  • I had an ex partner get upset because I used a period at the end of an innocuous text. This is among the reasons why they are my least favorite ex. Just a mess of anxiety and arrogance, where they'd worry about bullshit but be completely convinced that they were right and their way of thinking about things was the only sensible way.

    Unfortunately they're still distantly connected to the friend group, but luckily I haven't run into them in years.

  • I've seen some garbage slide through code reviews. Most people don't do them well.

    I'm doing contract work at a big multinational company, and I saw a syntax error slide through code review the other day. Just, like, too many parenthesis, the function literally wouldn't work. (No, they don't have automated unit tests or CI/CD. Yes, that's insane. No, I don't have any power to fix that, but I am trying anyway). It's not hard to imagine something more subtle like a memory leak getting through.

    In my experience, people don't want to say "I think this is all a bad idea" if you have a large code review. A couple years ago, a guy went off and wrote a whole DSL for a task. Technically, it's pretty impressive. It was, however, in my opinion, wholly unnecessary for the task at hand. I objected to this and suggested we stick with the serviceable, supported, and interoperable approach we had. The team decided to just move forward with his solution, because he'd spent time on it and it was ready to go. So I can definitely see a bunch of people not wanting to make waves and just signing off on something big.

  • it’s the tens of millions of people who actively and aggressively support full-blown fascism

    Since I don't routinely hang around with stupid people, it's easy to forget how profoundly stupid so many people are. Not just that they don't know stuff, even though that's a big factor as well. Just their ability to reason is toddler level. Like patrick in that meme with the wallet.

  • SCP to prod, or ssh in and copy paste. Devops only removed write access to prod machines this month, and people complained. (No, we don't have docker)

    I think they used Amazon CodeCommit for a while, but I don't know what that's like.

  • I'm getting a friend a box of adhesive googly eyes.

  • Upwards mobility

    Jump

  • This almost makes me appreciate my current job, where most stuff has been in place for years and any changes take forever.

    It's kind of a bummer that it's going to take like six months to add a linter, and they only started using git like last year.

  • [ProPublica] Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal

    Jump

  • It's also "No one tells me what to do. I tell you what to do."

  • ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records, data shows

    Jump

  • Not every law is just or sensible. "It's illegal" is a far weaker claim than "it's morally wrong" or similar. People conflate the two.

  • Do you buy real Christmas trees or put up artificial ones?

    Jump

  • Neither. Cutting down a healthy tree for a little ritual seems extremely wasteful to me. I don't care much about Xmas so I don't have a fake tree, either. I do have lights up in the apartment, but they're up year round. I like the colors.

  • What multiplayer games do you play?

    Jump

  • It's the only MMO I felt was good. Feels like a real game. No level or gear grind.

    I didn't do the latest expansion yet but I've done all the others.

    No ethical consumption

    Jump

  • That's how I read it as well. People who say there's no ethical consumption, and then act like all wrongs are equally wrong so they might as well do the worst thing.

  • ‘There is no Mamdani effect’: Manhattan luxury home sales surge after mayoral election, undercutting predictions of doom and escape to Florida

    Jump

  • I remember a bunch of coworkers leaving during COVID and I was like "ok but what're you going to do after? It's fucking boring where you're moving to."

  • ‘There is no Mamdani effect’: Manhattan luxury home sales surge after mayoral election, undercutting predictions of doom and escape to Florida

    Jump

  • I’m a Republican

    In 2025? Why on earth? No Republican policy is good. Their policies don't align with their marketing.

  • He's not even in office until January , so anyone sincerely saying that has an extra layer of idiocy.

  • What's your boomer trait?

  • I buy music. Drm free. I don't want to rent it from Spotify. It's Bandcamp Friday today btw, where the people making the music get a bigger cut.

  • ...out of mind

    Jump

  • People get mad when things make them feel bad. They don't want to fix anything they just don't want to feel bad.

  • Everyone in Seattle Hates AI — Jonathon Ready

    Jump

  • Yeah if AI was actually good you wouldn't need to mandate it. No one was like "everyone here must use Google search".

  • Photo enforcement cameras

    Jump

  • On the one hand, omnipresent surveillance is bad and ripe for abuse.

    On the other, I feel like the haphazard and selective enforcement of traffic laws by police officers is also really bad. Cops can selectively enforce laws so poor people or black people or whatever out-group suffers more. A machine should be impartial.

    On the last hand, no traffic enforcement is probably going to get people killed. So that's not desirable.

    Also, fines are problematic. Fines should probably scale with wealth, but also it shouldn't be a revenue source because that's a perverse incentive.

  • Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure

  • Companies fill up with idiots and parasites. People who are adept at thriving in the role without actually producing value. Google is no exception.
