hmm

Farm & Feast has 4 hidden achievements for failing at stuff and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have a hard time doing some of them with my progress in the game and you can't have multiple saves so I'm probably gonna have to mess around with manually backing up my save

@Daveography You're in Vic? Why the heck didn't you notify me? Are you still here? If you are, let's meet up before you leave. I'd love to show you a few places here.

@Nonilex they just can’t bring themselves to call his behavior what it is—traitorous

I love finding a detailed, helpful code comment that I wrote 3 years ago. Thanks, past me.

#Alonzo news: I've now unit-tested equivalents to Haskell's Either type, as well as an Any type. That Any type required the fixes, Either didn't.

Namely I added some more branches to handle the underlying "forall" clause, & I gave "forall" precedence in dispatching subtyping tests.

I think I'll finish this part of the codebase tomorrow!

This week, we talked about networked (vs not-networked) social movements and learned about the ways that this interdisciplinary field makes sense of the relationship between mobilization and ICTs. But then some feelings came out during crafting hour...

@carnage4life I like how he's assuming that even Daniel J himself and his family accidentally voted for him and actually meant to vote for Dan S

@robdaemon 😁

Wait Jensen had another affair? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ai6yr @pmonks @jeridansky
Did he at least offer to swab whatever with mercurichrome like my mom used to do with ours scrapes and such?

"But we've always been at war with Jensen Haunge's sex life"

For software and UX, are two kinds of translation:

- cultural (language, and others)
- system-level (CPU architecture, graphics layer, etc.)

@bigzaphod If you’re a Mac user, try the DeskRest app. It’s helped me a lot with reminders to watch my posture and to take breaks every 20 min.

I suffer from vestibular migraines, so everything neck and shoulder related is paramount for me now.

With PT, ask them how you can do as much as possible at home. I’ve found with PT that aside from the massages, most of the routines are easily replicated at home. And they’re generally happy to share this info with you.

@nev I don't doubt it! My eyes glazed over trying to type my banausic example. I can only assume the bots are digesting a lot of agent.md files of late, and weighting towards "that's how humans write" when someone asks for help drafting a birthday card message...

"Hi Cathy,

An annual solar orbit completes. Biological age increments by one integer, zero manual intervention. Short message scanned visually, retina input cascades, dopamine secretes. Orbit continues.

Love Jan xx"

I can attest with the utmost confidence that every developer or manager or whoever that claims "all code written by AI is reviewed by a human" is a boldfaced lie.

AT BEST they have quickly skimmed it, but more likely they've not looked at it at all.

Actually reading code THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE YOURSELF takes quite a bit of time, and the one thing that people who use AI tooling care most about is just how fast it makes things.

They will not spend the time needed to actually read it.

@Daveography I have been vocal about this fact for years.

oh fucking snap

… what I all see when doing things for others or money…
