Which one of them is the one that referred to workers as niggers in their codebase?

Google is allowing the app developers to choose (for now?). With Apple, developers never had the option to allow other stores or sideloading.

I’m lucky enough that both of the shareholders of my company are software engineers; one has transitioned to sales and project management, the other is still an engineer, he’s also the CTO.

Was discussing office chairs with our team lead/office supplies person (it’s a really small company, some people have multiple roles) and when I mentioned that my chair gets really creaky when leaning back but otherwise it works so it really just needs some lubrication, she asked why I would even lean so far back in my chair and the CTO told her “There’s two sitting positions for programming. The writing position and the thinking position”

TL;DR: Takes an engineer to know how engineering works. Turns out that you have to spend a lot of time just thinking

Interestingly enough, I had fallacies as part of my base native language class. Can’t remember if it was middle school or high school, but we definitely learned about the most common ones like ad hominem, false dilemma, slippery slope, etc.

Kinda imagined it would be similar elsewhere, but unfortunately not I guess

There’s always a question of where do we draw the line?

The justice system is a form of government overreach. To be truly free, everyone should be allowed to do absolutely anything, including murder and theft.

Hmm, doesn’t seem like a good idea. People might infringe on other people’s right to live, or more importantly, their private property. Maybe we should do something about it… Idk, adopt some laws, have police that can arrest you for committing a crime?

Okay, now we already have a government, but they don’t do a whole lot. Yet to some, this would still be called overreach.

Ding ding ding, it’s a fire! In your neighborhood! Who’s going to put it out? Well the private firefighters are - IF the owner first sells the house to them for cheap. Otherwise, what’s the point even?

Wait, shit… Maybe firefighters shouldn’t be private either?

Anyway, this is all too much for my tiny mind right now. You see, I grew up somewhat poor so I should’ve gone and worked the farms at the age of 7 instead of going to school, which my family shouldn’t have been able to afford under a completely fair, anarcho-capitalist system. Unfortunately, it was free for me - other people suffered and paid taxes so that I could receive free education I didn’t deserve, and the social mobility that comes with it. I now have those peoples’ blood on my hands, for they paid a little bit of income and social taxes.

I diagram everything out in my brain and it evolves continuously while I’m writing code

Sometimes I feel it’s a miracle I get anything done at all but then usually the end result is better than what I’d originally envisioned so it kinda balances out.

But think about arguing online! It’s apparently a hobby and to be competitive, you need to be able to spew bullshit at amazing rates. Personally I’ve maxed out at 140 wpm, but usually stay in the 100 wpm range.

Programming? Idk, I spend more time thinking than typing personally. Good code requires you to consider all the corner cases and such.

Facebook 15 years ago wasn’t all that bad tbh. It was nice being able to write to just about anyone you met in real life.

It’d already been getting worse for a while, but to me, the 2016 US election was when things got super obvious. Same with reddit. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years already.

This shit right here is why people buy Apple. You sell your soul to the devil and get convenience in return.

Don’t get me wrong - both my work laptop and my gaming PC run Linux. But my phone is still an iPhone and if I ever have need for a personal laptop again, it’s gonna be a Macbook Air again.

I hope it succeeds just enough to take the right wing nutters off YouTube and give YouTube an incentive to improve its service. But that it stays unsuccessful enough that it keeps burning a hole in Elon’s pocket

I’m seriously considering dropping everything and jumping to Rust because of Cargo.

Well if you’re into game dev, ECS and Rust, there’s like a 99% chance you know of it, but just in case you don’t: We have bevy, now with an extra full-time dev (Alice, who’d been working hard at it for years, I think she’s a bigger contributor than the author himself at this point lol)

I’m not a teacher, and I don’t want to become one tbh.

That said, something like Python is standard, and for good reason IMO. For OOP they usually teach Java here, though I’m not a huge fan. I think Kotlin would be better to teach nowadays. There are other OO languages of course, but I’m of the opinion that after messing around with Python, students should probably use something strongly typed, so that’s JavaScript out - I suppose TypeScript could be used, but IMO it’d be best to keep JS/TS in a web dev specific course.

That’s because C++ is such a high performance language, it gets things done faster

I saw the tagline and thought it meant that REM sleep is the next big thing people invest in because sleep is good for your health so they’re selling solutions to boost your sleep quality

Boy was I wrong
