Bullet points and parentheticals

If I could get something like this for my steam deck + Xbox controller, I’d be sooooo happy

This is me, so much. Both my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents. After I got my diagnosis, it’s like all of a sudden my family’s whole history of immigrant trauma snapped into relief.

It’s the occasional stabby thing that gets me, though.

What’s the end game for these people? Is it hubris? Stupidity? Do they not think anyone’s gonna notice - and even so, how do you expect to fly under the radar with “solution to the unified field theory.”

Running the title though Google and looking at the discussions around it in various corners of the Internet seems to indicate it’s utter bunk.

It’s that banality of evil thing

Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

This might be more an aesthetic/sound/genre thing for you, not any one specific band (considering your other examples)

Survivorship bias, I think

Frankly, I’d kill for the Dems to pour money and resources into down ballot races.

Black mirror

Works great for db:seed, too

If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.

Honestly, along those lines, I don’t think we (Americans) will get anything until we get rid of the electoral college and the Senate.

I feel a repressed memory or two stirring 😐

Speaking of sci fi, Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312 does a really good job of incorporating the existential dread and lurking horror of weaponized orbital mechanics.

Top left, gorgeous.

Heavy lifting is the only thing that’s stuck for the way my brain works. I used a program called 5x5:

• only 5 different lifts to learn, each full body so there’s no fiddly minmaxing
• more or less timeboxed. 5 sets of 5 reps 3 times with about a minute between each rep and set. To improve, you add more weight, not spend more time
• consistent, once you get the routine down, and you know roughly how long it’ll take, you can just let your body take over, coast on muscle memory and motor neurons, zone back in in an hour when you’re done
• numeric satisfaction as your weights increase in fixed increments.
• immediate gratification because functional strength is neat and comes on surprisingly fast

Downside: So hungry, all the time.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been active. I used to live in an apartment directly above a gym. Now I live in the boonies and need to convert my carport into a garage before I can buy a weight set.

I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.
