Yeah, Yoda became a parody of his character in ESB.

In ESB he comes across as someone that’s speaking in a second language. Sometimes he mixes up the grammar, especially when emotional and trying to speak quickly, but when he’s more relaxed and speaking slowly (or saying something simple) he usually gets it right.

In other portrayals it feels more like he’s got brain damage.

The world is changed: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air… Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. Thusly the government of Gondor shall not excise a tax upon my pouch of gold for their statutes shall not apply to my person henceforth.

For some reason I’m picturing the elves as white trash sovereign citizen types refusing to pay their taxes.

As they fade away… “The flag of Gondor doesn’t have a gold fringe on it and you didn’t write my name in all capitals at a 45 degree angle in red ink therefore this court doesn’t have the authority to…” poof!

Yeah it’s just being angry about the fact that the Earth is rotating ball. Wanting to abolish timezones is different from Flat Earth only be degrees.

Sure the “what time is it there?” question goes away, but it’s replaced by “what are your business hours?”

Ultimately it will be daytime in one part of the world while it’s night in another part of the world. That will always cause problems.

This is actually the best approach.

Obviously they are getting timezone information otherwise the app could only display whatever time the user entered in.

If you want to sort things by the actual time, it’s simple and performant if all of the times are in the same timezone, and UTC would be the standard one to use. Pushing the timezone calculations to the client makes sense because the UTC time is correct, it’s just a matter of displaying it in a user friendly way, ie. show the time in the user’s timezone.

Yeah today after getting three bad answers in a row from ChatGPT I was quoting Thanos… “Fine. I’ll do it myself.”

Given how low level it is and the timespan involved, there probably wasn’t a specific use in mind. Just adding capability for a future attack to be determined later.

Before resting on our laurels, we should consider it’s possible it’s more widespread but just not being disclosed until after it’s patched.

It would be wise to be on the lookout for security patches for the next few days.

This is about 50% of what I use ChatGPT for. Something I’ve done many times before, but I just need a quick reminder about the exact syntax.

The other 50% is just creating DTOs that have properties that are suitable for parsing JSON or XML or can be used to dump data from SQL into. The boring shit.

But as soon as someone gets to an intermediate level and start thinking for themself and make those exact same mistakes.

“We’ve been doing things wrong this whole time! I figured out a better way!” Then spend a lot of time implementing the “better” way only to find out it performs like shit and actually takes more work to implement and maintain anything.

Everyone has to do that at least once.

It’s not too bad for learning a new language, but you still have to make an effort to understand why the code it’s giving you works… or doesn’t work which can happen often.

Of course not, it’s the GNU[NU…]IMPTK.

I’ve never had much success with this. It starts out fine and then I’m like “I’m being stupid, I should write some code to write this code for me.” Then later “I should write some code that will write the code that’ll write the code for me.” Then I get lost in all the abstraction and say “fuck it, I’ll just play a video game”.

There’s a difference between software that’s designed to be easy for people that haven’t seen it before and software that’s meant to be used by someone that’s been trained to use it.

CAT 9 isn’t reliable. There’s a hard limit at 9, no one really knows why. It’s best to stay below that limit to have a safety margin.

Relax, it’s Cat-6 compliant.

Oof… well you can just say “it must be some hardware problem or something… maybe a reboot will fix it.”

We’ve all experienced the walk of shame to the server room to hook up a monitor keyboard.
