It occurs to me that the solution might be to start referring to men as "wermen" again, and revert "men" to it's gender neutral roots. That also means we can have a bunch of other prefixes for other genders.

Languages are fun.

Trolling is a art.

This. Check out the "Psychological horror" tag for some excellent examples of trolltagging.

In high school, me and my fellow outcast friends made our own slang. The idea what to make it so mind numbingly cringe that even using our slang to mock us would be social suicide for the cool kids. I don't know if that last part worked, but we were pretty damn cringe.

I'd give examples, but it's all in Norwegian, and incredibly cringe.

For me, a good interview is a dialogue where the company representative shows me as much about the company as I do about me as a candidate. Take-home tasks are okay, I guess, but I suspect they might balk at me requesting they handle a mock HR issue, or whatever, for me!

That is a Seven Nation Army.

In a 1000 years, the robots that take over after us will think this is really funny.

Yeah, that's my reading as well.

If you're optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it's absolutely called for. Not that I've actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I've never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.

That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they're already costing the function call anyway...

This is why I think school and interviews are like a whole different universe from the one where actual work gets done.

I'm not the one purity testing, so I don't know how long the taint sticks.

Also, on the subject of soap boxes, I'm just babbling on the internet. We all come here to read and express opinions, right? Mine is that there is no way I can possibly know who associated with what product donated to what political campaign, so I'm having trouble mustering outrage about this one asshole doing asshole things. They're all assholes.

If anything, my soap box cry is "Meh, whatever"

I find lots of entertainment in silly stuff, like debates about the earth being flat or not. As it turns out, the planet Earth might be an oblate spheroid. Who knew?!

Just because you don't find anything of use to you, and keep clicking the click bait so it recommends more clickbait, doesn't mean nobody else uses the site. I like to have silly shit running in the background while I work. Maybe you listen to music instead? It's not like we all have to like the same things.

 

I find it kinda odd that github.com/gorilla/websocket, which is deprecated and the repo is in archive mode, is still the most popular library for websockets.

Case in point: go.elara.ws/go-lemmy

I'm not saying this is inherently bad, I just wonder why that is.

I guess the most common last words are "How hard could it be?", but why is nobody rolling their own?

Crosslinking (lemmy.ml)

I have an account on lemmy.ml, as you can all see.

My partner has an account on lemmy.world

When I link a post, let's say this one I picked at random, it is a link to a specific post ID on lemmy.ml

If I send this to my partner, as I do with a lot of things we both enjoy, they will be able to read it, but not reply/respond, as they don't have a lemmy.ml account. The post ID for the same post is different via lemmy.world, obviously.

This post even originated on lemmy.world, sort of, as it's poster is from there.

We send each other links like this all the time, and on reddit or hacker news, that's not a problem. There can be only one HN, after all. Lemmy is not so monolithic, and it looks like this is a serious downside.

I can't reply to other instances than my "home instance", and I can't easily discover what the post ID for this post is on my home instance, so my interaction/"engagement" is probably going to be very low for things I didn't discover myself.

Am I missing some functionality here?

[Edit: I no English berry good.]

 

One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don't do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called "karma"

In moving on from Reddit, I'm burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?
