You know that thing you do, where you write some code and then realize you need a main function to execute it? And then you write your main function, but it’s not really your main function, it’s a bunch of half commented test code to make sure that the important code works?

Do that in a unit test, and when you’re done testing that particular piece, add some assertions and move on to the next piece of functionality. Boom, test driven development.

Microsoft Windows

For a moment I thought you said “unable to glow”. And I was like- I’m not sure they’ll be able to avoid it.

I don’t understand. I just see a rust developer. What is the joke?

Once upon a time I was installing Linux on a tiny little laptop, whose brand name I’ve forgotten. It was probably a Lenovo. Anyway, it was extremely difficult to install anything on it, and they went to great lengths to make sure no one would be able to install Linux on it. I spent an entire day messing around with the grub terminal, and began to suspect that it had a built-in cut off for the USB port during boot. I think I saw some log output to that effect, but I couldn’t find any way to disable it. After some thought, I got back in grub, unplugged the USB stick that I was installing Linux from, and plugged it back in. The laptop detected and mounted the external drive and I tried to install again.

Worked perfectly.

I recently wrote a little library that adds some neat little features to enums in Rust. It’s tiny, does one thing, and does it pretty well, I think.

I knew I left it around here somewhere.

Doesn’t matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.

Seconded. It’s pretty chill here.

Not anymore, it’s not. He’s immune from any sort of prosecution related to the job.

I appreciate that they continued to use a different fruit as a measurement even though there’s no reason why they couldn’t compare the kiwi to some other class of object.

Yeah, that was my interpretation as well, although I’ve heard the alternative usage too. Also, same situation for me. I’ve got a very few people that I’m friendly with, but no close friends. Hope it gets better for you, man.

I’m in their time zone, willing to treat people as they prefer to be treated, and don’t have a D&D group at the moment. If you guys get a game going, hit me up.

Underutilized meme format, honestly. It can apply to almost anything in daily life circa 2025.

Going meta is always allowed. Just say you’re dumbing it down, that you don’t mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.

Yeah, I’ve messed around with water sensors before. I just thought it would be neat to measure it via stress on the plant itself.
