I thought you guys don’t celebrate it that much any more? Heard it got replaced with a Trump Birthday Military Parade Day or someshit. And it sucked so much that nobody is doing holidays anymore. Sorry, I’m in Europe, the news are coming in slowly from the US these days

Why am I reminded of one old comic? It went like this:

(Scientists on an Antarctic base)
Scientist 1: (Finishes talking about something normal)
Scientist 2: (Disheveled and visibly unhinged) “Well none of that shit matters. Do you know what happened to my stack of Playboy magazines?”
Scientist 1: (Now also suddenly disheveled and visibly unhinged, whips out a knife) “They’re mine now!”
Scientist 2: (Also whips out a knife) “Oh yeah?”
Scientist 1: “Yeah! What are you gonna do about it?”
(Altercation ensues)

Oh yeah, they have a plan all right.

Now, the plan isn’t any good and everyone gets screwed, even them.

But it is, technically speaking, a plan!

Yet another unrealistic music video. It’s a relatively short song and Eclipse will not start fast enough.

*long slow stare* …but WHY THOUGH?

does not feel the law itself is at fault and instead blames Democrats for scaring medical professionals into confusion over their responsibilities

Well, of course this law change doesn’t faze a Republican, because they feel like they are able to do whatever the hell they want regardless of what the law says.

Unfortunately, the people who operate in the real world have to actually consider the consequences of their actions and whether they might be breaking the law. So the fact that the laws concerning the doctors’ field of endeavour have been fucked around with makes them understandably confused. Not their fault they’re confused. In fact, being concerned about the legality is definitely an indication of professionalism.

“I’m not super familiar with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. What, exactly, does a pool boy even do?”

“Uhhhh… The wife.”

Organisational inertia. Planes are expensive, and getting them and qualified personnel to fly and maintain them is a long and complicated process for the airline companies (and the governments supporting the airlines).

They get the news about Boeing being crap, but they can’t just reverse a decision in one day, because the decision to go with Boeing was made years or decades ago.

I don’t have that many tabs open. I keep them neat and tidy!

Now, the bookmarks… 😩

As a young nerd, I was happy that the national broadcaster decided to show history documentaries every week.

I was kind of disappointed that it devolved into a World War 2 Hour. But I guess it was inevitable.

(At least we don’t have the History Channel, otherwise known as the H—)

Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today?

I recommend checking out Python (Django) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails) if you want nice and easy modern Web frameworks that also aren’t that weird if you have PHP experience.

Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I’ve tried everything to understand.

Versioning your code with Git makes it much easier to experiment with new ideas. Cocked up a file? Pull it from the previous version. Create new branches for experiments, merge them in if they work, toss them if they don’t, or keep them around just in case, without them ever getting in your way in the “real” version.

And if you keep the code in a server (GitHub etc), that gives you a backup location and makes it easier to work on code on multiple systems.

Reminds me of how in some old Unix system, /bin/true was a shell script.

…well, if it needs to just be a program that returns 0, that’s a reasonable thing to do. An empty shell script returns 0.

Of course, since this was an old proprietary Unix system, the shell script had a giant header comment that said this is proprietary information and if you disclose this the lawyers will come at ya like a ton of bricks. …never mind that this was a program that literally does nothing.

“Cubist”, or as the old-timers call it, “the Management insisted that this thing must work on MSIE 6, and we didn’t have the budget to make it work on anything else”

Which is why I’ve mostly been a console peasant. PC games are like “So let’s spend 5 minutes installing extra shit. And maybe 15 minutes screwing with the settings and fixing compatibility. Oh and are you ready for The Modern Scourge, the Hell that is shader precompilation? We’ll be here for a while.”

Modern games are a little bit better, but yeah…

…It’s okay. I’ve programmed in far far worse languages. …It’s got its advantages. It’s got it’s problems. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: If you need a serious answer: Much like BASIC, it’s a language often used in teaching programming. In that sense, I guess it’s much better than BASIC. You can, like, actually use it on real world applications. If you’re using BASIC for real world applications in this day and age something has gone really wrong.

experts warn that retrofitting it to meet presidential security standards could take years, cost hundreds of millions more, and risk national security due to potential embedded surveillance.

Oh, but that’s the mindset from before the current administration. Back when presidential whims were at least moderated by process and oversight. Back when people believed that it didn’t matter if America elected a ridiculous tinpot dictator, because they couldn’t do anything just by themselves, the rest of the government was there to see the law and procedures were to be followed at all times. Now? Nobody in the White House cares. Donnie wants a jet, Donnie gets a jet.

…Dunno, sounds like a you problem to me.

If using plain CSS, usually it’s enough to set width appropriately, and margin-left and margin-right to auto.

If using a Modern Frontend/CSS Framework, then may God have mercy on your poor soul.

(Seriously I just started a new project with TailwindCSS and I’m so confused. But not entirely desperate yet.)

I dunno, most of my experience from Docker comes from docker compose, and it’s “put this thing in a file and edit it and then run docker compose up -d”.

So if anything, it’s best illustrated with the old meme of a dog typing on a computer going “I have no idea what I’m doing”.
