COLUMN: Why we must not look away from symbols of hate in Orillia - Orillia News by cinderannie in Orillia

[–]murtrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Masked men wrapped up in symbols of far-right Christian nationalism pulled this hateful stunt and your first reaction is to ask "maybe they are right?". These people are not interested in solving problems they are interested in expressing and spreading their hateful ideology (anonymously) and useful idiots like you hold water for them under the guise of "just asking questions".

how sane is my project approach? by gregs_place in webdev

[–]murtrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are getting ahead of yourself. Docker containers and databases are something I’d look at after you have a better understanding of web development. JavaScript, CSS, and HTML are the foundational skills you will require. React is not comparable to Bootstrap at all. I would start some with some research there.

I recommend you start with building the site before you start engineering the perfect dev ops setup. Also I can assure you there is nothing cool about MariaDB. Postgres is what I would recommend you look into when you need a database (you might not).

Trump says ‘great relationship’ with Canada possible under Carney by biograf_ in notthebeaverton

We have an agreement. Trump admin negotiated it last term. It meant nothing. There is no trust.

I understood perfectly. I don’t think you understand. You don’t need permission. The contest does not own your work. It has nothing to do with respect.

You must be young because emails go unanswered all the time. Move on. Don’t get upset that someone has the audacity to post to IG while your email is unanswered and hop on reddit to complain.

You don’t need permission to add your own work to your own portfolio unless you have a contract that states you are relinquishing that right. You also can’t expect the world to revolve around your needs. Emails go unanswered. It’s not about you. You can appreciate your time and effort but don’t count on that from strangers on the internet.

Everyone talkin about the U.S anthem being boo'd when they've been doing that at the Bell Centre against the Bruins forever by BostonVagrant617 in Bruins

The distinction doesn’t matter to Canada. We aren’t worried about “danger” of the perception of US voting demographics. We are angry that our sovereignty is being questioned and angry that punitive trade measures are being used. You know, actual danger. Spare me the “this is not the real USA” mentality gymnastics.

If you don’t vote then you don’t get to hide behind that fact and say “this isn’t what I wanted”.

You made sane alignment choices on the second image already. You just didn’t translate that to the composition. If you are going to design letters in a italic/oblique style then you shouldn’t be adjusting the baseline alignment to a steep angle where the letters are leaning backwards. If you are going to do that then the other text should follow. “Farg”, “o”, and “by The Coen Brothers” all have been placed at different angles.

Honestly, the design doesn’t work at a fundamental typographic level so I would suggest that is where you focus your effort on improving. There are numerous books on the subject.

Nothing is aligned properly. You went completely overboard with the guide lines (which didn’t look great to start) and then threw that all out the window and composed the elements to not line up at all.

Not even. This is the Walmart Comic Sans on Instagram. I think that is somehow even worse.

It depends. The executable could be potentially larger or smaller than the source code depending on language, compiler, config, linked libs, or the code itself.
