A huge swath of Republican voters are not voting for Trump. They are voting against “Democrats”. Propaganda in the US has turned politics into a team sport, and you always root for your team, even if your team is having a rough season.

Ours has leaned they are not allowed in the counter when we’re watching.

I keep an eye on these types of treatments. Type 1 diabetes being autoimmune and all.

So far, I’m putting it in the bucket with all the other “cure is just 5 years away” things we hear about.

It’s promising, and neat it’s worked in these cases, but I remain skeptical. Twice over as it appears to be research from China, who doesn’t have the best track record for robust scientific integrity. We’ll see how repeatable this stuff is soon enough.

There’s a problem there, though. The propaganda was basically various versions of “The government (when run by Democrats) is bad, don’t trust the government.”

If they put up a notice saying, “This domain was seized, here’s the real facts!” the target of the propaganda isn’t going to buy it for a hot minute.

If they put up replacement content that doesn’t mention the government seizure, tha target of the propaganda is already primed to shout, “Fake news!” at anything that disputes their existing worldview.

It’s best to just let those domains return like a 504 Internal Server Error and die a quiet death.

A “Library of Congress” for published web content maybe. Some sort of standard that allows / requires websites that publish content on oublic-facing sites to also share a permanent copy with an archive, without having the archive have to scrape it.

Sort of like how book publishers send a copy to the LoC.

“Tiajuana? No, that’s too easy. Ensenada!”

I see. It seems like you may be one of the people that try to coerce relational models into nosql stores like Dynamo.

Or course it’s possible. They even trick you into thinking it’s a good pattern by naming things “tables”.

But if you’re using Dynamo to its fullest an ORM is not going to be able to replicate that into a relational store without some fundamental changes.

I am literally in the middle of swapping DynamoDB for a RDBMS.

The idea that you can abstract away such fundamentally different data stores is silly. While I hate doing it now, reworking the code to use relational models properly makes for a better product later.

Thomas Jefferson never added airplane safety regulations to the Constitution ergo, it’s completely unregulated. Also, Justice Alito would like to cite a man with tapestries tied to his arms as he jumped off a cliff in the 9th century saying of course it’s safe.

I’d like to know.

I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don’t have to save so much for retirement… Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

Right.

Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

I say “two” to handle the very common case of children putting their parents’ homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don’t do it early enough.

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn’t make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

That’s all well and good, but remember,

concurring opinion

…is what matters at the end of the day.

I have frequently complained that the cat doesn’t do anything useful except generate poo, and what can I do with that?

My demands to get a job are met with disdain.

I think a better question: Why are they reading YouTube comments?

It’s pretty good, but you only get a half serving.

I don’t know how other devs tolerate IDEs in the first place. Is not (neo)vim and CLI sufficient?

The Christian god is just a spurned lover who wrote in their diary about how stupid and mean their ex is and they should never have dumped him.

Satan is the dumper and has moved on long ago.

I tend to do my primary shopping at a place where you bag your own. The order is generally produce and bulk items first (it tends to be the bulk of the purchase), then frozen things, boxed/canned things, and finally squishy things like bread, eggs, and uh, delicious Hostess fruit pies.
