oof imagine being immortal, but you keep on aging and getting diseases and stuff but they just can’t kill you

Let’s go

We know it reflects light, so that just tells me we haven’t used a big enough laser yet :p

yeah, 98 was trash. 98SE was good

If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it’s obvious what it’s doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often

TBF, pot has played a big role in the making of some great music

No arguments there, if you’re gonna depend on a piece of code, you better own it or have a rock solid plan b.

left-pad was the first thing that came to mind for me

There needs to be two phases though… day and night

And the rich aren’t because they have the time and resources to be healthy

yeah, usually closing time is just buffer time for people to get their affairs in order, move out, inspections, lawyer stuff, etc. If you offer straight up cash and pay a boatload to the lawyers to get the paperwork done up ASAP, you can close likely within a couple weeks

Yes, your total energy consumption drops, but your electricity consumption rises as a result. Electrification of stuff that relied on burning fossil fuels means that electricity consumption goes up even while total energy consumption stays the same or drops. I’m not necessarily saying that nuclear is the solution, but it’s a solution that can at least buy us a few decades for renewables and energy storage to catch up to demand.

The truly infuriating part is there’s likely lots of people out there that got them on the first try or by accident

IIRC, it was Greg Norman’s Shark Attack that had a thing where it would give you a small pixel art picture of the top-down view of a golf course, and you had to go through the game manual and enter in what page that golf course picture appeared on… so we just got a photocopy version of the manual

There’s a reason it’s nickname is helldesk

What I would really like is having a combination between ‘all’ and ‘subscribed’ where it shows ‘all’ posts, but then my subscribed communities get a sort of amplification so they are more likely to appear in my feed, even if posts in my subscribed communities may not get much engagement.

I’m a test automation developer, I’m not necessarily bound by the platform that the application is written in unless I’m writing white-box tests.

subprocess.Popen(["bash one-liner"], stdout=PIPE, stderr-PIPE, text=True)

Web testing is also done in python. Selenium has support in all major Python test frameworks. I’ve done SE-only tests in Robot, hybrid SE/Python using BDD with Behave, etc.

Unless I’m testing a language-specific API, I’m probably going to use Python…
