Its more like "TCP might be here to stay" since Open Source basically ate most of the software world already and has definitely cemented itself as essential infrastructure in our world.
David Snowden does/did a lot of talks about these, how hard rules break catastrophically and you need systems of constraints with flexible rules which have rules baked in about when and how you can break the rules.
Worth looking up the talks they have on youtube. Just be prepared to hear the same few anecdotes 50 times.
> Comments is a self-admission you failed to write readable code, and you can fix your failure by refactoring code into self-descriptive member functions
# This is not the way I wanted to do this, but due to bug #12345 in dependency [URL to github ticket] we're forced to work around that.
# TODO FIXME when above is done.
Oh no, I so failed at making self-descriptive code. I'm sorry, I totally should've named the method DoThisAndTHatButAlsoIncludeAnUglyHackBecauseSomeDubfuckUpstreamShippedWithABug.
But the economy is doing so well guys, don't worry about the real inflation numbers being nearly 40-50% in the last 5 years or so. Lines go up, things good.
CPI is absolute bullshit. They silently keep adjusting the way they measure it and by some profound convience to them the adjustments always end up with a lower inflation.
Butter's now nearly twice as expensive. I'm paying twice as much to heat my house as I'd have paid 5 years ago. Bread went up over 30 percent during the war. Many product skyrocketed during covid and never came back down.
The CPI and other similar measures are government lies to keep the peace.

These are great examples, but I wonder if they're not actually too low.
What we really need is some kind of list (a basket, if you will) of things like this, and then periodically we can check with stores all over the country and ask them how much these things are.
Then we won't have to rely on the CPI bullshit and we'll know exactly how bad the true inflation really is!
Purportedly the Netherlands, but the research was badly performed.
KNOWN PFAS contamination was around heavy industry, and yeah, if you live near those regions, maybe don't. Otherwise proceed with scepticism and/or some testing.
Fairly recent research claims that hobby (backyard) chickens tend to have higher PFAS contamination than factory farmed chickens because hobby chickens get the chance to eat (a lot of) rain worms whereas the factory farmed chickens only get commercial food, no live worms. I do agree that location is almost undoubtedly key to PFAS contamination rates.
> - Can’t eat the eggs This isn’t necessarily a chicken problem but mostly a problem with chemical industry. We’ve had a lot of PFOA/PFAS contamination and public health advise says to not eat eggs from backyard chickens
The research done was mid at best. They just went "oh yeah there was huge variance in the hobby chicken PFAS data so we took the average". Most of the hobby eggs had little to no PFAS in them.
Furthermore, because of privacy laws, they weren't allowed to know where the eggs came from. They say they found no correlation between PFAS contaminations in eggs and known high PFAS areas but that's actual bullshit if you can't look at location data.
It's absolutely attrocious they were allowed to publish like this and that no one called them on their bullshit.
Overall, unless you are in a place where you know you have high PFAS concentrations, it's most likely fine? You could send off a few eggs for testing to make sure, that's a 200 euro test or something. Do that once per year just to make sure and you should be OK.
> How does she progress in two short paragraphs from dissing her ex-husband to dissing an entire gender, and turns that into both a complaint about relationships and the workplace, not just for her but for most working women?
Because it's in vogue. We as a society have deluded ourselves into believing that certain things (being able to talk about your emotions, constant positive affirmations) are at the same time both vitally necessary to life and that without it life is incomplete, as well as that doing this for your family is somehow a huge burden to the point where it needs to be described as labor.
> (Also, I don't get this emerging narrative that men interacting with OnlyFans cammers is necessarily pathetic, but middle-class professional women interacting with AI boyfriends/girlfriends is necessarily brave and empowered and avant-garde.)
For the same reason that men's singleness is ascribed to them being horrible people who deserve their lot in life, while women being single is an empowered choice.

Which is? Genuinely asking because I have no idea what that reason is and I’m not sure if this is just a case of me being clueless—always an option—or cultural differences.
It is in vogue to be horrible to men as a sex because of some deluded belief that we have power and privilege over women.
It's also something you mostly see, incidentally, in the terminally online. People with actual lives and life experience know better.
Cmon don't be dense. It's called misandry. Mostly in the form of direct verbal abuse, unrealistic contradictory expectations, denial of being recognized as a victim of abuse and "damned if you, damned if you don't" situations that set you up for failure or as the aggressor no matter what you do.
It's kind of sad that it has come to this. It leaves very little room for men who want to have a positive impact on society.
Because they are typically highly suggestible, unsure of themselves and excellent at retrofitting justifications onto events. Single? Must be a choice because she's an Independent Woman.
I feel sorry for society. One generation grew up with Arnold Schwarzzeneger, the next with Billy Elliot. And women have been brainwashed with other bollocks.
The girls I know want to date a masculine guy and can't find many. No wonder marriages are failing and birth rates are falling. And that's before you get to economic reasons.
I literally had a girl cry in my arms the other night while whimpering "I'm a single, independent woman". You couldn't make it up.
This is the fucking developer equivalent of "fusion energy is a decade away"
