Cool

Lol. I keep saying that programming is great if you enjoy the act of using a computer.

Hardened libraries

Like log4j?

Ecosystems matter for sure, but any java “killer library” should be usable by other programming languages.

Of course. Code review doesn’t have to be a strict process.

A problem with code reviews is that sometimes it’s easier to reason about a problem as you work on it. You will likely end up with better code going through an iterative process working with your computer instead of trying to get the perfect solution the first time.

It’s kind of like math. We need to expand a problem out in order to solve it, and then simplify the solution once we have it.

After using Rust, I struggle to find a use-case for Java.

We have Python for the bad programmers.

I mean, at some point you have to realize that instructing an AI on every single thing you want to do starts to look a lot like programming.

Programming isn’t just writing code. It’s being able to reason about a method of doing things. Until AI is at the level of designer, you can expect humans to have to do the brunt of the work to bring software to life.

Yeah, but when they’re dealing with possibly hundreds of these fake profiles they probably just go for the lowest quality they can get away with.

Even something like storage costs can add up pretty quickly in a 3rd world country.

Eh, it’s more than likely a pig-butchering scam.

The groups that do these are rather unsophisticated and mostly don’t speak english. It would make sense that their poor internet connections only have low quality photos and this is likely just one of many scams with equally-bad photos.

achieved by refusing to vote against a fascist is a win.

How? Either way I lose.

If I voted for harris and harris won, I still lost. If I voted for harris and trump won, I still lost. if I voted for trump and trump won, I still lost.

You’re naive enough to believe that harris winning is the same as you winning, and that’s just proving my point. You’ve been conditioned to think that a slow loss is the same as a win.

Assuming you’re an American, by refusing to vote against fascism I’m pretty sure you won’t be having any free discussions in a year or so lest you be carted off by the local stasi.

Yeah, you’re too far gone to be taken seriously. Your reply is just an automated response you feel compelled to make to fit in with other people who are also too far gone.

Gonna block you now. Good luck in life.

… do you know what the fuck a primary is

I’m referring to the general.

Sorry, the rest of your comment is incoherent nonsense. I can tell you’re just throwing ideas out there because you don’t want to admit you may be wrong about something, despite how many people agree with you.

I have to block you now, because you people will never stop until I do. Goodbye.

I can tell you’re going to go through whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to convince yourself that voting for the lesser evil is somehow a win.

Sorry you’ve been conditioned to dedicate so much energy working against your own interests. If more of you diverted that energy to the people supporting our oppressors, we wouldn’t need to be having this discussion.

Would you remind me who won the Dem primary in 2016, and who won in 2020?

You already know the answers. Joe won because although he doesn’t support the working class, he didn’t have being a woman working against him. He also had the benefit of people voting trump out of office.

God, the irony is painful.

How so? I don’t expect anything different. I expect this song and dance to go on until I die and probably quite awhile after.

The fuck

“Unfortunately you people have been conditioned to cover your ears to hard truths and just pretend reality is a different way.” I rest my case.

Learn to read.

Cool. Let me know when that starts winning you elections.

Had you people nominated a better candidate, I would’ve voted.

Just saying.

In a two-party, first-past-the-post system you kinda have an ethical obligation to vote for the lesser evil. It’s just a statistical fact you can’t ignore.

Not really, but you’re free to believe that.

The ethical stance to take against 2 evil candidates is to support neither. Supporting the lesser evil makes useful idiots think that they’re winning and therefore stop fighting back.

Any ire you direct towards the people who don’t support evil candidates would be better spent directed towards those who do support evil candidates. i.e. don’t waste your breath arguing with non-voters, dedicate that energy towards the people who keep supporting candidates that don’t represent their interests.

It’s just a statistical fact you can’t ignore.

Actually, the people who refuse to support evil candidates are a statistical fact you can’t ignore.

Since we’re talking facts, let me lay another one on you. All you people do when you get mad at me for not voting is reinforce my decision to keep doing it. I’m not going to cave to look good in front of ya’ll, I genuinely don’t care what most of you think.

Either run a candidate that supports the working class, or I’m not voting for them.

I totally agree, but that someone would have to be a champion of the working class.

Unfortunately, even on the left there are plenty of greedy, entitled assholes that will never support a candidate that threatens their wealth.

It’s why they didn’t nominate Bernie, twice. They’d rather have trump.

Eh. If democrats ran candidates that actually cared about the working class, they would win a lot more elections.

I agree.

These useful idiots have been conditioned to think that a slow loss is a win, though.

It’s a major reason why I will never vote for the ‘lesser evil’ candidate again.

If the people getting mad at me because I didn’t vote and trump won, they should do something differently next election and run a candidate that is good, not just the lesser evil.

Spoiler alert: They won’t do anything different and continue to blame the people for not “falling in line.” This is a song and dance that will last the rest of our lives.

It’s a major reason why I will never vote for the ‘lesser evil’ candidate again.
