I think we all know that one of those two things will never happen in the land of the free and home of the mass-produced automobile.

Cardiovascular disease is a bitch, eh?
Thinks that water destroys magnets.
No no, you see: water is 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. Hydrogen is a key component of nukes, and nukes destroy magnets. Trump was telling us in code, because the baby-eating Dems are looking for an excuse to have him replaced with a body double so he can’t give obvious messages.

I hope the satire is obvious
A reminder: Google added support for and then subsequently dropped JPEGXL support in Chrome. Fuck Google.
Type-safe lipstick :)
To offer a differing opinion, why is null helpful at all?
If you have data that may be empty, it’s better to explicitly represent that possibility with an Optional<T>
generic type. This makes the API more clear, and if implicit null isn’t allowed by the language, prevents someone from passing null where a value is expected.
Or if it’s uninitialized, the data can be stored as Partial<T>
, where all the fields are Optional<U>
. If the type system was nominal, it would ensure that the uninitialized or partially-initialized type can’t be accidentally used where T
is expected since Partial<T>
!= T
. When the object is finally ready, have a function to convert it from Partial<T>
into T
.
Hmmm, let’s see:
Yeah, I don’t see women lining up around the block for this catch of a human being.
You have to pass new laws to match the digital world.
They did—it’s called the DMCA, and it’s working exactly as they intended it to.
Ah, but you see, that’s where the national security and economic prosperity conditions come in. Can’t be having alternative teachings encouraging terrorism and communism, you know?
In turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.
For-profit healthcare: 🤑
If only the system wasn’t designed to squash third parties. Blue gives very little fucks either, it seems.
I mean, if you consider bigotry to be a mental health disorder, sure.
Next month:
This court finds that, without any question of interpretation, church and state, including publicly-funded education institutions, must be separated. We also find that, with the evidence considered, the teaching of the Bible does not violate the separation of church and state. Teaching of religious texts may, for educational purposes, be added to school curriculum when said curriculum does not mandate teachings containing subjects contrary to the interests of national security and economic prosperity.
No no no, it’s the inverse-funnel vacuum economic model. It’s shaped like a pyramid with a hat, and the wealth gets sucked up held for safe keeping by those at the top.
The official Democratic candidates must get better, more evocative talking-points.
They don’t actually have our interests in mind either, unfortunately. Both sides are funded by and serve corporate interests, and the Republican Party is just more open about pushing policies that benefit said interests.
Yeah, but that’s thinking long-term. CEOs of publicly traded companies don’t give a shit about anything other than making the line go up during their own employment at the company.
Op: Name and shame, please.
In some jurisdictions, you can’t hire foreign workers unless there are no local workers that meet the job requirements. Posting a fake position with the intent to deny all candidates is usually sufficient to demonstrate that an attempt was made to search for local talent. They can’t admit it without getting into a lot of trouble, however.
Paying people more is a recurring cost, and the ultimate goal of a company is to keep increasing profits. If they can spend $10k once to scare their employees into being more productive, it has a better return on investment.
I subscribe to the theory that they do, but instead take inspiration from them.
