Staying mad at the DNC however is both understandable and rational, and has the potential to drive change if you allow yourself to channel it into something productive.
So much fucking this. The DNC has to learn from past mistakes or this shit is going to keep happening, and unless people are mad at them, they won't even think to change.
There's no real advantage to disable the root user, and I really don't recommend it. You can disable SSH root login, and as long as you ensure root has a secure password that's different than your own account your system is just as safe with the added advantage of having the root account incase something happens.
AI for form processing and/or paperwork would be great if done right.
Immagine you submit an application and either it's verified almost immediately, or is elevated to a real person because there's an issue. Could be awesome.
The DNC could have run an iguana wearing an offensive trucker hat, and we still should have voted for the iguana when Trump was the alternative or stood a chance of winning again.
You don't have to convince me of this. I completely agree. I've said only that the DNC has a responsibility to provide something better than an Iguana and for the past three election cycles, that's what we've got and people are pissed. But every time you try to have meaningful discourse about how the DNC is only supplying Iguana people treat you like you're some kind of turncoat who voted for Trump. And that's just bullshit.
We need to be mad at non-voters, people who "lashed out" and voted for Trump, and people who let themselves be swept away by the lies of a grifter who we did nothing but warn them about. But we also need to be mad at the DNC... It's not entirely the voters fault and fuck anyone who says it is.
Anyone who didn’t vote (or didn’t vote for the only candidate likely to defeat Trump) is responsible for his win.
Two things can be true at once. Voters not voting is bad, and it's their fault. The DNC being incapable of finding pundits people want to vote for is also bad, and is also their fault. Pointing one out, has nothing to do with the other and both of these factors led to the election of Donald Trump not once, but TWICE.
Pointing out the DNC's responsibility to find electable candidates doesn't elevate the voters responsibility. But if the DNC were capable of finding pundits voters wanted to vote for no issue would exist. You wouldn't have people refusing to vote, or voting for Trump out of some fucked up sense of "haha, I'm gonna stick it to you!"
Pretending like this issue is solely at the fault of the voters is so fucking disingenuous, disgusting and partyist its insane.
There was absolutely no reason to bring up that you were coding longer than I was alive
So since you've clearly forgotten, let's go back in time.
I said Windows should be rewritten from scratch because it has a poor foundation.
You said you should never rewrite large software!
I tell you that I've been a developer for decades, and that's not really true, it's just the authors opinion, and is entirely predicated on a mistaken supposition.
You get defensive and slap your age down on the table like it's a big ol' dick as if you could never be wrong because you're 60 years old.
I said that I didn't say that I was older than you. In fact I didn't mention age at all. I said that the likelyhood of me having been a professional developer for longer than you have been alive is high and you took that to mean as me saying "haha, I'm older so I'm right!"
You misrepresented something your own source said, as something I said, and said it was wrong--which is fucking hilarious to me.
You continue to take everything as a personal attack against you.
Now all of a sudden unless you work for Microsoft you don't have the ability to have a professional opinion about the subject matter--you posting Spolsky's word as the word of God despite him having worked for Microsoft for like 4 years over 2 decades ago. lol
I specifically referenced Gnu tools, window managers, etc. What is wrong with you?
This is exactly what you wrote;
I use Linux. There are frequent bugs that require me to type in a command manually to work around.
So a Canadian makes a statement in a US thread, about a US policy by a US President mistaking the situation and applying logic from a completely different country and passing it off like it's the most obvious thing in the world, and I'm the bad guy?
This place is just as shitty as Reddit sometimes, I guess.
