@gabek Golang has some neat tricks, but it's drudgery. Perl was fun. :)

@firetotheprisons when my grandmother died, my parents started renting out her house to an elderly woman who can’t afford to buy that house, at below market rate, while going way out of their way on maintenance of the property. They’re losing money renting that house. What would you have them do differently?

I agree with you that my parents are not typical landlords.

TFW your brain thinks you'd rather be unemployed than write another 200 lines of Golang scattered all over the place just to get explicit JSON 0 into a Pg numeric(16,2) field.

You know, because you need custom types just to store explicit 0 vs field not provided in input.

God I miss Perl. Where 99% of the time Perl just DWIM'd and I could actually code business logic instead of fighting explicit types for a living.

I swear to Dog Golang, tell me one more time that 100 variations of cascading nil isn't nil. See what happens.

Yes, I'm sure YOUR Golang code is beautiful. Golang is dead simple, I'm a moron. I agree with you. j f c on a cracker

@silverwizard A couple years ago I was delighted to be in “code freeze” because the exception process was faster than the normal workflow, so we pushed more code than ever. ?

@silverwizard it's new and improved for your convenience tho ;)

@silverwizard the minimum wage should be a living wage. Housing, food, clothing, medical, education.

But NYC and SF are waaaay more out of whack than Omaha, Nebraska where I live. So a federal minimum wage based on NYC would be propping up those insane housing valuations, further enriching those landowners. Those valuations, rent prices should collapse.

I think some version of this formula could work. But locally, not nationally. Punish Omaha’s city council and mayor for not building enough affordable housing here. Don’t try to punish Omaha for NYC’s insanity. We can’t possibly afford that.

I support increasing the minimum wage, but should a national baseline be tied to the cost of a tiny studio apartment where rent is highest? I’m sitting in a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house “in the woods” and my cost of housing is lower than this: https://universeodon.com/@LadyDragonfly/109853277664537670

@lain :)
I’m on the tequila diet.
I’ve lost 2 days so far.

@hypolite @silverwizard ya, it was filmed years ago, right? I watched S1 a while ago, S2 wasn’t out yet. Amazed at the mix of brave/stupid and over/under hype. :)
