  • Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn't take medical advice from random people on the Internet.

    If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.

  • It's more helpful to ask questions of OP if you feel their initial question is missing context.

    They probably don't know what to consider if they are asking the question to begin with. Asking gap filling questions can help guide to an answer.

  • emacs

    Jump
  • I genuinely think it's funny that in a post that isn't making fun of Emacs you felt the need to defend Emacs.

    It's making fun of Emacs users for always finding ways to talk about Emacs. (Which I don't think is a real problem anymore)

  • From Texas. I'm actually kinda surprised to hear how slow people are driving there. Our perspective is largely that the Autobahn is generally people driving closer to 160km/h.

    We have roads here that are limited to 136km/h. So it's kinda surprising to find out that most Autobahn drivers aren't breaking that speed.

  • On the slim chance you're arguing in good faith and are just unaware. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_GIF

    A number of analysis have been done on this subject. Polling showed that more people pronounce with a hard g. Most dictionaries list a hard g as the primary pronunciation. More words that begin with gi use the hard g.

  • If you are a gamer and have a need for a portable computer and can only afford a single machine, gaming laptops are great. I also had one for a while that I was using for lan parties and conventions. Worked great.

  • My only point on the compass being a better representation is that it acknowledged a problem. That's not to say it's a good representation.

    I think it's unhelpful to say that a step toward more fidelity is the same level of bad, though. Even if it's the tiniest step, it's a move in the right direction by pointing out that a single line isn't sufficient.

    In reality, it would be more like a series of lines on different topics weighted differently by an individuals priorities so no singular generic representation will ever be truly good enough.

  • The political compass is a better representation purely because it acknowledged that political ideals aren't a linear spectrum, but it still misses the mark because a plane isn't sufficient either.

    Politics is such a complex topic and any simple representation of it will lead to what would appear to be contradictions in a person's beliefs.

  • Even some of these issues ORMs are solving can be solved without them by caching a view of the data in structure of the object. Relational DBs are extremely well tuned for looking up and caching data in an easy to view manner.

    Somebody else pointed out the problem is bad devs not learning their tools. I'd go so far as to say DB knowledge can (and was due a while) be a specialized field full of skills that will fall by the wayside for most devs because we aren't doing super complex things in a single DB anymore with the preference going toward microservices. There's no need to flex those skills and they depreciate over time.
