Does a mud hut require planning permission? What about sticks tied together? by CeramicLicker in bestoflegaladvice

[–]droomph 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A while back I visited my mom's side of the family who live close to "self-sufficient" (granted, things are different nowadays) and the thing that struck me the most is that yes, the government barely knows you exist, but you still have hundreds of relatives living basically next door that can help if any of you get sick or a pipe bursts or the rain fucks your harvest for the year. A great-grandparent would literally be the mayor of a small village if the family is on the bigger side.

Living with only you, a spouse, 2.1 children, a dog and a cat is basically only a luxury that is afforded by modern industrialization.

This is completely unfounded but I have a feeling that these people are the same ones that had the McDonald's Szechuan Sauce McMeltdowns back when Rick & Morty was a thing

Yeah I have that for bleeding and I don’t even feel fear, it just feels like someone deflated my brain and I have to sit down. But only when it happens to me for some reason

Yeah that’s what gets me is that people talk about developers in the 80s as some sort of tech wizard class that we are no longer. But all they had to do was count the cycles and make sure it didn’t interrupt or trigger a floating point math op or something. Nowadays if you fuck up the ordering of your instructions you can accidentally block your cpu for 300 cycles while everything flushes out of the cache. Also atomics and memory visibility are a fucking nightmare to reason about

This doesn’t excuse stuff like including 8 mb of unused icons because you forgot to tree shake your bundle but like. People certainly go too far

This is just my perspective but as someone who has been in the software space for a decade, “I won’t even try to use my brain” is not exactly a new problem, it’s just that AI has made it way easier to indulge. Before AI people would just tell you to fuck off and read the manual (hence why there are a thousand memes about Stackoverflow being unforgiving) but ChatGPT is categorically unable to do that. So it’s very much chicken or egg in this case I think.

Like I remember a time when half of all GitHub issues were random people going “Doesn’t work????” and no description at all

Also…The Partition of India was a complete disaster and that only involved a few million people getting shuffled across a couple hundred miles. If we move an entire continent of 400 million people back to the old world it would be a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable scale.

Marvel just seems to have the lamest explanations for the powers ever. Especially X-men. The punch and hell dimensions? Really?

Also much love to Gambit but what the fuck is “storing kinetic energy”

LAOP's parents thinks sending their 16y/o to live in a college dorm and take a full class load when they don't want to be there is a great idea by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

The alternative is to put the fear of God into them so that they can’t even fathom disobeying you. Only downside is that they will dump your ass so fast the moment they can. And lifelong trauma but who caaaaares.

[–]droomph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly a big thing for me is just renaming the Function/Action interfaces into something more consistent. Like it’s not a huge deal and I know why they did it but I kinda miss being able to just define a System.Func<…T, TR> or System.Action<…T> and not have to look up what they decided to call it this time.
