Thank you!
I can’t find it right now, but there is some explanation in “Clean Code” why switches shouldn’t be used all over the place.
Don’t forget the checks from the devil Georg Soros himself /s
Yes, exactly that.
Your head is going to hurt even more if you are a German: The prefix “ent” usually means to lose or get rid of something. I.e. “I got rid of it” -> “Ich habe es entsorgt” so everytime I read “enshittification” I had to remind myself it’s the process of making something worse not better.
So “disenshittification” is a double knot in my brain. I propose “disshittification” as alternative.
Interestingly I found multiple physical copies of Concord at my local mall.
As is tradition with MS and their complicated naming policies Visual Studio is not VS Code.
The EU had no credibility when it comes to migration to begin with. Frontex has been complicit in all sorts of controversies.
TBF, there are some farmers being charged. But yes, it’s definitely not to the same extent as climate protesters.
I am not sure why you think I skipped something.
Their point is, that we can’t make super awesome tech X because it requires awesome tech Y, and we can’t make Y because it requires cool tech Z.
My counterpoint to that is that yes, we may not have the technology, YET. But knowing it exists, we can acquire it a lot faster, than having to invent it ourselves. For example, China hasn’t started by building world leading electric vehicles, either. They started out as a cheap manufacturer of simple items and gradually accumulated more expertise in more and more advanced fields.
In case you are talking about raw materials? Let’s give Toni Stark a bit more sophisticated equipment than a stack of books to balance his particle accelerator on and I bet you he can fix that problem too.
And nothing really changed. Yeah, Stark Industries doesn’t produce weapons anymore. But as we see in Iron Man 2 others are happily trying to fill the gap.
Sure, jumping multiple levels on the technology tree is not easy, but a real world analog would be China, which has turned from a “backwater” to one of the biggest competitors.
It’s always seemed strange to me that earth never made any sort of meaningfull technological progress despite having access to a galaxy full of new tech. The only progress we see is that the ~~ elites~~ heroes equipment is getting more fancy with each movie.
Secondly why should a more technological advanced setting be unrecognizable to the viewer? Especially if the progress stretches over as many movies as the MCU contains?
No one is asking for painstaking detail. James Bond defeating a guy who tries to privatize the water supply of a whole country was overall a decent movie IMO, only implying the problem for everyday people that arose from evil guys plan. It’s all about the storytelling: Avengers find cool new tech that helps solve some earthly problem. Some people stand to lose a lot of money (think pharma industry becoming obsolete or similar) and plot against it. Avengers snuff out the plot, defeat evil mastermind and implement technology. Progress!
Maybe there are certain problems that can’t be solved by punching things? Like for example finding a way to timetravel in order to collect the infinity stones, which Toni Stark seems to be able to do while sipping his afternoon coffee. Individual impact has never been a problem in the MCU. After all we are talking about a superhero movie. And what does Captain America do while Toni Stark eradicates Cancer? Deal with the backlash (see 2.).
Also, going back to your first remark: Superheroes dealing with poverty and injustice is the whole subplot of Black Panther.
None and all of them. The video has been posted before but the essence is that the overwhelming part of Marvel’s films deals with the folloing scenary:
Bad guy tries to change something, often for legitimate reasons. God guys stop bad guy and everything stays the same. Even when people try to change something in a good way there is always something that goes horribly wrong.
Nah, slap a ‘Data lake’ label on it and call it a day
highly controversial figure in Germany
Understatement of the year. Courts have repeatedly ruled that calling him fascist and Nazi is a factual statement. He has been sentenced multiple times for using Nazi rhetoric and symbols.
His local chapter of the AFD party has been labeled “assuredly right-wing extremist” by the Verfassungsschutz which again was upheld by court decision as well.
I guess I might as well argue with a stone instead of an American about universal moral values but here goes nothing:
Wait, did I just judge a person by their membership of a group they got randomly assigned at birth which says nothing about their character?
Anyways…
The suffering of one person is not justification to inflict the same on others. Secondly why are you refusing to help people through hardship in the first place.
Let me ask you in return: Why are neither deserving of your help?
Hell no, and I don’t care if that person is black, white, blue, has an American, French or Iraqi passport.
But you are trying to build a strawman here, because babysitting is not the same as granting people shelter from hardships.
And to loop back to your previous statements regarding the number of crimes committed by immigrants: Am I statistically more likely to get murdered by an immigrant or by a fellow country man? You might have to reconsider your approach towards high/low threat environments in your everyday life.
For me, it is a glorified auto-complete function. Could definitely live without it.
