  • You know what we, in the industry, call a detailed specification fo requirements detailed enough to produce software? Code.

  • The REAL problem is that the industry collectively uses JS almost exclusively for shit it was never meant to do. Like you say, it's intended for it to not throw errors and kill your whole web page, because it was only ever intended to be used for minor scripts inside mostly-static HTML and CSS web pages. Then we all turned it into the most-popular language in the world for building GUI applications.

  • The Supreme Court is about to let use religion to intentionally ruin public education.

  • Blue Prince sure feels like it counts, our whole family is hooked, and has been playing it every day for about 2 weeks now. Even well after rolling credits.

    In a similar vein, I'd have to say Hollow Knight and Outer Wilds. Together with Blue Prince, they all have a storytelling strategy of "you have to put some effort into getting the story out of it", but the effort makes every new discovery or revelation feel super rewarding.

    Celeste is the one that comes to mind for a more traditional story that REALLY hit.

    Persona 5 comes to mind, too. I was ENGROSSED in that story for months. Even if it went off the rails a couple times.

    I'm also gonna shout-out Tales of Symphonia. That game was formative for me.

  • My big reason would be "it hurts readability". That is, when writing code, readibility for others who aren't familiar with it (including future me) is my top-priority, and that means indentation and alignment are HIGHLY important, and if I spend the time to write code with specific indentation and alignment, to make it readable at a glance, I want to be certain that it's always going to display exactly that way. Tabs specifically break that guarantee, because they're subject to editor settings, which means shit like the below example can occur:

    I write the following code with an editor that uses a tab size of 4.

     cs
        
    myObject.DoSomething(
        someParameter:      "A",
        someOtherParameter: "B",
        value:              "C");
    
      

    If someone pulls this up in an editor that uses a tab size of 8, they get...

     cs
        
    myObject.DoSomething(
        someParameter:          "A",
        someOtherParameter:     "B",
        value:                          "C");
    
      

    Not really a big deal, in this simple case, but it illustrates the point.

    My second reason would be that it makes code more difficult to WRITE, I.E. it's not that hard to insert spaces when you mean to insert tabs, considering that you're not LITERALLY using only tabs just only tabs for indentation and alignment. And if you do accidentally have spaces mixed in, you're not going to be able to tell. The guy on another machine with different editor settings will, though.

    I'm aware there are fonts that can make spaces and tabs visible and distinct, but that sounds like a NIGHTMARE to write and read code with. I mentioned above, my top priority is easy readability, and introducing more visual noise to make tabs and spaces distinct can only hurt readability.

  • Denying that the logo used to have a cornucopia is a thing? Sheesh, TIL.

  • By Thursday afternoon, the attorneys were taken off the case while a transportation department spokesperson speculated they published the document as an act of sabatoge.

    Props, if true. But this is the Trump administration, sabotage is absoutely not a requisite for incompetence.

  • There's the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship's speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the "unsinkable" ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they're only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he's partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

    Much more prominent is Rose's (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a "gutter rat", responds to "half the people on this ship are going to die" with "not the better half", tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.

  • Arcane.

  • He can definitely ignore it, though.

  • So, The Intercept knows when Trump will die? Cause that's the only way he'll be leaving office.

  • Gotta figure he's considered that possibility. Imprisonment of an elected federal official would be distinctly tougher for Trump to just shrug off.

  • You twit.

  • Also depends how much presence you have on social media, and how public you are avout your political opinions there.

  • Sick. I've tried a few times in the past to find a frontend for postgres that I liked, and was never able to. Will have to give this a try.

  • Nutritious breakfast cereal.

  • The most straightforward thing to do, on a private LAN, is to make all your own certs, from a custom root cert, and then manually install that cert as "trusted" on each machine. If none of the machines on this network need to accessed from outside the LAN, then you're golden.

  • Not banned.. at least not that I know of. Just saw the writing on the wall after the API horseshit.

  • And here I'd assumed he'd cath'd himself.
