More competition is better than less.

I don't understand the personal attack and victim blaming here. Who wouldn't want to do anything in their power to seek justice after being harmed?

The hit piece you claimed as "mild" accused Scott of hypocrisy, discrimination, prejudice, insecurity, ego, and gatekeeping.

I think OP could be just as astute as you meant. They probably know that Altman is engaging in marketing, but still tried to make a case that it shouldn't be a good strategy and instead illustrates his character. Not that I disagree, as people could see the unnecessary drama as a sign of immature behavior and a negative net result in the long term, regardless if it generates press today. As many other commenters remarked, they will from now think twice about trusting Altman's ventures in the future in light of this long-winded tweet.

Maybe because OP likes images that were actually taken and stock images are fine that way. Different people can have different preferences.

Of course, I don't disagree with you. But OP tried to refute the fact in their parent comment that using adblock is generally better than relying on browser's pop-up blocking. However, adblock does no worse than pop-up blocking in the specific case of non-window pop-ups, making it irrelevant in the context.

And I agree that these types of ads remain a hard to solve problem today.

Nor will pop-up blocking I'm afraid.

> Here’s a quick test. Try to find the function definition here

It's funny that in the first example where the author asked the viewers to find the function definition, I was able to do so faster with the colorful syntax highlighting he considered wrong.

To recognize different elements of code is more than just colors, but actual syntaxes of the language and the general shapes of code blocks.

It's a matter of taste, and in my decades of programming, I've found colleagues and many teams trying for all kinds of fancy themes only to come back with a "boring" one, like Material Theme, which is also my main driver nowadays.

I think the author had some good ideas, particularly around literals (what he called constants), rejection of the requirement for equal brightness, and emphasizing comments. The author is more than welcome to bring his version of perfect syntax highlighting to the market of ideas. Its adoption should prove it if his idea wins.

It's also good practice to always clean thoroughly with soap after each toilet session, except where it's impossible like a public restroom.

Main heading of an article

The United States has a lot of unique traits that few other countries have (American exceptionalism), birthright citizenship being just one characteristic. I'd think an executive order is just testing the water, but to change it definitively requires a constitutional amendment.

In any angle of view, those people are clearly subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
