What an asshole.

My favorite thing about SO is when a valid “solution” (workaround) stops working because the functions used get depreciated, and you’re left with the original problem four years later, fucking MySQL.

My code is exclusively Complicated Regular Expressions and it’s screaming fast.

Yes. If it doesn’t begin with Rob Halford, then it ends with Rob Halford.

Guess it’s time for another playthrough.

For-jeh-joe. Forge-joe?

I think I mispronounce it, “Forgeio,” to be honest.

This feels exploitative.

I’d feel better about listening to this if the uploader were forthright about using AI. I’d like them to get really specific about the models and methods used to get it, and properly attribute all the artists involved. Even if that list is extremely long, like, “this quartet is an amalgamation of 40 quartets, here are links to their discographies.”

All they really have to do is show their work.

This (along with basically all instances with communick news behind them) is a classic example of scaling up prematurely.

When this community is brimming with so much content that users start to “miss” posts about [thing x] because there are so many posts about [thing y], then you make offshoot communities, not before.

Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.

What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.

I’ve found success running with .webc which is effectively HTML until you need it to be more.

Shout out to my fellow “None Backup Strategies” chaos goblins.

All of these mods were (are?) available to people willing to fork over extra cash to have their own controllers made via Xbox Design Lab.

Scolded me for swearing at it.

“You’ll fucking know when I’m swearing at you,” was my reply to that shit the last time I gave it a spin (after it regurgitated nonsense after many prompts specifically asking for not nonsense).

The answer has been “No” a few times and boy does that suck.

“No one has ever attempted something so convoluted/silly/impossible before. Guess we get to see if we’re actually programmers or not.”

I made sure answering, “Has someone figured this out already?” is a formal step in defining project scope at my company.

In my experience, and in the experience of my coworkers/contemporaries, our formal education taught us how to program which is distinct from which language we program in. For instance, my Java dev friend learned to program in C++ because that’s what was being instructed. I was forced to learn ActionScript 2 and then was forced to migrate to ActionScript 3, because that’s what was being taught. The experience of programming something and iterating on it was far more valuable than knowing a language like C++ or ActionScript.

Languages come and go, some faster than others, and you’ll eventually get to a point where your personal preferences stop mattering as much as which language is best for the task at hand.

PHP is dead. Long live PHP.

Wow, decisions were made with those new fonts. 😬
