Yeah, but how do you draw the line? How do you figure out how to be comfortable without being a slow-quitter but also how to be friendly ambitious and creative without overstepping your boundaries at the job? I'm really bad at this. Sometimes I just regurgitate ideas I read online and I don't even realise how stupid they are until I find a counterpoint somewhere else.

When I got into my current job and saw years of spaghetti PHP, all I wanted to do was change everything and even reimplement all the CodeIgniter3 stuff in Laravel so we could have a better system but my coworkers made me realise that such a change would be detrimental to the team's performance because they're comfortable with the current system. Just last week I was reading about Chesterton's fence and it definetly applies.

The highest performer on my team has developed the system in PHP years ago and he's kinda the only one who really groks it. Jonathan Blow talks about highest performers as the one who know how to program better but it's actually those who know the system better and I just don't wanna step on their toes.

Yeah I mean it's like in "this has aesthetic value". Like "sympathetic" or "synthetic".

That's why I always salt my one-word searches with a prepending random string.

Or how people often use "ironic" to mean "sarcastic" but never the other way around.

they believe if this argument were true then 'JPEG' would be pronounced 'JEG'

Instead of the correct pronunciation, ˈdʒeɪˌpɛʒ

Just be careful when discussing Stronghold strats.

So it should be "pong".

Very confusing article. Why would anyone read for compression?

The "map to the Mona Lisa" is a perfect analogy. And the best part is that we can even create a new blockchain, call it something like "Besthereum" with another map to the exact same work in the real world. You don't even really own the map but a specific representation of the map, unique to the blockchain it's contained in.

As a Brazilian, any Toba catastrophes terrify me.

Great for people who like Tom Clancy.

The first person uses "revolting" as a verb.

The second person interprets "revolting" as an adjective.

That's very kind but it seems like consent is a ship that has already sailed in this case.

I believe it's serious to the point he probably avoided using backspace while typing it.

Why should VS Code work on Linux??

Because it's heavily marketed as "runs everywhere". The .deb package is flawless, honestly.

I thought they were going to mention the "new coke" conspiracy theory which states that coke ditched the old flavor for a new one in 1985 and then changed it back later but this time with corn syrup instead of sugar in just enough time for people to forget what exactly it tasted like before and not complain about the change.

I wonder how bash would handle that.

The CCP has their own censored version of the texts and you can only get them through official channels. They call it a "comprehensive evaluation of the existing religious classics aiming at contents which do not conform to the progress of the times". Holy shit.

It's not a treatment option, that's the problem; it's being presented as if it was.

There it is.

Thanks for the tip.
