Comment California mismanages everything (Score 2, Interesting) 271

California mismanages their forests, actively suppressing all fires while preventing reasonable harvests, allowing huge build ups of dry dead wood, they mismanage their electricity generation capacity, and they mismanage their water resources, all combining to cause this catastrophe, but it's all the fault of cow farts and SUVs in the rest of the country? Sure. Right. Uh-huh.

Let California burn.

Comment Like blaming the cop for not enforcing a (Score 1) 106

Like blaming the cop for not enforcing a law that doesn't exist, just because you think it should be the law.

"you-did-this dept"? Really?

He stopped wasting our time and money defending lawsuits they were going to lose anyway. If the law doesn't allow them to regulate it, the law doesn't allow them to regulate it, and no amount of screeching is going to change that.

If you think the FCC should have the authority to regulate intrastate calls, then lobby Congress to make that happen.

Again with the city focused thinking. I don't sit in traffic and I despise sitting in traffic, which I why I don't live anywhere near a big city. My daily commute is about 30 miles and I do it in about 30 minutes. My normal route has 5 stop signs which I can usually roll throw and 3 stop lights where I frequently enough don't have to stop at all. It's very rare that I spend more than 3 or 4 minutes of my commute at a stop.

You people have never experience life outside your big cities so you don't understand what life is like for those of us who don't live there.

We like our lifestyle. Cars are required to support the lifestyle we prefer. Without a car, I wouldn't be able to live on several sprawling acres in the middle of farm fields, which is what I want.

We don't want to live packed check by jowl like hogs in a confined feeding operation. If you're into that, feel free but don't tell us we should join you.

So you admit you're the problem. The names of that struct and its members are really shitty. They tell very little about what they actually are, how they're used, or why they're needed. Most of the time, you really don't give a fuck that the IP address is stored in a uint32_t, you care that it's an IP address.

You can't hear me because you don't want to. If you listened to someone else, that would be admitting you're not God's gift to programming and you don't know everything. You know why the text books say that stuff? Because it's the truth and people who actually follow that advice have way more success with way less trouble than dumb fucks like you who just want to feel super-smart, special, and precious. People like you are the problem.

The name of the variable should tell you what it is. Most of the time, you shouldn't need to directly know what type is used to implement a variable. customer_list is obviously not an int or a float and customer_list_index is pretty obviously an integer type.

If you're writing complex code, you are the problem. I've written a number of very large programs in C++ and I would not describe any of them as "complex code". My job as a programmer is to dissect what seems to be a complex problem into its simple component problems, write simple code that solves those problems, and combine that code in simple, obvious ways that solves the original problem.

Leftists/progressives/'liberals'/whatever you want to call them are masters of projection. What they are, the say conservatives are. What they do, they say conservatives do.

Our current shining example is how they're reacting to what Joe Biden did to Tara Reade as compared to how they reacted when Blasey-Ford falsely accused Brett Kavanaugh. "Believe all women", my ass.
