Usually people who explain “woke” in such a manner seem to be the types who are actively hostile to LGBTQ+. There are a few LGBTQ+ people who do make it their entire identity instead of one facet of themselves and I understand how annoying that can be, but at this point I’m a lot less likely to believe “this is someone who turns ‘How is the weather today?’ with a stranger into a trans rights discussion” and more likely to believe “this person just hates trans people and is trying to frame the trans person poorly so I resent the trans person and not them.”

What is this a screenshot of?

1. What does my project do?
2. Can I express that in a concise way?
3. Can I make it cutesy and memorable? Maybe with a fun acronym or alliteration?

If I can’t come up with anything I like, this is one of the only few areas in my life where I am comfortable asking AI. I am also very bad at names. But you already did that step, so sorry that that is not too helpful!

git add . > git commit -m "initial" > git push

Later when I git status or just look at the repo online… “oh crap I let .DS_Store in didn’t I…” and then I remember to set up a .gitignore and make a new commit to take out the .DS_Store and put in the .gitignore.

I did not know about this so I found a source talking more about it, dropping it for anyone curious

Getting certain programs to work on my Linux machine does take extra time as opposed to if it were Windows, but it’s counterbalanced by all those times I’d have to look up how to get the WiFi option back and try every single thing on the list because it was never just one simple solution that worked each time… also I don’t get hit by unwanted forced updates, and now I update voluntarily without fear of even more unwanted telemetry being stuffed in there.

But if I just wanted to browse the web, check my email, shop, and do my banking, Linux would work out of the box better than Windows 11.

I usually don’t, which is completely sacrilegious as a musician, but I’d rather be playing it myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I do bother, it is usually Broadway (have not seen that here yet!), the pop music of my childhood, classical, classic rock, or anything I have ever performed before. Around Christmastime I have a dedicated Christmas playlist which is just Christmas songs.

50/50 if I can have music on while programming. Sometimes it becomes background noise, sometimes my brain starts focusing hard on the music and I need to not have that.

My computer would often have trouble connecting to WiFi on Windows 11, literally to the point that the WiFi option wasn’t showing up at all. I switched that computer to Linux late December and I have not had that problem yet.

I still can’t believe antibabypillen is a real German word for exactly what you think it is—birth control pills.

I wonder if English has any words that people who have it as a second language find hilarious for similar reasons, and if so what they are…

I was able to read the image but thank you for your efforts for those who could not, transcribers always appreciated

Just curious: was this based off an existing song and if so, what is it?

I have not heard “snapping their fingers menacingly” since I heard a description of West Side Story. Pleased to come across it again, this is going to make me actually check out the trailer now

I also don’t generally use Python as my primary language, but NumPy has pretty good docs in my opinion!

When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my “kids these days” moment.

Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren’t trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that’s what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.

How do I get better at understanding API docs without a tutorial to walk me through the basics of how the library works in the first place? Once I have an idea of some of what the library does and how a few commonly-used functions work I can somewhat handle the rest, but getting to that point in the first place is pretty hard for me if no getting started or tutorial section exists. And so I’m very intimidated by a lot of libraries…

Hey now, I found Wheatley charming. AI in real life, not so much.

I cannot help but see this as a diaper pattern…

oh god I always read JSON like “J” + “son”, “son” being like a Spanish word for “to be”. Or “J” + “sewn”. I can’t believe I’ve never read it like the human name “Jason”.

you’re they type to micro commit

Thanks for a much shorter and better way to explain this tendency of mine and why I rebase a lot, yoinking this phrase.

I literally just posted this in !software_gore@programming.dev because they had the same energy so I found it on the original Reddit post remembered this one too. Great minds think alike?
