The execs think they’re hiring someone to churn out code, and some people are better at that, like everything else. They don’t understand that they need someone that can figure out what code needs to be written, and why, and that they need someone that gets what the difference is and that there’s always someone that writes better code.

E: Also why I’m not worried about LLMs replacing devs. It ain’t just code.

The movie is great too. It’s on Peacock.

I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

I’m as offended by receiving survey requests for any and everything I buy or pay online. If it weren’t disingenuous I’d be fine with it, but it’s usually the retail marketing version of a push poll. There’s no way that they would get that something is off based on the normalized survey values without reading the non-normalized text box that corporate probably doesn’t care about. Therefore, they get a consistent value of 1, (you suck) to every question. If I had a positive experience I just don’t bother unless some poor bastard went out of their way to help me.

If you cook them until they’re mush with plenty of oil/butter, a bit more salt than I’d like to admit, pepper, dill, and a few drops of hickory smoke flavor, they’re amazing.

Double spaces after periods can create “rivers.” This makes text more difficult to read for those with dyslexia. Whatever is used as a text editor is probably stripping them out for accessibility reasons. I suppose double spaces made sense with monospaced fonts.

Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.

At least there wasn’t a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.

Those drawers pull all the way out if you want to them to. :)

I tell people that once you make your own mayo with quality ingredients you’ll not want to buy the mass produced stuff. I started making it because everything in the stores uses the cheapest fucking ingredients possible. To your point, it’s eggs, oil, acid, and spices. Not a lot to hate there.

Modern PHP is better because it’s modern. Which early version of a programming language was good? I’ve used a lot of them, and by modern standards, I think dog shit is a somewhat appropriate description for most of them.

Furthermore, we kind of have rules for accessibility.

I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.

Need a simple end to end encrypted email solution, and for regular users to understand that solution isn’t Gmail for fax to die. The health and financial sectors are keeping fax alive, and it isn’t completely their fault.

Reminds me of Matt Berry as Lazlo in What we do in the Shadows.

The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.

The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.

They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.

They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

Do they ever test anything that’s not on a huge screen before rolling to prod?

I feel this way all the time. I used to have to tell my (often less experienced) coworkers “that’s unusable on a device, which is how 75% of our traffic will consume it.”

It was usually because it looked nice on a huge monitor, and in an emulator.

It’s still commonly used in STEM fields.

Fuji makes some really nice SLRs, and their glass is exceptional. Also, you don’t need to install software if you don’t want to.
