  • The Six Stages of Code Grief

  • I think we're all just dogshit but think we're better than the next person, it's like driving. I'm a "comment if there's no way to make it readable" kinda guy, I work with some "comment and don't bother to make it readable because there's comments" people. We all suck. I probably forget to comment on unreadable places sometimes, or overestimate readability he either doesn't update comments so they're out of date or the code is so gibberish that a comment didn't help.

    Ideally I guess you comment AND make it readable AND make sure the comments are up to date, but who do you think we are? Superman? And what's the right level of commenting anyway? Probably depends on who is reading them.

  • Hopefully we won't find out. Feel like there's heavily tilted scale towards Trump/republicans when it comes to gun ownership as the other side tends to be more for restricting gun ownership.

  • Ah good call, released within a year of each other, I'm probably merging the two in my head to some extent.

  • This broke my brain, I identified it as "The Mist" but I was 100% sure Mark Wahlberg was the main character so I was trying to work out what the joke was/why Wahlberg was replaced.

    Guess I have my own Berenstein Bears thing going on.

  • The only thing I can think of is default download links based on your reported OS. What other functionality would be OS gated?

  • Surely that maths is wrong and/or we have different meanings of the word "make".

  • Thanks, I was 99% sure the feet were wrong (duck feet) but I couldn't remember the last time I saw a platypus.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • Honestly it sucks that happened to you, but using that as a reason to decide that a whole form of transport is akin to shooting an AK-47 in a dark room (or whatever it was) or beating a child is ridiculous. People get hurt every day from all kinds of vehicles and all kinds of objects.

    Sometimes you can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  • More poke the insane person and see what fun thing they come up with.

    Jump

  • I'm not against the law you mentioned, in my opinion everyone should be driving/riding defensively and crashes are often a failure of both parties to some extent. Even if you're technically at fault often the other party could have done something to avoid or minimise the accident.

    The insane part was the comparison to scenarios where a party is clearly at fault. How is beating the shit out of a child anywhere near equivalent to hitting a cyclist that has blindly ridden in front of your car with no chance to have predicted it?

    Jump

  • Out of mostly amusement to see what you come up with at this point, what makes cyclists not also a bullet for pedestrians in this scenario? Less heavy but can still be deadly to pedestrians.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • Again, insane comparisons, driving a heavy vehicle is in no way similar to intentionally assaulting someone. A more appropriate comparison might be if your lover was punching a punching bag and you dove in front of it mid hard swing, and they had no time to avoid hitting you. Is that your fault or theirs?

    If a cyclist runs over a child, who was not visible at all until they ran into their path with no time to stop, on a path designated for bicycles where a pedestrian has no right to be, is the cyclist at fault?

    Anyway I think I might be responding to a crazy person, so I'm probably wasting my time, but I'm interested in how deep it goes.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • A cyclist us never to blame for a car hitting a cyclist. It is always always always the drivers fault, because they chose to drive a car.

    That's an insane take, right? If I as a cyclist blindly ride across a road directly in front of a heavy vehicle, surely it's on me. In what way would that be the heavy vehicle drivers fault?

  • It's a cruel system

  • Same, always used Google Meet, was forced to use teams. It took me a second to find the right button while rambling about it. Being a Mac I also needed to enable the permission and restart.

    I haven't used Zoom in a while either, it would probably take me a second as well if it's not obvious.

  • ... Interesting.

  • Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI

    Jump

  • In Australia cartoon child porn is enforced in the same way as actual child porn. Not that it answers your question but it's interesting.

    I'd imagine for your question "it depends", some people who would have acted on their urges may get their jollies from AI child porn, others who have never considered being pedophiles might find the AI child porn (assuming legal) and realise it's something they were into.

    I guess it may lower the production of real child porn which feels like a good thing. I'd hazard a guess that there are way more child porn viewers than child abusers.

  • The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten

  • Oh right, I was not aware of JKRs comments on funding anti-trans organisations. I guess my point still stands, I.e. that people often don't have deep insight into the creators of the art they are enjoying, so considering liking Harry Potter as a statement about their feelings on the author doesn't resonate with me but I understand why you'd have issues with it with the funding comment in mind.

    Entirely agree on liking Andrew Tate being a red flag in the same way liking JKR directly would be a red flag. It's more liking the books that JKR put out years before anyone heard her potentially rotting brain driven opinions on trans people that I don't think should be seen as a red flag without at least some questioning about their thoughts on the author.
