Don't worry, it's not you. People who are quick to call someone racist are nearly always struggling internally with their own racism. To their credit they feel quite a lot of shame about that, but until it's resolved they can be quite unpleasant.

That's 25X revenues. According to a fintech banker, I spoke to this past week those multiples are just not getting done anymore. As to how UBS was able to pull a Musk (in a much cleaner fashion), I'm not sure.
The only way to faithfully film the book would be to make some sort of anthology series, and I don't think that format works well for big-budget prestige drama. As I've said elsewhere, might have been better to start with Prelude to Foundation, perhaps.

Why are the G7 not increasing the aid to Ukraine, to more quickly end the war and force Russia to settle?
It’s less than what any other reasonable and self-respecting country would do. Inhabitants of that area do not recognize Israel as the state they reside in, and certainly they are not Israeli citizens. This rule regards a zone which has been at war for decades and which had daily suicide attacks until very strict checkpoints were placed.
The allies could have backed down in WWII, handing major concessions to the Axis. Would we be better off today?

Backing down to a bully will only encourage and empower it further. The current situation in Europe is status quo in poor countries, so the world isn't ending...

It probably makes sense to modify that from “happy” to “willing”.
Eu is addicted to cheap Russian gas. Replacing with anything other than renewable will drive energy prices higher.

The second largest steel mill in the world closed today in Germany.
Because we fucking hat it with Russia. Yeah we could back down and then maybe they will send us some gas and then what? What will be their demand next time?

Yes we need to deal with this crisis by constructing enough nuclear power plants that we never need power again, and that means overriding all rules about planning permissions.

This means that energy prices will be higher than before this winter, and then lower and green forever after. Technically Europe still needs to import Uranium, but we can get that from anywhere and a single ship or aircraft can transport enough for it never to be an issue.
Jews from Europe and the former Soviet Union and their descendants born in Israel, including Ashkenazi Jews, constitute approximately 50% of Jewish Israelis.
From personal experience, I think one of the reasons psychedelics can help with depression is that when you are severely depressed, it feels permanent, like nothing will ever get better or even meaningfully different.

But then you have a psychedelic experience, and for a brief moment, things are very much different. And if the experience is even slightly positive, it reminds you that it’s still possible to feel something good, and that glimmer of hope can chip away at your entrenched fatalism.
What an incredible comment, thanks kragen! Good sources for anyone wanting to right realistic alternative history stories. Although I can't help but think that most people, ancient or otherwise, would me most interested in applications. The foundations, like atomic theory, or chemistry, require...something else. Curiosity? A culture that lauds discovery and motivates scientists at least in part with vanity? Greed? A desire for more, to conquer ones enemies? Science is very good at making better weaponry and more indirectly, for reducing scarcity for all, making larger populations, and so larger armies.
I know a few people who were in prison, some for serious crimes.

Based upon my very unscientific sample, many of these guys were pretty smart. It makes me wonder how their environment in school (peers and/or teachers) along with social pressure put some of them on that path.

I hear if smart people are not engaged in classes, they get bored rather quickly and start doing poorly.

When I was young, I remember many times teachers would focus on the kids having a hard time learning, which is understandable. But some of the smarter kids may decide "why bother" when not given attention they may crave.
Rent control in Copenhagen is perhaps different than in other places, as there is just a very light control to avoid crazy prices and scams.

I am the first one shouting about wokeness destroying shows but here it is not the case. the show is just cheap looking in the way its shot. why didnt they hire some teams from hbo?? the black elf character is actually cool and well acted, the dwarf character while horrible in the way they wrote it, is not really woke. its just bringing diversity to the show and definitly not something I am against.
The issue with characters you describe is linked to the whole thing though.

The philosophy behind the so called works IS to create a new type of hero, one that isn’t someone who takes responsibility, sacrifices, works hard and fails a lot.

That type of hero is purposefully removed from fiction because it contradicts what wokeness is about.
Where does it say ID in the constitution?
Things are inseparable. I mean you can write shallow stories, but anything attempting to map realistic worlds to fictional ones is going to have conflicts including those that are considered 'politics'.

The crux should be the writing, immersion, and ability to be invested in a story with these things.

I'm not in the UK but we are having a similar cost of living crisis in Ireland.

I'm happy to pay the price of solidarity with Ukraine.

I work with both Russian and Ukrainian people and none of them want this war.

People are dieing and being forced out of their homes. I know this is happing everywhere but I would like to support these people:
1 because I know people in that country and
2 because like Britain in the second world war they are fighting for some form of a fair democracy.

If that means I have to buy cheaper food and not have heating.. It's a small price to pay compared to what my friends are going through.
You’re being downvoted because his death wasn’t for “unknown reasons,” at least not that broadly. He was diagnosed with cancer, and he had pre operation complications that resulted in death. Surgery is complicated, bodies are complicated, it unfortunately happens. Starting conspiracy theories off the backs of a well liked, and imo amazing person, is unpopular.

So you think the west should've just let Russia take over Ukraine?

Even without the sanctions Russia would've still most likely disrupted gas & oil supply as long as the west supplied Ukraine's army.
None of the in-person stuff appears directly linked to Kiwi Farms. I hope they catch the perpetrators and hold them responsible.

I would also point out that Keffals is actively fundraising off this publicity, to the tune of $100,000 dollars so far. Many other big streamers have been SWATed or harassed. It is a normal part of streaming for many, unfortunately. No other streamers I follow post play-by-play updates of the harassment, as it just feeds the trolls and encourages more. Keffals stands alone in this regard. The moral hazard of the crowdfunding and publicity has me skeptical, especially in light of Keffals’ other activities.

Again, there is no evidence linking Keffal's SWATing to Kiwi Farms. Keffals is a popular streamer with a large audience who also happens to have had a Kiwi Farms thread. I hope they catch whomever made the fake call to police, so we can settle this.
Isn't it the employer's demand that everyone holding a position even somewhat related to software development have a CS degree the real mismatch?

I think this is starting to change, for instance, front-end developers being hired from a boot camp or similar program (although this seems nearly the opposite extreme).
Of course, but with non-corporate entities you can take precautions; see Open Source projects. Corporations, on the other hand, have economic incentives to screw you over, and eventually always will.

Basically swap what program is in the foreground on one screen at the same point you'd otherwise look at a different screen. Alt tab or whatever the keyboard shortcut is to see the docs, then again to go back to the editor.

It's slower and it's worse, but I write a fair amount of code on a laptop in hotel rooms and it works well enough. Most annoying things are probably the loss of scrolling test output on the second screen and difficulty doing multiway diff compares.
I'm seeing the same pattern I saw with Star Trek: Discovery (race and gender) and Captain Marvel (gender) - a critic would say 'I don't like the plot/logic/world/strength of the hero' and be accused of racism/sexism/not liking strong female characters, where this was untrue and just used to dismiss valid criticism. On the other hand, there was a contingent of people who did dislike it based on somewhat sexist or anti-woke reasoning, but as far as I could tell this was overall a small group. A bit of conflation later and, well, you get the worst of all worlds: critics who feel like they are being censored (or who are), and fans who will not accept the slightest criticism without slinging accusations of racism/sexism/whatever, along with a contingent who is deserving of the latter criticism but is more likely just laughing at the total chaos.

The actual quality of the show, on the other hand, almost ends up being irrelevant. Personally I usually wait about two seasons before judging a TV show.

"So, you can just [describes a completely different situation in a completely different country]. Amazing what you can get away with!"
I guess that depends on whether they are operating as software engineers or software artists.

Sure, an artist can have leeway for their creative efforts. But allowing artists to work on a muse-driven timeline is also why the stereotype of a "starving artist" exists.

Engineers on the other hand have some product with at least a baseline of utilitarian value. Those generally need timelines because somebody is planning on a delivery of that utility.

But I think both those are besides the point. You can have a structured process that also integrates creativity. I think treating them as mutually exclusive is a false dichotomy.

- Trying to scroll "past" it to push through any CSS padding issues
- Trying to tap the next button
- Toggling through different states to see if the button changes in any way to see if there is JS with a logic bug (spoiler: while the button did show up as expected, nothing changed it's colour or otherwise indicated that it was clickable. Holding the button just caused text on the page to be selected which confirmed that the button did not have the ability to be clicked)
- Reloading the page
- Choosing different answers for Q1-Q3
I think it would depend on the game you were running.

Monitor resolutions were low in the DOS days so a lot of the text and UI elements were relatively large to make them readable.

The virtual keyboard mapping would probably be the hard part.
Juul was/is a tobacco industry scam to make vaping more accessible and more likely to lead to tobacco addiction.

Juul started with all kinds of flavors, but then they were banned and only tobacco extract flavors were allowed.

Those extracts are more than flavor. They contain the same psychoactives which make tobacco smoking so addictive compared to vaping freebase nicotine — which Juul is not because it is an extract of tobacco nicotine salts to begin with.
Watching it happen over and over, my impression has been that:

(a) Creative leaders (producer, director, writer) hired for these projects chafe at having anyone tell them what to do (and this especially includes the source material!).

(b) Creative leaders hired for these projects are typically not themselves fans, and do not elevate anyone who is a fan to a position of authority, and so lack even an awareness of the material. And critically, an awareness of what current fans enjoyed in it. Which is sometimes a feeling or deeper than just "these specific characters or places."

(c) As big budget projects, and costly rights acquisitions to start with, there are powerful committees put in place to keep creative on the rails, who are even more (a) & (b) themselves.

As a result, there is literally no one in the room with a powerful voice who understands why so many people liked this thing.

Say what you want about recent Marvel & Star Wars, but Feige/Favreau/Filoni seem to have a better sense and balance of "Why did people like this thing originally?" and "What will attract people who aren't fans?"
I think it's best explained not by ideology as such, but by self-handicapping. If you're facing a hard exam that you have no idea if you can pass no matter how hard you try, you can study hard, and risk the humiliation of failing... or you can kick back, relax, do a little partying, do a little mildly illegal drugs. Then if you fail, you can say you weren't really trying, you didn't really care that much. And who knows, you might even still succeed, and then you get the satifaction of being so good you didn't even have to work hard!

For a modern Hollywood director, if you put in just a little obnoxiously "woke" stuff, just a pointless gender or race swap, or maybe make someone gay or trans who wasn't in the source material... Now if it fails just for being bad, you can claim it failed because of those handful of people who complained about it online.

So it's not that the "woke lobby" has that much power to force directors to "cast diversely" or something, it's just that it's a convenient excuse for everyone involved. Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM, and nobody ever got fired for making a film look a bit more like affluent modern America.

I think the hodgepodge, piecemeal nature of software development tooling is both a strength and a downfall. Something like JetBrains Space appeals to me at this point in my career, because I really just want to write the software and have everything else handled by default. I don't want to be gluing together services just to get work done.

It's also appealing to me as a way to align everyone on the same tools. One of the most effective places I ever worked, had unified tooling across the developers, and was also working exclusively in one software framework. That made them an absolute powerhouse, and able to share knowledge and streamline work in a way you can't do in other environments.

because if we had not done this, ukraine would have been obliterated, and russia would have been knocking at the EU's door. having war on our doorstep, and being called up because poland is being attacked is not what I want.

The Inflation issues we have are partly because of russia, partly because we have a stupidly designed pricing structure. From my understanding we only import about 20% of our gas.

However global gas price sets the entire uk's electricity price. Gas sometimes accounts for 50% -60% of the UK's electricity generation, but that shouldn't result in a 1000% rise in costs.

I was asking the GP, Ive watched the first 2 episodes and I really don’t see an objective reason for ranking it below a 5 or so based on the current showing we had.

I also don’t particularly see any wokeness being peddled.

The problem isn’t wokeness it’s lazy and bad writing e.g. SheHulk which is just cringe as fuck.

I swear if the original trilogy would’ve come out today people would claim that the “I am no man” line was peddling wokeness despite the fact that it’s exactly how it played out in the book with the only change being the omission of living before man.
