I'm tired of telling people that "irregardless" is not a word.
When people stay connected all the time to other people who are also connected all the time, they aren't connecting with some of the brightest minds in the world, they're connecting with like-minded maroons. The result is an amplifying effect where they reinforce each others poor reasoning and language skills.
The result is a bunch of poorly-socialised people who don't know how to spell "lose", use "irregardless" in every conversation and think that their opinion is more widely held than it really is.
Actually, I hate C because it's so difficult to send data between executing parallel processes and, secondarily, because it such a beast to handle unicode in.
You handle unicode internally by using one of the many many libraries to turn UCS-2, wchar_t and UTF-16 into UTF-8, and then proceed as normal.
Those same libraries usually let you turn UTF-8 back into UCS-2, wchar_t and UTF-16.
Honestly, you only have unicode problems if you're programming on Windows.
Why would I? I don't actively contribute to everything I want or need.
You need it for what exactly? Something that a quick firing up of a virtual machine would not suffice?
I think you may want it, but you really don't need it. I think you are perhaps the person stuck in the cocoon.
I write cross-platform open-source code, and having a no-license windows OS to test on beats having no OS at all. If I were writing that code for money I'd have no problem paying for a windows license, but I am giving my product away for free, hence I see no reason to spend money to give it away for free.
You're in the minority of the dev space (those that use windows exclusively). You need to break out of your little shell and see that Windows has the fewest number of installations; when you write code that goes on the most common systems you might appreciate just how small Windows slice of the world is.
It's nice to have a free way to test your code on the rare systems you make little to no money off.
In your little mind, the whole world runs Windows. In reality it's a small slice of the worlds computing devices.
I just don't see the point, I was hoping someone would explain why all the time and effort has been spent to build something that is not wanted, and not needed.
I want it, and I need it. Your mind is obviously too small to see a bigger part of the world than outside your little cocoon.
and that's why i love python, particularly for web programming.
Are you drunk? There's little to no difference between python and php that isn't purely syntactical.
generate the fields from a python list with a function, voila you have the input fields for a form. or the fields from a database query. if you want readable HTML rather than {0} in the thing, you just use python main_html_page_string.replace("", left_menu_string). it really couldn't get any easier.
Other than syntax differences, is there any reason that you can't do the same in php? Look I hate php, but all the criticisms against php are equally valid against python.
If you hate php but love python (or vice versa) you're suffering from severe cognitive dissonance.
There are very few practical differences between python and php, other than php having a larger attack surface due to all those wordpress installations.
They're both the same shitty "fail-at-runtime-only" language, with the clear majority (some 80+%) of practitioners being skilled in everything other than in building software (hence the reason both of them have such poor design decisions).
Both Amazon, Azure, and Kubernetes all have apis for configuration, deployment, and testing that are object based.
And? They're not exclusively object based you moron. You can (and I do) use ssh+ansible to automate tasks on 100s of machines from a single local desktop.
You were ignorant of the fact that automation on Linux using bash was being done for at least the past two decades using ssh, and thus the reason for your idiotic requirement of:
Explain then how to automate a few tasks on 100 Linux servers some on premise and some in the cloud without having to log into each one?
I understand your confusion - windows only got this sort of functionality recent, which is why I welcomed you to 1998.
BTW: The powershell environment still has a long way to go to get anywhere near the utility of my Linux Bash environment. I expect that as powershell gains features that already existed in Linux+Bash you'll make similar idiotic claims. You're simply unaware of what can be done in a Linux environment, so when Windows gets these features you like you boast about them not realising that Linux had them all along.
The guy playing Shazam himself I can kinda take or leave. I'd blame it on being hard to pull off the look but the guy playing Aquaman did it. That said, I'll probably stick to the animated movie that made not too long ago.
Meh. He was good enough in Chuck, playing a childish man who accidentally got some superpowers. Pretty much the same character here, except instead of accidentally getting leet spy skills he gets other super powers. They probably considered his work in Chuck when making their decision. The only other thing I've seen him in was in the Psych! movie where he did a terrible job of playing a villain.
Although, in Chuck the series didn't really get good until the second season, and then went downhill in the fourth season.
Explain then how to automate a few tasks on 100 Linux servers some on premise and some in the cloud without having to log into each one?
We've been doing this for the last 20 years. What makes you think we suddenly lost this ability?
See, this is the problem with "techies" who only know windows - they're so ignorant that they can't even recognise their ignorance. We've been automating tasks on 100's of linux servers just fine using Ansible or similar. Hell, you don't even need Ansible. If your servers already have the admin's public keys in authorized_hosts you can pretty much do anything from a script on the admin end.
Since Powershell is object based you can do more with a for each statement for 100 servers and use custom apis to work the magic without an expensive 3rd party tool. You can do a PSremote session if you want too or just use Azure RM or snmp without having to touch each server.
In the criticism she replied to there was no mention of her sexual identity (gender) or biological sex. It was a gender neutral opinion piece that did not attack her as a person at all.
And yet somehow people feel the need to politely explain---in completely gender neutral ways---the utter basics to female carer veterans far more than male career veterans.
Completely untrue. Men get the majority of feedback simply because giving "completely gender-neutral" feedback to a woman is dangerous.
to address inequality? Racism and Sexism really are things. It's not like we've eliminated them completely from human thought and we can just go on our way. Just having laws against racial and sexual discrimination is technically 'identity politics'. Sure, you can take it too far (there's lots of whack jobs on the left and the right wing media spends an unhealthy amount of time reminding us of them) but when somebody's a racist or sexist you don't stop pointing out they're racist or sexist just because a few whack jobs want to cut everybody's dicks off.
Well, we pointed out that Jessica Price was sexist. What more do you want?
At least this time it's all been well documented and understood, so that the attacks on these women seem to have ultimately failed and if anything backfired. These kinds of sloppy mistakes with mail merge apps are nothing new, but unfortunately sometimes the messages look genuine to the victim's employer.
Sloppy mistakes like tweeting about being chased from your home by misogynists only for your pics to all show you safely in your home? That's like Brianna Wu level mistakes.
Very awful, and highly disliked (you might even say the second most-disliked candidate in the history of presidential polling, after Trump himself).
Yeah, the polls hated him more than her, but the voters hated her more than him. As the election demonstrated, it was the will of the voters, not the will of the pollsters. Their estimates of who was more hated is irrelevant because we have an objective measurement of who actually was hated more.
And it's troubling that so many people in the US are trying to discredit an investigation into whether or not our democratic processes are being actively subverted.
What's troubling is that even though no actual evidence has come to light in the 18 months since the allegations were made the conspiracy theories still abound.
Actually, the number of mice is now over 30, and the mountain is a long way from done. And never forget what a single mouse can do to an elephant, especially a big, wet, orange elephant with bone spurs.
How awful does some have to be to lose to a big wet orange elephant with bone spurs?

As a literate person who can spell 'omphaloskepsis', I worry about the future when shallow comic characters are the pinnacle of entertainment.
They probably said the same thing about stuff considered "classics" today. Shakespear, for example, was the Justin Bieber of his time.
I'd watch that! Futurama was the most insightful show on TV (and the only one to make a time-travel mechanism I find believable).
The guy playing Shazam himself I can kinda take or leave. I'd blame it on being hard to pull off the look but the guy playing Aquaman did it. That said, I'll probably stick to the animated movie that made not too long ago.

Hello Mr Windows Admin. Welcome to to the 90s.
Seriously?
When did "European" become a race?
Just after "muslim" became a race. The slippery slope in action.
...start ups have aspirations to be as big as Google one day and don't want the precedents set that would prevent them from obtaining their goal.
Temporarily embarrassed millionaires...

Employers need to stop bending over and letting the mob fuck them in the ass
Maybe we should tell James Damore that?
This claim is untrue.
Her own pictures show that she never left her house when she said she did.

Give it time, it's still early days. Watergate took 4 years, Iran Contra took over six.
And proving that 9/11 was an inside job is taking 17 years. What was your point?
