Are you a sysadmin? Cause I’d like to $ top you.

This is what hell looks like

OOP methods?

I thought that was a joke while I was learning Rust, but then it actually happened to me :3

I literally just described the scientific method. Sure, it’s not the kind of question most scientists would ask, but it’s the same scientific method.

IPv6 might work

I’m gonna go look at cat pictures now

Yeah, I don’t want to hear about the murderous CEO!

Hypothesis: adding this part or doing that thing will make it do what I want.

Experiment: do that change and see if it does the thing you want.

If it doesn’t do what you want, go back to hypothesis step. If that’s not science, idk what is.

Is the period part of the quote?

Is 31° positive or negative?

It bugs me that people will call anything with a positive second derivative “exponentially increasing”. I can do one better: it increases busy-beaver-y! Is that fast enough for people??

Then projects would just not update to the new standard, pretty easy solution. Is webp even changing anymore?

And how would Google start collecting license fees? They already give away this IP, so they can’t just undo that.

What are they gonna do, add proprietary extensions? Nobody will support those. It’s open, and it only works by being open. It’s actually in Google’s interests for it to be open, widespread, and an effective format because it saves them bandwidth and improves UX on their actual proprietary stuff like YouTube.

You might not have a choice if they all decide to do it. Companies are actually kinda good at that kind of collective actions sometimes.
