These people are supposed to be representing their constituents; it isn't supposed to be an episode of Jerry Springer. I'm surprised they aren't literally throwing chairs.
The project sounds neat, but when I saw the thumbnail I was wondering why someone posted about a 1995 Thinkpad. I don't think I could go back to a thick laptop, even if the screen is tiny.
I'd probably go for a framework laptop with a keyboard in my bookbag, but that's just me.
My guess is this is another nail in the coffin for the "unprofitable" USPS. Businesses can't tolerate disruptions and private shipping companies will be more than happy to step up.
Hulu was my Netflix alternative. If they start showing me ads I'm done with them too. Hopefully this was added for live events, sports, etc, but I don't know if they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
It's just a word at the end of the day. To me "main" is literally a shorter word that means the same thing in my brain. It could be "trunk" or "release" or whatever else you'd like. "master" makes some people uneasy, so it seems like a simple solution to pick a different word.
The development community talked, informally settled on main, and here we are. Anecdotally it took me more time to write this than to switch most of my projects over. I use GitHub actions and a simple find/replace for a word not otherwise commonly used was the ticket.
I really don't care what other people use at the end of the day. Discussing version control and branching strategies drains my life away. If it is difficult to switch, don't, but if you start a new repo it is worth thinking about for a moment.
Our ineffective representatives just need to step down. Term limits might be helpful in the long term, but Bernie and AOC are the only people with their heads on their shoulders right now.
In a few weeks people are going to be like "how could he do this??", with regards to tariffs (just to be clear, because he'll do some other terrible shit at the same time).
This has been his plan and the one thing he keeps returning to that makes him feel really powerful. Of course he's going to enact tariffs.
The cumulative price increases are noticeable. Grocery receipts feel like they are $25-50 more expensive for the same stuff.
We buy a dozen eggs every other week, so that specifically isn't impacting us much, but in the store I usually take note, and say damn under my breath when I see the $7+ ones.
Looks great!
