I lowkey do want to work like that, but it has to be on my own terms. Because Fast paced and high pressure works much much better with my brain than infinite meetings + horribly convoluted bureaucratic hoops to jump through to work productivly + nothing gets done + there’s still high pressure because people are frustrated about it.

… I think so? Never questioned it honestly, guess I’ll have to do some research now haha

edit: this website says they’re fiiiiine, although the auditory ones are rarer than visual and somatic ones. Somewhat related to Narcolepsy though, so I guess that’s another thing to mention when I get evaluated for that haha (getting on adhd meds somewhat fixed my daytime eepyness so I’ve been procrastinating on getting it checked out)

I can’t even hear cows in my head.

I’m curious about that part. Does that mean you also don’t get that weird thing where you hear like, people chattering/ music/ something falling down just before you fall asleep? Or are dreams/half-asleep hallucinations not affected by aphantasia?

I had a great interview at a new company yesterday 🤞 If they take me, I have already prepared the print files for mildly offensive stickers that I’ll be giving out at my current workplace. They’re the company logo with an extra letter to get the word “slop” in there.

God if more men had midriffs like that

not how evolution works.

Coincidentally, Irving Berlin wrote a song about this in 1941: https://youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs?is=y31cH9MSu353rWWw

That’s exactly what he did, because that’s what the manual for the bike suggested. Stored the batteries at 60% charge in a cool basement, checked on them and re-charged every 6 months as needed.

I’m a JavaScript girl, I only know about null and undefined. But my guess would be N/A, just by method of elimination?

∞: They said the N-word, but if we ask “did they say the N-word yesterday?” and go back a day if the answer is no, we will be iterating forever.
Overflow: They said the N-word sometime before Jan 1st 1970.
NaN: Days since the last time they said the N-word: “yes”

200€ Ebike?? Was this in 1990? The cheapest I know of is 500€…

Nah, it was just second hand. It was built in 2011 and I bought it in 2023. Its original sticker price would have been like 2.5k, ebikes were pretty expensive at the time. The original owner actually bought the bike for his wife, who passed away around 2012. So it was barely used and he was very diligent about storing it properly. When I got my 2 years of usage out of it and the batteries started lasting less than 10km each I gave it away for free to a University student (that range is still plenty for small grocery trips). As far as I know, she’s still riding it to this day.

The first ebike I bought was 200€. You’re telling me two tanks of gas would cost more than my entire main mode of transportation did for the two years or so I used it daily (tbf, I had it maintenanced once for 50€)

Unironically a great example for explaining the difference between 0 and null

huh, so they’ve never used npm?

Hey, I literally have those pants! They really are a weakness, as there are no pockets on them :(

Like, if I’m doing something for myself, that’s exactly the place where I wanna do something amazing,

That’s always my intention with my personal projects too! But that always results in “Wow I just learned how to do this thing much better, let me refactor the whole project to do it perfectly everywhere” followed by my Adderall running out. So there’s just so many half-done refactors I either forget about or abandon because I get a new idea the next day, but that’s totally just a skill issue.

You’re right though, the code I write at work is much worse, but my Company hosts their own GitLab instance so the code we write can’t even be used to poison Copilot :(

you literally have access to all the code in the world

I’d like to believe that they were honorable enough to not secretly train on code without people’s permission. But realistically they totally did exactly that, but just made the AI Model this incompetent through some other engineering blunder.

Also, random side thought - training only on public repos probably yields you way higher code quality as opposed to training on both public and private repos? I assume we all have some very messy private repos that we’re too embarrassed to publish because the code quality is absolute shit … right?

Tasty looking Pizza tbh

Nope, no other reason! I’m just getting a decent deal on PC parts when I let my employer buy them for me so I have a tendency to splurge on tech without really double-checking the specs. Can’t justify that with the current RAM prices though haha

But thanks for the tip! I’ll keep it in mind when I do actually decide to upgrade sometime

I built my first PC last November and because RAM was about 2-3 times the price that it should have been I passed on it. Now it’s like 5x the price and it’s not even a choice anymore, but I think I still made the right decision by not financially supporting those prices. Got 16GB of second hand SODIMM and some Sodimm to Dimm adapters and honestly the PC is fine. In my original parts list I had planned to get 128GB just to max out the board and not think about it ever again (would have been a reasonable 550€ back in September) but now I think I’ll actually coast a bit longer with my 16GB. It should be fine for the next few years at least, especially since there’s no overhead from Windows BS on my machine.
