it does in a way that’s been reviewed, vetted and tested by a lot of people the thing that I’m trying to do with code that’s only ever been seen by me and one other guy and has been tested to this best of my ability, which i hope is quite good but one person can easily miss edge cases and weird coincidences.

at the resolution of clock drift in milliseconds when I’m running reports that are, at most, only specific to the day?

i don’t even care if its wrong, I just want the code to be readable.

I just spent two days debugging a reporting endpoint that takes in two MM-YYYY parameters and tries to pull info between the first day of the month for param1 and the last day of the month for param2 and ended up having to set my date boundaries as

LocalDate startDate = new LocalDate(1, param1.getMonth(), param2.getYear()); //pretty straightforward, right?

//bump month by one, account for rollover, set endDate to the first of that month, then subtract one day

int endMonth = param2.month == 12 ? param2.month + 1 : 1;

LocalDate endDate = new LocalDate(1, endMonth, param2.year).minusDays(1);

This is extraordinarily simply for humans to understand intuitively, but to code it requires accounting for a bunch of backward edge/corner case garbage. The answer, of course, is to train humans to think in Unix epoch time.

Wait, when is Bonus Beer Night this year?

reverendsteveii , to Men's Liberation in Study suggest men refuse to ditch meat because it threatens their masculinity

Just remember that when everyone else has a problem with you, it’s everyone else that has the problem.

reverendsteveii , (edited ) to Men's Liberation in Study suggest men refuse to ditch meat because it threatens their masculinity

can anyone tell me what there is to downvote

  1. meat isn’t “95% of the world’s food options”
  2. there is great veg food all over the place, failure to find is a failure to look
  3. you’re framing the choice as to whether to eat meat as some externally imposed thing when it’s simply not. Choosing from among your options doesn’t ‘threaten’ the options you didn’t choose
  4. your tone is just generally gross and defensive

I’m an omnivore too, but your arguments sound less like you considered the possibilities, rationally thought your way through to the best option then selected it, and more like you picked something and then tried to rationalize your way backward through the arguments to the options.

Edit: oooooh nothing like asking for feedback and then getting pissy when you get it.

Depends on your audience. Potential employees will hate RTO and fear bad financial news, customers likely won’t care about either, shareholders don’t really care about RTO but will jump ship with bad financial news

Then die.

reverendsteveii , to Politics in The Wisconsin plan to overturn an election

The fact that they repeatedly use the word trial here would normally present an interesting legal conundrum, as the impeached judge would have a constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial. Unfortunately the supreme court would likely end up ruling on what that means, and they’re openly and blatantly corrupt so I don’t expect their ruling to have anything to do with either the facts or the law.

I do not volunteer to be sacrificed for your ideological purity.

This. Fuck a liberal but at Dem rallies no one chants about how I should be murdered.
