  • Even if we completely ignore the overhead involved in buying and selling property, moving is expensive, stressful and completely upends your life. Expecting new parents to move every time they need more room, or even worse, forcing grieving parents to move because no longer “need” the space is ridiculous. If we aren’t complete monsters about people only having exactly the amount of space that they need at any given moment means that there will have to be a number of people with surplus space at any given moment. And at any given moment there will also be a number of people who need a place to stay, but may not plan on staying in that one place long enough to make it worth “buying” somewhere to live. So, I don’t see how you can stop people from letting others who need a place to live from living with them. So landlords have always existed and always will.
    On the same note there’s no way to stop 2 people with similar goals from helping each other, so companies will also exist whether you want them to or not.


  • You are correct, our privileges and opportunities have to be paid for. Things like governments, taxes, companies, and landlords have to exist. Even insurance is a great thing. The problem right now is how all of that is currently implemented in the US.
    People do fear for their lives. Get sick and your entire family can end up homeless. Cops are murdering innocent people left and right. People are working multiple jobs and still starving. They are living out of their cars, so they do not have easy access to clean water, baths, clean clothes, ECT. All while, the very government we are all paying to protect us has been taken over by people looking to use it against us.




  • Someone built a shortcut to a job hunting site into the OS itself. Someone who works on the OS and for the company that made the OS. I can’t think of any greater advertisement that working for Microsoft is awful than the cry for help that is building a permanent link to a job hunting website.







  • Dude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

    for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

    for (const num of numbers) {}.

    for (const num in numbers) {}.

    this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

    Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

    That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

    Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

    bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done

    dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

    Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.


  • As a senior programmer I can’t write a for loop without the internet.
    I can’t remember the last time I saw a job listing that didn’t expect me to be an expert in at least 5 languages. The best part is that halfway through the interview you learn that they are no longer using half the languages listed, and are “transitioning” towards 2 others that aren’t even listed. You want me to whip out examples written in Fortran, C++, Rust, JS, and some random word you claim is a language in 2 hrs without the internet? Bitch, I don’t even think I could get prewritten “Hello World” examples compiled in 5 different languages in 2 hrs, much less on machine that I have never seen before.
