I appreciate your capacity to recognize a valid argument even when it conflicts with your initial position ❤️ It’s more than I expect from the average internet commenter

It’s a charicature. I’m not laughing because I think it’s real (which would be kind of mean, anyway, since I’d just be laughing at someone screwing up). I’m laughing because it’s relatable to real experiences many people have had, and because of the added commentary about software development.

Your hyperfocus on reality in media, and failure to see the comedy for what it truly is, is far more cringe than the video 😉

EDIT: it’s like asking why people laugh at the obviously fake stories stand-up comedians tell because they’re made up. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s not the point.

Because there is value in a large group speaking with a unified voice to say “this is wrong, and you need to know that the rest of us think it’s wrong. Your behavior will affect the relationship you have with us all going forward”. Direct intervention isn’t the only form of consequence.

Is it the best solution to the problem? No. Is it still worth doing? Yes.

I don’t give a shit about David Hasselhoff, but Knight Rider without Mr Feeney as KITT wouldn’t be the same

Thwo him to the fwooaa, Centuwion!

ENORMOUS +1 for Sunshine + Moonlight. I’d play just about anything shy of a twitch shooter on it, if your network is nice and stable

Except we know what the lifecycle of physical storage is, it’s rate of performance decay (virtually none for solid state until failure), and that the computers performing the operations have consistent performance for the same operations over time. And again, while for a car such a small amount can’t be reasonably extrapolated, for a computer processing an extremely simple format like JSON, when it is designed to handle FAR more difficult tasks on the GPU involving billions of floating point operations, it is absolutely, without a doubt enough.

You don’t have to believe me if you don’t want but I’m very confident in my understanding of JSON’s complexity relative to typical GPU workloads, computational analysis, computer hardware durability lifecycles, and software testing principles and best practices. 🤷

Imagine you have a car powered by a nuclear reactor with enough fuel to last 100 years and a stable output of energy. Then you put it on a 5 mile road that is comprised of the same 250 small segments in various configurations, but you know for a fact that starts and ends at the same elevation. You also know that this car gains exactly as much performance going downhill as it loses going uphill.

You set the car driving and determine that, it takes 15 minutes to travel 5 miles. You reconfigure the road, same rules, and do it again. Same result, 15 minutes. You do this again and again and again and always get 15 minutes.

Do you need to test the car on a 20 mile road of the same configuration to know that it goes 20mph?

JSON is a text-based, uncompressed format. It has very strict rules and a limited number of data types and structures. Further, it cannot contain computational logic on it’s own. The contents can interpreted after being read to extract logic, but the JSON itself cannot change it’s own computational complexity. As such, it’s simple to express every possible form and complexity a JSON object can take within just 0.6 MB of data. And once they know they can process that file in however-the-fuck-many microseconds, they can extrapolate to Gbps from there

Susanne, you’re all that I wanted of a girl https://youtu.be/wNF_B6_AiPE

Yup! Especially now that there is WingetUI I always check there first when I want to install something new

This used to be true but not anymore

Winget is still pretty young but very functional. And WingetUI is wonderful

And Chocolatey has been around for a long time as an unofficial Windows package manager

I’m opening an issue on your ticket tracker to add filesystem i/o. Let the nightmare commence

Vibe check is your scope declaration (class?)

num is obviously your int class

fr? is your Boolean class

if __ no cap is ’ if __ then’, if cap is ‘else’, sheesh ends the conditional

flex __ on the haters is your echo/print

frfr is your scope ending

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit A

Your misguided attempt at rebellion against capitalism in reality only hurts the grunt that has to pick up after your inconsiderate ass. You think your behavior actually costs the company anything? You think they hire an extra person because of people like you? No. You just make some poor sap at the bottom of the pecking order that much more miserable

Congratulations on making yourself feel righteous at the expense of your fellow plebs

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

PROTIP: Whenever possible, shape/place the food you’re heating like a donut. ( O )

Microwaves need to penetrate the food; if it’s a big lump, it’s hard to reach the stuff in the middle. By using a “donut” shape, you are creating more surface area, and spreading out the “middle” so it’s easier for microwaves to reach all the parts of the food equally

I aim to cause this type of psychological damage whenever possible

Chicken stock

Yeah, you told me a sad story in a thread about other people. You turned it into a conversation about yourself instead of thinking about the perspective of others

You’re the one not listening. I’ve been talking about other people this entire time and all you can think about is yourself and how hard it was for you and your bad memories.

I’m doing fine. I don’t need your support. I’m not asking for your support. Not once have I told you that you should support me.

I’m trying to tell you that compassion is free. You aren’t being asked to take care of anyone. You’re being asked not to place the blame at the feet of people who are suffering, and not to point at people who struggle and call them sick because “only an unwell person would do that.”

You sound really narcissistic. Even your efforts to come off as supportive were performative and came back around to “but I said the thing, so I’m the good guy”.

I don’t think you’re being aggressive. I don’t think you’re being mean. I don’t think you’re angry or hateful.

I think you’re selfish.

Muting you now so I don’t keep seeing your self-pitying excuses for why you should shun those who struggle with mental health. It’s really starting to make me sick

This will be my last response:

Going through that? It’s not something I’m “going through”. It’s a condition I’ve had almost all my life and it’s well managed for a long time now. I’m not asking for your support. Just your understanding. And that’s what you don’t get. Compassion costs you nothing, but you can’t even do that

✌️
