It is fine if it is something you wrote for a hobby project on your own time. In fact, it is BETTER if it is hobby code, since that indicates passion and a love of coding.
Listen to Bill. A good employer (one you'd actually want to work for) will look deeper than a front end. They will understand that good programmers often get buried on horrible teams or departments. Explain the situation and explain your code. Show off your understanding and the depth of your commitment to the craft.
As much as the left has demonized the right, the right has demonized the left as well. Both sides are fully guilty of playing this game of making the other side looks absolutely insane
While I appreciate your desire to be even-handed, I don't think you can really claim a moral equivalence between a group that supported Donald Trump and one that did not.
Let's get down to brass tacks: How do I stop the bitminer? Can't I just close the web page? Or do I need to close the whole browser? Does the miner start up again when I relaunch my browser?
Once the bitminer starts, the only way to stop it is to remove the CPU (brains) from the motherboard, carefully remove the thermal paste, and soak it in a solution of one part vinegar and one part Listerine (the generic Listerine also works). Leave it overnight and by morning, you should be good to go. To be safe, I'd wipe down all the internal parts with the solution, too. And, it'll leave your PC minty fresh!
Maybe it could help put the brakes on the recent suicide epidemic
I sure hope so. It's a damn shame that research with entheogens was limited (or outright banned) for all these decades. A lot of people might have been helped.
It's not at all clear to me why this non-falsifiable
Of course it's falsifiable, but you have to prove the evidence presented is not true.
That's how evidence works: The prosecution (or scientist) presents the evidence, and it is proven up by a court (or peers). The defense can try to cast doubt on that evidence (falsification) or on witnesses. A prosecution (in this case a political prosecution) is not a hypothesis.
We're past hypothesis now. Hypotheses can be falsifiable (or not). We're now at the proving up stage. There is hard evidence that Russia endeavored to influence the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. We have hard evidence of meetings between Trump campaign officials and agents of the Russian government where a deal to exchange the lifting of sanctions for campaign help. And this is only one small part of the entire Russian effort to illegally influence the election.
This is not fake news. There are emails from Trump officials about the meetings and testimony from Russian officials about the intent. There are receipts. If there's some part of that you believe is false, you are free to falsify.
It's so sad to see smart people dissolve into "blame the foreigners", the oldest trick in the book.
Buddy, Trump's entire campaign was based on "blame the foreigners". Now all of a sudden you don't like that approach? Have you changed your mind because the Russians are white people? Because the same white nationalist sentiment that keeps Putin in power is what got Trump elected?
What's wrong with young adult literature? I'm currently re-reading Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy and it's excellent.
It certainly is excellent. It's also much better writing than Orwell ever did.
But Orwell was mentioned in the context of influence, and another of his books double plus qualifies.
I just said Orwell was overrated. Not that he wasn't influential. As I said, his ideas are profound, but as a writer he's mediocre. He's more agitprop than literature. That's why he's taught in high school: because it's hard to teach subtlety to 14 year-olds.
Immediately after finishing it. My high school freshman English teacher was thoughtful and showed us the music in the language, the subtle meanings. He was an interesting guy. I later learned that he quit teaching and became a stand-up comic. Best teacher I ever had.
This was when teachers could still smoke in the classroom (to give you an idea how old I am). He was sort of hippie-ish and would come to class, bushy black hair and beard, dark glasses, smoking like a chimney, and brought literature to life. I later identified his cologne as "Eau de Weed". I'm pretty sure my PhD in Literature and career as a professor were entirely his fault.
Imagine having Tolstoy shoved down throat at age 14.
There is a world of literature that would be appropriate for 14 year-olds before Tolstoy. I remember having to read Shakespeare in freshman high school English and hating it before I loved it. I spent most of my working life teaching literature to college students (often undergraduates). You don't have to "shove" anything down anyone's "throat", but something as simple as a course requirement can turn out to be liberating for the student. I still get kids (now middle-aged) who write me on Facebook and thank me for exposing them to literature that they first found daunting.
I have read Tolstoy
Nobody wakes up one day and decides, "I'm going to read Tolstoy".
Don't be silly, this is a stupid decision and it's completely fair to criticize the FCC for this idiocy.
I agree completely. I'm just saying Republicans won't be lining up to criticize it. Can you name ten Republican members of congress who have criticized this decision?
You're bringing anecdotes to a data fight? You of all people should know better. The discussion was not about your "personal experience". It was about the average temperature in San Francisco. And we have that data right here:
You know, you've come to the right place. Until moving to the California Central Coast five weeks ago, I lived in Houston, Texas. They do not call 76 room temperature there. Air conditioning in homes and offices is almost always set between 68 and 72. And yes, that's my "personal experience". People bring sweaters to work with them in Houston. Windows in new homes do not open.
Good job on googling "facts" though, thanks for the laugh.
Are you suggesting that usclimatedata has somehow been doctored just to make you look foolish? Why the scare quotes around "facts"? Do you believe it's fake news?
If more people could move to SF, and other locations with pleasant climates, carbon emissions could fall significantly.
So go to fucking Texas. We don't want you in California. I've only been a resident of the State of California for five weeks, and already I don't want anyone else coming here.
SF rejects more than 95% of application for residential building permits, and few people even bother to apply.
You can get a permit right now in Houston and build whatever kind of monstrosity you want.
Just to clarify, while SF is pretty densely populated, it's barely 800,000 people, and average outside temperature is just 7 degrees below room temperature.
The average outside temperature in San Francisco is 57 degrees F. Do you really keep the rooms in your home at 64? I'll bet you don't.
Most often you need to open a window to keep your apartment or office building at room temperature.
"Room temperature" is actually a term defined by law as 68 degrees, three feet from the floor. Since the average temperature is 57 degrees, I'm guessing that "most often" you do not need to open a window to maintain room temperature unless you're living (or working) in a glass house.

Going back as recently as the Crimea invasion and the dispatching of navy ships off the coast of Syria, none if those things triggered as much backlash and grandstanding as email hacking and Facebook ads have now.
It's pretty straightforward. Attacking other countries is not as series as an attack on the US homeland (via the electoral system).
And specifically, Romney said that Russia was the "greatest geopolitical threat" to the US. That's what was ridiculed. There's a lot of ground between "greatest geopolitical threat" and "ally".
Led by Chairman Ajit Pai, the FCC's Republican majority voted in April of this year to eliminate price caps in a county if 50 percent of potential customers "are within a half mile of a location served by a competitive provider."
Oh that seems fair. Not "served by a competitive provider" but rather, "within a half mile of a location served by a competitive provider".
Which party is doing this shit again?
Led by Chairman Ajit Pai, the FCC's Republican majority voted in April
Oh, right.
But after Republicans gained the FCC majority in 2017, "the commission illegally reversed course without proper notice and further deregulated the BDS market, leaving consumers at risk of paying up to $20 billion a year in excess charges from monopolistic pricing," Berenbroick said.

You mean, "Prepare to die"? That escalated fast.

I overclock mine. It's not very big or powerful, but it gives off a lot of heat.
Looking "weak" is something that scares you, isn't it?
That's another reason dezinformatsiya is so effective.
I sure hope so. It's a damn shame that research with entheogens was limited (or outright banned) for all these decades. A lot of people might have been helped.
First time I tried to do magic mushrooms, the only thing that got rebooted were the magic mushrooms.
It took a few tries, but I finally got them to work. God, I was so young then.
I did not label him as such. You made an inference. Read my post again.
Your misapplication of logic and willingness to jump to a conclusion to satisfy your bias are part of the reason dezinformatsiya works so well.

That Russia worked to influence the 2016 election is not in doubt any more.

The receipts have been found and displayed for all to see. Don't be so invested in Orange Julius that you refuse to see what's in front of your face.

God willing. It would be a fitting end for both.

That's my point. Animal Farm is young adult literature. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't rate the pantheon.
But none would dare cross the *air quotes* President.
