I really liked unless in perl; especially as I get older !length or something makes that bang really easy to miss. I use !(length) or something instead to visually set it aside. unless made this much more visually clear.

*To-day

Not very orbital, then, is it. Jokes aside, rocketry is hard and I hope they gained the data to make it work next time.

Living in eastern Japan for a decade, I don’t miss changing the clocks and the misery around that time. I do wish east Japan would move by an hour, though; before 4am sunrises (getting light from 3-something) and dark before 5pm in the winter sucks.

But if you consume data from something not in utc and need to get it there, there is still room for bugs.

I changed our systems a previous job to store all in utc and got made to put it back to jst (Japan). That was … Fun

This is me. We had a public holiday the other day and, since the weather wasn’t great, I decided to start a new project to write code because I enjoy it. Also, Twitch’s event/API documentation does not spark joy (weird grammar like “one of the following” what looks like a partially deleted line; response/requests that are in tables aligned by a number (only two, so good luck people like me) spaces to indicate level, and just plain wrong and missing info (“this API responds 202” – LIAR!).

Except when the government is immune to this and passes things off as real since it isn’t marked as AI.

Might have been microwave link. We had those as part of our disaster recovery at a few places I worked.

Do it! I certainly won’t complain about the potential added bonus of becoming an EU citizen.

I found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).

Maybe I’m old and proud, definitely I’m concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don’t fully understand) is just begging for trouble.
