ohhhh. i didn’t connect the dots between the commercial and the CEO, who I assume had nothing to do with it.

Whenever I see “IYKYK” I get very annoyed because you COULD just explain it instead.

I would rather not have the astroturf either fwiw. Gay beer might be worth it tho

Because woke means “thing I don’t like” and that’s all

By this logic, get rid of all your food and clothing. You can’t get poop stains out of most clothing and obviously you’re not going to risk eating food that had poop on it.

Also, go ahead and keep your litter box tools forever.

Wow, what the fuck happened to you to make you like this? It’s a post about a map.

In spring, a man plants a tree.
In summer, he plants another.
In the fall, they stood together.
In winter, one fell.

Your own body would basically be a fog cloud of evaporation all day until you were dehydrated like a skeleton in a salt flat, which is exactly what you would be, since no life anywhere could exist.

Hey, Microsoft has been putting in the work, too

I actually find it really comforting that it’s going back as if it never happened. Don’t get me wrong, I wish the bullet had been a skosh to the right, but hear me out:

America does not give a shit about Donald Trump. The country doesn’t care if he lives or dies. The media cares a lot, but the country doesn’t think it matters that he almost got shot. He didn’t get a bump. He didn’t get a sobbing tearful day show host wondering if he’s ok. He didn’t even put out a commemorative “Trump got shot” bullet and let’s be real, that’s something he could have done himself. Nobody cares. He’s not important to America.

Well, someone who believes it was faked is crediting his side with that 13%. You’re gonna trust the numbers of someone who thinks the moon landing was faked?

All I can think is it has to be a massive pain in the ass to do maintenance. You’d have to shut down the whole park and remove a bunch of unrelated slides to fix anything on one ride.

I like that this also illustrates how pointless a million extra layers of boxes are for improving anyone’s life.

This is how I think about trans men. I’m a cis man, but I never liked men very much, I’ve just never thought of myself as anything else. A trans man–a person who would fight to be this gender? Reminds me that men have value too.

I sit next to the Linux guy. I can info dump better than he can, he’ll move himself into the wolf side of the aisle before we’ve even taken off.

I understand what you’re saying about failing early. That’s a great strategy but it’s meant to apply to production software. As in, your product shouldn’t even start up if critical parts are missing or misconfigured. The software should be capable of testing its configuration and failing when anything is wrong, before it breaks anything else. During the development process, failing early also speeds up iteration cycles, but again, that’s only when it’s built into the sw runtime that it carries with it.

“Fail early” can also mean your product stops working and shuts down as soon as its environment changes in a disruptive way; for example, if you’re using a database connection, and the database goes down, and you can’t recover or reconnect, you shut down. Or you go into read-only mode until your retries finally succeed. That’s a form of “fail early” where “early” means “as soon as possible after a problem arises”.

You don’t want your development processes to move fast and break things. If your dev and staging environments are constantly broken because you moved fast and broke things, you will ship broken software. The more bugs there are in there due to your development practices, the more bugs you’ll ship, in a linear relationship.

QA and controlled development iterations with good quality practices and good understanding by all team members is how you prevent these problems. You avoid shipping bugs by detecting failures early, not by making mistakes early.

They’re so far from being the little guy, their CEO has extensive experience DOING LITERALLY THIS SAME THING 14 YEARS AGO
