If they’re doing it outside that immigration centre, yes.

It applies to everyone praying outside the immigration processing facility. They certainly don’t want God getting involved in immigration.

Because they fucking got elected by the fucking stupid American fucking electorate.

There have only been a handful of years when the Republicans haven’t had the elected numbers to block things over the last three Democratic presidents.

Vote for progressives in the primaries if you want things to get better.

Trump is gonna be pissed if he ever understands this.

It means “if Allah wills it”, so similar to “God willing”.

For me, it’s all about the maintenance now. If it encourages you to write messy code, you will come to loathe your codebase. If it gives you clean, easy to navigate code you will love it more and more.

When I was a young programmer I couldn’t abide any boilerplate at all and loved clever magic that made it disappear. Now I don’t mind a bit of boilerplate and hate non-obvious machinery.

When I was young I bought the promise that object oriented programming would solve the software complexity problem, but now I think that at best it’s neutral and sometimes it makes it worse.

All depends what your trade offs are. “Milliseconds of run time versus months of debugging.” I know one team that were died in the wool C programmers but their baby had one too many security issues and their CTO said they had to reimplement it all in rust. One of them resigned but the others spent ages on it. They hated the borrow checker with a passion, almost as much as they hated the CTO, but after a bit they admitted it had some benefits and in the end they have a love/hate relationship with it. They hate the process still, but they love the result. The Milliseconds vs months quote is from my friend on that team. He said one subsystem had a seriously massive speed boost because they turned off the logging they used to do to recover from some infrequent intermittent bug that simply doesn’t happen any more. They’re proud of what they did.

I think he’s now chairman and certainly still profits from Amazon.

I think a bunch of C programmers hate rust passionately because they always looked down their noses at principled languages for being slow.

Now a principled language is beating them on both speed and safety and it’s as if the jocks lost a baseball game to the nerds who studied dynamics of solids and cut a series of little slots in their bats so that every time they hit the ball it went out of the park.

So much hate for the clever win over the brute force.

Fuck, this is bad.

Mr Bezos doesn’t give a shit about you.
Never has. Never will.

Ruining your entire life doesn’t bother him in the slightest.

He doesn’t even give a shit about your money,
he has incomprehensibly vast amounts of money
and you don’t make the tiniest molecule of difference to his life.

All he gives a shit about is
extracting
the largest possible amount of money
on average
from the largest possible pool of people
and businesses.

So you don’t matter to him. Not even slightly.
He cares much, much more about a worm he’s never seen that lives under his lawn than he cares about you.
And he doesn’t give a fuck about the worm.

Quit giving Bezos your money, everyone. He doesn’t need it. You do.

Respect? A LOT less.

Take my angry upvote and get out.

I had the exact same reaction.

I always thought that NaN is required by IEEE rules to never equal any other number, including itself, because you can make NaN in different ways and this shouldn’t result in equality or something, so C is wild but not javascript’s fault.

The other three being true is definitely javascript’s insane fault, though.

They think free speech means no one is allowed to disagree with them. Otherwise they say their right to free speech is being violated.

He did at the inauguration.

Excellent. Good to know that some young people have intelligence and principles.

Absolutely.

…and fuck them up badly, in many ways, and in more than one country. Yes.

Trump supports Putin because he’s idiotic. A less stupid and chaotic leader would be able to tell the difference between someone who gives them a compliment and someone who is a friend to the USA.
