I have spent the last four business days determining that I need to write maybe thirty lines of code for the feature I’m trying to add
On the flip side, four days ago I thought it would involve several hundred, so I guess I have been successfully writing negative one hundred lines of theoretical code per day for the last few days
Tech, hardware, asking advice
@KawaSeadrake Not worth it IMO. I have never been able to recover a computer that developed grinding slowness and evidence of hardware failure (the flash drive thing) for longer than 6 months before the CPU cooler goes kaput - the thermal interface between the CPU and the heat spreader seems to be the weak point.
The office smells like armpits today
It turns out that I’m afraid of changing my wardrobe and presentation away from “generic Midwest college slacker” because I’m afraid of coming off as fake and this is all I know
“Effeminate, flamingly gay” would be an upgrade, I have no idea where to start, and I’m terrified of coming off as parodic or appropriative or “fake”. And the fact that I’d rather present myself this way feeds into my anxiety about not being “trans enough”.

Oh look, another wave of “burn the heretic”. Looks like I get to quietly back out of yet more community spaces, block more people, and continue my pattern of refusing to talk out problems with people on the grounds that it’s a fantastic way to get doxxed.
I don’t trust people enough to assume that I can peacefully disagree with anyone.

@Roady_Dragonfae Conflict of interest disclosure: I am a software engineer at Google on the Chrome team, working on the automatic update platform. I am not paid to advertise my employer but I do tend to recommend Google products because I’m used to using them at work most of the time.
Help on finding a 2 in 1 with a stylus
@Roady_Dragonfae What software do you want to run, and what is your price range? Samsung Chromebook Plus is worth considering if Android apps (which run on ChromeOS now) are adequate.

@zebratron2084 @neonNeptunian Project Fi: $20/mo unlimited text and voice, $10/GB data with a price cap at 6GB and throttled speeds after 15GB (so 6 to 15 GB is full speed and uncharged).
Only works with a few phones. It’s running off whichever of Sprint and T-Mo it gets a better signal from. It’s a Google project, so I’m shilling for my employer here.
English is a language where everything is a euphemism when paired with “moist” and/or “throbbing”

@toybold A robin outside my window in the summer was legitimately one of my motivations for installing five thousand dollars of air conditioning last year.
It’s definitely spring! I now get woken up at 5:30 AM and have trouble getting back to sleep because of a very enthusiastic robin right outside my window a couple of feet away from my head. 🐦🔊

I actually want to issue a warning? If you're on a server were your admin doesn't actually seem active any more, you should definitely back up your data!
As a lot of instances were spun up a year ago in the rapid growth we had then, they might be left to expire. And having a backup account just in case may be really good.
Even if they are active, it's easy to forget to renew a domain and having it get eaten by someone else.

good idea (racism)
Apparently racism is expensive. Good.
Google Translate is a spectacular tool. It doesn’t always work, but its failures are glorious. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/shibboleth-users/EjvS2Cgio6c
@Jacel I’d be enthusiastic to talk deckbuilding strategy and help work out decks your card supply supports if you want to give it a try again. (And I can also stay quiet about it if I’d be overbearing...)
Meanwhile, in Hearthstone, my deck literally named “Bad Murloc” is now on a winning streak in Ranked
(...at rank 25, I just started)
