Keep it simple
"Keep it simple" says the project that decided it would be great to program in YAML...
I've tried using it to manage a few home servers and parameterizing anything was painful and boilerplate-ridden

C rule
Reply in thread
It's mostly because C is notorious for not holding your hand and not telling you when you mess up. Write one past the array's length? Might do nothing, might crash, might mess up some other data, might crash later in somewhere completely different.

If any job needs to be replaced by AI, it sure would be of the executives first

My interpretation is that companies will spend a lot of effort analyzing human behavior, to find underlying motivations and trends, but won't apply that analysis to themselves as a business and ultimately just pursue the line going up no matter the consequences.

Stop making up states

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast
Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it's called a PENINSULA

Anon recommends a cast iron pan
This has been my experience with cast iron. There's so, so, so much conflicting information on them. Even in this thread.
I wish the Mythbusters would come back just to test via experimentation all these conflicting claims.

Can cis dudes have gender goals?
"Body image" is basically gender goals for cis people. Not saying that in a bad way, but there's a lot of overlap.

Evil
Everybody gangsta with the "don't be evil" clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.
I doubt (or at least hope) that that's not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.

Quoþ ð Tankies, "BUT DEMS SAME ÐO!"
Reply in thread
Because Republicans have chosen Trump as the leader of their in-group, and everything they say and do is just sound bytes for getting him in power and abusing the out group, no matter how inconsistent, hypocritical, or false it is. They don't actually think what they mock the left for is bad, but if they can use it to justify being against them, they'll use it.

Fun elimination platformer. If you wish Kirby did more with the power mixing from Kirby 64, you'll probably like it.

JSON Query Language
SQL blows for hierarchical data though.
Want to fetch a page of posts AND their tags in normalized SQL? Either do a left join and repeat all the post values for every tag or do two round-trip queries and manually join them in code.
If you have the tags in a JSON blob on the post object, you just fetch and decide that.

Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?
Reply in thread
That's fair, but frankly, in my experience, the average American's idea of communism is "evil bad oppression big gubmint dictatorship". I was never taught in school about the theory behind communism or the practical government of the USSR (regardless of how close they may or may not have been), so I have little understanding into how these systems actually work and whether it's actually beneficial for those under them. I'm trying to rectify that on my own time but there's many people who don't care enough to do so and just parrot the same thought terminating cliches like "human nature".
