A third of Americans believe in a god that really, really hates them? Cool.

I know a lot of folks are against circumcision

As far as I know, people are against forced circumcision. It boils down to mutilating someone, usually a kid, preemptively for… reasons. I don’t think anyone care about medically mandated procedure.

I admire you for having this much blind optimism after the last ten months or so.

Isn’t ICE one of the biggest budget of the US now? How is that vulnerable?

I’m also somewhat uncomfortable when some stranger disrobe in public, but hey.

and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything

well, yeah. Even the old 3-2-1 backup policy is against that.

It’s not even that. Porn is just a bystander here. The first step is put in place a very large framework for making some form of verification mandatory on arbitrary services and sites under the guise of whatever (terrorism, child protection, and extremely niche content are good candidates). Once it’s in place, it becomes the new normal very quickly.

Then, as the government, you suddenly have the power to extend the provision of said system to whatever the fuck you want. That’s where things gets funky, and not the good kind.

They just need to get the fuck off of people’s life.

They’re asking everyone to act like buffoon while striking poses in front of their phone instead of addressing the core issue. Great.

You can already generate 5s video for free with adobe firefly (two daily), and for static images, you could already do them for a long time on commodity hardware with your custom prompts.

This isn’t a fight they lost quickly, this is a fight they lost before showing up, but still showed up.

Wow, prejudiced much. The JS ecosystem evolved a lot over the year, and polyfills for most environment are next to non existant. The worst environment to me (react-native) do heavily use them, but they’re built-in anyway.

Also, about stuff being slow when made in JS… people that make slow clusterfuck in JS would also make slow clusterfuck in other languages. React is guilty of that too, trying to re-implement core language features OVER the language itself, and that is stupid. Still, as with every language, it is possible to use it decently. You’ll never get to the point of raw optimized assembly performance, but even higher level scripting language can leverage JIT compilation and work well on any modern (<10 years) computer. Taking as an example the worst developers out there using the worst way to do things is not exactly a good benchmark.

Hey USA.

What the fuck.

Backward compatibility and not seeing the future. Some decisions are taken at one point in time, then a new use case show up, then a new paradigm evolve, then… etc etc.

It’s really the same thing that holds back a lot of languages and libraries. And even when replacement shows up, old habits from devs and old projects maintenance keep all these things well alive too.

whoever that is made a mistake of opening his mug.

“remain”? They really don’t use their own service, do they?

I’m curious, do they fire all sysadmins on days where everything goes smoothly and rehire new ones the day after?

It was explicitly said to not use this outside of VSCode, so, I’m not sure where the surprise comes from.

The problem is that they’re killing competition.

So, they pay to develop a product, for themselves, explicitly says “it’s only for us, shoo shoo”, and when they decide that their product, that they pay for, and provide for free to their user, should not be used by other, it kills the competition that did not do anything except take the product for free despite being told not to?

I’m not on the side of Microsoft for most things. But if doing nothing but taking someone else’s free product qualifies to be competition that should be protected, we’re having problems.

I love Nintendo, but seriously, screw them over their handling of their users.

There were tons of options with multiple HTML elements with a sequence of CSS properties to reliably provide vertical centering (and also use vertical space at the same time) back in the days.

Now, between flex and grid (mainly flex for me, I find them more convenient) all the HTML scaffolding we used to make this work can be removed to get the same result. That’s what I mean with “no trick”.
