It's not THAT complicated but I wouldn't call it dead simple. When you understand how git works internally yeah it's pretty simple but people usually start with the idea that it's a tool to put your code on a server to synchronize with other people and only later learn that you have both a local and a remote (or multiple remote) tree and how the tree really works.

I think the problem is most git 101 tutorials teach it wrong, IMO the best git tutorial is this: https://wildlyinaccurate.com/a-hackers-guide-to-git/

Unfortunately it's pretty dense so it's gonna scare off a lot of newbies.

These platforms are basically just one step removed from pure landlordism. Same goes for Uber and similar shit. The platforms themselves are usually cheap to maintain, the exception here might be Youtube since it does gobble up a whole lot of bandwidth and storage but come on nobody streams $10 worth of bandwidth a month.

She didn't mistreat thousands of warehouse employees or spy on and manipulate three generations with social media to do it.

Maybe, but most music industry jobs are kinda shit same as any other job. The people that help set up the stage, the people working on her makeup, costumes, the people working in the labels, cleanup crews after concerts, people doing marketing/promotion etc. they all contribute to her success. Sure it's overall probably a bit less exploitative than Amazon warehouses but exploitation still happens.

You don't make a billion dollars on your own.

Quite juvenile behavior from the devs.

The constant closing and reopening the issue was a bit weird but I didn't really see any hostility or toxic behavior, except from you getting pissy about it out of nowhere.

I need me some VST plugins to fuck around with but I'm not spending ~$100 per plugin. I can find some shitty torrent trackers on search engines but they tend to not have what I want and/or are filled with malware.

If the democrats truly are the only viable "left" option then the only reasonable course of action would be to burn the whole state apparatus down and start anew.

You won't advocate for that of course because the fact is you don't really care about things being better, you care about pretending to be on the moral high-ground, so vague platitudes about things getting better in the abstract you get from democrats is just enough for you, because you probably endure no economic hardship and politics is just an extension of sports to you.

From what I've heard from Google employees Google is really stringent with their coding standards and they usually limit what you can do with the language. Like for C++ they don't even use half the fancy features C++ offers you because it's hard to reason about them.

I guess that policy makes sense but I feel like it takes out all the fun out of the job.

Damn you're such a pathetic little baby lmao, you should have disengaged like 20 comments ago.

I've had pretty much the opposite experience. My friend has a macbook that he drops all the time and still works.

Also it's not like other brands are immune to denting, it's just kind of the nature of the material.

Kinda agree on the keyboard but I got used to it and also most brands have that type of keyboards nowadays anyway.

ThinkPads are far superior than MacBooks for longevity

Not sure that's true. I have a pretty top-of-the-line ThinkPad (3 years old) and it started falling apart after like a year of regular use. Maybe years ago that was true but nowadays I feel like everybody except maybe Apple has crap build quality.

It actually doesn't have to be. For example the way I use Github Copilot is I give it a code snippet to generate and if it's wrong I just write a bit more code and the it usually gets it right after 2-3 iterations and it still saves me time.

The trick is you should be able to quickly determine if the code is what you want which means you need to have a bit of experience under your belt, so AI is pretty useless if not actively harmful for junior devs.

Overall it's a good tool if you can get your company to shell out $20 a month for it, not sure if I'd pay it out of my own pocket tho.

You sound completely deranged.

I dunno people keep saying porn makes you have weird expectations from sex but I've never once met a person that wants sex exactly like it is in porn.

I mean I'm sure it happens but I don't think it's this epidemic people are making it out to be.

Also don't watch mainstream porn, go for the homemade stuff, it tends to be much more natural.

I've been arguing with some people over this whole Ukraine-Russia shit and somebody mentioned this.

What was the deal with this? Why did the USSR do this? What are the western history books not telling me here?

Also bonus question, what was the deal with the entire resettlement program? Why was it needed?
