Underappreciated top

That was my nickname in college.

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

• “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • Where “part of the solution” means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
• “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
• “We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted”
• etc

“Uh, Reverend Meechum! What a pleasant surprise. If I’d have known you were stopping by, I would have made tea.”

Sounds like at least a minor improvement. Can those me moved and still work? Like, if I move the project folder, do I have to reinitialize it and download all the packages again?

For me, it’s the rigid and wonky virtual environments. I get why they’re useful and necessary, but they’re awkward to use. Like, Node just works from the working directory with no fuss and python has to be all source {venv}/bin/activate and lord help you if you need to move it.

Plus, I have never liked that the spacing is load-bearing.

You’re empathizing with the troll, too? 👀

FYI: What the troll is describing is not required all. I don’t know what they’re on about, but I’ve used ldap-js in many projects without having to do any of that.

For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I’ve had to venture out into Go (I can’t stand working in Python).

Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.

I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for…reasons?

My personal “sweet spot” is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn’t sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between “thin” and “removable battery”, I’d take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I’d also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

Unfortunately, our WAF appliances don’t have a Heisenberg compensator.

“I get why we have a WAF, but can’t you just, like, separate the good SQL injection from the bad SQL injection?” – Developers I work with 😆

Thanks :)

My home instance has some top-shelf custom emojis, so I try to use them. Janeway’s eye roll gets a lot of mileage.

Agh. Beat me to it. 😆

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there’s the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

I work with several people who would think this is a good idea.

When they push it to prod, and our WAF goes 403 on every request, then suddenly it’s my problem to “fix”.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

Until she crawls out for a presidential run in 2028…

Now, that’s not fair. Come on!

They also protest-non-voted for:

• Gestapo in every city
• A federal war on transgendered individuals
• Tariffs on everything and prices skyrocketing
• Corruption the likes of which we’ve never seen
• Firing a sizeable portion of the federal workforce
• Cutting healthcare for those most at-risk
• Gutting education and science
• Rolling back environmental regulations and speed-running climate change
• and more!

Was ST: Generations set in Space Mexico? I’m just now realizing that so many of the scenes are so yellow
