  • Yelling at a rock won't change it into a rocking chair, neither does yelling at a rock change you a rock.

    Behavior and nature are separate, it's dumb to argue with idiots, but acting like an idiot once doesn't make you one (necessarily)

    I wonder if Confucius was really just a shit poster before the internet

  • This is a shitpost, but your response is clearly taking it seriously, so I'm responding in kind. Your response is an appeal to tradition, a logical fallacy and not a valid defense of anyone's behavior.

    The dnc has made many mistakes, any single good decision they've made isn't an honest defense of current poor actions.

    They should not have railroaded bernie, they failed to present a valid narrative and lost to djt twice? Wtf

  • Oh like all of the material of your body was food, at first I thought you just had really bad grammar and meant "all of you" meaning allb of us readers or something and all the comments were just keeping up the bit

  • My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you'd expect for your first one.

    Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate

  • Vscode when I'm feeling productive, neovim when I'm feeling saucy

    Hate pretty much every other ide out there, but do occasionally get forced into Android studio or xcode. Xcode is the worst, msvs a close second.

    One day a multi cursor first multi-language extension lightweight ide will replace vscode I'm sure but it's solid for now.

  • "Which is bad news for developers"

    Nah, we've been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I'm not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.

    Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it's mostly just cutting down on the question duplication

    My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.

  • Binary search, there are so many instances where problems in life can be solved by eliminating half of a given set repeatedly.

    Blender broken? There are only so many things that can go wrong, analyze the situation and try to find something that cuts your problem in half.

    1. Is the light on? It’s not electricity and that's a huge chunk of what makes a blender work.
    2. Light not on? Well now you've eliminated (temporarily) mechanical systems and electrical remains. Further splitting that part of the blender means either house power or internal blender power, check the outlet with another machine

    This approach involves further splitting the problem into 2 as evenly as possible each time. It doesn’t make sense to whip out the multimeter if the on light isn't shining, you don't need to check on your house's breakers if the light is on, etc.

    This system works for troubleshooting almost anything, all you have to do is find chokepoints and identify sections of your target. Toilet not flushing, faucet not on, car not starting, neck pain, allergies, it's almost harder to think of something it doesn't apply to.

  • Life is often not about how hard you work or how good you are, it's often just about how lucky you have been. Were you born fortunate, were you lucky enough to get the job you needed, lucky to have been taught and understand financial literacy, lucky enough to avoid major health complications, lucky enough to be "smart" etc.

    Frankly it's incredible that we live as long as we do with the utter lack of compassion and community in the world.

    I'm not going to financially contribute to your cause, which makes me complicit in your suffering, I'm sorry for that. I hope that your suffering is reduced and that your "luck" improves.

  • Finding community in the modern age requires you to get interested and participate in something specific. Specific communities are often on Discord or equivalent, for example I'm super into some very specific video games with thriving communities, into specific genres of books and have found like minded people, love chatting about specific computing topics, etc. Specialize your interests and find others who have done the same

  • How does the whole vampire thing work anyways? Like if there's a hole in the wall breaking the integrity of the house are they still barred? How much of the house can be removed before it's no longer considered a house? A whole wall? In that case could the police vampire just drill a hole or remove a wall?

  • I've made apps in tons of different ways, kotlin with jetpack compose, react native, cordova, old school java activities.

    Imo cross platform is the way to go, react native has been the easiest to maintain for me, I have 4 production react native apps that have been fairly successful and easy to maintain. My two biggest complaints are the difficulty of running on desktop, and the pain of upgrading react native versions. Expo sucks but it's the best we have and does help with upgrading.

    Flutter is fine, dart is not my favorite but it's definitely worth looking into.

    I looked into the tiktok platform, didn't really speak to me tbh
