Use IDE to easily refactor extract methods
Notice it doesn't order input parameters by order it uses them
I don't want to manually update
I hate SVN4 -
On the day of my birthday, both Skype and Boris Spassky, the chess grandmaster world champion, died. Our metamodernist timeline is so fucking weird2

The spammers are going hardcore.
They upvoted their downvoted rants. They did it automated probably, because the rants were not visible on the site anymore.
I downvoted some with the anti-spam bots but they seem to be ip-blocked for downvoting or something. They don't work anymore. Maybe I need a proxy or something..
It sucks, they have such an advantage. Upvoting is easy and unlimited.
Do some charity, downvote:

As blood rushes through my face, hundreds of tiny capillaries bursting under my skin create a beautiful freckles pattern that has to be seen to be believed.
This is what happens to me when I vomit. That’s a great way to get a striking look on a budget when I’m late to a party!2 -
Saw someone complaining not enough dev rants.
I have a coworker who's a good friend. Got him this job. He has good output, smart kid, but our coding styles clash.
I believe in DevEx (since we write internal tools). He sees it as premature optimization.
Example:
He won't validate data from input we don't control because "it shouldn't change that much".
Results:
He codes fast, but delivers shit that breaks in production and others (me) have to fix.
It's frustrating.4 -
Turned 31 three days ago.
My **dad** was convinced that I was turning 30 instead lmao.
I had to do the math for him, he was questioning the fabric of reality for a second. Like baba 2025 sub 1994 eq 31, ok.
so anyway age--;14 -

im just full of bullshit5 -
Anyone here leading a team? What's your rule on using AI as a coding assistant? I just read this article:

new jr devs are shipping codes faster but at a cost (test cases, quality control, etc).9 -
Back to the grind of self-employment trying to find work. Fuck I hate this but all the jobs I'm finding are toxic as hell. Still better than my old job.9

Wife's driving me nuts
Work is driving me nuts
At least my kids are awesome!
Maybe getting a new job would help. I'd probably need two new jobs to match this one though5 -
What's the mantra when there's no manual? RTFS?
Zig's standard library is largely RTFS. There's some docs, but it's a little sparse in my opinion.9 -
Some 20 years ago I was out on my deck and I found this all metallic green fly that was smaller than normal flies. Even the head was green. Not quite the same, but similar to the picture.
I caught this fly inside a little plastic cup with a lid. I wanted to look at it up close. Then I saw a little tiny jumping spider a little bit bigger than the fly. I lifted the lid slightly and coaxed the jumping spider inside the cup as well. So now I had this little jumper hunting this cool green fly. I set it down and did something else.
Later I came back and the spider had the fly. He was having green fly snack. I left it alone again. When I came back I was absolutely astonished by what I saw. The metallic green fly was dead on the bottom of the cup. But it was now a metallic blue color! What?! Then I realized the loss of moisture probably caused the skin/shell to contract changing the wavelength being reflected to a blue color.
This made me wonder. How many entomologists have specimens what are labeled "green fly", but the specimens are blue?
Is this an early example of web devs (spiders) making CSS changes to nature?6 -
My role in teams meetings :
Admit someone in,

Forticlient remote access is fucking slow. It takes forver to log in and for it to finalize the connection. Also kinda feels like they just gave openvpn a fresh coat of paint in order to siphon more money for licenses out of their customers.4

I have seen many debates on how children are taught but rarely about what they are taught. This reminds me of my mother who used to tell Jehovah’s Witnesses knocking on the door that ‘we’re Church of England’. We weren’t and our family never saw the inside of a church except for weddings and funerals (thank you God). But my mother had sorted out our official spirituality with the holding position of ‘we’re Church of England.’ In the same way, most people don’t question what is taught in schools any more than my mother thought about religion. It was like just ‘there’. We lived in England and it had a Church so ‘we’re Church of England’ was enough without delving into detail, thank you. Most people treat education just the same. It’s a school and that’s enough delving into detail, thanks very much. What goes on there? They have lessons and stuff. What lessons and stuff? Well, they’re taught what they need to know. And what’s that? Well, lessons and stuff. Phantom Self has an image of how things are, an image supplied by the program, but for the most part knows or seeks precious little detail about anything7

Yep, starving myself feels easier if I eat something. My body does notice if I fast, but it completely misses a huge caloric deficit.
I get more weight drop by eating two eggs a day (and nothing else) than when I fast. I have no idea why.
Anyway, I decided that eating about 400 calories a day will get me to my destination faster than not eating at all, just because it's more sustainable.8
