For me it’s less about fear and more about having a limited budget of time and effort to spend on learning things, so CSS and front end generally gets deprioritized. But that’s cuz I’m a back end kinda dev in my soul, lol.

I’ve seen the good points you’ve made elsewhere in this thread - I would indeed react very poorly to willy-nilly back end changes and I think you’re right that people don’t give CSS and visual styling the same degree of professional respect when making changes. And that sucks.

Sounds like a certain lake troll is agitating to improve his lake-dwelling experience, if ya ask me.

So I think I was wrong, but you are too lmao.

10¹²⁰ is the number of valid game-trees, or valid ~80 move games.

The much smaller number I quoted above, though, IS the valid positions, I was thinking it was actually the trimmed down “truly valid” game-tree sequences.

Isn’t math fun? Limitless ways for us to be wrong!

valid chess positions is in the neighborhood of 10⁴⁰ to 10⁴⁴

Lol, big board you’re playing with…

I enjoy and appreciate nature in nearly all its forms. Even mosquitos just tryna live, they’re born required to bite somebody 🤷‍♂️

Fuck the Canada goose.

Fuck em as a group, fuck their whole flocks, fuck a flying V of Canada geese. Fuck em as an entire grand, branching lineage of this strange fractal miracle we call life, get rid of the Canada goose and our timeline returns to the more harmonious path it had been on before everything stopped making sense.

Canada is cool, fuck that goose tho.

Sounds like Copilot pulled their programming socks WAY UP that day

This is hilariously autistic sounding for a machine.
