You’re given a pen/pencil and asked to fill out a box. Nothing prevents you from writing stuff, but whatever. It’s not like it matters.

To be fair to myself, you can vote for anyone. It just won’t necessarily count since it’ll spoil the ballot.

Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right

Yeah. Trudeau’s not super popular anymore because of all his scandals, open corruption, and his handling of the economy and immigration (I expect the Trump win will probably solidify his base somewhat, though, once people start comparing the opposition to Trump) and the NDP’s never going to win a majority with Jagmeet at the helm (NDP voters aren’t too thrilled about how far up Trudeau’s ass his tongue regularly goes). That basically leaves the Bloc (which only cares about Quebec) and the Conservatives. No one outside of Quebec votes for the Bloc (no one serious, at least).

The most damaging thing Trump ever did was show the politicians of the world that you can pretty much just do whatever the fuck you want if you spread divisive hate and propaganda hard enough. The Cons weren’t anywhere close to what the Republicans were before he got into office. In our case, the economy usually did get better under them. Unfortunately, they’ve been steadily becoming more and more extreme over the past couple of elections. It looked like they were trying to be more moderate when they had Erin O’Toole, but there were still some morons among them that were eager to show that they’d gone batshit insane, so they’re back to doubling down on ol’ Canadian Ben Shapiro now.

Might be a case where Canadian applicants submit another form that has the relevant information in a different format too.

I was having this discussion with a coworker after Apple’s event where they talked about their image scanning AI. Like, if someone takes a picture of me, and sends it to the AI’s servers, they’ll use it as training data, but I haven’t consented to it. So how does taking it down work?

It’s obviously a rhetorical question. They obviously won’t, and they’ll tell me to pound sand.

Depends on the features.

Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined “git blame” outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain’s merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

I’m going to be honest, I don’t really like VS Code’s Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.

Whenever someone brings this up, someone also brings up the fact that ads are proven to work in general not on everyone. So I guess it’s my turn today.

It’ll just get ignored. I saw a fucking padding: 0.0.3rem at work today, and it just broke the one class.

To be fair, the left images are from Halo 2 and the ones on the right are from Halo 1, so this exact screengrab wouldn’t really be possible to begin with. I’m pretty sure the “doom” meme is a really old Tumblr shitpost that got reposted with different IP/screengrabs over the years (and the RvB one became the popular version?).

The whole Bloodgulch chronicles are forever etched into my mind.

“It’s a sniper rifle, asshole. It’s is a long-range weapon.”

“What were you gonna do: mail him the bullets?!”

I’ve had an RPI3 running for 7+ years (currently running Home Assistant on it). Still uses the original SD card that shipped with it, too. These things are durable and reliable as hell, as far as I’m concerned.

Because American media keeps pushing the idea that the Democrats are “the left” and because Democrats oppose guns because the Republicans promote them, they equate owning a gun with being a part of “the right”.

It’s not that we want to ignore warnings.

Speak for yourself, I promise you the team I work on actively ignores warnings and doesn’t even want to solve them as they pop-up. Being told you can’t compare doubles (because of precision loss) and ignoring it is on the developer and isn’t even that hard to fix. Most of our warnings come from shit like that.

Like, I get it. It’s probably not worth it to hunt down every “unused variable” warning (especially in an API where we used to have a variable for it and we don’t use it anymore and we don’t want to break the existing API so we just leave it there), but there’s things that are just trivial to fix when you’re working on code that’s right next to it.

Oh yeah, I’m genuinely about to hand-in my resignation as soon as I find another job over this kind of shit. I keep being told that the business is really trying to clean-up its act when it comes to coding practices, but they keep putting some of the most incompetent people I’ve ever worked with in charge of shit (because they do promotions based on years of experience instead of actual actionable experience). It’s awful.

First thing I do on my projects is enable warnings as errors and increase my warning levels when reasonable.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said on the projects I work on at work. Drives me crazy that we get likes 300+ warnings whenever we run the app and that we can’t change it because "they’re just warnings*.

Alchemist’s Fire is basically the Molotov Cocktail of 5e, so I’d just use that.

1d4 Fire damage per round unless they take an action to put the fire out seems pretty reasonable to me. Puts it on par with a shortsword at the very least.

Fireball’s damage is insane (the designers intentionally made it deal more damage than spells of the same level “because it’s an iconic spell”), so I wouldn’t really use it as a baseline for balancing anything, personally.

you won’t get table layout as we had in dark ages of Html

I kind of get it.

• No images is because they want it to work in a plaintext environment.
• No tables because you just know someone is going to use it to format stuff that isn’t tabular data, though I guess there isn’t a way to actually render tabular data either…

motherfuckingwebsite is pretty old at this point. I remember seeing it on Reddit like 10 years ago. Parallax was all the rage back then, when we called “hero” images “jumbotrons” (because Bootstrap called it that, I think?)

When you think about it, everything on that list can kill you.
