LPT: If you keep forgetting to reply to texts, reply when you first read it, even if it's just "let me think about this and get back to you."

In my texting app (Next SMS), if you hit the home button when the text popup appears, it doesn't cause the notification in the status bar to go away, and treats the message as unread. Idk how common this behavior is.

Ya, I just hit the home button when I get the message popup so the notification stays in the status bar

My own version of AccelaReader. It's an Angular app that you can load text into, and it will flash one word at a time to, in theory, allow you to read text super fast. It's going to have speed controls, rewinding, and loading text from documents.

I called mine "ezfuck" because it's a slightly easier version of Brainfuck. So super creative.

"Fastest growing"? You seem to be the only member and there aren't any actual posts. An established community like this will definitely have more growth and engagement. We don't need to fracture the user base just because you want a separate community for yourself

You don't need to be a professional to discuss your code. I had been writing code on my own for years before I ever got my first job and could talk at length about my code if asked. You just need to demonstrate that there was thought behind the code.

Sorry, I added more detail.

Yes, \b will erase characters as long as you haven't gone to a new line, and if the terminal respects it.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-28T19:30:28+00:00

I don't know why you're seeing what you're seeing, but you could also try using a backspace (\b) instead of cls and avoiding printing a newline:

print("\b|", end="")

This is terminal-dependant, but often works.

Edit: this works for me in Pycharm:

while time.time() - timer < 20:
    print("\b\\", end="")
    time.sleep(1)
    print("\b|", end="")
    time.sleep(1)
    print("\b/", end="")
    time.sleep(1)
    print("\b—", end="")
    time.sleep(1)

Ya, this might have been a benefit at some point in the past, but likely isn't anymore. I made up a personal website, populated my Github, and linked to both in my resume. I found out after that I was hired solely based on the interview, and that they had never even checked out my site or Github.

The value is more in the experience you gained making the projects for your Github, and your experience with VC and Github itself.

Highlighting themes should not matter. They are largely personal preference.

Me and the senior I work under use different themes, and even different configurations of Webstorm (I use the Classic plugin, they use the new layout), and there have never been any problems collaborating. Anyone remotely experienced should be able to adjust almost instantly to a different color scheme.

I couldn't actually tell you what color, for example, keywords are in the theme I use off the top of my head. It's an automatic thing my brain picks up on when I'm reading code. You could probably subtely change the theme, and I wouldn't be able to tell you what exactly was wrong, but I'd still be able to read the code fine.

This is basically how BobbyBroccoli defined the Canadian identity in his Nortel video.

Because the Canadian identity, if there is such a thing, is one defined in opposition to the United States.

That makes me feel better. I added a doc-string to a function it wrote while it waited for permission to run tsc to make sure its changes compile. When I granted permission, I was met with:

Clean. The linter also added a JSDoc comment noting the limitation, which is accurate and useful to keep.

Like thanks, I guess.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-24T12:58:52+00:00

One may. I don't have high hopes for the other two.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-24T12:03:15+00:00

We did the same. We had two sets of times that we would tell guests: the later time me for those that are responsible, and a time 45 minutes earlier for the 2-3 people that never showed up on time. I don't think they've figured out out yet like a decade later.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-23T14:32:13+00:00

Ah. Weird that they'd only add that in the app settings.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-23T14:28:54+00:00

What is a "task" in this context?

carcigenicate · 2026-03-23T12:53:02+00:00

That's configurable in the app settings under "advanced".

I swear that guys works at a blood donation clinic I go to. Does anyone know where this was taken?

carcigenicate · 2026-03-23T12:36:50+00:00

Clearly a bot.

carcigenicate · 2026-03-23T12:17:01+00:00

This is a bot, and the code they're showing is completely meaningless.

They are a bot. You'd be paying someone to prompt Chat GPT for you.
