The bones of my house are also fundamentally different material to human bones. Not really sure what point I’m trying to make here but there you go

If you don’t have consent from an animal’s owner, do not interact with the animal. That’s not something good that you should do. Instead, get consent first.

No I don’t think it would throw away the teacher, unless you’re an anime character with a power where eye contact teleports people into the closest trash can

Go to a local business, steal the bowl of business cards for a free dinner raffle, and start an immortalized game of connect 4 in your door.

They had to have meant The Dude, right? Right?

Exactly. When I was a kid, my parents gave me a job at the family business. It was great, they said I could work half days. I could do whatever i wanted with the other 12 hours.

This is a bad take. How are you gonna do that? Force ECMA to scrap all the functionality deemed ‘bad’? Wave a magic tech wand? At the end of the day JS is a tool, and like any tool it can be abused for nefarious purposes. The issue is that advertisers abuse this tool, and the sites they pay to be shown on allow it. Not because insert scripting language exists.

That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.

Bays absolutely are still located in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s a reference to the song Ænema by tool

commercials with all the kids singing the songs

I think that was Kids Bop, which is essentially Now That’s What I Call Music, but kids were covering the songs instead of the actual band

I disagree with the comment on the point about it being a leftist naivety, but it is naïve nonetheless. Life feeds on life and all that. That they’re sentient doesn’t matter, some people argue plants are sentient too (not that I necessarily agree)

this just made me go install the Theme Engine plugin, had no idea dark theme on unRAID GUI existed

seems to be how they hire UI ppl at my current project tbh

lol i was more or less just remarking on the fact that yes mainframe and other legacy apps are pretty old, however that does not mean that they’re necessarily worse than a modern implementation

I had to do some legacy app modernization for one of the largest telecoms companies in the US, and their mainframe system and the UI, while ugly, performed so much faster than the modern approach.

Given, we weren’t the most talented team out there, but rendering the UI on the server side was unmatched in performance versus what we could get out of a web browser. I was the UI guy so I didn’t really touch mainframe side, but it was wild to me that they made this system like 30 years ago and it worked so much better than our modern implementation
