Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.

This is my fear as well. Neoliberal policies are exactly what have made the extreme right so strong and powerful over the past decades. When people have no means to get forward in life, they resort to despotism, which is exactly why the poorest parts of the USA are so strongly in favor of Trump, while the wealthier parts are still clinging onto the liberal train.

Like I said in other posts, this is a good day for the current term, but if the Liberals aren’t serious about making life better for real Canadians (not the super-wealthy ones), there’s a good chance that this is only exacerbating an inevitable collapse.

Ironically, Trudeau hanging around for a long as he did may have saved Canada. If this election had happened in the middle of last year, the Conservatives would have probably won and combined with Trump, it would have been a disaster. Possibly the smartest/luckiest thing he has ever done.

Conservatives still winning over 40% of all votes total. Definitely a very bad sign.

Agreed. Incumbents always do worse in the next election. Makes me shudder to think what the result of the next election is going to be. Trudeau’s latest term was really bad and they got no punishment for it whatsoever thanks to the gift from the south. And Canada seems to be moving further and further away from proportional representation. So who will voters swing to next election?

Great result for today’s Canadians. Terrifying result for future Canadians.

I didn’t read the article, but I presume this is under the DMA which has provisions for increasing fines for repeat offenses - something like 10% of global revenue or something like that. I’m also a bit discouraged by how small the number is, but there is still some hope that it will either increase or get them to change their practices. But it is quite frustrating how slowly it’s going.

In fact, chances are that Apple is going breaking the law until the last minute so they can squeeze every penny they can out of this scheme until they can’t do it any longer.

I found this interesting as someone who really enjoys using the |> operator that’s present in a bunch of other languages. I also like how it uses “result or error”-like types to be able to report errors from the pipeline too.

Highly unlikely that I’d ever use this in code I work with personally, but an interesting and fresh take. I definitely learned a few new interesting concepts from reading this!

Milk has always grossed me out for weird reasons. Reading comments like this makes me glad for that.

And for anyone that has some kind of gross facts about oat milk, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT THANKS!!!

Exactly. It’s just a matter of time before President Dumbass wakes up with another batshit insane idea and throws the world into total disorder again because of whatever idiocy he thought up. And this is on top of the fact that “doing whatever he wants” is a dangerously stupid policy for any country to adopt to begin with.

How about neither? Both China and the USA have proven themselves to be unreliable trade partners. In fact, a lack of reliability is inherent in any trade relationship. The conventional theory is that trade brings prosperity (true!) and governments want to maintain that prosperity, so they have a (literally) vested interest in preserving that - and this latter part is not so true anymore these days. (We all know why of course, it’s because the prosperity is not shared equally in the USA, and China is unstable because it’s a totalitarian state that will happily immolate itself in order to save face - but this is besides the point.)

The important point is that while trade is nice because it brings greater prosperity, it also comes with security risks and as we move into a new age of geopolitics, we need to be aware of this and find a better balance between trade and security. It will be hard, because it’s so easy to be greedy and focus only on economics, but hopefully we will continue learning the lesson of finding this balance as we see more and more crazy things unfold over the course of this decade.

Smart decision. China has already made clear attempts to coerce Australia, not just economically1, but militarily as well 2, 3.

As grim as foreign relations look with the USA, it would be foolish to immediately run to China instead, because they clearly do not intend to have a symmetric relationship with any of their partners either.

Git turns 20: A Q&A with Linus Torvalds

Pretty sure he’s older than that. And calling people names isn’t nice!

But was this a reversion of the previous commit…?

When is the last time anything Microsoft made was an upgrade…? Word 97??

You’re right! But I see this as a perversion of education. Education should not be a job training programme. It should teach you how to think and learn. It should be a place where you “learn how to learn” to put it more accurately.

So if you learn how to use LibreOffice in schools, you should be able to adapt when you arrive in the workplace and use MS Office instead - especially if you are still young.

And in my opinion, having experience with two office suites makes you more productive in the end anyway. I think it helps teach you how to translate capabilities from one product to another and makes you more knowledgeable about how each of them works. At least that’s what happens to me in my experience when I learn two analogous pieces of software.

Indeed. For the Finns, the hardest part of the coronavirus pandemic was adjusting to 2m of social distancing, down from their preferred distance of 5m.

There may still be lawsuits, however. There are still many ways that he could lose a lot of what he gained.

I prefer eating fresh food, which means that I usually have to go to the store roughly every other day. If I buy more than a couple days of food, it just means more crap in the fridge and more spoilage.

And if my food did last longer than a few days without spoiling, then I’d really start to question what it was made of…

Editing to add that this is easily possible because I have several stores within a short walk or ride on the transit, as it was also pointed out in a sibling comment.

Why just 90%? Make it 99%! 100%! 150%!

It’s also important to note that Putin intentionally keeps all other leaders in Russia as weak as possible to maintain his iron grip. Unless he has a very good succession plan, things could become quite a clusterfuck before the dust settles.
