  • End of Line (EOL) sensitive software perhaps?

    We had the opposite problem, things edited in notepad would fail miserably once deployed to the target Linux servers. Nowadays git checkout settings on the build servers tend to get rid of those, but I remember it was the one thing that would occasionally explode.


  • In Mexico there is a phrase “comete un taco” (eat a taco) since a homemade taco is a tortilla with anything on it. We buy 1/2 - 1 kilo of (corn) tortillas for a family of four every day or every other day (depending on the food consumed) and it pairs really well with anything. E.g.:

    • Eggs, salsa and tortillas
    • Beans, cactus, salsa and tortillas
    • Beef stew with rolled up tortillas
    • Crunchy tortillas (slow comal/gridle heated to make them similar to a tostada, but without frying) with some sour cream, beans, lettuce and salsa
    • Cheese quesadilla, generally salsa too (or even hot sauce) - optionally beans and/or some meat
    • A taco similar to the one in the picture (maybe minus the cheese, but you could add it of course). These are a little harder to make since they call for specific meats or preparation, so they tend to be more commonly consumed from a vendor specializing in them.
    • etc.

    Since there is a tortilla in most homemade variations (the taco), everyday can be taco day. The salsa would mostly be served whatever you already have in the fridge, red, green, mild, spicy, etc. Sometimes flour tortillas are used, but corn is more common (and supposedly healthier according to the moms).
















  • As someone that has bought a graphics card as part of a build in these scenarios:

    • after having a first job
    • after graduating from college
    • about 9 years later as a professional

    The first 2 felt like a nice upgrade given my larger budget (200-300 more total for the entire computer). The last one felt like the worst purchase of my life. If gamers nexus is sometimes negative, it is for a good reason, we all feel it.

    I have a feeling they also had to buy their own components and have not forgotten that despite nvidia or amd fighting for stats, and streamers always having a top of the line build most gamers don’t (as shown by steam survey results over and over).
