It’s less about need and more that it’s a feature to help you more easily understand your memory allocations and when you are getting a reference to something vs a copy

Big missing con for GraphQL here — optimization. Doing the right thing in simple cases is easy; in more complex cases you’re looking at having to do custom operations based on query introspection which is an even bigger pain in the ass than

I don’t care if it seems political, it’s reality. This is just the most effective tool the government has for manufacturing consent at the moment. This is the just the thing we’re already clearly willing to give up civil liberties for in an

Just wait until they tell us that encryption back doors are necessary to stop racism and watch as half the population claps excitedly for the total elimination of privacy in the U.S.

That’s a fair point, should probably just include stuff like than in READMEs at this point

Patterns are good but the minutiae that most linters deal with aren’t that. A discussion over formatting rules is more often than not a distraction and a waste of time — if it’s not there, better discussion can come out of code review.

To me it seems less like they think this ought to be forced upon or adopted by the entire Ruby community or whatever. The big benefit to me would be as a maintainer of an open source project. I can use this, & I never have to consider w

Go’s fmt seems to do a pretty good job in this area

Personally I like it, none of this stuff is worth my time to worry about configuring.

I actually saw someone with a relatively large following on Twitter the other day suggest that the government give mandatory hormone blockers to all children so that they more easily decide their gender. I wouldn’t even call them the far le

Maybe they do this because they know the “reality” presented to them is also a lie, but right-wing lies are the only alternative they are presented with. Using more facts and data to back up a fundamentally false narrative doesn’t make it a

Pretty easy to say that when you pretend the “Fake News” coming from the other side is just the truth lmao. They outright lie for months to influence election results as well, but it’s fine when they do it because they’re the mainstream lie

If it were any other company I wouldn't think much of it but when they're closely connected to intelligence agencies & the founder has openly expressed anti-democratic ideas the number of creepy coincidences at least makes me

I'm not saying there's anything there but it does come across as a bit ominous when someone w/ that connection is essentially working for a guy who openly said "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatib

Anyone else find it a little disturbing that the guy that runs Palantir in the UK is Oswald Mosley's grandson?

Not really sure what good can come out of technology built for surveillance and manufacturing consent though.

Who cares if they’re “right wing” the reality is that tech companies possess enough information and power over how we interact with information that they can do incredibly destructive things. They actively cooperate with authoritarian intel

Even “advancements” these companies might produce now probably wouldn’t be particularly great considering that they’re borderline evil

The Federal Reserve is just one tool used to achieve this. One of the most important ones sure, but to put too much emphasis on it is missing the forest for the trees.

The idea that any such tool wasn’t designed primarily as a weapon first is disinformation in and of itself.

The idea that the pandemic is bad because of failures of individuals to follow mandates or whatever and not a failure of government policy is idiotic.

It’s certainly going to seem that way when your economy is shut down and there isn’t government assistance making up the difference.

I don’t think the U.S. has those shared beliefs anymore. We did, but now we’re just a shopping mall built on the grave of a country & the elites that did it have us blaming each other instead of them.

Did those supporters just barge into the capital on their own though? Or were they directed to do this to create a specific political outcome, just like the naive WSB “investors”?

Someone doesn’t necessarily have to be dead for this to work either, which is a little disturbing. Or in my case I want to hook this up to my work Slack so I can take a bathroom break without someone complaining about me being AFK for a cou

I kind of doubt Deno will see much serious production usage. There’s not much practical point to it from a business perspective. The only way it would become popular for most use cases would be if it had Node compatibility, which doesn’t se

I know this is a little bit of a tangent but after all this I have no intention of using a Red Hat derivative again. Debian is fine and perfectly stable.
