  Survivorship bias, I think

  Works great for db:seed, too

  If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.

  Speaking of sci fi, Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312 does a really good job of incorporating the existential dread and lurking horror of weaponized orbital mechanics.

  I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What If: No Social Media Anonymity⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don’t have a link, and I’m not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there’s something to that.

  On Castle, no less.

  Questionable! There was the whole thing when Jessica Walter spoke out about Jeffery Tambor that was very disappointing.

  This thread is really alarming if you’re like me and got Patrick Bateman confused with Jason Bateman

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Perchance.org count as coding/programming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From the welcome page

  my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve

  Seems like it worked!

  I do web dev on a daily basis, and I tend to think of HTML as “formatted” data.

  A database has data in it, but it’s in a format of columns and rows, like a spreadsheet.

  My application fetches that raw data and uses code to manipulate it - it can inspect it, rewrite it, combine it with other data from other places, validate it against rules - all sorts of stuff.

  Since my app is a web app, all that code is designed to use the data formatted in columns and rows from the database, and use it to generate new data in HTML format to send to the browser.

  Technically, writing HTML for a browser is a form of programming - it’s a set of instructions that tell the browser how to display the data in the HTML. It’s not considered programming in a professional sense, though, as HTML doesn’t get, send, change, or process data. Its purpose is as a format for data to be sent and read by something else (the browser).

  Seconded. I’m a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A remote Air Force base in Alaska is getting its own nuclear reactor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is literally what it is :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Burn Notice" worth watching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus a classic transformation into a found family narrative, mind you. That part is fun, if found families are your thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if it’s one per extremity. Like running around on your middle fingers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.

  Airbags

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always felt it doesn’t solve the problem people think it’s solving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I’m still watching the opening sequence of motion picture, I’ll let you know what I think when it’s done.

  /snark

  But for real, I feel like the last season of Picard was finally a chance to see the TNG TV characters in action in a TNG movie.

  Funniest for me is Starship Mine, for several reasons.
