This statement has strong Bilbo " I like less than half of you as well as you deserve" energy

(No hate, it just struck me as funny)

The US is when you’ve dominated the map militarily, neuter the other civs instead of sacking them, and then spend the rest of the game uncontested getting the cultural victory for the lulz.

I’m convinced the answer is “Israel absolutely has nukes and will use them if we stop providing them conventional arms”

But the real answer is probably as mundane as “They are the core of US power projection and intelligence gathering in the middle east, and we really don’t want to lose that level of influence in the region”.

I blame the 70ish million who decided the whole voting scene just wasn’t for them.

(And the misogyny. Holy shit the misogyny)

If you’re reading this and have never tried this, get some, it’s a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

It would be confusing and weird if “=” did different things depending on the context.

= is the assignment operator

== is the comparison operator.

the others using = only is probably just to keep things short, and the fact that the context is a lot clearer with another character like < next to the =

Can’t have shit in Detroit. Not even actual pics of Detroit in Detroit memes.

Exactly. This asshole wants people to stop yelling at them for “just wanting a fiscal conservative” in office. (The guy in the pic, not OP)

Try contracting in your spare time to get some variety.

Try contracting full time If you want to fast forward to that next life.

I can’t find the source, but at some point there were reports of a fridge with a WiFi module that would overheat and die if you blocked it at the router.

Yeah, in a capitalist system the difference between a smart person with a good idea and a successful person is capital.

With enough capital you don’t need to be smart or have any good ideas. You don’t even need to be a person.

It took me a year but I broke my team of this habit. The trick was to remind them that the parking lot shouldn’t be scheduled. The whole point is that you continue conversations organically so that it’s more like the beginning of a working session instead of the end of a meeting.

Apple is a strange beast. I was at their space ship HQ getting interviewed, and the guy kept pointing random facts about it. Like, this particular wood was harvested in the winter so that made it better, or that entire segments can be siloed off, or that the full height glass walls of the cafeteria can be opened on pivots, and there was just so much effort in making sure things worked just right.

Meanwhile [this team] had to test software fixes for their product by provisioning ancient Mac mini’s in a closet lab because they wanted to test the “full experience” and so every patch and update they had to do was painful and horribly tested. They all hated each other (which was obvious to me just from my time in their interviews, so it must have gotten really bad during the workday I imagine). Everyone seemed on edge all the time. Even the people in the hallways. But they were all super excited that they could order lattes from the iPads tethered to the break room countertops. And they had an apple orchard I guess. The idea of changing how they do what they do was completely unentertainable.

The whole experience felt surreal, like I had stepped into the world according to The Onion.

Whelp, I’m dead. GG hippo.

It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.

Oh for sure, and some of those are not ok with swapping the interpreter out 🤣

It is, and it’s a valid complaint. Go and Rust have handled it differently than Python or JavaScript, and all of them have their faults and bonuses.

It’s a load bearing S.
