  Well, there’s also “punk goes pop” stuff

  My favorite. Those lyrics were surprisingly unsettling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

  Congratulations I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I know there is no mandatory DRM on Steam either, so if a publisher wants to they can just make their game be portable and not require Steam to even be installed. Pretty sure all the re-releases that use DOSBox or ScummVM are like this, for example.

  There’s a spectrum going from someone just posting stuff and getting paid to shameless exploitation of vulnerable people through parasocial relationships. The latter can be very lucrative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those poor plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue that knowledge is more than that, otherwise books or state machines could also be said to know things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just do it ✅⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this one of those hacking tools?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a basket with fresh fruit in it right there in the break room!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes up a word⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never left school, mentally and physically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel betrayed...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s like RMS and PMP for speakers. 600 W*

  ^* Briefly, before it blows up^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learn how to count with Bill Gates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could shorten that to Windows NP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learn how to count with Bill Gates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if they will call the next versions 12 and especially 13. Alternative names:

  • Windows AI
  • Windows Azure Blue, Red and Yellow
  • Windows Edge 20XX
  • Windows. Just Windows.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculus made easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, my issue is with the presentation, not the actual content. I’ve also experience my share of elitism from people who seem to think that you either get it or are too stupid/lazy, there couldn’t possibly also be an issue with the teaching methods and notation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculus made easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Algebraic notation breaks just about every rule programmers are taught about keeping their code human readable.

  • Variable and function names should be descriptive
  • Don’t cram everything into one line
  • Break up large statements
  • Consistency is key
  • Don’t be fancy for fancy’s sake, don’t over-optimize (this is for learning, remember?)
  • Add in-line comments for lines that aren’t easily grasped
  • Be explicit when possible
  • …

  And then people wonder why so many just don’t “get it”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antybooties⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The next question is going to be what the maximum number of steps an ant can store is and what happens when it overflows…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE 👏👏👏⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate your whimper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT support work be like⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IT workers != tech bros

  But I don’t know either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨local hunger games construction almost complete⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The law really need to be changed when it comes to this stuff, I’d rather take the inefficiency or even corruption than this (also inefficient and corrupt) nonsense.
