Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

• “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • Where “part of the solution” means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
• “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
• “We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted”
• etc

Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn’t just approve - he actually helped design it.

The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.

I’m not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven’t used my full size oven in the 3 months I’ve had this one.

The “Trivection Oven” (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I’ve not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

I do wonder what the refresh rate is like on these. I’ve been daily driving a Minimal Phone for a few months now. While I like it, it definitely took some getting used to. While it’s actually quite snappy, it feels abysmally slow even compared to the Cat S22 Flip it replaced (which is a low-end Android smartphone in a flip phone form factor).

I also wonder why they bothered with a camera on it. The camera on the Minimal is extremely “meh”, but the thing that makes it mostly useless is the refresh rate of the e-ink. You never know if you got a blurry mess of a picture or what. The firmware will put the screen into “fast refresh / low fidelity” mode to try to improve it, but it’s still a roll of the dice when trying to take any kind of photo. About the only thing it’s good for is scanning QR codes.

I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

I think that’s what I’m going to try.

Yeah, I’ve decided I’m just gonna splurge the ~$30 and buy a 4 GB model and see how it goes.

Sounds like at least a minor improvement. Can those me moved and still work? Like, if I move the project folder, do I have to reinitialize it and download all the packages again?

For me, it’s the rigid and wonky virtual environments. I get why they’re useful and necessary, but they’re awkward to use. Like, Node just works from the working directory with no fuss and python has to be all source {venv}/bin/activate and lord help you if you need to move it.

Plus, I have never liked that the spacing is load-bearing.

You’re empathizing with the troll, too? 👀

FYI: What the troll is describing is not required all. I don’t know what they’re on about, but I’ve used ldap-js in many projects without having to do any of that.

For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I’ve had to venture out into Go (I can’t stand working in Python).

Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.

Unfortunately, our WAF appliances don’t have a Heisenberg compensator.

“I get why we have a WAF, but can’t you just, like, separate the good SQL injection from the bad SQL injection?” – Developers I work with 😆

Thanks :)

My home instance has some top-shelf custom emojis, so I try to use them. Janeway’s eye roll gets a lot of mileage.

I work with several people who would think this is a good idea.

When they push it to prod, and our WAF goes 403 on every request, then suddenly it’s my problem to “fix”.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…

Lol, of course. I need to do a re-watch.

I’ve heard that before but cannot place it. What is that from?
