This. Check out the "Psychological horror" tag for some excellent examples of trolltagging.

That is a Seven Nation Army.

In a 1000 years, the robots that take over after us will think this is really funny.

Yeah, that's my reading as well.

If you're optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it's absolutely called for. Not that I've actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I've never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.

That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they're already costing the function call anyway...

...so what do you use instead?

No, really, what browser can you use where none of the influential developers involved is some kind of asshole and/or ultracapitalist? Chrome? If Chrome is off the table, wouldn't that "infect" all the Chromium-based browsers? Firefox is out for the same reasons Brave is, I guess, due to the same guy.

Where is the line drawn? At what point does any software become okay to use? Linus Torvalds used to be a real cunt, though I've heard his attitude towards us mortals has improved over the last decade or so. Does that mean I can use Linux on Thursdays now?

This purity testing is stupid because you readily use a bunch of random crap where you have no idea how bigoted or not the creators are. It is literally impossible to vet everything. I don't use Brave, but it has nothing to do with this random C-level asshole. Being some kind of asshole is a requirement for a C-level position anyway, so let's not pretend like Mitchell Baker is a saint or that Sundar Pichai walks on water. It's all the same mush.

In the end, I care if the software is good. Firefox serves my needs just fine, so that's what I use most of the time. Not as a political stance, but because I'm comfortable with the software. I bet at least 18 people involved secretly hate cats. Oh no, that means my purity is compromised. Oooof Nooooof!

Hah, that's part of what I want to do with z0rz.net

Makes me want to learn how to say "Go fuck yourself" in a Native American language.

I use tabs because I prefer 4-space indents and others might prefer 2-space indentation or the gross and unacceptable 6-space indentation.

If more than one person is working on a code base, there will likely be more than one preference, and with tabs everyone gets to just set their own tab width.

Yes, even the 3-space savages.

Yep, and we kinda get that same sort of dopamine hit here, just not the global karma, because there is no central place to collect global points!

I'll be filing a GDPR right-to-be-forgotten request, so Reddit has to do it for me.

I've done a GDPR information request for all data related to me. It can take a while. Once I have it, I will go through it as best I can. Most likely, I'll then file a GDPR right-to-be-forgotten request.

If you delete your account, they can still retain all the data, they just take away your ability to modify it. With a right-to-be-forgotten request, either they yeet all your data (should be the same as the information request returned), or they are in violation of law.

Sure, reddit doesn't operate from within the EU, but I bet they'd still like to do business in the EUR zone.
