Wow whiteboy7thst now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a LONG time

Watsky!

I have literally never thought about it other than when these types of discussions come up. If I hadn’t been circumcised I would probably think about it the exact same amount

I mean, you can add their user agent to the robots file but the crawler could just change their user agent or even ignore the robots file if the server isn’t filtering requests by user agent

That one’s hard for me to read and I’m not even dyslexic!

I blame the rise of frameworks, libraries, and IDEs. It’s easier for someone who knows nothing to throw some software together and ship it.

I very much disagree with this. Yes to an extent you don’t need to know as much as you might have in the past but if we had to constantly reinvent the wheel, I don’t think we would have nearly as many people entering/remaining in this field. Additionally well written frameworks and libraries can actually make your code safer since you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and discover the pitfalls all over again. IDEs are also a net positive IMO. Errors next to the line of code that caused them, breakpoints, interactive debugging. These are all things I personally would find hard to live without. Necessities? Technically no. But good god do I not want to have to read build output unless necessary.

The API is going through code review right now!

“All bleeding eventually stops”

Whenever I see his name now I always think of this interview he did with Jena Friedman. Her composure through the whole thing is incredible

And the effects will be

While the effects you list don’t seem entirely implausible, you’re stating these hypothetical situations as if they are already fact and we have evidence to indicate that. I agree with @substill in that I don’t see Threads being a threat to small communities.

Woah. Never really thought of it like that. One of those “well duh” things that we just take for granted and forget about

While it’s hard for me to come up with an ALL TIME favorite… playing Doom 2016/eternal is one of my greatest pleasures in life. Just simple mindless hack and slash that can get MUCH more difficult if you want it to

Will you also need a pilots license to purchase? I wonder where you would even be allowed to transition from driving to flying…
