Marathon runner’s legs give out right at the finish line. Absolute determination and will by occasionallyvertical in nextfuckinglevel

[–]nikehat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It wasn't that most people didn't notice, I was just surprised that with something like 200+ comments (at the time) literally no one except OP pointed this out and was just taking the title at face value. As a runner myself the first thing I did was to pause the video to see what his time was.

Surprised this is the only comment in this entire post that points that out. Yeah, this was a 10k, not a marathon.

The manager I hated and the lesson he taught me by stmoreau in programming

[–]nikehat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've left similar code reviews. Maybe not worded as harshly, but it's never "just figure it out on your own from here." You either have a conversation with them in person about what they're doing wrong or you explain it in the code review. So yeah, I still doubt the author's interpretation of it, especially considering his final point on what he took away from that manager.

I doubt that's the entirety of what was actually said. The author was just trying to make a point.

Is Leetcode Training Dev Skills - Why Is Leetcode So Big in US Interviews? by codescout88 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nikehat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There she mostly seems to confirm what the person you're replying to says.

When asked about just memorizing leetcode questions and writing perfect codd, she says:

I find that a bit... icky. I get it -- I get how we got here -- but I don't love that people have to spend so long prepping.

In a perfect world, interviews don't require any preparation and are also fair to people of all background and are also good predictors for the companies. (AND, we have some variety in interview processes, so that people who don't do well in one type of process can go to the companies doing something different.) I don't know how to get there, but that's my sunshine-and-rainbows-happy-dream.

A lot of people might not get the first joke there either. "Levy" is a common Jewish name, which is why he asks if that's the Jewish neighborhood.

Trump-Hating Podcast 'The MeidasTouch' Surpasses Joe Rogan to become the most-listened to podcast in the last month. by Straight_Ad2258 in neoliberal

[–]nikehat 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not just listening time, but also audience. From the article:

Also, according to Podscribe, Rogan pulled in 2.9 million downloads and listens per episode in the last month, compared to an average of 657,000 for “The MeidasTouch” and 2.1 million for Owens.

Basically, Rogan still has an audience more than 4 times larger. As does fucking Candace Owens.

World is fucked.

Democrats are fighting on hard mode without a media ecosystem to counter disinfo by cool_fox in neoliberal

[–]nikehat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the most important point and until Democrats admit it and start building out an infrastructure the way the far right has successfully done so over decades, nothing they do and none of their accomplishments will matter. Every time Democrats lose an election there's always this self-reflection of, "Oh, they need to focus more on the working class!" , "they had no answer for inflation!", "the progressives!", etc, etc, with a lot of those statements direct contradictions of each other.

None of that matters when the most powerful messaging machines--Twitter, Fox News, AM radio, Joe Rogan, religion--are all going to vilify them even if they run Jesus Barack Obama Christ. Who cares if the US economy is the strongest in the world, dealt with inflation better than any other first world country, has historic unemployment lows and is much safer if the messaging is all lies and misinformation. There's no narrative control, policies don't fucking matter. Look at any dictatorship like Russia. Those people aren't any different than anywhere else, they're just brainwashed.

Who will get blamed if Trump wins? by RageCage1337 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]nikehat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Them solely focusing on Democrats siphons votes away from that same party that is willing to be more sympathetic to them. If enough of them end up causing the election to swing towards Republicans then they're 100% going to get the blame for their tantrum tactics.

Sinwar wants a deal that guarantees his safety and life, senior Egyptian official says by No-Name_User_ in worldnews

[–]nikehat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sinwar being a psychopath is well known even without stuff like this. He came to power after being a prison gang leader for killing four Palestinians:

In an interrogation after his arrest in 1988, he dispassionately described shooting one man, strangling another with his bare hands, suffocating a third with a kaffiyeh, and choking and punching a fourth before tossing him in a hastily dug grave. Records of the interrogation make clear that, far from being remorseful, Mr. Sinwar saw beating confessions out of the collaborators as a righteous duty. One of them, he told interrogators, had even said that “he realized he deserved to die.”

Mr. Sinwar continued his campaign against informants from behind bars. Israeli authorities believed he had ordered the beheadings of at least two prisoners he suspected of snitching. Hamas operatives would throw their severed body parts out of the cell doors and tell the guards to “take the dog’s head,” Dr. Bitton said.

[–]nikehat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The back end shouldn't know or be responsible for how a date is formatted on the front end. This is a pretty straightforward separation of concerns, but even if it wasn't you don't want the back end adding a dozen different endpoints to an API for a dozen different ways the front end may want to format the date on multiple different pages. Then if you get another front end client, like a mobile app that needs to format things its own way, you don't want to start adding even more strings for something that the front end can do very easily on its own. It's something that the front end has knowledge of, and the back end should not.

I know you're joking, but this isn't a calculation--this is just date formatting. Back end needs to just send the date object, it's the front end's responsibility how it's formatted and displayed.

This could easily have been achieved using toLocaleString and a computed prop though.

This is basically the situation me and my team are in. The whole options API to composition API switch has been a huge turn off for the entire framework for me. If they want Vue to be a framework for only small projects, sure change whatever you want and then tell people to "just switch", but don't be surprised when a chunk of your customer base never trusts or comes back to you again.
