@trikcode Sometimes I make a mess first and clean it up afterwards. Depends on how well I understand the problem to begin with.

You need to write bad code to understand what good code looks like

@poecidebrain @OrevaZSN Wrong for you, good for MS.

@OrevaZSN A friend of mine has been saying for years that one of the problems with Microsoft applications is that the defaults are ALWAYS WRONG.

Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.

@suntzo_2 @Cernovich Medicare is much cheaper than Obama care. $500 per month. Compared to $200 this year (was about $165 last year). That's for part B. You can spend more on other plans, but that's the main one.

@Cernovich And what a surprise when you find out that Medicare premium at age 65 is not much cheaper than than the ACA… wealth confiscation and wealth transfer will not satiate the neo-Bolsheviks

For a family of 6 (or even 4, depending on area), Obamacare costs more than a mortgage, and you never see that money again.

@ThrillaRilla369 Apple's Lisa.

Age yourself with a piece of outdated tech from your youth! I'll go first: VCRs📼

@Its_Nova1012 Probably BSD 4.2 over uunet around 1984.

What was your first Linux distro? - Fedora - Ubuntu - Arch Linux - Debian - Kali Linux And what are you using now?

@DevLeaderCa I used to work with a guyear who commented every line and then some. It made the code unreadable and the comments didn’t help at all.

Be honest: Have code comments saved your butt before? Or are most of them just noise that rot over time? // FIXME: there be dragons!

@Adriksh I paid for resharper for many years

it's wild how VS Code became the industry standard while JetBrains spent years building actually superior IDEs that nobody wants to pay for anymore

@mrmikeMTL Adventure

without telling me your age, what was the very 1ST video game you ever played?

@omgsidewalks Color tv. My friend's family had one in the middle 60s. Amazing.

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was luxury when you were a kid

@KarenPayneMVP Dapper

What is your preferred method to interact with data for C#: Microsoft data provider, EF Core, Dapper?

Depends which weapon. Epee is close to that, bit there is defense. Both foil and saber have rules about removing the threat via a parry, which changes the game to support a more realistic defensive game. (With sharp weapons you would be more careful about attacking onto someone else's attack)

@LinusEkenstam What is the counter against body jabbing every time? It seems like this sport would break down to a race to the fastest straight body jab.

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport. “Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics. Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight

@KeruboSk My great grandparents. They must have been born in the 1870s or 1880s.

Just out of curiosity… who out there has actually talked to someone born in the 1800s during their lifetime?

@johnarnold I only went in the drive thru during the pandemic. Otherwise I prefer to go inside.

Do the people in the 15 cars backed up at the Starbucks drive-thru not realize that if they park and walk in, there's no line at the counter, or do they just dislike getting out of their car that much.

@SharylAttkisson Bread

Name something you used to eat because you thought it was healthy. But it wasn't.

@ryandcrypto Yep, the boomers took control the day they were born

wait so you're telling me boomers just got to print money for 80 years straight?

@KenDBerryMD @chrismartenson I bet you can still read Howard Ruff's 1979 book "How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years ". I read it in the early 80s when he was concerned about the real US debt bring 4 trillion dollars. I still think most of it still applies.

@chrismartenson I'm already doing these. Now give me layer 2 and layer 3 please.

Buy a farm. Learn to garden. Get cows & chickens. Stock up on solar, batteries, and as much diesel as I could use over a 2-year period. Convert dollars to real things asap. Heck...I'm already doing all of those things, so no real change.

False Hypertension is very common because Doctor's office checks blood pressure wrong! [ Link in comments ] Millions "suffer" from Iatrogenic Hypertension because improper technique leads to false BP elevations; this has probably happened to you.

@Ryanmariebach78 At the end of the day.

What's a common phrase that annoys you? "To be clear"

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is stunned by fresh IRS data. It’s not just billionaires fleeing. Between 2020-2024, 892 companies left New York — taking $47 BILLION in income with them. Florida grabbed 341. Texas took 187. North Carolina: 129. Middle-class pros, small biz owners & families are voting with their feet — escaping sky-high taxes, regs, and declining quality of life. Result? Shrinking tax base. Those left behind pay more. Hochul once sneered: “Just get on a bus.” Now the exodus is accelerating — killing jobs, services & the economy. Actions have consequences. #NewYorkExodus #TaxFlight

@uscfan981 My earliest memories are from Dayton.

Say something nice about Ohio.
