  • How does a person see these errors (and not just this but the many others) and not think this guy's brain has turned to algae? And continue to believe he is a viable candidate for president and will lead this country better? And vote for the algae?

  • Would CISA or some other government agency have (or assemble) a dedicated response team that would study videos and audio as they appear, quickly be able to determine if they are deep fakes, and publicize that information? Basically a fire department for disinformation?

  • Trump declared he would finish the job, as in complete the genocide, so I hope you won't help that happen. At least Biden is trying to give some relief to Palestinians. Being on Israel's side is US policy: they are our ally, for better or worse, for good or bad reasons. Personally, I think we should drop or reduce that alliance, but I'm not in charge.

  • I am much less likely to become a corpse myself. That was a genuinely scary period, people going crazy buying TP, minimal food on the shelves, getting stared at (and clerks surreptitiously wiping the grocery conveyor after I used it, but fortunately nothing violent) because I am Asian. And just the not knowing enough about transmission and prevention.

    Republicans: but gas was so cheap!

  • Affordable housing is key. Homeless people are homeless for a variety of reasons and there's not a one size fits all solution. However, the greater part (statistics vary, but they are the majority) of homelessness is caused by unaffordable housing which is a result of both low wages and overpriced housing.

  • He's had a lot of terrible things happen to him with regards to family, and he strikes me as someone whose tragedies stay close to his heart and remain fresh. He's very human. I'm okay with him forgetting which year he lost Beau, because I sometimes get mixed up on the year I lost my mom (5 years ago) and I never remember the exact year my dad passed away (20+ years ago).

  • The level of glee here over a death is kind of appalling. Yeah, she was a billionaire, so was Steve Jobs. Related by marriage to Mitch does not make her responsible for Mitch's garbage decisions. I'm sure she has family and friends who are devastated. I had not heard anything about her existence before this, but even if she's a bad person she's still a human and drowning is an awful way to die.

  • Some newspapers and online news sources require a paid subscription to read the article. Subscribers can create a link to the article so people who don't have a subscription can read it. There's a limit to how many gift links a subscriber can create, in the case of Washington Post it's 10 per month.

  • I think I got my CS degree too early, i.e. before the web was a thing. Basically, things have changed so much from the late 80s to now that everything except the basics are all out of date. I was in the school of Math as opposed to Engineering, so we were coding in Pascal and doing simulations and stuff. I think it would have been better to learn C, though obviously that's in hindsight. I did take a class in DBMS which served me well some 20 years later when I became a database manager/developer because that language did not change too much. OOP I had to learn from scratch and it was a bit mind blowing.

    I've been using Android Studio and Visual Studio code and it's annoying that stuff is constantly getting updated, but also amazing that these IDEs take care of so much of that stuff for you. Even when I started coding Android about 9-10 years ago you had to manually download and install all these stupid packages. Now the IDE just announces it's doing it and you go get a cup of coffee and wait for it to finish.

  • Left liberal Asian American who's owned various pellet guns/rifles for plinking, and have a lovely antique shotgun that I've fired a handful of times. My dad passed and shortly before Covid, I ended up with his .22 Colt pistol from the 60s. Did the legal inheritance transfer, cleaned it up. Covid happened and although I knew there would never be a lynch mob at my doorstep, I felt a pinch safer having it around.
