Personal question: are you a bot?


Ah, so a propagandist with a predefined narrative.

It's just that your account is very new and you have exactly one opinion and it's dumb

This feels like the "technically it's hebephilia" argument in that drawing the distinction just makes your argument weaker for regular people.

Did you mean the Lone Pine?

You space bastard! You killed my pine!

I always stop to ask myself, "but did I?" Usually I haven't, and that takes the edge off for me


AR-15


I know this wasn't your point (and I agree with you here), but I heard the exact same thing, word for word, when the Catholic priest was just breaking.


I've had trouble reading these from more than a few feet away, but I concede that I have no idea what I'm doing


Let's agree to disagree


lol

Let's go a step further and just iterate through them on the client. I plan on having this phone well past the heat death of the universe, so this is guaranteed to finish on my hardware.

  function* uuidIterator() {
   const bytes = new Uint8Array(16); 
   while (true) {
     yield formatUUID(bytes);

     let carry = 1;
     for (let i = 15; i >= 0 && carry; i--) {
       const sum = bytes[i] + carry;
       bytes[i] = sum & 0xff;
       carry = sum > 0xff ? 1 : 0;
     }
 
     if (carry) return;
   }
 }
 
 function formatUUID(b) {
   const hex = [...b].map(x => x.toString(16).padStart(2, "0"));
   return (
     hex.slice(0, 4).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(4, 6).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(6, 8).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(8, 10).join("") + "-" +
     hex.slice(10, 16).join("")
   );
 }
This is free. Feel free to use it in production.


What license is this? Company policy says we can't use Apache licensed stuff.

Sometimes when the politics deeply affects you, you just need a little break from it.


That's fine, it's also different from what was said


You can't take a break from that. I have transgender friends who fear for their life every day. They don't know what is going to happen to their rights or their healthcare. I have diabetic friends who can't work and also fear for their life because losing Medicaid would mean they will stop being able to afford insulin and will die. This is what people mean when they talk about politics being important. It's not just things that don't affect you, which is what most people mean when they say they don't care about politics. As soon as something affects you, you will understand.


And if all you do all day is worry about someone else's or your own problems and politics you will not survive. Everyone has problems. Every single person has an issue that could cause them to die or a political event that could cause them harm. Your friends are not special or unique. There are billions of people who don't know if they will have food for their next meal, don't have money to pay rent, struggle with an addiction, etc.

It's okay to watch a show about knights and demons and enjoy it. It's okay to use a piece of software that doesn't code every release as a protest against something. Instead of judging other people for not burning out, maybe take a break yourself. It's okay and normal.
