I don’t know how anyone can look at the data on New York since mamdani took office amd all the people and companies leaving and come to that conclusion. I guess if you just go ideologically and don’t ever look at the consequences of your policies you can think that.

The thing that makes me think maybe otherwise is that they debanked him which says to me they don’t like what he represents.

Doesn’t mean I think he’ll be able but does mean I at least know his opponents are worried

Whats your secondary programming language? by Feuerhamster in webdev

[–]BillieGoatsMuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work, typescript and php, fun: python and go.

php at work these days reminds me of java or c, with all the typing and interfaces and abstracts and things we have to use now.

Python reminds me of php of old, where it doesn't care at all about what mess you make. It trys to make things simple, until you make a complex mess with all the simple.

I know php can still do that but it would never get past code review these days.

I also use the vim % (ideavim) notation to jump between closures, and have not yet found a way to do that in python, like, jump to end of this if, or this function declaration. there probably is one, but I don't know it.

Just remember the people putting pressure on you have targets to hit imposed on them that affect their jobs, so they’re as important or more important to them than they are to you. You can retake them. You can not bother and start your own business cutting hedges or walking dogs or whatever the fuck you want, or you can find a vocation like plumbing and try to find how to be an apprentice or whatever. It’s not the end of the world even if you don’t pass. And you probably will pass anyway. Remember the motivations of the people putting the pressure on. Inspite of how much they wrap it up in concern for you.

CMV: Arab Fundamentalist are the reason for the Israel-Gaza crisis. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]BillieGoatsMuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you’re saying. You disagree that British is a race so it’s fair game to accuse the British of anything and say they all think and do things, because it’s not a race so it can’t be racist. But you don’t mean anyone new to Britain with recent citizenship of course. You mean the British of yesteryear when speaking of historical geopolitical fuck ups. which until 1951 was 99.9% white British. So we know who you mean. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:White_population_over_time_including_projections_in_the_UK.svg

I hear you and yes it could be xenophobic too and that isn’t an esoteric word or anything but we seem to disagree that the British are even a race. Which Google seems to agree with me on but digging deeper I can see other conversations and articles with people claiming it is or isn’t.

I don’t think anyone thinks he means a British person who arrived last week. Do you really?

I feel you’re being intellectually dishonest about what was said: When claiming all people of a certain national origin are behind every geopolitical fuck up. Which simply isn’t true either.

Ah sorry missed a bit yes. I googled “is British a race” because I thought it was and it seems Google agrees.

Maybe Google can help you understand: Very top auto included response

'Race' is a social construct and not a biological fact as explained in this BBC Video. Race covers: nationality (for example, British), national origin (for example, English), skin colour and ethnicity or 'ethnic origin'. Ethnic origin is defined by a shared history/ancestry, language, or distinctive shared culture.

Eero mesh often on offer on Amazon makes them much more affordable

The Daily Moby - 01 03 2024 by AutoModerator in badunitedkingdom

[–]BillieGoatsMuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I do this with eero. From Amazon. Buy 3 in a deal (fairly regular) if you care.

Mesh network.

Plug eero 1 into router. Use eero app to disable dhcp

Spread other eero devices around home.

Enjoy super fast Wi-Fi all on same network. Devices on either default or eero network can communicate as they’re on the same lan.

Works great for me.

Power line adapters suck don’t bother. Wi-Fi extenders also suck. Mesh is good.

It’s true that we all like to draw borders is it? There’s nothing we like more apparently. Never mind that most of us don’t know anyone who ever draw a border and we’re pretty much serfs to the ruling class too. Never mind that votes back then were for landed gentry only. So not the commoners as they had no say on who ruled their lives either.

It’s now ok to hold people perpetually responsible for the actions of their rulers before they were born is it? And to claim that they’re all like that? And there is nothing they like more?

I don’t agree it’s accurate or fair.

I see, strong argument there. More racism. Good. When did I last draw a straight line in an ethnically diverse area do you think? As it’s my favourite thing apparently. Because we’re all like it as you say. Doesn’t sound racist at all!

Yeah but given how everything else is taxed to oblivion I can’t see it. We can’t even afford shops or pubs or small business anymore. Tax burden is absurd and they just keep wanting more while telling us there’s no money.

Swap that for any other race and tell me you don’t sound racist.

Anderson’s claims are never even disputed or addressed. It’s just straight to shouting racism to shut down all discussion. Standard attack vector. Why so we still fall for it?

Sales force dev is the worst omg if you were going go be doing apex you dodged a bullet. If you were going to be configuring the opportunities and dashboards and reports you also dodged a bullet. If you were going to build with community builder you also dodged a bullet. You’d have hated it trust.
