likewise, with ligatures!

hi Steve ☺️

on the one hand, yes, I write software and take showers when I'm stumped because it's a great way to think through it.

on the other hand the world didn't need an article about it.

seems to indicate this reports factually with loaded wording, so it seems likely this happened

beautiful kids 😊

as replied elsewhere, yeah I agree that's insanely irresponsible, but we didn't know that until now.

agree completely. that's fucked. I accept it may not have been malicious but it's crazy irresponsible.

but that detail came out a day after the guy baying for his blood above, my point was if you have no idea what actually happened, focus on having compassion for people affected, not immediately getting a pitchfork and yelling for "justice".

that kind of justice... well, it usually isn't justice.

ohhhh I've been there! Freezing day but still gorgeous

in a world with dwindling resources people are satisfied with something they already own. sounds wonderful.

here it is: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/08/daylesford-pub-crash-driver-what-happened-driver-diabetes-insulin

you want to jail everyone who drives an SUV for life?

i mean i fucking hate SUVs and melbourne is absolutely filthy with them - i absolutely think they should have a tax penalty to discourage anyone living there from owning them needlessly, but still - if this is some older farmer who had an unexpected minor stroke and has to wake up to the news he's killed five people, i'm not going to be standing in the fucking hospital berating him about his choice of car and trying to make him feel like a murderer. that's absolutely fucking awful.

have some opinions on sensible car regulation, sure, but this is gross. wait until you know what happened before calling for blood for owning a type of car or some shit.

he was sober and apparently unconscious? afaik he hasn't been interviewed yet while he gets medical treatment.

I mean if he did it on purpose, sure, but dude you have zero idea - it is entirely possible this is a medical event he had no control over, and he now has to live with being the driver in this awful situation.

can't you just care about the people affected without immediately wanting some completely uninformed revenge?

cheap for what you get

plus just means more I think, they're adding to their service so it's "plus"

just because that's usually a hook to get you to pay more doesn't mean that's now the definition of the word

flatliners

yeah they didn't say they were removing the start menu, they just said the new feature will be as central to the user experience. and predictably every reply is "lol STUPID MICRO$HIT"

people really want something to be mad about

Eliyahu also voices his objection during the interview to allowing any humanitarian aid into Gaza, saying “we wouldn’t hand the Nazis humanitarian aid,”

you are the Nazis at this point mate.

yeah the issue honestly is how much someone else has to read to understand your code. it's weird because the whole article is about making readable code for the next person and he never stops to address the fact that leaving 10x as much code to read might also make life more difficult.

I feel like he just wanted to make a point about how it's nice to make types immutable and suggest other techniques can be worth implementing too, which I agree with, but honestly his premise is a trainwreck.

what features do you miss?

I wonder if this assumes the cracker knows how long etc the password is when they start cracking.

I always make my passwords "a" because I figure they'll start cracking attempts at 5 characters 😁
