These are both brilliant. I applaud you!

Sadly, you’re right.

So do Americans.

What planet do these people live on?

Flat Earth

Step 1. Dehumanize the enemy.

SB 1780, would make accusing someone of being homophobic, transphobic, racist or sexist, even if the accusation is true, equivalent to defamation, and punishable by a fine of at least $35,000. If passed, the bill would severely limit and punish constitutionally protected free speech in the state.

W. T. F?!?!?!?!?

The slow roll toward Civil War continues.

We have given them written explanations, had meetings, shown screenshots. But nothing gets through.

They’re not paying attention, then. If they used it for a week, they’d probably just write off any problems as “eh, that’s how it’s designed.”

Some folks just don’t get that there’s more to writing software than the code. The human element is super important.

I think every coder should be forced to use their own software for one month out of every year they work on it (and be able to do the job that goes with it because how the fuck else are they going to get a clue?).

At my company, all developers spend time every year in customer support. It gives us first hand experience with what our customers are running into and asking for. We also work directly with field consultants on their projects. It’s not exactly this, but it’s pretty close, and it works really well.

The Venn diagram is a circle

Making it illegal to take your kid to another state to do something that’s legal in the other state? Huh. The Second Civil War is going to be fought over states’ rights. Specifically, reproductive rights.

That’s not what this is about. It’s about people who simply are Jewish.

It’s already started. We just haven’t named it yet.

Go look outside in your hedge.

With multiple cursors, we can see more of the dungeon, uh, I mean code.

There are other version control systems out there, and have been for decades. So yes, I would consider git to be modern.

The bill also gives people the ability to justify use of “defensive force” upon an unhoused person in instances of criminal trespass, including “unlawful camping” on the owner’s property. This would allow property owners to use deadly force against unhoused people on their property without facing criminal consequences.

I hope this bill has some “defensive force” applied to it before it becomes a law.

If you have multiple similar lines, you can perform the same editing on them all at once.

That’d be up the butt, Bob.
