Are these genuinely just screencaps from Star Trek or something?

I guess, it being an identity is somewhat recent-ish…?

You first needed lots of weirdos to make it their identity that they only fuck people from the Champagne region, before it could be an identity that you just fuck whomever’s hot.

My pet theory is that our brain rewards us for interpreting clues correctly, because this is crucial for survival. And patterns make it easy to do this interpretation correctly, therefore triggering the reward system frequently.

But if it is too easy to interpret a pattern correctly, the reward will be lessened, because the challenge you succeeded in was lesser. And it was also crucial to survival to fade out patterns which don’t change, so that e.g. the wind brushing through leaves doesn’t drown out the noises from a predator approaching.

That’s why patterns which don’t change every so often stop triggering the reward system and therefore bore us.

Well, the writing-part isn’t the bad part about duplicated code. It’s the maintaining of it. In particular, if you duplicate logic, it happens all too quickly that you make modifications to one, but not the other, or you make differing modifications to both.

Eventually, you’ll end up with two wildly different versions, where you won’t know why certain changes were made and not applied to the other version. Similarly, if you do need to make a similar change to both, you might now need to implement it two times.

I guess, I do agree that it isn’t *always* worth it, but in my experience, it is far more often worth it than one might think.

That is kind of funny, since there is genuinely a decent chance that someone who’s unwell is also obese or unfit or old…

“P/E” is apparently this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price–earnings_ratio

Being lobster-headed is a turn-on for her. He’s practically the perfect match for her and she’s likely the best, if not only, partner he could hope for.

But yeah, I guess, it’s less of a joke and more of a social commentary that people will forego great partners when they’re not accepted by their tribe.

Conversely, we had a small event at work with three different drinks, of which two were lemonade and the third looked like just another flavor of lemonade, but was actually an energy drink. You basically had to read the ingredients to find out.

I genuinely get headaches from techno. A colleague was recently on a techno festival and that just sounds like the seventh circle of hell for me…

Can we at least mention, though, that that’s kind of nonsensical, too? Give me a *very* high-level summary of what changed, but then the rest of the commit message should be the why (unless that’s genuinely obvious, like when adding a feature).

If I actually want to know what changed, I can look at the code changes. I can’t find the why anywhere else, though. Nor can an LLM having to describe those random code changes.

I also deem the pledge of allegiance problematic, but playing devil’s advocate for a second: Maybe those ‘theys’ are entirely disparate groups of people. Maybe the first ‘they’ made you recite those values, so that when the Nazi ‘they’ marched in, you knew where to draw the line and start fighting back.

Wow, that’s kind of wild that they didn’t have this feature until now. Like, yeah, occasionally you need to start from scratch despite people’s expectations being higher than the last time around. But that still feels like a relatively basic feature to not have…

I doubt it’ll be usable on most websites when they release their first version. It might take decades to support current web standards…

Yep, the repository root. Where everyone starts to read your code, so you put your README there and the docs-folder and the entrypoint to your source tree, oh and also all this random guff that no sane reader would ever be interested in.

I still remember how I tried to read larger repositories for the first time and this was genuinely a hurdle, because I figured these files must be highly relevant for understanding the code.

My attempt at combating that has been to move as much of the code structure to the top as possible, so that someone new will have a much higher chance of clicking on something relevant. But yeah, downside is that your code structure isn’t as separated from the guff anymore…

I read elsewhere that it’ll have anti-cheat. If they don’t support Linux, anti-cheat will make it rather unlikely to work, since it will detect the mild differences between Proton and Windows as an attempt to cheat.

Yeah, at this point I assume they just want to choose awful names to garner attention, but damn, this just makes me think someone typoed.

I use a hand-operated travel bidet, so it’s exactly as overpowered as my handshake is firm. 🙃

More seriously, I did say not everything past the sphincter will get cleared out. But yeah, I believe it is generally possible for humans to relax their sphincter, so if you angle the beam right, that should do the trick…

Firefox has a built-in translation feature now, so you might not need TWP.

You can check whether you’re clean with a toilet paper, if you’re unsure. But I did so a few times at the beginning and never had stained toilet paper (so long as I didn’t stick it inside, I guess), so I don’t bother anymore.

In particular, you also feel cleaner when you regularly use a bidet (like you’re freshly showered), so that also makes it easier to feel when you aren’t clean…

Disagree about the assisting tool. Yes, you can still find shit, if you stick your finger up your bum hole, but you don’t need to powerwash your intestines to be clean. They’ll be full of shit soon after anyways. So long as the outside of the door is squeaky clean, that’s as clean as you’ll get.
