I can feel it at a funeral, a wedding, a birth, a Requiem for a nation defeated etc etc

I agree that would be ideal.

I flat out do not trust each of the 500 devs operating on our codebase to maintain comments.

Tests are documentation, code can be documentation. Those run through CI.

If you can keep comments updated at scale, do it. If you can’t don’t pray for a miracle and find something that you actually can enforce

Pretty much every dev I know is rooting against their corporate overlords.

I’m entirely unconvinced you read what I wrote

This is why buddy said they’re being pedantic.

For example, if I found and posted a plain statement of fact headline for Russia, would that be evidence that manufactured consent isn’t a thing? No. Of course not.

To look at these kinds of things, you can’t just cherry pick. These concepts are laid bare as a result of aggregating reporting. It’s a statistical thing.

So while this is an example, for the reasons posted, it’s not a great one. And you could take that feedback and post a better one. You could understand the argument. You’re completely right, so why not choose examples that don’t leave yourself vulnerable to valid criticism of your specific choices?

Writings self documenting code is so important.

Comments get stale and over time transition from: accurate to outdated, to eventually flat-out lies.

Go hard in the paint when choosing method or variable names. If it’s hard to give them coherent names, that’s a code smell.

Kristallnacht II : The Returnening

Bugs has married Elmerseveral times

I like that the premise of this was that he called up his wife to tell her that.

Even worse than it being wrong, is that by nature of the tool it looks right.

In a speculative market, which is the reality in which we both exist, share value can absolutely be divorced from a balance sheet. As you’ve pointed out, that is the case here.

So what is the speculative value to an investor? Why ISN’T it zero?

If you have a theory better than “investors believe he’ll use his position as president to increase the value of his own holdings if he wins” I’d be curious to hear it.

Maybe it’s by making presidential decisions contingent on “friendly actions” like buying shares if you’re a foreign nation or even a domestic interest. Maybe he’ll award government communication contracts.

Super interested in an alternative explanation, though.

Oh for sure. It’s effectively been a proxy for election betting since it’s inception. Investors know if he wins it’s a vehicle for people to buy his favour by adding demand pressure. As long as Trump thinks he might win, he has to keep his position.

I’m all for dunking on Trump, but you (or anyone here) should read the article.

It didn’t trigger because the price was tanking. It triggered because it was going up too fast.

It was on news of Trump saying he wasn’t going to sell.

Wow sweet did we provide any?

LITERALLY 1484

No efficient way.

Chatgpt told me 188 but then admitted it was 120 after I bullied it and then landed on 95

Edit:

Great news gamers, chatgpt just explained why despite a net loss in 2023 the industry is expected to turn a profit by 2029

If you’re so absent from reality that this far in you still haven’t decided if Trump is a bad guy or not, I’m sure you’re statistically more likely to have an ex wife.

And I agree that anyone who is comfortable saying “my bitch ex wife” on a public forum is already for Trump, but there are plenty of people with ex wives they don’t want to be reminded of.

Again, I’m not going to sugar coat this: the world is unfair and sexist.

People hold emotionality against people differently based on gender, so yeah, I do.

The minute she starts to sound like “my bitch ex-wife” that’s going to do something visceral.

It’s not right or fair, but it is.
