Sometimes things aren’t obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we’re all a little stupid.

There’s a balance to be struck.

TECHNICALLY, there is no such thing as a pull request in git. That’s a Github convention. It’s really a merge request

e: drat someone already out-pedantic’d me

Just #3 by the looks of it

I don’t think you’re entirely wrong here, but you make sweeping generalizations about programmers that I see a lot online that irk me.

Most developers I know have a few languages they’re familiar with. A good developer uses the right tools for the job. When I work with my python shop I use that. When I need a quick webapp it’ll be JS. If there’s something that requires high performance I might try go.

Every language has pitfalls and vulnerabilities, but that really says nothing of their utility. Any flame war between languages is typically pedaled by dilettantes fueled by memes they don’t understand (like javascript == memes)

take this admittedly ancient study of vulnerabilities divvied up by language:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/which-are-the-most-insecure-programming-languages/

In JS, you don’t have to free memory manually. Nor in python. This (mostly) precludes a whole class of severe bugs/vulns, but those weren’t relevant anyway because they’re different tools for different jobs.

We can bemoan the gigantic js ecosystem, but we can also realize it is a fantastic resource for novices and veterans alike.

Small nitpicks: The point of react is that it DOESN’T refresh. It maintains a virtual DOM which is faster to update and diff than the regular browser DOM, which you hinted at. No libraries necessary to do routing, but they do make it easier and better.

This however is a React Native application which doesn’t have the same (browser) backend or requirements. It’s native code. There is no refresh or routing per se.

That all said, the start menu is an abomination of the highest order. It just isn’t really React’s fault. People just love to hate on React and <insert current zeitgeist here>. React also gets a bad rap because it’s so ubiquitous and easy to start using that novices and morons alike can make atrociously slow, bloated web apps with it.

And animal abuse :)

it’s actually remarkably easy to install and remove if you dont want it. Last time I used asahi it was cool but not ready for daily use. The m3 is a powerful little chip. I’d use that machine as my daily driver laptop whenever I needed it. Can do coding, music stuff, video editing, etc. I can do all that on my m1 pro, even!

alternatively, sit at a coffee shop, put a mech keyboard on top, and type a pretentious manuscript hoping someone will notice how cool u r (:

I completely agree with you, I just don’t think the parent comment was loaded with as many assumptions as you made

That isn’t what the parent is saying at all

oh yeah? do a .7z now 😏

e: ah, you created the tar first i see now. i bet you know how to decompress a .tar.gz by memory every time

I want to pay a botnet to upvote this comment

I like this thought experiment and think about this a lot. However this does nothing to remotely indicate the existence of the Abrahamic god. People tell you with certainty that god exists and he’s three persons and jesus rose from the dead yada yada. That’s a complete fantasy derived from literally nothing.

No proof but still believe? Faith.

Not believing in something that has zero evidence requires no faith. I don’t need faith to tell you Cthulu isn’t real

It doesn’t require faith to NOT believe in something. It requires faith to accept religion which cannot be proven.

“Concentration camp” evokes the Nazi style death camps. The USA’s version of this was/is decidedly less about mass extermination of a race. Still a concentration camp, still repugnant. I think the terminology is loaded and it makes it harder for people to understand. Not to mention the dearth of education we have which certainly isn’t helping…

This isn’t true as I was mistaken. The gap apparently is 1 cent when adjusting for positions. I think this is an overly simplistic view which unduly shifts the blame to women, when in fact society and our economic systems push women towards particular jobs (or motherhood) and compensates far less.

Hers a source I linked elsewhere:

https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/03/01/the-enduring-grip-of-the-gender-pay-gap/

I’m mistaken on that point then, though there is still a measurable gap. There is a large disparity in the “unadjusted” numbers which the article you sent notes is just as important as the adjusted one. It represents a power disparity. Ty for the correction

Here’s another reliable source:
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/03/01/the-enduring-grip-of-the-gender-pay-gap/

The gap exists between identical positions – that’s like the whole thing

Why is it important that OP pretend like they dont approve? This is a puritanical take with a particularly dim view of sex.
