Moose-mousse - Electronic Moose

I've been learning to code at my new job and I work with a senior software engineer, who's a genius at this sort of thing.

But like an hour ago, he was in my office angrily murmuring, "what?! what?! what the hell?" over and over again as he furiously typed on my keyboard, trying to fix something in git.

and it's honestly very reassuring to know.

that whether you're a novice or an expert at coding... sometimes you just find yourself angrily swearing at the program for showing you the same error message a dozen times, asking why are you doing that, almost begging, really.

it was actually kinda funny, he sounded like he was about to start crying, which was literally me, two hours ago, when I initially asked him for help.

it's part of the human condition, I think, wrestling with computer programs and furiously typing in commands, only to be met with defiance.

That is REALLY neat!!

you would not believe the amount of joy it brings me to have pretty errors. I'm insane I'm losing my mind I spent at least a dozen hours on this. but LOOK!!!!

these are all auto generated!! all I did was *describe* the syntax of json with a formal grammar and this is what I get from that. I could now make ANY custom syntax and get these beautiful errors 🤤

I am very sorry :c

Only helpful thing I have is "Try to make the best of it"

Python IS useful language. Often testing is done in python.

But I know the feeling from when I learned Kotlin... Do not like that language...

The thing that sucks hardest on the entire planet is being a good programmer, who is just fucking blowing it with this fucking python test. BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT WROTE MEMORIZATION! Being a developer isn't about memorization, it's about solving problems. Memorization is for google!

But I am gonna be 350 dollars in the hole for a certification for a language I will get no use out of. And that I don't even like writing in.

But I am getting some money for doing this so doing it I shall.

Nuclear costs far far far more than any other green energy production. And that is without calculating storage of the waste in. Because our plan for how to store it is: " We do not have any", so we cannot budget it, exept "SUPER expensive"

We have so far build 0 long term storage facilities for nuclear fuel. We store 100% of all nuclear waste ever produced in temporary storages.

Why would you use lithium batteries for grid storage? Lithium batteries are good because of their weight to storage ratio, which does not matter for grid storage.

If you build ONLY wind power, you would need to produce many times more power than your peak need in order to make sure to produce enough for when the wind is not blowing much in large area... and it would STILL be cheaper than nuclear. And we are NOT doing that. We are mixing every kind of renewable, combined with harvested hydrogen.

Nuclear power plants exist to produce neclear material for weapons. That is why governments are willing to pay more money for less power. Nothing more.

its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will  be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,
