Dammit, don’t you dare tell me to do something I’m already doing.

Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.

Uplemmingers? It’s called VALIDATION

Oh. Great. 5 vowels in a row. The language needed that.

You mean FLOTUS?

It’s not monthly. They bill per blink. A la carte blinkers are so hot right now.

A+ shitpost

Know how many times you’ll find yourself out and about and suddenly needing to perform an emergency, involuntary vasectomy and then discover you left your tin snips and turpentine at home?

Only once. You only make that mistake once. Keep it in your daily carry.

I suspect the real solution is somewhere between that and corporate land acknowledgements.

A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.

Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.

Last week, a vendor sold an item for $10. With tax, that item costs $12. Let’s pretend a 50% markup (which is reasonable for retail but insanely high for groceries):

• they made $5 profit
• they recouped $5 for their costs
• they collected $2 of tax for the government

Now the government has a GST holiday and there’s no tax. I went to the store and bought the item and it still cost me $12.

• they made $7 profit
• they recouped their usual $5 for their costs
• they collected $0 of tax for the government

The main thing is that their costs for that item didn’t increase and they’re still selling it at its original ”final” price (because they added the tax amount to the sticker price). That tax savings went straight into profits. It was intended for the consumer to save money but the consumer is spending the same amount and the government isn’t getting anything. That money went somewhere.

Edit: that assumes that the claim made in the post is true. It’s definitely not going to be true across the board, but doubtless there’s some fuckery afoot in some stores.

Explain your math. It’s absolutely 100% benefit to the seller and 0 benefit to the buyer.

If the part of an iceberg that’s exposed to the air is hacked away, the rest of the mass will float up and a new section will be clearly visible.

This process can continue until there’s no ice left at all.

I’m only talking about ice, of course.

“PRs are always welcome”

Pretty much. It’s a tired analogy, but the “unawakened” people in The Matrix come to mind. They’re not helping the cause, but it’s not right to declare that they’re evil or deserve hate like OP was suggesting.

They don’t know any better but that doesn’t mean they deserve ire. They’re reasonably reacting based on the information they have.

The difference between a wanted murderer and an unsung hero depends a lot on how much, and which, media a person consumes.

I like to assume the average person is apolitical and pays only a passing glance at headlines.

“You use Arch, now, btw”

Really? I backed it what feels like over 10 years ago and still don’t have a finished game.

Chris Roberts is the Elon Musk of game dev.

“No, no, dig up, stupid!”

I’ll talk all kinds of shit about that movie, but I’ve watched it end to end more times than most movies I’ve seen, and it’s never been a hate watch.
