Put him on the first rocket to mars but make sure you filter the news feed from earth to scrub out any mention of him at all, and replace them with sentences giving credit to his subordinates.

He'll go full shining within a year.

As a developer who knows enough about networking and servers to know when I'm out of my depth, I'm sorry for my colleague. If it's any consolation we all think they are an idiot as well

The troubles weren't just Irish people vs colonial oppressors though, there was a ton of sectarian violence between different Irish groups

Like you are starting a lawnmower

The majority of spider-related injuries are self-inflicted by people panicking and hurting themselves.

In most lizard-related fatalities, the lizard is the one who is killed

But it's one of their defining features - they talk a big game, but if you hit them with a bat they run away crying like the pissy little cowards they really are

Also good luck getting that baggie of "tobacco" past the TSA

If only there was something you could do to the Nazis to stop them showing up at your bar

If you run a bar, and Nazis hang out in your bar, you run a Nazi bar

The argument that could be made is that in most of the rest of the constitution, anything that involves things the president can or can't do explicitly says "the president", so having an extensive list of positions that could be disqualified that doesn't mention the president by name implies that the president isn't included.

It's not a good argument, and I suspect in saner times it would be pretty clear that the intent is that Trump can't run.

https://learnconlaw.com/78-the-disqualification-clause goes into this in detail - the short answer is that the federal supreme court will probably rule that the amendment doesn't specifically call out the president as a person who can be disqualified and overturn the decision.

There is an argument to be made that the president is a "federal officer" so the ruling does stand, and that the intent was to bar confederates from public office so it would be weird to read the law as disqualifying a person from low level state office but not from the presidency, but it seems unlikely that the court would choose to do that given how partisan it is

They have good form in spectacularly fucking this up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windrush_scandal

Town where I grew up had an awesome laser tag - you started off with a basic blaster but could unlock a shotgun (more damage, but fired slower and had limited ammo) and a rocket launcher (single shot insta kill) by doing different things in game

I don't know, but there probably should be a line somewhere. More wealth than 99.9% of the rest of the planet sounds like a good place to start

Simply by having a billion dollars means they have decided to hoard that wealth. They could give away 90% of it, leaving them with $100 million, it wouldn't impact their quality of life in any way, and still leave them with more wealth than 99.9% of the planet. Imagine the good that $900 million could do if it was put to good use rather than sitting in a bank account as a status symbol - having the capability to do that good with no impact on yourself or your family and choosing not to makes you an immoral person.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. At all.

It's an opinion piece, not a news article

Tbh, I think my issues are less with rtx itself and more the plugins I'm using and the constraints imposed by the asdf plugin structure.

I ran into issues where poorly written plugins could fail to install, but rtx wouldn't recognise the issue and if I re-ran "rtx install" a second time it would tell me that the runtimes were all up to date. I'll see if I can put together a GitHub issue describing it in more detail.

It'd be nice if there was a simple way to reference a local directory as a plugin for a project rather than having to publish a separate git repo.

Generally it's a really well built tool and the docs are excellent, my complaints are nitpicks

Ended up going with rtx - thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestions. As an update:

• I spent a few hours playing about with Nix; it's really cool, definitely a very interesting idea but the "time required to learn the tool" to "time saved by using the tool" to "time spent fixing things when it turns out you don't know the tool as well as you thought" ratio isn't looking great right now
• I've reworked one of my repos to use rtx - it's not perfect, but it's doing what I want without much fuss, so probably going to go with this for now

Very briefly playing about with Nix it does seem pretty compelling - only issue I can see is I don't seem to have a straight forward way of installing a specific version of a tool from the official repo - you get whatever the current version is that the package maintainers have published for the specific snapshot you are using. I guess I could maintain my own packaging for different versions if it turns out to be important
