The only memory I have of my 3DS is being really into a game and playing for so long that I was really really hungry. Then I turned on the 3D slider to get motion sick and not hungry anymore to continue playing the game. Perfect problem solving skills here.

Whoever actually posts to Linkedin is already lost in the sauce I’m afraid

We have so many Roman Ruins here in Aachen (Germany) cause this used to be a hotspot for Thermal baths back in the day. I don’t think there are full roman buildings still hanging on though, just a few arches and columns.

I freaking wish! Then at least I’d have someone to fawn over F1nnster with :(

My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it’s just for the porn.

I find AI summaries so damn tedious to read, they just keep repeating themselves over and over again :(

I always had to hide the fact that I like to draw at home.

First because I was doing kinda cringy anime drawings and didn’t want the ridicule, but at some point I actually got pretty good in a “classical art” sense. I couldn’t let my family find out even more after that, because my mother had already claimed drawing as “her thing”. She would have been absolutely awful to me due to jealousy (because that’s exactly what happens every time).

She wasn’t even good at it, she just traced designs from the Internet because she has never been willing to take the critique & feedback that is necessary to actually become good at art. Her stuff literally looked like AI art nowadays, completely soulless and disinterested. She was always just after the praise of having drawn something, no matter the integrity of her work.

At least it was easy to hide my interest. I’m still baffled how people can be such control freaks but also care so little? Like they found my graphic tablet in the back of my closet at some point, but totally accepted the excuse of “oh that’s just a thing to digitally sign pdfs”

That is so cool!! Thanks, it’s exactly the kind of fun fact answer I needed :D

I’m not a writer, and I only read Fantasy at the time so I’ve never encountered a Jewish Chinese character. What would be the right answer to this?

I mean realistically, it could be any combination of first and last names, depending on whatever the deal with the person’s parents’ heritage is (or whether they would even name their kid in a way that displays that).

But in fiction, you’d probably want a name that is memorable and quickly associates with the characters most important roles/traits. And thinking that a characters most important characteristic would be their race is kinda yikes

First time hearing about PDA. So being viscerally protective of one’s own autonomy, no matter how small or reasonable a demand is, is a problem? Damn dude

Well why would you even need machines if a Mentat can describe images of cats to you instead

Related book recommendation!!

Kil’n People by David Brin - it’s a futuristic Murder Mystery Novel about a society where people copy their consciousnesses to temporary clay clones to do mundane tasks for them. Got some really interesting discussions about what constitutes personhood!

Yup, exactly! So a calculation-only module that doesn’t have a frontend would never have any TS Code in my case.

The classification of language -> task makes sense! I’m thinking of the weird college courses that wanted Java frontends lol

But how would you generalize that for a resume? Say you’ve used C# both for making backends and making frontends in separate projects. Would any sort of classification make sense in that case?

I’d love for someone more experienced to chime in, but on first glance the classification of JavaScript/Typescript as backend strikes me as weird.

That may just be because the team I work with uses a React/Typescript/Java/Postgres stack and we specifically classify the Typescript as part of the Frontend. Maybe it’s different in different companies?

I’m sure that a Typescript backend could work perfectly fine, it’s just semantics 🤷

This! My HR guy (he isn’t exactly a manager or boss) even encourages sick days for mental health or if you’re just feeling a bit iffy. The gain in productivity and happiness is actually worth it for the company. Plus part of the pay for sick days is actually covered by health insurance afaik, so financially it’s not really a problem for the employer.

My homeoffice setup is right next to a window, so it’s too bright for dark mode during the summer. So I work in light mode from about April-September and in dark mode for the rest of the year

JS is absolute chaos programming and I love that way too much. You can just feel all the caffeine ingested by the guy who had to pull long nights to ship JS within 10 days. That’s exactly the vibe I’m going for with my code.

You’re right! That’s actually a really cool point about Generator functions too, them having while(true) loops is very unproblematic :D

I’m correcting myself to:

function* sorry() { while(true){ yield "I'm sorry"; } }

I’ll do you one better

function* sorry() { yield "I'm sorry"; }

Call sorry.next().value as many times as you need to baby, hell you can even use it in a for-of loop because Generator functions are Iterable. I fucking love JavaScript
