SCP to prod, or ssh in and copy paste. Devops only removed write access to prod machines this month, and people complained. (No, we don’t have docker)

I think they used Amazon CodeCommit for a while, but I don’t know what that’s like.

This almost makes me appreciate my current job, where most stuff has been in place for years and any changes take forever.

It’s kind of a bummer that it’s going to take like six months to add a linter, and they only started using git like last year.

I assume that many of them think they’re “not like other girls” and thus an exception.

You can feel attacked, then think about it for a moment and react in some other way.

Many people need to accept that they are not perfect, and be open to learning. Instead, many people lash out. Gotta protect their ego.

I’ve tried both. I think part of it is friction from little behaviors that I expect to be like Google sheets but aren’t. I don’t even know what they are until I hit some keys and excel does the “wrong” (but probably reasonable) thing.

It’s funny that many so called Christians don’t seem to follow the core of the religion.

I feel like Google sheets is a better experience than Excel, at least for my personal usage. I’m not enterprise though, and not trying to run it like a database or anything crazy.

It’s also “No one tells me what to do. I tell you what to do.”

Colloquially, racism means prejudice based on the perception of someone’s “race” (ie: ancestry, physical characteristics such as skin tone).

That covers things like assuming a black man knows about gangs and rap based only on their skin color.

There’s also the institutional level where individuals might not really think or feel anything about race, but it still is a factor. Stuff like closing polling places in predominantly black neighborhoods, or individual police officers who are given a quota and only assigned to black neighborhoods. Housing in the US has a long history intersecting with the idea of race. “The Color of Law” was a pretty good read on it.

Wikipedia puts it nicely:

Racism can also be said to describe a condition in society in which a dominant racial group benefits from the oppression of others, whether that group wants such benefits or not.

That seems like how it is in the US too.

“Racism is only a thing very bad evil people do. I’m not an very bad evil person. Thus I cannot have done racism.”

Not every law is just or sensible. “It’s illegal” is a far weaker claim than “it’s morally wrong” or similar. People conflate the two.

It can get pretty crowded in some places at some times. Major transit hubs like Penn station, herald square, times square, all get pretty dense.

I’ve been working from home so I don’t need to go to the busier parts at often.

Neither. Cutting down a healthy tree for a little ritual seems extremely wasteful to me. I don’t care much about Xmas so I don’t have a fake tree, either. I do have lights up in the apartment, but they’re up year round. I like the colors.

Looks like the kind of thing you’d see in a FromSoft game, too.

He doesn’t even officially become mayor until January.

People act like he won be primary and became God king. And then won the general and became double God king.

I like turn based RPGs sometimes. The biggest gripe I usually have is they often devolve into a state where I just want to play it in fast forward.

Like in ff7, somewhere in the second half I got Ultima+mp_absorb. From then on pretty much every trash fight is trivial. But you still need a lot of XP to level up stuff. Or ff5 I think, you can get double-cast if you spend an hour or two fighting trash mobs, but that’s really boring.

This isn’t inherent to turn based games, but it does come up a lot.

Elon Musk should be abolished.

It’s the only MMO I felt was good. Feels like a real game. No level or gear grind.

I didn’t do the latest expansion yet but I’ve done all the others.

Do I just get one shot or can I keep trying until I get it right?

Basically anything that reduces Republican power in the US is probably a win overall.
