Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • "TikTok is stealing your data."

    Jump

  • The hive is (or at least was) a bit split. Many users seem to hate TikTok because they just dislike it for whatever reason (e.g., addictive short form videos), but others view this as a fascist move by the US or anti-China.

  • It's not semantics, it's a joke following the same structure as the comic

  • What's Better For A Project Portfolio: Build From Scratch Or Library Knowledge?

    Jump

  • I mean, the more I think about it, the more I think it might be relevant. They've got this very bizarre format (instead of something like JSON) and I wrote a thing to parse it and format it back out.

    The joke being "Prison Architect" (especially as a game) sounds very bizarre to be on a resume.

  • Should I put my Prison Architect mod tool on my resume? /s

  • Think of your projects as a black box. I think it's rare people look at how they do things. Only what they can do. From that perspective, I think using libraries.

  • We're RIGHT HERE :(

  • You clearly haven't tried Instagram Reels then

  • Oh my goodness, YES!

    The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.

    "We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.

  • Pixelfed user count has gone vertical.

    Jump

  • I saw Pixelfed mentioned on TikTok. So yeah!

  • Yeah, I've been saying we should make crypto mining space heaters. I don't think there's much of a market for it, but it's an interesting thought. Worst case, it would be an amazing gag gift.

    Or, if you believe all crypto is immoral (arguably fair), then make a space heater that runs something like folding at home.

  • I can almost excuse shadow profiles for things like "two people both have X contact in their phone", but making them for unborn children? Lord have mercy. That's genuinely crazy. It makes me wonder if it's something like they just marked someone as pregnant based on searches (weird, but maybe acceptable, idk) and it got taken out of context? Hopefully? Either way it's icky.

  • The ol' "marked as deleted" lol.

  • So true... When I see 100% more, I interpret it as 2x. But somewhere around, idk, maybe 300% I interpret "300% more" as 3x. I know that's technically not correct, but it's just where my brain goes. I think a good deal of people just throw around "n% more" and "n% as often" interchangeably without much thought.

    Luckily, the bigger the number the less of a difference between the two which is aligned with my brain using them the same.

    (And obviously, if it's anything technical where it matters I would get clarification.)

  • I don't necessarily know if that's the artist's intention here, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind.

    It's Stonetoss, but I'll be damned if that isn't an amazing intentional typo. (Likening Stonetoss to Stormfront.)

  • Maybe I'm alone, but I didn't read their comment as saying the artist is somewhat of a Nazi, but just somewhat bad. As in there's a certain level of "badness" before the term Nazi applies. It felt like they were commenting on the level of "badness", not the level of "Naziness".

  • Keep it simple

  • What's funny is that if you use attributes a lot then XML can be about the same size as JSON. But people think there are things you should and shouldn't use attributes for for some reason. The only thing XML has going for it is a really nice schema format, but even today that's pretty moot. JSON schema and others are pretty well supported.
