The episode that really nailed down what a talented actor Jeri Ryan is was the time she had all those assimilated personalities surface and was switching back and forth rapidly, and the bit where the Doctor “took over” her body when they were in prison.

Both times, it was absolutely believable that someone else was at the wheel, and “Seven” wasn’t there.

Preachin to the choir, friend. I’d get worked up about it but I’m paid the same regardless of how upset I get.

I do one, the other senior dev does the other. We fight about it in pull requests.

I don’t have the name handy, but there’s at least one plugin for vim that shows buffer previews in a popup. I’ve got it mapped to leader-sb (for “show buffer”).

I’ve been using it a lot lately in the day job.

My experience has been it’s close but wrong often.

It shines when I am doing the same thing for 20 variables, but then I should be using a loop instead and copilot won’t go there.

There is a reason I keep refusing to take the “Lead” position. I know what I’m good at.

I’ll go along with a Friday deploy. But I ly after I have it in writing that the first time I’m opening the laptop is Monday at 8:00a. If Business is okay with that risk, tell me to mash the button.

The worst and best thing you can do when using vim is learn the movement keys (h, j, k, and l) because they’re so powerful and work no where else.

I don’t know how other devs tolerate IDEs in the first place. Is not (neo)vim and CLI sufficient?

The Christian god is just a spurned lover who wrote in their diary about how stupid and mean their ex is and they should never have dumped him.

Satan is the dumper and has moved on long ago.

I tend to do my primary shopping at a place where you bag your own. The order is generally produce and bulk items first (it tends to be the bulk of the purchase), then frozen things, boxed/canned things, and finally squishy things like bread, eggs, and uh, delicious Hostess fruit pies.

output x+y+z+æ+the proof to P=NP.

I’m sure there’s an npm module for that.

The enshitification of Assistant is what prompted me, a few months ago, to embark on a quest to remove Google (and other cloud-based services) from my home automation setup. I’ve since swapped over to Home Assistant using Zigbee for almost everything.

I had to keep the Alexa integration going, or the other half would lose their god damned mind because apparently, that’s the only way on the entire planet to turn the light by the couch on and off.

But yeah, next up is just replacing all the light switches with zigbee-enabled ones so I can go full scary motion detection in a room thing. It’s going to be super futuristic in here, like 1998!

Even as a big fat homo, and presuming I could get into that position, I don’t want to stare at my own dick all day.

The loss of credibility is not because it’s discord,. specifically.

It’s because the project thinks a chat platform is an appropriate way to document a project. I would feel the same way if someone told me to get on IRC for docs, or Slack.

I thought we solved the boilerplate issue with templates and snippets like 30 years ago.

Oh no, this was back in the days when we loaded our distros by way of a stack of floppy disks.

sudo rm -f /lib /usr/share/backup/blah blah.tar.gz

Note the space.

Where do you think PHP stole it from?

It depends. The few states that have no income tax, obviously, won’t tax your income.

Most states with an income tax will try to tax your income if it originates in their state. From personal experience as someone who has lived in Washington State (no income tax) and worked in Oregon (income tax up the wazoo), if the work is done “in Oregon” you are taxed.

But, and this was especially true during the pandemic and everyone working remotely, if you’re not in the state, and the employer isn’t based in Oregon (i.e., headquartered out east somewhere), and you don’t reside in Oregon, you don’t owe Oregon tax for any work not done in the state. Most employers will deduct taxes for Oregon as if you worked there all year. Just keep a spreadsheet full of days worked vs not worked in Oregon, and fill in the right box on the OR-40-N. They’ll send you a letter asking for a signed letterhead from your employer supporting your math, so, if you’re no longer with that employer, get that before you quit / part ways.
