Keyword _public_ And I'm here for it (as a Portland resident). My sympathy for the homeless/addicted population here has gone to basically 0.

(Off topic to ECS) This description is kind of funny to me. If you’re using noclip, who cares about how much things cost? You’re already cheating.

I made an account and can’t seem to figure out where this magical community actually is? It seems like I can just link other open services? And for some reason I can receive email? Not a single other person(‘s content) in sight though.

The only thing I ever wanted to be in my entire life was a Good Developer. I started at 11ish and have basically done nothing else or cared about nothing else since then. Fast forward to _some years later_, I definitely did that. So what ne

I asked a clarifying question and then made an assertion about a behavior. I personally wouldn’t call that “aggressive”, but to each their own I suppose.

If you're unable to articulate why something is tasteless beyond "because I think it is", it sounds like you're sort of just making things up. Which is fine. Clutch those pearls. But maybe examine your behavior as well?

> To clarify I find it tasteless and edge, i.e. a bad choice. This doesn't mean I have a problem with it, nor does it mean I'm offended by it or think others would be offended by it or hate it or anything like that. If it doesn

Can you explain how this works to a person that knows relatively little about video encoding and streaming/adtech?

Similarly, people that dismiss valid criticism because it doesn't match their personal opinions seem like dummies to grown ups. Unsure if it means they are or are not dummies, though.

I do not agree with most of this post, and I believe it is indeed “just spitballing”, but I appreciate the intent. Programming is a set of thoughts and behaviors that exist in many aspects of life unrelated to programming. The group you’re

Maybe it’s just the human experience. Do plumbers think they’re wired differently?

Programmers love to think they’re different from other people.

It's never worked well for me. Lots of results just flatout don't/won't work, not even in a nuanced way.

Again, this is the opposite of my experience and I’m sorry you’ve been treated this way.

I’m sick of seeing Taylor Swift referenced as anything more than a mediocre preteen icon, but we all have to deal with things we don’t like.

Exactly. So if JS has been able to do something for a long time, why would someone create new tools in different languages that do similar things? Because they don't want to write JS... It's like you forgot what we were discussing

It would probably take 40-50k to make the house legal to rent (at least, from what I understand about the requirements to rent it). Which would then just mean I have to own it for longer.

It's amusing that this text chain is about derivations when in reality we can reference a direct quote. We're not deriving any meaning here. I'll leave it as an exercise to you to find that direct quote, as it'll be sure

These comments are Twitter-reply level bad. “Be a man”, said unironically.
