Yep. The only way to justify the death penalty in a system we know for a fact convicts people we later prove to be innocent is to be ok with executing some innocent people.
I’m very comfortable saying that even a single innocent person killed by the state is too high a cost to pay.
Fuck, that gives me the ick big time.
Weird is subjective. If you’ve only ever done C++ style object oriented programming then jumping into a lisp or a pure functional language is absolutely weird.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Well, teenage me would have said the answer is “stupid”.
Then I grew up and realized that I was full of myself and everyone isn’t stupid.
Then the last 10 or so years happened and I now I sorta think teenage me was onto something there.
If you’re looking for something fun to write you might want Ruby. Literally built from the ground up with developer satisfaction as the primary goal.
Very expressive, plenty powerful. Not my absolute personal favorite but I can’t deny it’s satisfying to use.
Haskell or Clojure (or Common Lisp) if you want something weird but neat as alternatives.
The New Colossus should be what we make kids memorize instead of the pledge of allegiance.
Transparent corruption.
I don’t agree with passing off their behavior as “cultural”. I am ashamed of men because some of them are reprehensible, and some of them want to ignore how reprehensible those ones are or explain it away.
I choose to embrace feeling deeply ashamed at how we’ve allowed the worst of us to form the general opinion of us and vocalize that routinely.
Fuck their insecurities, if they want to be able to go up to a woman without “getting her drink splashed in their face” maybe they should focus harder on fixing the problem so women can generally feel safe with us.
I didn’t say that I was ashamed of myself, I said I was ashamed of men and the association they cast on me.
You’re kinda enabling that behavior by advocating against vocalizing how shitty it is.
Nice. I have a very similar setup, though I drop the outside column.
I have several crkbds but I kinda regret buying the Typeractive one. It’s fine but they don’t provide modeling files or kicad references which makes building a custom case and switch plate way way harder than a crkbd off the main repo.
I use a super lightweight bullet journal. I don’t bother with the indexing or future logs or whatever; just a daily journal of whatever I feel is worth writing down, usually timestamped.
All the overhead of the extra features doesn’t feel like they’re worth the effort for me.
It’s fun being deeply ashamed of your gender because some of us are filth and scum.
These fuckers harm everyone with their actions. Wish we could do something actionable about it.
If you’re going to move the goalpost can you at least move it past my “dickhead employers are a dime a dozen…” initial statement?
I’m an exempt employee. I wouldn’t trade back.
As with all things, needs are subjective. Sometimes I have to work at 2am because something breaks, and that sucks.
But not needing to worry about how many hours I’m going to be at my desk this week because any change might tank my paycheck is extremely valuable to me. I can take my kids to the doctor without missing pay, or to one of their school events, or take an afternoon off to do something fun, or just get the flu and be out for two weeks without worrying about the mortgage.
Sorry you have had shit experiences, but the world doesn’t exist only at the polar extremes.
Not everyone lives where you do and labor laws are complex and varied. Which is why I didn’t go into specifics.
Have fun with that pedantry though.
The “correct” word for salary is usually “exempt employee”, as in exempt for overtime pay.
This isn’t always a bad thing. Some jobs need exempt employees because they run on call rotations and so forth, and if your employer isn’t a dickhead it can genuinely be done fairly with highly flexible hours and pay to match.
Of course, dickhead employers are a dime a dozen…
Many years ago I sometimes got stuck in a work truck with a guy who would play nothing but conservative bullshit radio, and it was insufferable.
Nothing but a non-stop stream of hate and bile and misinformation, and so many ads for products I would be embarrassed to be seen buying.
Also a big dude, also never have to worry about this shit.
Fucking stupid that women get treated so poorly, and so routinely.
You can’t pull one over on these kids. They have tons of free time and none of the responsibility of adulthood, they’re gonna bypass whatever the fuck you put in front of them.
I was that kid that refused to be constrained and I’m so fucking proud of this generation for carrying on the legacy.
