good news, then!

i have some news for you as to what pegging is

at least that is verifiably fake bullshit

it means “probably” 🤗

This would’ve scared the shit out of me as a kid

they are NOT

and they are the best

I have, and my experience is objective and universal, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are! The other countries are so far down on the graph they are not visible

bad bean muzzle discipline

Sometimes things aren’t obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we’re all a little stupid.

There’s a balance to be struck.

Just #3 by the looks of it

I don’t think you’re entirely wrong here, but you make sweeping generalizations about programmers that I see a lot online that irk me.

Most developers I know have a few languages they’re familiar with. A good developer uses the right tools for the job. When I work with my python shop I use that. When I need a quick webapp it’ll be JS. If there’s something that requires high performance I might try go.

Every language has pitfalls and vulnerabilities, but that really says nothing of their utility. Any flame war between languages is typically pedaled by dilettantes fueled by memes they don’t understand (like javascript == memes)

take this admittedly ancient study of vulnerabilities divvied up by language:

In JS, you don’t have to free memory manually. Nor in python. This (mostly) precludes a whole class of severe bugs/vulns, but those weren’t relevant anyway because they’re different tools for different jobs.

We can bemoan the gigantic js ecosystem, but we can also realize it is a fantastic resource for novices and veterans alike.

Small nitpicks: The point of react is that it DOESN’T refresh. It maintains a virtual DOM which is faster to update and diff than the regular browser DOM, which you hinted at. No libraries necessary to do routing, but they do make it easier and better.

This however is a React Native application which doesn’t have the same (browser) backend or requirements. It’s native code. There is no refresh or routing per se.

That all said, the start menu is an abomination of the highest order. It just isn’t really React’s fault. People just love to hate on React and <insert current zeitgeist here>. React also gets a bad rap because it’s so ubiquitous and easy to start using that novices and morons alike can make atrociously slow, bloated web apps with it.

oh yeah? do a .7z now 😏

e: ah, you created the tar first i see now. i bet you know how to decompress a .tar.gz by memory every time

I like this thought experiment and think about this a lot. However this does nothing to remotely indicate the existence of the Abrahamic god. People tell you with certainty that god exists and he’s three persons and jesus rose from the dead yada yada. That’s a complete fantasy derived from literally nothing.

No proof but still believe? Faith.

Not believing in something that has zero evidence requires no faith. I don’t need faith to tell you Cthulu isn’t real

It doesn’t require faith to NOT believe in something. It requires faith to accept religion which cannot be proven.

“Concentration camp” evokes the Nazi style death camps. The USA’s version of this was/is decidedly less about mass extermination of a race. Still a concentration camp, still repugnant. I think the terminology is loaded and it makes it harder for people to understand. Not to mention the dearth of education we have which certainly isn’t helping…

red ring of death

I have had the good fortune of being borderline gay with all my friends for my whole life. I wish it upon everyone

You’re not wrong. I think if anything this is making fun of men who fall down the hate pipeline
