Honesty

Do not try to deceive people. Always tell the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable.

That depends on how often you use it. If I needed to write quicksort as often as the quadratic formula, I’d probably remember it. And if I only used the quadratic formula as often as I do quicksort, I’d just derive it each time.

You don’t need to memorize quicksort. If you understand how it works, it’s trivial to work out the exact details.

I am worried by how many people in this thread shit their pants often enough to be able to answer the question.

Why isn’t there a right wing instance?

Because all other instances would assume that it’s for Nazis and defederate.

If you need to pay someone to talk about your product, it’s probably not as good as you think.

Advertising is when they’re getting paid for it. Otherwise it’s called recommending.

Don’t most terminals flush the buffer on newline anyway?

I also have Ahinsa shoes and they’re great.

Creators who care about privacy should not support Google’s monopoly by using YouTube as their platform of choice.

It’s called a plurale tantum or “plural-only noun”.

LLMs are a type of neural networks.

Since PHP has to maintain backward compatibility, many of the issues are not and will never be fixed.

As if the Google keyboard did not send all your keystrokes to Google…

You mean the company that makes money from getting children addicted to gambling?

Yes, also remember to completely avoid Typescript and C# since they are also Microsoft.

This, but unironically.

By what standard is GitLab not a “capitalist platform”? It feels even more corporatey than GitHub. From their homepage:

GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.

SourceHut encourages an e-mail–based workflow that does not require anyone but the repository owner to have an account. In fact, that’s how Git originally worked before GitHub enshittified it.

How would decentralization work for an issue tracker? The issues have to be stored somewhere.

I’m sure there is a lot that the random developer who happened to be born in Russia can do about that.
