Oh, it’s that format… Yeah, just no

Woosh… 19451203??
Not to mention that having birth date as password is a bad idea in general.

I usually plop the response in a file and nvim that. Or write “3 lines of python” if I need anything more complex.

EDIT:
Never tried jq but read up on it a little, seems hella powerfull. Also, in my workplace postman is the default tool, which I find infuriaring as hell.

I feel personally attacked. I’ve never played CoD, but that’s 100 % what I would do! That being said I suck ass, I’m 30 and I haven’t played any shooters for me to build skill when I was younger. So now whenever I try FPSes I suck too much for it to be even fun. Only exceptions are offline shooters, that can be fun. Fuck other people.

That’s already that I have with base 13, although, that does have more mental math.

Ok, yeah, a 10 bit number seems doable

Not sure how I would keep track of powers of two with my fingers but base 6 or, my current favorite, base 13 counting is easy enough to keep track.

In principle you use hands as digits, one hand representing ones the other “tens”. With base 6 you count with fingers normally up to 5 and then 6 is represented on another hand. This let’s you count to 35.

Base 13 works by counting bones in your digits using your thumb. Like touching finger segment and that representing a number. So one hand can count up to 12 and then 13 is marked in the same manner on the other hand. This allows to count up to 168 (13 * 13 - 1).

Utilizing all fingers in a binary manner could give 30 bit number (15 finger bones on each hand), but I have no idea how to then keep track of the number using your hands.

So this is not as bad as some of the other stories I’ve seen, but I’ll bite.

It was an old .NET Framework MVC app. Some internal product management system or something. There was a need to do a PDF export in one of the use cases, so someone implemented it. It wasn’t a good implementation: one big controller, mixing UI and business logic, etc. However, it basically came down to a single private method in a specific controller for a page.

Now time passes and lo and behold, we need a PDF export in another page for a different use case. “No problem,” - same dev, probably - “I already solved this problem. I’ll just reuse the PDF generation logic.”
Now, any sane person would probably try to refactor the code responsible for PDF stuff into a separate service (class) and reuse it. A less sane, but somewhat, acceptable approach would have been to just copy paste the thing into another controller and call it a day.

Ha! No no no no no no… Copy pasting is bad, code should be reused…

The end solution: REFLECTION. So the dev decided that the easiest way to make it work was to: 1) use reflection to inject one controller into another; 2) then use reflection again to get access and call that private method for PDF rendering into a stream.

Fortunately I didn’t have to fix that fragile mess. But I did my fair share of DevExpress corpse hacking and horrible angular “server side rendering” workarounds.

That’s a different skill, my hands don’t have to coordination draw from reference.

Attention is a big part for me to remember a thing. I never remember actor faces, even less so — names.

Names are hard for me in general. Unless I see it in chat or use the name for sufficient amount of time, there’s no chance I’ll remember it. That’s one of my problems with movies: I never remember actors or directors, I remember characters and scenario.

I think I’m 1, but there’s no way to know for sure. I find it easier to call out sounds rather than visuals. I can’t “hear” a voice or a sound if I want to. Visuals seem to require more will for the same fidelity.

Wasn’t there an article that looked at and showed that no, there are no stock market specialists. An “experienced” stock trader was just as accurate in their predictions as regular Joe that’s just guessing. In that sense LLM should be just as effective (if not more) at making profit.

Yes, a god is unnecessary. However, discussing religion and faith is inseparable from discussing God. Especially when we’re discussing whether it is good, evil or even exist.

My point is more that you cannot argue a god doesn’t exist with logic and Occam’s razor and whatnot when the other side of the discussion doesn’t operate on logic alone. If you’re arguing faith you have to reject it on the same basis, i. e. faith.

My personal belief is that there is no god. Humanity made up religion as tool for control, morality, education, etc. I see no proof that god should exist and on the premise that it could exist (neither claim is provable) I reject it.

TL;DR
I not so much claim God doesn’t exist as I reject it. If God can only be “proven” by faith, then it equaly can be “disproven” the same way.

That’s why I have a different (although, in a very minor way) position.

From experience I see that God would be at best indifferent to people. Given the choice to believe in such God I see no logical reason to do so.
Either it exists and need to jump through hoops to get into heaven (especially if our concept of good is not the same) or it doesn’t exist I loose nothing by not believing. I don’t even want to go to heaven, I want to just live with my loved ones and then die. I hate the concept of eternal life, there is no part of me that would want it.

Now looking at christian God I not so much as disprove its existence as reject it. If God can only be believed in then it cannot really be disproven, so the next step for me is just to reject the concept the same way I am required to accept it. If God’s and my human moralities do not align, I do not need such God. Morality, by itself, does not require God or punishment to exist.
Moreover, I don’t want a God that requires belief for a reward. In no way I see it as fair and if God is not fair it’s no god of mine.

Never have I related to shower thoughts. For one it’s too short to do any thinking in there. Also, I don’t really want to think in the shower. If I’m relaxing, it’s head empty in the stream of water.

Same goes for singing in the shower, it was always a TV thing.

My point is how many people actually do anything in the shower besides washing (mostly)?

Also there are those stone notepads. The paper ir smooth and water proof, can be written with a pencil or a pen (not a fountain one tho, but that’s not relevant in the shower either way). I tried it once as a daily notebook and I didn’t like it. With a mechanical pen after some writing it grips the core by the sharper angle and breaks it.

Not really, someone suggested a plugin for that that I will try.

The thing is I need to know before hand that there’s such capabilities. The editor has no way (besides docs) to surface stuff via usage. That makes the skill floor to productivity generate way too much friction.

I love the mouse for navigation. If I’m jumping through references chances are I’m just reading and analyzing so I don’t need to shift from mouse to keyboard in that scenario.

The main barrier for me is discoverablity of features. I don’t know what I can and can’t do in an IDE. That’s where context menus shine, pair that with some documentation and settings exploration. Now we have a system to surface features and capabilities through natural usage.

Well, having vim in an IDE might be good way to get the hang of it. I do see the potential of vim, but skill floor is too high for comfort. I don’t mind learning something, but I need to be productive out of the box.

I understand that they exist, the problem is they aren’t naturally discoverable. With normal IDEs and context menus, I see keyboard shortcuts as I look for functionality. Neovim doesn’t have that. Having to read docs or google for every little action I want to do is very unproductive and annoying. Features need to be discoverable through usage.
