Who doesn’t love a Dirtyburger?

I feel the indecision is really just “I’m not sure if I am ready to identify as a 21st century Nazi or not just yet”

Let’s guess which five percent don’t get an increase…

Same. I had a brief pause where I wondered what I was missing all these years as an atheist

I know it’s not, but it looks like the Gardner “expressway” in Downtown Toronto, pretty much any time of day.

Fat lot of good that will do… Last time I was near a UK hospital (Lincoln) the entrance was crowded with smokers. Right underneath the “no smoking” signs. There wasn’t even anyone vaping

Choo choo, I’m a train!

Nope. Because once you normalize tipping, you then start having conversations about how much. Before you know it, you the tipper are paying for peoples wage increases.

I’d rather pay more at the register and see people make a better working wage.

This is one of the very rare occasions I believe what he’s saying…

Good point. But, while a dev says “My bad” and fixes the bug, a politician just shrugs and often doubles down.

At the very least, the Dev will explain to the team why a bug happened so that others don’t repeat the mistake, but a politician won’t address any of the three scenarios you identified.

I fear this metaphor is stretching to breaking point, but the central point remains that it should not be acceptable for a politician to lie, yet somehow here we are…

Except bugs are usually unintentional and, with a good team, found and fixed before they cause any harm - usually before they’re public.

The equivalence would be non-political fact checkers and public apologies and/or policy changes. The media has given up on the first (for the most part) possibly becase politicians just ignore the second.

Politicians stock-in-trade is information. This is their work product.

I am a software developer. If I turn in software that doesn’t work. I get fired.

JD Vance, and all other politicians who lie should also be fired for not doing their jobs.

This is the world I want to live in.

100% agree with this. Just started reading Black Pill by Elle Reeve and it says much the same

They don’t understand irony. Or civility. Or empathy.

But we can definitely all agree they are weird.

I think the one in the hat is The Edge (the guitarist in U2), so I assume the other one is Bono?

While congrats are very much in order here, am I the only one cynically wondering if the word “Out” in the headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting?

40 months is slightly less the six years in the same way my pay check is slightly less than my CEOs

Honestly, it works perfectly with a cable and it’s not laggy at all (at least not for writing code, which is what I do for a living). I also use SwitchResX to go beyond the normal resolution my IPad Pro supports. My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn’t connect first time and I have to restart the software on my Mac.

The only downside is the cost, but i am pretty sure there’s a free trial for it.

There’s an app called Duet (https://www.duetdisplay.com/) you could try. I’ve used it for a couple of years and it works well.

I don’t know what the hate is unless you are trying to store time as a String property. There a special place in hell for all developers who do this.

IMHO, all you really need to know is an Epoch time stamp and whether it’s localized to the viewer or the creator… Not that complex. The problem with time zones is that politicians keep changing them

Honestly, I’d rather give the creator of NULL a slap.
