Business Idiots. Ed Zitron wrote a whole thing about how many business leaders are out of touch with users and their own products. They live in their own little pocket dimension with each other, and only really care about shareholders.

Yeah, display port worked fine. It was when I plugged the second monitor in to HDMI I realized the problem. And then couldn’t get online to search for issues.

I had to tether the desktop to my phone over USB to get a network connection.

I later installed pop!_os , tested all that stuff, and it worked out of the box.

After booting, test WiFi, BT and audio functionality.

This is an important step. One time I boldly just installed without testing anything in the live session, and discovered that HDMI and Ethernet didn’t work. Woops.

It’s like do-gooder derogation. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-gooder_derogation )

Someone doing something good? Fuck them. They think they’re better than us?? Where do they get off??!?

A lot of people are trash and are emotionally invested in both the way things currently are, and that they are a very good person

Yeah I would use python and pytest, probably.

You need to decide what you expect to be a passing case. Known keys are all there? All values in acceptable range? Do you have anything where you know exactly what the response should be?

How many endpoints are there?

Personally I feel like SQL syntax is upside down, and things are used before they are defined.

SELECT 
a.id -- what the fuck is a?
, a.name
, b.city -- and b??
from users a -- oh 
join city b on a.id = b.user_id -- oh here's b

I’d expect it to instead be like

From users a
join city b on a.id = b.user_id
SELECT
a.id,
a.name,
b.city

One of the shadow of Mordor games made sexy shelob and it was bad.

A lot of those places suck and they’re not going to turn into vibrant cultural centers with social services quickly.

What’s that saying? If conservatives cannot win under democracy, they will not abandon conservatism. They will abandon democracy.

They are bad people choosing to be bad people repeatedly.

In the context of Trump et al doing rape, I don’t think the distinction presented by Kelly really matters. Any amount of sexual assault and abuse is too much.

In what way does it matter here? Is some amount of trump rape acceptable? Is it beneficial to anyone other than trump et Al to split this hair?

Only if you’re still browsing fridge websites!

Lowering indent levels is nice in functions. Early returns mean you don’t have to think as much. “If it got here, I know foo isn’t null because it already would have returned”.

Yeah some comments are not useful

# returns the value as a string
return str(user.id)

Some comments are

# returns the user id as a string because ZenDesk's API throws errors if it gets a number.
# See ticket RA-1037
# See ZenDesk docs: https://etc/
return str(user.id)

I bought a fancy desktop PC recently so I’m not in the market. Otherwise I would consider it, but only if the desktop environment was usable for general computing. I believe it is, but I’m not sure if its version of Linux would be best for like software development.

I feel like contextual ads, where you serve ads based on the surrounding content instead of who the individual user is would be about as effective and tremendously less expensive, complicated, and invasive.

Run football ads on football websites. Run music ads on music websites. That’s how it works in TV, radio, and so on and has for years.

That is a bizarre and ungenerous conclusion. Do you think adults having sex with 15 year olds is okay? What point are you trying to make?

Sometimes the word “Interesting” causes my brain to recall the character generation in Morrowind. The guy says something like ““Interesting. Now before I stamp these papers, make sure this information is correct.””

Conservatism, mostly.

Just remove all violent people first
