You don’t have to flip a trick coin to call the outcome.

Heros put themselves in front of bullets to protect others.

Trump puts others in front of bullets to protect himself.

Jesse Waters knows a lot about affairs.

He cheated on his wife, they divorced, he married the woman he was cheating with.

Nothing wrong with changing the constitution, as long as people do what’s required.

The journalists and the culture at the newspaper wanted to endorse Harris, but the billionaire owner swooped in and overrode all of that. This is obvious.

I realized there’s another layer to how messed up this is though. A newspaper changed it’s journalistic practices to benefit an aerospace company (Blue Origin). Why is a newspaper connected to an aerospace company?

More and more companies are being owned by fewer and fewer people. The American dream is dead, the free market is a myth at this point.

Throttling everyone equally during times of congestion is also fair in its own way. I’d be okay with that.

I like this term, “billionaire media”, because right-wing media likes to use “mainstream media” as a slur to dismiss any other media source that disagrees with them. It’s a term that shuts down thinking and gets people to automatically dismiss any claim from “mainstream media”.

“Billionaire media” doesn’t really work this way, because if Fox News starts criticizing “billionaire media”, eventually some viewers are going to wake up and realize, “wait, isn’t Fox News owned by a billionaire too?”

People, especially Republicans, love to talk about the “mainstream media”. That term needs to die.

There is only “billionaire media” and “independent media”.

You’re billionaire media if your owned or funded by a billionaire; I don’t care if you’re only on YouTube, if you’re getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from sponsors, you’re part of the billionaire media.

If you’re funded by a bunch of small donations or have no funding at all, then you are independent media.

Today my trust for billionaire media sank even lower.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You’re responsible. I don’t care what the legal definitions say.

If we don’t care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn’t cause all this?

Fortran is still a good language for some purposes I think.

And I feel the same way, C++ tries to solve the problem of having too many features by adding more features.

I’d rather believe it’s a bunny than acknowledge snails that large exist.

Epic vs Google turned out a lot different than Epic vs Apple.

Also, Epic vs Google was decided by jury.

I wouldn’t consider Julia statically-typed; am I wrong?

The question mine as well be “what is your favorite compiled language?”. There is a lot of overlap between the possible answers.

I haven’t written any Java since Java 6. This makes me so happy to hear.

What about XML, and XML based configs? Is the Java ecosystem still obsessed with XML?

I remember I was once trying to learn Hibernate. After finding what I thought looked like the best tutorial, I skimmed through it and there was literally no Java code in the tutorial about a Java library! It was all XML! I never could understand it, but this was early in my career, maybe I could handle it now, maybe not.

I don’t know. That’s what I was saying. I can’t possibly imagine what I could say to help someone understand that error message.

😉

If you can’t understand that error message then I don’t know what to tell you.

If Trump is allowed to carry out his deportation plans, he’ll deport American citizens (“by accident”), I guarantee it.
