“Trump state department official calls for sterilization of himself”.

I mean, you lead with “logging out is hard so I have no choice but to have a single user”. I countered with “it’s not hard, we do it just fine, here are mechanics that make it fairly easy”.

If you don’t understand that closing the tv app stops showing the tv app I’m not sure how to help you.

I have been using a single Apple TV in a multi-user home for many years, I think you’re overselling the difficulty here. Virtually every app will just ask you what user profile you want to use when the app opens; and when you’re done, closing the app is simple.

It’s far more obnoxious to need to browse every single app for their content rather than having a single unified watch list and closing an app when you’re done.

Apple provides a system for apps to expose their shows to the TV app; effectively every app other than Netflix uses that system but Netflix intentionally removed themselves from it.

Which effectively removed Netflix from my viewing habits because I use the TV app to manage all of my other apps/subscriptions, and because Netflix doesn’t show up I never consume their content. I still think it was a really stupid move on the part of Netflix.

Because a simple query would have shown that SSN was a compound key with another column (birth date, I think), and not the identifier he thinks it is.

I had to implement a Facebook Pixel for a client about a decade ago; learning how that worked and how wildly effective it was at tracking Facebook users, even while not logged into Facebook, was enough to drive me off mainstream social media.

I really don’t want them to improve the animations; the shitty character model animations are the best part of the game.

There was a point in martial arts training when I started to be the upper belt to my partners more frequently, and for the first time I started to be the one answering questions rather than asking them.

The best lesson I learned from this is that I usually learned more while I was teaching. People would ask me “why do we do X” and even though I basically knew the answer I wouldn’t be able to articulate it, and the quest for that articulation would force me to really think about the answer in ways that I hadn’t before.

Long story short there: I learned that there is always an opportunity to learn, and that I never knew as much as I thought I did. These were so damn useful to me in not being that second kind of person. I wish everyone could have that experience.

3x5 for life.

Hell of a good thumbnail for the article.

It is awesome. All the feel of the first game with performance that isn’t constantly holding it back from being fun.

Enjoyable is so subjective.

I now write basically all of my projects in Rust because I find the language so enjoyable. I like it so much that it has ruined my desire to continue working on existing projects… because they aren’t written in Rust.

I don’t think I ever got actual advice from anyone on how to be a man.

I did have an excellent role model in my dad though. He said a lot with his actions. I try to pay that forward with my boys.

Given that Musk just recently made a hand gesture that was widely interpreted as a Nazi salute at Donald Trump's inauguration…

I really wish we would stop adding all the extra words around this.

Musk gave a Nazi salute.

If you play his nazi salute next to an actual video of Hitler doing his nazi salute it is effectively a frame by frame copy.

He did it twice to make sure we knew it wasn’t an accident.

Stop with all the “some people might have interpreted it as a Nazi salute under certain circumstances and at the right lighting and when the moon is waxing crescent” bullshit.

“‘There was a rumour there was, but it wasn’t true’, she told me.”

Turns out this rumor I started was only a rumor after all.

Also… red faced? Really? I refuse to believe that Boebert is capable of humility.

Can you even imagine what kind of content would air on Rick Perry the Science Guy?

Listen I get that these people have never taken a science class, but I damn well know at least some of them watched Jurassic Park.

I am a manager for a remote team. Sometimes I screw up and forget to double remind the team about holidays. Sometimes I remember but they forget anyways.

Either way, I’m not going to screw someone out of a day of PTO; I’ll usually suggest the coming Friday off as an alternative.

I would be honest, it’s a funny mistake and worth a quick laugh.

Jokes on you, Satan; heat doesn’t rise, it moves to cold. Hot air rises.
