@Lady slightly curious as to what has you reading up on richard bartle

re: actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction 

@wallhackio oh i wasn't even complaining about that whole bit (which, not really a strong scene but less remarkable imo), more just the like drawn out slow-motion once Helen starts to move toward the Mona Lisa security override after the place is already burning

programming 

oh no because i find python kinda viscerally aesthetically displeasing (woops initially wrote this as literally the opposite)

oh no i kinda really dig the way this python web api framework works

actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction 

the mona lisa burning scene was really tedious tho. like the event itself and the aftermath scene are good payoffs for all the prior setup, but dragging out Helen getting there like that was just annoying. also why didn’t we hear the shield activating for like five minutes beforehand anyway. apparently it was still functioning but like, just not making any noise despite being significantly loud earlier in the film?

popular movie reaction 

glass onion was quite good. it had certain weak points but the second segment of the film was very well done.

@Lady i usually have the problem that by the time i get to a point of being able to tell anybody my memory of the dream has decohered to the point that all i can say is “you were in it” and maybe the vibe of one segment of the dream (but usually the vibe shifts a lot so that’s just be misleading)

food 

i may have found all the (hopefully only two) pieces.

oh no a piece of uncooked pasta fell on the floor and shattered but the floors are wood and the lighting is kinda orange anyway

@Satsuma i don't understand why you would care about 17 when 7 already divides it

why do all the popular javascript frontend approaches to managing state seem so hostile to abstraction

unrelatedly why does leslie fish have such a thing for kipling anyway

@wallhackio i like “fremd” (which i learned thru @Lady’s influence). whither/hither/thither and whence/hence/thence are kinna basic but, properly used, they are underrated i think

programming 

@Lady i could just test it but if they don't document it how do i know it's intentional that i can count on it >.>

programming 

imo js libraries should document unambiguously whether the methods they describe return values as supporting actually have to be invoked as methods on the return value or can be used as functions

programming 

surprisingly not even a we-don't-pay-attention-to-firefox-support bug. it happens on chrome too.

i think if your front-end JS framework's documentation website don't manage to respond to navigation by putting me at the top of the new page instead of whatever scroll-position i was at in the previous page, that is maybe an indication i should ignore your front-end JS framework.

@gaditb well now i’m glad you missed that bit. tho idk whether i’ll be able to get my hands on Yidl Mitn Fidl hehe
