If someone else is getting paid the most amount of money, I’m happy to let the most amount of work fall to them. “Sharing the responsibility” doesn’t make sense if I don’t get to share the reward. It’s a company, not a community or a family.
If this were an actual public service, the solution would be to make sure people’s needs were met so they didn’t feel obligated to take comical amounts of soda.
Things in favor of Peyton here:
Things against Peyton:
When poor people get a windfall of money, they tend to spend it all. It’s why lottery winners tend to wind up broke. Because historically, money is a “use it or lose it” for those people. If you’ve been trained your whole life to adapt to things, it can be hard to do the right thing when those things no longer hold true.
Americans cant have decent public services because they abuse them… results in Americans desperate for public services… which results in Americans taking extra advantage of any public service that is available… which results in a mindset that Americans abuse public services… which results in less funding… Its a vicious cycle.
And it is recognized in game by comparing the steam user ID of the other players on the server. Which means if someone else spoofs their name it won’t work. But if real Garry is there, achievement confirming it is him
You don’t have to have been a slave to have dealt with racism. Enough people still get really excited about their confederate flags that clearly the era is still heavily topical.
The word “confederate” means nothing beyond referring to a type of government, but when I hear it, I think immediately of the American civil war. Even though that ended in 1865 so I was never alive to witness that.
That’s not how word associations work.
Yeah. theres a fine line between advocating for positive change because it’s the right thing to do vs because it makes you look good. Theres a fine line between being an ally and empty virtue signalling, and those things may not look different within the scope of a single interaction. It can sometimes take a bit to understand if someone is genuine or just performing.
The point of political correctness is that it’s always things you’d never consider… but someone else does. I’m not here to say whether things are right or wrong or if “master” is good or bad. but you perfectly highlight the reasoning behind it.
To you, the only thing that comes up is the technology context. And that’s perfectly reasonable. To someone else, the unrelated slave owning context may just be tightly coupled with that word, and that immediately comes to mind when they hear the word regardless of context. And someone in that scenario is probably not having a positive correlation with the word.
So a group of people have a very understandable reason to have a negative correlation with the word, and it’s super easy to use a different word, so it seems to make sense to just use the other word.
All my git scripts these days have a $(git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p') in them, which just fetches whatever origin calls the head branch. so if I want to rebase from main/master/prod/lead/front/etc … the command will figure out which one to use for me.
Recycling centers try and then often give up and just landfill plastic. And then you’re dealing with the extra transportation to have it make a stop at the recycling plant on the way to the landfill.
There is a lot of “shift the blame off corporations to the consumer and act like they can do something” happening when in reality the consumer can’t do much, and what we can do isnt 100% effective anyway.
I know this is a first world problem, but I can’t hear the beeps in my house when these things go off.
Sometimes I remember a light is still on when I’m in bed. And that’s more than seven steps and it’s late. So yes, lazy, but also not because I’ll get winded, I just don’t want to get out of bed to walk across the house in the dark after I’ve already settled. If you prefer to get up over trivial tasks, good for you, but you don’t need to judge others for having differing levels of physicality. Maybe someone worked hard physical labor all day and just doesn’t want to move when they get home.
Also, my house uses zigbee and doesn’t even have a way to connect to the Internet. So I agree there. If I am in my home wanting information generated by my home, the information has no reason to leave my home. For privacy and for latency.
Sounds like you don’t need it, but gee you’re awfully aggressive about not wanting other people to have it.
Gotta pump you full of oxidants so I can sell you antioxidants.
I’m going to count vim, or any other IDE as a tool. You don’t just will your thoughts into the computer (at least most people don’t, that I know).
Or, y’know, don’t do illegal things and it doesn’t matter. That’s the point of fines being a deterrent
You had a stroke because your mom cancelled your WoW sub?
Given his history, if he had to sue someone to be able to use a title, it’s probably not a legitimate title.
Sometimes you need to specify in config which clipboard to use on unix systems that might have multiple clipboards too
It’s not even about the lawyer.
It’s about the fact that you could pay a lawyer that much. Which is why GoFundMe campaigns for legal costs don’t automatically work.
There are vim plugins for ai chat bot integrations. Vim is a perfectly robust IDE that can be as dumb as any other
We just don’t make tech for old people the way we should.
My mother in law says things like “Wow, your son is just so good with computers.” She was impressed at how “tech savvy” he was because he was able to change the brightness on her phone for her so she could show him a picture better.
A lot of our UIs are built for absolute no-thinking usability. How would you propose changing the brightness on a phone that would make it more “old people friendly”. It’s not a matter of difficulty. She just doesnt remember these things, and a different flow may not necessarily be remembered either.
And I’m not saying its her fault or that she’s bad because of it. She was raised learning how to do and remember things a certain way and that has necessarily changed over the years.
A phone can do a lot of things, so unless you want to have 100 apps on your home screen, you’ll have to group some together. For instance, putting WiFi into a Settings app. Having every individual setting just available on the home screen potentially complicates things even worse by being overwhelming.
Genuinely curious how you think things like this could be redesigned to be more old people friendly.
