Well. Do they? Maybe write a base class you can extend to cock, balls, breast, dildo that can work with objects mouth, asshole, and pussy.

Get to work OP. The world needs this.

Absolutely. Numbers have power too. If you happen to be around when this happens do not let the eyes of those around you turn the other way.

Everyone is waiting for someone to say something. But no one has said anything so we all think “well, I guess I don’t know the whole story because no one ELSE is doing anything”. It’s quite a well documented human group behavior.

You need to be that first voice. You need to shake everyone else out of that thought. Because you know exactly what it is. It’s scary to be that first or second person to speak up.

But another well documented human behavior is that when someone goes to help, others join in, they get shaken out of their “freeze” and decide to fight.

Our society isn’t broken enough yet for people not to care when someone is being kidnapped. They just need you to call it what it is.

Just keep calling “ICE” liars. If they try to say they are federal agents just keep saying they are lying. Do everything to delay until you have enough support to make them feel afraid. Again, they are Nazis. They are not brave. They are scared little losers. Don’t let them feel safe to get out of their black vans.

Absolutely. They should be afraid to get out of their van. They should be treated as if they are wearing a Nazi uniform.

I get what you mean. But, materially, there is not much of a difference. You should absolutely do everything in your power to stop or resist them.

They are Nazis with a badge or Nazis without a badge. That badge doesn’t change what should be done to them by anyone that sees them. They should not feel safe getting out of their van. There are more of us. Get organized and be ready to be that 2nd or 3rd or 4th random stranger that is brave enough to standup to them.

Nazi’s aren’t brave. They are wimpy little losers. That’s why they are Nazis. Don’t let them feel safe anywhere they go.

I always thought “some” was being too charitable.

I think you’re wrong. But not because you’re illogical. On the contrary I think you’re thinking rationally if you assume businesses are running to make better products. If you do. You’re right.

These companies are not running to make better products than their competitors. They are running to monopolize their industry to a degree that gives them enough power to sell absolute garbage.

Look no further than the gaming industry. This is the exact type of garbage we are seeing from other industries now.

They are not interested in making better products. They are interested in making profits. And if the entire market is held together by 2-3 major players all replacing workers with AI slop they will have no reason to change. They will all do it together.

No amount of “indie” projects will ever threaten their market domination.

This is then future that will happen. Don’t expect “markets” to save us from this. The myth of “free markets” is how we got here in the first place.

This. I hate it. It feels like a modern day factory worker job.

When I first graduated I was all caring about design, mainability, etc.

Nope. All that shit is pointless in a large company. Took me too long to notice that Cisco was essentially just throwing as many code monkeys at the problems until things work.

“Fix” a bug in a hacky way that creates 10 more bugs that won’t be found for weeks and be another teams problem because they can’t directly point to your hacky code anyway? That engineer is getting promoted. They fix so many bugs. So many commits!

Take the time to understand the bug and do a rewrite to ensure other platforms are not effected and setup the design so it’s easier to debug in the future? Well, you spent all week on one bug you lazy engineer!

It took me too long to realize that I was the bad programmer. That this is actually what companies want and reward their employees for.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to rant. But your short comment triggered it I guess.

I fucking hate this field. I still love programming though.

I can’t live without VIM keybinds. Maybe I’m a boomer. I do use it as a note taking or “collect my thoughts” app. Or just a place to paste shit when I’m working. Very useful for that. Though only when I’m forced to be on Windows.

I’m convinced a lot of the “AI tools” in general are just the same old tool with data collection tacked onto it. I really hope some of the things I see labeled as “AI” in tech these days are not actually running some model on a GPU somewhere. I pray they aren’t at least.

If the file is just a class I usually put example usage with some default arguments in that block by itself. There is no reason for a “main” function. It’s a nice obvious block that doesn’t run when someone imports the class but if they’re looking at the class there is a really obvious place to see the class usage. No confusion about what “main()” is meant to do.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # MyClass example Usage
    my_object = MyClass()
    my_object.my_method()

This sadly excludes the majority of bad UX decisions that are done entirely to maximize users time inside of the app as well as display advertising.

So many functional apps are destroyed by these incentives. There is literally a “skill issue” but in the opposite direction. The design is either purposely malicious in a subtle way with “dark patterns” (something Amazon is insanely guilty of. Literally just go try and return and item.) or is purposely annoying trying to ensure the user purchases the “free trial” to actually make the app functional. Knowing a lot of users will be charged at least once for the free trial.

I guess my point is that there is so so so so much wrong with UX design today. But for the majority of people that’s not because of a bad programmer with no design knowledge. It’s on purpose in most cases.

Glad to hear I’m not alone. I can notice subtle things very well. But big colors and buttons I’m basically trained to ignore. I complain about app/web UI design to a massive degree too. We need more autism coated people approving these things.

Ok. So I’m not even sure if I’m autistic. ADHD for sure and I know those often go hand in hand. But this post made me think of something that I find kind of disabling. Wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Ads. Ads have ruined my brain. I have become so good at completely ignoring ads and very “eye catching” signs and graphics. My brain usually looks for useful information “in-between” those lines. It’s very helpful for filtering through bull shit.

But a side effect of this is that my brain will literally filter out important warning signs. Signs that are meant to be very very obvious so you follow them. “Do not enter” type of signs.

I find myself missing really really obvious signs like this in public and it’s often embarrassing. I finally realized it was because of how I’ve trained my brain to ignore advertising. These “obvious” things I have taught my brain are not useful information in 99% of cases since they are usually advertising.

Does anyone else have this problem?

If we had one public social media platform that would be the best way. It would force people to filter and learn how to interact with technology. But in our world people are lazy and a platform that picks the best value of X automatically for the most people will win. Even if it’s not actually how people want to see things.

Are you referring to Israel?

There is overlap on both of these things. They are using whatever methods they can to deport people. They are focusing on (1) deporting as many people as possible to have numbers to show and flex for their base come midterms and (2) to suppress all speaking out against the genocide in Gaza and labeling them as terrorists.

So. No, it’s the same act. The administration is using whatever tools they can to suppress speech and deport brown people. So there is some overlap as well as the administration just making up shit and breaking the law as quickly as they can.

It’s essentially the administrations policy to overwhelm the court systems and force them to play whackamole.

This was stripping the “Temporary Protective Status” from the Venezuelan immigrants. This essentially makes them all deportable now.

This court decision in the OP is blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act Trump was trying to use to deport anyone that spoke out against Israel.

He was actually going less orange for awhile. Which, honestly, I personally think he actually looks better orange. When you see pictures of his natural skin tone he kinda looks freaky. Maybe I’m just use to the orange man.

Is this tacked on with a bunch of other laws related to criticism of Zionism also being against the law?

Tons of laws Israel is trying to get passed in western countries to associate anti Zionism with Antisemitism.

I doubt this is the only part of the law.

Interesting. Is this a fundamental limitation of C or is it just more preferable and easier to use FORTRAN when implementing it?

Meaning could the same performance be achieved in C but most optimized libraries are already written so why bother? Or basically C can’t achieve the memory optimization at all?
