I’m with you on the point that (mental) healthcare should be affordable and accessible. Drug use however isn’t the problem, but merely a symptom as well. Figure out why people turn to drugs, solve the underlying issue (generally mental health related), and the drug issue is gone.
Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.
The point I’m trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.
This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.
Given our thoughts are largely impacted by the vocabulary we know, being able to come up with new words can be considered a super power!
Oh yeah absolutely. The quickest way to get something done is to monkey patch another process instead.
Judges 19 to 21, where after the rape and death of a single person, many thousands are killed, and hundreds more are raped in response.
Yeah they have a fair history becoming the thing they fought against.
This is me.
I would say I’m a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.
The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.
Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.
This! Software engineering suggests a certain professionalism wich unfortunately is hard to find. From an accessibility point of view I am simply not able to participate in these cowboy style events for I do not have the mental capacity to do so. Ironically I have been able to work more effectively than others by focussing on quality.
Coincidentally I published some of my work earlier this week. It’s an opinionated library dictating the structure of your core domain. In return it completely decouples infrastructure. This way you do not really have to touch infra at all during day to day operations, which simplifies things immensely! As the domain exists at the very core of most software projects, it greatly impacts the way everything else is designed as well.
Most modern software is way too complex for what it actually does.
Can you explain?
I spent years writing an abstraction to be able to write shorter code… Not sure whether that was worth it 😅
Am I the only one thinking these trust tokens are not going to prevent bots from scraping websites?
Eventually, somewhere, someone will just develop the infrastructure to work their way around this, right?
Alarm goes of in the morning. Someone is calling me. I pick up my phone to answer the call. Start speaking but the phone is still ringing. I hit the button again and again but it isn’t working. I wake up, with the alarm still going off next to me.
