The whole thing feels like an argument intended to push people away rather than rally support.

Highway systems are also massive.

Yeah it’s ridiculous with every small app needing to be packaged with a full DOM and maybe even an http server for all I know and what should have been a few kb ends up being 1000x that or more.

Just wait.

It’s like so many programmers never evolve past the “playing around with web dev stuff” days. The fact that JavaScript is one of the most used languages is appalling.

The whole 1+1 = 11 meme made me laugh and then avoid JavaScript whenever possible, but I wonder if many others saw it and thought, “now I’ve gained more experience in JavaScript!”

This is why I like seeing new tech with a high launch price. Even if I want one, I’m patient, and it would be worth seeing a bunch of scalpers get fucked from just assuming that initial demand will set the price even higher.

I hope they thought they had to wait in an uncomfortable line to grab the ones they got and that the store only offers exchanges and no refunds.

Vim has been around long enough that I’ve found anything I want to figure out how to do has been discussed many times on various places around the internet and have yet to fail to find what I’m looking for with a search.

I’ve seen vscode fill up home directories unnecessarily when run on the machine directly as well as remotely!

IMO vscode is a perfect example of recent software that looks great from a features pov but horrible from an efficient implementation pov. I loved it until I hated it.

I’d bet a lot of money that doing voice work is a lot easier than being in a live action production. Not saying it’s trivial, just potentially way more flexible, especially with how easy it is to splice different audio tracks together, which probably means fewer takes are required. And on top of that, there’s fewer people that need to coordinate to record those takes (especially considering live action takes likely requires more audio engineering support because it isn’t done in an audio recording studio).

It might be like a pilot deciding they are done flying commercial jets but don’t mind flying a smaller jet from time to time.

Didn’t that “buy real estate for cheap above buildings so they’d have to buy it back to expand upwards” scheme also make some money? He needed some way to gain credit in the first place that wouldn’t just disappear when he started defaulting on everything.

Needs Microsoft added to the list.

“My” can mean possession or it can mean association.

Wait does that mean I can only have up to 4 billion games on my client before the game list overflows and I start losing games at the end of the list?

Assuming that “concern” was in good faith in the first place. I believe it was a bad faith pretext for not venting the gas because it’s a well known fact that nitrogen makes up a significant portion of the atmosphere. If they were really worried about the nitrogen displacing enough oxygen to be dangerous, I can think of several ways to eliminate that risk even if I play along and accept that it’s possible.

1. Vent the room. Or use a large room and a fan.
2. Place oxygen meters in the room that sound an alarm if oxygen drops below 20%.
3. Give oxygen masks to anyone who needs to be in the room.

I tried that without a password manager for a little while. But then my answers were too abstract to remember, so now I also use a password manager for that.

In the case of the first nitrogen execution, they did dick all to vent away the carbon dioxide he was exhaling, so it eventually saturated the gas he was able to breathe and his lungs wouldn’t have been able to get rid of any more. When you hold your breath, the discomfort and urge to breathe again comes from the CO2 buildup rather than the lack of oxygen.

If the exhaled gas gets vented properly, then there’s no discomfort. That they didn’t get this part right for the execution suggests malice, or at the very least extreme negligence because it doesn’t take expertise to understand this, just a little bit of depth in knowing how suffocation works. Which you’d figure people designing and carrying out an execution would seek.

And cannibalism!

Q: What do you often see when you look out your back window?

A: Vladimir Putin riding a horse shirtless.

Hey maybe the GOP got connected with Putin because he was often at Palin’s backyard BBQs when he would ride over to say hi when he saw the gathering.

Though I also just noticed there’s only two letters different between Putin and Palin… Maybe it was just Putin in a wig the whole time.

Why would you even need a doctor? All you’d need is access to something like fentanyl and general knowledge of how to calculate a lethal dose, then just pick a dose higher than that and have a second one prepared. Other than that, they’d just need training to insert an IV or needle into a vein.

It’s a separate question from whether they should be executing anyone, but it just seems ridiculous that reliably killing someone is a hard problem. I personally think it’s based on a desire to walk a line where they are cruel to those they kill but don’t seem that way unless you look closely. Like with the first nitrogen execution, it sounded fool proof, but then they didn’t do anything to vent the CO2 and it became cruel.

I remember hearing to not layer encryptions or hashes on top of themselves. It didn’t make any sense to me at the time. It was presented as if that weakened the encryption somehow, though wasn’t elaborated on (it was a security focused class, not encryption focused, so didn’t go heavy into the math).

Like my thought was, if doing more encryption weakened the encryption that was already there, couldn’t an attacker just do more encryption themselves to reduce entropy?

The class was overall good, but this was still a university level CS course and I really wish I had pressed on that bit of “advice” more. Best guess at this point is that I misunderstood what was really being said because it just never made any sense at all to me.
