I see comparisons to the red scare/communism/mccarthyism all the time, personally. In addition to the other comparisons you mention.

I'm not sure both sides-ism is helpful here. I appreciate the perspective that right-wingers have been feeling this fear, and I think that's real and something that should be taken seriously. And also, as with so many things trump

So “repeal and replace” with no plan for the “replace”. Sounds familiar. Reforming the government to be more efficient is great. Simply killing off large swaths of programs that real people benefit from and rely on with no plan for those pe

This was the only way I could study in college. I had “study groups” but in reality all we did was sit quietly next to each other working through our own material. Worked amazingly. I’m not ADHD, but that’s probably a bigger discussion

I'm not sure if I would call this "simple" but I appreciated the walk through. I understood a lot of it at a high level before reading, and this helped solidify my understanding a bit more. Though it also serves to highlight

Seriously. He parroted his boss to the best of his ability. I'm sure trump is perfectly pleased with his "performance".

Whether it serves a "useful" purpose or not has no bearing on its legitimacy. It's used to transfer massive amounts of currency between anonymous accounts. It's exactly the sort of thing that needs to be regulated.

This is inline with what other entities (Canadian and Mexican governments) have done when threatened with tariffs.

Why did we move away from this model of web development? If I remember back that far, it seems like fairly soon after this was when the meta starting telling us that frames were bad, and using <table> was bad, etc. It all honestly see

I'm 38. I fell in love with programming when I was 11 or 12. Just hand transcribing BASIC code out of a book into a little Intel 386 laptop with a hard drive measured in Megabytes. The magic for me has never really stopped. Throughout

That's been my experience too, but I would guess the problem of "here is a ton of context, produce a small amount of code" is significantly better suited for LLMs than "here is a problem, produce a ton of code".

My last name is a popular Irish name with an apostrophe in it. I have tons of issues with my name in forms. I'm basically a walking SQL injection detector. But also I've started to drop the apostrophe in most of my online profiles

In the same way that there is not a neat line where land meets sea, yet any reasonable person can distinguish the difference between the two and understand that they are not the same.

It's hard to me to read all of this and conclude that this is in any way related to or equal to Elon ripping down entire federal agencies. I agree that there's some cause for concern and oversight, and that you're describing

They would only hike the price by $50, not just blanket 10% for no reason. The CEO called out 10% because the tariffs themselves are higher % of COGS.
