Such a bizzare way to respond.

Laptop being thinner is a trade off you're willing to make, I am not.

Charging a battery with another battery is extremely inefficient.

Lugging around laptop batteries is exactly the same thing as lugging around power banks, except laptop batteries don't require a dongle and a cable to tether you to a table.

Laptop batteries mean you laptop can continue to in fact work from your lap.

The usual reasoning behind this is to confirm the phone is properly functioning before opening it up.

Lots of people try to scam repair shops bringing broken phones in.

On top of that repairs can often break fingerprint scanner connections and depending on the screen type its good to check camera functionality after screen replacement.

Spoken like someone that should probably be using a desktop.

Personally, having backup batteries is a requirement for the places I work.

What do you mean unsubstantiable?

Pretty much, this comment spawned an entire thread of replies from, most likely, angry white people, complaining about the man who's name was in the title.

Not a single one had anything to say about Britanny King or what she had to say to Bret.

Got that? The video only briefly touches on Britanys interview with Jordan Peterson, and instead of hearing the black woman's ideas on BLM these psychopaths would rather complain about Jordan Peterson, they don't even realise the interview is barely about him.

He's really not controversial though?

All of his "controversy" I manufactured in hit pieces that misquote and take things out of context to push a narrative that isnt based on objective reality.

There are no parts.

I was pointing out that JP has trans feminists on his show. The idea that he is hateful is just fucking dillusional.

But Medium specifically recruited people who care about the world, and justice, and believe in the freedom of speech and transparency.”

I fit this bill to a t, medium sounds like a great place to work.

The progressive left is slowly finding out that the general left doesn't give a shit about them and is finally starting to wake up to the fact they don't have to put up with be called a racist trump supporter for simply disagreeing with the woke left on any of its insane ideas.

Capitalism is fundamentally about exploiting labour

That's a very Marxist view. And no, it's not. Capitalism is fundamentally exploiting the planets resources, mostly hydrocarbons.

You can easily pay people a fair market wage and still produce a profit by exploiting the planet or even just market inefficiencies.

The Marxist view assumes that if there is profit it should be shared between workers for their labour.

This view completely ignores the costs and risks involved with capital expenditures.

It also assumes that markets are efficient, they're not.

Also, everyone just loves watching Intel suffer.

This is such a weird fucking statement.

Apple literally think they own your hardware after you buy it, and Intel are the evil ones?

I don't really do fanboyism, currently own Mac, windows, Linux, Intel, amd, android, iPhone, switch and PlayStation.

I just use what I use but I don't get so attached, apple has been lacking for years. M1 is ok but honestly it feels like they've only just caught up to everyone else.

Not really about wasting their time, its about wasting their time at school and the likely drugs theyll take up if it continues long enough.

I saw a lot of kids go on to higher education only to mostly waste it. They were there because their parents made them, not because they wanted to be there.

I worked for a year before going to uni, after that, I really wanted to be there. Working sucked. I wanted a better job. When I hit uni, I was extremely motivated to learn.

There is no amount of money that can compensate the archeological loss from the intentional flooding of these areas.

Multiple cradle of civilization level sites were flooded with not enough funding or effort given to excavating these sites thoroughly before flooding.

Did you mean to say trash?

It depends how it goes.

If they start wasting their time there I'll take them out, they can work or go to Polytech.

If they are using their time wisely they can stay.

It really doesn't make much sense to go an alternative route unless you need to.

If they're at risk of dropping out and doing more harm than good, get them out of there.

This is a major understatement.

My hobby channels have completely dominated every other form of content in my life at this point.

Properly implementing OKRs.

Governments are completely run by monetary expenditure.

You don't spend all your budget cause you savy? Great, we'll put that money with someone else next year.

Spend all your money on junk? Great we'll give you more money next year because you clearly need it.

What needs to happen is to decouple monetary spend from incentives.

Incentivise saving money and use escape hatches to protect budgets from fluctuations (saving one year might not be recurring, this shouldn't affect your spend next year)

sharing sensitive digital intelligence with foreign governments was not illegal.

Maybe it's time it should be.

Yes. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Cym4TZwTCNU

I kind of liked the framing.

Often times there really isn't much more to be said than just do the thing, but there are better ways of saying it, this, is one of them.

They're mostly extracted from broken screen phones that are otherwise perfectly working.

They're not stolen. But carry on pushing apples narrative that they own everything even after its sold.

Notes longstanding problems, but isn't aware of calendar feature that has been around for a decade?

Thunderbird had some big hi changes over that time, you might like it.

Elaborate on what? They're an opinion that data integrity is dependent on foreign keys containing pointers at existing data.

In systems where actual row deletion doesn't actually happen its kind of a pointless kick to the nuts.

Now I have to create things in a specific order for no reason other than foreign keys say so. When you're using uuids for reference keys you're not beholden to what order you insert you can have these things span databases or have separate systems do the insert.

For a naive example, maybe I have an order A, and two orderliness A1, A2, why do I have to create A before I create A1 and A2. Why can't I loadbalance those three operations to different systems that insert at different timings.

Eventually they all line up, and my system is resilient enough to be ok with that.

With foreign keys you're just beholden to some feigned idea about data integrity but it's mostly bullshit.

The other common situation is when you need to backup tables and restore them elsewhere in whatever order you want, foreign keys just get in the way.

I still don't like using foreign keys. They just make things harder to work with for very little gain.

Wait for the crows.

Mac os hasn't just worked for developers for a long time.

They missed the entire container revolution with docker. I still come across Devs using Mac's that are afraid of docker because it's too confusing and black box. (It's Linux in there right?)

At work we have a rather overengineered method of proxying to our production services for security reasons. Mac users are currently constantly having to deal with abstraction layers on top of abstraction layers to make things barely reliable. I just use a systemd unit file and haven't looked at it in years.

Homebrew tool, while great for more obscure things, it should really only be a fallback, not the default. It's basically a confusing and black box version of the AUR.

BSD/apple ways of doing things are just annoying. It's fine for the average user. But for Devs that want to do things in the same way they do them on their server it's just another hoop to jump through.

The sad thing is that moving every Dev in the company over to Linux would probably be worthwhile long term, but I really don't think they have the willpower to relearn things even if they are that much better.

There aren't many credible journalists left. Maybe like 5.

It shouldn't matter what his role is. Saying some off the cuff stuff a few years ago in an obscure book doesn't make a workplace unsafe. That is disingenuous.

I've seen people fired for similar "unsafe" bullshit. Literally anything can trigger these deranged individuals. They're just out to play victim and get attention.

And no, I don't think all toxic workplace behaviour is like this, many places have narcissists and similar types roaming the halls making things extremely traumatic for many people. That stuff is real and I feel for the people that get out through the ringer by these environments.

But a book? 6 years ago? In the context of a zombie apocalypse hypothetical? Get the fuck outa here.

I feel like they fumbled the ball a bit. Vscode was flailing for a long time before I finally switched away from sublime text. Sublime text had ample time to move the needle on the problems they had for years and ignored.

I don't think I could go back at this point, there isn't any real drawbacks staying with vscode and it's more likely to work with my companies processes.

Title needs fixing. This is chrome only.
