I remember somewhere they were saying you should remove your clothes (slowly piece by piece) with a polar bear. The bear will get distracted and start sniffing your clothes.
I think it was a QI episode and then David Mitchell said something like that Polar Bear being happier in the fact that the human would be better to eat this time because it didn’t have a wrapper.
I started with C++ and went to Java to .NET to Javascript and now to Terraform.
I know this is all a joke but there’s something definitely different with the ones above and the ones below. There’s a bit of satisfaction you can get sometimes when you’re working with memory directly and getting faster feedback (yes, there’s more math back then and it wasn’t easy to look stuff up, for sure). However, there’s new challenges nowadays … there’s so many layers on top of layers. I feel as though Stack Overflow and ChatGPT are so needed because the error messages and things we give are obfuscated or unclear (not always any library author’s fault as there’s compatibility issues, etc)
We’re doing serverless stuff at my current company and none of our devs run code locally. They have to upload it using CDK or Serverless Framework to run on the cloud. We don’t use SST so we can’t set breakpoints but like that’s a lot of crap inbetween just running your code already. Not even getting into the libraries and transpilers and stuff we use. I spent like a few weeks over Christmas to get our devs to run the code locally. Guess what? None of them use it because they’re so use to uploading it. I was like, "you can put breakpoints in it! you can have nodemon and it instant reloads! nope, none of them care … "
Brianna Wu
Never known anything but I have seen the name. So I’ve skimmed her Wikipedia just now. So she was harassed during GamerGate. Is Pro-Israel and claims the left is letting down their Jewish allies. Had a few congressional bids.
Oh, I see her with something with Cenk and Rebellion PAC. Not gonna lie, I gave up on Cenk ages ago and it seems things haven’t gotten much better for him (especially lately with him and Ana apparently attacking the left?).
I’ve probably skimmed too fast but what specifically are you referring to? I see she didn’t get a full degree from the University of Mississippi.
Yeah there’s something to that. Like I feel as though we should always be doing stuff but not what it is that we’re currently doing?
Like, we should be waking up and having tea with our neighbors or helping out in our communities and stuff … perhaps just building, planting, fixing things that we’d like? I don’t feel as though we should be fighting deadlines constantly.
I think XKCD is a good example of this.
I remember growing up in the UK and Disneyland or Disney world was always a bit of a joke about giving loads of offers but no takers.
Then again, it wasn’t until I met Americans growing up did I realize how seriously they took Thanksgiving too.
US Senator apparently went there and was refused entry and everything.
Republican fanboys are calling it a political stunt.
It wouldn’t be anything if they didn’t fuck up to begin with.
I remember being in uni when George W got elected the first time. I recall my uni friends were saying there’s no point taxing the rich because they’ll always find another loop hole. I guess we should realize they’d never stop. They’re never like, “hmm that’s enough”.
You only say that because you don’t see what they’re doing behind the scenes.
For example, they’re putting lots of money into think tanks to dissuade the public from even talking about taxing the rich: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rQg24dralYY
I was one of the people that didn’t understand the decentralization until Reddit went pure enshittification and I had to get used to it. I know it’s not so bad but it’s just a UX thing.
I’m here now, so it turns out to be nothing but it can be confusing to users if it isn’t clear what’s going on.
Yeah but imagine if a black woman had done it. We’d need to question her abilities as a black woman and call it woke and stuff. /s
No, those penguins have been taking advantage of US trade for too long!
I still don’t like saying how they’re both the same because I fundamentally don’t believe that to my core (ie if they had all three branches we wouldn’t be talking about all this current mayhem).
However, I think I understand your point and I agree with it.
So thanks again!
Thanks for replying, I just recalled this:
Now we can say he failed but I can’t say that specific act is evil. Palestine on the other hand … ☠️
Like, I get your viewpoints and you guys think I’m trying to bury any negative viewpoints of the democratic party or that I’m brainwashed. Which is funny to me because I hate the establishment Dems. I just think posts saying both suck and attacking the Dems aren’t helpful because they currently have no power. The other party is causing a lot of damage and there seems to be no stopping them so kicking the feckless Dems when they’re down seems weird to me.
I also think the democratic party needs to be ousted by progressive candidates that have a good vision for the future. I’m not gonna lie though I don’t see it happening. The establishment Dems aren’t gonna bow down. Also, I see so many protests happening and although AOC and Bernie have made the news I don’t think I see the Dem leadership taking advantage of this and putting up a solid front either, like wtf is going on? I’m not sure it’s the coverage but it really seems like they’re lost.
I remember those geese when I went to UW.
My friend told me his roommate tried to kick one of those geese and got chased by an entire flock into a building. I eventually met that roommate of his and he was a real dick.
Fox News too. Bartoromo(sp?), Giuliani and others were trying hard to sort their lies out and was all exposed during their Dominion lawsuit which they settled for a lot of money.
lazygit is pretty cool too.
You’re free to be wrong.
As are you.
Have a pleasant day! (no sarcasm)
Yeah, I’m not in any way medically anything but I think I remember Dr Mike or one of those talking about how brain death is considered death or something like that.
