Ah, if I understand this explanation right, the blob's purpose is to do things and stuff. Is that correct?

OP read about the "fight the biggest baddest dude you can find on your first day" strat online and didn't stop to think about its applicability.

Plenty of brands stopped offering manual variants of plenty of models. IIRC BMW practically begged people to stop asking for manual variants, saying it just does not make any sense to mess with the supply chain and the production line and the car itself just to put an objectively inferior transmission inside it.

Sir please it's not break dancing, it's breaking. IOC insists on using the latter, because they are desperately trying to convince people that it's a sport and the dance in the name makes that more difficult.

At first I thought break dancing was a stupid sport to include in the Olympics. The I figured if those hoop throwing and ribbon twirling stuff can be Olympic sports, why can't break dancing? It certainly has plenty of athleticism in it. More than many other sports in fact.

I still think the overly hip-hop-y style looks weird in the context of Olympics though. Contestants with funky nicknames, and presenters waving their arms while grabbing their crotch like it's a rap concert don't scream "prestigious international event that involves thousands of top tier athletes" to me. Though I guess it might be because I'm not used to it.

This. Everyone knows that windows is a perfectly safe and secure environment with no exploits and vulnerabilities whatsoever.

Ad blockers don't protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.

Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren't there before. All in a good night's work.

This still smells though. Why is the raw, plain text password string getting anywhere near database queries in the first place?

Also important, will it be available and affordable. I don't much care about arm laptops if they cost an arm (heh) and a leg to buy and then a couple fingers to import into the mythical and exotic land of not-US.

The only true artist is Ooonga Baloonga, who invented art when he drew something roughly resembling an animal on a random cave wall 6 bajillion years ago. Everything since then is derivative bullshit, lifeless imitations of his unique vision.

I stopped doing frontend work when responsive design became important. Super unpleasant work. Now I'm happier at the backend where I don't have to worry about how my shit looks on the 7 million possible screen sizes people are likely to use. Life is more peaceful here.

Lmao yoavweiss seems to have recently broken the 4 year hiatus on his personal blog to make a new post about how the discussions around this retarded proposal are not constructive enough.

The most constructive that can ever be said about this is "fuck right off" dude.
