The internet didn’t exist at this time, but those two words did, and referred to their pre-internet equivalents.

Also, I was making a joke. But you do happen to be incorrect.

It’s the “radio” option, they just haven’t updated the form in 40y

Did you miss the words “dark pattern”? it is a term for when companies misuse/abuse UX principles to trick people into acting against their own best interests. In this case, the bold “click me” looking button in the screenshots means “yes daddy, spank me and then sell my data to your friends”, which is the option that most people who see that box won’t want to click.

Unfortunately, a large swath of the general population are trained in their brains to “click ok to make it go away”. These UX decisions take advantage of those people.

Assumedly, the grayed out box will also not dismiss the banner, but instead lead to a more complicated experience where you then are forced to drill down into complicated options to decide which of the cookies to set, which will be confusing if you didn’t open the link at top in a new tab to cross reference which of the 27 data brokers “Technology Partners” to decide which.

It’s not UX, it’s abusive UI and the very definition of malicious compliance to EU regulations.

that still contradicts pictrs breaking the thumbnail

i always hated that the us version of this show felt like they needed to say this explicitly, that was one of the best things about the british version is that the points were a cute little joke that didn’t need to be spelled out

i mean the toilet keeps exploding, how’s anyone gonna keep the floor clean in those circumstances

on lemmy you can edit your title to correct the typo

having is less annoying way of not doing needless/bug-prone repetition. if you select someCalculatedValue(someInput) as lol you can add having lol > 42 in mysql, whereas without (ie in pgsql) you’d need to do where someCalculatedValue(someInput) > 42, and make sure changes to that call stay in sync despite how far apart they are in a complex sql statement.

most languages have some first or third party lib that implements a query builder

i didn’t crack til 42

For what it’s worth, even with those oddities, i think you should at least try lunarvim.

The separate config thing is nice because i can try neovim+other-megaplugins without affecting my precious lvim config. the same is true on the other side, lvim won’t bonk your core neovim config.

And with the keybinds, it’s to make sure the sub-plugins work well together. using lvim’s custom key config helps keep all your plugins from interfering with each other.

Legit, especially if you’re going to modern vim from a modern gui ide, lunarvim will get you really close to a comfortable environment, and you can move on from there to perfect it for your own needs.

You just apply anyway.

Usually they’re not willing to pay anywhere close to doctorate money for doctorates anyway, and will end up settling no matter who they pick.

I’m not sure if i’ve ever known any engineer who has met the listed job requirements for their role. They say requirements, but what they mean is “this is my ideal”. Put another way: think of it like a dating app profile. dude may act like he only dates 10s in his profile, but you show him some attention and suddenly you’re just as good as a 10, because he’s lonely and needs affection from someone.

Basically, for most companies, they’re essentially the corporate version of incels. Way too high of standards, but will settle for anyone who is into them regardless of what they think their standards are, because they just need someone ASAP, and their standards disappear quickly once you make yourself available.

I’ve enjoyed a 20+ year long career as a programmer, and I dropped out of college 3 months in because i couldn’t afford it. That’s because early in my career i took a few shitty jobs until i had a decent enough resume that i didn’t have to take shitty jobs anymore. That took study and practice and passion in programming, but i did that for fun years before i even showed up on the university doorstep.

Same except i dropped out of college 3 months in and have enjoyed a healthy career for the last 20 years anyway.

I recently (couple months ago) switched back to vim after not using it for anything but quick little edits for 20ish years, but i grew up on vim in the 90s.

Like the other poster i picked lunarvim for my neovim starting point. Thought I’d try others too, but lunarvim’s defaults were nice enough that I just kept honing the config after that and never got around to trying anything else because i was already really happy with my setup.

Lunarvim is a really good base. It does have some gotchas, such as having its own way of defining keybinds, and having a completely separate config folder in ~/.config/lvim, and a few other config things that are specific to lvim, but it’s all well documented on lunarvim’s site.

I agree. Take more pictures of yourself out having fun. especially if that fun involves both men and women (assuming you’re a straight man looking for a woman). Show potential partners things you want to do with them, not things you want to do with your bros to get away from them.

Take more pictures of yourself. Have your bro friends take pictures of you while you’re out. Tell them you want them to because it’ll help your dating site profile.

If you don’t have pictures of yourself, you probably won’t have many pictures of either me or us if we were together. Take more pictures. Get friends to take pictures of you. Get pictures of yourself having fun, not just showing off whatever fish you just caught.

You didn’t take that fish pic because you wanted a picture of yourself. You took it because you wanted a picture of the fish. You’re only in the damn pic yourself to prove it was you who caught the fish, there would be no picture of you if there was no fish.
