The main thing you are missing is that “loose coupling” does not mean “create an interface”. You can have all concrete classes and loose coupling or all classes with interfaces and strong coupling. Coupling is not about your choice of implementation, but about which part does what.

If an interface simplifies your code, then use interfaces, if it doesn’t, don’t. The dogma of “use an interface everywhere” comes from people who saw good developers use interfaces to reduce coupling, while not understanding the context in which it was used, and then just thought “hey so interfaces reduce coupling I guess? Let’s mandate using it everywhere!”, which results in using interfaces where they aren’t needed, while not actually reducing coupling necessarily.

Hate to break it to you, but proximity chat is enabled in real life all the time.

Isn’t this just terminating their official partner status? I’m pretty sure they can still run their server, just not be an official partner.

It’s interesting to me that there is no thought at all to move to “neither”. Of course, that is what they count on, people not willing to give something so perceived important up.

I recently lost my phone for a few days. Until I found it, it was annoying, but life still worked. Of course, it’s a major drop in convenience, no doubt, but I would’ve likely been fine without either Android or iPhone.

If they start doing X I will go somewhere where they have been doing X for a long time! That’ll show them!

Perfect explanation. This kind of thing shows why tech giants are giants and why selfhosted is a niche. People like paying for convenience.

No one deserves to be treated like that. The fact that there are people that righteously believe people deserve to be treated like that is part of our problems as a society.

Unsolicited advice is asshole-behavior, like it or not.

I’m sorry, I was enjoying myself in RL the last few days and haven’t visited Lemmy. Thanks for your message, I will now commence feeling bad based on your suggestion and fall into deep self doubt and feelings of unworthiness.

This is such a weird article. Electron is not for making http requests, it’s for rendering web pages. Nothing within curl can render web pages. I’m not saying you should be using electron necessarily, but this is just so obviously wrong, what is the author thinking?

And (almost) any programming language has a built-in primitive for making http requests (possibly even using libcurl internally), why would I switch to a command line call if I can just do the http call directly with that primitive?

You can flip burgers from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week!

“You” are not which hobbies you have or the topics you’re interested in. The fact that I can even form this sentence and it’s not nonsensical should already prove that. I feel like it is self-evident.

You exist, and you go through multiple interests. That means there must be some “you” that is not connected to these interests.

So, why do you define yourself by your interests? Because in our society, specialization is disproportionately rewarded, while a multi-spectrum approach (forgot the word, generalism?) is not. Everyone wants to feel useful in society and we’re made to not feel that. But it’s not that having ADHD makes us useless, it’s just that almost no one bothers to invest in/use our strengths.

So, no, this is neither an attack, nor can you not have a sense of identity. Multiple changing interests are not bad. Not being specialized in one thing is not bad. I’m proud of knowing a lot about a lot of different things. I like who I am, with ADHD, and you should, too.

UBI will only come after workers are automated away, not before. We almost never had progress for progress’ sake, only out of necessity.

I guess they meant “beyond repair if you don’t have access to a live boot USB or the means to create one”. Gotta remember who this warning is meant for. For those kind of users, “beyond repair” might technically be true.

Almost no one showers more than once per day. So for you, “most people are just dirty”, not just “some”.

I’m relatively convinced that “growing together” doesn’t really work. I only improved either alone or in a relationship with someone that was obviously more well-adjusted than me.

If there’s too much friction, especially in vulnerable/problematic periods, problematic behaviors get reinforced rather than remedied. In my experience, it kinda requires one side to be able to maintain the “proper” behavior for any change to happen. If both sides degenerate into their worst traits, it only gets worse.

Sooo, I guess I don’t really have any good advice. Do with it what you will.

I would answer the true size in the unit of football fields.

Or light years, depending in what mood I am.

Generally, if a woman asks you this, it is supposed to trigger male penis insecurities to see how you handle it.

So, even if you are not insecure about your penis size, you’re quite obviously insecure in how to answer the question. For a woman that cares about this, you failed already, no matter what you answer.

Of course, if you manage to obscure your insecurity, your failure might be hidden. Such is the way of dating, in general.

I don’t understand how silence “hard-counters”… I mean it blocks most casting for a round but it’s only a 20 foot sphere, that can easily be moved out of. Yes it gives like one turn of disabling a caster, but honestly, lots of spells give that already.

Dilligent casters in a magic heavy setting probably know the dangers of silence and have prepared ways to work around it.

I just don’t understand how it’s possible, like you say, “hard-counter every boss”. In specific situations, sure. But “every”? That would seem to me like just not a very smart/tactical DM you play with.

There simply is none if you do it regularly, at least for me.
