It’s called a network effect and it’s the same reason everyone is on TikTok or Facebook or here. Like it or not when I started my project (a few months ago) people told me “you need to create a Twitter account, that’s where the people are”. I did, only post updates to the project, don’t use it to actually follow people, but I still have a few dozens followers.

Multiplicity reboot?

Serious cage is best cage.

where did Hitler and the Nazis go in 1945

Uh… the dark side of the moon? Hello?!?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

The Hubble Suggestion just doesn’t sound the same.

Ah yes, what C needs is VTABLEs.

Illegal I don’t know, but it could be considered bullying.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

Are you insinuating that Ken Buck is inflammable?

I know, buddy… I know.

He’s not wrong, but this comes off as “it’s only a banana Michael”. If he’s talking about a house, then yes. If he’s talking about groceries, that adds up quickly. Don’t just pay interests on everything.

I think the number of voters in general will decrease if Trump wins, considering he wants to get rid of elections entirely.

Sure, but how many people are casting uncommitted or seeing how unpopular Biden is and are going to stay home in November because of it? My guess is not zero.

I get the protest and the timing, but it’s unclear if it’s really inoffensive in the general.

49% of Americans can’t afford a 1000$ emergency. I can see why you would use your credit card, try to pay it with your next paycheck, paycheck is late (because of course it is) then miss credit card payment.

Those are very thin margins that a lot of Americans deal with.

My kid is learning HTML so… maybe?

If she’s genuine, I could see her still believing that once Trump is out of the party for good that the republicans will go back to be regular conservatives and she’ll be welcomed in that party for 2028/32.

Personally I think the party is now too deep into MAGA to ever come back without some major restructuring.

Trump: make me.

I also studied Blade. - You mean the blade? - no no. Blade. The whole trilogy. Like a million times. I can recite it by heart.

Factoid; all chess games are technically 4D.

That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.

The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.

But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.
