I mean… at least he’s washing his ass.

As a fullstack developer I don’t appreciate you calling me out like this. Write an efficient SQL query you framework monkeys.

But also, this is very true.

To be fair Kubernetes creates copies of the things it drops into the ocean to replace them as fast as they’re lost.

Yesterday I would have argued that with the rails framework Ruby is a great way to rapidly develop a scalable application. Today I started having an intermittent failure in one of my API instances and when searching about it the only thing I could find was one obscure blogpost that boiled down to “yeah sometimes Ruby Ave active record just screws up the character set off a string” exact same string, different results. Excuse me Ruby? How the fuck can you sometimes screw up a character set? There should be no sometimes to any thing here.

Important facts for people that didn’t bother to read the article: it’s $2.1m each, so total is $4.2m. The coverage of the drug was cut on a schedule that was determined in January. The diagnosis of the disease was 5 days after the cut.

The cost isn’t an issue in my mind, but I think good to know how much the parents are in for. Insurance companies exist because of these costs, they should have to cover any treatment that has significantly higher success rates, especially when the lack of coverage will result in death, or other life-long consequences.

The timing and schedule are important as the headline makes it appear this decision was in response to these kids being born with the condition, when in fact, there was no diagnosis at the time of the cut and these kids were still months away from being born when the decision was made.

Final bit, though this wasn’t in the article, the drug is being covered for these kids. It took pressure from the state government apparently, or maybe just all the bad press. Shouldn’t change anyone’s opinion on POS insurers, but it’s at least good news that these kids aren’t condemned to a death sentence.

“We cheated so hard and still lost! They had to have stolen it!”

The movie Clue is an insanely good comedy. If you watch it on streaming or disc the movie ends, but then goes “or it could have happened like this” And shows an alternative ending. Then does it again.

When it was released in theaters each theater got one of the endings at random. I imagine anyone talking about the movie after watching it at different theaters has a similar energy as this greentext.

In the dry SW US the answer is drink water when it’s 100F or worse 115F+. Having a half liter of water from the hotel for the half day mountain hike, or pounding a half gallon of ice water and throwing up five minutes later. Your body doesn’t tell you when you should drink, it tells you when you are already behind on drinking.

“Growing tik toc trend” only gives one example that we’ve all already watched. Either it’s a lie about it being a trend or piss poor reporting.

Also, paid by whom? The parties with the most ability to pay for influence are not pushing left leaning ideals.

They’re getting desperate to find bag holders.

This was such a Chad move though. “I’m going to make sure the king knows exactly who I am with zero fucking doubt. No chance for me to weasel out of it pretending it might be confused for some other John. Come at me you royal bitch!”

The US government of yesteryear recognized a problem, so they drew up legislation intended to improve fuel efficiency, and thus reduce emissions. But they recognized that certain trades required large vehicles that could never be that efficient. So they built in a loophole for vehicles over a certain size not counting towards the requirements being placed manufacturers. Manufacturers being the crafty hogs they are realized if they just increased the size of everything they wouldn’t have to follow any of the rules. Now you have a company like Ford that only has one actual car ( a muscle car at that) in its lineup. Everything else are trucks suvs and crossovers.

The government of today could rewrite these rules to make the loophole require business licenses or something else, but half of them refuse to see there’s a problem at all, and half of what’s left are in the pocket of the problem makers.

Yes, we need an actual left, but No Labels isn’t it. They preach centrism. But from what I’ve seen they’re just a way for right wingers to try to hide the fact that they’re right wingers.

No one going to call out that anon has sleep apnea? Dude just dozed off and stopped breathing and his brain wrote a quick narrative to explain it. People talking like anon went to another plain, but this is just some shit your brain does when your body is so dumb it forgets to breath when you fall asleep and your brain is desperate to wake your ass up so it can get its oxygen fix.

Compete? They don’t need to compete. Their vendor lock in strategy is unbeatable. I have no idea how they continue to scam companies onto their platform, but I don’t know anyone that’s happy with it after a few years (except that one ass hat at every company that somehow keeps moving more business processes to it), and yet I’ve never seen any company successfully get off it.

Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?

US Auditor: you have a DEI program?

CEO: non

US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?

CEO: they are jee most qualeefied

US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.

CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.

US: what?

Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.

I mean, it looks like that business is already there selling passports. Maybe we could sell them World Vehicle Registration plates?

Further, if you drop something small, like a screw, set the flashlight on the floor. This will make all the small things cast long shadows and stand out way more.

One project I worked on had 10 different languages. That was rough. But even your basic full stack web application is usually 5 languages: SQL, a backend language, HTML, CSS and JS. Usually some wheel reinventing frameworks thrown in for good measure. 5 languages is light these days.
