Say they don't. If they can't afford to buy their own house, now those people no longer have a place to live. How is that better?

His two previous impeachments don't seem to have slowed him down, so it seems unlikely that a third would be any different. Not to mention his felony conviction.

I can't say as I'm not familiar with Preact signals, but I do know the Angular team brought on the author of SolidJS to implement signals in Angular. Though I think I remember reading at some point that Preact signals were essentially directly ported from SolidJS, so they're likely similar if nothing else. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

A good name for that could be "pragmatic perfectionism". Has a nice little alliteration and everything

I did the same and had the same suspicion. If that's actually the case, the ideas and the writing don't change, but it changes how you feel about it doesn't it? Which brings up some really interesting questions.

It made me realize that part of why I appreciated it so much was that I felt like I had some level of connection with another person who lived and learned and had shared experiences.

But on another level, it's sort of like how I see good works of fiction that really hit me emotionally and I feel real emotions for people that don't exist. My thought goes something like "this specific story isn't true, but it's true for someone, somewhere."

> you shouldn't write code until you know someone is willing to buy

This is kind of a weird line to see in a thread where people are talking about coding for the joy of the craft. Also makes me think about where we would be if everyone who contributed to OSS projects over the years thought this way. And to be clear, I'm not shunning or criticizing, having this mindset is totally fine and I'm sure it does well for you personally.

Damn, not only is this great wisdom but your writing is honestly beautiful... Are you a writer by any chance?

Any reason you're using CSV instead of parquet?

This made me laugh audibly. Thank you.

Just barely. Had the military been just a bit more indoctrinated, they may have started shooting. Which, as far as I understand, were the instructions they received. If nothing else, if the legislators weren't able to get in, this would have gone a whole other way, and the coup could easily have been successful.

While it's true that there are U.S. states where it's illegal, there are many places (maybe most?) where it's not. Presumably due to the fact that it's near impossible to prove in court unless they were giving out receipts that said "bribe for business deal" on them or something. Otherwise there's almost no scenario where you can't say "we're friends and they gave me a gift, I chose their company for the contract because I thought they were the best choice."

I think you misunderstood the parent comment. The first part reads as if you're replying to a different comment, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion based on what was said.

For the second part, they were talking about the scientific community, supporting the paper by reproducing results. Not regular Joes saying "I support this paper" or whatever, if that's what you were thinking.

Scrolling down, I see that they apparently also sell hoodies for $130USD (not including tax and shipping). Literal insanity
