Yeah we’re the freest state in the union as long as your chosen freedom conforms with the Republican agenda.

I guess I don’t see the difference. If you are warning someone with a gun, the warning is that they willl use the gun. Legally that might not always be “terrorism” but the effect is the same so seems like we call it what it is.

I understand I might not be asking the right person but what’s the difference between terrorism and a warning when it involves deadly force?

I’m confused. Did I miss understand your wording?

100 - 77 = 23; 23% < 33%

77 - 10 = 67 point lead

Admittedly the way we talk about a “point lead” is confusing and it’s always useful to look at what the real numbers are and what they actually mean.

True. But that is based in logic and the assumption that laws follow strict “rules” and well…

I think you got my point without getting my point.

Bidens Trump’s kryptonite. He can’t stop talking about the guy. This donald dump stuff is perfect. He needs to stay on the trail and keep Trump off message campaigning against the wrong candidate.

Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn’t want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.

Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

And a lot of science libraries.

I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.

Right?

Ha yeah “Sr dev” was never seen again, the team member stuck around for quite a few more years.

“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.

Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?

Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.

Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.

After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”

The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.

The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let’s you turn it on or off.

I don’t know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they’ve made significant battery life improvements.

The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I’m using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it’s not on so that’s probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.

There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.

So privacy dead? No it’s basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.

I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.

So using react will get you fired? I knew it!

I’m ashamed… It’s simply “bump deps”

Did I also touch some code and tests connected to dependency updates. Yes.

Did I document any of that? No.

Did I spend more time writing this comment the thinking about the commit. Most definitely.

Will I be bisecting to this commit after our next deploy and cursing at myself? Probably.

It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I’ve learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.

It’s a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say “I can change that but it’s not a bug. It’s what was requested for this to do last year. Here’s the discussion” It’s surprising how often that results in “Oh yeah, that was for x. Let’s not touch it.” Or “oh that’s not a quick fix, let me come back with more information” etc
