It was a good answer anyway

That’s funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don’t want a language that’s clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I’d be a shit & unproductive software engineer.

People love to repeat this but it’s not as comforting as you think it is.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

This is really it. I’ve been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I’d be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There’s nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn’t. The 26 won’t either.

Perchance

The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was “wow, your homework looks like a textbook!”

It may not always be correct, but it’s always pretty!

They usually don’t have a choice. They know this stuff is bad, but they need it to demonstrate compliance with XYZ framework so they can fill out the marketing copy so sales can land a contract with some big customer that wants to know why $competitor has better security than you.

Holy shit, I remember now.

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the “she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she’s actually way older” trope.

If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Wtf why. There’s no karma on lemmy to farm!

I’ve never used ChatGPT (the workflow sounds tedious) but I have used GitHub copilot for personal stuff. The free ChatGPT has weird rights to your queries, whereas GH copilot doesn’t snarf up your code. It genuinely saves a ton of time if you treat it like an in-line Stack Overflow query. It never gets it 100% right, but it can crap out boilerplate like nobody’s business.

Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you’re near one, check it out!

A lot of people here in the US have bought into this as their retirement strategy. The value needs to go up, so they can downsize and ride the leftover cash for the rest of their life. If the number doesn’t go up, they can’t retire. This forces otherwise normal people to become very, very, invested in ensuring real estate is an asset with value that outpaces what people can afford. It’s a ponzi scheme.

While the primary motivation for it is definitely cynical, I am quite enjoying the MMO-lite aspects of the game. Running into strangers in the wild and doing activities together feels better in Diablo than it did in Destiny.

Edit: it would be pretty sick if they had an offline-only “realm.” D3 on switch was great for long flights and other places without steady internet. D4 is probably unplayable in air.
