Call me crazy, but I think they should be kids.

Oh, it’s not a real (albeit miniscule) shock? Disappointing.

They were naked when practicing athletics. I don’t know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I’ll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.

Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

Naturally.

All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

I’d call it “rawdog running” if anything, but that doesn’t sound right either.

I just recently looked into Secure Boot and from my understanding it’s not a Microsoft lock-in. Many Linux distributions are signed with keys that are loaded by default, and advanced users can even add custom signatures to their computer so Secure Boot would accept them. The original fear around Secure Boot was legitimate, but by now we know the worst outcome of it didn’t come to pass.

That said, I did disable it on my new PC because I think the chance of it causing issues is greater than the chance it will actually protect me from bootloader malware, and I’m willing to accept that risk and responsibility.

All mathematical theorems should be intuitively explained with animal cruelty.

I think you’ll find that that’s exactly how this works.

I never knew it used to be a storage standard. Turns out it was renamed to PATA at some point.

As someone else said, IDE refers to development software like Visual Studio, Eclipse, and others. Nowadays a lot of text editors (VS Code/ium, Sublime Text, and many others) come with enough features to pass as an IDE too, but some people still somehow differentiate between them.

Sure, it would have, but I was following the time-honored tradition of reading only the title and the Lemmy comments without clicking through to the full article. If that comment hadn’t been there, it is possible that my intrigue and confusion would have been sufficient to make me betray my legacy and bring shame to my family by actually reading the linked article. Disaster avoided!

Oh, thanks, I needed that to understand what this was talking about.

My university recently switched most of the student enrollment and stuff to SAP, even though they had a very nice system that was launched only a couple of years prior. SAP is so awful, my god. Apparently the switch was mandated by the government or some crap like that. I’m honestly baffled.

I definitely do for quick scripts, but I try to break this habit. The biggest advantage of def main() is that variables are local and not accessible to other functions defined in the same script, which can sometimes help catch bugs or typos.

sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.

those uniform waves are creeping me out

I really can’t explain more than I already have. If you want to learn more, Wikipedia is a great resource for this. The article I linked and other articles linked within it would be the place to start.

So just a website?

Websites of all types are hosted by servers. These servers can run any kind of software they want in order to serve web pages to users. There are countless different options for server software (see just some of the options on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_server_software?wprov=sfla1), and they can run on different operating systems (Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, macos, …). Two servers can serve very similar or even identical websites but run completely different software, and similarly, two servers can use the same software but serve totally different websites.

Basically it’s a free-for-all.

Hard to answer without some context. Got any examples for “formal website”?

In the fediverse an “instance” is any server which is running the software in question. For example, fosstodon is an instance of Mastodon. mastodon.social is also an instance of Mastodon.
