I think about what’ll happen if they reciprocate - I’ll be happy! They’ll be happy!
I’ve said it to four or five people. Each time it went well - we dated and had a good time.
I cheat: I only ask people out if we’ve been friends for a bit. That way I can gauge if we’re a decent match.
I thought those were for only when shit is seriously wrong and execution can’t continue in the current state.
That’s how it starts. Nice and simple. Everyone understands.
Until
some resource was in a bad state
and you decide you want to recover from that situation, but you don’t want to refactor all your code.
Suddenly, catching exceptions and rerunning seems like a good idea. With that normalized, you wonder what else you can recover from.
Then you head down the rabbit hole of recovering from different things at different times with different types of exception.
Then it turns into confusing flow control.
The whole Result<ReturnValue,Error> thing from Rust is a nice alternative.
Is there anything left?
When an online conversation is getting too heated, stop responding for a while. Give everyone a chance to calm down and get perspective.
Most of the jobs I’ve gotten were through friends I made at uni. Thanks to my education, I’m capable and skilled, but the friend network I made at school has gotten me in for interviews.
According to my sister-in-law’s then boyfriend (who was a biologist or an insect guy or something), spiders and insects can have lung-line organs called book lungs. So they have options. Creepy buggy insecty options.
A thirty-something woman was trick or treating at my town’s trunk or treat. She’d put effort into her costume. 🤷♂️
I remember getting these for games. They were awesome, but they never fit my keyboard.
It’s feature complete, but there are bugs.
Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I’m envious of aeharding’s constant improvements to Voyager.
Lemmy is substantially less combative.
That may depend on the community.
I have the opposite experience. I mostly post in niche communities on Reddit, and I find I’m ignored or get positive replies. On Lemmy I get responses, but odds are even that the response is snarky or bitchy.
I hope that will improve as the user base grows and we get more niche communities here.
I really enjoy Sync.
I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync’s appearance customization. I’m old, so I like cranking the size of some text.
I think there’s an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It’s worth it to me.
I trust my crap to update itself. Is that wrong?
Isn’t that link an ad for TunePat? It looks like a ripper that pulls tracks from Spotify.
I’m facing the exact same problem. My guy isn’t used to computers yet, so I’m trying to figure out how to get music onto the device in a way that works for him. I’ll probably end up buying and copying stuff by hand. 😞
It’d be great if there was a decent offline hardware option.
The industries supporting journalism have basically collapsed over the past few decades. If you have the means to support decent research and writing, please do so.
There are a tonne of realities that are very close to ours are populated by cockroaches and mutants.
Your original statement was
Those that just vandalize random art or monuments that have nothing to do with climate change can fuck right off.
From the links you supplied, in two of the three cases (Stonehenge and Flowers) no damage was done. In the case of Stonehenge, the protestors chose a marker that wouldn’t damage the monument. For Flowers, I’d assume they knew about the glass. But that’s me giving them credit.
For the third (Warhol’s soup), damage was done but remediated.
The protestors are being unfairly accused of fucking up art without justification. Others have used that to dismiss the protests and the cause, which is bullshit.
The protestors have a good cause, they’re getting people to (at least) talk about climate change, and they’re taking the punishment for their actions.
It’s a good way to do it.
