See, if you would have read my comment and actually bothered to understand it, you would have seen, that I haven’t said no one is at fault here.

So I have to assume, you’re arguing in bad faith, you’re putting words in my mouth to defeat a straw man, while not addressing any of my actual points.

So maybe pull that infantile sarcasm out of your ass and try actually thinking about what you’re saying.

My thoughts exactly.

I think this video gets flak, because (in your scenario) not you and your coworker made a video about having fun, but your boss made you come to the otherwise empty office to act like you’re having fun and use that as advertisement.

Will you categorically stomp your foot and ignore every single argument in that comment as well? Because you’re almost there!

Blaming consumers for things that happen at least three indirections removed from them is childish. A consumer cannot know where all the resources are coming from.

Blaming EVs for this, is just as childish, if not actively evil, since the alternative would be oil extraction and that’s not exactly clean and happy either.

Yes, but that means unconsciousness (and later death).

Well…

People are getting harassed a lot for not supporting their software as others think they should. Look at the xz guy, he basically quit because he couldn’t take it anymore.

It’s emotional extortion, not a physical gun.

The idea is that women are afraid not to have children at all and get emergency children before 30.

That this will turn women into breeding and child caring machines has the nice side effects that you not only get a bunch of women who don’t have time for education, and thus more job security for me men, and it keeps them at home, so you don’t need child care facilities.

So all in all a great step forward into the 1920!

Yeah, I feel like if a customer has an informed opinion about your costumer service, your service obviously forces customers to call customer service too often.

It’s a last resort.

Nationality, race, sex all are things that can’t be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he’s not that!

Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can’t be proud to be a man if it doesn’t matter that you’re a man.

I think being bottom is about getting fucked.

Ich find’s krass, was für ein Erfolg das geworden ist.

Früher gab’s auf XXP immer Spiegel TV Dokus darüber und das wirkte damals wie so ein idealistisches Hobbyprojekt von drei Nerds.

What I seriously can’t estimate is, how persistent is gender identification in youths?

I mean, children and teenagers are generally idiots (I certainly was). As far as I know, there’s no physiological test to determine trans identity, so an outside observer has a really hard time distinguishing real and “fake” trans identity. I’m not even talking about willful deceit, but just the general instability of kids.

So, I can understand that people are hesitant to allow gender affirming care, because they fear they might do more harm than good. Especially if you’re somewhat older, all those trans issues must seem like a new trend, I certainly didn’t hear much about them 10 years ago. Unless there’s something like a proper scientific guideline, all judges and doctors are basically forced to judge themselves and will probably stick to the “old ways”.

As always: further research is needed.

Absolutely. If you tell kids that these two dudes hold hands because they love each other, their natural response is something like “ok”, and that’s it.

Unless they’re in the why phase, but honestly I’d be just as uncomfortable explaining them why leaves are shaped like they are.

Yeah, but that’s the thing: it’s not fast. And that’s actually even more baffling.

All those rewrites cost money. All the shoddy software somewhere in the background of every corporation was written using these shitty libraries, frameworks, APIs. And that means cost.

I’m explicitly not talking about the newest crap Amazon or Google push, they operate under different principles, I’m talking about the data plumbing stuff. The eight billion Spring Boot apps, the PHP sites, the Python pipelines.

Writing and deploying a simple CRUD app, that just takes data from a request and saves it into a DB should be done in a few minutes. The actual “payload” is just input schema, DB schema, transformation rules, maybe auth. That’s it. However, if you want to do that in Spring Boot and K8s, it takes often hours or days to get everything right. Not because Spring Boot is hard, but because you forget a network policy in Helm or the dateformat between JSON/Java/DB is different or that library is outdated or there’s CVE somewhere or you have to look up that shitty mappedBy thingy from Hibernate again (that’s maybe just my problem, I can’t remember that crap) etc. etc. etc.

The basic problem behind is, that we have to take care of so much. Network, business logic, framework detail. You have hardly any layer or platform that is really solid.

Honestly, I would advocate the exact opposite.

Yes, programs became bloated and fragile, but the solution cannot be to return to the stone age, but be professionals for once.

Our entire industry is shit at actually engineering. There’s leaky abstractions everywhere, and that’s exactly why everything is so complicated and brittle. There’s no platform to build upon, only a scaffolding made of twigs, duct tape and three bananas for some reason. Every minor change in some minor library percolates through the entire stack.

You’re a simple developer, so am I. And we both probably wrote hundreds of apps that essentially do the same crud crap again and again and again. The same basic functionality gets implemented thousands of times, because we can’t get our shit together to build actually reusable components. Instead we rewrite the 12th iteration of “make stuff move in browser” and “make Java do business”.

We’re not engineers, we’re children with hot glue guns.

You’re giving them way too much credit. These companies sell the illusion of success. It’s in their interest to only find just as many false positives to seem like they have it under control. They make money from these false positives, after all.

Sure, but what twisted kind of law is that?

Like, would any country put you in jail during peace time (yes, technically Korea is still at war, but technically the third Reich also was never dissolved) for harming yourself? That law seems like a leftover of the military dictatorship.

Die Korrektur zum Kommentar oben: Hoffnung auf Geld.

Händler, vor allem die stationären, haben irgendwie ein sehr sehr seltsames Verständnis von ihren eigenen Kunden und auf Basis dieses Verständnis versuchen sie irgendwie mehr Umsatz zu bekommen.

Ich mein, selbst wenn Kaufhof oder der Klamottenladen in der Innenstadt tolle Angebote hätten, geh ich da halt nicht hin.

Rabatte machen ja nur dann Sinn, wenn man damit das Lager leer kriegt oder auf loss leader hofft und die Kunden noch mehr im eigenen Laden kaufen.
