@mycoliza Ideal way to use this site.

@ettingermentum Still kinda disappointing that America can never just fully admit their president sucks.

Francois Hollande had polls at like 14% approval rating towards the end of his presidency!

@jarredsumner Did you ever do something on this? We see this pretty consistently (wouldn't mind paying for an easy to manage mirror that just doesn't 500 but I don't think that's a product that exists lol)

Just listening to Odd Lots to get some knowledge and then getting blindsided by Moby Dick spoilers smh

@kellogh @mitsuhiko @mitchellh One underrated component of lobsters is that you totally can be banned for being (for lack of a better word) annoying. If you’re constantly generating stupid fights you get banned.

A couple of sites could benefit from this rule…

@kellogh @mitsuhiko @mitchellh I am still very happy to have a place that tries to have focused technical content, but I simply do not look at the comments section of anything with over 30 comments. I don’t even look at the story!

Anything with too many comments tends to just be some annoying back and forth

@mitsuhiko Really wish we had a way to open a new connection in pg within the same transaction for this kind of reason

(I think a lot of people up their CI spend and just don’t write deep integration tests tho….)

@TeamYouTube @_liberBRG Don’t you have people who speak multiple languages on your staff?

[Raphael @rtpg_]

@JasnTru Awesome, hope the business is going well!

@mitsuhiko I’ve seen this pattern on a couple libs in the past (docker and softlayer API clients, I think stripe as well?) and it works out nicely. Softlayer even had a “forward compatible”thing where api.thing.create would “work” even if thing wasn’t defined thanks to getattr magic

@paxfulania @osamabishounen Why do I keep on seeing this person in my feed? He’s not even a person with a real job yet! Adults shouldn’t be talking about him!

This guy and the annoying “YIMBY for Harris” guy with the worst fit imaginable in his pfp seem to be able to eternally be in discourse.

[Raphael @rtpg_]

@GergelyOrosz Maybe some of these parts get sent back to be looked at? I have my doubts they would ever be put back into circulation but at least there would be some investigation?

@mitsuhiko Using six in the year of our lord 2025 is definitely a vibe!

@adamjohnsonCHI Like there are so many people who talk about Netanyahu being “the” problem, but on World I remember them talking about the gnarlier dynamics even pre Oct 7th during the one of many“is Netanyahu done for” events. That the people in the wings aren’t necessarily better for peace.

[Raphael @rtpg_]

@adamjohnsonCHI Putting Tommy Vietor on the header image here feels pretty unfair. On his pod (World) at least I feel he’s pretty consistently talked about how the alternatives to Netanyahu are people with “bad” positions.

Maybe the PS people need the pressure to be more explicit though

@SamtheNightOwl @duns_sc0tus The weirdest thing about “the discourse” on “they” is that nearly 30 years ago i was taught as a small child to use “they” in single pronoun indeterminate cases yet I’ve seen so much discourse acting like this is some obscure trick and not just a built-in alternative to “he/she”

A very clever puzzle action game, highly recommended :)

@patio11 @DKThomp Feels like it also fails the basic test of “if the airline no longer offered flights then what happens.”

People want the points to get flights!

See also “what if Google no longer offered search”.

Test ain’t perfect tho. What if Heroku stopped paying its electricity bills…
