Okay, maybe it won’t be my first port of call then.

Are you talking about exoplanets, or the “just admit that every round solid object in space is a planet and there are a lot more than nine in the solar system” planets?

Okay, thanks for the heads up.

A quick search found this: https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracKanbanBoardMacro

Looks like there are others too, I’ll play around and see what works for me.

Okay, I wasn’t able to review your links before so I just focussed on answering your question.

Trac looks the most promising of everything I’ve seen so far, I like that it’s minimal and also does basically everything I’m looking for in one place. I’ll give it a try first.

Thanks so much!

Okay, I’m looking into that, thanks. The closed-core model is a little concerning for me - one of the things I hate about the proprietary stuff is all the gatekeeping you have to deal with, but if the other possibilities don’t pan out I’ll consider it.

Oh good question. I’m using it for personal software development, tracking new features, bugs and documenting my research.

I mostly use the kanban board view. I’ve wanted to add Confluence documentation pages but didn’t want to pay.

I’ll also be developing hardware soon.

That comment is basically a whole Bill Wurtz song.

Yup, no worries, i just appreciate the way he does things and wanted to share the info :)

Just fyi, Randall who makes xkcd has a very permissive approach and offers hotlinks on the site for easy embedding. I think he prefers that you hotlink rather than reupload.

It’s been used successfully by former abductees for 25 years.

Yeah, that’s absolutely fair, and it’s a bit snobby of me to get all up in arms about forgetting a formula - although it is high school level where I live. But to be handed the formula, informed that there’s an issue and still not fix it is the really hard part to wrap my head around, given it’s such a basic formula.

I guess I’m also remembering someone I knew who got a programming job off the back of someone else’s portfolio, who absolutely couldn’t program to save their life and revealed that to me in a glaring way when I was trying to help them out. It just makes me think of that study that was done that suggested that there might be a “programmer brain” that you either have or you don’t. They ended up costing that company a lot to my knowledge.

I’m really unsure if why or how is my bigger question.

Yup, in another thread about the planes there’s nothing but assholes griping about stonehenge.

Almost like defacing art is actually the more effective type of protest.

And electronics hobbyists!

They’re also saying they support activism so little that they needed chatgpt to come up with an answer for them. Almost like they don’t support any progressive movements, they don’t care about the effectiveness of the methods and they’re just here to attack climate protestors.

Wait wait wait so… this person forgot the pythagorean theorem?

Like that is the most basic task. It’s d = sqrt((x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2), right?

That was off the top of my head, this person didn’t understand that? Do I get a job now?

I have seen a lot of programmers talk about how much time it saves them. It’s entirely possible it makes them very fast at making garbage code. One thing I’ve known for a long time is that understanding code is much harder than writing it, and so asking an LLM to generate your code sounds like it’s just creating harder work for you, unless you don’t care about getting it right.

I just love that the “law enforcement decreased” line didn’t change.

It’s just always applicable.

Isildur, push up the icecream!

No.

ISILDUUUUUURRR

I mean if I really need onions on a mcchicken I can still order at the front but then I have to deal with trying to get my specialty order across, which is even more hassle. Mainly I want no salt on my fries and no sauce on my burger.

Trust me, you don’t need that shit. Melted cheese is good sauce and the residual salt in the fries tray is plenty, and you’ll get fresh fries every time.

The point of the state is to maintain one class’s domination over others, violence is just the means to achieving that. It’s not a good thing.

And not all armed resistance takes the form of open warfare.

Under a strong state one viable way of resisting the state is community defense. For instance the Black Panthers began open carrying to observe police doing traffic stops, because black men kept getting killed (edit: of course we know they still are).

The state’s response was weapons bans. That ban targetted the Black Panthers and was selectively enforced against them. This is where California got its reputation for banning guns. It was the state maintaining its ability to oppress people along class and racial lines.
