Why only the past?


No, but being wrong makes you wrong.
There is a world where the NDP is a viable candidate, and Layton proved that.


I’ve never found it more useful than the rubber duck my first senior dev gave me.
Explaining the problem and explaining your code has been more reliable to me, even if to a rubber duck. (Well now he has friends but still)


I disagree that its ignoring the bigger problem, which is that slop like this is overwhelming devs to get fixes out ASAP faster than they can fix.
So now we have AI big reports feeding AI big fixes in a lot of projects.
The assumption that what AI finds is correct in the first place is… Probably wrong.
It makes stuff up all the bloody time, so how many of these bugs were made up, or not actually bugs?


I feel like you missed the forest for the trees.
The question is how many were made up?


You say thats not valid criticism, but yet I can’t think of another language that has a debate over semicolons.
Maybe that’s just me not be exposed in my career to more ones like that, and there are still petty squables in every language yes.
But the fact you have to have the second paragraph, and defend it, is the problem your replying to. something so core to a language like line ending syntax, is figured out in all other laugauges. You don’t have to mentally be prepared to unfril that layer of syntax.

It must be nice to not live in reality.
Because he won in a broken system yes, but thats still winning…


This isn’t about agreeing or disagreeing with the opinion being expressed, but about whether the government should be expressing an opinion at all.
How is a pride flag an opinion is a pretty fair question to this statement. You compare it to an opinion, so it must be comparable right?


Why are gay people an opinion?


How does that change anything? He still won the election.


How the fuck is that the logical conclusion?


How old do you think computer Tech’s are? There’s been programmers since the 60s on punch cards. There’s totally careers worth of work there.
That doesn’t make it not a tax. It makes it not an income tax.
Sorry auto correct got the best ofe there. Just what a tax is.
Its just a charge levied by the government. You think taxes are only income taxes, but thats just one type of tax.
In the same way tarrifs are also taxes, so would be making an employer pay for govermenet benifit, would also be a tax.


Just because you didn’t intend to disrespect someone, doesnt mean you didn’t. Impact over intent every time. Its a shitty thing to do. So someone should kiss your ass and hold your hand through misgendering someone?
Your personal gripes about they are frankly just your opinion on them, and I’m not givibg it more weight that that.
Like I said in a different reply,
This is people asking for the respect and thought to you know, check a profile before you speak. No one here got offended, it was called out as a dick move, as it should have been.
If you don’t see that as basic respect, thats part of the problem.
EDIT: it’s the same level of respect as spelling someone’s name correctly.
Its kinda shitty thing to do. Mistakes happen, but it says a lot when people dig their heels in.
I don’t think you understand what a century tax is. Because thats what that is.


I happened to pick up in the article the neutral pronoun and have avoided it, but to accuse a pretty casual use of a prounoun as being a shitty thing to do is… a shitty thing to do.
Why should misgendering be treated with more respect than the respect given?
Incidentally, I hate the plural pronoun as the stand in for unspecified. Especially when talking about a company versus an individual, it is useful to use the plural to refer to company and a singular for the individual. Otherwise it’s a vague mess. It’s so confusing when folks are using plural to refer to singular people.
Sorry but they has always been both singular and plural.
‘Can you flag the waiter when they’re not busy?’ Has always been grammatically correct. Its always been the ‘I’m not sure option’. You don’t say he/she when you don’t know how to refer to someone, you use they.
If they’re not paying enough, why are we subsidising them? Why are they still benifical?
Do you think if Walmart had to pay all of the food stamp costs of their employees, do you think Walmart would dissapear and replaced by nothing?
I also encourage you to look up how much federal tax Amazon pays
If its of a certain size yes, but the planes that actually crash everyday don’t get reported widely because they’re tiny aircraft
