Don’t worry, I already have no idea what mewing, mogging, skibidi, or Ohio mean. I’m already the old man yelling at clouds.

Agreed. We’ve lost a lot of ground to the barons of the new world, but the swell of support for unions is a light in the darkness. As much as I have bad things to say about our society, I’m happy we live somewhere where we can push back without going to jail.
“Based” is pre-zoomer (Gen Z/Alpha) gamer slang for “great”, with a slight connotation of oppositional greatness.
Original gamer use may include describing use of the N word for memes as “based” as its a counter-cultural thing that gamers saw as good. Nowadays it’s pretty “normie-core” and any time something upsets the status quo in a positive way that might make opposition upset, is based.
For example, Dark Brandon, a reimagining of the “let’s go Brandon” MAGA meme to be a progressive, anti-MAGA meme used as kind of a soft middle-finger to the right-wing internet, was incredibly based.
I think you misunderstood.
Medicine price negotiations, antitrust lawsuits, price gouging lawsuits, unfair fee lawsuits, etc. Biden admin FTC+DOJ have more teeth than I’ve ever seen.
I can’t remember a period of time with so many anti-trust and other consumer protection lawsuits from the FTC and DOJ.
Shame we got to this state, but Biden admin is deeply based.
They’re voting Jill Stein because Daddy Putin says vote splitting is a communist conspiracy
Idk… lotta people on mics in pre/post-game lobbies in Splitgate for it to be bot matches
What’s wild to me is that legal segregation was like, not that long ago at all. It always feels like it’s taught as ancient history but it was only half a lifetime ago, really… and still ongoing. It’s not like this happened a thousand years ago and “you should really be over it by now”, this was the experience of some people’s still living grandparents and parents.
The idea that an entire demographic of people should magically recover and be equals again after like 30 years of half-assed “equality” after literal generations of slavery is fucking wild.
Absolute goblin energy to not recognize the ongoing effects of such a recent thing.
I know they’re paid for by Walmart/whoever, but they should get actual private security that doesn’t cost the taxpayer 300 grand to train and prepare for service. The police force can stop complaining about being understaffed too when they’re playing rentacop.
Congrats officer you caught a guy stealing 2 loaves of bread and a $10 rotisserie chicken. Mind going to arrest the guy who committed an assault 2 blocks away just now?
Yep - not u common in my shitass city these days for a couple cops to be posted at the doors of safeway, walmart, etc. full time. Me getting mugged by 5 tweakers in broad daylight? 8 hour response time. Homeless dude stealing bread to survive? Immediately arrested.
Meanwhile the police force complains that they need more money because they don’t have enough resources to do their jobs… full 1/3rd of our civic budget already. Totally fucking useless, unless you’re a big brand.
It doesn’t even make me mad, I’m just scared and confused
From the linked article:
…Herren celebrated the business achieving its highest operating margin in history – a non-GAAP 32.5 percent.
Yeah seems like the perfect time to fire 6000 people
New account pushing a confirmed-to-be-false narrative only backed by Russian orgs and far-right politicians? It’s more likely than you think!
I cannot recommend the book “Escaping the Housing Trap” highly enough. It talks a lot about the funding and financial products around housing and some of the fundamental flaws in the system. It’s quite easy to blame institutional owners and they’re certainly partly at fault, but it’s vastly more complex than that. It’s a really great scary read that genuinely had my mouth hanging open at times.
Tech people tend to be very black-and-white when discussing ideology. Reality is more forgiving.
If you can get your hands on it, the opening chapters of “Practical Event Driven Microservices Architecture” by Hugo Rocha gives a reasonable high level view of when you might decide to break a domain out of a monolith. I wouldn’t exactly consider it the holy grail of technical reading, but he does a good job explaining the pros and cons of monolith v microservices and a bit of exploration on those middle grounds.
The reality is, as always, “it depends”.
If you’re a smaller team that needs to do shit real fast, a monolith is probably your best bet.
Do you have hundreds of devs working on the same platform? Maybe intelligently breaking out your domains into distinct services makes sense so your team doesn’t get bogged down.
And in the middle of the spectrum you have modular domain centric monoliths, monorepo multi-service stuff, etc.
It’s a game of tradeoffs and what fits best for your situation depends on your needs and challenges. Often going with an imperfect shared technical vision is better than a disjointed but “state of the art” approach.
Yeah that’s what allows me to afford to live here, lol
Only thing I’d say (as a cyclist) is that “skill issue” is not a great reply for all cases. My city swings from +40 to -40 and it’s not uncommon to see wind chills down below -50. Winter cycling is not always viable, which is why a robust transit network needs to include a variety of options.
Otherwise, this is a good comment.
If you’re going moderate or short distances in a city, odds are it will literally be faster to bike, even at a no sweat/leisurely pace.
Average speed of commuter traffic in cities is sub 20 kph.
I mean, they should block dissemination of illegally acquired, nefarious material designed as political interference from foreign interests. Just like turfing the Hunter Biden laptop leak was ultimately the right choice. Although I suppose you could argue this is more into “whistleblower” territory and Hunter’s laptop was more “revenge porn”, so maybe this is more justifiable for not blocking?
I guess regardless of the result of that debate, it’s still clear hypocrisy from Elongated Muskrat - “Twitter Files” all about how suppressing Hunter’s laptop was bad and “against free speech”, but now he’s doing the same thing for “The Good Guys”. Typical.
