  • Definitely self inflicted, possibly physician assisted, family has a history of degenerative neural diseases and I'm not gonna go out that way

  • Vscode when I'm feeling productive, neovim when I'm feeling saucy

    Hate pretty much every other ide out there, but do occasionally get forced into Android studio or xcode. Xcode is the worst, msvs a close second.

    One day a multi cursor first multi-language extension lightweight ide will replace vscode I'm sure but it's solid for now.

  • "Which is bad news for developers"

    Nah, we've been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I'm not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.

    Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it's mostly just cutting down on the question duplication

    My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.

  • Binary search, there are so many instances where problems in life can be solved by eliminating half of a given set repeatedly.

    Blender broken? There are only so many things that can go wrong, analyze the situation and try to find something that cuts your problem in half.

    1. Is the light on? It’s not electricity and that's a huge chunk of what makes a blender work.
    2. Light not on? Well now you've eliminated (temporarily) mechanical systems and electrical remains. Further splitting that part of the blender means either house power or internal blender power, check the outlet with another machine

    This approach involves further splitting the problem into 2 as evenly as possible each time. It doesn’t make sense to whip out the multimeter if the on light isn't shining, you don't need to check on your house's breakers if the light is on, etc.

    This system works for troubleshooting almost anything, all you have to do is find chokepoints and identify sections of your target. Toilet not flushing, faucet not on, car not starting, neck pain, allergies, it's almost harder to think of something it doesn't apply to.

  • Finally something we both agree on

  • PL is programming languages apparently for anybody else who hates new acronyms as much as I do

  • Life is often not about how hard you work or how good you are, it's often just about how lucky you have been. Were you born fortunate, were you lucky enough to get the job you needed, lucky to have been taught and understand financial literacy, lucky enough to avoid major health complications, lucky enough to be "smart" etc.

    Frankly it's incredible that we live as long as we do with the utter lack of compassion and community in the world.

    I'm not going to financially contribute to your cause, which makes me complicit in your suffering, I'm sorry for that. I hope that your suffering is reduced and that your "luck" improves.

  • The moment I stand up for more than 2 seconds my cat hops up and immediately falls asleep, she yearns for the butt warmth

  • Sorry for your loss

  • Teams is their replacement, viable or not

  • It probably evens out to ~$20 usd/month between recurring donations and one time random donations to the internet archive, wikipedia and some specific open source contributors. Gaming for me is usually 1-2 new games a year so likely similar in cost.

    I donate $5/month to lemmy, and am considering doing more for the other important projects out there.

    The open source community is one of the most important anchors in our modern society, not only do we as every day people benefit, but communities like npm, gradle, pip, etc all benefit the financial system greatly. We do not do enough.

  • The verb choice of headlines is really a plague.

    Slam, blast, hit, rip, and now swerve. Remarkable journalism.

  • When I was young, raised religious, there was an intense focus on finding purpose in life, almost as if there is no value to life itself without some end goal.

    After leaving religion and superstition behind everything that is left is remarkable, fascinating, and beautiful. There's no need for life to have a purpose, a sunset doesn't need to clock in to work, a rock doesn't have an active role to perform but it's still fine for it to exist, us too.

    I used to wish there was done grander purpose, but have you ever considered where that ends? Say you do have an ultimate purpose on earth, to collect all the smeeshmups, you do it and then what? Say your purpose is to be a good little Christian person and go to heaven, then what? Glorify some monkey with an anus for eternity because he agreed you did a good job? Yikes

  • You mean let him divest his interest and responsibility for a profit? That would be nothing but beneficial for him.

  • Cute

  • Yeah this is not my experience consulting at all, my pay is significantly higher through contracting than on w2, you can negotiate whatever you want in the contract if you write it.

  • Ah another closet republican, nice

  • Not sure if I'm missing the follow up joke, but it looks like maybe you're missing the original joke. There was an episode of the next generation where picard was being brainwashed to think the way his captors wanted him to, the demonstration of his resilience was truthfully saying there are four lights when he was being coerced into falsely saying there were five.
