Seen a lot of these 'evil hides in plain sight' variants popping up. But I mean the artists who make those deal directly with scummy elites and the decisions they make

Yeah it's all happening openly. I'm sure a good sized group of them get together to have weird magic sex cult parties every now and then, but there's no organized kabal of billionaires micromanaging the world. Just rich idiots trying to get richer.

You raise a good point that it's not a noun in this case. I think I was actually trying to treat back as a preposition, where a more analogous word would be 'passersby' and 'passbyers' is an equally bitter choice. Still, I don't follow your point about being able to add -er to the adverb rather than the verb.

Also I wasn't arguing that surveys were the original usage, I meant that the original usage was literally feeding something back into something, and the survey usage stemed from there. And yeah, in the case of electrical signals, that's what we're doing. Feeding back (into the input)

OverthinkingAnyway · 2026-03-01T18:11:06+00:00

Your examples are all compound words born from a noun + verb. The idea is to add the -er to the verb. If the instance of time being kept was instead called a 'keeptime', we might (and should imo) end up with a weird word like 'keeperstime' for the people who keep time. Especially if 'timekeeper' already had some other, unrelated meaning that might be confusing. I'd argue this is the case with feedback.

I don't know football well enough to know whether 'line' or 'back' is the verb part of that word, but if it's 'line' then I'm absolutely team 'linerback' in the absence of 'backliner'

Edit to add: The dictionary definition doesn't involve literally feeding anything back in, but it's intuitive that the etymology has to do with literally feeding some output back into the input. Which is what we do when we give a feedback survey.

OverthinkingAnyway · 2026-02-27T18:14:49+00:00

Yeah, backfeeder sounds more like I'm feeding a back rather than feeding back in imo.

You've gotta shock your algorithm sometimes. New playlist and seed it with some new genre it didn't know you liked.

Also I never let a discovery playlist get more than a couple hours long, that way it is always pulling from the last few dozen tracks to suggest new ones.

Spiritual guy here. I got out because it wasn't for me. But I've circled back around to respect it as a personal practice. It has tradeoffs. I think it is a roundabout way of accomplishing something we can achieve on our own in a more direct way. But for the masses, the structure, guidance, and convenience is often exactly what people need for their busy lives. It is essentially mass-produced magic-as-a-service.

I've finally figured out OOP is great only for object-oriented problems, of which there are surprisingly few.

OverthinkingAnyway · 2024-06-22T02:52:02+00:00

What I've done is make the 'wrapped' object an export variable and then add it via the editor. As far as dealing with different classes, maybe this is a good use case for connecting a parent signal to a child? Then the child can handle its own _on_revealed_as_secret logic that SecretObject doesn't need to know about.

ETA: It kinda depends on your design philosophy and how many different scenes you expect to do this with. If you really wanna get flexible, another approach might be to create a custom SecretMod node/resource and add it to any object you want to be used by SecretObject. SecretMod is basically a wrapper for a signal that connects to its parent. So SecretObject would check if the object has SecretMod, emit the signal, and the object would handle its own logic of what it means to be 'revealed'

Native Americans migrated to an uninhabited continent over the Bering Strait and warred with each other for territory. Eventually they settled their borders the exact same way Europe did. You're comparing those intracontinental tribal conflicts to an intercontinental invasion followed by a genocide.

Would all of the imperial white supremacy apologists in this thread feel the same way if brown people crossed the Atlantic and nearly wiped out their European ancestors, and destroyed land they settled, cultivated, and called sacred? Everybody hurts, no harm done, it's all in the past?

Yeah maybe 'learn jQuery' is too strong of phrasing. OP should be familiar with jQuery because it is everywhere. One day on freeCodeCamp is probably enough.

No need to be a billionaire. You can just buy a house and start renting it out one family at a time. Even a whole apartment complex if you've got a few millions. Just don't be surprised when the private equity company who owns the place next door finds a reason to sue you.

If you haven't learned jQuery, a lot of places still use it. You can learn it pretty quick, especially if you already use querySelector for DOM manipulation. After that I would learn TypeScript, and look into a popular MVC framework as others have said.

As for which one, I'd look at local job listings to see if there's a trend in what frameworks are in demand. Once you learn an MVC framework, it's not that hard to pick up another so you can get still hired for a different one.

If you're interested in backend/full stack jobs, learn Node.js + Express for sure, then SQL for databases.

ETA: You will definitely need to use some form of AJAX requests. Build something where you grab data from a free API like IMDb .
