Ah yes, dangerous gender transition. This seems like a rather biased source.

Just finished Batman: The Killing Joke for the first time, and wow. Vapid and grossly misogynistic in so many ways for the sake of shock value pretty much sums it up

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, the obvious ambiguity of the word free in the context of software doomed the movement from ever spreading to the mainstream. Not a single non-technical person I've ever met really appreciated the phrase or its importance even after explanation, and the movement is older than I am.

Wholeheartedly agree re: ethical startups though. #WorkerOwnedCollectives need to become the norm.

I can agree that faith can be a salve as much as it can be a drug. I prefer to think of myself in a style of a scientist honestly, and scientific methodology is really only concerned with what can be explicitly and demonstrably disproved; god is indeed something that cannot be disproved. Before I settled on a career in programming, I wanted to research the effects of spiritual belief on a person's psychology, so the distinction is important to me.

I'm glad I got to be a part of a new word for you!

@kashi
I'm not sure I agree or disagree. I can't quite articulate what isn't sitting well with me about either part of the argument. To be transparent, my own faith is in a divinity inherit to life, and general belief that if a demiurge exists, the nature of creation required it to seal itself from this universe.

To be further transparent, I don't understand popular atheism very well. Much of what I've seen appears aggressively self-important and more concerned with historical misuse of power than actual theology.

Heyyy, I just remembered this and had to leave my job recently. What kind of time frame is your team looking at?

Feeling like publishing an npm package for a custom React hook to set up IntersectionObserver on arbitrary nodes. I'd be cribbing the implementation from a Medium article but the unit testing could be fun.

Google might be a soulless corporation with individual employees capable of locking me out of every part of my phone if they think it necessary, but it's nice that the first time I tried it on Gboard, it knew that after the second consecutive "alright," the correct prediction is "alright" regardless of how many times it's repeated

That crushing moment when

I keep my Facebook profile read only to the public because anything else is a farce, so if you see me talking out of my ass about cryptography there, feel free to correct me about it here. My goal is to explain basic concepts for the typical end user but neither am I a bona fide expert, so anything I write is bound to be inaccurate because of flaws in my understanding as well as inaccurate because of my intended audience

I've embraced being the technological doomsayer for my Facebook friends and now I'm going to scream at them about how cryptography works so maybe my tiny part of the world will have a better understanding of how fucked our dystopia is
