Yeah, standard practice is to set up source control before doing any work at all. Then you add whatever project template/scaffolding files to an initial commit and make it, and keep committing from there.

You should always be committing early and often. Saves you a lot of headache and make it a lot easier to clean up your history later too.

Monorepos are a thing. But obviously this is something entirely different.

Reviewers are not infallible and are largely focused on the meat of the MR rather than every single detail.

It reflects much more poorly on you than it does on them.

My wife and I think it is. I took her last name since it meant more to her.

The billionaires are the real problem. Targeting anyone else is just a distraction.

There’s no need for a bicameral system. It was a system designed to capitulate to wealthy interests and nothing more.

Don’t need the Ord instance for equality, just Eq is sufficient. Ord is for inequalities.

The point of the post is that most mainstream languages don’t provide a way to automatically derive point-wise equality by value, even though it’s pervasively used everywhere. They instead need IDEs to generate the boilerplate rather than the compiler handling it.

Ah could be hardware/OS, yeah. I believe everyone at our company are on MacBooks (I’m a Linux guy myself, but orgs don’t usually like that).

My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and while I like it for various reasons, it has had plenty of problems with the built-in mic and video (mostly the mic). So it very well could be that.

We have like 250, mostly remote and on Slack all the time. There’s the occasional hiccup here and there, but generally it’s pretty seamless.

I’ve personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.

Probably.

Hell, I used it to figure out the optimal viewing angle when mounting my TV on the wall.

It’s not the only reason (they’re just truly terrible people across the board), but no one in my family has talked with my grandparents on my dad’s side in many, many years because of this. Rightwing nutjobs with no grip on reality and no idea how shitty they are. I’m pretty sure they don’t even know that they are great grandparents now (technically, anyway).

It’s more of a sexual orientation… Or I guess perversion?

It’s delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

Pretty sure that would go a long way in Austin.

Incidentally, also terrorist-supporrinf organizations.

I was born in 1990. Fully a '90s kid.

I was born in 1990 and remember lots of stuff.

In absolute terms, they aren’t the majority. 73m voted for him out of the 161m eligible voters in the US, or ~45% (Harris has ~43%). Still a frighteningly high number, but it also means it’s possible to find support for resistance, at least if things start to get bad enough. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans that like to think that politics don’t concern them and that we should just be apolitical. So they’re going to need a wake-up call first before they would lend their support. Trump will likely give it to them in short order as his fascist policies start to directly affect them.

Also, keep in mind that the total population (~334m as of 2023) is much larger than the population that is eligible to vote. There are many young people that are too young to vote now but still old enough to fight tyranny, former felons who are ineligible to vote but eager to fight oppressive systems, not to mention the scores of people not counted among eligible voters due to not being registered to vote, either through complacency/disillusionment (see above) or active sabotage and disenfranchisement by Republicans (and in many ways, you could say these are one in the same).

Fascists may have power and have won the popular vote, but it doesn’t mean it’s the will of the people. It means they’ve successfully gamed our very broken system. But real, average people living their lives will fight when the oppression comes to them. Maybe it will be too late, but maybe not. Revolution only needs a single spark.
