Dino DNA!

crazy how there’s billion dollar movies that have embarrassingly incorrect dinosaurs in them

you sound like a smartard

the problem is that any metric to exclude voters will be manipulated by politicians to exclude demographics. unless you can come up with a simpler concept than “every citizen over 18 can vote” people will move the goal posts: eg, if you require education, do private schools count? what happens if your school loses accreditation after you graduate? what if you’re home schooled? what if your parents didn’t let you goto school?

ikr

i mean… you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes…

yeah, no, im with you on that point where frontend developers don’t care. but why did that framework catch on in the first place? we used to use php where the server would grab all the data relevant to your account and convert it into one html page. but now it seems the user’s laptop is tasked with pulling each element of their own website. maybe it’s easier to scale? like you can have the user’s data split across different servers and not require any communication between servers on the backend?

it’s frustrating because webpages were really functional without this problem a decade ago. i don’t know why links jump around today. is it because it’s cheaper to let the client figure out what content they need instead of using server-side computation?

no 👀

a master class in what-about-ism

yeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol… jkjk

but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.

also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the ai model positively, idk.

have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I’m not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.

i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.

how do you know it’s not bots?

you can still be a good engineer and still copy code from stack exchange. i wasn’t saying windows engineers are bad

windows engineers have probably been copying snippets from stackoverflow for decades, which may have been copied from the kernel or some other copyleft product
