It's coming from a place of realism and facts. A place seemingly lost in the current zeitgeist.
> Quorn makes chik'n nuggets made of mycoprotein with similar nutrients to a chicken nugget,
Wrong again.

Half the protein, the nutrient profile is completely different (because it's mushroom and not chicken). No B12.
Where you getting your facts from man? It takes me actual time to refute your bullshit, the least you could do is provide evidence yourself.
Finally, Quorn is not rice is it, which is the original argument, so stop moving the goalposts and argue my original point if that's what you want to argue. If not, then you are contributing nothing of value and wasting everyone's time.

> I ate some chicken nuggets made out of rice
Do other people not see how ridiculous this is?
I partially agree with Italy's decision, at least to the naming of food.
You didn't eat chicken nuggets made out of rice. You ate deep-fried rice balls trying to simulate the taste of chicken nuggets, and they might have tasted similar to chicken nuggets, but that is an incredibly low bar to set in terms of taste (mostly spices) and texture (terrible).
The nutrient profile wouldn't have had nearly the amount of protein, vitamins or other nutrients an actual chicken nugget would have had, either.

Very cool! Hacker ethos (make a fake account to leverage sending photos), short and simple demo. Nice job

I wouldn't worry about it, we take cheap shots at French food and French people too ;)

> Now if you do inherit a larger project that you don't like, well, you either work on it or you switch jobs.
Which you wouldn't have to contemplate if your predescessor had simply used the right tool for the right job, right? Such as not using an over-engineered framework for a problem that didn't need to use one. :)
Cheers!

As you get more experienced in programming you'll inevitably inherit projects that you didn't have any say over, when that time comes come back to this comment, I'd be interested to hear if you still feel the same way.

> When you're writing a specific program, e.g. it's never going to be anything more than "Hello, world!", why would you use the fattest framework when you can write it in plain HTML?
Emphasised the parts I think you should re-read

Historically, Islamic philosophers (as they were then called) took works from the greek philosophers before them and expanded upon it. Then a few other philosphers who did not like people learning from non-muslims leaned hard into fundamentalism and you now have the kind of Islam (Salafist/Wahhabism) that exists today, e.g. Saudi Arabia
The Mongols opened the door to fundamentalism, but it didn't have to go that way. The sack of Baghdad is a simplification
Read up on Al Ghazali, it is eye-opening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ghazali

And yet they are routinely used to solve "simple hello world" apps. Riddle me that.

"You don't agree with me so I'll throw my toys out of the pram"
Come off it, debate is debate, you're trying to come to a conclusion, but for that to happen your mind needs to be open to the possibility that you are wrong, can you do that? If not, then yes, debating is not worth the effort.

Yes, it really is odd, I couldn't figure it out so switched back to zsh.
The specific issue was to do with a script we had to run to gain ssh access to an internal network. I can't post the script, but it was related to openssh.
Even logging into bash and running the script didn't work, I had to remove all fish binaries, symlinks, etc and set my shell to bash/zsh. Maybe it was an issue with how I installed fish, but yeah like I said, very strange, but I can vouch that I've encountered a similar issue before
It's a real shame because I think the fish syntax alone is worth the switch, for my personal machine(s) I use it.
Edit: this was years ago now, about 4 years, maybe the issue doesn't exist anymore but it caused me a bit of grief at the time (beacuse I didn't know it was related to using fish!), I've not since tried it again. I might try again and get back to this thread
