Whichever one you choose, be sure to select the one that gives you the experience of waiting on tables packed with rich, white, fat blobs of flesh and decadence opining on what it may be like to be the server, an ethnic minority, sixty years of age and five years away from retirement, still hauling sacks of ice out back to raise enough cash to make sure they can fill their rice cooker with enough food to make dinner for three tonight.
This will ensure the most authentic experience, as opposed to some cheap simulation whites use to amuse themselves and vicariously live the life of a human who's actually had to fight for their lot.
Oh, right, this is Hacker News. None of you actually give a father flying fuck. It's more important to leave a digital paper trail merely suggesting that you do.
Would you make the same argument for amphetamines? Wonder what Erdős would have to say about this.
As far as communication goes, frankly, I regard large swaths of the internet as hostile and cognitohazardous. I'd rather be cut off. Though, fortunately the choice has already been made for me - there is no escaping assimilation.
The psychological dependence is already taking root; the societal dependence is next to come. Cash is dirty. There are no taxis to hail on the road. You require a COVID app to gain entry to this venue.
Why are you focusing on LGBTQ+ which, as some other posters have noted, appear over-represented in media (relative to their occurrence in the population), and not transracial people who receive effectively zero representation in media? Do you think it's acceptable to punch down like this?
Nothing to do with being misinformed, everything to do with starting life on easy mode as a privileged white free from socioeconomic pressures and - yes, what a foreign concept - a life of prolonged existential, primal fear around gaining and maintaining shelter and sustenance.
Correct. In more mainstream language, quoth Gary Bernhardt, "functional core, imperative shell."
Functional programming is a convenient fantasy, a highly restrictive and controlled environment that allows us to make large assertions about bodies of code - "no network IO can take place here"; "your inputs will most assuredly be numbers that can be added together."
It's the equivalent of assuming the cow is a sphere [0]. A useful mental model, that ultimately breaks down upon contact with the "real world."
Hence the imperative glue code / monadic actions wiring all of the pretty, perfect abstractions together.
No thanks. If this is the state of socialization in an era where online discourse is controlled by private interests with "agile" ethics, and people are too afraid to socialize in real life for a growing number of reasons, I'll deepen my mastery of hermitage.
Bootcamps and anti-intellectual sentiment spreading through the software development community have convinced newer developers that web APIs and other high-level frameworks/languages are actually the bedrock of abstraction, and that nothing important lies beneath (if they even recognize there IS something beneath). Nothing ever breaks down there, anyway. And if something does, it's not my problem to fix.
16 weeks at a bootcamp is enough to get you up to speed with the important parts of a rigorous 4 year education into the foundations of computing. No one needs to know CS or computer engineering anyway. It's just like math - useless.
I'm a software developer. How does software work, you ask? Uh...
Slack. We've gone from terminal IRC clients running on practically no memory, to shipping entire Chrome/Electron installations that allow you to conveniently log in with a button that opens your real Chrome browser, so that you can go back to Electron and accomplish the exact same things IRC did, except with slower load times, frequent service outages, eternally shifting UIs and redesigns, memory footprints that stretch even a 16GB system, and creative reinterpretations of the input field widget.
Oh. And emoji.
Too bad systems for globally coordinating the development of software never existed in the past. I wonder where we would be without Slack.
It's the New York Times, an esteemed institution in the advertising industry. I'm sure they have done their journalistic due diligence in accurately representing the myriad of individual opinions and zeitgeist of these broad demographic groups.
They are after all a left-leaning publication, and thus are woke to the dangers of making overly broad generalizations.
Correct. The mechanics of the advertising industry and the incentives it imposes on other industries are some of the greatest evils our society has created in recent memory.
