I get sick a little bit every time i hear that story. Even assuming the best of intentions, the risk of it backfiring is so high. It’s like he wants to fuck up his son’s life and burden him with years of therapy.

They’re not sending their finest.

Yeah, it’s unclear to me at the time if the dialogue box in the screenshot appeared when doing a select all operation, but it reads as though the OP dev didn’t understand git, discarded their work, and got upset that it was an option.

Realistically if the dialogue box appeared, I’m not sure there would be anything else the IDE could do to prevent the dev from themselves. Perhaps reject operations affecting 5000 files? But then you’ll just have someone with the same issue for 4000 files.

reading through it, it sounds like they opened a project in VSCode, and it saw that there was a local git repo already initialized, with 3 months of changes uncommitted and not staged. So the options there are to stage the changes (git add) to be committed or discard the changes (git checkout -- .). I guess they chose the discard option thinking it was a notification and i guess the filename would be added to gitignore or something? Instead, it discarded the changes, and to the user, it looked like VSCode did rm -rf and not that this was the behavior of git. Since the changes were never committed, even git reflog can’t save them.

I think in this case, the house report couldn’t be released close to an election, so since Gaetz had a primary and general election, that delayed it by 5 months at least to be after the election. IMO, resigning or not shouldn’t matter to the report being in the public record.

Only 2 seconds in but this will be great to teach in my ESL class. Thanks!!

It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he’ll ever see justice, assuming there’s courts in 4 years.

Gaetz insisted on hiring a 17 year old to manage cybersecurity, what do you expect would happen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but citizens don’t elect the president. This is one of the citizenship questions most naturally born citizens don’t know about.

Mulva?

wtf is this from?

I still prefer Veritaisum over a channel like Mark Rober which has almost 4x the subscribers, with content that sounds informational, but is really just dumbed down. Maybe Mark Rober is more aimed at younger kids, but they both are very similar with trying to make math and science accessible, but executed differently and I think Veriatsium done better.

With videos with exclusive access, i’d imagine it’s difficult to do all the fact checking of everything the company is telling you. Tom Scott also dealt with this, and it requires a tremendous effort. If there are lies being spread and the description isn’t updated or a pinned comment on the video set, then yeah, that’s shitty behavior, but generally I haven’t seen that from Derk.

I hate Trump as much as the next person, and virtually all the pandemic response was a shit show from the White House, but operation warp speed proved to be an actual good thing during a terrible time. It’s very impressive we developed a vaccine so quickly and got us out of the pandemic faster because of it. It’s kinda funny how one of his best accomplishments is the only thing his supporters will boo him about, and he largely can’t take the credit for because of the backlash.

That last video is clearly someone at Tesla being maliciously compliant with the safety rules to check off a box and pass inspection. Whoever designed that does not actually care about safety.

On Jan 20th, she’s going from Vice President to unemployed. Unemployed to governor would be a step up.

How screwed would one be if the domain they bought was a ccTLD and that country ceased to exist?

Pretty sure when Orange Box was released, it included HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 in addition to HL2 Episode 2. Hard to remember because there were so many good games that came from that one purchase.
