we’ll be done with it exactly when the next fad picks up steam

i’ve mostly given up on expecting/trying to make coffee taste good. at this point i just eat the roasted beans and carry on with my day. it’s also more efficient since you lose a fair amount of caffeine through the brewing process. at this point i only have like 8-15 beans a day.

i still go to a cafe from time to time if i want a nice cappuccino or something, but i don’t bother with any of it at home.

edit: i should mention that roasted coffee beans can taste pretty good if they’re been roasted properly (and even better if eaten within a week of roasting). and you can get a pretty decent bean roaster for like 200$, and then after that a 3 lb. bag of unroasted beans costs like 30$. the 200$ upfront charge is pretty expensive, but it ends up paying for itself pretty quickly since you save an insane amount of money from buying unroasted coffee beans. when eating the roasted beans, a 3 lb. bag can last about 6 months to a year. so thats about 30$ to 60$ a year spent on coffee. even when i was brewing coffee, i found that the roaster paid for itself in about 6 months. not to mention that it’s not that hard to learn how to roast coffee beans, and everything tastes much better when using freshly roasted beans.

i think it’s mainly people being cranky and set in their ways. they got used to working around all the footguns/bad design decisions of the C/C++ specifications and really don’t want to feel like it was all for nothing. they’re comfortable with C/C++, and rust is new and uncomfortable. i think for some people, being a C/C++ developer is also a big part of their identity, and it might be uncomfortable to let that go.

i also think there’s a historical precedent for this kind of thing: when a new way of doing things emerges, many of the people who grew up doing it the old way get upset about it and refuse to accept that the new way might be an improvement.

what a beautiful language

after using gentoo for a couple months, i think i know a thing or two about spending Real Time getting the linux kernel

it’s floor 5 from monday to wednesday, and floor 2 from thursday to sunday

god i hope so

i wonder why people haven’t made a language that starts indexing at 2 yet. maybe some day

i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.

do you also have minced tables there?

he’s in a better place now

what’s even the point of a download link if you don’t have a guide that tells you how to click the link

i’m pretty ignorant on the state of australian news, so take what i’m about to say with a grain of salt.

it seems to me like the use of quotes might not be hostile, since they only use quotes when discussing the “gender affirmation model”, and they don’t use quotes around the phrase “gender-affirming”, which shows up in a few places in the article. so, the use of quotes might be used to emphasize that they’re discussing the gender affirmation model itself. the page i linked also specifically talks about preferring the phrase “gender affirmation” over “gender transition”, so maybe that’s part of what’s going on as well. another possibility is that it seems like the model is more commonly referred to as the “gender affirmative model” instead of the “gender affirmation model”, so the quotes might be trying to highlight that discrepancy.

but again, this is all just speculation on my part. i’m not trying to defend/excuse anything, and it would be nice to hear from people who know more about this stuff.

please bro just download one more app. please, your phone has so much space. we need more data come on bro please

why did they circle it using the “use scissors to cut this out” pattern

this seems like the only proper way to do anything in C++. it’s a language where there’s 5 ways to do 1 thing and 1 way to do 5 things.

dont even get me started on “content” instead of “videos/tweets/games/whatever”. not to mention the term “content creator”

Also “guest”? this isn’t a work huddle. Don’t you ever use that corporate trash-assed word after you clocked out. You arent c-suite, don’t use their language

so happy you said this. the use of the word “guest” instead of “customer” really gets under my skin

what if some are nodding and others are shaking their heads

and then they had the audacity to put that picture on the cover of the textbooks
