Above and below the page/plane is the z-axis.
But some people “hold” the page up in front of them, or down on the table.


We used to say the same thing about Messenger.


Time to teach your friends and family that if they’re going to keep playing on the corporate intranet then they need to migrate from time to time to stay ahead of the tide of enshitification.
Or they could join the free internet that is actually by and for people, but far be it from me…


Ds9? I don’t watch shows anymore, though I like remembering it


The underwater episode is great though, tbf


Oh wow I haven’t played since the original Source. I thought you were just talking about how you had to manage an equipment budget in a match. But no, legit gambling scheme with real time and money for what amounts to NFTs that can only be used within Steam’s ecosystem.


The vast majority of their players are just addicts who fell victim to the predatory mechanisms.
I don’t play Fortnite, but the only players I know are kids, and they just play it because that’s what everyone else is playing and they want to play with their friends. I’m not excusing the company for monetizing the shit out of it, but (anecdotally) the players’ behaviour just reminds me of me and my friends playing Dooms, UTs, or Quakes back in the day.


You’re going to want to follow the “campsite rule” everywhere you go, and also sneak in positive refactors into your feature changes (if business is not willing to commit time to improving the maintainability of the codebase).
Read up on good software design principles. I don’t know you experience level, but for instance, everyone agrees that appropriate abstraction, and encapsulation make code easier and more enjoyable to work with, and will let you run tests on isolated sections of the code without having to do a full end-to-end testsuite run.
Having tests that you trust, especially if they execute quickly, will increase your “developer velocity” and let you to code fearlessly–knowing that your changes are reasonably safe to deploy. (Bugs and escaped defects will happen, but you just fix them and continue on.)
Good luck!


The fact that documentation and comments can’t “fail” if the underlying code changes is a real problem. I’ve even worked at places which dictated that comments had to go directly above or even beside (inline) with the code they were explaining, so they would show up in any patches changing the code.
What do you think happened? Yup, people would change code and leave the outdated (and wrong) comment untouched, directly to the right of the code they just changed.
Hell, I was one of those people, so I get how it can happen.


omfg that’s over 1 MILLION characters 💀 💀 💀

Translation: please help us understand our codebase. We’re paralyzed by fear.


Same mood when people complain about corpo media
I feel for them, but they should know they are making a choice by staying
Yeah I kind of didn’t like that word as I was writing it. Similar to how “tutoring” literally means to “straighten” or basically to inculcate to normativity.
Meanwhile, “insight” or “inspiration” is something that you do yourself […]
Good edit, this is a better word choice.
I would replace intelligent with well educated, at least
Even just reducing our global meat consumption would make me so happy. Let it’s insane to me that there is what amounts to my eyes as a wall of tortured flesh in every grocery store, and my tofus and veggie dogs take up like half of two shelves next to the fresh vegetables.
I can’t wrap my head around eating meat every day, but there are people who eat meat at every meal.


Where is this coming from? I don’t think an LLM can code at the level of a recent cs grad unless it’s piloted by a cs grad.
Maybe you’ve had much better luck than me, but coding LLMs seem largely useless without prior coding knowledge.


I’m not above slinging a little spaghetti if it pays the bills.
Depends on the operation. It’s pretty easy in ranger or vifm.
