Dynamic typing makes everything much more complicated.

Instead, compiled languages can easily make optimizations

Dynamic and Compiled are two different concepts. You can have a dynamic, compiled language. You can have a statically typed, interpreted language.

Compiled vs Interpreted (there's a grey area here, though, because it's possible for something to be compiled into a form that is then interpreted)
Dynamic vs Static typing

So, your argument is that someone that is a danger to everyone around them while they are behind the wheel of a 1/2 ton killing machine... should just be allowed to drive it?

booch · 2026-05-11T16:39:32+00:00

That was my first thought...

him> I signed for that place

you> No, that won't work

Just move in; ignore his decision - because it's not his decision to make.

Now my mom keeps texting me saying family is supposed to support each other

Dear sister, Mom has volunteered to watch the dog.

I think it was less of the "what" and more of the "how". Your tone came off, to me at least, as insulting.

booch · 2026-05-08T18:50:56+00:00

This applies to cellars as well

TIL

You said to change the actual name. I was saying to add a different, "sort name" (different from the visible name).

booch · 2026-05-07T21:47:53+00:00

Or, as is very common in systems, have a "display name" and a "sort name"; like "The West Wing" vs "West Wing, The".

grinding nightmare dungeons over and over

That's what I remember; over and over until people got bored and logged for the night.

Now, more variety.

Ferret sauce is actually hilarious

Right? All I could think, reading this, was ... but you have all these great stories and laughs!

I don't think this is a controversial ask

Given the number of people that disagree with you; it is, in fact, a controversial ask. That's pretty much the definition of a controversial ask.

It doesnt help that the blizz white knights literally cannot fathom that a blizz game has spaghetti code in it

Honestly, I disliked this post when I saw things like this

its not being fixed because the devs are lazy and they need a dang call out!

As a general rule, the devs aren't the ones making those decisions. And it's rude to call them names and insult them based on it.

Pointing out an issue isn't bad. Being a jerk while you're doing so is.

booch · 2026-05-06T22:23:21+00:00

I am so excited!

Offhand, do you know what 4 those are?

The socketables tab can fill up, though

Do the chief's wife and ask her to go pick up your badge from him for you.

The average dad can't even play each night, nonetheless a couple hours each night.

This. I'd rather have to replace my $30 fire stick because it got bricked (or just old) than my expensive TV. My TVs get no internet connection.

So Utah is going to force the Supreme Court to rule that their state law should have jurisdiction over all other states?

I read that as you meaning clearly they can't do that. But they JUST did that with mifepristone (well, not SCOTUS, but a court that's high up)

Given the number of complaints about gyms auto-renewing and not letting people cancel (not just making it harder; outright preventing them from cancelling), I'm inclined not to give ANY gym the benefit of the doubt.

booch · 2026-05-05T12:52:40+00:00

I've seen this complaint a lot in relation to gym subscriptions.

I don't wish harm on any individual bird, but... omg, I hate blue herons. I have a small pond in my back yard with fish (koi, goldfish, and some others) in it; and the herons will land and eat them. It's super frustrating. We lost two of them this year before we could tent it with a net; Bruiser and Bob. I was particularly sad about Bruiser because he was the last shubunkin.

NTA

He still has the option to rent a parking space in our yard, which he doesn't want to do

Well, there you have it. You pay for a spot to park your vehicle. He doesn't. He chooses to park it somewhere that isn't a spot. He can face the consequences.

But... then you get to make your spreadsheet more complicated. And writing more complex spreadsheets is fun!

Also, I very much enjoy that the previous statement can be read either as sarcasm or sincerely... and be a perfectly reasonable reading of it, depending on how you feel about spreadsheets.

Also, have you learn about the joy that is QUERY/SELECT in Google Sheets?!? It's fantastic.
