I considered getting a crank-operated bread cutting machine, mainly so I wouldn't need a wall socket to use it...

So, back in 2021, William Shatner accepted an offer from Bezos to be flown into space for a few minutes. He played Captain Kirk in Star Trek for a gazillion years, so actually going to space was a life-long dream for him.Despite that, his experience was very much like the comic, just more ...profound:
[...] when I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold . . . all I saw was death.
I saw a cold, dark, black emptiness. It was unlike any blackness you can see or feel on Earth. It was deep, enveloping, all-encompassing. I turned back toward the light of home. I could see the curvature of Earth, the beige of the desert, the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky. It was life. Nurturing, sustaining, life. Mother Earth. Gaia. And I was leaving her. [...]
It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness. [...] My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.

Also, if you want to see some real cringe, there's videos of Shatner talking to Bezos after the landing, where he's articulating these same deep thoughts. And when Bezos realizes that Shatner didn't like space very much, he has to shut him up, of course, so he calls for his emotional support sluts to pass a champagne bottle for him to ejaculate over them.
It's such a bizarre disconnect from this 90-year-old man completely shook to his core, where you really want to listen to what he has to say, to Bezos interrupting him mid-sentence to just go do something else.
My impression has been that it's not a good language. That relatively many people try it out, because the initial learning curve is small, only to fall out of love with it hard a few months later, because the low language complexity results in high complexity of each individual codebase.Perhaps the most elaborate rant about that experience: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-ride
And yeah, personally I care a lot about being able to work with good tooling, so that's my reason to stay away from it as long as I don't need it for employment.
But our industry famously loves terrible languages (see JavaScript, Python, PHP etc.), so if you are just interested in employability, I do imagine that you will continue to find jobs a few years from now. I certainly also feel like it's well established in ops tooling and cloud services, so there's gonna be people who continue to write new software with golang in those fields.
Yeah, the untracked files not being copied is also a big reason why I'll typically just switch to a different branch instead.
I mainly use worktrees when it's useful that untracked files are not copied, like when I need to check out a completely different state of the project, where cached files would need to be invalidated anyways, for example.
Yeah, I think their saving grace is that they really aren't that hard to use. I don't use them often enough to remember the commands by heart, but it doesn't take me long to figure it out anew each time. Typically not as long as cloning the repo anew, at least.

A few days beforehand, I was talking with my mom on the phone and she said, I should come visit them on my birthday. And at first, I thought, she just wanted me to visit in general, but found it a bit weird that she considered it such an imperative.
Then I thought about it and realized that it wasn't just any birthday, but my 30th. I genuinely would not have realized, probably until months later when someone would've asked me about my age.
...I'm not saying you shouldn't celebrate or whatever. I just never cared much about birthdays and that felt really on brand for me.
I currently have to do a deployment at $DAYJOB and recently, I made a larger change which is completely broken, but also it's slightly less broken than before, I think, so we do actually have that on the
mainbranch. 🫠So, uh, fun fact, "placenta" is just the Latin word for "cake".
So the word you're looking for is "calzone".I don't know, I haven't heard of people doing that and I feel like I'd need to throw some salad or tomato on top to make it worthwhile.
But I might also misjudge it, because we don't call the 100% peanut stuff "peanut butter" in my country and well, because I haven't really tried it.
To be honest, though, the main point of my comment was that it's great for cooking. I really don't feel like you'd want to mix the sugary stuff into even a fraction of the sauces that I put the 100% peanut stuff in.
Well, peanut butter is often with added sugar and whatnot. If you got the stuff that's just pureed peanuts, that isn't really something you'd spread on your bread. Instead, you can use it for cooking, e.g. mix it into sauces to make the sauce more creamy and hearty.

Oh man, I thought "AF" meant "as fuck" like it usually does on the internet.
Ah, I guess, I do mean honing. She had one of those steel sticks to slide your knife along. Personally, I slide it through the ceramic side of one of these:
She did say all the honing was taking off more material, particularly because the steel of these cheap knives is so malleable. But the knife is so cheap, you can buy multiple before reaching the pricepoint of an expensive knife...
I once saw a video of a chef who was like, yeah, I just buy the crappiest knives and sharpen them every time before I use them. As someone in possession of a singular, craptacular knife, I can confirm that this works very well. 🙃
Yeah, the style of syntax originated in LISP. The technical name is S-expressions.
But yes, the basic syntax rules are extremely simple. It's rather when you actually want to do something with that syntax that it takes some thinking...
Hmm, Debian and other long-term support distros are kind of in a tricky position with problems like these. On the one hand, they don't want to break things, so they'll often make changes like these relatively late. But on the other hand, someone might still run a current version of the distro in 2038, so they actually want to solve it as early as possible, too.
The distinction is just semantics in my mind, too, yeah. I hold the same position as agnostics, in that I do not believe this whole god concept can be disproven, because it is not rigorously formulated like a scientific thesis.
But I put that as "I do not believe that there is a god" and respectively I call myself an atheist, because well, there's many other things which cannot be disproven, like for example Big Foot.
And if a kid were to ask me, whether Big Foot exists, I'm not going to lead with "we really can't know". That's just misleading.I guess, agnostics differentiate between gods and Big Foot, because there's so many more people who are convinced of these gods' existence. But yeah, I don't do that either, because I've seen how many people are willing to believe climate change isn't real. Lots of people believing something is just not an argument to me anymore.
As an internet and real-life atheist ...yeah. Most atheists just don't talk much about their non-belief, because there isn't much to talk about, so in dedicated atheism communities, you mostly see those that are almost anti-theist...
I don't think I get the joke then. Is it a pun or a movie reference or something?
