 imo if you wanna stop being addicted to twitter or whatever you just need to care less about knowing what all the other people in the world are doing and thinking all the time. cultivate a rich inner world. bake a book. read a bread. touch moss. eat mud. chase a large grazing beast with your claws and fangs. healthy things like that i feel like britain already has a version of What3Words in the form of pub names. youd be like "hey, meet me at the Horny Curious Oat" @jk My favourite name for a pub is ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฐ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ from the 80s TV show, The Young Ones. you know when a cat realizes that youre trying to take it to the vet? i think pretty soon planet earth is gonna start doing that  @jk Or the Humans all start doing it. But it's too late. The purpose of a fever is to burn out the diseaseโฆ if you want your code to look real sharp, you can just write a horrific-looking function, paste it into the godbolt compiler explorer, find the 50 lines of C have been reduced down to 4 assembly instructions, and then rewrite them in C. everyone will think you're a genius. your boss will come by and slap you on the back. "you're the next john carmack!! HUA HUA HUA HUA!!" is what he will say. he will say "I AM GIVING YOU A RAISE!! HUA HUA HUA" @jk It's so weird that companies insist all software engineering managers talk like this. got 4800 servers in an abandoned warehouse by the docks, all instantiating java.net.URL and putting them into a hashtable 2011: cryptocurrency allows you to Be Your Own Bank 2021: cryptocurrency allows you to Be Your Own banksy after an hour of technical investigation, i can only conclude that at LEAST one of the following is true 1) the internet is bad something i've noticed recently is that *applications* these days don't deal well with very slow internet connections or switches between connections. e.g. on safari on iOS, you can type in a web address laboriously using the onscreen keyboard, hit "go" and then, the page tries to load, but never loads because it can't resolve the hostname or whatever as your connection is down. so you hit "refresh" to try to reload the page, and the contents of the URL bar vanish! you have to type it all again!  |
