what he's really saying is you won't be able to vote anymore

I used uGet on windows, and it was fairly smooth. Not google, but an equally annoying large download. I believe it's on Linux as well.

You're assuming they care about keeping their corruption hidden. They want absolute power! Who cares if the people know the system is corrupt if there's nothing they can do about it. Most dems are already aware that this is a fight for democracy itself, and the reps will just say they're "using the corruption to their advantage so they can fix it" or something.

The strategy you've outlined relies too heavily on their winning the election fairly. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, but it's far from a sure bet.

And you think think Christo-fascists aren't into all that because...

Who's trying to make friends? Burn them at the fucking stake, I say!

Yes and no. I agree that camel vs snake or that stupid mNameThing that was popular for a while, doesn't reeeeeaaally matter, although I would argue that convention over the language still has value. As an example, naming a Java variable with a capital letter would be confusing and annoying to any new devs joining the project, even if it's a valid identifier. Also it's handy to be able to look at something in ALL_CAPS and know that it's probably a static final, without having to check it's definition. I guess it's about finding that line between useful conventions and pedantry.

Dear god please no. This way madness lies. Your idea of "whatever you think works best" is not going to line up with whatever the next person that comes along thinks, and your codebase is about to get all kinds of fucked up.

Thinking code complete is going to save you is naive. Even in languages like C and Java, where it works best, you still need to be able to read and understand the code in context. There's no hope in a language like Ruby with all it's meta programming stuff

Cool! I'll get started on building Snowpiercer then

Now we're scraping the bottom Quark of the barrel?

(Come on, someone do better than this please, this was terrible!)

Is this so you can yell "DOWN QUARK" when he jumps up on the sofa?

"Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass"

I... partially agree? There's a bit of a difference between the targeted tracking a private individual does with an airtag, vs the generalized, but equally creepy tracking google/apple/others do through widespread tech. One definitely poses a greater short term risk than the other
