People want Trump for the same reason they hate Biden.

They are simply unwilling to admit what their candidate has done since Biden took office.

corsicanguppy ,

I understand our voting system. None of what you said mathematically proves anything.

So, once they DO prove it you just refuse to listen.

I've tried to debate this type of person. Eventually people just stop wasting their time and spread the word that it's pointless. Watch for a situation you may misinterpret as no one wanting to challenge you because of your debate skills; you're only half right.

Scientists discover near-Earth asteroid hours before it exploded over Berlin ( www.livescience.com )

In the wee morning hours on Sunday (Jan. 21), a tiny asteroid came hurtling through the sky and smashed into Earth's atmosphere near Berlin, producing a bright but harmless fireball visible for miles around. Such sightings typically occur a few times a year — but this one was unique because it was first detected by scientists...

Asteroid is?

Apparently it's comma splices.

why would you store comments in git?

Oh. Oh ha ha ha ha you just don't know 'checkout' from 'check out'. Clean out your desk.

Violent video games decrease stress hormones, study finds ( www.psypost.org )

In a surprising twist to the long-debated topic of video game violence, a recent study suggests that playing violent video games might actually decrease stress hormones in some players. Contrary to popular belief, the study found no increase in aggressive tendencies, indicating a more complex relationship between video game...

This.

I used to be great at shooters; I'd pull off some ridiculous lucky shot and get accused of botting.

Now I play other games when I have a gap between projects. It's fun, it's mindless, and the cacophony of images swirling past my attention settles down in a respite that meditation can't give me.

I can't tell you whether or not the violent imagery has or will break my brain faster or slower than karate or the army did. Why don't we work on the big picture now and work the fine edges later.

Back button.

corsicanguppy ,

Yes.

These posts are the "I voted for peace" decorative lapel button of the '60s and '70s. These posts were the leading edge in the '90s and a little of the '00s.

Now they're tiresome. It's like people who've come late to the party and want their fanfare; people who came last in the race and proclaim themselves the leaders. The race is over, the banners are down, the spotlight's off and the newsmedia's gone home. No need to proclaim victory, nor virtue-signal inclusion in a group that isn't exclusive.

corsicanguppy ,

That's what those 'defence rifles' are used for. Got it.

Quit trying to nullify votes.

Installing almost anything* on Windows requires the equivalent of sudo, same as Linux.

I feel like you're not sure how system software like ssh and a user's personal game software can install differently in different places, and where one needs no root access to install at all. Go see how mac does it.

Compare this to gasoline. Same engine, right?

For cars older than a decade, is it or is it not marginally better than inefficient and toxic gasoline?

You want any shipping to back heavily on rail for any distance, don't you?

State laws are factoring into college choices for young adults ( www.nbcnews.com )

One survey shows as many as 73 percent of young adults are taking state abortion laws into account when making decisions about where to go to college. Savannah Sellers reports on one of the most important decisions in the lives of young students and their families.

I love how you're beggaring the very question.

I'd say look to science to fill in the learning gaps, but it's already too late.

whoosh

corsicanguppy ,

it's not as brutal a construct as the other Sales-Bro trash we see: 'the ask', 'the spend', etc. It's too bad that no matter how much we mock the soulless people who parrot that crap, it's just our dumber friends who won't learn anyway.

The privacy aspect is less clear, but probably better

I love how dividing by an unknown somehow makes a bigger number for you. The bias is leaking.

People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor.

Careful. I'll correct my neighbour's spelling, too . :-)

Is anyone else caught in a weird Venn diagram of Imposter Syndrome and furious indignation and disdain for actual imposters in your field?

Context: I'm a second year medical student and currently residing in the deepest pit in the valley of the Dunning-Kruger graph, but am still constantly frustrated and infuriated with the push for introducing AI for quasi-self-diagnosis and loosening restrictions on inadequately educated providers like NP's from the for-profit...

corsicanguppy ,

We use our NPs like project managers; or, in a way that is progressive and not a death panel, a health manager. Get tests, pass results and ideas back to the GP who signs off on them, go get more tests, book a surgery, line up everything for a referral, suggest drug mods and swaps, etc. My mom just got one and she's finally sorting her shit out. It's so great to have like a tiger parent running your medical life.

“For this too, public-private cooperation will be the key.”

I'm sorry, but we can't defend the people of Darfur because it would affect this quarter's profits. Also, all infantry to take a 10% pay cut.

corsicanguppy ,

You can. I

  1. opened gMaps
  2. grabbed my lat/long
  3. corrected the nearby URL because in it's always wrong when on desktop
  4. found the building I was in is apparently 1.3 km away, which will affect my walk to the loo

But the facility being wrong is secondary; it's possible.

Outside of America, cops need a union because, when they don't, we end up with a national police force that has the distinction of being the best-trained on the continent AND the lowest-paid at the same time; and without post-traumatic care or an organized legal fund against what is a remarkable stream of false-arrest complaints (which must of course be heard but so many are junk). Without even the shitty union they have to give them nearly nothing, these underpaid mental cases will leave the force either in a straightjacket, in a body bag or in handcuffs.

Let's agree that this isn't ideal.

In short, like every job, the employer is kinda treating you like shit unless you can bargain collectively. Let's do ambulance attendants next.

Nope.

Nope.

Take up non-feature security-only maintenance.

This isn't hard. SCO and Sun did exactly this.

Prince in his post said Pietsch’s dismissal wasn’t “anywhere close to perfect,” and that the company will learn from its missteps.

Will they, though?

And I'd readily watch that all day.

What are they releasing?

Having VP Harris safely in the shadows like Mr Cheney was hasn't been good for her exposure and for building cred. But they needed to do that to appease the racist rednecks ... who weren't going to vote for her anyway.

You could have saved so much typing by ranting about red pills and blue pills.

I work with a product enjoying a 27 year support window.

That's WAY more than 2 days.

I quit my job nearly a year ago, but RTO was the symptom of a larger micromanaging-asshat problem that appeared after a short coup in management.

Still, moved to a new job with familiar peers from an old job where the toxic asshattery self-corrected during the pandemic: micromanaging dicks couldn't cope with mandated WFH and got themselves new jobs, so the only ones left were actually good managers. WFH was just the symptom of good management, and the canary in the coal mine.

This shop kept 1% desks as 'hotel' spots, and a rotating stuckee to receive packages, but the rest of the space was given back; and it's now hiring from across the country to get the best talent.

It's the comma splices that get me.

Never trust a statement from someone who says 'literally'.

BANNED FOR NECROING

I've seen fora so ADHD they lock threads after a month or something. This is comical, given I work in deployment and management of enterprise OSes, which typically lock versions as maintenance branches at the start of their support window. Solaris10 will die after a TWENTY-SEVEN YEAR support window, but it's typically a decade.

But if "necroing" is to update a thread after an arbitrarily-short time, and if people get banned for it, then the admins of that forum are naive and stupid. The way I solved a problem with my TheForeman installation (what junk) a few months ago leveraged something from 20 years ago.

I'm a fan of usenet's "comp" tree, anyway. Forum threading has always come off as weird, and the format has always seemed a little emoji-heavy.

corsicanguppy ,

now I had to keep up with a bag that held all my attachments.

That seems to be what they want. Or, where do you keep your USBc<->3.5mm conversion dongle if not in the bag with your headphones, lens clip, etc -- in your kitchen drawer.

corsicanguppy ,

taken from us? Actually unique designs for phones

It's like they want to make everything the same but won't commit to having identical form-factor so my battery case will fit the new phone.

Ironically Apple's been the best in preserving another company's hardware compatibility, which is two things they'd usually neither support (missing out on a hardware deal) or recognize (another company).

As our [Regional] Health Officer said here, "If you're a doctor who doesn't believe in [medicine], you should find a new job."

We have so few doctors that we don't need to waste time with quackery, even on the provider side.

The key to fighting pseudoscience in people who have it in them to choose considered-reasoning instead of ideology-addiction/prejudice is empathy.

I find I can reduce the effects of non-determinism by choosing mockery every time.

I've been bingeing some Silent Witness and Unforgotten and, while Canadians use both Yank and Brit phrasing, I've reeeeally been rocking out the rhyming slang.

Like "Septic", even when it's someone else on the news.

Politics is for US Politics

So we use USPolitics for the world politics, then? Is that how it works?

corsicanguppy ,

Only if the doctor existed.

corsicanguppy ,

But, we have free vaccines.

My pharmacy is 80m from my door, and I rolled in and got it for free. Flu too, in the same sitting.

Oh. I'm not in America though.

The question - borrowing from the Rorschach character - is not whether Blahaj defeds from programming.dev; it's whether programming.dev can be free of blahaj .

I say Let it. Blahaj will be happier and, maybe, we will too.
