It was poignant, and you reacted to it like a sore loser, so yes, it was objectively clever

Whoever dies first loses.

I mean, if you treat your inbox as a to-do list, that’s not that far-fetched

Wow you’re insane. “I know, I’ll discredit the woman who just pointed out that it’s hard to get credit in her field as a woman ”

Try spending a new year’s eve in e.g. Germany.

everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.

It’s how dishwashers work: more cycles = more rinsing, then later rinse it all off.

You could do a quick pre-wash, then a long cycling of water, and lastly a rinse with clean water.

That cis women playing against trans women is unfair. As said above, the actual data proves that this is not the case. Of course it’s undeniably true that reactionary dudes (and maybe even women) feel like things are unfair, but the actual facts invalidate that feeling.

The discretized, simplified middle school biology you’re invoking here is simply not a precise enough model to depict reality.

Trans women aren’t “male” from a muscle development perspective, as they don’t have a male hormone profile lol.

Nah, that’s simply not true if you look at the actual data about how well trans athletes perform.

Nuance? On my internet?

In Vietnam, they had bread that was basically tender like milk bread, but with a slightly stronger crust, so just grabbing it, no matter how carefully would result in compressing the inner bun while fracturing the crust.

The both-sidesing was already telling. Sometimes the only “controversial or alternative viewpoints” are just idiotic conspiracy drivel and should be presented as such (or not at all)

Yeah, a measurement cup is half a pint. They are defined volumes

Meh. If the universe is infinite, the likelihood of the super gradual evolution of something like us is 1.

We are observer selection bias.

That was my immediate reaction here: one of the reasons the xz backdoor was possible is that nobody is going to question the idea of shipping a tarball to spare users from having to touch Autotools.

Of course I wouldn’t think of manually hacking together Makefiles since I come from languages that have either the One True Build Tool or a standard for packaging and defining build backends.

I think the author’s aversion to build tools trying (and apparently failing) to make everyone’s life easier is more a statement about how much C/C++ have suffered from not having a standard for packages.

They’re probably not. They might be pretty average for the region though.

I am working as much as the people I rent to. I’m just working a job that generates more value for the public and less value for the company than a comparable job that I could get elsewhere. Therefore they pay me less than if I would work exclusively for some company’s bottom line.

I think the situation is different in different countries.

The assumption in your last last paragraph is very likely incorrect, I asked them outright if they wanted one and they said no, they’re software developers and warming pretty well in their cushy home office, thank you very much.

Nope, that’s very much not correct lol. I’m working. It’s just that you don’t find jobs that pay super much for open source work.

And the people renting my apartment are DINKs, they have a lot of choice about how much free time they have.

No idea about the market price thing. But I’m going to assume you got that wrong too, since the rest of your comment was baseless speculation.

I think it’s hard to morally judge if it’s good or not. I don’t know who would have bought it if not for me: some faceless rent extraction company who keep increasing rent at the maximum legal rate? Or (unlikely in that spot, but possible) a couple who would live there?

As it is now, there’s a couple living there. Software engineers who already said they’ll move on soonish because they think Berlin is cooler. They pay below average rent and the one time something broke, I simply sent a repair person ASAP. Not really people I feel I’m taking advantage of.
