Finally, some meaningful reform!

Always urlencode your passwords!

Wait, that doesn’t seem right…

Are you saying id-gaff or I-D-G-A-F?

I understood that reference!

Not with that attitude

I never get these things where people are like “ah ha, we outsmarted the company by using an undocumented* feature they provide!” But like, they control the feature and they know it exists, you’re not getting away with something.

* or sometimes even documented

Honestly, why? We’ve got billions of people driving around in cars they don’t know how to build. Is that a problem too?

For me it was growing up with religious fanatic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

I’ve long said that Arnold is my favorite Republican. It’s a low, low, bar, but still…

I write self documenting code, as long as you are a Python interpreter.

I’ve started doing that too. List something for a low price to weed out the entitled freelisters, then give it free to whoever shows up without being a pain in my ass.

Unfortunately it doesn’t weed out the scammers or the folks who just ghost after saying “is this still available?”

We talk to each other like Giwaffe & Cwow (https://youtu.be/8_Dm5xkHzio). Sometimes we’ll quote things from the skit, but a lot of times we’ll just say normal stuff in that voice to be cute.

I don’t remember the details but there was an Internet story about a dude who’d say “man up” and people explained why that was a problem and he updated to “fortify”. And I really like that, because it kinda suggests also getting help where you need it to build up your defenses in order to face the thing you need to face.

A few months ago I was doing dishes and for some reason thought about my age and I literally couldn’t remember if I’d hit 50 yet. Had to do the math to remember I’m 45 and that’s quite a ways off. That’s an outlier for sure, but yeah I forget.

It just doesn’t come up often. There are fewer ands fewer markers. Before your 20s you’ve got hitting double digits, becoming a teenager, sweet 16, becoming an “adult”, then not being a teenager any more. In your 20s you’ve got becoming an adult again (and maybe being able to drink if 21 is your drinking age), and then maybe saving money on insurance at 25 if that even matters to you. Then nothing. You might demarcate 30, but nothing really changes. In many senses now it’s “just a number” and the individual increments fail to matter. There’s no differential reinforcement to remembering where you are on the number line.

Can AI (whatever you personally are an expert in) do better than the real thing?

The only thing that I am actually aware of about this post is that she used the full word “you” exactly once. WHY? She could have just said “u” again and I would’ve been much less irritated.

I think both are true.

We are all Elon on this blessed day.

I can hack Facebook.

Look, I just broke into their CODE!

I also vote for this guy’s arm.
