#852An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first mathematician orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. "I don't serve half-beers" the bartender replies. "Excuse me?" Asks mathematician #2. "What kind of bar serves half-beers?" The bartender remarks. "That's ridiculous." "Oh c'mon" says mathematician #1 "do you know how hard it is to collect an infinite number of us? Just play along". "There are v…
Hey, it's not cool to steal jokes from /r/antiantijokes. I am a mod there (as evident from my username), and don't appreciate this. The joke is hilarious though.
I'm surprised you think no one on r/antiantijokes stole that joke to put it there

#853A programmer walks into a bar and ask for a drink. The bartender says I'll give you a drink if you tell me a programmer joke. And he says: a programmer walks into a bar and ask for a drink. The bartender says I'll give you a drink if you tell me a programmer joke. And he says: a programmer walks into a bar and ask for a drink. So he gives the guy a drink, so he gives the guy a drink, so he gives the guy a drink.
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second one orders half a beer. The third one orders a fourth of a beer. The bartender stops them, pours two beers and says, “You guys should know your limits.”
There is a bunch of funny problems regarding Hilbert Hotel, with countably infinite number of suits :) .

#854What's the difference between an introverted programmer and an extroverted programmer? The extroverted programmer looks at your shoes when he's talking to you.
Heard this but with with NSA agents instead of programmers :-)

#855A physicist, an engineer and a programmer were in a car driving over a steep alpine pass when the brakes failed. The car was getting faster and faster, they were struggling to get round the corners and once or twice only the feeble crash barrier saved them from crashing down the side of the mountain. They were sure they were all going to die, when suddenly they spotted an escape lane. They pulled into the escape lane…
Wasn't it: Let's close [all] windows and open it/them again and try anew?

#857I don't understand why people find DNS so difficult, it’s just cache invalidation and naming things. source: https://twitter.com/jdub/status/739110670562557952?s=20
Great joke. Told it on a zoom meeting today. Got a big laugh from half the people... the programmers.

#859Sometimes when I'm writing JavaScript I feel like throwing my hands up and saying "This is bullshit!" But I never know what "this" refers to.
Thanks for a solid chuckle!

#860Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have a 37 year old car. The (classic looking) Bluetooth radio is by far the most complicated electronics on board. When I switch off the car, for safety, anti-theft and leaking, the battery is disconnected entirely with a key. The radio looses everything: paired devices, position of radio tuner, volume, BT/aux/radio mode etc. Whenever you start the car, you'll need to mash at least five buttons and knobs to either…
You haven’t wired it properly. If there is no constant power wire just run one from the battery.
I have it wired like this deliberately.
As I pointed out, some pieces and parts keep using electricity. Amongst which is the radio. This will drain the battery. Slowly, but surely. If I don't use the car in 14 days, it (probably) won't start; but with this wiring it does, just fine.
Which is why I installed a [don't know the english word]¹, so that my battery is switched off entirely. Everything in the car is fine with that. Except for this "modern radio".
Hiding that switch in a somewhat unexpected place also delays theft. 37 y/o cars are easy to steal; this makes it slightly less so.
