Nope. They document what words are in common use. English is a “form follows usage” kind of language, where popularity of a word makes it correct. That’s why “literally” can mean its own antonym and influencers get to make up new meanings for Fetch and Mid.
Less architectural, more suicide note.

Not a word.
Convince us your message is important enough to write but not so important as to fully spell all the words in it.
Obligatory Mitch. Thanks.
I was named after some guy before they found out he was a total dirtbag. My legal first name is so unused it sounds discordant when I hear it (like at a doctor’s office).
I really struggled with that until my friend Chuck showed me his own ID and I learned his last name. Yep, Manson.
I worked at a company run by a SWEngineer.
He was code-smart for code, but really bad for business.
You need to get a real CEO who does management, but keep that person in firm check by mandating half the board be stacked by engineers. Even as advisory roles, like if your company makes widgets you should have some Serious Fucking widget people dominating the board for big decisions.
“You make one thing” is like “you had one job.”
(And if you make two things so disparate, spin one off into a sub)
It’s the first time I hear systemd […] were spelling the death of […] linux
Where’ve you been? We’ve been expressing concern about its badly-built badly-architected metastatic creep for a decade of dwindling choice and competition as it slowly forced out dissent and clued concern.
Now it’s eaten autofs, DNS, cron, NTPd, and replaced them with shitty clones, and has carefully eroded our ability to recover from this mess.
System service managers like systemd, OpenRC, runit, or SysVinit often come down to user preference.
And coding best-practice. And a philosophy borne of bad luck and bad software that aims to resist monoculture.
But that lennart kid is cool for a Microsoft employee.
Ya gotta pick a lane, dude!
Due to target fixation, I bet they were already hit more often.
Trolltech made a great phone, apparently.
And I’m sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown number.
You’ve gotta be diligent: if you do business with something, like a project or an appointment, you need to drop their number into your contact list. Every time. Yeah, it’s neat if you need to reach out to them, which will be never because it’s on the phone, but it’s primarily so they can call you and not be unknown.
I’d love a QR code with the org’s phone/mail/blah number on it at the front desk, because I do in-person a lot because fuck the phone.
I had a phone set up as a tablet. It couldn’t send or receive SMS or calls. It was a beautiful decade.
Then microsoft killed skype-in and skype-out, because they worked really well and the glitter-junkies who’ve shat something new and broken and slow onto the public needed less competition with working apps. Had to get a new plan with a number that worked. Received a shit call and it went to voicemail on the way from the store to the train.
I had voicemail enabled for 10 minutes and it was hell.
backup
That’s a noun, my dude. The space bar is right there.
sudo su -
Fun fact. There HAS been a sploit based on the brief moment you’ve elevated to root before backing down to another account. This should be avoided, and those using it need ridicule for social correction. It’s like people who say ‘emails’ or ‘the ask’: just remind them how dumb they are and maybe they’ll stop.

Race conditions are neat.
“Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they’re homeless and doing drugs in the first place.”
If conservatives were really about ending homelessness and getting them paying taxes instead of ‘just’ consuming benefits, then they’d be in on this plan of phased rehab and rehousing to accomplish that. It’s an investment they don’t seem to see and I worry they look down on addict as trash not victims, and merely want the homeless* to silently vanish.
*I know it’s not the latest popular word that privileged people use to feel better. Homeless apparently aren’t offended as long as people are talking about the situation and investing time in their future, because stick and stones.
Thank you for caring and offering that correction. OP’s success needs this feedback, and I hope he takes it to heart.
I know someone with a master’s degree from university.
Well, he cut me a golden master copy of the track, anyway.
