I think a lot of people are only semi-literate, and many of them don’t realize it. They just think reading is kind of hard and uncomfortable, and don’t know why anyone would choose to do it.
You won’t find as many of them on a text-focused medium like here.
I thought about it but people are so sensitive here. If they broke something and couldn’t merge they’d probably raise a big stink, and then there’s good odds the checks would be removed “because they’re adding friction” or some nonsense. My boss has already warned me about staying in my lane.
These people have never done any automated testing of any sort. No linter. No unit tests. And they don’t seem to want to.
Sounds about right.
I’m using GitHub actions at work because this place is extremely dysfunctional, and I can just add GitHub actions without it being a whole “research spike planning meeting impact analysis” six week journey.
I took it from “there are absolutely no checks and Bob broke the environment because he pushed up a change that’s just invalid syntax” to… well, I couldn’t make it block the build on failures but at least now when Bob breaks it again I can point to the big red X and ask why he merged with an error.
Conservatives are generally a combination of stupid, ignorant, and cruel.
“She [his wife] still looks at me like I’m stupid, but I thought it was worth it,” Murrell was quoted as saying by Fortune. “They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed.”
Is she looking at him because she’s a greedy monster that wanted the money for himself, or because it’s not enough to compensate them for their labor?
Skyrim. It was at best “fine” for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don’t remember the story. It’s not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified.
But for many people it’s their grand joy. So I guess that’s good for them.
Did not expect caves of qud to be on anyone’s list, as I thought it was pretty niche.
I also really wanted to like the game, but it felt oddly empty. I wanted less lost in the wilderness, less static quests, more dynamic stuff to do and explore.
I have much respect for “it’s not fun for me” and less patience for “it’s bad”. Totally understand why you might not find the games fun.
I remember playing it at a friend’s house and thinking “quake is better”, but the four player local play on one game and TV was an overwhelming factor.
Obviously tastes differ. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it deserved the praise.
No television show will make you feel as you did when you were a child, watching star trek for the first time.
Talk to them about it like adults? But I gather these are children, so I don’t know.
You can’t just listen to what they say. You have to listen to what they mean. For many people, and I think especially conservatives, the emotional level is the real one. Words exist to promote this hazy dreamscape of feelings.
So they say free speech but they mean “follow my standards of speech”
Netflix? Nah. Fuck 'em. Free media heck yeah.
Work in a big multi national company. not a software company, but I’m on an engineering team.
Leadership makes a lot of noises about AI.
The engineers can’t even use git competently. I’ve suggested quietly maybe we should focus on learning software fundamentals instead of chasing dreams but no one here listens to me.
I was on some website the other day and I opened the browser console for unrelated reasons. They had a giant message there that was like “STOP. If someone asked you to paste something here, you are probably going to be hacked. Do not do anything here unless you know what you’re doing.”
Which, admittedly, is probably good advice.
Good. I hope he succeeds beyond our wildest dreams and conservatives have their noses rubbed in it for the rest of their miserable lives.
I’m about 95% certain this is a joke but Poe’s law is dead. In addition to the name being on the nose, the footer has

Most people will get mad at someone pointing out their immoral behavior. This is easier on the ego. It’s also childish and weak.
I can’t imagine why I’d want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.
I listen to music at work.
