@ID_AA_Carmack Case sensitivity almost necessitates the use of an IDE that supports the language and has a tab-auto-complete feature. Another layer of specific tooling to learn on top of the language syntax, and those who use it have an advantage, but also rely on a crutch.

Identifier case sensitivity in programming languages seems like a mistake. My younger son was frustrated trying to figure out why some unity code wasn’t running, and it turned out to be method name capitalization. I still miss-guess various Python naming schemes.

@Laughing_Mantis I have no idea what this means but I wish I could be there to learn

I will be discussing and demonstrating turning malware into edm music live for the first time at HushCon this year. Also I will be giving out a limited edition of my album with Hushcon only content. Get your tickets while they are still available

Not sure on timing yet, but I will be leaving Twitter, hopefully soon. The fun of watching the dumpster fire front row is not worth the risk of a company run by a dangerously unstable ceo having software on my phone. Find me on mastodon before that term gets silent banned here

@strandjs Oddly, I'm on the same instance, but I can't find you by search 🤔

When a company breaks a product and wrecks decades of work it's natural to feel fury. Companies know this, so they try to deflect your rage by blaming their suppliers. Sometimes, it's suppliers who are at fault - but other times, there is plenty of blame to go around. 1/

@evilsocket I've tried many apps for this. ManicTime is the best I've found manictime.com

Anybody knows an app to track the time I spend every day doing stuff? I don't need a todo app, or a project planner, or anything work related. Right now i'm using txt notes and a python script, would love something better that can also give me avg time per day, weekly charts, etc

Me: $ msfc<tab> zsh: *Autocompletes/replaces with _fc* This is a bad, sloppy, dangerous default behavior

@DeniTechh Yes

@dan_abramov Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. One of the best sci-fi stories I've read.

@strandjs For reassurance, just look at Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly. They never age. Downside: They must drink the blood of newborns.

I am getting really tired of the "LOL this famous person got old!" stories.

@summer__heidi The highest of high grounds from which to declare victory

You ever reflect on how similar XML and eczema sound? 🤔

@JackRhysider This is why I donate to your patreon. Stay awesome

Over the years I've had hundreds of pitches from companies on how to increase the revenue of my show. That's not my philosophy. I'm more interested in how to add value to my listeners, not squeeze value out of them. Very rare to see a pitch on how to give listeners more value.

@summer__heidi Not 100% sure if that was the same interview where, when asked why I wanted to work for $COMPANY I answered "I'm not sure if I do, yet" 😂

@summer__heidi I had one with a hardass military guy who expected new hires would follow orders as if they were soldiers. He complained that I didn't include full street addresses on every job listing on my resume, and described my job history (1-2 years per place on average) MULTIPLE times 1/2

@summer__heidi ... as "job hopping." When I explained that is the best way to make substantial salary increases in the modern job market he seemed mad. I finished the interview and then ghosted their calls.
