  • Not git, Perforce, but I used to have a guy on my team that would do weeks of work without checking in. 1000s of lines in 10s of files.

    I gave him shit for every code review, every time we had 1-on-1s, and while he was doing his tasks. Nothing got through to him.

    So I just kept dragging him back on check-ins. I'd nitpick the shit out of every line (and normally I hated that.) His stuff would inevitably break the build or be full of bugs anyway (duh) so I never felt bad that I was holding back his career since he was never getting things done "on time."

    If you can't/won't break your work down into smaller chunks you aren't a skilled programmer and/or don't have respect for the people you work with who have to review your shit.

  • I thought that during round 1. Going beyond it now. This is what happens if Marty and Doc fail to fix the timeline at the end of BTTF2.

  • I guess when your phones suck you need to try to compete on services.

    In any case, the headline should say "Free trials" (not OP's fault.) Useless.

  • DOGE will shut it down, right?

    ...

    Right?

  • Sounds like someone who would avoid open windows on open floors. Stay safe Mr Pocan!

  • What's the over/under on Venezuela being next?

  • How often does this happen? What is it costing your friends? Are they sneaking it to you? Are they the purveyor of the establishment?

    In any case, if you were only going to spend $5, you don't have to accept the full $20 worth of food/drink. You could say, "oh I was only planning on spending around $5 tonight, this is too much, but thanks." Or if the somewhat direct approach feels awkward, max out your tip at what you were originally going to spend. If it's not enough, they'll stop giving you so much.

  • Well it finally changed the 8th time I pressed it, so checkmate.

  • This is what I fucking said Trudeau should do.

  • Shouldn't Google and Apple go to jail for distribution?

  • I would be very surprised if there aren't a ton of calls happening right now between Trudeau and other world leaders.

    Even if it isn't about simultaneous tariffs, we need to line up allies and trade partners. Repairing relations with India and China could be top priorities. I expect more announcements over the next 48 hours...

  • “People say ‘Well, this could be just a short-term thing,’ and maybe it is, but it also could be a long-term, structural thing,” he said.

    This is ultimately my hope with all of this. We increase trade and connections with everyone else in the world and they all do as well. As it backfires(?) and brings down the US hegemony, Canada needs to be prepared to leave big brother behind and move on with our cousins and siblings from another mother.

    I think some drone factories might be in good order for Canada, too.

  • That's wishful thinking. It won't last though; production will go down and prices will go back up. And while the prices are down the producers suffer. And when production goes down there's less money in the economy and we call that a recession.

  • Canada needs to put similar tariffs on U.S. goods until the U.S. takes serious action to prevent smuggling of guns, cocaine, meth, heroin, and steroids into Canada over the Canada-U.S. border.

    In any case, I foresee fentanyl production within the U.S. skyrocketing in the next couple of years.

  • I.e. If they don't care about themselves, why would they care about anyone else or the environment around them?

  • I'm ootl. What debunks have come out?

  • I haven't heard about this? What'd he do?
