cobra89, to memes in literally no clue

Despite those deniers that still blame housecats

Both things can be true. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Also we have less pollution and pesticide use than we did in the 60s and 70s. Why is it just becoming a problem now?

cobra89, (edited ) to programmer_humor in what's the difference?

Git = bittorrent

GitHub = the pirate bay

Code = content

Even that’s not the perfect analogy but it’s better than the OP.

cobra89, to linux in systemd 255-rc1 Brings "Blue Screen of Death" Support and New Tool To Spawn VMs

Hibernation into swap files backed by Btrfs are now supported.

I know Btrfs people have been waiting for this for quite a while.

cobra89, to fuck_cars in 8 lanes in one direction

If that counts as 8 lanes in the same direction, does this count as 10? Gov Alfred E. Driscoll Brg maps.app.goo.gl/BgwtjaQtns2EMf6g7

On the Garden State Parkway in NJ it’s one of the widest bridges in the world.

Gnome is the desktop environment. You may have gnome already installed if that’s what your OS uses, otherwise you probably have KDE. There are others but those are the 2 big ones.

The Desktop Environment is what gives the OS its look, and typically which GUI programs are installed by default.

To all the people who want to vote third party or withhold their vote, please tell me, when had that ever effected change?

This idea that if you hold your vote or vote 3rd party you’re gonna teach the establishment a lesson is laughable. No, the system will go on without you and you’ll just have even less of a voice/decision in the direction of our country.

There is a reason certain people work so hard to tell you your vote doesn’t matter. You’re all falling for it.

Edit: If you don’t like the candidates you have to choose from then go out and vote in the primaries because there’s about a 90% chance you’re not doing that.

Either that or they end up doing a bunch of coke at 3am.

cobra89, to news in Anti-China Rhetoric Is Off the Charts in Western Media

We had a collectivist culture, government funding for our own media with our own values, then we started getting leaned on.

This is hilarious to point out when you consider Rupert Murdoch has done more to change American politics than probably anyone else in the last 50 years, but you’re gonna complain about the US “leaning on” Australia? Sorry but that just screams of shirking responsibility for your own country’s problems.

cobra89, to linux in Gentoo goes Binary (packages)

Isn’t the reason everyone says they use Gentoo is because of “all the optimisations” but if you’re not compiling for your specific hardware doesn’t that go out the window?

cobra89, to memes in 6÷2(1+2)

While I agree the problem as written is ambiguous and should be written with explicit operators, I have 1 argument to make. In pretty much every other field if we have a question the answer pretty much always ends up being something along the lines of “well the experts do this” or “this professor at this prestigious university says this”, or “the scientific community says”. The fact that this article even states that academic circles and “scientific” calculators use strong juxtaposition, while basic education and basic calculators use weak juxtaposition is interesting. Why do we treat math differently than pretty much every other field? Shouldn’t strong juxtaposition be the precedent and the norm then just how the scientific community sets precedents for literally every other field? We should start saying weak juxtaposition is wrong and just settle on one.

This has been my devil’s advocate argument.

cobra89, to programmer_humor in Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

But the way everyone talks about it you’d think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there’s only ever been the 1 example. It’s the same case that every single article about it refers to.

cobra89, to news in France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations

Maybe the Israelis should speak up about Nehtanyahu too…

cobra89, to fuck_cars in Hoboken, NJ reduces annual traffic deaths to zero

He still added bike lanes that weren’t there before no? How is that harming personal non-car transit? Maybe go to city council meetings and ask that double parking in bike lanes be enforced. I would certainly think the city wants to make money from fines.

Also how many people are riding around on rollerblades? The “hexagonal bullshit” makes the bike lanes distinct and noticeable increasing awareness and also gives tactile feedback if a driver starts driving on the bike lane. Yeah it sucks for skateboarders but the tradeoffs are worth it, especially because again, how many skateboarders are there really? Some municipalities don’t even allow skateboards in bike lanes because the drastic speed difference between them and bikes tends to cause issues.

Could the bike lanes be better? Absolutely, they could be actually protected bike lanes like you pointed out but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, they don’t “suck”. And 0 pedestrian deaths over the span of a few years is very very good.

cobra89, to piracy in Naming Torrents

Yeah but at least with periods in the title tab complete will just complete the file name all the way while with a filename with spaces I have to escape the damn space with “\ ” like you said. Why do more work when I don’t have to?

cobra89, to memes in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

The point is to normalize not working extra hours so companies stop expecting it. It’s not anti-worker at all.
