"sudo rm -rf /" by any other name...

I had a guy in house that could break anything. He used the program in really weird ways and found flaws. He retired though. He was great at testing.

@jestdotty I met a guy who did A-B testing to find gambling sweet spot. Then made his games purposely miss the sweet spot. He didn't want to create addicts.

@Liebranca i started thinking about this because I find it funny that human race is somewhat (less now) dependent upon RNG. Got me thinking about different types because it is interesting.

@jestdotty that is interesting because gamblers will farm/work machines as well. Their socialization is "Stay the fuck away from my machines!"

@jestdotty that is a cool idea. It actually makes more sense as you climb the knowledge hill that you accelerate your understanding.

@jestdotty I used to like fried chicken. Now the oils make me feel ill. So I eat baked chicken. I like beer, but noticed I feel ill sometimes when I drink. Not sure why. It is not the cheap beer either. I know some of the cheap stuff has shit in it. I like cheesecake. Milk is literally white privilege. I am okay with that version of privilege.

@Chewbanacas the code is to simulate a real device. We will be talking to the real device soon. I don't really want to troubleshoot their shit code anyway.

If you notice that a group of people overwhelmingly like chicken and watermelons. Is it racist to say people in certain demographics like chicken and watermelons? Or is it just the truth?

It doesn't seem to stop people from noticing things that "white" people do or like? Like bacon, milk, and beer.

What library? I want to take a look.

This is a proper description for any language that is 10 to 15 years old.

@cafecortado I try to only poo at work.

Every week or so I hear about a law being passed in some US State that is designed to make cheating that much harder. About once a month I hear about someone going to prison for voter fraud. But I never hear about it from the MSM. So weird.

Is this a tool or an NPC telling you this? Is there a difference?

I went in before and left one for you. I didn't want you to come back empty handed.

@Liebranca increase contrast or darken skin to see if you get faster help. It is like pretending to speak spanish in the USA to get help faster. I dunno, it depends on how racist the bureaucracy is.

Wait until you find out they are doing it on purpose...

Edit: curious, are these pictures of you they want?

Comments should not be about how the code works. You can get that from the code. Comments should be about why the code exists. I do not think any current AI can reason that.

How dare you?!

It is true, but...

How dare you?!

Name checks out.

@Lensflare at one time I registered the domain: oldmanmicro.com. This was going to be for a microcontroller website where people could learn electronics and software. However, if I searched for "old man micro" or similar the 3rd or 4th hit down was some dude talking about his micro penis. I think I ranted about this a long time ago. I can't remember for sure.

Does it act like word suggestions on texting app?

@Demolishun if I ever get a job writing primarily javascript I am gong to have to create a new user on devrant...

Just remembered that one of the characteristics of some serial killers is a fascination with feces. Do you know who else has a fascination with feces? Javascript devs.

@jestdotty haha, I should describe programming terms with electronics concepts and math. Call arrays -> data capacitors. Database -> data capacitor bank. Describe everything in terms of data flow and define latency as propagation delay. I wonder of networking can be modeled as electrical networks?

@jestdotty 1984 in the Rust community?

@jestdotty yes, I used duck typing a lot in Python. Other than the boiler plate it might be useful in C++. The analogy terms are more fun. Reminds me of the debate of electron flow vs hole flow in electronics. Trying describe magic or charge potential flow. We know what it does, but not exactly how it does it.

@SidTheITGuy if big tech platforms are losing voices, then they are also losing ears. Sounds like they will eventually lose power?

Truth be told. Duck Typing is kinda stupid name too. But it is more fun, because ducks!

@Lensflare I am noticing significantly less engagement on a lot of platforms. Also significantly higher bot posts on all platforms. It feels like some of the platforms should have more people, but it "feels" like less. Not sure how to describe this.
