Speaking of degradation, every time I type a character in this box the grey bar above the keyboard jumps up and down the entire page. EVERY SINGLE KEYSSTROKE. This is like example 10 in my daily life where software worked fine for decades and then suddenly shit the bed in the past 2 years.

Right which is fine. Where it veers of into absurdity is when people try and claim we are better off then the ultra wealthy of yesteryear because we have access to cellphones or transatlantic flights.

Why would an internet that only the billionaire is on be worth anything?

Also what is 100% test coverage?

If I have a function add_nums that takes 2 numbers and adds them, there are like infinite inputs that can be tested.

If I have a function shape_color that can take circle, triangle, square for the shapes and red, blue, for the colors, then there are 6 different states. But what if my function just returns if it is a circle or triangle. It only cares about 2 different color paths when it is a square. Do I test all 6 states or do I test only the 3 code paths?

I think code coverage like many things is a “it depends”.

It is done that way on purpose. The numbers are not supposed to reflect reality, they are supposed to pacify the masses.

I kid you not, ipads. That is what the rich out of touch fed officials tried to claim to a chorus of boos.

What are you talking about, a billionaire would not offer most of his money for a cellphone in 1920. There is no way you actually believe that.

Oh that is easy. He is not discussing in good faith.

The 90s is 30 years ago. You are out of touch with how things work now.

I click the upvote button and a number goes from 0 to 1. Somewhere else on the page a banner gets displayed saying you have upvotes.

Your javascript can target those 2 divs, ala doc.getElementById(counter).innerHtml and document.createElement.

Like that kind of works for simple stuff. But it gets more complicated fast. Reactivity is when your counter listens for change in the count and updates itself whenever that count changes.

If he has a meeting on a golf course and spends all that time shooting the shit that is technically working time but probably not that taxing.

If he is diving into low level details that is a different story.

Basically all his waking hours will be counted as working.

Oof, that feels so much. Bumping up against the max rec of 70.

I suspect the openness has done more harm than good. Most people didn’t know the first thing about steroids, now it is all over social media.

That is wild to me. I have been on the same low dose (30) of Vyvanse for damn near a decade now. I don’t take it on the weekends or vacation. I have zero desire to up my dose.

The grandparent who lived in the communist country that war flattened when he was a teen had 3 kids and a house on a single income 10 years later.

Me who lived in a country where war hadn’t touched its shores for centuries was unable to achieve that.

It isn’t about building up. The wealth is already here, in far greater quantities than existed in a recently war torn communist country.
