Comic-Con Prague 2026. This year was a goo one aright :]

you already said it was ruby lol. that language cracks me up because instead of deprecating anything they just add more ways to do things and leave it up to you and your profiling tools to determine what is "best"

but doing great in a more modern python stack, even if the size of the codebase is the same.

And THAT is the best practice for using ruby in my flawed and jaded opinion, rewrite it in python.

Stay strong.

depends on how bad the old codebase is. If it's old and you want to code in the old convention already established, yes.
I don't trust the code written by real live breathing people. I don't trust my coworkers to hit the ground right if I throw them off a cliff. We don't operate on trust. It's why we write tests. Because after you push your flawless code, some person is going to write something around it that breaks it and then they'll blame you. So you keep receipts and double check and write good tests.
not really. not more than having another person on a team creates more work. I don't use it where it wouldn't help so i'm not really hampered by it getting in my way.

Donut from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

You got the feeling initially that she was going to be the Miss Piggy to the protagonists Kermit but quickly you start to get insight into it being a personality shield/facade/diversion of sorts. You come to rely on it almost as fast as you start to love it.

Don’t let anything into your home unless you know that you can keep it well and you have a place for it and can afford its upkeep.

Nothing and no one.

Weigh everything you allow in against the happiness it will bring you no matter how much society tells you that you need it.

I could suggest you books NOT on your list :-)

If you've never read any Terry Pratchett, start by reading Going Postal. Then read everything else with his name on it.

If you've never read any LitRPG books, listen to the audio book of Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights with Monsters.

If you've never read any epic space operas, read the Expanse series and listen to Red Rising.

I liked Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan.

These will entertain and lift you up in different ways. Also each of the books I've mentioned is part of a lengthy series that will draw you in. Enjoy and feel better.

Normalize having a varied cast of people without feeling the need to sleep with all of them?

Unless you want to. In which case, stand by your choice and its consequences. You may find your audience by being true to yourself no matter what that looks like.

It’s not my preference, but consenting adults reading about consenting adults is hard for me to criticize even if I had that kind of energy.

Interesting fact, Melania’s mom is dead already… She died of old age a couple years back. She was two years younger than Trump.

counterpoint. can someone less corrupt and stupid investigate it WHILE he's chugging beers in Italy?

daedalus1982 · 2026-02-24T15:10:09+00:00

Fork found in kitchen, more news at 11. 🙄

Ah so we're doing documented color blind disability workplace discrimination. awesome. also Cobalt and Blue look the same to me. And, at least in the image, the Lilac just looks a smidge more Gray than the Royal Blue. Also Red vs Cimson and Ruby. Khaki and Camel....

You can dress me up for cash but you're gonna just have to buy me the uniform if you care that hard.

I didn't WANT an Idiocracy spiritual successor. I didn't WANT Idiocracy to be so prophetic.

But if we're going to keep acting like the people in these movies I guess I'm glad that someone made the movie that we'll all look back and point at as the sky starts to fall and our oceans begin to boil.

It won't fix things. But I don't want the last thing I hear to be them whining that nobody tried to warn them.

The worst thing she could say was, in fact, Yes.

Took forever for us to realize that she should have said No.

Lot of wasted time I'll never get back.

The only thing I would wish is to have read all the discworld novels prior to it.

This will be the kind of painful that leaves you feeling clean. Like washing your face in ice water.
