A lot of them are shorthand for phrases that exist in other programming languages. If you watch the whole video you can see him type things like match to get the ≅ or something like that I don't know I didn't follow at all It's pretty heady shit.

If you had a magical machine that was powered at 100% efficiency by thermal fluctuations in the air that could suck carbon from the atmosphere at whatever speed you wanted, you would change the climate by the thermal differential you've created before you would seriously impact the amount of carbon being thrown into the air each year.

Exactly as you said, there's no other option than to simply stop burning this stuff.

Surely you must be joking. Matt Gaetz spent several days telling everybody that he was going to oust Kevin McCarthy. Then he did.

The Republican speaker of the House was removed from his position by the craziest contingent of the Republican party.

The self sabotage is nutty.

Severely narrowing qualified immunity would allow officers to be directly sued for much more of their misconduct. You could then make them carry malpractice insurance, leveraging the indefatigable might of the insurance industry to bring some form of accountability tracking to prospective officers.

Removing internal affairs departments from police departments and making them civilian managed has proven to work very effectively provided the civilian review board has any power to punish the officers without the consent of the police.

Prosecuting law enforcement corruption with specific prejudice should be the model going forward. They should not get reduced time or extra consideration for wearing the badge, that badge should disqualify them from any presumption of acting in good faith when they have broken the law.

The taxpayer and more directly the voter has an obligation to demand politicians that are willing to reform the police. Until the taxpayer is willing to vote for somebody who thinks the need for police oversight is more important than broken windows policing the taxpayer is on the hook for the consequences of that very poor decision.

I think it sucks that ee have to pay so much extra because so many of our compatriots are boot licking shitheads, but the alternative is to not have any corrective measure to punish the party that has agency to make a change.

Taxpayers need to be forced to pay for the consequences of the decisions of voters. The taxpayer is not a victim here.

The victim is a little girl and her family that will be forever shattered and never made whole.

The taxpayer let this happen by hiring incompetent goons and then not punishing them properly when they fuck up. If the taxpayer feels like this shouldn't happen then maybe the taxpayer should do something about the actual problem rather than complain about the cost of cleaning it up.

That's what they write on the can but not what they put in it.

Really dig in her heels on the idea that 50% is not equal to 1/2. Thinking she must be joking I wrote a two-page proof explaining all of the reasons why 50% is equal to 1/2 and she was more than a little bit mad at me for not letting it go...

I ended up having to appeal to her department chair who walked into the room during my class, sat down at her computer, changed my grade on that test, and said to her, "I really shouldn't have had to come down here to do this myself. I don't want to have to come down here again. I'm asking you to drop it."

She didn't say another word for the rest of that class period and was not in school the next day. For the life of me I can't understand what the fuck she was thinking was going to happen. Math doesn't recognize opinions or authorities outside of math and she should have known that.

Using cloudflare is more reliable than using your own stuff which is still an option that nobody chooses anymore because it's better to choose cloudflare or something similar.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't work with internet security in any way, have no experience in web development, and have never attempted to provide web application services to more people than you can count on your fingers, but if you had, cloudflare is mana from heaven.

Capitalism requires regulation. If you don't have regulation you can only have capitalism for an incredibly short amount of time. This was all detailed in Adam Smith's book when he invented capitalism.

This is the orange menace himself, The Dread Ensign Westley Snipes Crusher.

The only way to prevent a coup is through national domestic tranquility coupled with unchallenged military supremacy. Since we have yet to see such a thing emerge on Earth, it's governments are still subject to being violently overthrown, sometimes publicly, sometimes covertly.

America and more broadly western money doesn't really tolerate the locals to participate in the democracy in countries that might come to the wrong conclusions democratically. In those situations, we install a management layer into their government that is easily mistaken for vassal state puppetry by the people who actually see it in action.

From the perspective of the locals, this 'democracy' was installed by an externally funded military coup and is a tool of foreign hegemony. Democracy is what we wrote on the package, but it's not what they got when they opened it up.

Edit: I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all these coup leaders were trained by American military.

And yet 10 years ago is when Romney warned us. I remember having a conversation with my mother in which I sounded off incredulously about it, "I don't buy this red scare 2.0 thing" to which my mother said, "there's probably something to it if someone says you shouldn't trust their friends."

The jokes on you, I've always been in pain!

In fact I only recently discovered that not everybody feels this way all the time and that has been oddly encouraging.

It seems like the exception carved out for quasi legal processes must include some form of due process which isn't present if you are unable to confront your accusers.

It's shitty that this protects a lot of really heinous crime. It's really shitty that no one's come up with a better solution than having due process for everybody. The solution is not to carve out exceptions for people accused of crimes that someone might think doesn't deserve to defend themselves.

They decided to fake their own outrage when they decided to pretend the accusation is more inappropriate than the behavior that drove the accusation.

As an participant in the national dialogue it is absolutely my responsibility to identify when people are not being honest in conversation and to respond to that and not to their superficial presentation.

I don't decide if they're genuine or not I decide if I believe they are genuine or not. I don't have to presume they are acting in good faith or with honest intentions. They have not earned that benefit of the doubt.

Paying for a failed attempt. So it's kind of impotence squared if it happens.

That's $100,000 that won't get to those people unless somebody else raises it because I doubt very seriously Kim Davis has $100,000.

This came too late to pump up the demand for Geno to be brought into Smash, but I'm excited none the less.

Every part of the original game was top notch. Awesome characters that fit into an expansive world with lots of side quests and engaging combat. It game had awesome music too. And this looks like a real remake not just a port.

It sounds like she's trying to pretend that she's a news show when in reality she's just an actress reading jokes about the news. She certainly is not more newsworthy than the daily show or Seth Meyers and they are off for the strike.

It sounds like she doesn't want to follow the rules and is salty because people are holding her to some kind of standard.

It's poorly optimized code, and the comments from the top brass has been "lol your PC sux" when they can't even get it running right on their own hardware.

It's not the variations of PC that's the issue, it's a design and quality control issue. Direct X and Vulkan are the bread and butter of PC gaming. Microsoft developed direct X to establish a common graphics framework for Windows and Microsoft game studio still fucked up working with it.
