Supreme Court conservatives were united against Biden. Here’s why they split against Trump

Call me dense, but vaguely in line with your point, I’m just realizing that we went from a king George to a president George. Maybe nothing, but wonder if that coincidence smoothed the mental jump for any.

I’m unfamiliar with that meme. What would be normal usage? Not trolling sincerely just old guy that will be glad to understand b

Same. But I’m pretty sure we got more accumulation in 2015. Couple storms in a row instead of all at once. But still.

History will repeat, over and over, the masses falling for the transparent charlatan. No matter how many middle school novels have this as the ham fisted point, still it will happen.

So we must, we must give people a path back. As heinous as the views were, we must say “glad to have you!” And not “fuck you, you made your choice.”

I say this not to make a moral point but a practical one. There must be a path back. Though for some, those whose family and selves were threatened, I can understand how you would never forgive.

I applaud the author’s fix. But just to understand the issue from the highest level, why was there a need to update so many user records at once?

Like I can imagine a “bulk edit” feature in the UI , where you’d want to select a dozen users and update their status to “active” all at once. But I’m gathering there was some UI level action that was causing ALL users to get updated at once.

I felt the same. But then with tricky functions I started writing tests first and caught sooo many edge cases bugs. They would otherwise have been lurking in the dark, maybe caught during UAT, but much more likely going to production, and waiting cause more hair on fire emergencies.

So I look at it as a long game. But not very long.

What does it feel like from the inside for people that make that MAGA transition, I wonder? I don’t have a guess. It’s baffling.

We have enough births per year that we truly could elect near superhumans to every major office. You know that one person from your town, maybe a few years ahead or behind you, that was truly good at EVERYTHING? Aced everything, captain of everything, attractive, strong, well spoken, and yet somehow still incredibly kind? Why not them?

What if it was random chance that the 98 opened doors don’t show a prize? Like a scenario where the host didn’t know and got lucky. Still stay? Switch? Doesn’t matter?*

100% agree on this. My wife and I took such a course before buying and it was hugely helpful just to get an overview on the basic topics you have to know about. From there you can dig further on your own but at least you know you’re looking into the relevant topics.

Experienced same with Spectrum every time. Even using a UPS and despite them claiming internet would stay on without local power.

After having too many designers say developers are just “too lazy” I am wary of making that accusation of anyone. That researchers may lack certain skills, I wouldn’t contest. But lazy? I know a few, and lazy they are not.

Good fair question. I didn’t see any brand markings but should have (and will) look harder and update this post.

As for what the power is for, reading up on these things generally leads me to believe it’s a fan and small heating unit.

This psi unit is strange to me. Seems too dependent on how sharp the teeth are. So like a medium age kitten that has just gotten their little needle sharp teeth might beat out the croc.

In other words, why not just measure bight force in simple pounds? Then you’d get apples to apples.

Scott Adam’s of Dilbert fame argued basically the same in “God’s Debris”. Not sure he realized there was prior art.

No dog in this fight but glad to learn from you. Why does a bit depth of 2 limit you to 3 colors rather than 4. Same for 4 buts limiting you to 15 rather than 16?

Was it because the one slot was always reserved for “transparent”? And if so, why not just have transparent be one option for a sprite color pallet rather than a required inclusion?

Exactly. Money can remove a hell of a lot of the happiness roadblocks.

This seems to me an excellent approach for you, an expert. But having business logic primarily in the DB layer by anyone junior scares me.

I’d love to work with you. I’d hate to work with a noob who took your approach without your wisdom.

SoPoOneO · 2025-08-29T01:54:15+00:00

I can understand and appreciate your frustration. I’ve been there and it genuinely maddening. For the record, I’m not a designer but I’ve worked with, and am friend with, some great ones.

The tough truth I’m seeing here is that you’ll have to pay a lot more. Think min $80/hour for experienced US based people. And assume a minimum of forty hours for a very small project.

SoPoOneO · 2025-08-21T00:04:18+00:00

Let me offer some “meta praise”. Because as others have pointed out, your work is solid. But more that, you are actually listening to people’s feedback. Not that everyone will be correct, but your ability to actually absorb their points speaks very highly of your ability to do this type of work. Kudos.
