Done with Jury Duty!
I have no memory of what I was up to before that started. 🤔
(Maybe that's a good thing? Could probably use a shake of the ol' etch-a-sketch from time to time)
@jpf Oddly enough, there were several engineers along with an archivist & a librarian, so there was much scruitiny over documentation
@arthurdoler :oof: Interesting, but :oof:
@randomgeek @masukomi I've worked in both Django & Rails in recent years, and have to say I really prefer Django.
My Rails experience is fresher, but I feel like I'm struggling a lot more in a big app to figure out where & how things all magically & implicitly mix into a model class. I don't remember that being a challenge in Django
(That could admittedly be a PEBCAK-class problem though)
@masukomi @randomgeek Yeah, I think that's it for me? Also maybe I'm not as versed in the convention as would be helpful?
At least in more explicit languages I can fall back on some IDE tools. Whereas, in Rails, the only thing that seems to help me is whole-project text search. Like, where in this dense hierarchy of 100s of Ruby source files does this one specific field somehow end up attached to this busy model class 🤷♂️
@thegibson Talking Carls all the way down, shrieking into eternity
@lori @thegibson hah, I see I was late to this joke 😀
@mhoye@mastodon.social john mastodon walked so that we might run
"EVE Online's developers are making a blockchain game in the EVE universe"
Funny thing is that EVE is the only game where I think blockchain scams would actually work in-universe and according to lore. (But I somehow doubt they're going to put Jita on the blockchain)
@mconnor Yeah, I think the main thing that kept CCP from implementing that before was maybe technological developments that allowed them to take a cut
"Fortnite’s Unreal Engine editor lets it compete with Roblox"
I remember playing with UnrealED back in, like, 1998. It was clunky but kinda great. I wonder how much fun this will be?
@retroist@mastodon.social Whoa, that's sure a time capsule right there haha
@hi_mayank That's a really slow bar if you're waiting 3 years between your shot and chaser
@hi_mayank FWIW, mastodon has edit technology these days, if you wanted to clarify the post
@hi_mayank Sending a note to folks who've interacted with the toot is kind of the point of clarifying
And, like, IMO, that 3 years of a pandemic passed in the interim is kind of relevant to the point
I'd like to bring Congress around for questioning and have fun angrily asking questions like...
DO YOU KNOW HOW A MANTIS SHRIMP CAN BREAK AQUARIUM GLASS? IT'S A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION, STOP AVOIDING IT.
HAVE YOU DIRECTED YOUR STAFF TO DEFENESTRATE THE EQUESTRIAN? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, ANSWER THE QUESTION DON'T INTERRUPT RECLAIMING MY TIME WE'RE MOVING ON
DO YOU KNOW THE WIFI PASSWORD OR DO I HAVE TO BUY A CRULLER? STOP DANCING AROUND THE ISSUE
So, just for fun, I was looking up my representative's website.
I know this doesn't mean what it looks like, but it made me blink for a minute.
(above the fold, it reads "FOR RENT" while below the fold, it reads "Blumenauer Unveils Legislative Blueprint to Address Housing Crisis")
