It's easy and cheap for him to just claim "it's for everyone" without actually doing anything to address the bigotry, systemic issues, and culture surrounding the religion. I get the impression this is by intent.

I recentlyish watched The Wire for the first time. Every fucking season is this way and it feels very awkward. I wanna ask the captioner WTF.

Python is superior for string anything (parsing, searching, manipulating). But Bash is much simpler for running existing CLI tools. Plus you should already be using Bash as a simple terminal language already, so wrapping what you're used to into a simple script flows naturally.

Eg, if I have some admin tool for updating a user thingamajig, a common scripting need is just running that tool for every user in a file (or the output of another command). The string manipulation that often requires is annoying in bash, but running the commands is easier than Python.

If he wants to honor god, shouldn't he become a priest or something? It's bullshit how many politicians think it's okay to push their religious views onto everyone else (and even more bullshit how they don't even get punished or stopped from doing so).

Yeah, I'm constantly recommending junior devs to use TDD specifically for this. I don't recommend it for anything else. If they don't write the test first, it's possible that the test will end up testing the wrong thing and thus they can't be sure they really did fix the bug.

Sometimes it's hard to tell where to write the test ahead of time, so sometimes a slight variation I do is to write the test after (usually because it was such a struggle to figure out where the bug is), but when I'm testing it, I'll comment out the fix or whatever and make sure the test fails.

I've worked in a few places that were full of Linux nerds (including my current job). We totally use sed style replacements and joke about vim escape keys (especially the classic :q). So you just need nerdier friends (as in ramped up to 11).

• Me with the Technology Connections and Legal Eagle YouTube channels lately.

I've tried a few apps (Liftoff, Wifwif or whatever it was called, and now Sync). I've not stuck with any of them, despite the fact I used RiF and later Boost both for years.

They just feel too early stage. Eg, Wifwif was super sluggish and I accidentally cancelled multiple long comments I typed up by trying to scroll, which is a big oof. With Sync, I noticed the comment hierarchy was messed up and when I went to post about that, I couldn't do it from within the app because posting isn't supported yet (feels like a big thing to be missing).

So for now, I'm still just using the website. And not with the PWA, because support for multiple tabs is really great and avoids weirdness with scrolling when going back.

Side note: why do literally no apps support tabs????? Number zero feature request I've ever had, for every single app. I even noticed that Sync has a long press to open posts in background, but it's only for posts and it is rather convoluted cause it's more like opening a second instance of the app. The back button goes to my Android home screen (not back to Sync) and it is hard to navigate to what you just opened.

Mobile Chrome's tab groups feature is absolutely amazing. I hate using "normal" tabs anymore, cause the tab groups having the tabs accessible at the bottom of the screen is unbeatable.

It's a shame that most game companies can't manage to treat both their fans and staff well. It's rare to treat even one of those well, let alone both. I wonder what the developer of BG3 is like for employees? Crunch time is usually so ubiquitous in game dev that I assume everyone does it until proven otherwise.

Spam callers have basically ruined telephone as a medium. For many, a phone call is more likely to be fake and spam than it is to be legitimate. And even if the call claims to come from a source you might trust, good odds it's spoofed and thus cannot in fact be trusted.

A shame on telecoms for not being willing to tackle the problem.

What I'm thinking is removing the railings from around the outcrop and have the railing to all the way to the stair (so that you can't walk onto the outcrop anymore). Then the outcrop is the perfect place for a model of some kind. Like a countryside train model or a city model or the likes. Something that is just for looks cause there's no practical reason to walk onto such a tiny outcrop. It'd be a great use of the space and a nice place to display such a thing such that anyone walking up or down the stairs can appreciate it from different angles.

Oh, I would love that. I hate having to wait for the server to bring me the bill so I can leave. When I eat alone, I often ask the server to bring me the bill with my food or so, in hopes of paying for it before I'm done eating. For whatever reason, the norm is for the bill to not come until well after you're done eating. That can be fine when you're with a group and want to spend time chatting after you finish, but if you're in a hurry, you'll be waiting a long time.
