A few years ago I saw a fact floating around on the internet that Facebook even keeps a track of all that you type in the status field even if you backspace. Don't know about it's validity but given Facebook's infamy, it's not that implausible.

For all my years of insomnia during childhood, I have been granted access to the premium queue since I end up falling asleep so easily while others have to wait in the regular queue.

@frogstair @SortOfTested wait so Obama is real? :0

I guess the trick is to tell it to work for few minutes nonetheless.

@F1973 damn I just checked and yeap.

Looks like I've been away for wayyyyy too long 😅

Amazing tool. Have it bookmarked for the next time the *Get High* option will be useful. :)

Just a suggestion: Add async loading and progress indicators. It was freezing up when I was fiddling around with the params, more so when I tried to upload a new image. Which I guess is to be expected, but it'd greatly help the UX if there was a way to see how longer to wait, or at the very least, to not freeze my low tier phone's browser.

2020 is the attempt of running Doom on that system

Let me redirect you to https://dev.to as probably a better place for this kind of stuff.

PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME I'M JUST SHITPOSTING

"What people call OOP is is just a bottomless abstraction pit that deludes programmers to feel like they are in control. It hits hard Ducky, then the mania slowly fades, leaving you stranded in your own prison of endless class inheritances and object states.

I did it, everyone in this generation did it. Break the cycle Ducky. Rise above. Focus on functional programming."

I feel this one. Deep in my heart.

Nice

@theabbie sounds like a fork of the infinite monké theorum repo

@theuser the feline beings care not for our puny human chores, and totally not enough to disrupt their sleep over that

@SortOfTested one wouldn't usually think that learning programming is easier than learning English, but oh well.

Going off a tangent, this reminds me of a geopolitical analysis video of the Pearl River Megacity project that China wants to be their version of Silicon Valley on steroids. One significant point raised was that no matter how good the Chinese manufacturing is, they just don't have what it takes to build that culture of intellectual and innovative prowess, mainly due to their authoritarian mindset.

They can build a lot and they can build it cheap, but they aren't anywhere near to building as good.

In that case I have some bad news regarding the name of Democratic People's Republic of Korea

@theuser do you happen to have the Road Anarchy mod installed? Sounds like something you'd enjoy.

@heyheni @theuser the only cities I build are monotonous utilitarian sovietesque dead husks of a city because O C D 👁️👄👁️

Amidst the carnage and chaos of the devil's script will one forge the weapon of wielding the frontend war.

The lords atop the Mountain of the Views in the fabled land of California will for it to be so.

So long so they remain unchallenged, we must bow to their twisted whims and games.

Prestige is a commodity, as well. The expensive pricing is not for the physical product, but the associated social prestige that comes with it.

I can understand your frustration as I sit here with the whole team working under a deadline to revive a dysfunctional report generation app that was written by the least experienced dude, because we decided to hand that project to him to keep him busy, assuming that it wasn't possible to screw up something as simple like this.

And now that the business development team needs the reports urgently, we discover that the whole application is a shit dump where not even the basic login works properly.

People who take up coding to just make some easy bucks for the minimum level of effort are terrible terrible people with a special place in hell for them.

Add another useless feature to post photos with the variations of quack written in it.

I sent this to a friend and he admitted to doing the same AND teaching that to the interns.

Yeah, there was a lot of one-way swearing involved in that conversation.

What I think could actually be useful is a cheatsheet with a list of curse words used by the sysadmin, and the possible corresponding technical issue(s).

Take an external backup of everything valuable on your hard disk. Might save you a lot of trouble in case things go south.

@p100sch I may not condone what you did, but I can understand. I can completely understand.

If you set up a machine to do a cognitive task like detecting faces or reverse engineering the human genome, it'll do that task to near perfection. A thousand clones of that machine will each do that task to near perfection.

Whereas with humans, most of our intellectual prowess comes from a really small portion of the population. That small percent of smart people can eventually outdo the machines as well, but then the rest of the majority of the population is dumb.

In both the cases, the distribution is very different.

@Gogy abhorrent is the human condition where a rational course of action is only agreed upon based on convenience and other not so rational considerations.
