Different than what's in a city, and generally not as enjoyable if you're just passively consuming it. Lots of motorsport (auto manufacturing was huge in the area, very long tradition of it), fishing/hunting, local music (som

Is there no culture, or no "culture"? When you talk to people from a major metropolitan area about culture outside of a major metropolitan area, they're very often not talking about culture. They're talking about enterta

The last thing Michigan/Detroit needs is our housing market blown up by tech workers with exorbitant salaries/buying power, and our industrial legacy supplanted by tech grift. There isn't a place for so many of our people in

You can't ever win with people that freak out when they see a settings menu. There's no point trying to appease them.

They absolutely should be doing this but they're never going to. For a huge number of people, this is Team Blue vs Team Red. Those born-drunk fuckup hick racists are Team Red so their role in the game is to be a verbal punching bag. Th

I never said that code review was useless, I said "yes, I do" to your question as to whether or not I "trust other developers to write good code without mistakes without getting it reviewed by others". Of course I can tr

I would be willing to live and let live for the sake of being practical, if the tolerance for (and even active drive towards) low quality slop didn't keep pushing further and further into places it shouldn't. People that accept it

I'm primarily an embedded firmware developer. Gas/electric power products. Ada codebase, so it's off the beaten path but nothing academic by any stretch of the imagination. I have a comprehensive reference manual that describ

Yes, actually, I do! I trust my teammates with tens of thousands of hours of experience in programming, embedded hardware, our problem spaces, etc. to write from a fully formed worldview, and for their code to work as intended (as far as an

That's a needlessly uncharitable interpretation, but it is an interesting point. I think that increased rates of low (and high) grade neurodivergence in men, and society expecting eccentric behavior from men, especially as they age, re

Of course it didn't work. At best, the dorks doing this think there's a gamechanging LLM application to justify the insane valuations right around the corner if they just scrape every backwater site they can find. At worst, they&#

No, I couldn't handle the mountains of roundworm and bacteria infested piss and shit in the ceilings where they set up a latrine. I couldn't handle the trails of blood throughout the building from their fighting. I couldn't h

The natural angle is cool if you don't want to lounge around in your yard. The pollen, ticks, mice, raccoons, weeds, etc. are generally not what people are looking to deal with in urban/suburban living. I have a shop on a couple o

Whether or not Robinhood could do it isn't the right question. The better question is whether or not it would make sense for Robinhood or any other actor to front run microscopic retail trades. Do you understand how front running helps

In the same comment, you acknowledge why it can't run circles around the 25 year old half ton. The fucking hitch can break off while towing in a way that wouldn't happen on any other production truck. It is a bad truck.

The site has performed more or less the same after the staff cuts as it did before. I say this as somebody who has used it nearly daily for ten-ish years now. Most users I know have the same experience. Maybe you noticed something if you&#x

It's an overbuilt stainless body and underbuilt aluminum frame that is not capable of what a $5000 beater truck is. It's a bad truck.

My problem is that things don't do what I need them to do any more. I've spent years learning how to run a computer like the devil just for it to constantly amount to nothing because some asshole decided that everything needs to t

If your assessment of role of armor in Ukraine is that it's useless because of drone developments, you're just not playing with a full deck of cards. You can think what you want and I can't stop you, I just want to say that y

You are comically off-base on this, man. We are talking about a nuclear bomber. They put fucking nukes on these things. We have 70 years of operational history showing that the 8 engine arrangement works, and there is no good reason to make

I really don't know what you're trying to say. Is the implication that I don't care about the impoverished black kid that has to grow up in a world with highly prevalent incidental crime-related gun violence? If that's

It's not that it's less serious, it's that it comes from a different circumstance and affects demographics that many gun control advocates don't actually have any interest in helping.

I wasn't reading anything into it at all. I'm just saying that the vast majority of people wouldn't consider it a school shooting. They're almost always talking about an active shooter targeting students. If you want m

Calling a crime-related shooting in the parking lot of a school at 1am on a Saturday a school shooting is not what most people are discussing when talking about school shootings.

Yes. >The definition used for the K-12 SSDB is: a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims (including zero), time, day of the week, or reason.

We've been starting code bases in Ada for embedded consumer power generation products for the last year. Huge improvement over C, nobody on the team has any regrets. Just because it isn't topping the TIOBE index doesn't mean

People say this to feel better about the situation with zero regard for the insidious societal issues it causes. It's absolutely true but it's basically never productive to make a point of it. For your own good and the good of soc
