Propaganda about Europe needing AC is dangerous and must stop
Heat waves are uncomfortable, yes, but they are survivable with basic common sense
AC is a luxury that accelerates the climate crisis causing these hot summers!
Instead destroying our planet even more, we must embrace sensible solutions: staying in a shade, opening windows at night and siestas
Europeans don't "need" AC to live productive lives
Let's just accept that sometimes weather is hot (shocking, I know)
A little discomfort is a small price for being morally correct

@systemdesignone Yes, it’s a piece of shit. I’m actually not sure if anyone likes it to be honest apart from the hardcore coders. The reason it got traction is probably because it was written for Linux kernel developers.

Facts about Git
>Has a steep learning curve
>Makes merge conflicts inevitable
>Has many ways to do the same task
>Lets you rewrite history and lose work
>Simple tasks require cryptic commands
>Creates error messages nobody understands
>Forces developers to memorize obscure workflows
Why do people like this thing?

@SonofOmahu “Trad wife”? Extremist? Oh fuck off you dumb cunts.

Students are pushing back against the far-left propaganda that dominates schools and universities.
Good for them.

@Jeyffre I’ve alway said the users with technical skill have a huge advantage. It’s all about knowing how to write the prompts.
English
It's incredibly dumb to think that a non-technical person can vibecode as well as a decently experienced programmer -- as if AI is doing all the work.
Not having a mental model of what you can and cannot do will make you hit invisible walls.
I'm not saying a motivated person can't learn to create great apps with AI.
I'm saying put two people on a desk. One technical, one not, and have them vibecode the same thing. The results will be predictable.
I've literally watched non-technical people vibecode.
They get stuck on the most random things.

this guy writes commit messages by hand still 🤡

when you are vibe coding... is there really any commit message that is useful?

@ronsterd89 People like you are proof that basic Economics should be taught more at schools.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

@miroirdufou @jk_rowling Normal variation of what?
English
@jk_rowling Where you state what you think are facts, what you are in fact doing is making normative claims about language use, based on a premise that being trans is a dangerous disorder that needs to be corrected, not a normal variation that should be accommodated, socially & medically.

You might find it difficult to do two things at once, Paul, but I find it remarkably easy to enjoy the millions I've made while continuing to care about women's rights.

@androgenic_ Same thing happened to me. I met a dude dressed a cat so I said “nice costume.” He told me he was actually a real cat so apologised for misspecies-ing him.
English
I accidentally misgendered someone but at least I apologised for it

Elon Musk has suffered the biggest ever loss of personal wealth after a dramatic fall in the value of SpaceX.

The Trade Depot executive team. Mystery solved. @2ETEKA

Thankfully we have @chrislynchmedia who bothered to investigate this story, and contacted Trade Depot MD John Christie who acknowledged the wording was incorrect. “An advertisement was posted on SEEK for a warehouse and dispatch role at our Hamilton site stating that proficiency in Hindi or Punjabi was essential,” Christie said. The wording was wrong, and that error is ours. Those languages should have been described as an advantage for this role, not a requirement. Trade Depot is against discrimination in any form. We hire on people’s skills and attitude. This listing didn’t reflect that,” Christie said. “Additional language skills can be a real asset at a branch, and that is what this role was meant to address. We removed the advertisement as soon as we became aware of it, and we are reviewing how our job advertisements are written and approved so this does not happen again,” Christie said. Everyone is welcome at Trade Depot. We apologise for it, and to anyone it discouraged from applying.” Seek should also be asked for comment - do they not ensure advertisements are legally compliant before publishing them? chrislynchmedia.com/news-items/tra…

@_andrewthecoder @Woofology I find Windows a lot harder to use. Nothing is intuitive.
English
@Woofology more people are jumping ship every day. Windows is not good, and it seems to be getting worse. I had to install it on a virtual machine for a client project and I could not figure it out. Nothing about it made any sense to me. I have been using computers since the 1980s!

Linux is good for many people but it can be hard for beginners 😭 Windows feels easier for most users

I want everyone to use Linux.

@saltyreigns - Sorry, not right fit.
- What do you mean?
- Just not the right fit.
- In what way?
- Not Indian.
English
This is great but the discrimination won’t go away. They will just quietly remove it from their ads while explaining that John Brown “just wasn’t the right fit” while Arjan Singh had the “required credentials”
We need law change. English only in NZ businesses.

@TheFinalRecord @falconerd Software development is about reducing complexity, not increasing it.
English
@falconerd This is so vibe coder brained. What about maintaining and updating the app? How do you know that removing one feature will not break the app? What about compile time? Final memory size?
English
Programming isn't hard.
They made it hard. They taught you to care about class hierarchies, design patterns, and philosophical concepts that have zero overlap with the code required to solve the problem.
Look at what a program actually does.
Data comes in. You transform it. Data goes out.
That's it. That's the entire job.
Everything else is optional. And most of it is wrong.
English
@falconerd Exactly. And do you know why they did it? Jobs for the boys.

@chrislynchmedia @TheGrampus1 Not good enough. Knowing Hindi isn’t an advantage for driving a fucking forklift.

🚩There are literally hundreds of Jobs popping up online advertised ONLY FOR INDIANS, e.g Trade depot in Hamilton are looking for a forklift driver - “OSH Forklift Licence is essential” and so is : “Proficiency in Hindi or Punjabi is essential for effective communication with team members and clients” NZ’s Human Rights Act 1993 and Employment Relations Act 2000 prohibit discrimination in job ads, and hiring on these grounds • Race or colour • Ethnicity or national origins. Language requirement is discrimination. Treating people differently or less favourably because of these traits is unlawful. But I guess Modhi is now in charge of our discrimination laws in addition to our immigration policies. Indians only hire Indians - everyone knows this. National/ Labour/Act are determined to destroy us with immigration. FFS Vote NZFirst #sol=742bdbd2a2477be8618dae4ef4b0cc91e1f2100a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nz.seek.com/job/92816782?t…
