iikoolpp··on Auto-Antonyms
Words have meanings, and the meaning of literally is also emphasis. Bad prescriptivism.
iikoolpp··on Hong Kong protest safety app banned from iOS store
Yes, absolutely. Something being legal doesn't make it good.
iikoolpp··on United Kingdom Budget Visualization
This is the same kind of shit as the faux neutrality news reporters are held to on scientific topics. But, suddenly, because it's political we should then listen to their shit viewpoints?
iikoolpp··on United Kingdom Budget Visualization
It's literally a pie chart and a table.
iikoolpp··on I used to fear being a nobody, then I left social media
> Here... it's a relatively polite reply explaining why I'm wrong

I've never found this. It's generally a three hundred word roundabout way of saying "You're an idiot" to fit in the faux civility guidelines.

iikoolpp··on Why don’t we have good code editors?
> The most limiting factor for my choice of code editors is that I need modal editing. After learning how to use Emacs, and then Vim, I can not imagine going back to the typical non-modal text editing. These editors make it much more comfortable to edit text (and code), and ruined every other way of editing for me.

Truly, v*m rots the brain.

Really, who expected anything else?

iikoolpp··on Employers Used Facebook to Keep Women and Older Workers from Seeing Job Ads
It doesn't; it's just an irrelevant scapegoat.
iikoolpp··on New research suggests that we’re making ourselves sick over politics
> To see the problem, let me use your exact words, but simply change the issue to one you presumably disagree with:

Wow, when you change a sentence from something that is happening to something that isn't happening, the meaning changes! What an amazing rhetorical device that is.

> Considering that they, like you, think they're right, you can at least grant other human beings the same dignity you wish to receive.

I find it ironic to see this kind of shit peddled on Hacker News, containing the hive mind that will eat up anyone who disagrees on certain topics (such as anti-vax).

iikoolpp··on Twitter launches its ‘Hide Replies’ feature in the US and Japan
> - For every bad person that's had their terrible opinions aired in public there's a right wing talk-show host that users RTs to ruin the lives some small time LGBT podcaster or youtuber with their fanbase.

I agree with using it for the first, but disagree with using it for the second, and as such those people should be banned! A rather simple solution.

I've had it be persistent ever since it was introduced.

For 1 and 2, simply set your timeline to "latest tweets".

For 3, sometimes people simply need to be made fun of. The QRT is a great way of achieving this.

iikoolpp··on V8 adds support for top-level await
Impossible due to how async is implemented (as generators).
iikoolpp··on WeWork, Bankers Have Discussed Laying Off One-Third of Workforce
> There is something extremely wrong with the rate of innovation, productivity growth, the division of labor and capital, and the distribution of profits between labor and capital in developed countries today, and it's unsustainable.

It's almost as tens of companies doing the same work in parallel for the sole purposes of increasing their number ticker isn't very efficient.

iikoolpp··on Supreme Court: Suspending Parliament was unlawful, judges rule
Tory + DUP does not make a majority - it is still far off.

And yes, I believe the independents will vote against the government every time until the extension is got and then they will VONC/FTPA into an election.

iikoolpp··on Supreme Court: Suspending Parliament was unlawful, judges rule
> Yes, and he has a majority in Parliament...that is why he is the PM.

He doesn't hold a majority.

> And the big plan that the opposition has is: to go to the EU, negotiate the same exact deal that has been voted down 4 times, and then whip their MPs to vote it down again.

No it isn't. The plan of the opposition is to get an extension, and hold a general election as a proxy for what should happen: Tory party for no deal fuck you up the arse brexit, Lib Dems for revoke it and put out the fire, Labour for a 2nd referendum with clear options that involves significantly less self-mutilation than an empty "leave" deal.

iikoolpp··on Hacking the Brain
This is the funniest post I've ever read on this website

Either it's entirely the placebo effect, or it somehow actually does something and you're cooking your brain to wage slave even harder

I specifically bought only NVIDIA GPUs because they were faster under Linux when I got them.

I don't want to be old.
iikoolpp··on Increased sedentary behaviour alters metabolism and body composition (2018)
On one hand, my body is probably fucked from laying in bed for 18 hours a day, every single day, a year.

On the other hand, moving about is exhausting and hurts so why would I want to do it? I fully plan on killing myself before 30 so it's not like I'll see the knock-on effects.

iikoolpp··on Reddit was down for over two hours
> Young people now think it’s ok to send out a message and respond whenever they feel like it.

Boomers demand attention constantly.

Definitely this.

ASGI is disgusting. It's WSGI (not very good in the first place) with asyncio tacked on (even worse!).
