I use Dropbox too. Though I have to admit, when running code you sometimes have to pause sync otherwise it interferes with code execution. But definitely worth the peace of mind. Sometimes you don’t want to commit stuff until you’re sure that it works.

Except y’all have nuclear weapons and the rest of us mostly don’t. When you’re done with your local genocides the US will inevitably turn outwards for a scapegoat.

2024 lol. Maybe senior dev is an overstatement, he was just more senior than me. He also left a database where the main table had one varchar, freetext column that users wrote multiple fields into because it was a ‘simpler user experience’ . Was a pain to extract all those fields with regex…

Lmao. I once had a senior dev put database passwords into documentation, and then was about to email those out to interview candidates with the passwords ‘blacked’ out. I caught it quick enough before it could be sent thankfully.

Yea it’s way too optimistic to presume these companies will not lash out in their death throes. They’d destroy as much as possible on their way out.

R and tidyverse is really amazing, the syntax is so natural I rarely need to check the docs on anything to quickly do basic data transformation/plotting. Definitely more intuitive than pandas (and I learnt that first).

Knew at least one of y’all would post this

Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.

There are a tonne of apartment balconies that are just afterthoughts by the developer though. I see plenty that are narrow to the point of being useless, or 30 floors up with no enclosed overhang which just generally feels kinda terrifying.

It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

I love using Wednesdays to clear leave (I know, not the best day in terms of utility for holidays and stuff) as you essentially create a new Friday. Work is so much more bearable.

Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?

I haven’t gone back to rsync in a long time.

Nah you gotta alias ls -a to la for more efficiency.

Honestly I liked it initially but it got boring quickly, just generally the same pattern of runs.

I use dust all the time at work, it’s fantastic.

I never watched sixth sense but I’ve already had it spoiled :(

They make really good coasters, will recommend.

The river eels are considered ‘trash fish’ to some here but they’re delicious, tastes just like Japanese eels. They’re just a bit of a pain to skin and prepare.

I actually read this recently and I don’t think he’s autistic, but he was definitely written intentionally to show how a fairly confident, competent person (bordering on smug, but not quite) would struggle on prism.
