Only my daughter goes to fireworks out of all my kids. I always make sure to remind her and everyone else we are with that even though they are enjoyable they distress the fuck out of wildlife and result in many deaths. Yes, they’re cool AF but think if aliens came here tomorrow. It’s no different than us going WTF at people firing AKs into the sky at a wedding. Only difference is the pretty colours and the method of firing. We are such a destructive species.

How you got not RTJ?!

Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls

Best album but their best song will always be Dreamcrusher off of Time Stands Still!

SKISSUE says chat lol

1. Crush your enemies
2. See them driven before you
3. Hear the lamentations of their women

And AMD won the console wars

That asshat Netanyahu already condemned the UN as, and I’m paraphrasing “full of anti-Semites”

Seriously there is rot in the Israeli government and it is making Jews around the world more hated and less safe.

If it’s anything like my work and their RTO a few things.

1. hR is well aware of attrition rates and I bet they’re through the roof
2. Any new hires are probably not the best or brightest they could expect to hire

So expect quality at Amazon to decline. It may not be outwardly visible but mark my words for those that are still there it will devolve into a chaotic shit show of overworked employees that are left backfilling work for those who left and the incompetence that came in.

I mean I understand his sentiment but the system is working exactly as defined. When he says stuff like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft used to work it’s not for a lack of trying. Their MO has not changed since the 80’s. What has changed is the ability to execute on their MO.

The companies are fine. The problem is societal. Hackers ain’t gonna fix shit.

Furries

I’m jelly

As it should be IMHO. Nothing is stopping you dropping cash for shit in the untracked economy which is massive but if you want to be a part of the larger system and all its benefits you need to be prepared to play by the rules that are designed by and large to protect people.

7$ a dozen now from the farmer down the street from my parents. Inflation is wild!

I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

Yea it’s a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want “a technology that works” without any understanding or control over how it works. That’s a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn’t excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they’re generating value from me.

XML is fine. Namespaces have a special place in hell though

Linux absolutely isn’t perfect, no technology is. But in my years of experience with both, Linux on the whole is far less finicky, and far easier to fix when it breaks.

I agree 110% but it’s also worth mentioning that windows isn’t as finicky as we complain about. If it was, companies wouldn’t by and large rely on it. People are delusional if they think Windows is only around because of some conspiracy or historical precedent. “It works” plain and simple. As you scale you’re going to run into issues regardless of the OS. It’s naive to think Linux is the be all that end all. As much as anyone I want to be Linux only. My home computers have been Linux for decades now. I’m a realist. There’s value and challenges with every OS. I hate the industry trend of Windows over Linux but I get it

Best is when you’re at the end and you bring out the spatula. It’s like a mini Christmas.

Seriously. In Canada too. Our countries are huge but even in populated areas like LA there are well documented food deserts.

When I write APIs I like to set endpoints to return all status codes this way no matter what you’re doing you can always be confident you’re getting the expected status code.

Top notch
