@spoiledgoods When a shitty company is afraid of losing a competent dev, they might pull a preemptive "We're gonna make you the tech-lead! It's a promotion! (you're still going to be a dev at the end of the day, please don't quit we're understaffed)"

*WHEEZE*

My distro came with a couple of useful tar aliases in the default .bashrc

alias tarnow='tar -acf '

alias untar='tar -zxvf '

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh..."

I don't hate it, but it's more of a job to me. Sometimes, and sometimes. I'll get the job done. I don't think you need to be that fully passionate about it. You do you.

It wouldn't be *MY* school life if it didn't involve going back to the 90s. I also don't want to get instantly old, though the money would be nice.

Both options suck. The one about being 10 again sucks slightly less.

If you believe normies being normies will not have an effect on you, I am sorry but you are simply deluded.

@nitwhiz "But in the end, it's their product. They pay the infrastructure, where you want to have fun. It's not a country with democracy. In my opinion it's presumptuous to expect platforms to be a welfare"

You are missing the point. What you wrote there is -CORRECT-, as long as they remain bound by LAW.

However, there are laws in place about privacy. Laws that make such platforms be obligated to provide a way to delete accounts. Reddit is based in California and as such, has to obey the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Particularly, the part about any user having the option to delete all of their data, or request all their data to be deleted from a website.

Reddit making the mass-deletion harder than it needs to be, and then just rollbacking it is NOT legal.

What I'm saying is completely unrelated to the API changes.

"Can we put in the budget for a ladder, so X can get off my back already?"

Reddit draws it's value from having a community.

Reddit needs to show that value to investors soon

Reddit users are mass-deleting their stuff in some protest

Up until this point. Everything is -normal-

Reddit is keeping users stuff up despite users mass-deleting. Reddit is asking its users to manually delete every comment if they want a true mass deletion. Reddit STILL leaves the stuff up, as if they just restored from a backup. This happens even if PII is included in the comments a user mass-deleted. This is NOT normal and downright illegal.

@ostream No. Their population density is not the reason for the magnitude of their emissions. They do not have regulations. China in particular, had low emissions only at the very height of their initial lockdown because no one was manning the plants and factories due to government enforced inactivity.

I mean.. yeah, it is a scam. Don't forget it was called "global warming" until the subtle temperature shifts started leaning towards cold.

It's not an ultra big deep state conspiracy, but it is helped along by useful idiots who take extreme stances on the matter.

The biggest scam is the Carbon Footprint term. Something that was coined by a company that did (does?) PR for fucking Petroleum companies. It was a way of saying "Yeah, we're kinda bad for the environment as a company, but you as an individual could be so much worse! Accountability starts with you, the citizen. Get taxed nerd. We'll follow suit eventually, pinky promise!"

Then you have first world countries fighting to see who can marginally lower their emissions more for political brownie points all the while ignoring the other side of the world where India and China account for more emissions than every other country combined.

@IntrusionCM The less an orm looks like the sql it's going to generate, the less I like it.

step 1: google average reading speed (words per minute) and have it in your code as a constant like... AVERAGE_WPM

step 2: get the amount of words in your text. Doesn't need to be exact. A simple words = text.split(" ") is good enough

step 3: readingSpeed = Math.ceil(words / AVERAGE_WPM)

This is going to be apples and oranges, but coming from PHP, everything is either public or protected.

I rarely see private modifiers.

@PaperTrail Perhaps they were compiling a list of emails that have a minimum amount of money in paypal. That way they can bruteforce accounts that have ...well, a minimum of 10k if they get lucky .

@PaperTrail I mean, that also sounds like just someone who doesn't like meeting in person.

Mail the request and CC every star known to mankind.

If you brewed it, then it's mate without yerba. .

@AndroidJester garuda

Did you edit the amount of clown faces? I could swear there were less yesterday.

I've seen the code for some TailwindUI components and they are an absolute div soup.

An advice I don't see often (since it doesn't relate to skill in any way), make it -easy- for people to pay you.

This probably doesn't apply if you're living in the so-called first world. The last thing clients want is to have to jump through hoops when they decide to pay you because your account comes from your contry's national bank and is just a pain to put money in from another country.

@aviophile check the SO link I posted.

@CoreFusionX O'Reilly books can be hit or miss, after all they depend on the author and the topic. But overall they are decent (or otherwise that publisher would be infamous, instead of slightly memey because of their covers).

The suggestion to add Practical C++ to the list was not received well.

Here you have a curated list

Virtual credit cards were made for these kind of scummy practices. Use them.

People lie on the internet. People say what they think is most acceptable or will make them look better.

For sure, there are people who will watch that movie and get emotional, but I feel at least two thirds of the comments that state it are lies or wild exaggerations.

I have come to the conclusion the seemingly inflated price is a result of the forum actually being a "forum as a service" kind of thing.
