this seems like semantics and corporate hand-waving -- that's not what is conveyed to the user in what i have observed as the context of paid services and the promises asserted around what a purchase gets a customer. in the subsidized

if you send your personal shopper to a store, and the business is... closed for business, or refusing you entry, and you just... go in anyway. that's called breaking and entering, and generally frowned upon -- by-passing the "clos

this is such a wild comment -- there are countless products where regardless of purchase -- the user is still served advertisements. i have no idea what reality, or timeline, this comment belongs in. broadcast television, paid streaming ent

uhhh, while covid affected things this certainly has not been the case for my life at all. the last 7 years of my life have been filled with nothing but community. from skate diys and meetups, and other outdoor activities to, skate diys, ba

my recent experience with flash and using it to prototype a c++ header i was developing: - it was great to brainstorm with but it routinely introduced edits and dramatic code changes, often unnecessary and many times causing regressions to

programmers, and good ones imo, are almost always polyglots on some level, and i tend to think have a better than average ability to even pick up natural languages. programming languages have a small, manageable and finite set of vocabulary

literally a good majority of existing embedded software coupled to applications in safety -- devices used by fire safety and first responders.

because i work on a legacy project that is coupled to safety regulations and other quality guarantees, and we cannot just simply roll out a solution ported to c++ on the next release, or even tenth, so perhaps we make it work until we can.

i work in an embedded space in the context of devices and safety. if it were as simple as "just use c++ for these projects" most of us would use a subset, and our newer projects try to make this a requirement (we roll our own ETL

they are contextual expressions often emphasizing an abstract though equally shared reality -- emotional states. sorta like how "doch" functions in german sometimes. and i definitely will debate it being universally understood sem

this is just downright false unless a transfer occurred or you are trying to get into a venue's pavilion, and security's being extra detailed. source: literally seen quite a few hundreds of concerts.

sure -- tmux is very much so crucial to my dev workflow, which is primarily a terminal-based dec env: nvim + lsp + daps + snippets + other extensions that are useful for dev. i have splits for dev, splits for building and testing, splits fo

yeah, and also one's personal responsibility to make sure they are indeed learning and practicing. implying i need to be dependent on a school to help me retain learning is a concept that is foreign to me. if i had that kind of depen

this is fundamentally not true. while math has a tone of rote learning in the same sense one may learn grammars in their native tongue over time, formulating proofs or fluent articulations of quantities involves the same problem solving and

this is solved by branching your feature again and rebasing from that or the feature original in case the rebase gets fucked . you don't have to treat rebases or merges as this black hole of "i have no recourse for not getting it

this does not sound like a problem with git, but a problem with culture and developer practices, and bad workflows. in my 8 years of using git as a primary tool for vc, i have not once run into confusion on how to switch branches, create br

perhaps it is time to take some personal accountability instead of lamenting the complexity in order to avoid the (overwhelming) challenge and learning. yes, to understand an application, you must also understand the underlying data structu

this reads more like you're anxiously anticipating criticism bc you've been given feedback in a bad manner before. i interpreted nothing in OPs post, or condescending. as someone who works largely in C and C++ codebases, these kin

at this rate you might as well parade yourself naked around town or city, and advertise your medical history so that you can clearly demonstrate to the world your sanity.

it's funny what happens when people experience the cognitive dissonance to justify enabling someone with trump's ethos (or lack thereof). everyone wants to pretend they have one, while simultaneously shirking accountability for hi

i don't buy that any situation is so hopeless, you're powerless to improve it. at least in the context of this field and its line(s) of work. sounds a lot more like learned hopelessness making it harder to respond to stress with r

this is really a short-sighted and uninformed take on what games have been successful and praised by fans over the years. four of the most successful (perhaps iconic) games in history do not exactly meet your description in any meaningful w

no one has really insulted you, so the playing the victim part is also coming across as more obstinate -- what you are experiencing is people becoming frustrated with the assertions. you have been sufficiently approached, your points addre
