oh maybe read about 'partner of adhd spouse'

when i read about having an adhd spouse it was comical because all the tough situations they described were just my life and it sounds similar to this. my wife was so overwhelmed she couldn't function and she needed like 10 hours a day of sleep. And she had no idea why until we pieced it together and she got diagnosed.

'balance' definitely part of my complaints though so maybe check it out!

yes, eventually the OS gets reinstalled or I switch computers and i don't do backups so every few years they get purged unread for the most part.

my instance doesn't even have downvotes, couldn't downvote a shitty take even if i wanted to. Which I don't because who cares? If they bother you why not switch to an instance where you can't see em or turn them off in the interface?

when it comes to banging shit out, when you need more juice than bash, perl was capable of some crazy shit. I found it really frustrating trying to learn real programming because I was taught perl extremely thoroughly and for most other languages programming exercises you have to get 3/4ths of the way through the book before you're beyomd what perl can do in a couple of lines.

I eventually learned proper oo programming and compiler languages but there were a few years in the late 90's and the CGI-BIN days where a solid grasp of perl made you feel like a real hacker-ma'am.

As an example I give you the 'flip flop operator', (no idea if perl was the first language to incorporate this, but i saw it there first) which would allow you to parse any data stream, and execute a code block on every line in the data stream between two matching regexes. Absolutely invaluable for screen scraping and would let you hit a URL and extract just the data you needed with about 4 lines of code total, including the library call for the get!

that's the definition of the Turing Test though... what would you say it means if not that? GPT-4 was able to pass it last year.

Since it's based on what a human thinks about the conversation the bar isn't very high.
