Honestly the whole practice, with code autoformatters and all that, reeks to me of "none of us understand how to communicate and instead of learning that basic skill, we're just going to mandate a rigid lowest-common-denominator grammar to try and make things not fall apart entirely"

"Making all code look the same" continues to baffle me as a goal.
The differences between code are specifically what helps to understand the intention of the author and the way they got there! It's really helpful for building an understanding!
re: golang things (2)
@bananas Auditor-me has Opinions about this goal
re: golang things (2)
@bananas I didn't really need to read further than `if err != nil` to get that impression :)
golang things (2)
The auditor in me is not very happy about this
golang things
Reading some Golang code and it sure seems very C-brained in terms of "oh just write your own buffer handling and thread synchronization routines, it'll be fine"
@sam (That's not to say that there aren't a couple folks who I find to have questionable habits in terms of code quality, but that wouldn't have been such a problem if there were the leadership and organizational capability to handle that appropriately...)
@sam It is my opinion that the issues with Matrix are a failure of leadership, not of the competence of those working on the technical implementations. I suspect those doing so intended to fix the issues too.

TV show idea
A monster of the week show, crossed with ground hog day. Each episode is the same day, but the monster they fight is different each time. Slowly the team start to realise they are in a time loop over the course of the series. Vague memories of fighting a similar monster before. "Do I know you? You seem familiar" they say having met for the 14th time.

Get good at woodworking. There are two major growth industries in our future
1. Guillotines & Gibbets
2. Kink furniture
First, we deal with the billionaires. Then we fuck.

Boost if you're touch-starved and ravenously horny, or if you disapprove of payment processors being used as instruments to silence sexual expression.

Apparently a Valve employee who works on the amdgpu project is going to implement support for older AMD cards, including analog ports.
In unrelated news, Valve has expressed an interest in making SteamOS run on non-Valve systems.
In unrelated news, Windows 10 is going EOL very soon.
... is Valve planning what I think they're planning?
Well, the "I am leaving #Matrix and this is why" blogposts are starting to appear.
I'm worried that it's reached the trust thermocline, and I'm not sure there's any coming back from this.

trans parenting question
soon after starting HRT, I noticed a positive emotional shift when it comes to my child. there's more joy, and I often catch myself lost in thought, thinking about my little one, and I'm smiling and happy. that's new. that didn't happen before.
my question is this: is this kind of happiness a mom thing that estrogen allows me to experience? or is it a parent thing independent from gender, and I'm just more authentically myself that I now have the emotional bandwidth to feel it?
parents of all kinds, please let me know if that's a thing you experience!

these people can't even be bothered to put air filters in classrooms to protect kids but banning them from the internet is so important? fuck off

What is with this sudden trend to kick anyone under 18 off the internet? Disgusting
