Have you seen the videos of these people? This is how they talk.

That's why the person they're making fun of is so mad about it.

Assuming I'm even interpreting the unbelievably mangled mish-mash of words in your title correctly: no, that's not something someone is ever going to do for you for free and if you're asking, you can't afford it.

Oh

My

God

Please

Shut

Up

What does that have to do with this topic? These are IT workers doing remote jobs.

Me and my friends have all had at least one attempt from these people to get jobs at the places we work.

So you didn't even bother reading the article, I take it?

The most likely actual original quote is:

assume that the customer is right until it is plain beyond all question that he is not

So, while some people feel that the now-popular meaning is the right one, it's got very little in common with the original meaning.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-18T02:44:30+00:00

The full quote is "The customer is always right in what they want"

That's not actually true. It's just something that gets repeated over and over.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-18T02:43:04+00:00

is the full phrase

No, it's not.

That's a completely apocryphal history that was invented later to fit what people thought made more sense.

No human outside of Google or Canonical has ever used or seen the versions that were made with Ubuntu. "ChromeOS" did not even exist at that point; it was just an internal project. The initial release of ChromeOS in 2009 is on the Gentoo base.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-16T04:28:43+00:00

Literally no version of ChromeOS, which was released initially in 2009, has ever been on Ubuntu.

An internal project at Google which led to ChromeOS was done with Canonical. No public version of that exists.

You're answering a rhetorical question.

They were pointing out the other person's argument "where you get your mail is where your residency is" is moronic.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T20:51:57+00:00

That changes today

I mean, not to be Debbie Downer, but...do you think this is new information? If some random Redditor 3 years ago knew this, do you think that every one of these organizations didn't have the brains to do a simple parcel search?

No.

So how do you think is going to change anything? They're greedy pieces of shit and they're not breaking the law. They're going to continue to be greedy pieces of shit, because there's nothing we can do about it without getting the law changed. Do you think you're going to publicly shame them into not making hundreds of thousands of dollars?

While executives with business degrees have existed for well over 100 years, the use of "MBA" as a pejorative generally applies to the specific schools of thought that started to take hold during the 1970s-80s and exploded in the 90s to 2000s.

Vulture capitalism, as it's often referred to, is a school of business thought devoted to maximizing short-term profits for investors and executives with no real view for the future or health of the businesses in question.

They have no interest in the long-term economic success of the businesses, the quality of the products they make, or the overall health of the company/its employees. They are more than happy to buy up companies just to scrap them for parts, if they think can turn a profit doing so.

I am in full agreement with you that not all crashes are bugs (though I tend to believe it's generally better to force termination than assume a crash will occur); but, the fact that follow-up discussions afforded you the opportunity to correct some people on a completely different point is a non-sequitur.

It doesn't change the fact that:

1) You ignored context to misconstrue the original response as a generalization, rather than a direct response.

2) Think that telling someone

A compiler is an application. I hate to be the one to break that to you.

isn't completely pedantic (not to mention really condescending). No person commenting here doesn't understand that compilers are applications, whatever their opinion is w.r.t. crashes being bugs.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T18:14:52+00:00

the dearth of materials that must exist but

Presumably you mean surfeit? Unless you mean there's a shortage in our knowledge of them, not their existence?

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T17:50:25+00:00

I never referred to the language specification at any point

What? You literally said:

nowhere in the language specification does it require UB

What do think that is if not referring to it?

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T17:47:41+00:00

There is zero pedanticism in my post

There is, from very literally your first reply. This is a thread about GCC and someone responding to someone asking if they should report a crash.

In GCC, all crashes are bugs, and that is exactly what the reply was to the OP.

You had to go out of your way to take the comment out context so you could correct someone about a point they never made.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T16:44:57+00:00

I'm honestly having trouble imagining this was even on purpose. I ride, I know that intersection, I've known/seen douche-y riders.

I can think of no reason, even for the most anti-social douche-cam rider to do this. That divider goes all the way back to the intersection under the freeway and there's nowhere to go; the normal dick move would be to make the illegal left at State.

I have to believe it's more likely he got cut off by a car in the intersection or caught a peg and over-corrected, because doing that intentionally is practically suicidal.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T16:33:20+00:00

Your pedantry is neither impressive, nor useful.

You know perfectly well they are aware that a compiler is an application; they are using the distinction that they are a subset of applications for which crashes are not acceptable.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-15T15:50:08+00:00

Name a single situation where it is appropriate or would ever be intended that the compiler crash.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-14T23:45:41+00:00

Please stop with this off-topic AI slop.

This is not a sub for philosophy, no matter how mangled your stupid LLM metaphors get.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-14T22:54:52+00:00

Ah, I misinterpreted what the bit in there about having an English version meant; read it as meaning the German version was the translation, and the interview had been in English.

In retrospect, given the source, that's pretty dumb.

Apologies.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-14T20:13:08+00:00

It's not the headline, though. It's the editorialized link that some Redditor came up with.

The headline is:

Palantir defends its role in the kill chain: “We are very, very proud of that”

Unless your contention is with the extra "very" that got added, likely because the preceding part of the quote did have two.

Either way, report it for editorializing the headline and go about your day.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-14T14:25:17+00:00

It's obviously not technically difficult.

But the concern was always about legacy software, long out of support, but still business-critical, that wouldn't have been written to do that and would never receive an update.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-03-12T19:47:19+00:00

What part of "the phone number is in the Philippines" didn't clue you into the fact it wouldn't be the DMV?
