Lol that's funny, just as fun as thinking what a drone could do in a medical emergency

Like you're at a music festival and a friend ODs and it's narcan time and no person has one and no professional is present; maybe sending a drone with narcan doses and a video phone line to an advising nurse would be better than waiting for the inbound ambulance.

In my lived experiences pure negative feedback is equally traumatizing as intermittent verbal beratement.

I am sexually attracted to individuals who fit a set of certain phenotypes but in persuing sexual relationships with these people I got nothing but negative feedback. I'm not going into specifics bc that doesn't matter here. The point is that now physical attraction doesn't matter to me and am yes finally having sex..

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't feel bad when people hate you for solving a problem they wanted. Of course they'd hate you for not letting them say whatever they want to you whenever, you're literally not letting them do something, you're like taking something, emotionally. Granted they shouldn't want to do that in the first place which is how we solve the problem.

If I don't want to be the kind of person who limits everyone who talks to me to texts then I'll remove people who necessitate that from me. I don't need to speak if I can't speak safely, just like I don't need to drive if I've had a few beers. Sharing information about me isn't the important thing, what's most important is that I feel supported in the way I need and that means I don't talk to anyone or everyone.

For those who live a life where they can't remove the problems my advice is to take a more information theory approach, you can speak lots of words while conveying no meaning, it's a skill. It involves developing a deep and intimate comprehension of the midwits comprehension of the entropy of nature language. Some people are just smart enough to realize that words are arbitrary sounds and if they consistently mean the same thing when they say the same word they can redefine it as they wish, biggest victim of this is "think",,, "think" can mean billions of things there's no reliable way to know so don't know, don't care that do "think", do "think" yourself.

Consistently mean what you mean.

Take things from people that they don't need like: bad behaviors and hierarchy and traditions and history and systems. Trillions of people have lived long and healthy lives without many of the things we have today and a lot of those things aren't needed take them.

Govern the information that you emit on an informational level; instead of answering "why are you wearing that" with an explanation just say "it is already on me" and if that lack of information causes a fight let it. You only selected the amount of information you emitted you have no control or the reaction (having control would imply that there is a min amount of info you should emit which there just isn't source am a person)

And in doing these things I have found my life improving. Idk about you but I hope you do too.

Sometimes* a hookup is just a hookup

"smelly"??

I think you're projecting

It's 2026, lear your damn lesson

You mean "went" right?

Top shelf phone I hope it holds on for awhile. I mainly love having an answering robot, but let me put my phone number on the internet for free!!! That way there's no point in buying my phone number from a data leak.. frankly the whole concept of phone numbers and gives me the ick for a lot of reasons.

Or pull your friends out while he pulls yours out

Getting old means all the famous people you grew up with just disappear like this one by one...

Waaaooww what a position

I'd want to disagree bc I know Nix and that feels declarative to me where as html just feels like actual drawing, like there's no conditional or iteration therefore how are you transforming information? HTML is a markup bc you need to render a UI and you don't know anything about the screen or keyboard&mouse so cope

This is a LinkedIn screenshot, sry if I cropped it too tight

A bunch of weeks ago the CTO of my company calls me up to ask about my prejudice against the useState hook, I'm guessing I've just been giving my team too much shit in code reviews about them using useState hooks and they went to complain to him and he asked me to explain what the value of the useReducer hook was.

His background is Java, Microsoft Java, C++, and not much else.

So I was able to explain to him the value of the useReducer hook is a lot like the common class object. In useReducer you're expected to write discreet state mutations and the state could potentially have more than 1 primitive field that gets mutated, and that's just what object classes are! In an object class you're writing methods for mutating the underlying state, the reason I think most people don't feel like these two things are the same is because of the functional appearance of the reducer function and how in object classes you have the this as a variable just like any other, so you're not returning a new state.

So just like in react where they're installing REDUX (like three generations of their families would be massacred if they didn't) just to write a switch case statement that puts the action in variables in the state. Bad programmers are just bad.

Only typescript is great. Raw JavaScript is like rawdogging someone (iykyk), you get STDs

A perfectly accurate statement when the set of all use cases for PHP has 0 things in it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 1000000000% agreed

I'm so heartbroken by the idea of unit tests. My first job was at a home automation startup and our primary product was a device that we would send ota firmware updates to. The device was based on an esp32, and because it received software updates from the app it had to be 100% robust and had full test coverage and the mono repo that would compile the firmware was gorgeous.

I'm a web developer and I've been wanting to replicate that exact experience ever since but I just can't get any team on board. It's gone to the point where if the llm writes a unit test I'll just commit it so I don't care.

I feel like useState and useEffect are 2 sides of the same coin

Tab chars are better than spaces AND the correct tab width is 2 spaces
