It's realer than vine coding.

Honestly I don't think it's any of our business. Even rich assholes are allowed to have a private life. Although with some (Musk, Trump) that private life is so fucked up it's impossible to ignore, but generally I'm totally fine with not knowing who they fuck.

If it's going to happen anyway, they might as well claim political credit for the thing they used to oppose, right?

Michelle Obama is not the woman I'm looking at to run. In fact, having launching the political careers if spouses and other family members on the political success of a family member is a terrible idea. This is the main reason why I thought having Hillary Clinton run for president was a bad idea, and I opposed Jeb Bush for the same reason (though I'd vastly preferred either over Trump).

Though I'm aware political dynasties in the US have a history going back all the way to the Adamses.

That's just a "the stockmarket can't possibly be wrong" argument, but the stockmarket has often been wrong.

Tesla is overvalued. That's blatantly obvious if you look at the data. There's no justification for Tesla's insane market cap other than hype or corruption.

Did you not understand the Corolla/Lamborghini example?

I do, but I wonder if you do. Toyota is far, far more valuable than Lamborghini. Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world, and with a market cap of $269B, the second most valuable after Tesla.

Lamborghini is not independent, but owned by Volkswagen, as part of their Audi group, and all of those brands put together have a market cap of $58B.

Your argument is not a justification for Tesla's high market value; quite the opposite.

There's more to a car than speed, and Teslas aren't Lamborghinis. They were exciting when they were new, but they've always had quality issues. Toyota produces more reliable cars. And more cars. There's no perspective from which Tesla's valuation makes sense.

Oh, I'm very good at avoiding games like that.

Never heard of Rust, but it sounds like something I can afford to ignore.

OS shouldn't even matter to prevent cheating; do your anticheat validation server side. Anyone who knows anything about security knows the client side can never be trusted.

I can live without documentation and comments, but then you've got to write really well-structured, self-documenting code. Which means long variable names (or better: local constants) that describe exactly what's in them, and function names that describe clearly what the function is for, and readable code that shows what it does.

But perhaps expecting that kind of discipline from people who lack the discipline to write documentation, was not entirely realistic.

Zero tolerance? Except for deepfake porn, apparently.

The parents should sue the school for tolerating that.

A progressive revolution by force isn't going to work if you don't have a progressive majority. If you're waging a civil war, it's a toss up who will win. But if you do have a majority, you can also just vote more progressives into power.

Either way, you're going to have to convince a lot of people to join your side. That's the first step: awareness, protests. And the recent election victories show that it's working. Keep building this so you win all the seats in the midterms.

The system I'm working on is shit. The devs all know it, the users all complain about it. It needs to be fixed, and not only do I seem to be the person most driven to fix it, it turns out I've been hired explicitly to replace the shittiest part of it. So that's actually pretty good, right?

Except my PO doesn't quite want me to do that yet. First, he needs me to shovel more shit onto it. Shit that's going to be the first stuff that I'll replace once I get to replace stuff, and then that stuff will be a lot easier, whereas now it would be a lot harder and too slow to be useable. But new features are more important than making this useable.

He's a nice guy, but he doesn't get technical priorities, and priorities are the primary responsibility for a PO.
