Yeah idk. I get what they’re saying completely, but this exact one seems easy. Just do a validation check and throw an error. I mean, it is an IP validator after all. Either support hex or don’t.

Correct, JSON can handle any precision, because it’s just dumped as a string anyway, just not enclosed in the "". However, as you mentioned, as soon as it comes through the parser it’ll put it into an underlying float value. In C# I create a save high precision attribute that will take the value and put it directly into a decimal. In JS I’m sure there’s some way to do that, but that parser is way less extensible compared to C#. However, this also all assumes you know the client will parse it correctly, overriding the default behavior. Safest is to just send it as a string, and then create your parsers to automatically send to and from strings

Until you get to multi currency, which is why I don’t support using ints or longs, and strings are still the only way. There are currencies that have no precision, and others that have 3 or more digits of precision - and then you’re looking at doing calculations each time. Strings are the safest way to make sure you’re representing exactly what you want to when sending data over the wire or persisting

The fun differences between the perfect world of theoretical and the realistic. Everyone thinks of computers as perfect - but it’s not until you’re asked to solve “How do you store decimals using only 0s and 1s?” does it start to click. Not as easy. It’s why I’m hesitant to hire bootcampers into my roles. Bootcamps are great, and they get more people coding, but you don’t learn that theory behind the scenes - you don’t really know what the computer and operating systems are doing. For 90% of the time it doesn’t matter, it’s abstracted away - but that last 10% man, that can really fuck up an entire system.

All of us fintech devs however, know the true horrors. Make everything a string, lest ye end up in precision hell

bingo. Timezones became easier when I learned that all apps and databases should have all times be in UTC. Let the UI do it’s thing and accept local time and convert it, and vis versa.

This is all over a GitHub stars badge? Developers probably want to encourage people to star it. It’s a huge stretch to say they’re trying to track people

You’ve been sitting in the drive through for 10 minutes how do you not know what to order?!

Me, 16 years old, on the other end of the speaker

I know it’s weird here on the fediverse, but I’ve been through it. If you want, DM me anytime, or DM me and I can give my mastodon. Should probably start a community sometime. It’s been good talking to you too!

I wish you luck, but be prepared for anger in response. Just be ready for it. Make it not about the politics but instead the hate, the anger. Hell try to make it about politics but instead make it about the hate. It’s not about Biden or trump, it’s the anger.

I was just thinking yesterday how the rest of the country’s conservatives look at Seattle as a burning liberal hellscape, but we actually have a lot of conservatives here. What do the conservatives here think when fox news says that capital hill is still under riots?

Costs is the key thing. People know it’s nice, so people move here, and costs go up. Expect 2000/month rents, and that’s the low side in some areas

For me it’s useful, depending how it’s implemented. Being able to say “summarize this article” or “summarize this ToS and call out anything that’s anti consumer” is how I use chatgpt

Edgy McEdgerson is checking in!

I’ve never seen HR use data brokers. I would think that could open them to a lot of risk, finding out things that aren’t legal to know about someone before saying yes. All of mine have used actual background check agencies

I appreciate it, and I hope your interactions with your father go better too. I know many many people who take your approach, just avoiding it. There’s no real right or wrong way, because we shouldn’t be in that position in the first place. I hope they stop bringing it up around you and respect your wishes about it.

Re: circles, maybe keeping it personal will help too. Turning off Fox news and sources will help, but my dad sure did shut up when I brought up the people he knew (and I know he liked) that he was talking about. They always go “They’re one of the good ones”, but then the reverse is “These policies effect the good ones too, dad”

For group things I don’t think it’s bonkers. Mostly because that gives everyone time to make sure that specific time to work. Honestly to me that says they really want you to come, I’d be flattered.

For just my SO and me it’s different though. Usually rough idea forms about a year out, with us formalizing and time off about 6 months out, and booking about 3 months out

Because Chrome has already announced they are killing adblockers with manifest V3, and they have been very public about that for years.

Firefox just announced 2 weeks ago they are supporting manifest V2 & V3, and going on to support adblockers.

I used to disagree with you on snap… Until it horribly horribly failed me. No way to revert, I remember reading pages that were essentially “just reinstall your os”. Noooope. Flatpak all the way now.

I’m sorry to hear that. I “lost” my father in the same way. He was always conservative (listened to Rush when I was a kid), but he went from casually conservative to full MAGA radicalized thanks to facebook and modern social media. I went to his facebook a few years back and saw some of the most hateful vitriolic content. I asked him how he could do that to people who helped raise me, that I had both LGBTQ and mixed race teachers, leaders, friends, all of whom have been incredibly important to me. It did not go well. I had to tell him to allow his hate speech would be a disservice to everyone else who had such a profound impact on me, and told him if he loses the hate we can have a relationship again.

That was 6 years ago. Haven’t heard from him since.

I hope your dad is doing better than mine. I’ve seen others confirm what you said, that just cutting out the source will see a return to semi normalcy - the propaganda depends on a constant drip. Just disconnecting them from the feed can have a huge positive impact.

It must be really nice being able to suspend all reality like they can
