This is somebody who bends over backwards to support a single idea: humans can do no wrong. It’s not fascism because it doesn’t sound like there’s any side-taking or specific ideology they favor over others. They might be a flavor of anarchist?

The lack of empathy leads me to think that the ideology was built one selfish brick at a time. It’s a response to the world, not a governance of it. They want zero responsibilities derived from the actions of others. To a degree, they may have a point: inaction is allowance. If you don’t stop something from happening, you’re allowing it but it’s lacking a lot of nuance. If you accept it as it is, there’s no room for obligation. That’s freeing which is probably their end goal. Not a good society, but a simple escape from responsibilities.

It’s a self-serving ideology.

It shouldn’t have to be a privilege to be able to turn down a job because of poor decisions management makes, but you can really only get away with this if you have options.

This should be the norm

I think it was Technology Connection’s Alec who pointed out something I never thought of. When he talked with people about oil, he realized that he had a preconception that oil was a stepping stone. He assumed that everyone agreed that at some point THE goal in energy production is to replace oil, not add more power sources to it. When he said that, my matching bias was suddenly put in the spotlight. Since then I’ve wondered how people like Alito don’t see this as the obvious next step.

I’m only being pedantic. Toml is not bad. Yaml I personally don’t like because I don’t approve of semantically required whitespace but I know I’m in the minority there.

• It’s not the norm in smaller companies, but big companies can use config servers where an app will retrieve its config on startup over the network. To be fair, I think they fall back to a platform specific encoding though.
• Better hope it’s built in. I don’t remember the last time I verified a Content-Length was accurate. Also this generally applies to networking; disk writes don’t get this same verification especially if a process is killed mid-write.
• True point, no real notes. I’ve recently been dealing with streaming JSON for AI, it’s SOO verbose for the few tokens that come across in each message. I don’t know how gRPC wasn’t chosen, or at least made an option, but oh well.

You make good, valid points and I know I’m talking about edge cases that require the stars to align to break. It reminds me of an old, not-quite-relevant-but-oh-well saying “a ‘one in a million’ chance at 1GHz happens every millisecond.” The law of large numbers isn’t always on our side.

:̶.̶|̶:̶;̶

Not-so-fun fact: if you’re transferring a yaml or toml file and the transfer is incomplete, the receiving app may not even know! Yaml and toml both have a good chance of being apparently valid when cut off randomly. This doesn’t impact JSON because of the enclosing {} or [].

“if the brain discards unused neurons, why [should] society keep their equivalent”

A shitty argument by shitty people. The appeal to nature would probably be less of a problem if we didn’t abandon nature by creating society.

Let’s save the library of Alexandria and just retry society from there and then

Can I play non steam games with the Steam Controller? The controller can work with any game compatible with the Steam Overlay.

Just… Say no. I appreciate they answered the very next question I would have asked, but answer the question that you added to your own FAQ. Maybe it’s my autism nitpicking but this really gets under my skin.

Roller Coaster Tycoon came out in 1999 but I notice it didn’t come preinstalled on Mint. Is my install broken? /s

Scientifically, there’s no way to tell the difference between the antibodies of people who have been sick with COVID and those who have been vaccinated against it, one doctor said.

How about I run the blood bank. Sounds like free money. Hell yeah I’d charge.
