I’m not following.
babygoat··on Ask HN: Is there any app or extension for remote office coffee breaks?
We use the donut app in Slack which pairs you with someone every week to set up a chat. It’s not the same as being face to face, but it keeps you in touch with people who you may not otherwise talk to in a work context.
babygoat··on Ask HN: Which book do you want to read next?
Kind of a dumb title, but it'll make sense when you read it. I have zero interest in motorcycles (let alone maintenance), but it's a fantastic read.
babygoat··on How do you deal with mental switching between projects/clients/areas?
I second the meditation suggestion. It’s a brain software problem.
babygoat··on FBI agents track cell phones that pinged near the Capitol
Are you talking about getting downvoted? Or how are people using things against one other on HN?
babygoat··on Tell HN: Today is the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century
There was no year 0. A century is 100 years. So the first century was years 1 - 100, and the 20th from 1901 - 2000.
babygoat··on Parler’s de-platforming shows the exceptional power of cloud providers
A couple things: 1) Shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater isn’t protected speech, so why should explicit calls to violence be? 2) The government hasn’t silenced anyone. The 1st amendment doesn’t oblige anyone else to broadcast hate speech or plots to subvert a democratic election process.

They also had guns, but I notice you glossed right over that.

Also what do you think the guy brought zip ties for? There had never been an airplane hijacked by some guy with a box cutter until it actually happened.

Does the rate limit only apply to non-Democrats?

I don’t think they were trying to take over the government themselves, but they clearly wanted to disrupt and interfere with the election process and keep their regime in power, despite losing the election.

Just because they failed doesn’t mean they didn’t try to do so.
babygoat··on Facebook Incubated the Insurrection
Are you being facetious, or are you really saying the definition of a riot or insurrection change according to your preferences?

No.

You can’t find out how far back you can lean in your chair without tipping over until you’ve tipped over.
babygoat··on Ask HN: Starting from 0 which language would you learn to be employable fastest?
No need to get so defensive. A scripting language is a language, which is what the OP asked for.
babygoat··on Ask HN: How does one become a better Software Engineer?
What is the causal effect?
babygoat··on I recently turned 33. What's your best advice for a 33 yr old?
Or you could just keep your racist/sexist/homophobic thoughts to yourself and not worry about it. It’s not that hard.

I meant the embarrassment of losing the election and being a sore loser about it.

Why would you run the country like a corporation? The goals are not remotely similar.

After this embarrassing episode, I don’t see how he could show his face again.

It seems like the right has become increasingly interested in white supremacy.

Who’s “everyone”?
