weird I thought you were talking about coworkers for a second

and poverty doesn't?

Literally the third sentence says

> Their skill isn’t in programming, it’s in reducing ambiguity rapidly and advancing efforts through complexity rapidly

You should make a top-level comment if you plan on ignoring context.

Sad, I’d love to hear all about how ‘poor’ my analogy was.

That's like saying murder isn't heinously evil, because murder has existed long before you or I.

It's a bit disingenuous to defend people who ended it while simultaneously pretending it never happened.

It's like you only read the first sentence of the parent comment. The only reasonable response is to point you right back to it.

why does debt matter so much? human-created construct

When you ignore such large chunks of context, it makes conversation unfruitful

Imagine being so reductive you lost the point along the way

Didn't we already establish upthread why it matters? Why are we backtracking 5 comments deep?

You didn't grow up in America, you grew up in Sweden. I don't think any further explanation is required.

but normal people don't, hence this never being an issue

> a group of people (we can call them fanboys for the sake of argument) insists that their way of doing things is "the" way. Which it of course isn't

I missed this part in the tiny paragraph that says "I like these names"

> utterly broken

Yes, you did. It’s far too specific and confident an accusation to be anything else.

The only connection you could possibly draw to UCSB from anything in my life or profile is this username/that @whynaut person, because I’ve never stepped foot there or even considered it. Not sure what lying gets you here.

nice try? never went to UCSB.

edit: looks like you found @whynaut on github? I don’t repeat usernames, though.

> unlike your post which is full of malice

Hah! You need some serious introspection.

> it's hard to imagine someone actually thought they were making a good point.

That’s why assumed it wasn’t sarcastic. As a sarcastic comment it feels flippant and dismissive. So I thought a better perspective was that they were referencing Google’s social and messaging products.

I have no way to know but fortunately, it matters not.

I don’t think they are being sarcastic, given the context

Perhaps your bubble simply doesn’t contain enough people with sufficient communication skills to help you pick up on rhetorical questions.

Also, someone who isn’t expecting an answer doesn’t pedantically repeat their condescending question across the thread.

It was a rhetorical question, I thought that was obvious. Thanks for the useless answer.

> Why would I care about your judgment at all?

Why do you expect a stranger on the internet to prove the relative intelligence of everyone around them, to you

when I see that many letters, I just think Law and Order.

I always found Android buggier, even when I wanted to love it. Even just opening the camera could crash my phones pretty often.

not having security updates is a big deal, but apps also target minimum OS versions, and oftentimes the “minimum” is a year-old OS

This seems incredibly blind to the realities of poor people.

$30/month (for a maxed out phone; you could be looking at $12/mo) is much more palatable to a lot of people than paying the full sticker price today.

In my experience, these notes aren’t written by devs in bigger companies.

Fromsoft has unskippable tutorials in most of their games, going back to Demon’s Souls. Perhaps they were designed well enough that you didn’t notice?

There is no reasonable answer for this strange hypothetical, probably because it is not presented in good faith.

Are you using the built-in HDMI port, or a dongle? I had the same issue before switching off the dongle.
