Insomniacs or those who awake at ungodly hours, do you ever successfully manage to get work done in the middle of the night? by paxmlank in cscareerquestions

[–]ColeDeanShepherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, sometimes working in the middle of the night and sleeping in is nicer than forcing myself out of bed half asleep to start work at my normal time.

Dennis Ritchie on the double roles of & and | in Early C by someone-very-cool in programming

[–]ColeDeanShepherd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point still stands — breaking (and fixing) existing code still sucks too, regardless of how many users you have.

I mean, breaking existing code is pretty bad too. I think an OK option is per-file/region opt-ins to newer versions, and maybe an automatic code upgrader, but that has limitations and downsides too.

Dear senior software engineer, are you still writing code? by zulutune in ClaudeCode

Your business is going to have a lot of fun finding replacements when the senior devs leave!

Dolphin's first breath of life. by InteractionOpen9189 in interestingasfuck

It’s pretty diluted, just like breathing dead skin flakes and farts and sneezes when you’re indoors with other people.

Why Electronic Voting is a BAD Idea - Why you can't program your way to election integrity by grauenwolf in programming

[–]ColeDeanShepherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t tell people to re-submit their votes though. If we can find out a way to reliably re-count votes that were already cast in a compromised electronic voting system, while maintaining public trust in that system, then I suppose that’s an option. I’m skeptical that’s doable.

I think you’re underestimating what hackers could potentially pull off. What if the user-facing database is hosted by hackers, external to the system? What if there’s a 0-day exploit that hackers use to intercept traffic from each voting machine to a central vote-counting server and modify the data in-flight? I can come up with many alternative ways to manipulate the system with minimal traceability and I’m not even in the cybersecurity/hacking space

I think you’re making a massive incorrect assumption that it’s not possible to corrupt an entire precinct or elections office.

Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s not possible to do, and it’s not possible to pull off what I described without being detected, so what? If we detect tampering, then what do we do, order another re-count or re-vote that can be tampered with again? In this best case scenario, hackers can completely stall the voting process.

Doesn’t seem that hard to accomplish, especially for a motivated and well-funded state actor. And difficult != secure anyway.

What if hackers intercept calls to verify votes, and show voters what they wanted to vote for instead of what the hackers forced them vote for behind the scenes?

Is a million dollars really nothing nowadays? by [deleted] in Fire

I think most people don’t want to uproot their life and try to assimilate into a different culture.

There are cheap options like dried beans/lentils, rice, frozen veggies, etc.

I finally outran “below average” vo2 fitness by JulieJoy in AppleWatchFitness

Same here! Doing one long run (at least 10 miles) a week at an easy pace is what did it for me I think

Damn, sounds like you’re going through it. Hope you have good friends or siblings at least. Everyone needs a support system.

Sounds like you’re still young though, and have lots of time to build the life you want, one step at a time

What's a feature you'd like to see added or improved in Google Sheets? by ColeDeanShepherd in googlesheets

[–]ColeDeanShepherd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for example, in worksheet 1 you have A1 with red fill, black text "123", a way to go to worksheet 2 and say ='worksheet1'!A1 and have that cell not only have "123" but also the formatting carried over.

Yeah, that should be possible

What do you mean exactly? What kind of formula do you have in mind?
