tell me the equivalent comment from an outsider with your job

"wow that script was really easy to debug because it had informative error messages"

[-] GreenMartian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago

Somewhat my relationship with the Rust compiler. "I hate you and your stupid rules! ..but that was very informative thank you".

"The function was redundant, but damn it if I didn't understand the intended purpose."

Wow, the disease just stopped killing people!

[-] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago

Oh wow I actually understood what you said

Oh! Is your specialty also communications-based?

I’ve got a degree in scientific and technical communications and what you said is a dream to hear!

Its maths so kinda 😅 the sign of true mastery over a theorem is finding the least convoluted way to prove it.

"Oh wow it can do that? It just worked."

one of the reasons why sharp knives are safer than dull knives generally

though that wisdom is more applicable to cooking

[-] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 weeks ago

I've always thought that dull knives are more dangerous because you have to put a lot more force to cut something, and when it suddenly does, all that force could go wildly.

[-] OboTheHobo@ttrpg.network 22 points 2 weeks ago

That too, honestly thats the more significant reason. Shaper knives give cleaner cuts which heal easier was the point i was making, but yeah the bigger reason is that you have much better control with a sharp knife and need way less force.

Also, a good sharp knife will cut with chopping push down. A less sharp knife requires a slicing move.

It's really hard to cut yourself with a chopping motion .

Not according to my partner's family! I sharpened one of the kitchen knives and was told it was too sharp. I had grown bored of having to saw through onion skins

[-] adrian@50501.chat 14 points 2 weeks ago

Cut myself while grafting after sharpening my knife and got the same compliment.

[-] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

The blade shall keel

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago

A sword shouldn’t be as sharp as a knife though as the edge will nick very easily.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

This happened in an episode of This Old Tony.

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nice sharp knife.. Good present for your mother..

[-] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Almost sliced the tip off my thumb while whittling. Got the same compliment. AND they complimented my pain tolerance, no oxy for me, just some local anaesthetic for the stitches. Little did they know that was just the nerve damage, it's still a bit numb a year later.

[-] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I only use a regular opinel as a knife because of my experience with spring driven ones. I'm not joking the soft blade release and the stop mechanism make me like this thing a lot more than I thought

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

And they cost next to nothing for a good quality knife.

[-] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Simplicity is a big deal with functional tools. I do have a mini swiss knife and I disassembled a cabinet with that, lacking any other tool at the moment, but it has a foul dull blade that isn't a blade. But among foldable knives these are certainly one of the best, yes.
