It’s gone

Depends how far you want to keep going back ….Wessex dudes talking about Russia and Ukraine like we don’t still occupy all of Mercia.

Wait do you mean “kates” or “Kay-Eights”? I think either makes sense and I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow

If you said it like “Kuhh-Eights” I would probably laugh

I think software name pronunciation discussions are so hilariously absurd that I sometimes purposefully vocalise nginx as “Nuhh Ginks” just to put a hat on it

Oh damn, I’m gonna be thinking of it as that now too

Oracle actually making products and services is only their side hustle

When this baby hits 200rps, you’re gonna get some hairs on your chest

Of course… even an Arabic programming language has a recursive acronym name

Yes indeed. I took out Manus in 3 attempts, but man Artorias… that took me a while lol

Artorias… hardest one SO FAR

They should’ve called it 197

Nah you can just rely on a revolving door of new shiny interests and peer pressure your friends into picking up the fad too… because that’s healthy

A guy on my team was absolutely convinced the external monitors he had were 1080p and not 1680*1050 resolution, and that everyone else using 1680*1050 were just wrong. He got into an argument with IT service desk over HDMI cables, which he wanted to prove himself correct (since everyone else were supposedly chumps for accepting the tyranny of having to use DVI cables for their monitors, thus forcing them to use the lower resolution). The argument escalated and well, he kind of just disappeared after that and never came back.

The IT service desk folks were already touchy about their HDMI cables since people were apparently stealing them for use in the meeting rooms.

Pity, I liked him but that was kind of unhinged. Besides, the monitors’ native res was definitely 1680*1050 lol.
