If you have a 401k, HSA, or other common financial accounts offered by employers, you most likely have money in the stock market. Usually it's an indexed mutual fund of some kind.

I'm not saying we go high. By all means, rip into them. The Harris campaign is doing a great job of that, using the truth. There's so much ammunition that the lies are just a drop in the bucket and serve no real purpose other than distortion. It's just pretty pointless.

I mean, there's so much bullshit to use against them we hardly need to stoop to lies. The truth is already incredibly damning and is tearing them apart right now.

I'm confused... Are you saying we should encourage disinformation?

Just gonna share this here anyway since I fell for it originally:

I assume you're just memeing siince he never actually wrote about that?

Yeah wtf, 100ms is great.

300ms is the average reaction time in humans. Less than 100ms reaction time would be insane and I'm pretty sure it's something no one has actually achieved.

The negative impact a lot of screen time has on kids is very well documented. Basically, even educational shows do basically nothing for young kids. It's passive and doesn't help development in any way. Kids benefit a lot more from active exploration, play, and socialization.

"Moral panic" is a phrase reserved for complaints that have no basis in reality.

It's still grossly negligent from a security perspective.

This is really terrible advice.

Wait so the couch fucking thing was bullshit? It's just so... specific. Talk about an impressive shitpost.

That's quite the claim. Do you have an example of NPR espousing the same points that Fox News is?

Okay, but it is false to claim that she is a enthusiastic supporter without any evidence of said support.

How is Harris an enthusiastic supporter? https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/7/26/harris-says-she-wont-be-silent-on-gaza-after-netanyahu-meeting

I definitely write pseudocode like this, albeit perhaps with some more shorthand. It's commonly taught this way too.

No, the legacy of HJKL in modern tools comes from vi, which itself uses them because the original ADM-3A terminal that Bill Joy used when developing it used HJKL in lieu of arrow keys.

vi was hugely influential and its legacy can be found in many tools beloved by software engineers and other tech-minded folks (and vi's successor, vim, is still widely used to this day).

I haven't really seen that honestly, it's pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don't plan on it. No one really cares.

I've seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.

The only time I've ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people's preogerative.

Last 3 years has been working on large backend web services in Haskell and Postgres, with some shell scripting thrown in here and there.

Before that, it was a mix of Python, Typescript (React), Rust, and C++.

Same story for Nebraska. Most of the population lives in Omaha or Lincoln which both lean blue, but Republicans gerrymandered the fuck out of our districts so we're a red state. And it matters a lot more here since we're one of two states that split our electoral college votes by congressional district. Like recently Lincoln overwhelmingly voted for a Democrat for our district in a special election, but Republicans naturally redrew the fucking maps to include counties that are fucking north of Omaha (like 120 miles away).

Been using vim+tmux for the last 8 years and still going strong. Wouldn't ever give it up. Vscode's pretty lackluster in comparison.
