Except I have never encountered a modal with “maybe later” that wasn’t some bullshit product manager’s fever dream. No, they do not get the benefit of the doubt.

FWIW, I am not strictly vegan, but the vast majority of my meals are. And I am actually lactose intolerant. I do actually like the taste of a really cold glass of whole milk. And ice cream is amazing. If I am having some kind of spread, I prefer real butter to the fake stuff. Dairy is delicious. I just try to minimize my intake and only buy from the farms that spend the most on animal welfare.

Once I learned about how the cows are constantly pregnant in order to produce that milk, and the calves are separated post birth, etc etc, I’m pretty milk racist, tbh.

What’s wild is that the nethack source is so easy to read and understand, that it is trivial to add new content. I’d like to see some of the mechanics from the newer gen roguelikes like Shattered Pixel Dungeon make it back into trad nethack

Depends on the people. Eternal September has been a meme for over 30 years at this point. It is a cyclical pattern in just about anything social: experimentalists/creatives create new thing, early adopters join which gives new thing legitimacy, social contracts are implicitly drafted because the community is small and easy to reach consensus, then it gets exposure, masses of new people join the thing that aren’t interested in the social contract, community cohesion eventually evaporates. This is how you go from “Man, our thing is so cool” to “Fucking newbies spamming in general, begging.” You don’t want to share your cool thing with a bunch of mouth breathers that aren’t capable of appreciating what makes the thing actually cool. Eventually the grifters come, and then it is game over. So the original community members scatter to the winds. Some creative people make some new thing and it starts all over again.

One time worked in an office building with a pretty shitty floor on the second floor. Wouldn’t have surprised me if it wasn’t really all that structurally sound, because I could bounce my leg, just like I am doing right now, and the dude sitting next desk over could feel it in the floor. I ended up moving to another desk to avoid the conflict with the coworker… and in case the building was shitty enough that it was a weak spot in the floor.

- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 5 months ago:
Even these boxes will allow a serial connection. You can just open a tty and you can treat it just like a PC… if you’re comfortable on the command line.
- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 5 months ago:
Anything can be a server really, including your toaster: laughingsquid.com/netbsd-toaster/
But typically, servers are built with more performant and reliable hardware in mind. The kinds of servers your PC or phone talk to when checking your email or watching a video are rack mounted and basically look like a pizza box Image
And a rack can have dozens of these stack on top of one another, and a data center can have hundreds or thousands of racks.
But nothing is stopping you from treating your home PC as a server. The software is the same since the same kinds of chips are in both your PC and the rackmount servers (generally). Running Linux on your desktop/laptop can allow you to do normal computer stuff, AND also share files, host a personal blog, share a printer, run a bittorrent tracker, or a tor relay, or even your own email. Some of this is even possible in Windows versions that aren’t “Server”.

- Comment on What administrative powers exist among workspaces in the software industry and why? 7 months ago:
It is a mix of ignorance, control, fear, and compliance. In finance in particular, insider threats are a real thing and it leads to the exact kinds of situations you’re describing. The cognitive dissonance of trusting someone enough to pay them a salary and deploy code to production (after peer verification), but not trusting them enough to manually touch a database is real. And it is the result of mitigating company risks, and following laws and regulations. No, it doesn’t make any sense. Yes, it should all be aligned, but you know, humans. All of that said, sometimes people do dumb things unintentionally, and the controls are there to mitigate those instances, too. Ultimately, you just deal with the bullshit because fighting it does no one any good. The powers that be only care about making money. And if you, peon developer, need to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops in order to do your job, management doesn’t give a shit. That is what they are paying you for, after all.
