I fully agree with most of what you’re saying. But I also have many close friends who started out as coworkers, but we found out we’re enjoying each other’s company.

Hell I’m crashing on a former colleague’s (and former boss’s even) couch right now, and another colleague in the same city offered theirs. Another ex coworker is my deepest confidant in just about any topic.

It’s a bit tricky to find out which people are worth deepening the relationship with, and how to cordially avoid the others. But that’s just like everywhere else tbh.

Edit: I wanna add it’s perfectly fine to keep your distance to people from work, as long as you’re not being an asshole. I know I would have missed out on great seemingly lifetime friendships with that attitude and I don’t recommend not joining this seemingly cool person for a drink after work for the sole reason that you work together.

In an ideal world where people read the open source yes. But having contracts with a provider means someone else is responsible if shit fails and that’s half of the corporate world there.

Well back in my days we would wear an onion on the belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

Naaah. Good programmers know how to use as any as any to make this work in typescript as well.

I had the grid solution wrong, but your explanation is sound! Thanks!

As a German, I’ve definitely learned that in school. Maybe it was memes by then as well, but it being the late 90s I doubt it.

Unless you’re in JS.

For all numbers I know (I didn’t look anything up, but so did nobody else) I’m at a bigger risk of being run over when I cross the street to the store. And glasses surely are a bigger inconvenience than not having onions when you wanna cook or beers when the footie is on.

To be fair those places do exist. Just don’t go looking for advise on being human on the site literally known for being terrible at humaning. Even the Old Place had and still has areas with very decent discourse.

Can’t compare it with cancer, but calling it barely an inconvenience is also a bit rich in my experience.

Also the 1% chance is pulled out of someone’s arse isn’t it? Did anyone here look up actual numbers for long term detrimental effects?

Yup. The procedure is like something out of a body horror movie. Nothing I’d wanna do again for fun. Still 10/10 payoff, would do again.

Yeah but neither is a minion there. Morgoth thought Ungoliant to be his minion while acting as if she’d be his partner, which blew up in his face

Everybody complaining about css like “but it doesn’t do what I want if to do without me investing a minute into why”.

Ironically, it’s oh so often the RTFM crowd.

The giant spiders weren’t Morgoths minions though. If you’d call Ungoliant serving Morgoth, Shelob would count as serving Sauron just as well.

I don’t see how it is a joke tbh. Thought that was one common interpretation of said law.

Kinda looks like it has a very unfortunate kind of moustache that went out of fashions for reasons that are very well related to dangers to humans.

But what can be more human than being a predator and a terrible being as well?

Yeah I know the problem but man deserved it for that.
