This is disturbing. I'm in awe at the TSAs complete failure here.


Based on https://github.com/wesbos/aprilFools.css.

I wanted a way to have this kick in on it's own on 04/01 without needing root access. You can type 1 line into bash and install the hole thing.

Do this to someone while they are not looking.

Fire people?


My thoughts exactly.


I noticed that the good old script for removing all gems wasn't working anymore because of default gems, so I made this.


I'm sick of hearing people mix this up.


This seems fitting.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

I had a very heated argument with a friend on saterday about 0 indexed arrays. God damn I hate them.


Just stop using the word index and start using the word offset. Problem solved.

The notion that the first brick in a run has an offset of 0 as does the first upright stud in a frame is something that's been basic to bricklayers and carpenters for a very long time.

Sometimes it's natural to refer to elements by their position, or offset, other times it's natural to talk about sequence numbers or indexes.


They're not indexed. That's an offset.

Naming things. Again.

1 indexed arrays are truly indexed :D


This is why I'm scared to invest too much time into something that isn't directly for my benefit.


Anything you build, however, is to your benefit, as long as you are able to learn from the experience.


True. That's mostly my focus for now. I think a lot of people get stuck trying to do something to big to fast. Great ideas take time to make happen.


Agreed. The only reason I ever started on http://searchco.de/ was because I wanted something I would use on a day to day basis. Because its something I use as part of my daily workflow I still keep adding things modifying and tweaking.

Will it ever go anywhere? Probably not, but that's not the point. If I can get it to the point where it pays for itself I will be happy to keep running it as my forever project. Of course, if someone wants to invest money in it and myself...
