I don't know why I keep thinking I'll like brussel sprouts.

I had a cigar the other day and on the label it said "handmade factory smoke".

Needless to say, it wasn't a good cigar, but the contradiction of that label will haunt me for a while.

This is one of the greatest goods that has brought to our society.

Idiot criminals can't help but brag. They used to brag to their friends in private. Now they brag to their friends on public platforms with search bars.

I don't understand these insane masochists who write back-end web code in javascript.

@LouisIngenthron The idea was, why have two languages, one for front-end, one for backend. Then the dream was a unified app framework, generating js for each side. The world has moved on and the js/app world is decadent. If you only have Android, I guess the dream persists with Kotlin?

@tedherman Ugh. Javascript can barely handle the front end. We need real languages to handle the hard work on the back end. To do otherwise is to doom oneself to a legacy of extensibility and maintainability issues.

The key to Italian cooking is knowing how much noodles and garlic you'll need for the number of people you're serving.

(Hint: the answer to both is "more")

Man, fuuuuck SquareSpace. They have to buy out other systems to get customers and then they use every dark pattern in the book to try to keep them. Can't wait to migrate from this backwater piece of shit system.

@LouisIngenthron there a good replacement of SquareSpace that is affordable as I don’t want to roll my own website anymore for the future redo of it.

@WiredForFlight Depends what you need. For me, it was only hosting my domain names, because Google Domains closed and gave SquareSpace their business.

If you need the full domain-to-webhosting pipeline, I've consistently heard good things about WordPress (and there are lots of third-party WordPress hosts too that offer relatively cheap cloud hosting for little guys).

What kind of idiot would allow a visual-camera-based-autopilot to drive in foggy weather?

And that's before you get to the fact that the autopilot in question is known for being buggy.

When I was young, I was always impressed by the big stunts in action movies.

These days I'm impressed when the hero gets up and keeps running after falling over.

WTAF. My state government is banning COLORS.

Fucking colors. Like, fractions of the light spectrum. Banned on Florida bridges.

Batshit crazy.

Every time a fellow programming contractor I enjoy working with leaves a project, I immediately wish I had enough money to hire them to work on my own projects.

There's no better interview than working together with someone for months on end on someone else's dime.

Just saw a car with bumper stickers "let me merge lanes or I'll cry" and "normalize hitting the curb" and all I could think in response was "normalize learning how to fucking drive."

A version of Calvinball that merges cards, dice, D&D, and other games with a frenetically dynamic rule system would be:

I will never understand people who enjoy grinding in video games.

What, your day job isn't monotonous enough?

@weilawei@mastodon.online avatar

@LouisIngenthron I find it super hard to get motivated about games that require intense, careful strategizing to succeed.

Caveat that I play mostly strategy/tactics when I play anything at all these days, but I play fast and loose.

It becomes less interesting if I -have- to work at it; I'd rather be programming if I'm going to put in that kind of effort.

LouisIngenthron,
@LouisIngenthron@qoto.org avatar

@weilawei Yep, same. Why would I waste a perfectly good decision paralysis on a game? 😆

Performance sucks? Can't find anywhere worthwhile to optimize?

Time to jump off the multi-threading cliff!
