Oh my, what a throwback. Nicely done.

I sometimes name booleans after the action that will be taken rather than the condition they represent For example, I might have booleans called “doQuickInit” or “invertResult”. I find this very useful when the value of a boolean is determined by a complex series of conditions that are not actually true or false.
It’s only a matter of time before it’s not an option anymore. Every shitty new behavior they put in is an easy-to-use option at first, then a registry setting or policy, then even that goes away and it gets baked in.

Embedded software developer here.
Oh damn, I thought I was going to be the only one here!
I don’t know how you get by with only one. Between source code, simulators/emulators, datasheets, requirement specs, log files, e-mails from senior devs with tribal knowledge not written down anywhere else, and a bunch of other bullshit, I sometimes find 3 24" monitors to be lacking.
Distractions aren’t a problem because I can easily use up all that screen real estate for a single task.
From the hovertext: “I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I’m leaving you.”
After years of a dozen other languages, I finally tried Perl the other day.
Never again, if I can help it.
If you read the fine print, many “lifetime” warranties are like this too. They mean the “lifetime of the product” which is usually defined in the same fine print as like, 5 years or some other bullshit timespan.
Everyone at Mentor Graphics did before it got gobbled up by Siemens in 2017. I don’t know if they still do.
The ONCD said that software and hardware developers are best positioned to implement memory-safe languages
Very insightful. I thought plumbers would be the ones handling it.
Thanks for the insight - jump humping and soaking sound like the kind of bullshit my parents would believe because it was featured in some local news story.
Most “teen trends”, especially those related to sex, are just wildly blown out of proportion “stories” based on a couple of people trying something weird, someone else hearing about it, and now suddenly all the teens are doing it.
It reminds me of being in high school when my mom asked me if my girlfriend’s jelly bracelets were a sex thing because she heard about girls owing sex acts to guys who can break one.
It seems like the headline buries the lede here.
The problem is passwords being exposed in plain text. I already assume that my browser extensions can see everything I do, which is why I only use a couple of open source extensions with solid reputations.
I love this way of thinking about it.
I haven’t been interested in AI enough to try writing code with it, but using it as an interactive rubber ducky is a very compelling use case. I might give that a shot.
