Brilliant. I will bet he find some way to get it removed, though.

TIL somebody besides my wife thought that Roy Orbison was blind.

I have met one trans developer in the last 35 plus years, and I have worked at a lot of different places. I am based in the Midwestern US.

Is this more a European thing?

I was wondering what on earth the programmer socks memes were about. I guess there must be enough people somewhere to make this meme-worthy.

I came back here to say “It says right on their home page that it’s open source.” :-) I installed it & I’m running the importer now to see how well it handles large numbers of notes. Thanks much for the tip!

No but you got the city right. 🙂

I have a similar experience, but even with people in southern Ohio and Kentucky (where a lot of my current co-workers are), there is the opposite of a conservative tech-bro trend.

Where are you? My experience has been that most developers are obsessed with programming and politically liberal. I’m in the midwest, though, so maybe things are not so rosy on the west coast. It could also just be one person’s experience, but I have worked at a lot of different places in the last 35 years.

I thought that Western style Democratic republics were leading the world toward purely secular forms of government, but yet another group of sociopaths has managed to take power. They have distracted the science-illiterate majority into petty conflicts based on different versions of magical thinking.

So, “sane” would mean that we don’t elevate the least sane among us (sociopaths) into positions of power. “Rational” would mean that public policy decisions are mostly made based on evidence, rather than fundamentally irrational belief systems.

I fear that we are barely-sentient primates doomed to repeat the same awful mistakes, when simple, obvious solutions are within our grasp.

That we can build a sane, rational society.

I couldn’t read this article. It is badly a need of a spelling and grammar check.

Chopped into several large pieces. But it will be awesome.

Interesting thought - and consistent with the way he usually fails to consider the consequences of his actions (unless they apply directly to his interests).

I doubt that he cares about rebuilding US industry, Comrade. The idea of invading Canada sounds plausible, but it isn’t necessary for a successful invasion by the US military if he were to actually order that.
