I mean I hate that the steam controller is missing an entire thumb stick and a dpad, but I like the touchpad too. This just seems like an PS4 controller.

Unbelievably amazing

odo grunts

camera pans to Worf warfing down a bowl of gagh, making horrible slurping sounds

odo scoffs and turns away sharply

La’an primly cuts a perfectly square pancake into equal sized squares “So, Odo, as head of security on DS9, what do you consider your most important debrief?”

Odo scoffs again “I caught the bad guys, because it was my job”

La’an, dryly “Quite fascinating Odo, very applicable”

That sucks, you’re doing the right thing. Did you consider getting the tapes of who did it from the store cameras? Although it’s probably too late now. They should be punished for their toxic behavior.

There definitely are people who’s empathy hasn’t improved. Maybe two-thirds of the population’s empathy has improved, but the remainder became even more sociopathic. They get mad when people wear masks, when billionaires get taxed, or when medical services are given to homeless people. There is a group that just lives on fear and rage. They somehow think that keying someone’s car who wears a mask is justified because…? Maybe just that they saw people wearing masks during the pandemic and concluded masks cause pandemics.

I suppose this is a hot take, but I’d never intentionally select a closed source paid database or programming language. Your data is the most valuable thing you have. The idea that you’d lock yourself into a contract with a third party is extremely risky.

For example, I’ve never seen a product on Oracle that didn’t want to migrate off, but every one has tightly coupled everything Oracle so it’s nearly impossible. Why start with Oracle in the first place? Just stay away from paid databases, they are always the wrong decision. It’s a tax on people who think they need something special, when at most they just need to hire experts in an open source database. It’ll be much much cheaper to just hire talent.

Meanwhile I’ve done two major database shifts in my career, and you are correct, keeping to ANSI standard SQL is extremely important. If you’re on a project that isn’t disciplined about that, chances are they are undisciplined about so many other things the whole project is a mess that’ll be gone in ten years anyway. I know so few projects that have survived more than fifteen years without calls for a “rewrite”. Those few projects have been extremely disciplined about 50% of all effort is tech debt repayment, open source everything, and continuous modernization.

I don’t think it’s going away until ECMA supports native types. Until then it’s the best game in town.

If a team decides to move away from it, it’s only few hours work to entirely remove. So even if it’s going away, it’s risk free until then.

But I cannot imagine why any team would elect to remove Typescript without moving to something else similar. Unless it’s just a personal preference by the developers who aren’t willing to learn it. It removes so many issues and bugs. It makes refactoring possible again. I think teams that want to remove all types are nostalgic, like a woodworker who wants to use hand tools instead of power tools. It’s perfectly fine, and for some jobs it’s better. But it’s not the most efficient use of a team to build a house.

Thanks you made me laugh so hard I woke up my partner

I loved this book as a kid. The stories were just so creepy and weird

“You’re going the wrong way!!”

“How does he know where we’re going?”

“Oh yeah”

Bashir realizes they are going to crash into two other ships

“AHHHHHHH”

ship shudders as it scrapes between the two incoming ships. Sparks fly dramatically, and Bashir looks over to see O’Brien dressed in a devil costume laughing maniacally

Yeah but are you using it or are you using the closed source options?

I think it’s kinda meh tbh. The missing second joystick really makes it hard to use. Maybe I’ve got it configured wrong or something, but I always end up just using a ps4 controller.
