apparently abolishing the central bank and switching to the dollar

this comment made me feel the draw of dillusional thought, it felt good to read those fake headlines and I didn’t want it to stop

ok then just use salt water. You’re welcome nerds!

I always uninstall nano the first time it shows itself

in a registry though? maybe the registry in windows is so hard to work with and automate that it is the reason that Linux took all of windows market share for computers that do work (everything but desktops)

a dev can build a thing, an engineer can build a distributed modular thing with more complexity around non programming parts like infrastructure. Take the thing and design a machine of parts and each can be maintained, observed, and optimized as needed. For example we can use topics for backpressure and consumer lag for auto scaling pods, but then you have to consider the distributed processing for duplication, out of order, throughput… there is no exact line in the sand between dev and engineer but that’s how I think of it.

this made my heart rate go up a little bit in a way that doesn’t feel good

lots of tutorials in different languages, a base project that you start to rewrite over and over forever whenever you aren’t motivated to do something else. write scripts to start new projects with a readme, git, a logger, and a unit test or two. You should be able to run a command to have a new working project ready to test any new library or idea. don’t be afraid to write code and not use it. writing is the point itself.

here I go getting rage baited into feeling ragey again

I stared at that image and could not tell wtf it was. Looks like a dogs belly but there is weird hair where the legs should be.

SQL scouts credo: I will never use indexes, I will always use column names.

yes please

disk is cheap and it’s easier to test exact versions of dependencies. As a user I’d rather not have all my non OS stuff mixed up.

fuck this, how would you feel if the pedestrian was your family. how do people deal with tragedy like that without… losing the will to be civil?

this seems like a good place to ask - why are some bodies of water called ‘sound’? Like the Puget Sound in Seattle?
