IMO most “flashy” frameworks betray the principle of high cohesion. Importing a time library to handle timezones is a great idea. Importing a math library to calculate derivatives is common sense for good reason. But huge frameworks that change the entire way a language is written are ridiculous. I’m looking at you, Vue and Tailwind. I usually see these sorts of frameworks used by people who aren’t qualified programmers and who don’t know software architectures or best practices. In other words, the kinds of people who get promoted to management positions and tell us what frameworks to use.

(Typescript is awesome though)

No, I’m not implying that, because that’s ridiculous.

Ah yes, the anti weird test. That’s how you get all of the autistic people and POCs out of the recruitment pool.

I think all three of the people replying to you are wrong. They all think you’re having trouble finding a project you want to work on. But I think you’re saying you struggle to understand how the logic of a program fits together into accomplishing anything.

I think you should follow one of these lessons to produce some example code, and then use the debugger to watch it function line by line.

Primary and secondary school math is mostly arithmetic and memorisation. It’s not until late high school and university when you get to do real math, which is a study of logic and proofs. If you were horrible at math in school, you might still have the makings of a great mathematician.

I like GOG and dislike Epic. I am fully in favour of taking Epic for a ride and enjoying their free games, that’s how I got subnautica, and I’m also against giving them any actual money.

I mean it deserves to be lost forever in that it has no artistic or ideological merit. Mein Kampf deserves to be lost. But we deserve to keep it as a warning so that we do not repeat history. But if humanity could grow to the point that such warnings are never needed again, and if the book could be forgotten due to losing all present and future relevance, that would be a good thing. What a thing deserves is sometimes different to what is necessary or good.

I think his lawsuit is valid and that Amazon really did steal his work, because those titles are derivative mulch and The Rings Of Power is a snoozefest.

Well in that case I do believe Rings of Power plagiarised it, because ROP is trash too

Yeah, and that’s why white people are richer than black people today, even though slavery ostensibly ended 200 years ago. It’s time that we outlaw this behaviour.

Also Sherlock Holmes. Now, the BBC might have done a terrible job, but a lot of other people have written great stories because Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain

Another character in the public domain is Zeus, and the rest of his family. Liked Disney’s Hercules? Supergiant’s Hades? Netflix’s Blood of Zeus? Riordan’s Percy Jackson? Only possible because of public domain.

A word isn’t a thought. Thoughts are unique, but a word can be arrived at independently in several different ways by the sea spelled with a C, you see.

Average Blahaj user

But nothing any human being put effort into deserves to be lost forever.

Except for Mein Kampf, Birth of a Nation, and What is a Woman

They named the trans girl character Ryan. You know how in Harry Potter books everyone’s referred to by their last name? Well she’s Ryan. That’s not inclusive. That’s a writing decision and it doesn’t look good.

Which makes sense, given that the lead developer for most of development was a member of fucking gamergate.

What you will notice is the law changing.

Meta is already evil and has been for years. You don’t get back with your abusive ex and say “I’ll leave him if he hits me again”, you get that fucker out of your life. Meta is the internet’s abusive ex

Gmail killed the popularity of most email services. Don’t let Threads end up like Gmail

It’s not just the data collection, it’s also the data presentation. Meta controls how information is presented on their platforms. Remember how I was talking about making seemingly random changes to influence society? Social platforms are how Meta makes those changes. They can control what gets upvotes on Facebook and Threads. If Threads is federated with Moist Catsweat, then they influence what content is visible from the Hot and Active pages of Moist Catsweat. That means they don’t just control the political opinions of everyone you talk to, they can influence you. Show you memes and news articles that make you more likely to vote for Trump or Brexit or whatever it is in your country.
