Yeah, I got that but I don’t think he would notice the difference. If they do anything, he’ll somehow twist it into an argument. Doesn’t have to make sense for anyone but him, he’ll use any excuse to play with his military toys.

I fear that the only option to prevent WW3 is to finally remove him and his friends from power. No, I don’t know how to actually do that.

The problem is, if China and Russia make a move, that only confirms Trump’s delusion that he must take Greenland before they do.

Did we ever get an explanation for that?

Lost? He haven’t had faith in the US for at least 25 years.

Maybe New Zealand? Far enough away from anything interesting and their main exports are dairy products. English as one of the official languages. Only time will tell which way the politics will go.

I tried to summarize it but couldn’t get it to a good length without losing too much detail. I would recommend this Wikipedia article (just run it through some translation tool; it’s way more detailed than the English article).

What they did was far beyond “agile”. They didn’t care for naming conventions, documentation, not committing commented-out code, using existing solutions (both in-house and third-party) instead of reinventing the wheel…

In that first review I had literally hundreds of comments that each on their own would be a reason to reject the pull request.

For any non-trivial software project, spending time on code quality and a good architecture is worth the effort. Every hour I spend on that saves me two hours when I have to fix bugs or implement new features.

Years ago I had to review code from a different team and it was an absolute mess. They (and our boss) defended it with “That way they can get it done faster. We can clean up after the initial release”. Guess what, that initial release took over three years instead of the planned six months.

Nope, 36, almost exactly to the day.

That study seems to have had a massive impact that worsened his insecurities and his hatred for the world. There are other factors though:

• In school (and maybe even in university), he was always the smartest person in the room, years ahead of his peers. That made it incredibly hard for him to find friends.
• Because was that intelligent and talented, he felt entitled to a teaching position while he was still working on his Master and PhD degrees but his preferred university refused so he had to go somewhere else. That probably caused a lot of frustration and resentment.
• When he was about 25, he thought he might be trans and decided to see a psychiatrist to figure out if he should seek gender reassignment treatment. He chickened out at the last moment, talked about something else and apparently had a really bad therapy session. Maybe if he had lived 50 years later, he would have had the opportunity to figure out who he is.

He had always been an outsider who felt the wold was treating him unfairly. No idea if that was paranoia, narcissism, just a lack of good social contacts or a mix of all of that but in the end, some stupid psychological experiment turned it all up to 11.

You know how many queer and nerdy people joke about leaving everything behind and moving to a cabin in the woods? He did that. And then he went a step further and hurt people. Really makes you think how many marginalized people are just one really traumatic experience away from losing it. And instead of trying to help, society slowly reverts back to casting them out, just to be surprised when something happens.

Wait until you hear that he got a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard when he was 20 and became an assistant professor at Berkeley when he was 25.

The sketch was made quite a bit later but he sent his first bomb in the week of his 36th birthday and five more before he turned 40. That’s about a third of his entire “work”.

Not annoying at all. You can log into multiple accounts at once and steam will ask you which one to use on every start.

Might be that they ordered online and the food is done before they get there?

Where I live, linux catgirls drink Club Mate.

Depending on your local laws, you might need to take estrogen for a while and/or change your government ID before you can get one.

Until then, I recommend striped socks and cat ears.

I refuse to use overly smart devices. Yes, I have a few zigbee light switches and thermostats that are controlled by a local HomeAssistant installation but why would I want to by my fridge, dishwasher and toothbrush to be connected to the internet?

Maybe a meme-centric pixelfed instance?

Have you seen how the guy changes his opinion depending on who talked to him last?

Half of Trump sees Europe as the enemy of Trump.
