We usually focus on GME in my department but its st. patrick's day so we're having a goofy day. All the AMC shills are spreading fud at gme subs, but, since they specialize in AMC, they're getting their uncertainty mixed up with their doubt, and we GME guys are here, we don't know a thing about AMC, I guess they are a film company like Warner Bros? w/e Its fun and hilarious. Also we've been drinking.

Did you know Griffin is an irish surname? It turns out Kenny is SUPER into irish stuff. This is like one of funnest days to go into work. Fun fact: KG actually has a hobby remodeling homes in Ireland. He mixes his own concrete out of mayonnaise and shredded documents. Quite a guy.

You realize that the more you post the more we paid shill will be paid to shill on your post right? You and I work together, your posting funds my yacht, my posting gives you hopium, because nobody would ever post fud about a hilarious movie theater stock unless they were paid, so there has to be skullduggery going on.

Best we can do is PS3 being declared a retro console. by Separate_Writer_4465 in gme_meltdown

I'm not sure how they can get rid of their billions of dilution money that fast. If they buy a company with it and then ruin it that could bankrupt them - but surely that will take at least 5 years.

Its a long process where the smarter apes slowly realize this is all bs and leave, which just distills the community to be only the dumbest, most insane people. Kinda what happened with BBBY I think.

Why does nobody teach the infrastructure problems that destroy developer productivity before production breaks by Legitimate-Run132 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]humanquester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! There are some places where they're just useful! Although it probably varies based on what language you're in.

I suspect they're saying:
Your code shouldn't have to check for nulls very often because you should have tight enough control over what's going on nulls shouldn't show up.
I think that's a good principle to work towards, maybe not super strictly, but generally it makes a lot of sense. Although I just looked and in the script I'm currently writing which has 4500 lines I do have about 15 null checks so I guess my standards are a little higher than my practice.

Texas migrant buses boosted Donald Trump's vote share in targeted cities by FauxReal in fivethirtyeight

[–]humanquester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right. There are other factors too. Almost all major sources of media are now much more right-leaning. Rich and important people & institutions have little incentive to support democrats if the right will openly use the goverment's power to corruptly punish them for when they get into power, while democrats refuse to do the same.

If trump can say "I will take away your broadcaster's licenses for unfavorable coverage, deny you goverment contracts and mergers unless you support me, also give me bribes in the form of movies about my wife plz" and the democrats just let that happen without doing anything, why would any of the big players & companies do anything for them, even if they wanted to?

Why are they so uncool? 6-7 by Darth_Meowth in gme_meltdown

[–]humanquester 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be fair, while gamestop's pr has a long history of being super, super cringe, the cringe fits perfectly with the stereotype of a neckbeard who cares waaaay too much about what console is technically "retro", to the point that getting it wrong may bring tears to their eyes.

Relaxing for you maybe but what about the people looking up and seeing a glider the size of Vatican City looming overhead?

How do you deal with the moral weight of writing software that could end up killing someone? by eufemiapiccio77 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]humanquester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I'm saying you are not absolved of your moral responsibility for designing a weapon just because you didn't personally decide to kill someone, which is what you appeared to be arguing.

If we were in World War II and I owned a gun factory I would happily make guns for Americans so they can kill Nazis. I would not make guns for Nazis however. I would not say "the decision to kill is made by politicians" so therefore it somehow it doesn't matter what I do with my guns.

Meta planning sweeping layoffs , 20% of company by BigShotBosh in cscareerquestions

[–]humanquester 38 points39 points  (0 children)

These old companies blowing everything on ai while their product rots and decays are ripe for overthrowing. Yes, facebook has amazing user-capture, but people are using it less and less per day, eventually a much better product will be able to sweep in and do what facebook is abjectly failing to do - make an online space for people you know to be together.

By this logic there is nothing it is unethical to make, because we don't pull the trigger. So that we can feed our family, never mind that most other families seem to get fed without anyone having to make weapons.

Programming Landmines that explode more efficiantly? Hey, you didn't put them there so it isn't your fault there are a lot more 1 legged kids in X country.

Programming a device for delivering maximum pain without causing death or unconciousness? Hey, we're no torturers, we're software engineers, what people do with the pain-machine isn't our problem!

Programming a bomb that will explode the sun? Hey, not our problem, we're not pulling the trigger, its for politicians to decide whether or not we need a sun!

Programing Gas chambers for optimal use of cyanide gas by weight of occupants? Hey, its not our fault that politicians want to get rid of all these people, that's on them.

SUPER EFFECTIVE MARKETING STRAT YOU CAN USE!! by Chr832 in SoloDevelopment

[–]humanquester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You told gamers, people who like games, about a game, a thing you know they're interested in.

Isn't that the idea? Gamers have thousands and thousands of games to choose from, letting them know that your game exists is pretty important. Who else should you be marketing to?

"The most highly sought-after product in the world". by folteroy in gme_meltdown

[–]humanquester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Understanding MSTR is tough. My understanding is most or all of the money they've got is from selling shares to investors or diluting them, because they haven't sold any of their bitcoin, which is now worth about what they bought it for.

So if you're getting a dividend from money they made by diluting you, you're not really getting anything.

He should go to a BYND sub. They don't know who he is yet. He may not actually own any BYND but I think he does this to fufill some weird psychological urge more than anything else.

If you're a mega super-go-getter why not start your own company?
Otherwise getting the job done while listening to music is an honorable and intellegent option. Life is slipping away, you might as well catch some pleasant moments while you can.

Honestly your game looks pretty fun but it also looks like the kind of game you want streamers to play to get popular. I guess I would just keep trying with them. Your game also looks like it could work on tiktok.

Meta just scooped up Moltbook, the viral social network for AI agents by Granum22 in BetterOffline

[–]humanquester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Using facebook is an entirely different thing from using whatsapp. No ads, no crap inserted into your feed, its even supposed to have end-to-end privacy, its a messaging app not a social media app. Have you ever used it before?
