There’s like maybe a maximum of 8 jobs where I understand what the job is. Shopkeeper. Farmer. Teacher of some kind. Priest. Novelist. Journalist. Private detective. Chef. That’s it. What is a data engineer. I don’t know.

@brandur not unlike cd -

Git tip of the day: check out last branch. $ git checkout - e.g. stainless(main) $ git checkout -b feature Switched to a new branch 'feature' stainless(feature) $ git checkout - stainless(main) $ stainless(main) $ git checkout - stainless(feature)$

@brandur Movist used to have a similar option :/

By far the most important fullscreen-related option in any Mac terminal emulator. (Wouldn't it be nice if Apple provided a universal way to disable those awful animations?) #macos-non-native-fullscreen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ghostty.org/docs/config/re…

go is an amazing language if you have a desire to develop sudden immense appreciation for APL

@dhh or is it even forbidden to import

@dhh wasn’t there a story about how steve jobs imported an euro wash machine bc it was better? (less damage bc longer circle then iirc tho). Anyway, now that tables have turned can’t you import american and do lots of custom electrical work?

Europeans have no idea how ridiculous their washing'n'drying situation is. Totally cooked by eco-insanity. We just got a TOP-OF-THE-LINE Miele heat-pump setup, and it's still fucking 6:20 hours to do a single wash + dry!! Would take 1.5 hours in the US on our gas/vented setup.

Don’t donate your plasma. It’s a big scam and they’re just using it to make TVs.

@brandur bring back ruby funny names

Today, came across a Go package literally named "event". Such bland naming doesn't just hurt users, it hurts the package because being hard to google makes it less likely to be adopted. Ultra-generic naming isn't cool. It's just bad. For the love of god: brandur.org/fragments/go-n…

I still hold Windows 2000 was the pinnacle of UI design. Crisp, clean, simple.

@ScottAdamsSays ok but… how about go to peru for 3+ months take ayahuasca everyday

UPDATE 1: Please don’t recommend I take Ivermectin and Fenben. I tried that last year, via Dr. Makis, to no effect. There are claims of it working, but I am aware of no patient who benefitted from it. Neither are you. Please don't recommend fasting or any diet-related system. Someone credible would have noticed if that worked. Please don't recommend any cocktail of vitamins and minerals. I very much appreciate your caring, but assume I've heard about all of the above. I'm overwhelmed with those same suggestions all day long.

devs: “look at my code, it’s so modular, split into so many files!” me jumping between 17 files trying to find where the actual logic lives, navigating the layers of virtual function calls:

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected to the internet. This was a warning and we did not heed it.

We didn’t know how good we had it

It's fucked up mice don't make holes like these anymore

@trunarla You know you can just write a code generator, would make this much simpler, probably the simplest. It's called META programming, invented by mark zuckerberg

Here’s a coding tip!!

If they killed Gene Hackman's dog, Keanu Reeves gonna be very pissed.

I will not rest until automatic faucets and hand driers are abolished

@brandur haskell progammer spotted

Instead of allowing trailing commas in SQL—which will save thousands of wasted hours per year and has no downsides whatsoever—everyone should adopt my completely unintuitive, labor intensive alternative styling that moves the problem of a trailing comma to one of a leading comma.
