You could try FreeBSD 15!

On: I'm a Tech Lead, and nobody listens to me. What should I do?

[junga]

Same. Strong SAFe vibes. Hopefully I'll never have to 'work' in such a environment again.

On: Britain's railway privatization was an abject failure

[junga]

Seriously can't tell if sarcastic or not.

[epolanski → junga]

It's not. Spain, France and Italy have private operators and they are doing fine.

Humans are super bad at drawing bikes: https://www.gianlucagimini.it/portfolio-item/velocipedia/

Does being bad at drawing bikes make a machine more intelligent/human?

Per Siemens? I'd prefer Ohm!

On: Pop OS 24.04 LTS Beta

[junga]

Yes it does. We could argue if it’s update or upgrade, but I think it’s clear what you mean.

you're right, i meant apt upgrade

On: Quicksort explained IKEA-style

[junga]

I miss the default IKEA instruction to have two people for building even the tiniest piece of furniture.

How many people do you need to assemble a BILLY bookshelf?

Three!

One to read the manual.

One to be instructed by the first on how assemble it.

One to break up the fight when the first two get into fisticuffs over step 4 in the manual.

Do you have a source for that five to seven years period? I skimmed your link but it does not seem to prove your point.

[bryanrasmussen → junga]

I don't really have a single source for the 5 - 7 years, I've read it before and kept it in my mind, the article I linked was for the shrinking brand loyalty as I thought that might need more confirmation, that said

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/heres-how-often-americans-re...

which implies less than 5 years for 2/3s of Americans, although not sure what the average is.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that most people will own 10 cars in their lifetime but querying How many cars does the average person own in their lifetime gives me 8.

Assuming car buying age is from 18 to 72, that gives 54 years of car buying, and 8 gives us 6.75 years per car if the average owns 8 cars. 5.4 years if the average owns 10 cars.

On: Help us raise $200k to free JavaScript from Oracle

[junga]

Sorry, this seriously is an honest question: Is there a typo in your post? Otherwise I must come to the conclusion that you suggest pronouncing JS as 'jiss'.

[fair_enough → junga]

Can't we all get along? "jizz" and "gay-ass" are both perfectly good.
