Have any twitter accounts you find worthwhile? I currently follow Troy Hunt and occasionally check some of the people he talks with/retweets, would definitely like to expand that a bit.

Remind me again why programmers haven't started unionizing and working together more to push back against this kind of shit

You're right, let's just do nothing and let the problem get even worse as we push blame onto an algorithm rather than deeply ingrained societal issues

Because when an addict wants something, they'll lie. Even if they should really use the money for a sandwich, they'll buy the 40 first. Not to say all homeless are addicts, but when they're asking you within walking distance of a liquor store...

I'd rather buy them food or a (non-alcoholic) drink. I rarely have cash on me anyway so I've just had a guy throw his food on my bill when I went into a convenience store before.

I've literally told a guy I'd go into Wawa with him and buy his lunch, but he admitted to my face he wanted the money for the liquor store next door.

When you feel like shit and your life isn't going so great, your self-control isn't exactly great. I'd rather be a positive influence than an enabler.

EDIT: and just for some perspective, I unfortunately used to work in a liquor store in Ortley Beach, NJ where I saw a lot of shit and also have lots of, uh, substance abuse issues in my family. Not to mention NJ has a pretty bad heroin problem in general and it's currently fucking up my hometown.

I suspect you haven't particularly looked very hard, then

Probably depends on if we actually get grassroots, progressive Dems into office and force them into a more populist stance. We are also seeing the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison championing more progressive ideals and gaining popularity with the voter base.

If you're into metal, hardcore, or anything in between, you've seriously gotta check out https://medium.com/@hate5six/sage-an-artificially-intelligen... - it's from the guy who runs hate5six and it's fantastic

I'm going to have to go ahead and plug SAGE[0], because between Spotify recommending me the same bands/songs ad nauseum (or just being way off), friends already telling me they used it to find a new band to listen to on the first day it launched, and just being a fan of his work in general, it's a complete labor of love and I think it shows.

I believe there's a new section of the site where you can enter the password and see if it's been pwned, it should've been updated to include this latest dump.

I'm not really holding my breath on CS:GO getting that sort of treatment. They told us months ago we'd basically be getting a shoe-horned in Panorama UI and NOT a full Source 2 Reborn-type deal.

Where are you pulling this from? You're being just as bad as these imaginary leftists that unironically use 'alt-right' in that manner

I wonder how many parts could be 3D printed in a civilian/mass-market version to help with price? Obviously the army doesn't want to compromise anywhere in terms of durability considering the conditions they're working in.

Has anyone used this for Django development? I currently use SublimeText 3 for just about everything but I'm always open to new ideas.

Seaside "beach kid" here, our beach culture is most definitely NOT any of that shit. Sure, it exists as an outlier (some of the families have owned property down here forever, super wealthy, etc), but the main things that come to mind for beach culture are just the simple things like the boardwalk, beach, and the local shops.

The yuppies and yachts mostly come from NY and elsewhere ;)

I currently have a Django-based intranet site (Windows Server 2012 w/ MSSQL DB) and will also have a web-app with the same set-up - both will be for company-use only, so at most ~500 users for the intranet and significantly less for the web app.

As a single dev doing smaller scale projects, is there any reason for me to want to move to this sort of setup? I obviously keep my project version controlled on Bitbucket and we run our usual backups on the servers and DBs, but is there something that Docker would bring that I'm just not getting? Or is this better suited for larger scale, super-fast iteration type projects?

Are more adults depressed, or are we just noticing it more? I can't tell if we're hitting the next phase of "just give the kids adderall" or if this is actually a problem with US society right now. The current popular jokes all revolve around hating your life and killing yourself, it's kinda strange.

Is there any reason why these companies would include a seemingly ineffective element into their product other than being able to say "antibacterial" on the label? It couldn't possibly have been CHEAPER to add them to soaps when it became the new meta, so it'd be interesting if marketing was the sole reason for it.

I've also had the solution (or at least ideas after hitting roadblocks) come to me at home, or on the drive home from work. Just last night I had a breakthrough while doing some dishes. Some days when it's not happening, it's just not happening, and trying to force it just doubles down on the frustrations I'm feeling by being stuck in the first place.

See, my parents did this thing where they'd tell me how smart I am all the time, then whenever there would be an argument or a disagreement "Oh, you're just SO smart and we're all SO stupid".

I'm already one of those people with a generally dry/sarcastic sense of humor (think Ruxin from The League, "I can't even tell when you're joking" kinda thing), so I have a hard time telling when I'm actually being an asshole or condescending or not, because while I seriously try to watch myself I still occasionally get the feeling that I came off the wrong way or, well, condescendingly. "You just think you're sooooo smart..."

Can someone please explain why NJ is such a fucked state? Is it just because of the population density, is it the years of government corruption? I just don't get how cost of living here is so nuts and how our economy feels so..."poor"?

Seconded on both points - found the Django docs themselves to be AMAZINGLY helpful (to the point where I feel spoiled) when learning. Found another toy project or two online to learn and play with, then read through Two Scoops to really cement the ideas more and get some ideas on best practices AND went back to it a few times during development for reference.

Sorry, thought I grabbed the url from the page :l can't edit it either, is this something a mod has to take care of?

"The demand for ‘perfect’ fruit and veg means much is discarded, damaging the climate and leaving people hungry"

I mean, you can make a case for damaging the environment, but the thrown away food is hardly the reason people are hungry. We clearly don't have a shortage problem.

It's the social aspect and the act of "dude there's a Snorlax at the basketball court let's go" and getting a group of your friends to go, then as you show up you see other people doing the same thing.

It's an innocent conversation starter. What better ice-breaker between social groups than "You playing Pokemon?" Even people who aren't playing know what's going on. The game itself isn't the selling point here. Being an IRL Pokemon trainer is.

So is the implication is that if $SaturdayNightLiveRipoff that just started filming this year decides to do something similar, they don't get the same leniency simply because they're new?

Even between wifi at home and work, streaming Spotify while driving and miscellaneous app usage off wifi gets me to basically 4GB a month. I can keep downloading more songs since I'm on Premium, but I think even with that I still actively have to watch my data usage and make a conscious effort to conserve data. I dunno, it's just nuts to try to do anything online without breaking your data cap in the world of 1080p and high quality audio streams

OT, but Michael Hartl's RoR tutorials are amazing and helped me learn so quickly. Worth checking out[0] if you're looking to learn

Access Web Apps, on the other hand, are a nightmare. So many stripped features compared to what the Desktop version can do, it was incredibly frustrating to use.

And you legitimately believe that someone who doesn't support Trump doesn't care about the future of our country? You're throwing around an ideal that doesn't really have a black and white definition as a metric to create your us vs them battle, come on now. I'm not a Trump supporter but I certainly detest the political game of charging each side up against each other and neither being able to even BEGIN to comprehend how the other side of the aisle filled out.

Please define "real American" for me[0]
