Yeah it’s just being angry about the fact that the Earth is rotating ball. Wanting to abolish timezones is different from Flat Earth only be degrees.

Sure the “what time is it there?” question goes away, but it’s replaced by “what are your business hours?”

Ultimately it will be daytime in one part of the world while it’s night in another part of the world. That will always cause problems.

This is actually the best approach.

Obviously they are getting timezone information otherwise the app could only display whatever time the user entered in.

If you want to sort things by the actual time, it’s simple and performant if all of the times are in the same timezone, and UTC would be the standard one to use. Pushing the timezone calculations to the client makes sense because the UTC time is correct, it’s just a matter of displaying it in a user friendly way, ie. show the time in the user’s timezone.

If the plan involves ethnic cleansing and the UN suddenly becoming wealthy, it may not be a good plan.

Are we posting boomer memes here now?

Those WWII tanks could get multiple direct hits on a modern tank and the modern tank would be fine. The modern tank would fire back once (while moving over rough terrain) and obliterate the WWII tank with a single hit. The modern tanks use more complex materials and technology because it makes them superior to older tanks in every way.

Just how technology works, boomers. More sophisticated materials aren’t used for the hell of it. They’re used because after a lot of testing they proved to be better.

Yeah today after getting three bad answers in a row from ChatGPT I was quoting Thanos… “Fine. I’ll do it myself.”

This is about 50% of what I use ChatGPT for. Something I’ve done many times before, but I just need a quick reminder about the exact syntax.

The other 50% is just creating DTOs that have properties that are suitable for parsing JSON or XML or can be used to dump data from SQL into. The boring shit.

But as soon as someone gets to an intermediate level and start thinking for themself and make those exact same mistakes.

“We’ve been doing things wrong this whole time! I figured out a better way!” Then spend a lot of time implementing the “better” way only to find out it performs like shit and actually takes more work to implement and maintain anything.

Everyone has to do that at least once.

It’s not too bad for learning a new language, but you still have to make an effort to understand why the code it’s giving you works… or doesn’t work which can happen often.

Also not uncommon going the other way too. NATO countries will commonly station just a few soldiers in countries like Estonia. It’s trip wire kind of thing, it means if Russia attacks that country then there will immediately be soldiers from many different NATO countries (even just a few soldiers each) fighting to defend the country on day one.

There’s more than just a handful of soldiers from each NATO countries in the Baltic countries now to deter Russia from doing something stupid. And it doesn’t make sense for Estonia to deploy a lot of their military to the Red Sea given the situation with Russia. So they send one soldier as a statement that they support the operation, they simply don’t currently have the military resources to contribute significantly.

The tripwire concept applies here too, an attack on a ship that soldier is on is an attack on Estonia. Doubt that will deter the Houthis (they’re psychos) but it’s still a show of support.

Of course not, it’s the GNU[NU…]IMPTK.

I’ve never had much success with this. It starts out fine and then I’m like “I’m being stupid, I should write some code to write this code for me.” Then later “I should write some code that will write the code that’ll write the code for me.” Then I get lost in all the abstraction and say “fuck it, I’ll just play a video game”.

There’s a difference between software that’s designed to be easy for people that haven’t seen it before and software that’s meant to be used by someone that’s been trained to use it.

CAT 9 isn’t reliable. There’s a hard limit at 9, no one really knows why. It’s best to stay below that limit to have a safety margin.

Relax, it’s Cat-6 compliant.

Oof… well you can just say “it must be some hardware problem or something… maybe a reboot will fix it.”

We’ve all experienced the walk of shame to the server room to hook up a monitor keyboard.

The Romans had this thing called a fasces that symbolized power.

Maybe we should name this movement to restore the Roman Empire after this?

Fascesism? Not that’s too long… Fascism… yeah that rolls off the tongue.

Wonder if anyone has thought of this before?

The article’s headline is "Houthis in Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 9 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”

This is fine. Though the subheader says “The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals”. Should be using words like “the group” or “the faction” not “the country”.

Anyway, the link here is "Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 10 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”

Not sure the reason for changing it from the headline of the article. Perhaps the linked article did have the same headline as here when OP posted it, and they changed it because of similar feedback I’m making here. Don’t know if OP can change it now. Anyway, it’s been noted in by my comment and other comments, so I guess it’s fine.

Such are the problems inherent in alternative media.

It’s really extreme to look the other way when members of your own group are being killed in horrific ways just so that you can continue to be a part of a fascist cause.

I mean looking the other way when Jews are murdered is kinda par for the course for fascists. But with most people there’s a realization when people of their own group are getting brutally murdered.

It’s also a crazy disconnect from reality when you think reporting on something that is actually happening is a coincidence. Or do you think Amnesty International is part of some international Jewish conspiracy that the antisemitic types go on and on about?

No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.

Maybe you should make adjustments to your feed. It seems to be having a psychological impact on you. This may be the intention of those that are putting these things on your feed. I mean you’ve gotten to the point where you’re looking the other way about the brutality occurring in Yemen because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want, why do you feel it’s important to not look the other way on the brutality of war? What’s the criteria you’re using to determine which horrific acts you look the other way on?

Seems you’re choosing to only look at some brutality to maintain a simple narrative to keep yourself angry.
