I could learn to program by fiddling with stuff until it works or I can take a class right?
Yeah that’s a good point. Maybe what I mean to say is you don’t need that much music theory to take it and run with it
Maybe just a basic education of scales and major/minor chords would suffice
just wondering
I haven't either but I have seen videos of musicians working together.
I meet a lot of musicians either by playing together or playing shows together
oh yeah? play wonderwall then
🤬
thunderstruck
sweet child of mine
Unironically so fun to play
play some deep purple or leave
Don't tell that to The Doooo
I think my preferred way of teaching musicians what to play is just saying “play this” and demonstrating it
I hate sheet music lol
I'm learning to use it more and more.
🚬 🌊
at least getting back into the habit
Nice, for learning music or for other people to play?
learning right now
Word
in chamber choir we would have to learn by sight
I wish I practiced enough with sheet music to be good at it
Yea sight reading brings back some memories for me too
I mean we'd get a couple practices but you got the sheet music to just look at and sing
you can still practice dude
you're not dead yet
Lol ik Id just rather make stuff rn
You can do both
You ever seen videos of that old saloon piano guy who can sight read Mario music?
Not sure
Eh, I just don’t want to
I've watched a lot of YouTube so maybe I saw it but don't remember it.
The most requested tune people have asked for is this one. Finally I got around to finishing a first-draft piano score for it which you can download here:
http://www.keeper1st.com/music/smwend1.pdf
That is the score that Tom is reading (and taking "certain liberties"). I want to separate it into a few different parts -- take the piccolo part o...
This is what decades of sight reading looks like lol
hah, cool
There's this YouTuber Nahre Sol who has great tips on sight reading
like tricks to get better and read quicker
Four notes at the same time just sounds like hell to process
I’d rather take an SAT lol
well it's broad right? It's like recognizing a pattern or progression
some of it is guesswork too
Yea ig so, but you’d need to anticipate the next chord
Of course
if there's another way to matrix-implant it into your brain sign me up
Lol I rly hope one day
I don't. That would be terrible.
Like Demolition Man where he woke up and suddenly knew how to knit.
Why would that be terrible? Lol
Everyone in the world would have x1000 music skills
The technology would be mishandled.
Yeah, maybe. Music skills only for the super rich. That would suck
Or "criminals" could undergo specific training/rehabilitation (like in Demolition Man)
I mean that's extreme but law enforcement uses facial recognition technology wrong nowadays.
Gotta watch that
it's hilarious and dated
Simon says it is not dated.
@tardy rain hey my ML teacher is Greek
Wesley Snipes is definitely dated.
Prison knitwear sounds cool
his accent is funny
i wonder if you sound like him
ee-oh-ah-niece kind of
Yeah that's right
noice
ch sound must be hard to pronounce in Greek
because he pronounces machine like masine
Jiggly the off topic guy
Heh
gf cant either and i tease her all the time about it
She sounds like a wookie when she tries
Chewbacca sounding mf fr
What are some comp sci/software words which are just fun words
For example: Functor, decorator, hash + salt
obfuscator
Singleton lol
theres a lot i think
Yeah an insane amount actually
nibble
I found “Premature ejamulation” on google lmao
I looked that it up but it is not a thing lmfao
oh i think someone made it up then
It is apparently a thing on Quora.
Hi lily
I don't know of any furries that actually "identify" as their fursona
The article didn't mention Bronies, i guess i'll go back to Brony.
4 bits
yeah but a nibble being "half a byte" is way funnier
i will nibble on ur toes :3

do we really need this ? 
why can't it just integrate with calendars? I don't want yet another app
What's with the last post in #mailing-lists message
python hotel
My god. It's been a long time since I worked for big tech. Forget in-office, it's that kind of schedule I never want to go back to.
I haven't looked at, but after you pointed that out, it does look atrocious 
also my Co worker just create a new project using CRA
splendid
@sterile grail is this true??
CRA?
create-react-app?
Its Facebook's tool for scaffolding a react application
Just use vite lol
I'm very anti-react right now in general anyway... it just leads to the inevitable unmaintainable mountain of crap
Still use it at work, too invested in it, but for smaller / internal projects, experimenting with lighter stacks
like what? 
also, it's that unmaintainable? 
I've been doing some experiments (small projects) with hyperscript and some htmx... this is a nice read https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/
I've been hearing about htmx a lot recently 👀
I'm trying to embrace this LoB ideal: trying to avoid code that requires jumping around the code base to make sense of it.
Read that essay, it's good brain food.
heh, I'll add it to the list >.>
good read
to be honest though I'm in favor of separating styling (css) and your markup (html)
being able to switch out css files does result in a drastic "magical" change to your end result, but that's also kind of its appeal, makes dropping a new style fairly easy.
js ate some outside!
did you get any snow?
we got Tuesday and Wednesday off ;-;
yeah like half a foot
had to actually go in today, but there's going to be more snow tomorrow apparently
we're supposed to get some tmr too
hah
it's gonna be really nice
is school off?
That is obviously FUD. Dude is trying to create drama to take local attention away from Certain Things. ™️
I mean...
Who's gonna vote for that?
Oklahoma is cracked but not that cracked.
"removal of the student by animal control"? what?
yeah it's obviously BS
legislators sometimes just throw up ridiculous bills that are gonna get voted out in order to posture
http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2023-24 INT/hB/HB3084 INT.PDF <- if you want to read it

Conservatives gonna conserve
The only exposure they've had to actual furries is that one report about that kid who identities as a wolf who doesn't even have a fur suit. He sleeps in a kennel and howls at the moon.
It's not a concrete list, but rather the collection of like, a gazillion tabs I have open on my phone right now >.>
I could make a list of cool stuff I've read though, blog posts and whatnot 👀 I'd have to dig a bit first however

This post will be a bit all over the place.
Several months ago, I wrote Hard Mode Rust, exploring an allocation-conscious style of programming.
In the ensuing discussion, @jamii name-dropped TigerBeetle, a reliable, distributed, fast, and small database written in Zig in a similar style, and, well, I now find myself writing Zig full-time, after ...
I always forget how some death note is
I just realized that the shinigami guy is a placeholder for the audience
He came down to earth to watch death note
Hopefully a Hershey kiss
Anyone else team kira

You not in death note
I'm getting to the epic potato chip part
I'll take a potato chip AND EAT IT

i got banned from the archlinux discord so if anyone using arch can help me
What are you trying to do?
i had just woken up when i texted that but now i have forgotten
what did you do...
😱 not the ubuntu source code leak 😱😱😱
switching to another os rn
what's the best ide for java?
k
intellij
What mar said. I professionally used Eclipse and liked it. Eclipse is comparable to VSCode and Intellij is probably comparable to PyCharm.
Back in uni my ide of choice was notepad++ and a shit ton of batch scripts
Idk what was wrong with me
You probably saved yourself a lot of aggravation.
Nah
I should have bit the bullet and learned some gradle
A tiny bit of groovy would have helped so much
It was a small project but still, should have kept up with java tech
gradle is based
damn what is that dip
gravy?
Certified psychopath moment
"oh you use linux? mac? just do the java command yourself then"

One day someone did something that required them to make that.
Some people learn stuff from these videos/trainings.
I've met some pretty flighty developers.
I could've used that yesterday and I fell on my ass. First step was slippery. There needs to be more discussion of friction in those panels.
You should see some of the training videos for like warehouse workers.
every year I have to sign safety documents, and because I work in basically an office environment I have to sign that I understand the dangers such as "misusing computing equipment and getting electrocuted" and, even better, "being physically assaulted in a heated argument"

Life is stranger than fiction.

why does it have so many downloads i thought it was a meme 
Loool
1 dependency
the guy was learning how to code
its not his fault people decided to depend on this instead of writing their own 5 line function
the meme is returning
r/programmerhumour
that sub is so shit
no alternatives that are better
I only use reddit when im bored to make time pass, so idrc about the quality
how about
Reddit is only marginally better than 4chan

So, uhm, apple is not backing down from the 3.5k price tag on the new device
Wonder if they'll even sell
it will sell
Apple sold a $10k watch.
Apple sells a $50k server
Apple stans will buy anything.
Damn
It's a testament to Jobs' marketing prowess that Apple has developed such a cult following.
Their hardware isn't bad either.
overpriced for sure though
im a fan of their hardware, but 3.5k for a device, might sell in the US but won't sell in large chunks of the EU market
It's a super duper cool VR headset
I want one ngl, but I ain't buying at that price
VR is weird. VR enthusiasts can be super jaded.
Probably because VR tech is always overhyped when it comes to market.
like, since the 1980s VR has been a buzzword
talk about cult following
They have some pretty novel features that I'd love to at least try.
Like what?
Like selecting icons just by looking at them
oh so like eye tracking?
Using your hand to interact with the UI, like, without any external stuff
Yes
Uhm, I think Microsoft has something similar
And its more of an AR headset, or a mix of the two
*1 line
function isEven(n) {
return n % 2 == 0;
}
The idea is that the device is both a computer and a plasma TV. I mean, you kinda need to push on the meaning of those two words
that would be fine if js had integers
i mean alr return n % 2 <= 0.00000001
Because unless you only always have one person in your house watching tv, the double value has not been delivered
we need a bool tho
Yeah I couldn't justify the purchase
not "integer"
I'm also a cheapskate though.
Is hard yeah, I'd buy it at a slightly higher price than the other VRs maybe
And even then, idk, I have a VR headset and mostly don't use it
sorry, delivery - yeah, if you're not like 100% into VR then it's going to sit around
So it depends on if you can afford a $3.5k dust-catcher I suppose.
I'm guilty of doing that with a Flipper Zero. It's been sitting in a drawer for a month or so.
Oh I see.
@naive igloo can you do a bitwise test?
I wish i had a platform to test js on
remembers jsfiddle exists
wdym?
like
bitshit a float?
iirc you cant
and it is not C
to do that evil pointer hack
to make it think float is an int
oh I see
that's annoying
you can do the bitwise test but it's still 'number'
@naive igloo you ever sort out your sdc issue?
yeah i just decided to use uhm windows machine to use that drive
because on linux it was acting weird
the port itself works flawlessly with anything else
I bet if you look in event log in Windows you might see something.
it worked flawlessly
not even a single warning message
like "this drive might need chkdsk!"
maybe Linux driver is outdated?
literally latest kernel
Is it a weird offbrand usb interface?
nice prompt
sometimes with weird off-the-wall hardware things can get dodgy
Way back in the day it was a pain to get some stuff working right in Linux
i would say it is a SATA to USB interface
with ofc separate power delivery
but man
Who is the manufacturer though?
its fucking USB
i would say noname
like
I have bought some dodgy USB shit in my day
yeah maybe Windows is doing something nonstandard as well as that manufacturer
hard to say
thanks btw

since when did discord have previews to servers i haven't joined yet
probably recent

its been there for months
maybe over a year 
huh?
yep 
i'm only getting it now
weird 
i think something recent they added is clicking a link to a message and getting it previewd
i dont think that led to a preview before
yeah that
Previews? Where do you see the previews?
You can check out a server before you decide to join it. I've done it before but I forgot how I did it using the webapp. I first saw it maybe last month or so.

During the preview event we were allowed to capture PS5 Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League gameplay and also given several gameplay clips to show off the game. Here's a sample of what we got to experience in 4K 60fps.

do you mean college/university ?
I do have 2 friends who went to study in US for a year in HS
but they then came back
How?
And why?
because that was the nature of the program
did they get financial support from it? unless you're talking about some private school with their own program. you wouldn't be getting any federal support
oh, like an exchange program?
I dont believe there was an exchange
it was something probably school specific
oh wait, only one went to US, the other one went to germany
I think there is high school grants for 15-18 years old people from the usa
For the ones who are able to talk English fluently
Is this right?
i haven't heard of it
Are you in the US
yes
is your goal to go to the USA from another country for high school?
To continue my life there
i can't help you any more than you can yourself
I don’t think Ill be able more than you
You are there
No I am just asking you to ask any one who knows
Because I feel it is going to be helpful for the rest of my life
why do you want this anyway? it will be far easier to just continue high school where you're at currently
I don't think you'll find a convenient program that will let your entire family move to the US with monetary support.
The nation where I am isn’t going to be good like the US
though IG the USA has boarding schools
I am in a local school in my nation
those are typically more expensive than a public school though. and quite rare from what i understand
There must be a way
it's called being rich
Ok anyways I am not going to force for this thanks for your information it helped me
it's much easier if you were going into college. high school is pretty much unheard of. but even then, it's incredibly rare. the odds are thousands to 1, even if you're a top student
anyway, if such a thing exists, its going to be an egyptian program, not a US one.
I meant if there is a school there giving a grant
Not mine
Is the IG good?
how does the bit coin?

What do you think @solid elbow
please don't ping individual moderators if you think something needs moderation
Okay sorry xD
I know I've told you that before - ping the Moderators role if something needs moderator attention.
Also if it's not egregious it's not terrible to just throw a link adn a brief explanation through modmail, as that helps reduce throwing channels off topic.
Although not sure that really applies in #ot1-perplexing-regexing

I can get subscriptions for online games, keeping servers running costs money.
but imo it makes zero sense for singleplayer games, if the argument is that you are still getting updates my response would be DLC
right????????????
my response would be steam exists
or any other game store
maybe for gamepass like stuff it makes a bit more sense, you are paying for access to a lot of games, actually owning every single one would be a lot of money, but you get to pay to have access to all of them for a limited time (until you pay again next month)
because you couldnt possibly explore all the content you have access to in one month
acctual
and still games like brawlhalla are completely free and is still up and running
the microtransactions arent even that annoying

@honest star Sorry for the ping but do you live in NYC?
I'm not going to say where I do or don't live.
Understandable
I prefer WSL
you might have a really steep learning curve
start off by using wsl
then switch to a dual boot
What parts of linux do you want
Diskpart.exe
you might have to run chkdsk after but I was able to resize it just fine
That isn't very descriptive
i corrupted my disk by fucking around with diskpart
the most straighforward option here is probably just WSL, then.
Then maybe stay with windows, and just use Windows Terminal to get the terminal usage familiarity
maybe you can't from within windows but I extended my linux partition and shrunk windows's C drive like a week ago
diskpart.exe is a tool on windows used to manage disks
I just boot back into windows and run chkdsk /f just in case
just use gparted or whatever
Sweet, I would still reflect on why you want linux over windows, and try checking out WSL
sounds like you just want linux for the sake of linux and don't need it.
I brushed close to it a while back
All exes? Even those used by the os ans notepad itself?
Then yeah, WSL seems like the right call here. You can open Ubuntu as a profile in Windows Terminal
mine was a bit more careless than that, I guess I couldn't control it but the power went out mid moving partitions
You mean if you are developing a GUI for use on LInux systems?
you can run stuff from the terminal
there's terminal web browsers sure, but they don't have javascript
but if ur using wsl u can just use browsers in windows
not in all machines
you need wsl2 for that iirc
and if I'm not wrong not all machines can't run wsl2
oh
nvm then
the terminal is enough for that
And you can do this from the terminal, with the linux virtual machine (WSL)
both
you can either stick with windows, or start learning linux with wsl
what do you not understand?
it's been almost a year since I last used wsl so I can't answer that, maybe furtidev can
or you can just use windows for it as well, if you're only going to use stuff like python and mysql, windows installs and management of those are pretty straightforward
This is probably a good source to follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
yes
if you need a video tutorial I think this is what I followed
anyhoo I'm off too sleep
First proper microsoft docs page 🗣️🗣️🔥
yeah, it is the documentation from Microsoft
Microsoft build tools install
is digitalocean good? I have been experiencing issues lately with my digitalocean droplet. Wanted to ask if aws or smth else provided cloud computing for similar prices and better vps?
Also I am a student, so if there are cloud hosting/computing services with student deals I would prefer those (except if they suck like digitalocean)
DO is generally good yes, pricey though
There's linode as well
AwS is awful unless you're a corporation IMO
I run my VPS through RackNerd and have had amazing experience with them over the last year and some
They usually have really good deals going on too, lemme grab the link
I do believe these should still work
html
html
this seems really cheap for a yearly bill
what's the catch?
@lament cairn I've been with them over a year and have had no catch
They don't have all the same location options as the big names
And no ipv6 by default (I haven't needed it but I'm sure you can request it for a small extra fee)
The control panel leaves some to be desired but it's far from the worst I've used
All in all they're a great service and I've had better speed and uptime than when I used DO and linode
Of course YMMV and I am one person
I do have an affiliate link but I don't generally hand it out. I rather my recommendation stand on its own
but do they have some in europe
i would prefer my vps to be located in europe
I could only find one in new york and ashborn
thats why i asked
ohh nvm
i lied
They don't always have every DC available, so it might be they're sold out of the EU locations
Those tend to be more popular for some reason
MS documentation can be great but their forums suck.
You mean "MVP telling you to run sfc scannow for the 100th time simulator"?
Well yes, that and mechanically the fact whenever you click on a link to the MS forums it redirects you a few times so hitting the back button just brings you right back.
That's got to be one of the most annoying things on the Internet.
Like the whole Internet.
In my many years of Internetting.
God I hate that so much too
As a matter of fact I bet I could boil down many of my annoyances with modern software and come to the conclusion that Microsoft is behind it.
microsoft pls fix
Of course I'm being hyperbolic and there are some good people at MS but in general MS can go to Hell.

phone company and model number
and where did you buy it from
can you open your settings menu on your phone ?
do you see a sub menu with "Developer Options" written on it?
can you go to About phone menu ?
is there any field called Build number ?
or a menu called Software information ?
what did you find ?
Build number ?
ok
now tap it very fast 10 times
what does the error say ?
do you have more than 1 profile on your phone ?
it looks like your phone is most likely being managed
yeah , like adminstrated by someone
if you want sure
i cannot think of anything other than factory resetting your phone
yeah , as i said , your device is being managed by someone
prob your family or school (if your school provided the phone to you)
what account ?
that has nothing to do with this
you can just ask the person who manages the device to allow the dev options
yeah
an admin app could be the reason too

hugo the static site generator?
book awards
I looked up Hugo and the first 'Articles' that pop up are a journalist called Hugo covering Big Brother Brazil

this is a decent summary: https://wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-2023-hugo-awards-now-with-asterisk.html
It's been a while since we've had one of these dramas. On Saturday, the nominating stats for the 2023 Hugo awards, which were announced in C...
I just received word that I'm banned from attending certain #gamedev events after having called out Global Game Jam's AI sponsor, I'm not considered "part of the Global Game Jam community" thus my opinion does not matter. Woopsie.
Lots of speculation that a chinese publishing company, possibly with additional chinese gov't interference, is influencing the hugos to disqualify nominees they specifically don't like without any reasoning. In prior years there's almost always specific reasoning provided if a nominee is marked ineligible, but for 3 books this year there's nothing like that
The books that were marked ineligible were RF Kuang's Babel and Xiran Jay Zhao's Iron Window. ... which notably their books have themes that the chinese gov't and chinese publishing industry would have issue with
Is hugo a large body in the awards space?
For SFF, they're the king pretty much

Very cool trophy design
I see
This is very sad
surprising that the regional organisers had so much freedom to do that too, rather than it being centralised
I have my book club this weekend and oh boy, we're definitely gonna be talking about it
🍵
🫗
I think this will probably spark a big discussion and probably change about centralizing this a bit more and not allowing so much freedom by individual people/regional committees
Yea, as it should be if it presents itself as a single entity
this does mean I actually need to finish the book and start speed listening
1.5x audio book :P
Knowing myself, it'll be 2x as I drive down day of 😩
2x speed limit 😌
beast behind the wheel
Google just now gave me the email to migrate my data from Google podcasts
Gee fucking thanks. I already migrated all my data manually since you didn't give the option before
It's hilarious how bad Google has gotten. And how good Microsoft has gotten in the mean time
Google has done bad things but they arent that bad lol
People just love to complain about anything these days, it is why most things online kinda suck
did they kill yet another product? lol
whats this website?
oh they have a site? ik their twt acc 
need one for EA for evertime they but and kill a game studio
is dart/flutter a W or L?
Yes, I still remember first time having it , at Uni
u mean not in israel?
Nah, this was a ell before I visited
oh
where are u from if thats ok to ask
i mean they prepared falafel for you at the uni? 🤔
falafel is not entirely uncommon across the US
really, didn't know that
For sure
it's sort of like
israel's national food
although i dont think it's really
like normally i guess people would think its an israeli invention, to be honest i'm not sure if it is
probbabbly
I think most people would think syria
i think an arab friend of mine said there's falafel made with full (dont know how this ingredient is called in english)
"broad bean"
from what i know its made with hummus
so i'm not 100% sure of its original sources
falafel's source is unknown, but egypt is suspected. variations exist all across the middle east, however
its interesting that u guys know about falafel
didn't know it's that common overseas
source?
there are many "middle east" restaurants that serve falafels and other goodies
mediterannean too sometimes
🤔 intersting
i wonder what ingredients they use
Yeah it is
chickpeas and all sorts of beans are readily available. It's not super exotic.
So whatever style the restaurant owner knows
in israel it's often made with hummus
hummus is also very easy to make or find
(so is tahini)
ye but i mean the falafel is made with hummus as its main ingredient
depends on which country ask
ie chickpeas
hummus != chickpeas
in hebrew it is
hamas humus????
I don't read/write it. But in Israel, asking for hummus or chickpeas result in different things
.wiki falafel
Falafel
Falafel (/fəˈlɑːfəl/; Arabic: فلافل, [fæˈlæːfɪl] ) is a deep-fried ball or patty-shaped fritter of Egyptian origin, featuring in Middle Eastern cuisine
Olaf Falafel
Olaf Falafel is a comedian and a children's author, who illustrates his own books, he is also the creator and presenter of Art Club an online Art channel
sauce?
if u'd ask for grainy hummus i guess they'd understand
.wiki bonk
but i guess it might be different in english
yeah sure, and it's understandable since chickpea is the main ingredient for hummus
have some great hummus too
спокойной ночи
haha hopefully tomorrow
я буду спать сейчас тоже спокойной ночи всем
People sign up for Facebook pretty often, too. Suppose you decided to use an array to store the list of users. What are the downsides of an array for inserts? In particular, suppose you’re using binary search to search for logins. What happens when you add new users to an array?
@lament cairn
no fuckin clue uhhhhhh
what do you think?
yeah no clue idk anything about dsa srry
I said with arrays you need to push every element down
and if theres no space you need to move everything to a new location
is that right? @young shoal 😛
yes
they definitely don't do that
doesn't necessarily imply they do
is array of a linked list is faster?
Suppose Adit B signs up for Facebook, and you want to add them
to the list. You go to slot 1 in the array, go to the linked list for slot
1, and add Adit B at the end. Now, suppose you want to search for
Zakhir H. You go to slot 26, which points to a linked list of all the
Z names. Then you search through that list to find Zakhir H.
Compare this hybrid data structure to arrays and linked lists. Is it
slower or faster than each for searching and inserting? You don’t
have to give Big O run times, just whether the new data structure
would be faster or slower.
that's pretty much a hash table they invented
why?
no
Just remember that the constant might be massive.
A galactic algorithm is one with world-beating theoretical (asymptotic) performance, but which is never used in practice. Typical reasons are that the performance gains only appear for problems that are so large they never occur, or the algorithm's complexity outweighs a relatively small gain in performance. Galactic algorithms were so named by...
in the U.S fwiw, we've got a lot of restauraunts that serve it 👀 and other dishes from the middle east.
it feels like im adding lol
I'm guessing it's using 1-based indexing, so it shortens the pointer to the end of the array by one, then returns the element after the new top
ohhhh
because you just decremented
what book is that btw?
Ah yea I thought I recognized it I was reading that as well
that return is the new top right?
I mean sorry
that returns the top
do I have to return?
oh I do cuz its not taking any parameter
interesting
the top element is at the end of the array
because its added the last?
when you add something to the stack you put it on the top or end of the array yea
weird xD
I would call that the bottom of array
xD
now it makes sense why we return the top
cuz it changes after the pop
I think mostly because you have to 'extend' the array and you can't really extend an array 'left' typically
hello 👋 am smith and am new here
hiiii
It's an abstract data structure. I think the logic is that you take a simpler underlying data structure, like an array, and create these abstract "rules" on how data can be added and modified. Like when in real life we take pieces of paper, invent some rules on it, and now the piece of paper is what we call money.
In the end, I think the array is the only true data structure, since the program stack and heap are built on top of ram, which at least I conceive as being an array
What I'm saying is you gotta pretend it's not the bottom of the array, it's the top of the stack, even tho there's no stack, only array

I'm not a massive fan of the dark purple on black, I feel a better colour could have been picked for better contrast.
Yo Power rangers fan
I don't think i've watched power rangers for about 10 years
I don't even know why it's my pfp
It just always has been
I do feel sort of bad since every now and again I get DMs from people that are like "omg I love power rangers too! what's you're favourite ..." and I have to explain that I don't really remember anything about it.
Mad, maybe i'm just a bit blind. It wouldn't pass wcag accessability standards though https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=881798&bcolor=0C0C0C
For context, the image cereal posted is the current output colouring of exceptions in python 3.13 alpha, i'm not trying to suggest you should care for your own theme
Time for pfp change you think?
I've waited so long now I feel there's more pressure for me to change it to something good though
all my complaining has done something! I'm one of the <1,000 people who have access to do todoist's alpha calendar features 😤
I have consistently submitted feedback on this for literally years now
Once we’ve released the calendar layout in filters and labels, we’ll finish the calendar layout in the Upcoming view. We know all of you are excited about this one. We’re also starting to plan for a Weekly view calendar.
god I'm so excited
The truly first job that gen-ai has destroyed is the "influencer" job
all of you
that's community manager speak for that one superuser they're worried might show up to their offices
the fact that you know that probably explains why they just implemented this
that just means you need to visit them personally :)
listen, I've been using todoist since 2016 and requesting this feature since 2017. I'm so excited it might be fully implemented this CY
wait fr? nice
ive been using todoist for years, its my go to app for dumping anything i wanna do in the future
mhm, they've been remote first since the start
it integrates well with everything
google calendar and obsidian are what i use it with
they're such an exclusive company to work for. 97% retention rate, 50% have been there for 4+ years. Literally from the day they've been founded they've worked 100% remotely for all employees
thats actually really impressive for a company at their scale

ive been on WFH for the past few months
and i fucking hate it, but i would hate onsite more lol
like god damn, look at some of these benefits: https://doist.com/careers#open-roles
- You’ll have a recurring budget to spend on attending conferences, taking courses, and purchasing books.
- Find the coworking space that’s right for you and Doist will cover the expense.
- Doisters get 8 weeks (40 days) of PTO per year to use as they wish on vacations and national holidays.
this sounds like big tech company flexing before the layoffs hit
"200k a year and i just work 2 mins a day and i get a tennis table and free lunch (real) "

I'm 400 elo now
how can i acces it this doesn t work in another directory
😂
you maybe should use relative path instead of an absolute one
like ../
doesn t work
what is precisely happening when you try doing that
going back to the mian website of the group

I'm gonna start counting my age backwards
As in, how many years are left til the life my expectancy
That way my age changes in accordance with my health habits
Thinking of, I have 50+ years remaining in my life, reduces my anxiety of getting close to the age of 30 
Thinking in terms of weeks gives me anxiety
There's only 2.6k weeks til I die
NSA is in your walls.
._.
Leave out milk and cookies for them (like Santa) @pulsar heart
Its nice that it thinks we're only a third of the way through our lives
That reminds me of the stupid life calendar thing that Mark Rober tried to sell.
Honestly the anxiety surrounding this stuff is probly worst than the thing itself
probably for a lot of things
40, cuz it's half of 80, the life expectancy
Depends on how you calculate your life expectancy.
It varies depending on where you were born and where you live now and a bunch of other variables.
But estimate between 80-100
I thought I'd be dead 20+ years ago.
I'm straight up not dying
You're in it for the long haul.
Ever?
Gonna freeze myself
Ok Mr. Disney.
Wait til they finally invent immortality
Will you be rich enough?
Don't know
