I have not heard "snapping their fingers menacingly" since I heard a description of West Side Story. Pleased to come across it again, this is going to make me actually check out the trailer now
I also don't generally use Python as my primary language, but NumPy has pretty good docs in my opinion!
When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my "kids these days" moment.
Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren't trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that's what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.
How do I get better at understanding API docs without a tutorial to walk me through the basics of how the library works in the first place? Once I have an idea of some of what the library does and how a few commonly-used functions work I can somewhat handle the rest, but getting to that point in the first place is pretty hard for me if no getting started or tutorial section exists. And so I'm very intimidated by a lot of libraries…
According to Wikipedia, Biblical scholars essentially agree with you, to the point
Bible scholars even maintain that the Bible does not claim that masturbation would be sinful.
which is pretty cool especially given my prior belief that most people agreed it was about lust. Wikipedia does also say that some Christian denominations have interpreted the sin to be as lust, though.
And Catholicism, at least, still doesn't like the ejaculation without procreation:
Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who in exercising it deliberately frustrate its natural power and purpose sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.
Small wonder, therefore, if Holy Writ bears witness that the Divine Majesty regards with greatest detestation this horrible crime and at times has punished it with death. As St. Augustine notes, "Intercourse even with one's legitimate wife is unlawful and wicked where the conception of the offspring is prevented. Onan, the son of Juda, did this and the Lord killed him for it."
(number 54 and 55 in a Pope Pius XI encyclical)
(I never thought I'd be discussing religion on programming.dev lol)
I get your point, but considering that we got the word "Onanism" from the Bible I was thinking about some Christian denominations' views of why God wasn't happy with Onan in the Bible: because he ejaculated without trying to procreate. That is why I thought it was relevant to tie those two things together like that.
I figured it would look more professional, and it would also let me separate the contributions I made with my more anonymous GitHub out—not too sure how closely they investigate your previous contributions and how good your code was.
I am guessing this was not a good choice, and I should have just continued using my more anonymous GitHub, or made the account as JSmith instead of JaneSmith.
I figure it is called that because both the pull-out method and masturbation for penis-havers involves spilling your seed somewhere outside of a woman's womb.
oh god I always read JSON like "J" + "son", "son" being like a Spanish word for "to be". Or "J" + "sewn". I can't believe I've never read it like the human name "Jason".
you’re they type to micro commit
Thanks for a much shorter and better way to explain this tendency of mine and why I rebase a lot, yoinking this phrase.
I literally just posted this in !software_gore@programming.dev because they had the same energy so I found it on the original Reddit post remembered this one too. Great minds think alike?
"Dear Mr. Architect!" is such a charming start to the letter, sort of getting "kid's letter to Santa" vibes if the kid dreamed of being an architect.
Too bad the rest of the letter isn't quite as charming :P
Shamelessly stolen from a Reddit post that made me laugh when I randomly remembered it today. Figured it was worth reposting to Lemmy if I laughed upon remembering it and not just upon first sight.

- I can easily bend in half and reach past my toes, but this is another ask entirely.
- Even if I could do this, I don't have eyes in my back or a computer screen in my knees.

YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox and Edge than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome. You can restore YouTube's faster pre-Polymer design with this Firefox extension: https://t.co/F5uEn3iMLR

According to that article,
Google Chrome ads started appearing next to Firefox search terms. Gmail & [Google] Docs started to experience selective performance issues and bugs on Firefox. Demo sites would falsely block Firefox as 'incompatible'
while Firefox was still a Google search partner.
EDIT: Did not realize how long ago this post was made, whoops.
