New patient intake form Q: At what ages did your child start [crawling, sitting upright, walking, talking, pointing, singing, jumping]: _____ (sobbing) please tell me which of these are actually clinically relevant for a healthy 4 year old's lisp, I have the memory of a goldfish

using foo = someFunc(); const [bar, ...rest] = someArray; ~Everyone agrees that exactly one of 'foo' and 'bar' are "implicitly used" and shouldn't be flagged as an "unused local", but it's a 50/50 mix as to which is which

A very funny outcome of RCV-IR is that "Get everyone to rank Cuomo #2" is (if implemented) equally effective as "No one ranks Cuomo at all" at making sure he's not elected

> This hamburger doesn't have cheese on it < Right, if you want that, you can order a cheeseburger > Well if you knew that was the fix, why didn't it just have cheese on it in the first place?

Additional context: one day you'll be walking around normally and your ankle will decide to stop working for no apparent reason

We need Pew Research to poll how many Americans believe that left, liberal, and Democrat are just synonyms of each other. 80%? 90%? Higher?

Underrated part of having kids: experiencing social anxiety by proxy as you wonder if anyone is going to RSVP and/or show up to their birthday party

I brought my dog into a local vet that had a big "WE ONLY TREAT CATS" sign on the door and asked them for a quick checkup. They didn't even _consider_ how good of a boy he was, and only said "This is not a cat, we only treat cats here, there's even a sign" Extremely rude behavior to not even try??

A) Your own record label that signs every artist you like at 10x their current pay B) Drive the Washington Post into the ground I'm picking A every time

My wife thought AM and PM stood for "after midnight" and "pre midnight"

I lived two blocks from CHAZ and the biggest impact it had on my life is when I had to ask a police officer if it was OK to go through the barricade so I could get to my dentist's office Meanwhile my relatives in Ohio were calling to ask if I was still alive

I went five rounds with the AI today trying to convince it that it can't demonstrate that a bug fix works if the testcase passes both before and after the proposed change

> Hey, the #1 problem with TypeScript is that it's too slow < Yeah you're right, we will do something drastic to make it 10x faster [one single day passes] > Hey, you should spend all that perf you got on adding features, the #1 problem with TypeScript is that it doesn't have enough features

The Onion: Point/Counterpoint I will send the army after you (Trump) vs Yes, he will (Harris)

Major downside of being born in '82: When you're buying beer at the self-checkout, the clerk will skip checking your ID and just key in the year you graduated high school instead

It's very easy to end up with RCV-IR slates where you absolutely do have to vote with viability in mind

Willingly exposing my eyes to Elon Musk's tweets for the first time ever

When are two types in TypeScript "equal"? 1. Types are equal when they're the same 1a. They're the same when 1b. Okay well listen. Same is when they're not different 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. like A & B != B &A, but A | B is like B | A except, 1c-b. so A & (B | C) means A & B | A & C, sometimes,

text-overflow: ellipsis;

Somehow reminded of the tucows logo

Me: Ehhh I really don't think I need type safety here. I only have to get this call right once. It'll be fine. Code reviewer: Hey why is this output wrong?

Do you worship the Old Gods (equinox, solstice) or the New Gods (reversing the ceiling fan, smoke alarm batteries)?

"This commandline flag clearly has the wrong default value, look at all the people saying it should be the other way"
