I’m so tired of repeating this ad nauseum. No, it’s not going to take your job. It’s hype train bullshit full of grifters. There is no intelligence or understanding, nor have we come anywhere close to achieving that. That is still entirely within the realm of science fiction.

Oh you mean stuff nobody actually asked for?

Pretty dumb, honestly. If anything it just adds a Streisand effect to it as people try to figure out what’s censored.

Not that censoring it has any value whatsoever. Like if a child sees that, so fucking what?

Yeah it’s not all that uncommon in school, just increasingly uncommon in industry.

Glad you got fired. Vaccines should always be mandatory save for legitimate, doctor-validated medical exemptions.

Anti-vaxxers are fucking stupid and should either be educated properly or, if they still refuse to do their civic duty after being de-programmed of misinformation, punished. You are only allowed to participate in society if you take the necessary steps that you are morally and ethically obligated to do in order to protect it from preventable, transmissible disease. We had eradicated polio until stupid motherfuckers like yourself decided that it would be a good idea to forgo the standard polio vaccine schedule that we’ve had for decades. Now, we saw the first case in 30 years in 2022 because someone selfishly thought that their personal beliefs were more important than the health and livelihood of everyone else.

As someone that has recently taken an infant and and family CPR class for my son who started solid foods a few months ago, this is pretty similar to how they teach it today and I’m pretty sure it would have the same effect. You can’t perform a heimlich on a baby or very small child for a variety of reasons. This method or something similar to it is both safer and more effective, since it lets gravity help dislodge the food.

Visual… programming languages? Yikes.

Never do certifications for software engineering. The only certifications worth a damn are security certs and networking certs. If I saw a programming-related certification on a resume, I would completely ignore it since the only thing it tells me is that you paid some money to get a cert.

While I’m not a fan of Java, it’s most certainly not a dying language and you will be able to easily find employment into perpetuity. If I had to pick, I’d personally choose Java over .NET purely to avoid being trapped in Microsoft-land, especially with all of the bullshit they’ve been up to lately.

Yep. Postgres is fantastic and there’s no justification to use proprietary bullshit like that.

The issues are primarily with Azure, I believe.

From what I recall, particularly the younger generations that exclusively use mobile devices (though of course this is not limited to them) actually have terrible tech literacy across the board, primarily related to spending all of their time in apps that basically spoon-feed functionality in a closed ecosystem. In particular, these groups are particularly vulnerable to very basic scams and phishing attacks.

Except for, you know, not installing the apps on your phone.

Honestly it would probably require a full rebrand at this point. Tesla as a brand is too tainted now.

VMware workstation supports using a GPU. You can even use it in “pass-through” mode to give the VM full, exclusive access to the GPU.

Common Lisp isn’t a functional programming language. Guile being based on Scheme is closer, but I’d still argue that opting into OOP is diverging from the essence of FP.

Gross. Yeah, no. You should definitely be asking for consent if nothing explicit has been said. I’ve done it many times and it was always appreciated (including by my now wife on our second date when I asked her if I could kiss her), but more importantly, it was the right thing to do. If for some reason there’s a person that is put off by asking, that’s kind of a red flag to be honest. Good communication in relationships and sex is essential and the foundation of any healthy relationship.

There are many ways of asking, too. It doesn’t have to be some stitled “Would you like to have sex with me right now?” Also just generally communicating a lot before and during sex acts as consent and helps to build trust.

A lot of women have had truly awful experiences with men. Good communication and obtaining consent is not only treating women with the kindness and respect they deserve, but it also makes you stand out among the many men with poor social skills that make unwanted advances all the time.

https://curl.se/ has been account free since 1998.

Never understood why people keep trying to use proprietary tools for this, especially when curl is so good.

I have a directory of shell scripts I use to test out endpoints. I persist request/response data either with environment variables or regular files. Oh and since these are just shell scripts, it’s pretty trivial to do stuff like iterate over a CSV (or JSON array) and make a request for each row, conditionally make requests, or whatever else you want.

Oh and honorable mention goes to jo and jq for making it super easy to make/process JSON data.

Yeah that’s what I was referring to by “archaic”. Pretty much anything using the LAMP stack falls in that category. I don’t generally see new things using it.

Except I never said sticky keys shouldn’t exist. And no, I’m also wasn’t saying that literally every disabled person ought to go out and buy a programmable keyboard. So many assumptions in this thread.

Wow, what a disproportionate and oddly vicious response to a very innocuous suggestion.

Nowhere in my comment did I suggest that sticky keys simply shouldn’t exist. I was specifically responding to the OP talking about Ctrl-C/V and suggesting that a programmable keyboard would be a better solution for that, since you can turn 7 keystrokes into 1, since I expect that reducing the number of keystrokes one has to type is probably pretty valuable for someone in this situation. There are a lot of standard keybinds in an OS that could be handled this way. Obviously you can’t do this for every keybinds in existence. But again, the OP was talking about standard OS keybinds. Admittedly, I forgot sticky keys are a toggle, so it’s not as many keystrokes after the first time, but still, there are common key sequences that would be more challenging to hit, like Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

If someone is trying to use a public computer, by all means, use sticky keys. Again, I never said it shouldn’t exist or people should never use it. I was pretty obviously talking about the normal case: using a workstation/laptop at work/home. It’s kind of implied when referring to an external keyboard, since you don’t usually bring those places. Don’t really know why you’re talking about public computers.

The rest of your weirdly personal attacks are all against a strawman you’ve constructed, so I don’t really need to address them.
