives you plenty to do, and usually is not very expensive.

Then for food, hit a supermarket and find a park or bench to make a sandwhich or some other food that can be eaten straight from the supermarket packaging. If you are planning PBJs, all you need to bring, is a spreading knife.

You are in a contract with the government. Maybe an involuntary one, but still a contract. This contract gives you rights and benefits, but also obligations and responsibilities.

When the government does not uphold their end of the contract, or changes it to essentially only obligations for you and no benefits, then it becomes extortion. Still not exactly theft, but closer to what you mean.

However, the vast majority of people get benefits that far outweight the costs of the contract. Safety, transportation, education, utilities, etc.

But how does the Rust compiler do that? What does it actually check? Could I write a compiler in C that does this check on a piece of Rust code?

C is so simplictic, that if I can write a piece of functionality in C, I must understand its inner workings fully. Not just how to use the feature, but how the feature works under the hood.

It is often pointless to actually implement the feature in C, since the feature already has a good implementation (see the Rust compiler for the memory safety). But understanding these features, and being able to mentally think about what it takes in C to implement them, is still helpfull for gaining an understanding of the feature.

I mean, at the end of the day, if you really understand your language of choice, you know that it is jusf a bunch of fancy libraries and compiler tricks of top of C. So in my mind, I’m a fully evolved programmer in a language, when I could write anything I can write in that language in C instead.

I have this experience with a certain type of pedestrian traffic light “button”.

I quote button, because nothing physically moves when you press it. I’m not sure if it registers pressure or heat, but you don’t even feel anything move when you press it.

Usually when you press the button, a red text lights up on the button, telling you to wait. This text gives you feedback that the button registered your press, and the traffic light will schedule a green light for you.

However, sometimes you didn’t press hard enough, and the text doesn’t light up. Simple solution: press harder.

But there is a scenario where it doesn’t matter how hard you press, the button won’t light up. You keep staring at it, while slamming the damn thing with the fury of a Hulk wealding Mjolnir. Still, nothing lights up. The reason: the light instantly went green, so it never needed to light up the text telling you to wait. And all that time slamming your fist on the button, could have been spend crossing the intersection. Instead you have been standing there, looking like a drunk person having a fistfight with an inanimate object.
