> Pretty cool of you to share your experiences bladegash. I always thought they wouldn't let people with mental health conditions into those environments. Shows what I know. Some mental health conditions, like mine, don’t really sho

Yep, my thoughts as well. And I say this as someone who not only has a chronic mental health disorder that sometimes manifests as paranoia, but someone who used to work in the IC for 10 years (it has been a while since then). Is it possible

Small correction, but there are actually four states (CA being one of them) where you can avoid law school by what is called “reading the law”. It entails more or less doing an apprenticeship with a practicing attorney or judge and meeting

To clarify, it doesn’t create a commit and is only usable within actions. I have always used the GH action VSCode extension for it, but I believe from the API, you would call the below endpoint using a classic/non-fine grained PAT that

Unrelated, but another interesting one is any non-admin contributors being able to add (and I believe update) secrets in a private repo for use in GH actions. It can’t be done via the UI, but can be done via the API or VSCode extension. Whe

I don’t think correlation = causation in your anecdote. Care to provide some examples of people who were “cured” of Crohns through diet alone? I have had Crohns for nearly four years with it in remission for the last two years. Diet and oth

You hit the nail on the head, but think aside from information being more accessible to analyze/share when it isn’t classified/there isn’t a need to protect sensitive sources and methods, is the benefit vis-a-vis translations. Fin

I guess I was more including Usenet as a part of the progression, not necessarily categorizing as a BBS. Fair enough on the notice two, but I think people (or at least I) more generically use “BBS” to describe message boards/forums. An

Funny enough, BBSs were the way many of the players on WoW servers pre-cross realm would communicate/flame each other outside the actual game. When I started online gaming with an old multiplayer tank game called Tanarus, we used Usene

Ah, gotcha, thank you for clarifying. That makes much more sense and I think it is a fair correlation to draw!

I am not sure what your point is? They are two very distinct and independent animation studios, which OP seemed to be aware of.

by bladegash 3y ago
Huh? Disney Animation Studios (not Pixar) has made three movies in the last ten years that are among the highest grossing movies of all time (Frozen, Zootopia, and Frozen II). In terms of quality, anecdotally two of my personal favorite Dis

I am not sure that I agree life is quite as black and white to where that maxim can always hold true. I think we can agree that intent/means used to achieve an outcome certainly do matter (more deonotological/Kantian philosophical

Certainly a fair point on mindset and I’m sure it will vary depending on where you work. I generally agree with you, but wonder if the viewpoints we each described are not mutually exclusive. The viewpoint you are describing sounds along th

Having had worked in DC much of my career, more specifically within the IC, I think more likely they believe in a general utilitarian philosophy that “the ends justify the means”. It is a common Western world view to begin with, but my pers

Otherwise known as lying. IMO, lying crosses the line to “gaslighting” when the intent is to make the person feel as though their perception is wrong or they’re going crazy. Think people have gotten a bit silly with their overuse of the ter

Are you planning to be equivalent in notoriety/influence as Martin Luther King Jr? If not, the motivation/incentives for domestic law enforcement to target you aren’t really there. It would be a waste of their time and finite reso

Why can’t they? Sure, they can’t just call up the FBI or other US law enforcement agencies and refer the matter. However, they can absolutely use the threat of disclosure of sensitive information to blackmail or otherwise coerce someone. Th

Of course, and you are right on many/most accounts. However, it is worth mentioning that it is definitely a dangerous game to play, even if the government doesn’t do anything. Government contracting world is pretty cut throat and all i

There is a bit more to the requirement than the company being owned by a woman, namely the requirements for women to be in control of the day to day operations of the business. It is a similar requirement for veteran owned small businesses

Hah, slightly off topic, but I was there from 09-10 and remember that same journey from MCBH -> Manas -> Leatherneck -> COP -> Patrol Base. I honestly think Leatherneck may have been the worst out of that experience. Some of the

Not who you responded to, but trust me, I would if I could still use Vue professionally to where I could justify the time in my work and/or personal projects. I was a huge fan of Vue 2 and Nuxt, but the work world has been heavily favo

Yep, same! I will say, getting everything playing nicely in terms of TypeScript, ESM, CJS, etc. was a bit challenging on the first go around, but isn’t the fault of Vite (at least not entirely). As an example, if you’re used to CRA being se

Really enjoy working with Vite and it works great with React (many think it’s geared towards Vue, which perhaps it was at one point). Made the switch after some frustrating behavior coming from CRA and having zero flexibility with configura

Used to play an awesome online tank game in the late 90s called Tanarus. It was also built by Verant Interactive and rumor had it was a test bed for developing EQ’s eventual net code. Tanarus was eventually what got me into EQ, then later i

Unfortunately I don’t - it was over a decade ago at this point. They were pretty large blue/turquoise gel capsules though.

I’m sure at the end of the day that would be the case in most sane legal systems. However, it does seem almost impractical in reality for anyone to do anything about it (kind of like Uber/Lyft/Airbnb making something so commonplac

I don’t mind the cost although I do wish it was a single charge along with my existing GH subscription instead of separate ones. Seems like a missed opportunity to bundle things. I don’t care about getting a discount, just dislike being bil

I’d be even more curious (more philosophically than anything) as to who is liable for the mishap if Copilot suggests something that ends up violating a license. Is it the developer? The developer’s company? GitHub? Maybe the “AI” is the ult
