Pinterest is close to peak enshittification. Home feed is almost entirely ads now, and what isn't ads is completely irrelevant to my interests.

The one app where I want the algorithm, and it's completely fucked 🙄

    It's SO WEIRD to watch anglophone TV and hear people unironically refer to their fathers as "daddy". It feels so… fake? Cringe?

    On the one hand, yes, there is of course the cliché that "daddy" in kink is, for someone whose native language isn't English, that might well have been their first exposure to the word.

    But also: in my language, German, we have the word "Vater" (father) and "Papa" (dad), the former very stiff and formal, the latter informal and colloquial.

    Anything beyond that ("Vati", "Papi") is either a relic of old times ("Vati" evoking the 50s to me) or so overly diminuitive that it reminds one of toddler speak ("Papi").

    "Daddy"… doesn't really fit in anywhere. At most, it falls in the "sounds like toddler speak" category, akin to "Papi", as being one step above a baby's first "dada".

    Hearing grown people call their fathers "daddy" (happened to me today when I listened to "Papa Don't Preach" and paid attention to the lyrics for the first time) is extremely jarring. Even more so when it's fathers referring to themselves in the third person (in this Star Trek episode, Magnus Hansen says "daddy wants to talk to you" to his kindergarten daughter).

    Idk, just a funny bilingual experience. Anyone else get this?

    pootriarch,
    @pootriarch@eldritch.cafe avatar

    @amberage +1. i will say though that in 'daddy daddy, if you could only see' it does kind of work for me, in meter, and in her position of pleading for acceptance. but normally, yeah, cringe

    Just spent an hour tracking down a really weird bug wherein one of my arrays would get mutated, seemingly at random.

    So I had the array printed to the console at various points in my code. And that's when shit started to get really really weird.

    So I have two breakpoints, let's call them A and B. At both, I print the array to the console.

    Now, and this has to be an oddity of the browser: at point A the array is just fine, its values exactly as they should be. Because it's a long array, not all values are printed, but I can click on it to expand the view.

    If I do that, I get the completely mangled values I get at point B. I can only explain that as the browser not actually printing the full array to the console and compacting the view, but printing the incomplete array to the console and fetching the full values only later if the view is expanded (which renders the whole debugging pointless, but whatever).

    Anyway, after extensive debug logging, what do I find?

    So I have a function. That function takes an array as an argument and then, as functions do, does things to that array.

    Now, the way programming languages tend to work, you'd think the function, via that parameter, receives a copy of the array to work on.

    Haha.

    No.

    In this function, I have an array.forEach call that mutates this array (if you care to know: it replaces each value with the difference between the median and that value). Naive as I was, I assumed that since this was a local (to the function scope) copy of the array, I could do this.

    Haha. NOPE!

    The function operates on the actual array, for reasons beyond my understanding. In proper programming languages, you would write that as function myFunction(ref myArray) if you expressly wanted the function to work on the original array, but since this is JavaScript, we're doing unannounced open heart surgery on other people's arrays, I guess.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    I have half a mind to write a blog post about this, with more code examples, just to vent my frustration.

    Javascript… fucking Javascript…

    @pootriarch@eldritch.cafe avatar

    @amberage [evil snarl] javascript passes everything by value. if it's not a scalar type, that value is a reference to your thing. these are (taps sign) not pointers pointers are bad so js doesn't have them :sigil:​ 😡​

    I really don’t understand user-hostile infrastructure like this in SF’s public parks. The main argument I’ve heard is that it’s to stop certain classes of visitor from ruining other visitors’ experience, but stereotyping one specific user group (skaters, in this example) is just old-fashioned bigotry.

    Not to mention that this kind of (dubious) strategy isn’t even applied evenly. The worst experiences I’ve had in our public parks have almost entirely involved dogs, but I don’t see anti-dog infrastructure anywhere (heck, I don’t even see respect for, or enforcement of, existing dog regulations most of the time).

    @pmonks whatever i think of packs of skaters, this is a prior decade's problem. kind of like removing shoes at airports. potentially defensible for a moment in time, but now i just get a shell-shaped mound of ouch on my ass
