It’s funny because JD Vance is overshadowing Trump. I see more talk about JD Vance than I do about Trump.

Trump needs the hate and attention, his supporters like him because he is counter-culture. Trump is their guy in the fight. If that stops then Trump becomes just an old rich white guy. This is why Trump plays the victim card every speech and talks about all the attacks he’s constantly suffering.

We’re seeing more and more that our “free market” with its “competition” doesn’t provide goods and services that most people want, which makes me wonder, why have free markets and competition?

This is how companies that don’t have competition act. This is how most companies act. We need more anti-trust enforcement.

I believe the full quote is “As long as I gave it my all, that’s what this is about”.

I thought it was about who would be President and all that entails, but apparently is actually about Joe doing his personal best.

There was a time I wanted a Tesla, but I don’t anymore. This is just another reason why.

Does Tesla care about making a “neat thing” or do they care about making “a car that can drive me places”. The doors clearly show they prioritize making a “neat thing”, but I want a reliable car.

Opening and closing doors was a solved problem. Somehow Tesla made it worse.

At least C++ build tools are easier than modern JS.

There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…

That’s a good example. If I’m regularly running a command that is a single whitespace character away from disaster, that’s a problem.

Imagine a fighter aircraft that had an eject button on the side of the flight stick. The pilot complains “I’m afraid I might accidentally hit the eject button when I don’t need to”, but everyone responds “why would you push the eject button if you don’t want to eject?”, or “so your concern is that the eject button will cause you to eject…?” – That’s how I feel right now.

More like, I’m afraid of the command doing more than I’m trying to do.

What I want to do is ignore prompts about write-protected files in the .git directory, what it does is ignore all prompts for all files.

I think the joke is that the Jr. Developer sits there looking at the screen, a picture of a cat appears, and the Jr. Developer types “cat” on the keyboard then presses enter. Boom, AI in action!

The truth behind the joke is that many companies selling “AI” have lots of humans doing tasks like this behind the scene. “AI” is more likely to get VC money though, so it’s “AI”, I promise.
