  • Now I’m feeling called out. I keep having these stacks of if statements that could just be a big ass list of and and and, but then it runs into the debate of how much crap should be in one line of code? Especially knowing, at some point, it’s going to be my dumb ass stepping through trying to figure out why this one edge case is the reason we’re not hitting the inner code.





  • It turns out the specialized medical needs are kind of special, and they fly people to where there are facilities when they’re needed. And only affects a special portion of the population. For everyone else it doesn’t matter.

    For fuck sake people crossed the entire US in a god damn wagon while risking being shot at by random tribes and eaten by bears. What’s stopping people now is that they can’t afford food or a place to park the damn wagon without getting harassed by the cops.

    Moving to more rural areas is what causes rural areas to build hospitals, and doctors to open clinics and offices. There are plenty of jobs everywhere that just involve sitting on your ass in front of a screen, or standing behind a counter. Even in rural areas.

    Growth doesn’t just happen. People have to go places and build. UBI would make that process a shit ton easier.




  • I dunno, why would anyone be frustrated by having everything labeled with an incomprehensible acronym and an entirely unique and often vague directory structure with a stringent yet useless file level security?

    Linux is amazing for it’s ability to be customized. That comes with a cost in on ramping new users. Hell, I’m an old user, and what I know is half useless because it’s so old. The end result is that I use linux to run a raspberry pi that shares out instrument data. And that’s all it does. It’s not a desktop, it’s a tool that does a thing. It does that one thing reasonably well, and I don’t have to screw with it. Because I never update it, never connect it to the internet, never install new things. Until I make a new one to do a new thing.

    Honestly I have no idea why anyone would want a linux desktop for daily use. It’s nice to have an environment to set up the device for what it’s going to be doing. But beyond that, it’s usually not even going to have a monitor attached to it.
