How has nobody mentioned Sonic Colors yet?

Type-safe lipstick :)

To offer a differing opinion, why is null helpful at all?

If you have data that may be empty, it’s better to explicitly represent that possibility with an Optional<T> generic type. This makes the API more clear, and if implicit null isn’t allowed by the language, prevents someone from passing null where a value is expected.

Or if it’s uninitialized, the data can be stored as Partial<T>, where all the fields are Optional<U>. If the type system was nominal, it would ensure that the uninitialized or partially-initialized type can’t be accidentally used where T is expected since Partial<T> != T. When the object is finally ready, have a function to convert it from Partial<T> into T.

It seems pretty obvious to me at this point that the DNC would rather lose than have an actual progressive win.

It’s not in their interests to let a progressive win. Just like their counterpart, the DNC takes a shit ton of bribery donations from corporations lobbyists. Bringing in a progressive who would reform the system or push back against pro-corporate policies is biting the hands that feed them.

I’m mad that Biden and the Democratic leadership seems to have put their own interests above the interest of the party people.

The interests of the party is the interests of the rich :)

The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won’t win a single seat in their districts, you’re left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.

It’s a no-win situation.

The Democrat party is just as corrupt and bought out by corporations as the Republicans are, but at least they aren’t trying to get the country to circle the drain as quickly.

Op: Name and shame, please.

It would have if I actually had the PSID 🥲

It was an expensive lesson to take photos of my new drives and store the PSID and serial numbers in KeePass.

When using Opal (hardware encryption), it locks down the drive. Not even a secure erase would wipe/release the damn thing.

I had this happen to me with a hardware-encrypted bitlocker drive. I was forced to buy a new SSD, actually.

Any idea that comes out of that prick’s mouth is snake oil if we’re going to be truthful about it.

Only if you don’t buy the Season 1 Vault-Tec Access Pass for $49.99. Imagine not doing that and then not ever being able to get your Overpowered Armor at pass level 5. You would absolutely be ruining it for yourself by not investing into the seasonal passes.

If you can find the download for GitHub Enterprise, Ruby Concealer is little more than an XOR cipher. Make of that what you will.

Yeah… I think you might be an optimist. It was not the positive outcome you appeared to have taken away from it.

You can self-host GitHub. It takes around 32 GB of memory, however.

During a leap year. Where Squirrel Appreciation Day falls on a Sunday.

I put “Messages will arrive in three to five business days” in my bio, and that solved the problem nicely. Now, I simply don’t get matches at all 😎

I’m in a small minority, but their ring0 anticheat isn’t helping with that.

Allison from The Breakfast Club. I can fix her.

^{I’m not a teenager anymore however, so yeah, no thanks, Chris Hansen. I’ll stand.}
