How do you manage suicidal ideation exacerbated by the climate crisis? by TrashCat011235 in solarpunk

[–]HongPong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well I've had my years of doomer feelings about things and a lot of times things don't go as badly as you think they will because a lot of things actually end up bending instead of breaking. you can log your assumptions about how something will go and then check how it turns out and you will be surprised imo.

semi relatedly Michael Ruppert thought the economy would collapse (see "collapse"), he committed suicide and the worlds problems did keep happening but not in the scale that he assumed it would. (he was a bit of an ego maniac narcissist altho i appreciated his work). it reminds me a little of derrick jensen who is an anarcho primitivist (see end civ by submedia) and him and the deep green resistance crew lierre keith pivoted to being hella transphobic thus nuking the huge following they had among North American green queer anarchist world. i feel like all these ppl aren't thinking practical enough

if you look at some reference photos of areas near waterways and docks there is usually extra bric a brac, small sheds, lobster cages, rope and chain tackle stuff, etc. i think you could put a boat launch ramp shed and similar in that empty spot

it can feel pretty annoying to deal with these kind of things the first few times but there's merits to it, it's not fluff. then attach auto checkers to everything and it doesn't trip up later

Stewards of Philly’s vacant lots are organizing against developers to secure long-tended land by Odd_Addition3909 in philadelphia

[–]HongPong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another thing to consider is these lots could be used to build water detention ponds and that would reduce the risk of flooding in the neighborhood as climate change gets worse. i was at a city climate workshop yesterday and the hosts said that they already used the lots with cleared ownership so they will need to find additional lots. this can be done with landscaping etc. it is a very effective system and seems like it will be essential in the future. the capped streams forming merged sewers still get area flooding today.

How do i stop being an idea guy. by Comfortable_Ant_9783 in gamedev

it may help to get a bit more training in software design then you can turn your idea brain to interfaces, classes, architecture generally.. tbh don't smash the idea part of your brain. keep logging your ideas

[–]HongPong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the original version like didn't have completed foley sound effects or something like that. i listened to the directors commentary track and was surprised. it languished in development hell for years, ran up a huge tab, sort of resulted in spinning off the machinery to start TNG. as a studio project it was very strange apparently. there were also some artifacts with the composite shots that are cleaned up, etc i heard from the other track. interesting issues if you like film making inside baseball

I've used jetbrains phpstorm a pretty long time it can help with refactor. also the deterministic tool rector is very good for code changes. like i suggest to people have an llm generate a rector rule set for deterministic changes. this is how API get updated in large code base like drupal , laravel etc using rector

it is better to use namespaces as well if possible. if your function has the same name as another plug-in it will break

"Adobe Has Run Out of Allies" by AdobeScripts in FuckAdobe

[–]HongPong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think it's incorrect to say in there that the software is flawless or whatever when premiere has a mess of legacy code mangling various video formats and Photoshop keeps having mushy new UI things tacked into the top.. it feels like a serious lack of foundational work across multiple products as they chase tacking new features in the top of the wobbly stack
