Bossett: So turns out I don't have object permanence because my IDE updated sometime in the last week, reset all my window locations, and now I've forgotten python.

So turns out I don't have object permanence because my IDE updated sometime in the last week, reset all my window locations, and now I've forgotten python.

Nobody ever “knows” python lets be real

nobody knows python because everyone has undergone the mortifying ordeal of writing python

I had a Perl job for a bit under 3 years. I’ve seen things.

you too huh it can all be so much worse

Perl is so much better than python though ✨

What do you have against python that Perl is so much better for? Python has such a massive user base and massive varieties of well maintained packages.

Nobody ever knows Python, Nobody ships anything in Rust, Ruby will have an answer in 30m, Javascript is internet nepo baby, C leaked its response early, Rust is still unwrapping like its got christmas presents, Nobody can tell if it's did or did ( bsky.app/profile/hail... )

did you get the did or did you need me to send you the did? i didnt send the did yet so.

yeah, nah. That is atrociously sloppy, and that's coming from a partial-Rust guy.

sometimes I wonder if any of this stuff actually works or if people are just humouring us

Oh it’s really easy, first you have to figure out which of the 17 versions you have installed is the right one…

My steam deck dock has a similar problem, it won’t notice its most recent available updates no matter how I try to get it to

Perl for the win!

Our recent company wide rollout of the latest version of intellij somehow wiped everyone's configurations. I'd been using that same idea installation for a decade. And they didn't backup the settings. I was basically useless for two weeks.

Relatable.
