What, are we code golfing?

Kinda like a luck-based Freaky Friday… Starring Lindsay Lohan 🤔

I love that his name is O.G. San (Ojiisan, Grandpa in Japanese)

I don’t understand what you mean. Can you suggest what to research to learn more?

Yep, Stacy Spikes. The weird part is he actually did reincarnate moviepass in the original concept (https://www.moviepass.com/ is live) but also attached this weird crypto shit to it

Pretty sure it’s a different company with the same people, so no. The original founder bought the assets back at bankruptcy sale, including the name.

Do you say hetips for HTTPS?

No but now I want to start (though I’d go hittips instead, and its insecure alternative, hittip). HTTPS has always been a mouthful lol

Lol this is hilarious. This paragraph is my fave:

We identified that color is a way to connect with people across all divides (and we have research that people respond positively to it) — it is a universal language that transcends the boundaries of our diverse verbal languages. And we chose “Colorways” rather than “themes” to show we are branching out from our language of “browser” to speak the language of everyday life and everyday users. This is about more than just installing a new “theme,” which really doesn’t have much meaning to most people.

On a completely unrelated note (your username), I just started reading a couple Asimov novels! Any recommendation for which ones I should pick up next? I’ve already done I, Robot and Caves of Steel. Thinking maybe I start Foundation soon (but just started the TV show).

The last language I learned was Rust, I did a mix of the two. I read through the canonical Rust book and then got to coding because I learn more deeply when I can apply what I’ve learned. It’s still a tricky language to keep a conceptual model of in your head though.

I have the same but it’s called “please”

Oh yay I get to post the relevant XKCD! https://xkcd.com/2408/

Are you telling me that no compiler optimizes this? Why?

There is much meaningful difference - gold has widespread practical use, while paper currency does not

Nothing you’ve said is wrong, but (at least in the screenshot) the OP didn’t say anything about it being used in anything official. It’s a relatively common term in everyday language thanks to medical dramas which use coding a lot, and it’s even in the Merriam-Webster medical dictionary.

Not to invalidate what you’ve said! Just pointing out that it not being used in official contexts doesn’t make it nonsense to use elsewhere, like on some forum.

Yeah this was before I realized Lemmy didn’t have DMs 🤷🏽‍♂️

Obligatory: Cuttlefish https://xkcd.com/520/

Maybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it’s not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.

I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.

A little off topic, but do you know of a kink community on Lemmy? Not porn, more just to talk about it/share resources, etc.

Oh hey, you’re totally right, that’s crazy. I use Beeper (hosted matrix setup) to aggregate my chats and I guess I’ve always been using that to search across all servers without realizing. Fully thought the DM search would also search across servers.

DMs are definitely also another case though - you can’t easily DM people on another server if that requires you to log into another server.

That’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.
