  • Looking through these comments I don’t know what half of this stuff is and I don’t think I want to.

    My wife’s freind came over the other day and asked me if I could fix her new glasses because they were crooked, being polite I said I liked them (they’re hideous but to each their own), and she responded “thanks they’re D and G, they only cost me $700”. These were $700 glasses with no additions. No blue light thing, no scratch resistant stuff.

    I don’t care for that.







  • My job used to outsource a bunch of dev work to another company and oh boy did those people love their tests. I don’t get it. In my case they weren’t even using our actual database to pull data from. They had a bunch of fixture files with generic data that they would use to make a temporary sqlite db for the tests. All of the test ran perfectly with that data, not so much with the actual data. The code is there, can’t you just read it and know what will happen?

    When I write something I’m never not building it and at least checking that it works and trying to break it.




  • Back in my early days of Linux I ran this exact command, I forget why, but for some reason my WiFi stopped working immediately after and then SELinux started yelling at me for some reason. I tried to fix SELinux and most certainly commited an innumerable amount of cardinal sins.

    I had to reinstall whatever distro I was running at the time




  • I can’t think of a single thing I would trust chat gpt with, especially when it come to my kids.

    I’m trying to rationalize what you could even ask it that’s not a single Google search away with a forum or blog post written by (hopefully) human fucking beans who have gone through the same thing you’re experiencing and figured it out.

    For every parenting question you have there’s 100 different answers, at least 20 of them are reasonable, pick one of those 20 and figure it out.

    While writing this I tried something. Chat gpt told me a 4 month old needs around 14 ounces of milk in a day if their breast feeding. Which is about half the actual number. I think the recommendation is ~25 /day, my kid drinks ~30. If I gave him 14 a day I think he’d learn how to walk just to kill me.
