There are myriads of viruses and microbes that our immune system successfully fights every day. Imagine being constantly (slightly) sick instead.

What I'm getting at is maybe we need to teach people how to grow thicker skin? To become immune to microagressions?

I suggest approaching this issue from the other angle - which alternatives are worse than whitelist/blacklist in your opinion?

No, I didn't know.

But why should I care about that when the "art piece" I'm seeing at the moment doesn't impress me?

To OP and people who elaborately configure their keyboards - is it worth it? Does it improve performance by a meaningful amount?

I've been thinking about observing my typing / window interaction patterns and optimizing them, but never could find the motivation. Sometimes I catch myself pixel-hunting some control in my IDE and wondering if there is a shortcut for it, but then again, is configuring/learning the shortcut worth the trouble?

Or maybe configurability benefits kick in after a threshold? I think there is a reality where I can be at least 5% productive by just streamlining my "head-computer" link, but I'm not sure what it's going to take to get there.

The common theme in the discussion here that doing X "makes my colleagues happier". Do you know a real person that became happier once you changed "master" to "main"?

Also you said "high rewards". What are rewards in this particular case?

Correction - what is happening is not an "invasion", it's war. War, plain and simple.

The first step to fixing a problem is naming it. And Russians can't even do that.

Ah good old "but they lynch African Americans in USA" distraction. Russian TV loves it.

BTW today is day 55 of the war in Ukraine. 55 days it's not about "sides of the story" it is about Russians bombing and killing Ukrainians. And then denying that.

Stop the war. Then we can talk.

So now we have a simpler way of harvesting crabs? I'm all for it, crabs are delicious.

Wait, are you saying that it'll be better for US to copy India's caste system?

Let me guess which caste you think you'll end up.

I'm with you. I hope more companies follow this.

Yes, Russians will suffer.

Yes some of them tried to change things and paid dearly for that. I'm sorry for them.

But up until a week ago vast majority didn't care. Majority of Russians supported (and still support) annexation of Crimea. Well guess what, it's time to pay.

Heh, "point to Russians". I have several friends in Moscow, and up until the last few days they were in complete denial about Putin's intentions or troops buildup. There were memes, jokes, etc.

The propaganda inside Russia is very strong. Russians need sanctions, they need to start suffering (economically or otherwise). And then maybe they'll wake up.

Could someone please explain what's terrifying in the function spendWalletAWETH()?

Just two lines... Is the idea that tokenToBeApproved.allowance() can do bad things?

You don't have to do most of those things though. Ever tried just traveling somewhere (driving, flying) without any preparation at all?

Also, notebook of receipts? Man, this is bleak.

And of course "ancestors" conveniently go only couple of hundred years back?

I have 2018 Chevy, and it's sufficiently dumb :)

I have physical controls for climate, and even a dedicated defroster button. The car supports Android Auto / CarPlay, so I don't have to interact with its horrendous navigation (my favorite part is that it announces route changes in backwards manner, e.g. "Turn left ... in half a mile").

The card was cheap, and has been running without issues. It's not a luxury car for sure, but it does its job.

I'm getting strange COVID-speak vibes from your comment.

All that "you don't get to decide", "and that's where danger comes in".

I think the reasoning in your head is actually backwards, and you think that because JRE got Spotify contract he now has to "be doing their research" in fear of losing it. It's all about money, eh?

I've been dealing with legacy part of our app for the couple of days now, and I'm pissed.

But not at the code, I fully understand how code can become hairy, deadlines can be tight, etc. No. I'm pissed at my team (I'm new) who didn't have time in the past 5 years to even attempt to clean this shit up.

Have you seen the tweet? Facebook threatens consequences for "repeated offenders". So the point of fact-checking them is to accumulate enough checks to be able to kick in these consequences.

For petitions like this I wish there was a way to say "I don't support this" somewhere.

Same with donations, if X asks for donations, but I don't agree with X, I wish there was a way to find an opposite of X, and donate there instead.

Startup opportunity?

How "don't have kids" is any different than "kill yourself now"?

Surely that'll help even more, since it includes everything at once - no meat consumption, no travel, no cars, etc.

"constexpr Box getBox() const noexcept override" - this signature is just ridiculous. Can't compiler at least infer "const noexcept" from "constexpr"?

In the meanwhile, how is C++ lifetime profile doing, is it useable yet?

I know C++ pretty well, but I'd pick Rust (or Zig) for my next project.

To bring some diversity of opinion. Don't you like diversity? I hope you do, because otherwise you're a bad person.

"Hire more black people" - isn't that what FAANG desperately been trying to do for some time now?

I guess first step might be to "hire more black QA people".

Heh, so much different than my dorm room... So cute and sterile - like the ideas and emotions that would be experienced there I guess.

My problem with the straw ban is the ban itself. Why not give people a choice, incentivize different behavior? Just put paper straws next to plastic ones, with a feel-good message, and voila.

There is a limit of things you can ban before people will get tired of banning, and then you won't be able to ban things that might fully deserve it.

BTW, the world is running out of clean water, so how about we ban dishes in the restaurants to avoid wastefully washing them? Just bring your own, right?

Surprised no one mentioned Irvine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine,_California

New neighborhoods are quite nice, e.g. https://www.irvinepacific.com/homes/eastwood-village

Now we just need to bio-engineer them to grow larger stems, so that they could catch larger flies. And voila - natural (and pretty) fly paper!

I'm interested to know about his engineering contributions.

I think you should start by providing information to back up your claims. This is not Twitter.
