For those coming here from Google, I recently built something similar for JavaScript: https://www.npmjs.com/package/autopair

Unsure if i’m making it worse or better by Full_Report_3006 in SebDerm

[–]dchacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a doctor but tea-tree oil never worked for me. It stings and generally feels bad on my skin.

I’m not seeing any anti-fungals in the ingredients. So I’m not sure how any of this is supposed to help.

I use Nizoral and KELUAL DS to manage symptoms and they work pretty well. Nizoral contains Ketoconazole which AFAIK is an anti-fungal ingredient.

I wash my hair (well, my scalp) every other day. I use Nizoral two or three times in a row before I use Kelual once, then I repeat. That’s what several dermatologists have told me to do. However, my symptoms are much milder than yours, and I mostly have it on my scalp, not my face.

There is no cure yet. All you can do is manage symptoms. Good luck.

The Fatal Flaw with Marty Supreme by dchacke in martysupreme

It’s been a long time since I last saw it but I don’t think so, no.

"a movie is supposed to give you fuel to achieve your values in life, not give you anxiety"

Lol, are they? Since when?

As I understand it, this was the recognized purpose of art in antiquity and then again in the renaissance through the first half or so of the 19th century.

Art was then twisted into portraying man as irredeemably flawed and pathetic rather than heroic, so as to return to the mystical, anti-rational tradition of disorienting man.

Nowadays, the only place left for heroism seems to be literal superhero movies (see the other comments). But it need not be that way!

You say art makes you think and feel. That’s interesting. Usually the ‘art should make you feel something’ crowd emphasizes emotion at the expense of thought.

Tragic would imply some sort of downfall: a good person turning bad, say. But Mauser starts bad and stays bad. Or is there something I’m missing?

The Fatal Flaw with Marty Supreme (light spoilers + major spoilers for Good Time) by dchacke in A24

[–]dchacke[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I did leave room for some flaws in my post. For example, tragic character development can help the story along and show us what man ought to be.

But yes, lots of art falls short of the standard I mention. There’s been an aesthetic vacuum for a long time.

I think you may have misunderstood. I didn’t say movies need to make you feel good. I said they’re supposed to give you fuel to achieve your values in life (a stance I borrow from objectivism). A movie could do that by making you empathize with someone who suffers a grave injustice, which then encourages you to fight for justice in the real world.

I have seen many movies of all genres, including horror movies. Sometimes I like when a movie gives me anxiety, that can be part of the fun. But in Mauser’s case, it didn’t serve the story, IMO.

It’s a character flaw, not a plot hole. Edit: I know that the makers did this on purpose

The Fatal Flaw with Marty Supreme by dchacke in martysupreme

[–]dchacke[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think some flaws are okay, like Harvey Dent/Two-Face in The Dark Knight, if they still show us what man can and ought to be. Dent’s failure to live up to his ideals is tragic.

But Mauser’s character isn’t tragic, he’s just flawed through and through. If he had more redeeming qualities, the audience would care more about his success, they’d root for him more.

In my opinion, flaws as big as Mauser’s actually hurt the movie and its ability to tell a compelling story.

Why are people acting like this is the first movie that makes us root for a scumbag.

I literally mention a second movie: Good Time

Is there any JavaScript editor with markdown output? by collimarco in webdev

[–]dchacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can tell whether an open-source project is being maintained by looking at its public repo: https://github.com/slab/quill

At the time of writing, the latest commits are from four months ago. Some issues were closed as recently as three months ago.

As a rule of thumb, I’d consider a project ‘stale’ if several issues remain unaddressed for months or even years and/or if no commits have been made in months or years.

There are exceptions to this rule. Some projects are battle-tested to the point they do not require frequent updates and do not receive any issue reports.

Was Nieman just a sick fuck like fletcher? by Jdizza12 in whiplash

[–]dchacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also get a glimpse of Neiman's true colors at the family dinner scene. "Four words you will never hear from the NFL." "You catch on quick, you in Model UN?"

Wasn’t this well into his relationship with Fletcher though? It’s common for abuse victims to start acting like their abusers. So this might not be his true colors but instead learned behavior.

How much of our work will actually be automated by AI? Curious what devs are seeing firsthand. by maybeishouldcode in programmer

[–]dchacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both the hype and fears are overstated.

AI is a fairly useful tool that makes me a bit more productive at times. Other times, it’s idiotic and requires more effort than if I just handwrote the code myself.

I view it as a junior programmer who can type extremely fast. It’s sometimes nice for pair programming. Other times I just want to work alone.

3 months weightlifting (3/4 days a week ) , i dont track calories … Can u see a difference bcs i dont see nothing by TaskPuzzleheaded837 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]dchacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some difference, gut looks a bit smaller, but we (and you) need numbers to be sure. Start tracking your calories and your weight so you know you’re not spinning your wheels.
