I'm not that unfit so I can only guess that someone fed this dreadmill my academic record
I should point out the bot, too:

I BSL sign a day, great to expand your vocab or remind you of what you already know.
Is there a service around that syndicates Twitter accounts to the fediverse?
There's a bot I really love on twitter I'd like to follow here. I'd write and host a bot myself for it but it would be cool if a service already existed for that.
I couldn't do a free space with this card generator
what's with all the #illustrated #introduction posts? It's super pretty but wats the occasion?
BIOS idea: Instead of presenting a list of inscrutable options for boot media to the user, have a mode that will scan every option for likely success, and list them instead.
I don't know what the difference between USB-HDD, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM are, and I don't really care. Dumping back to the hard drive to load the old OS because I didn't guess the right one isn't what I want and means I need to run another 60-second cycle to boot and reboot back into the selection menu.
I passed a job interview today, now I need to do an assessment centre thing in a month or so where they'll end up telling me I'm a pass but uncompetitive in my chosen role!
I can't wait!
Welcome @luminarys to cmpwn.com!
Hey nerds, I'm looking for the name of a specific travelling salesman problem variant, and no one has a clue so far: given some number of cities, find n routes of m unique cities, such that you have the smallest total distance.
For example, given 300 cities, find 10 routes of 7 cities, for 70 total unique cities, with the shortest total path.
btw fedi, the freenode #live conference now has a CFP open! It's the second year this year running, and we had a blast last year. We're sure that everyone's going to enjoy this one too: https://freenode.live/cfp.html
this is the second week in a row my friends and I have come to our local student pub and they can't serve us food because, in essence, the cook couldn't be fucked.
At what point do I just up and leave? It's not in my British nature to complain, but I might write a strongly worded letter.
Hearing the difference now isn’t the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses near lossless compression, while MP3 is ‘lossy’. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA – it’s about 12kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don’t want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s in about 2006, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. It's ridiculous. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

Cool freenode fact: you can set usermode +w (typically `/umode +w` or `/mode yournick +w`) to opt in to extra wallops/global messages about interesting but non-critical events happening on the network!
It's low volume, but you'll be far more aware of the various events and happenings on the network such as upcoming sessions with our on-topic groups, questionnaires/feedback, etc.
hey @kaniini , why's alis called alis?
