It’s taught me that bigger standard libraries are better. You still have similar issues, but at least nobody’s importing LeftPad. And your remaining dependency probably isn’t importing LeftPad either.

Wait til you hear about npm.

Some tea bag brands are really proud that they’ve moved from petroleum based plastic on their bags to PLA.

What the fuck. It’s still plastic, guys. There are a few brands that don’t have any plastic. You have to look them up brand by brand though.

I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but I have been trying to avoid it a little more. And the biggest place to avoid it is soaking it in near boiling water that I’m about to drink.

At least until 72 or so. After that it’s iffy.

Well, uh, which app do you have installed? I hear Grindr has trouble during the CPAC conventions.

Do you have a wide stance in the airport bathroom?

(Btw, these are the same people outlawing porn one state at a time.)

“Men on dating apps who say they’re moderate are conservative”

First, we knew that. Second, Biden is not on a dating app.

The study doesn’t match the headline.

I definitely miss the days of xkcd and smbc on the front page all the time.

The delete key asks what you’d like to delete.

Unless I tell you otherwise, I always want to delete the contents of the cell. If I wanted to clear formatting, I would have done something more than just hit delete.

I absolutely did not want a menu.

Trying to avoid fake tweets while also not sending traffic to Twitter.

In a decade it’ll probably be the same price it was last year.

Here comes the Steam defenders.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot

I mean that’s unironically the problem. When there absolutely are bots out here, how do you tell?

Back then it was just old people trying to groom 16 year olds. Now it’s a nation’s intelligence apparatus turning our citizens against each other and convincing them to destroy our country.

I wholeheartedly believe they’re here, too. Their primary function here is to discourage the left from voting, primarily by focusing on the (very real) failures of the Democrats while the other party is extremely literally the Nazi party.

I’ve been enjoying Copilot quite a bit while developing, particularly for languages that I’m not familiar with. I’m not worried about it replacing me, because I very clearly use my experience and knowledge to guide it and to coax answers out of it. But when you tell it exactly what you want, it’s really nice to get answers back in the development language without needing to look up syntax.

“Give me some nice warning message css” was an easy, useful one.

It’s effectively a better Google search.

I mean, really good intellisense is a great improvement, but it’s not replacing devs any time soon.

Maybe they’re counting the six iterations of code it gives me as I tell it what’s wrong with each one.

I absolutely do. It’s not that the password was wrong. It’s that they wanted to invalidate all existing passwords and make you change it.

The easiest way to do that is for them to force everyone through the “forgot password” workflow. Zero or minimal code changes. They don’t want to make a new, but very similar , “we had a security breach and are requiring you to change your password” workflow. They just don’t care that they’re blaming you for their problem.

It’s always easier to completely rewrite code from scratch than to make small modifications to an existing project.

They absolutely, 1000% need Democrats to win. Maybe not their respective districts, but if they want to get anything done on a national level, they need about half the country on their side, and that includes Democrats.

Now, they can certainly eat the party whole, the way the tea party and MAGA ate the GOP. That involves being more specific than “Democrats bad”. In fact, how did they do it? Did you ever see them telling people to abandon the Republican party?
