Yeah, the annoying thing is the people who I generally have found to be the worst about stuff like this are old school Senior C developers, who still program like it's 1987 and we have to fit everything into 4K of RAM.
Fortunately there's nothing like that in my code base, I just run into stuff like that periodically when I'm digging around in other team's server code looking for something.
And I have a fucking conniption because just move that shit into a variable before the return. I get it when sometimes you just need to resolve something inline, but a huge amount of the time that ternary can be extracted to a variable before the ternary, or just rewrite the function to take multiple types and resolve it in the function.
Fully agree. Honestly there's a few subjects where this kinda logic comes up and I get annoyed. Like it's fine to not be perfect, but don't pretend that you aren't perfect, or that your choices are somehow 'good' when they aren't, just because you don't like the realization.
Yeah the difference is hot fusion works, see: the sun. Cold fusion would require a fundamental change in how we understand physics works. It's junk science.
You can also feed them less, and then put that kibble in the treats as part of dinner time. So they'd get half their dinner from the bowl and half from a puzzle toy, or whatever.
No the usual 'argument' that references is that it you have a complaint or preference or comment or whatever about your work or job duties, you have to bring it to your union rep, rather than talk directly with your employers management. Somehow that's supposed to be an argument against unions.
I mean that's kinda the point the guy you originally replied to was making. From the limited info I've seen about this guy I know nothing about him, which isn't enough for me to dismiss him as a shitty person with just "Nazi bad". Certainly a good starting point tho lol
I mean, isn't community self-policing and an overly tolerant attitude towards picking what type of games are allowed on your platform exactly what we want from them?
Yeah but this also results in the site receiving less money from ads, also hurting them in the long run. Really the solution is to pay for the services you enjoy, and acknowledge the age-old "if the service is free, you are the product".
Yeah, it'll be easy to catch if you actually dig into it, but if you're not given a reason to, it might take a while to catch; which is exactly what happened
It's also really confusing because even if you don't have any particular affinity for Ukraine, even a Republican must acknowledge that functionally Russia and China are only things that are even remotely close to peer adversaries, and any military hardware we send Ukraine is going to get dumped directly into damaging that adversary. It's basically one of the most efficient military investments you could get right now. If you're even a bit pro military, you should be pro Ukraine.
Sure, but I wouldn't really find the process of starting the conversation to find that out "small talk". Even if there's not a lot new most of the time, to me small talk has to be the kind of banal and meaningless conversations that basically never lead into those 'real' ones. How's the weather, what about that local sports team, did you see someone bought that house/building/store down the road, etc.
I think the complicated thing is there are people you don't really know, acquaintances, where the generic "how's the wife and kids" is small talk, because they don't actually really care, it's just a generic greeting thing. But a friend asking that is different, imo.
I dunno that seems pretty prejudicial. It's literally the job of politicians to listen to their constituents and advocate for them. Obviously there's a problem of unequal access and representation, but I'm not sure anything he did here is particularly outside that mold, certainly not criminal. Can you actually point to something concrete that he did that you think is criminal?
I think what it comes down to for me personally about McCain is that even though I disagreed with a lot of his politics, I do genuinely believe he cared about the country and the people in it, and generally speaking he did what he honestly thought was best for them.
We can criticize the relative purity of every politician until we're blue in the face, but honestly the one overriding characteristic I think it's fair to demand of every elected official is that they're honestly working in good faith for the betterment of the country. As long as that's true I have no deep-seated issue with them.
Senators Glenn and McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".
Keating and DeConcini were asking McCain to travel to San Francisco to meet with regulators regarding Lincoln Savings; McCain refused.[7][11] DeConcini told Keating that McCain was nervous about interfering.[7] Keating called McCain a "wimp" behind his back, and on March 24, Keating and McCain had a heated, contentious meeting.[11]
The regulators then revealed that Lincoln was under criminal investigation on a variety of serious charges, at which point McCain severed all relations with Keating.[7]
I'm all for shitting on McCain for some of the questionable takes he's had in his life, but I don't think this is the obvious "he's corrupt" politician mic drop you think it is.
"Destroying Angel" is an incredibly metal name for a mushroom lmao.
