You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?
…
This is why I got out of fintech.
(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)
Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)
These JSON memes got me feeing like some junior dev out there is upset because they haven’t read and understood the docs.
The real problem I see all the time is people keep cutting this story short, the rest goes:
Workers: oh fuck no, I’m out, see ya.
Capital: wait, not like that. Please. What do you want? We can talk. Please … please come back.
Weird to me that last bit gets left off, especially in subs like Socialism and Work Reform.
Don’t forget how the story ends.
Edit: everyone commentong below about how the story can’t go this way is a reason solidarity and unity are so hard. Capital wants very badly for workers to forget that workers are where the power is…Keep telling youself all the reasons you don’t matter if you want, but not everyone believes their bullshit.

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of
And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.
Gracious of them to accept this resolution.
🤷♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.
You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.
Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:
Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.
Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?
I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
Maybe true, I don’t pay much attention. All I know is most studies and censuses I have seen show religious affiliation falling fairly rapidly.
🤷♂️
What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?
Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?
For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.
I think it’s reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.
Nah, I like my community without the side of eternal suffering that so many religions like to threaten you with for varioua reasons.
I’d put my money on huge adoption of D&D in the utopian future before I put it on religion.
I have never experienced that in the various places in the US I have lived.
I have lived in an old building where the voltage could and would sometimes drop too much for modern electronics to handle. A power conditioner or UPS resolved that if you run into that particular problem.
I mean, yeah, but I grew up in the northeast. You get a power cut from storms, ice, winds taking branches down, etc. You would usually lose power for less than a day. This maybe happened once every couple years?
This was 30+ years ago for me now, but that kind of minor outage is almost unavoidable.
I’m not sure why Atlanta would have a harder time than upstate ny, but I am willing to believe you. Its just not been my experience anywhere I have lived (which has mostly been what you describe: above ground lines).
There is no other battle shown in Star Trek to rival the time given to the one in Khan.
Off the top of my head there are incidences of ships being behind moons, in weird places they wouldn’t expect, etc. It’s just not a) discussed nearly as much on screen or b} shown on screen.
When we do see big battles, they are in 3d - Wolf 359 comes to mind.
I think you are correct that Khan is explicit and gives it a lot of punch, but I would argue we shouldn’t be too quick to say they almost never deal with 3d/zero g.
(who remembers Klingon’s blood is pink?)
And there are LOTS of examples of other ships uncloaking in non aligned positions.
I like this “starfleet policy is to make a best guess and align up when approaching” - borg cube presents particular problems.
participation in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
These are actions, not thoughts.
I would hope you now take back what you have been saying because you have been arguing a staw man.
As a cishet white male who dislikes Voyager, I would absolutely have enjoyed a clueless straight Tom Paris trying to set gay Harry up.
Instead he turned into a fish and kidnapped Janeway to, and I will be very gracious to the writing staff here, have consensual offspring with her.
Why did I tell myself I needed to watch that show? Worst trek. 😢
Edit: Also, good on Kate Mulgrew for being way more Star Trek than most by advocating for inclusion. I do like Janeway.
🤷♂️
I will admit to not having lived in the south. Maybe things are that bad down there, based on what you’re saying.
Are you, too, tired of the rhyming?
