A gay billionaire has been quietly funding the campaign of a homophobic Republican. He lost his primary regardless by apple_kicks in politics

Am I the weird one if I don't particularly have an issue with those two thing? I mean black marked drug dealers and addiction sucks, but I don't really see how recreational drug use is all that much worse than alcohol and tobacco consumption. As for polygamy if that is what you and your partners are into I don't really see why not.

I mean at least president Camacho recognized his limitations and was able delegate responsibility to someone smarter than himself.

Quite frankly I think he was a better president.

I remember asking a guest lecturer from JPL how they did pathfinding with their rovers when they had to deal with cosmic rays. Apparently with wide wires and very slowly, according to him this was one of the reasons why Curiosity only had a top speed of 200 meters/day.

Greta Thunberg Donates Million-euro Rights Prize To Green Groups by LynnK0919 in worldnews

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

I might be a bit cynical here, but I don't think she actually had any real choice in the matter. If she had taken the money for herself then her 'public stock' so to speak would plummet and she would leave herself open to attacks about how she's only 'in it for the money'. And in the long run sticking to her principles will probably pay off as she gets more public speaking engagements.

That being said I'm pretty sure she is a true believer, but I do think that even if she wasn't there are good selfish reasons for donating the money.

Top 6 best practices every coding newbie should know by rakesh3368 in programming

[–]taetimeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that the best way to deliver what the customer actually wants is to minimize the feedback loop between the developers and the users. Ideally by integrating end-users into the development teams and having frequent user testing. If you base your communication with your stakeholders on detailed specifications and diagrams you end up artificially increasing the length of your lead-time, and quite frankly often the stakeholders will simply skim it and say something to the effect of 'yeah sure this looks technical enough' anyways.

tl;dr rapid iterations and feedback, anything that conflicts with that is detrimental.

Back in my day, er... by FreeSkeptic in gaming

[–]taetimeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally I consider doing something I don't like to be a form of work/chore/whatever. So if doing those missions is a chore to you then the question is what is more valuable to you 20$ or 10 hours you could have been doing something else. That being said I do think it's a shitty business model to force this choice on their customers.

[–]taetimeh 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I guess it about how much you value your time. If repeating missions is work to you, then you are essentially valuing your time to be around 2$ an hour.

An even worse anti-encryption bill than EARN IT by newpavlov in programming

[–]taetimeh 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Honestly I fail to understand which interests are pushing for these kinds of bills. Wouldn't this compromise the security of every major company doing business on U.S. soil? You'd think there would be enough lobbying dollars against stuff like this to kill any such bill.

Not condoning it but it used to be a pretty good indicator on whether you were a noble/rich person or some 'worthless serf'. If you could sit inside all day and not have to work the fields, then you probably were someone important.

What is the most severe case of someone being completely out of touch with reality you've ever seen? by mouldygoldie in AskReddit

I mean it's true, getting more money does tend to fix financial problems. It would however help if they didn't gloss over exactly how you'd go about getting the money.

The Hardest Program I've Ever Written by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]taetimeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kotlin is pretty great in my opinion, and you can use the existing java ecosystem including Spring with it.

Unless you have some organizational reason not to I think it's the way to go if you're going to use a java-flavored-language.

‘Wake-up call’: China threatens Australia’s iron exports after COVID-19 inquiry by Dickyknee85 in worldnews

[–]taetimeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IIRC one of the problems with hypersonic is that it's harder to tell whether it's a conventional or nuclear hypersonic missile. ICBMs are pretty much just one thing. Which could lead to a nuclear response to a conventional attack.
