Something I am curious about: Where is the liberal and “feminist” war on attraction and people having bodies supposed to lead? What is the goal of all that?
I know, it probably doesn’t have one. It’s just fear, intrasexual competition and utter clownery. But does anyone ever think about what the end state of that would look like?
A vendor sending me payment request messages for a payment that is due on August 8 gets on my goddamn “bad vendor” list.
People who waste my time are my enemy.
Why are so many clown-ass morons so obsessed with not allowing a folder structure, and instead relying on tagging in software?
This completely falls apart after a few hundred files. Partially, that’s because tags are never complete or accurate. I mean, I’ve literally never seen it once where they are always correct. And it’s just a bad organization system from a design perspective.
The thing is, folders and tags aren’t even competitors. A folder is just a tag that enforces itself. Every file (unless you have a really terrible system, which I’ve also seen) lives in exactly one place, and that place is a claim about what the thing is. That’s not a limitation, actually. That’s the whole goddamn point.
And tags only work if someone applies them, completely, forever. Nobody does because it’s ungodly boring. So the system degrades silently. A directory structure fails in an obvious way, i.e., you see the wrong file in the wrong place. Tags fail by negligence and quietly. By the time you notice half your library is mistagged, it’s too late. The “flexibility” everyone worships is an illusion that leads to more entropy, not less. That’s very similar to the “convenience” everyone claims about smartphones even though doing anything on them is vastly slower, with surveillance baked in guaranteed, and is always a worse experience.
The propagandistic promotion of tagging shows that allowing the user to control what they want to is something doofy devs and dipshit designers will do anything to avoid.
Ha. Yep.
Most people construct their own prisons around themselves and then complain about being trapped within them.
No self-awareness at all.
I mean, that’s how it works. H1B was never, ever, ever intended to be a permanent residency program. Why are we supposed to care that a program that’s working as intended is working as intended?
Some wag on Reddit did this:
About right.
It’s strange and a little dispiriting being in calls or in meetings and there’s a load of people blathering on about a technology and its functioning when it becomes clear that you’re the only one who actually knows how it really works. The others are making mouth noises that only serve to illustrate how it might work in some other world nothing like ours. They might believe they have a grasp of the tech, but in fact they do not.
It’s good to be the expert in the room but sometimes lonely.
A lot of women claim they get tattoos to repel men and then get angry when it works? What is that about?
Remember, this is the same person who tried to tell us how things “really” were during the 1990s while being 0 years old in 1990 and nine in 1999. In other words, she barely recalls the 90s.
Butt (heh) yes, there was a time when a big butt on a woman in particular was considered unattractive even if she was skinny. This view had started its slow decline by the mid-90s (when this person would’ve been five-ish) and had disappeared nearly completely by the early 2000s. I do remember otherwise-normal, healthy and good-looking women being made fun of for having a big butt, though, during the 1980s. So yes, it was a thing.
People confidently telling you how shit was that you lived through. Just annoying beyond all reason.
What point is this worthless tweet even attempting to make?
1920s Immigration:
Some money better than no money. Some food better than no food.
Old country: No money, no food.
America: Some money, some food.
It doesn’t make lack of labor laws good or the job market amazing.
Idiot.
A lot of sites I attempt to visit these days I get something like this and am unable to access at all:
No, not blocking anything and it doesn’t work in any browser. Guess I won’t be going to Stack Overflow, then.
The main problem with containerization (which alas I’ve been using a lot of lately) as created by devs is that it only cares about one thing and that is: Can I transport a near-approximation of my machine somewhere else and run it?
Security? Who gives a fuck! Networking? I know what an IP address is, that’s all you need, right? Maintainability? Someone else’s job. Troubleshooting? Works on my machine, and now you have my machine!
It’s a terrible technology designed by the incurious, coded by the inept, and promoted by the incompetent. But we’re stuck with it now.
TLS certificates for internal services done right.
Bro, if you’re using split horizon DNS — no matter how it’s set up — you’re not doing anything right.
I guarantee that you’ll have problems of all kinds there. Reachability, security (I already spotted at least three major issues!), and flaky-ass behavior left and right.
Split horizon DNS is the way of the pain. You think it won’t happen, but it will. Terrible idea.
That can’t be right. I spend like 1-2 days every 2-3 years sick with a respiratory infection. And that has been true my whole life, not just when I began working from home. In fact, I don’t know anyone who is sick that often from respiratory infections.
Before I posted this, I asked a close friend who will tell me absolutely anything honestly how often she gets sick and she said, “Maybe one or two days a year.”
I think that number is just made up by covert Covidians to support their doofy but now-irrelevant agenda.
