That all reeks of effort though.

Hey. There could also be some Record<string, any>.

Everyone is clowning on the order, but clock faces also traditionally use IIII instead of IV.

// these are unicode characters in four hex…

If your dev team needs a comment explaining this I have some serious concerns about their qualifications.

Ugh. Literally refactored multiple factories into straightforward functions in the most recent sprint where I work.

Someone saw a public factory method which was a factory for a reason and just cargo culted multiple private methods using the same pattern.

There a progress bar in an application I wrote that has a one in twenty chance of saying “Reticulating Splines” instead of its usual label.

I have a few hundred users so there are definitely people who have seen it, but so far no one has mentioned it.

Even if you don’t count desktop applications like VSCode or Discord or whatever that are written in primarily JavaScript due to those arguably just being packed inside their own little browser engine that they ship with, still yes.

Node.js is an extremely widely used JavaScript runtime environment that people are using to write server back ends and command line utilities and god knows what else in JavaScript.

I cannot express how pleased I am that the company I work for went all-in on remote work during the pandemic and allowed the lease to lapse on most of their office space while sub-letting the rest. RTO is a literal impossibility for us now. We simply don’t all fit in the remaining office space we have, and assuming new leases on more office space obviously looks terrible on quarterly reports.

There are many other ways that the company I work for is miserable, but I take the small victories where I can.

I would be ashamed of myself and be tempted to leave the industry in disgrace if setting up DDNS and allowing a single port through a firewall took me 45 minutes.

Xerox did that ages ago.

I won’t stand for this PowerShell superhero comic erasure.

Conceptual numeracy is a human thing. The universe absolutely cares about quantifiable physical properties which we represent as numbers.

As the other person said, something is wrong if your machine is shutting down instead of just giving choppy playback.

Do you do much heavy CPU with with that machine at all? It’s possible that AV1 decoding is the only thing you’re trying to do that pushes the CPU to that degree. 7th Gen Intel CPUs have hardware decoders for h.265, so the CPU is barely used to play these back, but lacking a decoder for AV1 means it has to be decoded in software, which hits the CPU hard.

There are definitely ways to run partial testing suites on modified code only. I feel like much of what you’re complaining about is an already solved problem.

Ah, if you need to build a .NET project that makes sense

Nuget is a the .NET package manager. Like npm or pip, but for .NET projects.

If you needed it for a published application that strikes me as fairly strange.

This is probably a diffusion model. LLMs don’t create images.

Yep, recent blog post about it:

Clearly you should install Edit.

You can though? mySet.values().map(mappingFunc) will create a new iterator transformed by the mapping function.
