People like this are the reason AI is so unreliable at exploring code issues.
Like, I just want Copilot to look at my dependencies to explain a vague error I’m seeing and it’s telling me to downgrade Ruby, upgrade Rails, and install Python. Bro, it’s a node package.
I think this is just a picky optimization.
The first one runs the constructor to instantiate a new string, then gets its class (which is presumably a static property anyway). The second doesn’t have to run any constructor and just grabs the static class name from the type.
Maybe there’s more implementation nuance here but it seems like an opinionated rule that has zero effect on performance unless that code is being called thousands of times every second. And even then the compiler probably optimizes them to the same code anyway.
Wasn’t it Visual SourceSafe or something like that?
God, what a revolution it was when subversion came along and we didn’t have to take turns checking out a file to have exclusive write access.
Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.
A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.
Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.
I think I’m at my wit’s end with “smart” things.
Roomba? It takes less time to just vacuum the place than it does for the fucking vacuum to realize it’s been humping the same chair leg for most of its battery charge.
Assistants?
“Hey Google, open the bedroom blinds”
“Sorry, that device hasn’t been configured yet”
“Hey Google, open the bedroom blinds”
“Sure, turning 2 lights on”
“Hey Google, open the bedroom blinds”
“Sure, opening the blinds”
I was coming around a bend on a really wide, “gentle“ road behind a business park. It had no cars parked on the street and was wide open with little traffic.
Come around the corner and see, right in the middle of the road, a driving school car flipped on its roof. No other cars around, no hazards. Just a perfectly placed car on its head, even pointed down the road as though some movie prop guys had installed it.
Standing beside it was a very bored and sad looking cop directing traffic. I think he was tired of every passing car taking a picture as they drove by.
My apartment complex has a Facebook group that serves the same purpose. It’s kind of a mess.
Last week someone posted their security camera footage showing some homeless guy (in his-vis) casing their patio. The neighborhood watch quickly confirmed this scumbag had been poking around the property for days. A police report was created. People went out looking for him.
A couple hours later, the maintenance guy replies to the thread saying the guy is a contractor fixing damaged decks. There are signs up everywhere about it. People got email notifications. And yet they still found a way to create a panic and also waste the cops’ time.
Any time there’s a “popular” thread in that group, it’s always something like that.
My advice is to never join any online community with your neighbors. It’ll just scare you by how fucking stupid the average person is.
What if I watched the entire porn spoof?
Never have I ever seen Titanic.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.
If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.
When Windows 95 was still sold on floppy, it came on 25 fucking floppies in the box.
So I say put Windows 38 on them.
Not a doctor, but I wouldn’t assume a cream and a tablet will function the same way for the same problem.
One thing you could try: instead of showering, take a bath. Soak in the water for a while, then dry off and apply the cream right away. Obviously doesn’t help for everything, but in my experience, having well hydrated skin makes a lot of things sting a lot less.
It looks like it gives birth to Cybertrucks.
The universal problem is that there’s no shared definition of what a downvote represents. Is it “this is spam and should be removed”? “I don’t like this”? “This doesn’t belong here”? “I want to see less of this”? “I disagree”?
That’s not even a Reddit problem - it’s innate to any social media voting apparatus. Extend it to Facebook, even. Does the laugh reaction mean I’m laughing with you or at you?
Most comments and posts I’ve downvoted have been because I accidentally swiped too far right and my upvote changed to the downvote action and I didn’t even notice. So those downvotes don’t even mean anything!
I think the right answer is to stop worrying about votes. Even if they all mean the same thing they’re still meaningless. It’s better to change your post and comment sorting setting than to try to social engineer a way out of it.
Especially if they died and taught everyone else to not eat that thing.
What about Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html
It supports Gantt charts and has a pretty nice language for modifying chart content once you get used to it.
I use Obsidian with the Mermaid plugin for offline work, but there are tons of good web-based options out there, too.
The last few phones I had wouldn’t power on if they didn’t have a minimum battery charge, even when plugged in. That’s to ensure a minimal amount of available power to be able to boot the phone. I wonder if the phone would have the same restriction with a missing battery and not just a drained battery…
I assume you’re concerned about the battery eventually blowing up from being on the charger forever?
The most common thing I’ve seen are projects where it acts like a screen or control panel on the wall. Something that’s a fixture or art project.
You don’t need it for anything like music or games - your new phone will be more convenient and run those things better anyway.
A friend of mine stuck an old tablet on the wall and connected it via Bluetooth to his keg system. It gave him a permanent status readout on his beer temperature and how much was left in each keg. It just had a power cable plugged in all the time so it didn’t need to be charged.
Excuse me, but it’s industry practice to always use PlusJs.
Its just annoying that it has its own dependency on MinusJs.
