Why so serious? It’s a goof. I’m not from US, I don’t know how a bill is supposed to be different from a law, It’s all rules and shit that governments enforce.

For a moment there I was majorly confused as I read it:

William says Volkswagen teachers who are pregnant, new mothers would have access to donated sick days.

But the Bill is probably not a name here and the Volkswagen is VW not WV.

The grammar of the headline is still trash tho:

The law says some states teachers who are pregnant, new mothers would have access to donated sick days.

Headbutts my fingers when I pour water for them.

Watched it last year, I quite liked the ending. I did feel some “let’s get this over with” energy, but the ending fit the characters and I can’t say there was anything to break my suspension of disbelief.

I really disliked Daenerys from the start (so I’m biased here) and her “madness” just ramped up rather than came out of nowhere for me.

They did botch Aryas storyline somewhat, which was disappointing, but it didn’t ruin my experience.

Coming into this show all I knew was characters die and everyone hated the ending. When I finished it I didn’t understand what people disliked so much. Yes it was rushed, but I can’t say it was bad. The show had to end and without the source material rather sooner than later. My opinion might’ve been different if I watched the show as it aired (there could’ve been more investment in the story from my side).

What a shit show of a discussion on that issue… Not only is hard coding bad design in general^[1], but doing so for constantly evolving and highly context dependent word list is even worse. Reading the discussion I see their decision as extremely short sighted and arrogant if not just stupid.

easier for humans to use…

And that is my point. The primary purpose for all these abstractions is for humans to use. It’s first and foremost designed to be read and understood by humans, to make programming easier for humans.

You wouldn’t mind writing machine code then? Ok, I’ll give you assembly. It’s all that’s needed to tell a computer what to do.

It’s definitely for humans first and computers second. Compiled, machine code is for computers, everything else are tools so that humans don’t have to deal with machine code. An abstraction made by humans for humans to use.

This is one of the issues I see with LLMs for code: instead of engineering and leveraging machine learning for optimizing specific problems, we’re now forcing text prediction engines to write human oriented text that happens to be a programming language.

Nothing. I’m thirty, not removeded.

What did I miss? Who is this? Why should I care?

I’m pretty happy, actually. The comment was more of a self deprecating, sarcastic humor than anything else.

Whose to say that only Eve could have eaten the fruit. Maybe Adam would’ve eventually be tempted, or maybe they would’ve left on their own, or maybe they would’ve been banished for something else. There’s way too many unknowables to say that something could or couldn’t happen.

Having a sample of one doesn’t say much about the infinite set possibilities. So saying things would be different is just wrong. They could be different and most probably would, but there is no way to guarantee it. It’s unprovable.

This is all assuming we accept the faith based interpretation. If we do not Adam and Eve are just as fictional as Harry Potter and Frodo Bagins, and say nothing about what could’ve happened.

I’ll bite.

We know that you and I wouldn’t exist here and now.

We don’t know what would have been, that’s the point. We only know what “happened”, there’s literally no way to know what could or would have happened. Since we don’t really know, we can’t just say it wouldn’t be the same. I could just as well as an infinite number of other things could.

That’s a fact.

Yeah, no. Lol.

Me being here is no victory. The snake was a fucking villain.

Oh, it’s that format… Yeah, just no

Woosh… 19451203??
Not to mention that having birth date as password is a bad idea in general.

I usually plop the response in a file and nvim that. Or write “3 lines of python” if I need anything more complex.

EDIT:
Never tried jq but read up on it a little, seems hella powerfull. Also, in my workplace postman is the default tool, which I find infuriaring as hell.

I feel personally attacked. I’ve never played CoD, but that’s 100 % what I would do! That being said I suck ass, I’m 30 and I haven’t played any shooters for me to build skill when I was younger. So now whenever I try FPSes I suck too much for it to be even fun. Only exceptions are offline shooters, that can be fun. Fuck other people.

So this is not as bad as some of the other stories I’ve seen, but I’ll bite.

It was an old .NET Framework MVC app. Some internal product management system or something. There was a need to do a PDF export in one of the use cases, so someone implemented it. It wasn’t a good implementation: one big controller, mixing UI and business logic, etc. However, it basically came down to a single private method in a specific controller for a page.

Now time passes and lo and behold, we need a PDF export in another page for a different use case. “No problem,” - same dev, probably - “I already solved this problem. I’ll just reuse the PDF generation logic.”
Now, any sane person would probably try to refactor the code responsible for PDF stuff into a separate service (class) and reuse it. A less sane, but somewhat, acceptable approach would have been to just copy paste the thing into another controller and call it a day.

Ha! No no no no no no… Copy pasting is bad, code should be reused…

The end solution: REFLECTION. So the dev decided that the easiest way to make it work was to: 1) use reflection to inject one controller into another; 2) then use reflection again to get access and call that private method for PDF rendering into a stream.

Fortunately I didn’t have to fix that fragile mess. But I did my fair share of DevExpress corpse hacking and horrible angular “server side rendering” workarounds.

Of course he had no answer for this except “just in case…”

Never in my career have I seen this argument come to fruition as valid.
