Code that does not work is just text.

I’ve never thought of it that way. I’m going to add copy writer to my resume.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 4 weeks ago

Maybe fiction writer as well

This made me laugh so hard one of the dogs came to check in on me.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Oh my goodness, that's adorable and sweet of your dog! Also, I'm so glad you had such a big laugh. I love when that happens.

He’s a sweet guy. … Mostly. Very much in need of a lot of attention. Sometimes he just sits next to you on the couch and puts his paw on you if you’re not giving him enough attention.

Here he is posing with his sister as a prop:

Oh my goodness, he sounds precious! I've had a sweet and needy dog like that in the past, too. It can be a lot, but I loved it (and miss it,) haha.

Both your dogs are very cute! You and your pups gave me a much-needed smile. Thank you for that. :) Please give them some pets from me!

No the spell just fizzled. In my experience it happens far less often if you start with an Abra kabara and end it with an Alakazam!

Yeah, the Abra kabara init and Alakazam cleanup are an important part, specially until you have become good enough to configure your own init.


There is an alternative init, Abra Kadabra, which automatically adds a cleanup and some general fixes when it detects the end of the spell.

Conversely, code that works is also text

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago

But working code can be made into numbers.

But numbers are also text

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

But not just text

Also that's not converse to what the parent comment said

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Did you want to converse about conversing?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Code that works is also just text.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

It is text, but not just text

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Text that's not code might also work.
