There are far less than 255 countries in the world, and most countries do not have 255 regions.

On the other hand, most regions have more than 255 subnets, and with NAT these days, most subnets have faaaaar more than 255 devices

You know, I’ve always read that COBOL projects still get maintained to this day because the costs of rewriting these projects just are too high. I wonder if there’s a cutoff point where maintaining them starts costing more than the rewrite. I just don’t see how organizations can justify maintaining these projects without these kind of changes forever.

This is also how I feel watching discussions of how to contribute to Lemmy and what needs doing, when I previously thought I was a halfway competent web dev.

How did this person get into my projects in Eclipse?

I’m serious, I’m graduating with a CS degree in the fall and I really don’t feel like I’ve accomplished a whole lot.

plz help

Possibly a Cthulu merge?

It’s pulled, and it’s fine, but there’s clearly a balance between “octopus merges are fine” and “Christ, that’s not an octopus, that’s a Cthulhu merge”.

your glass is terrible you should instead try this glass which is much more complex and doesn’t help with what you requested with but I think it’s better

I understand needing to simplify the definition of these terms for the laypeople, but this was the best they could do? It seems they could not even bother with checking for misspellings.

Sometimes, you’ve gotta fix it yourself

I can only wonder what sort of bug drove them that far.
