  • I got the same feeling that it shouldn’t be rocket science. Then again, I’m most experienced with C#, which is just a very clean and professional ecosystem, and I often experience that other languages can feel rough around the edges in comparison. E.g. in npm JS, different package managers create entirely different folder structures, even though the build system is 100% the same!

    So maybe a package manager for C# would be straightforward, while npm JS would require a bunch of research about what happens behind the scenes.

    And if other languages are similar to npm JS, it’s easy to imagine that your want to keep languages separated for cleanliness - but then you kinda just get a bunch of one-language-package managers in a trenchcoat, so why even bother. OR you have the same code handling it all, becoming a bit of a mess.


  • I gotta admit I’m a bit confused because none of the articles posted here - articles made specifically to talk about if rice is safe - seem to be aware of fried rice syndrome? The thing that is such a thing that it got an own name?

    The danger about fried rice syndrome is that it is unnoticeable. Meat goes bad, it stinks or gets white dots, etc. Fried rice syndrome, it doesn’t appear different at all and you can just straight up die from it. Restaurants only make rice fresh because of this danger.

    But restaurants are extra careful, of course. At home, if you make sure to cool your rice quickly it’s ok. Which also means, don’t put one huge bowl of warm rice I to your fridge, because it will stay warm enough for the bacteria in the middle.

    It’s also one if those things that doesn’t happen often, so there’s a chance you go through your whole life without this ever being a problem, but I don’t wanna die from bowl of rice.






  • Uh, well, I’m anti patriarchy.

    Shouldn’t take my own word that I’m not an asshole of course.

    However, I’m very much “live and let live”, which is exactly why I’m against patriarchy trying to tell me I can’t exfoliate, respect my female coworkers, etc.

    The first thing someone says when meeting someone new usually isn’t “I’m [pro-/anti-] patriarchy.” But every single woman I met where it came up was anti patriarchy. I haven’t met A SINGLE ONE who was for it, and honestly it would be weird.

    Extrapolating here, but I don’t think all women are judgemental jerks who used their ‘feminism’ as an excuse to be a total asshole over petty bullshit about other people’s choices. They just wanna live, man


  • Some women are for the patriarchy.

    Sometimes, an “Are you gay” from a woman even is a “why are you not fucking me”; be it subconsciously, or a conscious flirty challenge.

    Sometimes, it’s a “My man would never do anything like that and other man shouldn’t make him look bad in comparison”. Although I guess that’s the patriarchy thing again. Just like red pill podcast pickmes.

    Of course all doesn’t matter, you could be the most effeminate man in the world - as long as you’re attracted to women, there’s no question.






  • Oh damn I’m not one to defend the USA, but in this case I have to say, it’s not just you. I feel we absolutely live in the age of entitlement, as in, that is the biggest problem right now, and might even destroy us.

    You have these far right movements going on everywhere, and they literally consist of people who, when presented with scientific facts, insist that they are entitled to have their opinion that says otherwise. And politically correct people can feel pushed to agree that, yes, they are entitled to their opinion.

    But while that whole group is either that entitlement or selective ignorance, it absolutely exists on the left, too, like you said. I’ve run into LGBT+? folks that go “it’s not your time to talk, it’s your time to listen” in a comment thread. I’ll gladly talk WITH people in a respectful way, but if you just want to talk AT me… No, you’re not entitled to me being an audience for some kinda narcissist savior fantasy.

    The red pill bugs, who feel entitled to women’s bodies. The female counterparts, who feel entitled to men paying for everything. The parents who feel entitled to everybody accomodating their kids. The customers who feel entitled to mistreat service workers. The people who say “I deserve” where others say “I earned”.

    Entitlement, man. Work on not being entitled, and you’re already a saint among sinners.







  • But if the best of what you can do with it doesn’t make sense, then why do it? It’s not like it’s helping, just distracting from the parts that DO work.

    And kind of the same thing again: The universe wasn’t born with forms, either.

    When we did a project for a redesign of our web app at work, when I showed stuff to the UXer he said “I see this is designed by a programmer. Because a programmer says: But it works.”

    And indeed, that is how all of the comments I read here feel; that things like a denounced search are just irrelevant toys, instead of a solid part of the toolkit of a professional modern developer.
