I’m making a Star Wars joke based on a typo. I know what type coercion is. The joke is that dynamic typing is corroded and disgusting to me. The Star Wars reference being Anakin saying from his perspective the Jedi were evil.

It was obviously a typo

Pita is bad for celiacs because of the gluten.

From my perspective, dynamic typing IS type corrosion!

This is a non technical hill but it is applicable to my technical career. The hill is that REMOTE WORK WORKS. I am so frustrated that so many businesses are going back to hybrid or full RTO.

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I SEE PEOPLE USE A TABLE WHEN BULLET POINTS WOULD WORK IS TOO DAMN HIGH. Tables SUCK is you’re putting long paragraphs randomly in specific places and not others.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. You are so valid for this. Static typing is so so so so so useful.

I hate that AI companies use the ✨ emoji so much.

Space Station 14 is a blast. If you’re really interested in hosting it though you might need a larger friend group. I think you’d need maybe 10 or so people before it actually feels interesting.

Edit: There are plenty of public servers to play on too.

Mint is based on Ubuntu but not made by Canonical. Dint worry about it.

That isn’t just upscaling, it colored it in too. If it just upscaled it’d be different.

Over just a few months makes me think it’s fake. But who knows. Things actually do happen.

Remember when the argument for self driving cars was that they don’t need to be perfect, just better than humans?

In the hell scape of corporate America, I imagine that might be the only time some people get truly alone and able to unwind. So I guess I get it.

Even the memes suck now, say what you want about caption memes and dancing babies and troll face, Pepe, me gusta but that shit was at least comprehensible in humor. go on 67 Wikipedia and it literally says “It has no fixed meaning.”

You lost me here. This is where you start to sound like a boomer. The annoying thing about 67 isn’t that it doesn’t have any sense behind it, it’s the sheer ubiquity that kids say it. Which, unless you have kids or work with kids you probably really aren’t seeing. Look at old MLG montage parody videos. Why was that guy saying “wow” and winking funny? There’s no reason. It is just something we laughed at. 67 is the same.

A lot of everything else you say I resonate with. Ads are getting more intense and ubiquitous. My country is going mask off with fascism and disappearing citizens. There’s a lot to be upset about. I don’t think much of it is related though, you know? Ads just suck because they want more money and that just means showing more ads.

This is some serious advice. Find things to be thankful for, no matter how small, and focus on them. Your perception is your reality. What you fill your mind with is what you see. I know it sort of sounds obvious but, if you’re thinking about miserable things all day you’ll be miserable. If you think about things that make you happy, you’ll be happy. I’m not saying to ignore the bad things or to give up, but you can’t fight back if you’re miserable. It is okay to take a break. It is okay to want to be happy.

If you’re in the northern hemisphere we’re in the time of year that gets dark super duper early. Seasonal affective disorder is real. The older I get the more I realize it. I’m not saying blame your thoughts on it being less sunny, but just be aware it can be a component.

I hope you can find some joy. 💜

Some smoke detectors have some radioactive materials in them.

Yes. Go tell Wikipedia that I won’t open a textbook.

Open a textbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_requests_for_adminship

Tell them, not me.

Go tell Wikipedia about that, not me. It’s a community you can join. You very clearly feel very strongly about it. Talking to me about it isn’t going to change anything.

Wowww. Insisting that they’re good at math. I distinctly remember learning that RPN doesn’t need parentheses in college.

reverse Polish calculators do not need expressions to be parenthesized

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

But, you know, anyone can edit Wikipedia. Someone probably put that there who hasn’t opened a math textbook.
