It’s far from cut and dry, and there are multiple schools of thought and conflicting interpretations. Steven Hijmans is a revisionist. Traditionally, it’s indeed believed that it was originally a pagan holiday in celebration of Sol Invictus.
Steven Hijmans presents an alternative interpretation of the various texts that challenges this understanding. He may or may not be correct, but nevertheless, one should not assume that his views reflect a consensus among historians.
The best is trying to change the styling of page-builder plugins that shove their css god-knows-where in the Frankenstein’s monster that is the WordPress database schema.
I’m so glad that I’m a million miles from WordPress now. I’m convinced it’s propped up entirely by contractors and ad agencies with minimal to no understanding of how to actually build software and just build on a mountain of hacks to do anything at all.
The people doing software engineering without such a degree in the US are definitely in the minority, so there’s not much point to the hand-wringing generally speaking.
Not sure why you’re out here defending hugely unpopular behavior.
People arguing for it just care about eliminating the change. The direction doesn’t really matter. The total amount of daylight remains the same.
Yeah, it’s pretty fucking insane the things people are taking on debt for. I genuinely can’t understand it. I mean, I know we live in a society that’s pretty fucked from capitalism and inequality and stuff isn’t easy, but it is common sense to avoid debt as much as possible. Do they just think the money is free?
JFC I will definitely stay the fuck away from whatever garbage this is.
Ah could be hardware/OS, yeah. I believe everyone at our company are on MacBooks (I’m a Linux guy myself, but orgs don’t usually like that).
My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and while I like it for various reasons, it has had plenty of problems with the built-in mic and video (mostly the mic). So it very well could be that.
We have like 250, mostly remote and on Slack all the time. There’s the occasional hiccup here and there, but generally it’s pretty seamless.
I’ve personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.
Probably.
Pretty sure that would go a long way in Austin.
Incidentally, also terrorist-supporrinf organizations.
Oh I’m sure, wasn’t saying otherwise. The whole thing is a joke.
I believe it’s saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.
I actually tend to drop off my mail ballots at the local library drop box.
Yeah our corporate machines won’t run any external media. I assumed that was standard practice.
The typical “30% on income” advice is based on gross, not net. Which is about 93,000 a year for the median mortgage payment right now.
Homeschooling doesn’t automatically mean child abuse. I was homeschooled and knew a lot of homeschooled kids, and none of us were ever abused.
A child abuser will abuse children and good people don’t. It’s as simple as that.
I don’t think you’ve paid enough attention. Back when ChatGPT first launched, they were treated as saints.
The negative opinions have corresponded with public sentiment souring towards them in general (this did happen quite quickly, however).
