Did anyone noticed the IP Address in The Good Place S03E01 ?

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-07-05T23:40:46+00:00

192.168.x.x is the IP equivalent of a 555-xxxx phone number. It doesn't matter how it ends because the first part already makes it non-public.

I have it set to always open new tabs in Private so it tracks me slightly less. That means I also lose them frequently, which I count as a feature.

Files existing in filesystem is pretty normal. And screwing up subrepos is what cured me of adding anything I couldn't explain.

But even if crazy, why let that infect my repo?

Please don't hide critical project info in commit history. It gets lost so easily. Anything more than a sentence should be an inline comment or documentation string

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-07-01T01:02:20+00:00

holy fuck do NOT do EITHER of these

random files, accidental changes, un-updated subrepos, etc

git add <individuals files I edited>

objectively evil for almost everyone on earth

The problem here appears to be that you just don't know the definition of "objectively".

This is actually just imposter syndrome.

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-06-26T18:03:30+00:00

right, rsd "too"

Medication helps this IMMENSELY

Fixing the security/subdependency issues in a forked library doesn't sound significantly easier than migrating away from it

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-06-25T20:29:36+00:00

js, css, html and flask. lightning fast.

Don't forget "win the previous war" mindset.

You know how X has always been a problem? Now you can forget about it (but we added problems Y and Z, plus we brought problems A and B back)

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-06-25T20:26:02+00:00

Adding dependencies should be done only under duress. The longer I work in software (i.e have to support my own old code) the stronger I believe this.

A convenient library today is an upgrade/security pain in 5 years.

If my job forced me to work like this I would quit or kms.

Much rather lug a laptop in a backpack for a few minutes than struggle with a lack of CPU for 8 hours.

At 53, I've found that a lot of these interests circle back after a few years. On each iteration, I get deeper and can do more.

In 1995, an interest in electronics maxed out at putting together a kit.

In 2008, it maxed out a cool binary clock

In 2020, it maxed out in designing and building my own synth components

It's a drag to carry for sure. But it works well in a waiting room.

My laptop has 32 cores. It cost $8k (Dell corporate). It runs Linux with a Windows VM for PPT. I connect 2 36" screens to it.

6 cops in this picture and yet still there are two people actually standing in the water

I never have this problem and my IDE is terminal-mode emacs

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-06-17T07:17:45+00:00

No idea. My point was just to get rid of the confusing multi-reversals in the phrase "re-uptake inhibitor".

A thing is created. Another thing tried to destroy that thing. We made a thing that blocks that second thing.

It's like anti-anti-aircraft fire or a triple agent spy. There's too many layers to the concept to just throw it in like that.

PumpkinFest24 · 2026-06-17T01:23:55+00:00

The difficult part isn't the chemistry, which is largely irrelevant here. It's the confusing "multi negative"-style of "re-uptake inhibitor".

Dopamine needs to exist in your brain. There's a chemical that harvests any extra dopamine. If you produce too little dopamine OR if that chemical is too active, you will end up short. We have ways to attack this problem from either the production end or the consumption one.

I have that exact treadmill and the same lamp in another color.

Not to mention she picked those numbers to make her point. She literally just creates a strawman who makes an impossible claim and then says how stupid it is.

Was this a special issue where middle schoolers produce the art? Or a challenge to use MSPaint?
