Putting the “no” in zapfino

Hold on, I’ve got 6 updates since you opened me an hour ago.

You can wait right?

Weirdly I can’t find lua references there

There are a few that someone just left behind in the 000s, but they can’t be relied on.

!mensliberation@lemmy.ca has good discussion on this topic

I don’t know how I just overlooked it as a cool tower

Was the tower in the Civ 3 ad plus intro the Tower of Babel? Never made that connection before

I never considered the world where we invent the ability to accelerate time, and just use it for making workers work more shifts so they die even younger just to extract more value relative to those without the technology.

SQL auto format is still mostly terrible

The only half decent format is to start from the Mozilla style and then make it more sane.

I’ve been playing with sqlglot lately and want to start using it for diffs.

I’ll check out both, thanks!

ed is the standard editor

Same with neovim

I was able to do that

Turns out there was a second bug which triggered this one, and a bug I found in this script that I thought was responsible was happening silently for months.

Now three bugs are squashed

Yeah, I don’t consider most code complete unless it’s safe and reproducible. I love make, currently using npm but you can set up scripts with it. Automating the build process was the very first thing I did.

This project is a piece of work. There’s effectively no documentation, and every now and then I find something new like this. The stuff I’ve fixed up so far has been much much more reliable and performant.

Part of me just wants to rewrite the whole thing, but I need to ship features so we can sell the product and pay my salary.

At least I’m not a cog in a huge corporation getting my soul crushed every day. I actually love fixing weird stuff.

Cron is a scheduler to run a program at a set frequency

He does charge a consulting fee to “fix” these issues

Almost all of them are dumb shit like this, where something is built in super hacky and dumbass ways.

What’s extra frustrating is the previous guy did create a git repo of these types of hacks, but this one doesn’t live in it for no discernible reason.

Yesterday I laughed at this, today Excel stripped leading zeros from a sheet of UPCs and converted them to floating point.

Also format as Text apparently means nothing

I haven’t used 4chan since like 2008, so no idea how its changed.

I do remember a username/password mechanic but can’t remember how it worked.

Why would anyone use their real email on 4chan? I wouldn’t touch it without at least a proxy or two and a vpn.

Yep, 1 day blinding stew.

It’s as close to humble pie as it gets.
