> Pretty cool of you to share your experiences bladegash. I always thought they wouldn't let people with mental health conditions into those environments. Shows what I know. Some m…

Yep, my thoughts as well. And I say this as someone who not only has a chronic mental health disorder that sometimes manifests as paranoia, but someone who used to work in the IC f…

Small correction, but there are actually four states (CA being one of them) where you can avoid law school by what is called “reading the law”. It entails more or less doing an app…

To clarify, it doesn’t create a commit and is only usable within actions. I have always used the GH action VSCode extension for it, but I believe from the API, you would call the b…

Unrelated, but another interesting one is any non-admin contributors being able to add (and I believe update) secrets in a private repo for use in GH actions. It can’t be done via …

I don’t think correlation = causation in your anecdote. Care to provide some examples of people who were “cured” of Crohns through diet alone? I have had Crohns for nearly four yea…

You hit the nail on the head, but think aside from information being more accessible to analyze/share when it isn’t classified/there isn’t a need to protect sensitive sources and m…

I guess I was more including Usenet as a part of the progression, not necessarily categorizing as a BBS. Fair enough on the notice two, but I think people (or at least I) more gene…

Funny enough, BBSs were the way many of the players on WoW servers pre-cross realm would communicate/flame each other outside the actual game. When I started online gaming with an …

Ah, gotcha, thank you for clarifying. That makes much more sense and I think it is a fair correlation to draw!

I am not sure what your point is? They are two very distinct and independent animation studios, which OP seemed to be aware of.

Huh? Disney Animation Studios (not Pixar) has made three movies in the last ten years that are among the highest grossing movies of all time (Frozen, Zootopia, and Frozen II). In t…

I am not sure that I agree life is quite as black and white to where that maxim can always hold true. I think we can agree that intent/means used to achieve an outcome certainly do…

Certainly a fair point on mindset and I’m sure it will vary depending on where you work. I generally agree with you, but wonder if the viewpoints we each described are not mutually…

Having had worked in DC much of my career, more specifically within the IC, I think more likely they believe in a general utilitarian philosophy that “the ends justify the means”. …

Otherwise known as lying. IMO, lying crosses the line to “gaslighting” when the intent is to make the person feel as though their perception is wrong or they’re going crazy. Think …

Are you planning to be equivalent in notoriety/influence as Martin Luther King Jr? If not, the motivation/incentives for domestic law enforcement to target you aren’t really there.…

Why can’t they? Sure, they can’t just call up the FBI or other US law enforcement agencies and refer the matter. However, they can absolutely use the threat of disclosure of sensit…

Of course, and you are right on many/most accounts. However, it is worth mentioning that it is definitely a dangerous game to play, even if the government doesn’t do anything. Gove…

There is a bit more to the requirement than the company being owned by a woman, namely the requirements for women to be in control of the day to day operations of the business. It …

Hah, slightly off topic, but I was there from 09-10 and remember that same journey from MCBH -> Manas -> Leatherneck -> COP -> Patrol Base. I honestly think Leatherneck may have be…

Not who you responded to, but trust me, I would if I could still use Vue professionally to where I could justify the time in my work and/or personal projects. I was a huge fan of V…

Yep, same! I will say, getting everything playing nicely in terms of TypeScript, ESM, CJS, etc. was a bit challenging on the first go around, but isn’t the fault of Vite (at least …

Really enjoy working with Vite and it works great with React (many think it’s geared towards Vue, which perhaps it was at one point). Made the switch after some frustrating behavio…

Used to play an awesome online tank game in the late 90s called Tanarus. It was also built by Verant Interactive and rumor had it was a test bed for developing EQ’s eventual net co…
