God has no hand in programming. He's just as confused as us.

I am a better programmer than God, peace be upon Him. This implementation of knees is Exhibit 1.

[–] Beanie@programming.dev 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

ok but real talk, knees are genuinely one of the most marvellous pieces of biomechanical engineering. They can withstand decades of constant movement, can allow extension (with a lot of force) even when bent 180°, can withstand - and move - hundreds of kg per knee (with enough practice) periodically also for decades, and can comfortably remain with your entire body weight resting on them at any angle from 0 to 180° for any length of time. It's amazing that everyone doesn't have constant knee pain or have their knees simply fail altogether.

It's just that sometimes they don't respond to input.

As a representative of those who have had a constant knee pain for over a decade: I'm slightly less thrilled about the design.

Oh there's definitely some elder gods involved with programming when I do it.

User Feedback, the Crawling Chaos, the Haunter of the Dark... I feel its tendrils of madness reaching for my mind even now. I am not ready for this. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh caffeine R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! Iä! Iä!

I thought mine was funny because I had not seen that, and I am humbled. Damn. Fukken saved.

[–] wfh@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

Look at how shitty our implementation is. We need a full refactoring.

He still doesn't understand how we got the rock to think

You have to etch them with Eldritch potions on the mystical and long-lost island of Ti-wo-ann.
