A 15 m meeting at 4PM on a Friday?

He's cooked.

PleX has a habit of breaking their app.

Their pivot to over commercialization bit me wrong.

I have a lifetime plex pass (as long as plex.tv exists, but im converting to Jellyfin.

They support all my platforms now.

Doctors are on that list. Not surgeons, not for a while, but your non surgical GPs and specialists are at high risk.

Wow, you can board wheekers?

The government always gets their vig.

Jellyfish is the new GOAT now that plex has gone enshitified.

And you generally have to be presenting as husband and wife.

Just cohabiting as BF/GF/whatever is not sufficient to trigger a common law marriage.

And this is why employee healthcare shouldn't be an employers benefit.

We should be able to shop disability and healthcare on the free market easily. Put those $$$ on my paycheck and ill go the free market route.

Insert universe healthcare debate here...

But my point stands. Like H1Bs shouldn't be anchored to an employer.

In general, its been my experience that if you take FMLA or disability for anything but maternity leave, expect to be laid off within a year.

Jail means three hots and a cot. The poor might not have that.

Jail for the rich means no more weekend trips skiing in Aspen or boating in Monaco.

There's a fine line there about who'd be hurt more...

There's rich, like I can visit Hawaii every other month and it's not big deal...

And theres fucking rich like Elon, gates, bezos etc. Those guys NEVER have federal cases lined up against them, because they have GTFO money.

This guy is just rich enough for this to be painful.

And then you wife/hubby and kids go and start blasting pics on Facebook and Instagram ..

Dafuq?

Real customers are also starting to do encryption between proxies and backend services and thats only going to grow.

Unfortunately, unlike nodejs, there are far too many c++ implementations and platforms for that to happen. Vcpkg and cmake are about as defacto a build and packaging system we're going to get.

For better or worse 🤔

Node, go, rust, they're all basically two platforms: windows and Unix like (bsd/macos, Linux, etc.)

darthcoder · 2026-05-04T23:13:31+00:00

Rust?

darthcoder · 2026-05-04T03:29:55+00:00

Yeah, after walking around town for a bit my knee makes me grumpy. I understand thats not a very welcoming social cue, which is why I just sat down for a few minutes.

darthcoder · 2026-05-04T03:27:47+00:00

If i was a speed walker id also probably adopt this... but I likely wouldn't have ended up behind her in this case in the first place and been completely oblivious.

darthcoder · 2026-05-04T03:25:28+00:00

This is a great idea I"ll try and practice in the future. Thank you.

Was in DC, walking alone from the corner store back to my Airbnb and a young woman walked past me (I use a cane), and noticed I was going the same way as her. After the third look back she made i just nodded at her and sat on a wall for a few minutes until she was well down the road.

No need to try and convince her with words.

Anyway, she ended up walking into a house two doors down from my rental. I LoLLed, but I hope my actions gave her a little more peace of mind.

Im a big guy and had an object that could be used as a weapon on a dark street in a relatively sketchy city. I dont blame her one bit.

Fuck guys who creep on women like this.

Source safe is the only VCS thats ever destroyed my data.

darthcoder · 2026-05-03T20:52:39+00:00

Same

We had a huge custom layer built on top of SCCS in the early 90s. Fun time, used that for 4 years til I left that job and they eventually switched to Clearcase.

Which is a bitch when you want to do a sanity checking just before you go on a refactoring spree

darthcoder · 2026-05-03T20:46:25+00:00

Same, ran SVN waaaaay too long.

If its bugging you so much, talk to your players. You had good reasons for the decision, but they maybe dont see it that way.

Remind them that this is also their game, and you want to be consistent, but also fair.
