@porsupah I haven't used 1Password (personally I'm happy with a local repository), but this seems pretty good as a way of planning for data leaks on their end. https://support.1password.com/secret-key-security/

@recursive That sounds a bit too vague to me?

Is there a name for the stage of maturity/complexity where making a change to fix an individual bug introduces an average of at least 1 other bug, so making progress requires careful review by a knowledgeable maintainer, and a thorough test suite that gets updated to verify the bugfixes (and therefore prevent the same bug from coming back)?

@minego The only other idea I have is joining a different religion and then just responding with "that would be against my religion" and explaining its viewpoint in detail if pressed.

@minego Do you have to answer them?

Gonna start by posting some recent "Riveting Tales" comics.
I started these as a creative playground without many rules, where I can draw anything.

As another xennial who was burned by the demise of LJ and later twitter, this is a wonderful rant... https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start
both were the only social media I ever had multiple accounts on... they were in a sense a home for multiple facets of myself.

Giving a new developer the grand tour of the legacy code i’m supporting.
Huh. If you favorite a post, and someone replied since you loaded it, the number is updated.

How to have a "beach body":
1) You're already 70% water, which is a good start
2) Replace the other 30% with sand

Me: Yay
That tutorial* makes me seriously tempted to create an instance. But I'm sure if someone recruits me to help with theirs, that'll cure it.

Tried some "normal" toothpaste because I'm visiting family and taking toothpaste with me is a hassle, and WOW no wonder I neglected my teeth growing up. #autism
@hollie If I see a "1" or "1+" by the reply button, I'll usually click if interested. That feels like enough to me.

"You do math? You must be good with numbers"
"Oh no, the kind of math I do is different, I don't have to be good with numbers"
"What kind of math do you do?"

@b0rk Reducing side-effects, complexity of interfaces between components, and multi-threaded components will reduce the odds of those issues and make them easier to debug.
If you don't have side-effects, and you're using RNG to test possible inputs, you can test *every* input from a single state, before advancing to the next one using a random input.
If your environment supports it, async/await helps a lot with building single-threaded code when you might otherwise need multiple threads.
