There is a million ways where that interaction goes sideways and becomes a drama between the parents nowadays.

Things have always been able to go wrong. That's not a reason to stop doing things. Oh no, you might get an ear full from an angry parent once in a while. boo hoo.

So you should re-write your logging code on each and every one of your 140+ services vs. leverage a shared module?
xboxnolifes · a day ago
You can keep using an older version for a while. You shouldn't need to redeploy everything at once. If you can't keep using the older version, you did it wrong.

And ideally, your logging library should rarely need to update. If you need unique integrations per service, use a plug-in architecture and keep the plug-ins local to each service.

> Why wouldn't they want to normalize and emasculate gun usage?

Because it isn't emasculating - it's very much empowering - and anyone who has ever fired a gun or read a history book written in the last 200 years can't be deluded into thinking otherwise.

Im not saying firing a weapon is emasculating. I'm saying you can reduce the toxic masculinity aspect of gun ownership through cultural enforcement. Safe gun use can be taught strictly with respect for the dangers of mishandling guns (even intentionally) enforced.

In other words, make gun ownership normal, understood, and uncool.

crypto is a public ledger. If someone wanted to find you, that's pretty easy target.

They can find your wallet, but if your wallet is not linked to you in an obvious way...

> Kids used to be taught gun safety in public school

The problem is that this normalizes the behavior, something that a specific political sect (coincidentally overlapping heavily with those employed in education) desperately wants to avoid.

Which is somewhat odd to me. Why wouldn't they want to normalize and emasculate gun usage? That seems to be the general playbook of the US Left to change behavior. Of all of the big Democrat vs Republican wedge issues, gun rights seems like one that is being approached entirely wrong.

Once I realised I rarely read my notes, I now put them in a single note and prepend it when I add something new. It’s weird but I think the value I get from notes is in the writing of them, it’s a way of thinking rather than for recall.
xboxnolifes · 3 days ago
It really is in the writing and not the referencing 95% of the time. That's why I tend to hand-write my notes. If it 's something I think I should have for reference, I'll transcribe, bookmark a reference, or something.

I feel this way with Android's keyboards, too.

I still feel the pinnacle was ~2011 Windows Phone. It was some kind of swipe-to-type, but maybe not Swype specifically? At any rate, it seemed to use "how humans actually talk" as a guideline, because it was do a great job of predicting what words I would actually mean to use in a row.

Modern keyboards are like, I know you just said "I want" but instead of predicting "to" I predict "rip". I mean the letters are close. And "I want rip" makes way more sense than "I want to." You're welcome!

I swear the android autocorrect got so much worse at some point. Somewhere between 5 and 15 years ago. I used to be able to type vaguely coherent sentences and all of the typos would magically become the words I meant, even if they didn't look right. Now I frequently type completely correct sentences and the correctly spelled words get changed into other words that make no sense in context.

And i used to be able to backspace the wrong word and fix it and it would learn thats what I meant. Now if I try that, it'll frequently keep trying to edit to the word I didn't mean unless I press the little checkmark in the autocorrect panel. Just annoying UX.

I will never understand the bizarre scene of the web's smug collective declaration that tables were dead and not to be used juxtaposed against the years it took to regain the ability to reliably center things. Assuming one agrees that we even did regain it.

Related: I also love when I can't paste tabular data into Excel/etc. anymore

For the record, I don't hate the idea of stylesheets, but...sheesh

xboxnolifes · 4 days ago
I think it was advised a bit too early, but ever since flexbox entered the scene, tables for page formatting became irrelevant.

And just in case, nobody ever said tables were dead. Tables were declared bad practice for page formatting, not for tabular data.

> I know part of it is that sales wants to be able to price discriminate and wants to be able to use their sales skills on a customer

You say that as if it isn’t the entire reason why these interactions should be avoided at all costs. Dynamic pricing should be a crime.

xboxnolifes · 4 days ago
Pricing tiers are a form of dynamic pricing. Service free tiers basically couldn't exist without dynamic pricing, as they are subsidized by the paying tiers.
