Because women are socialized (and possibly genetically predisposed) to be better at building community and having many close relationships, often more physically intimate as well (touching, hugs etc). So men are less equipped to live alone.

Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.

Fap.

But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.

Yeah, but I want it.

fb.com. I bet I could make a fortune selling that domain to Facebook.

Probably to make them appear right in clockwise order! Sometimes two wrongs make a right. Except when lexical ordering is used.

But… why would you place them anticlockwise when the hands move in a clockwise direction

I have some exes that I wanted to and could be friends with (one I was for several years). But it just doesn’t fly with a new domestic partnership. I can tell my current girlfriend that I’m going to see female friends, but going out with friends who I’ve previously had sexual relations with is stretching it. I wouldn’t want my girlfriend to do that and so I won’t do it to her.

It makes me a bit sad, but I have effectively ended those friendships by no longer agreeing to seeing them.

I also have exes that I wouldn’t wish on my biggest enemy and I avoid them like the plague.

50% increase per 18 months yields

0.03 * 1.5^t=0.05 =>

t = 1.26 18-month periods,

or 1.26*18/12 = 1.9 years before the market share is 5%.

The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

Not a funny line but I laughed out loud when selling items in Lethal Company for the first time. It’s an absurd game made with humor, and the multiplayer gameplay creates a lot of hilarious situations.

I’d say most of the GoF patterns evolved in a C++ toolchain (and then the Java junior devs started a cargo cult around them that has survived to this day). The book was never as language-independent as the authors envisioned it to be—in fact I’d argue that with the right programming language design the patterns happen implicitly or are obsolete.

I haven’t been using it forever because I was just recently forced to switch to it from Pocket (courtesy of Mozilla’s enshittification journey), but Instapaper seems to have been going strong since 1999.

I agree, when I was younger we would use worse words and, although I understand better now how they will be received, I could swear there was never any value associated with them back then. They were just descriptive words in the same way one would call a spade a spade - whether the spade is good or bad depends on the spade.

I disagree with almost everything in this article, especially the premise. Technical debt is just an added cost of maintenance and development over time, like an “interest” paid in terms of work hours. It doesn’t matter if the developers have knowledge about it - a company with lower technical debt will develop the same feature faster, because they’re not fighting the existing code base as much.

Most of the technical debt I’ve been forced to create has been with the knowledge of better ways from the get-go. We just chose a worse design for short-term gains (time to market / ran out of money) and realize we have to pay with a higher development cost in the long term. It’s very much like taking out a loan to deliver faster.

I hate it, but in economics a company is not considered to leverage all its potential unless it takes on some debt - a debt free company moves too slowly to be competitive. The same applies to technical debt. You can have too much of it but you can also have too little. It’s a strategic choice.

Not because it’s perfect but because its wide deployment means it takes a lot of effort to replace

I dunno, sounds like communism to me. They are basically opening the door for Russians to just take over. /s

Careful, back in the future we might all identify as attack helicopters from then on
