Pets are not children

They have completely different physical and psychological needs and wants, and they need to be respected as a member of their species

Speaking as someone who has 2 dogs, 3 cats, and no kids

They are my companions, and i am their caregiver. But they are not my children

Quality work will always need human craftsmanship

I’d wager that most revolutionary technologies are either those that expand human knowledge and understanding, and (to a lesser extent) those that increase replicability (like assembly lines)

Sometimes you forget to verify if your assumptions are true

I just have a spell checker enabled in vscode

So helpful for dynamic languages that can’t detect undeclared variables (looking at you JS)

I was reading Crafting Interpreters. After adding function calls and stack frames, i tested my implementation with the Fibonacci script at the end of the chapter

I spent about 2 hours debugging my call stack, and even tested the script in Python

Only to realize that Fib(3) is indeed 2

I’m not sure that’s their intended design. Old pull-tab cans actually had a ring for you to pull them off (similar to “easy open” soup cans of today)

I’d imagine that as the tab shrunk and changed from pull to a lever action, the “ring” was left as a vestigial design (as a form of skeuomorphism)

Bridge 4

That’s the only reason i don’t think this is real

It looks fine on Voyager

This is genius

• They are sturdier and require less delicate handling, lest you damage a paperback’s cover, or accidentally bend some of the pages
  • i always remove the paper graphic covers from HB so i just have the bare cardstock cover
  • this is handy if you need to travel with it, say on vacation, or to / from school or work
• the spine is a lot sturdier and looser
  • with PB, the spine is just the same paper material as the cover, and it forms creases as you read
  • with PB, the spine is usually really tight, which makes it really hard to lay out the book flat
  • with hardback, the spine is separate from the cover, which lets it flex more easily, and the material that binds the pages is generally more durable to flexing over time

I should probably note, i mostly read from e-ink tablets these days

But i still prefer HB over PB if i need / have a physical copy

Hardback is always worth the price

I run Arch, so docker was the easiest method of installation.

Rather than try and figure out how to install a .deb manually (and lose package manager perks)

Vscode and dotnet core (5+) work well on linux

You can also run SQL Server via docker

That said, coming the fruit denatures the proteins

Got any coconuts?

If you do that, you lose formatting and comments every time you load the source from disk

As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious

The technology behind the registry is fine (which is what I think @VinesNFluff meant)

But it’s execution in Windows was ass

In theory, a configuration manager with DB-like abilities (to maintain relationships, schematic integrity, and to abstract the file storage details), isn’t a bad idea

But the registry as it is today is pure pain

Sanity checks

Always, always check if your assumptions are true

• am i even running the function?
• is this value what i think it is?
• what is responsible for loading this data, and does it work as expected?
• am i pointed at the right database?
• is my configuration set and loaded in correctly?

I’ve never done that in my life
