We know! We all know! The problem is a good chunk of people support it, and a bafflingly large chunk don’t care

One time I was meeting someone for a second date. I got a seat at a table outside. There’s a fence and a gate between that area and the sidewalk.

I see her walk by. She sees me. She waves. She keeps walking and is gone.

I’m have so many questions. I text her.

Turns out she didn’t know there was a gate in the fence there and thought you had to go like around the long way, but for solid moment I thought she was like aggressively standing me up.

We dated for a few years and are still friends.

Other people have good answers already. Chiefly to ask questions and talk through your reasoning.

But also I’ve noticed the difficulty of interview questions varies wildly. Some places would give dynamic programming problems I’m terrible at. Others would give trivial "find the largest number in this array of integers, in python. Don’t worry about efficiency. " problems.

I enjoyed playing Baldur’s gate 3 as a rogue, playing it like a assassin’s creed game. Nothing but stealth attacks and running away. Never get into a full combat if possible.

Use a dedicated data type or library. Some languages also have something like python’s Decimal type

>>> .1 + .2
0.30000000000000004
>>> Decimal(".1") + Decimal(".2")
Decimal('0.3')

Yep. Open your browser’s console and do .1 + .2 and you get 0.30000000000000004.

One of the reasons not to use floating point when working with money.

I went back to windows for a few months on the newer desktop. I installed mint and discovered it had a lot of problems with the hardware. HDMI, Ethernet, WiFi, and various downstream things didn’t work. I fixed some of it with help from forums and such, but eventually I went back to windows.

But a couple months later, I tried Pop!_OS and that has worked perfectly out of the box. No regrets.

I decided I was done with reddit. I never used apps so I just signed out of my account and never went back.

Isn’t Yarvin an absolute scumbag who believes in enslaving others and other evils? Hope he meets an embarrassing end.

Musk is scum and I’m eagerly awaiting the day he’s no longer shitting up the world.

I’m surprised there isn’t more “And then someone followed the ICE agents home and shot them dead in their driveway” happening yet.

Be funny if that did happen, and the jury refused to indict. I think our faith in institutions are so low that that’s plausible, now.

replaced with a government that serves the will of its citizens.

What are we going to do about the 20 to 40 percent of people who support ICE and other horrors?

edit for clarity: replace “this” with concrete

Ed Zitron wrote an article a while ago about Business Idiots. From what I recall, the people in charge of these big companies are out of touch with users and the product, and so they make nonsense decisions. Companies aren’t run by the best and brightest. They’re run by people who do best in that environment.

Microsoft seems to be full of business idiots.

Is this what tiktok is? I’ve never delved into that slop

This format of text over face is kind of weird. I feel like it’s the “motivational poster” template of the mid 2020s.

I don’t think Microsoft makes great decisions. They’re not as bad as Google, but it doesn’t seem like they deliver what users want.

They’ll probably spend billions on AI when users would rather just have a cheaper longer lasting device. But they gotta make maximum money, I guess.

Fed up with Microsoft. I had a windows 10 computer they said couldn’t update to windows 11, and they said Recall was coming, so I said fuck it. Switched to mint, and now I’m trying pop!_os.

Way back like 10+ years ago I ran Ubuntu for a while, but I play a lot of video games and support was lacking. Wine, proton, and other tools have come a long way since then.

I’ve tried to play it a couple times but it’s just too slow. If it had an option to run at like 150% speed maybe that would help.

This is more elegant and detailed than my usual “hang them”.

Booleans work in any order. A and B is the same value as B and A

Unless you’re interpreting the phrase as “have your cake and then eat it too”? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.
