Doesn't know the lyrics. Just goes meow meow meow.

Does not eat the pastry if there are raisins in it.

  • falseknees comics aren't necessarily structured around a big punchline. It's often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they're unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn't their last surprise, as they're about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.

  • That’s putting it squarely.

  • Floating-point arithmetic is important to understand at least vaguely since it’s a pretty leaky abstraction. Fortunately, we don’t need a "✨Member-only story" on Medium to get acquainted with the underlying concepts.

  • They mean 32°C.

  • Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It's common sense really.

  • I can hear this meme.

  • I feel for the unlabelled fly getting mounted. Utterly fucked and unexplainably unnoticed.

  • Missed opportunity for a sweet Venn diagram.

  • babe wake up new pokémon types just dropped

  • Saw it too late. Am lunch.

  • A cat with half closed eyes may be looking smug, but in reality that face means you got a calm, content cat signalling they trust you. I mean, they may be smug, but it’s completely unrelated to the face they’re making. In other words, FDC Willard is a happy, loving (possibly smug but who knows) co-author in this pic.

  • Whether it is being offered to the end users as free (as in freedom) software or as paid closed source has the usual implications. Ease of use, accessibility measures and support impacts inclusivity. Supported languages (natural and programming) will influence further who uses them or not. What constitutes the user base will determine what’s it’s used for and in turn will apply pressure to the editor to take a certain direction.

    Political impact is not always obvious and not every single grain of software will be infused with a powerful one. The point is that our choice is either to ignore it or to acknowledge it. We can’t opt out of the world; blind neutrality is as political as any other position.

  • I would like to offer as a counterpoint that everything is political. Tech is no exception. Tech is a tool, a tool comes with a specific affordance and an affordance suggests to the wielder a certain worldview. To wilfully ignore the social and political impact of one's work does not protect it from the world's turmoil.

  • Another big advantage of getting a dev environment setup is if you can get step by step debugging in place as well. You can then use that to follow the trail of a user action from the UI triggers all the way down.
