  • The Neelix dislike exists as more of a meme than otherwise.

    Yeah. Neelix is fun to joke about, but we love him.

  • I love the idea that our first message to aliens might be "FRESH WATER ONLY. NO WASTE."

  • I'm missing a lot of these things, but I've decided that my logical next step is to bootstrap Spain's and Mexico's space programs. (This is sarcasm. I have a snowballs chance in hell of going to space, and I'm okay with that.)

  • I'm a Google Beta.

    I am effectively immortal, but I will probably someday disappear without notice.

  • gitposting

    Jump

  • Holy shit. This is weirder than I realized.

    I'm just realizing that the person submitting the change was demanding that their lost feature be re-added, and the repo owner decided to YOLO the change into master. Lol.

  • Coder

    Jump

  • Nice.

    Holds hat over heart, and salutes.

    Jump

  • In fairness, the NASA Engineer can't get NPM to behave either. That's why we don't send JavaScript to space. (Edit: Lol. I guess we totally do send JavaScript into space.)

    Or do we? Now I desperately want to know what the first piece of JacaScript to run in space was/will be? It did/will mark the exact moment that we stopped taking space seriously.

  • gitposting

    Jump

  • The real clue here is the cropped top line "refactor...."

    "Here's a huge mostly unnecessary format change that incidentally loses some functionality I don't care about".

    Followed by "why won't anyone accept my contributions?!"

  • Jade

    Jump

  • Oh, I didn't realize but I've also had a Jade laptop. I was just holding it upside down.

  • Spoiler Death

    Jump

  • This collection is fantastic.

    Mildly related - Ryan North's recent contributions to Marvel Comics are full of delight. (Ryan North helped organize Machine Of Death).

  • Bluesky Quadruples Moderation Team

    Jump

  • "We're confident that these additional staff will dramatically increase our effectiveness, while also now giving Tim three people to play cards with on lunch breaks."

  • How could digitial age verification be possibly implemented with privacy in mind?

    Jump

  • Your token might be used by someone else, though

    Yeah. I feel like that cool bad influence not-actually-my-uncle is gonna publish their porn access token everywhere.

  • If I really had to, I would require everyone to whip out whatever assets of sexual maturity they happen to have, and let the computer analyze it and decide a maturity level.

    I would also keep copies for blackmail purposes, because the world is a better place if we all mistrust this solution and anything remotely like it. It'll be in the legal fine print, which I'm confident no one will read.

    Every answer (other than "trust the user to self identify") is at least remotely like mine, but I'm proposing we cut out the half-measures on the way.

    To avoid personal consequences, the system I architect will probably wait on a dead-man-switch for me to die or be incarcerated.

    Then it will publish everything it has ever seen, along with AI generated commentary. I'm confident that some of it will be hilarious, and I am hopeful that it will piss everyone off enough that we stop doing this kind of thing.

  • Rational Self-Interest

    Jump

  • True rational self interest would involve creating cooperative structures that give a safety net if anything goes wrong just like how it's rational to get home insurance even if you don't expect to burn your house down.

    This is the part that drives me nuts. Plenty of today's decision makers only survive later thanks to social nets. But they're so sure that they won't be, they're willing to cut back social benefits to make a quick buck.

  • Nodezator is a generalist Python node editor

    Jump

  • I think this is a low code editor for Python. (I'm familiar with such tools. This is the first open source one I have seen.)

    It allows scripters drag little blocks of reusable code around on a flow chart view and it becomes executable valid Python code.

    It sounds unnecessary, until you've spent time supporting an infrastructure team who don't have a strong set of coding practices.

    The node approach helps them explore and create, with enough guard-rails that they don't leave a huge mess of spaghetti code, and aren't constantly getting stuck on syntax issues and type mismatches.

    It's a fantastic way for shitty-coder specialized subject matter experts to use modules written by professional developers to accomplish cool and important things quickly.

    I love this as a collaboration pattern, an I'm excited to see something open source starting to serve this space.

    And since nodezator can also export back to pure Python, this project looks like it closes the usual gap by providing strong support when it's time to promote parts of their script into a reusable Python function.

  • New TV

    Jump

  • You meant to also include The SEGA Activator, right?!

    Edit: Of these three, I have only ever tried the SEGA Activator. So I can pretty confidently cast my vote in favor of: either of the others, just anything but the Activator.

  • Kids

    Jump

  • Cooking practice is the best practice, because I get to celebrate each success and some of the failures with a nice meal

  • Discounts

    Jump

  • I benefit from this because I'm always a returning customer.

    Every time I have a service I haven't cancelled in awhile, I go cancel and resubscribe just to make sure they haven't hidden the cancel button.
