Not just whined, but ran away. And the very best part is that the hecklers thought Trump, sr. didn't go far enough in his racism and nationalism! Glad to see they're starting to eat themselves.

Imagine thinking Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are "news anchors". Buddy, you ain't watchin' "the news". You're watching editorial summaries of "the news". I watch Cody Johnston, John Oliver, and Sam Seder... I'd never use the word "anchor" to describe any of those motherfuckers.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Y2K talk Actual programmer. Modern people who see that we got through it undersell the degree to which the effects from these problems BEFORE THEY HAPPENED were "we don't know, and we can't afford to find out". This forms a very bad cocktail when legit crazy preppers get wind of it so it looks crazy in retrospect. I had a client hit the 2038 problem because their literal graybeards weren't thinking that they were issuing bus passes that had a "forever" expiry date 25 years in the future, and we started a project for them just as the calendar rolled around. All of a sudden bus passes were expiring back in the 1970s (since 1/1/1970 is the Linux's 0 date). The real solution today is: -Time is hard (think about all the different timezones, weird places that do 30-minute DST or whatever... and you need to account for ALL of them FAST). -Computers are way faster than they used to be. -So people just use prewritten libraries now, where smart people solved all the problems, and our computers are fast enough to handle the bulky computations. In programmer land if you're doing anything whatsoever with time and you're not using a modern library to do it, you will regret this, please move to modern libraries right now regardless of cost or seek other employment. (There are exceptions but hopefully very smart people are there and know when to ignore the rule.)

I have a coworker who's never studied CS or software engineering, but needs to learn scripting for work, and I made the mistake of thinking he had more knowledge than he actually has... And he tried to write his own time libraries in Powershell. We had a nice Come to Jesus after that...

Pre-written libraries are the best thing, but even having a model to base off-of is such a time saver anyone who isn't trying to normalize code is a monster who deserves to be driven-out. Spend my days updating/modifying old pre-model systems for databases and the old "cowboy" methods of "whatever gets it done" makes me crazy. Sure, forego established in-program processes and just dump it in a stored procedure, you loving twat. That's the way to go... Good Lord.

Samovar posted:So how are the right handling the heckling of Don Jr.? From what I see, Breitbart and Fox news are just not reporting it, which is pretty normal for them with embarrassing/confusing stories. It seems like there is a schism happening with one faction (Fuentes, milo, who else?) demanding more overt white nationalism and anti semitism, but of course Charlie kirk, TPUSA and Don Jr. and Fox aren't interested in being in a room with them. Breitbart even likes to keep it a little more discreet than that and doesn't want an in-fight. But Breitbart just doesn't cover news they dont like. There's a lot of comments on BB like "why are my posts being deleted and why are racial slurs filtered in the comments?" - I think that's this group speaking up.

They are all credited to real-looking authors, but I suspect those people might not be real either. Or maybe they are and they pay for the credit? Who knows, either way poo poo's way too stupid to be what it purports to be.

NPR is getting on my nerves. They keep saying "Alleged prid pro quo" and basically reporting the impeachment inquiry as if the motherfucking POTUS and his underlings haven't precisely admitted to it. There's no "alleged" about it. They loving bragged about it. "A PERFECT" phone call"

Putting "alleged" is as standard as you can get. You can find someone waist deep in the bodies that 50,000 people just saw him slaughter and they would still say "alleged" because of the whole "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" thing.

Except that quid pro quo isn't a crime, it should be the president engaged in a quid pro quo to allegedly extort the Ukrainian government to investigate a political rival. They admitted to the quid pro quo and their defense is that a quid pro quo isn't a crime, and technically that argument is correct. the "alleged" crime is bribery and extortion.

It surprisingly becomes an issue when the pro quo is something illegal and the quid was never yours for bargaining.

I just learned about Newsmax TV this morning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsmax_TV "Featuring experts like Michelle Malkin, Bill O'Reilly and I forgot the other conservabot" where I can "get all the facts the media won't tell you". Don't know if it's for people who think FOX is too liberal or what but it made me roll my eyes and I'd never heard of it. I can say with confidence that it's probably terrible though

Right, but the post I was responding to (and there have been others on these forums making a similar claim) is that Democrats would use the power of the pardon to pardon Trump. There's no universe where that makes any sense for even the most cowardly politically triangulating Democrat to do.
