@TrayKnots That's why OpenAPI auto gen has become more popular (e.g. fast api)

@retoor Yeah I have noticed the influx as well

@Liebranca From my experience upgrading "old" apps, I've found it's almost never worth trusting the comments - but worth reading them, since they often say something should do X but in reality it does X by doing Y and the issue is in the side effect Y.

I'm not really arguing against adding them, I'm arguing against trusting them as a developer using someone else's code

@Liebranca And then it turns out that isn't exactly what the code does ;P, but I find the developers' intent to be equally important to understand the whole setup rather than the individual function - almost like it should be in some kind of manual or readme outside the code ;P (I'm mainly teasing, but comments can be good, but have the explanation be the code is better in my book)

@retoor Then you should know what glowies are you fed ;P

@TrayKnots

It's not, not everyone votes even when legally required

@TrayKnots

> We achieved that by making us all deciders

That's not achievable

> And if we argue well, they will be convinced.

That is not guaranteed

> They will continue to convince others

That is not guaranteed

Again I don't disagree with the spirit of your argument, just in the cure you're trying to apply

@jestdotty Literally had that happen today, since they deprecated google/gapi auth now how you have to use firebase from what I can tell but how do you use that token to do a rest call (to trigger a pubsub from the browser) that used to just work.

Still haven't found the answer, will just proxy it through the backend on monday I think

@TrayKnots ~500 years ago, reading was a rare skill, books were rare, now we have access to info within 5 seconds - it's no longer a problem of access, that's an improvement from my point of view. Maybe over the next 500 years we will evolve to deal with the data influx

@Ranchonyx If you have a large conditional, you should probably turn it into a function, but don't make have to memorize your expression 10 lines up, that uses 3 derived variables that now has 5 different expressions in between that is only used once because now I need to manually keep track of your dependencies and makes it harder to update

@TrayKnots She has the right not to want to discuss it, but by her actions it seems she doesn't think you vote the same way and doesn't want the confrontation of you challenging her ideas. And in turn, neither of you change your voting opinion.

While your mom, makes the right choice to try and get informed before voting, she doesn't check how informed/biased that source is. Which IMO is bad™️but it is still her right to do.

Sharing and challenging ideas are a good way to refine them, but it is tiring. However, if you do a triathlathon you're not going to be willing to then go and do a 2-hour ocean swim, followed by rock climbing. It's the same for mental topics, like politics, and just like with physical sports, if you're tired, you're not going to perform well and will most likely injure yourself.

I don't disagree with your opinion in spirit but in possibility. If you force people to discuss politics, they will act like your mom and then not think about it

@Ranchonyx Mentioning features and common error situations/limitations nice.

The imports are a bit weird, with the description I was expecting :

import mjson from "@ranchonyx/mjson"

mjson.parseSync /mjson.parse (similar to FS api)

Therefore, it's good you show the whole input-process-output cycle

Pretty much what I'd want for a "small" library like this, the only thing that would be missing would be the list of supported config/options, but it doesn't look like you have any

@kiki Hey, writing an OS from scratch is no joke! AFAIK many people liked him (even as a lolcow, if that is the right term), and wanted to help, but I can't remember if he disappeared/died before they could assist or what happened. That's about all I remember

@TrayKnots 100% agree, hence the "" - and yeah, it definitely is, the same reason schools don't teach about taxes and securing funds/investing. I'd much rather vote on laws (that I care about) being put in place than have someone else represent me, but not everyone thinks that way, also remember that ~50% of people have less than 100IQ.

Many things are also about exposure (a huge failing in education IMO), if you grow up in an environment where people care about X then you will inherently know info about X and how to question X, but you won't know about Y. People hear about democracy, dictatorships, monarchy and maybe touch communism/socialism through history studies.

If it was up to me, many things like education should have input from the public in how they should be ran, with maybe stronger votes for those who have proven knowledge on a subject

@12bitfloat "You can see them when you're driving - you run 'em over, that's what you do"

@retoor Terry used to livestream, and with his mental problems used to say some deranged shit

Have you been reading the google docs as well? Here is a quick start using 5-year-old syntax and 2 deprecated versions behind, oh you want actual docs, here is a list of functions instead

@TrayKnots Well yeah, it's a way of removing accountability for people in charge. Half the shit that gets pulled today would have gotten a king executed, IMO. However, at this point it's "best" system we have for allowing the masses to weigh in - but there is no direct accountability to those who are elected

@retoor Fed ;P

I'm fairly sure that returning in an if-else-tree has some performance optimisations that can be applied that can't if you don't (e.g. tail call optimisation).

I've never found if-return-else-return to be that difficult to read, and it's clearer to me that that is the intent and I can stop keeping those variables in memory. So I disagree with your linter

@kanyewest e.g. when money gets below X, find a new job

@TrayKnots Forcing people to vote is the issue, since trying to find all the information about everything political is impossible and an unreasonable expectation.

You can escape zealots, you do that by excluding them from decent society.

Your voice does matter, yes, but if you don't care about the topic, there is no need to say anything. You abstaining to vote is also part of democracy - the same with most voting systems, what that means changes for every group (e.g. vote is excluded from the totals, counts as a point the "current" party).

And yes, that is also why votes used to be tied to assets, to show you have "skin in the game" and it would be beneficial to have knowledge on the topic. Never mind, trying to get something for the collective good rather than personal good

@Lensflare Yeah, it's fairly surprising since it's intertwined with their (historic) culture, but from what I remember it was pushed on them when they needed to rebuild. It's also related to how their court systems work, even if it is a miss-interpreted version of it.

@kanyewest Have a plan for what happens when things don't work out, and set a clear level at which you will enact it

@retoor Didn't he become homeless (because they cut his health funds or something) and then get hit by a train or car?

@jestdotty @TrayKnots "Do not discuss religion or politics." is short for don't do stupid shit that could get our server banned because the type of people who control/moderate discord is the same as reddit. Also, people who deeply care about religion/politics are often zealots/emotionally invested that will cause schisms in the group for reasons completely unrelated to the main goal of the group (playing a game). The fact they disallow heated topics is inherently part of democracy.

Reddit is retarded though since it's meant to be "the face of the internet" then it should allow all discussions, but then advertisers pull funding (a big reason for the Draconian rules about content).

Also it's often ego boosting to the these retards to block you after posting for the exact reason you said "I owned this guy and now he can't respond"

@jestdotty Yeah, AFAIK a lot of it comes from the America influence after WW2 (e.g. censoring porn and banning prostitutes)

@retoor It's cheaper for companies to hire you directly, a lot of recruiters get ~30% of your yearly salary for a couple of years when hired through them

@jiraTicket That's what I've heard as well, but that's why it's a full article. Rather than just term spam, + probably old advice from yesteryear

@retoor Trying it out now.

Mentioned you at work, and they wanted to know if you would like to join us during our "open space", it's essentially a 2-hour call where the first hour is checks ins and the 2nd being a selection of topics that we want to talk about

Also, saw this and was reminded that you're 150cm

@retoor Thanks for letting me know about him, it's the type of content I used to watch before youtube's algorithm went to shit. Editing is honestly the biggest issue. I'll give him a watch tomorrow during work. Code its self generally isn't the interesting bit when streaming, it's the person explaining their reasoning.
