How many companies need such a scale, but are not able to provide it inhouse for less money?

Everyone wants to be Netflix, but 99% of companies don't even need close to that amount of scalability. I'd argue, a significant part of projects could be run on a raspberry pi, if they'd be engineered properly.

Wait, you push to main directly? That's not exactly what "trunk based" means.

If cloning a repo is an issue, you're using CI wrong. --shallow has it's purpose.

Anyway, in my project a complete CI run including local integration tests takes about an hour. We could cut that down by running things in parallel, but we never bothered to add more runners.

I would say, if your tests hold you back, you might want to reconsider testing. Staged testing is an option, or just reevaluate whether you really need all those test cases. Many integration tests are not really testing that much, because 95% of them overlap.

Because Ryan wrote it like this 10 years ago and nobody bothered to rewrite it in C.

Back then, I'd guess most developers were relatively fluent in assembly, so if there's only a small change to make, they'd just change the assembly and move on.

You don't swallow all of the milk and thus not all of the virus particles. There's always some residue that can then start to infect you just as if you inhaled the virus.

What I'm wondering is, how many deaths are attributable to slow evacuation? Usually, you only hear about the great catastrophies where the entire plan crashes into a mountain and evacuation was never an option.

But how many accidents cause a situation where quick emergency evacuations are actually needed? I have absolutely no intuition about that.

Because the hurdles for being banned are intentionally very very high.

Oh, and the authority in question (Verfassungsschutz) had a head who's a bona fide Nazi. So the agency to protect the constitution from (right wing) extremists was led by a right wing extremist.

Be humble, understand the dangers, and have thicker skin when people tell you unpleasant truths.

Imagine saying that to a woman being catcalled.

If you don't subscribe to my kind of feminism, you're a monster anyway.

That's essentially your point.

Tell me, exactly, how I am not meant? I'm a man, men are portrayed as universally dangerous. How am I not implied here?

Thinking I'm not meant is wishful thinking. And it's extremely interesting, that suddenly I'm portrayed by you as a bad guy, because I say "hey, I'm not a bad guy, why do you call me that?". I explicitly mentioned the very real predators. But you ignored that.

And thinking like yours is exactly why there's so much hate. I don't subscribe to the party line, that men have to shut up and just have to accept that they are all potentially vile beasts, and thus I have to be one of the vile beasts. Don't you see that? Do you really don't see what you're doing here? You're creating the us vs them chasm. You're alienating people because you're just now actively accusing me of being a bad guy. And yes, it's about me, because I'm a man and this meme is about men. I'm in it. Just like you are.

And you think that's helpful?

We're not talking about an enslaved group here, but women. Yes, disadvantaged in many areas, but far from being universally inferior in every aspect. If I'm punching up, you know, who I hit? Several women. Hell, my chancellor has been a woman for literally the majority of my life.

Again, what does this achieve? Hostility of those who don't want to be put on the same level as rapists. Instead of blaming the very real predators for their very real crimes, they're blaming every man for being a man. That's not punching up.

So discrimination is okay if it hits the right people?

Again, an entire group is set out to be predators for no fault of their own.

I'm portrayed as a predator, because some idiots are, and I'm supposed to view that to reflect myself, because some other people are also treated badly? That doesn't make sense. This is purely parroting the party line, chastising oneself what an evil counterrevolutionary one is.

No positive, but tons of new hostility. Awesome. That'll take humanity in the right direction!

Then tell me: how is helping anyone?

Do you seriously believe, that this changes anything to the positive?

It's clearly ragebait, but let's be real here: the amount of accusations against men in general is astounding. Not the real, actual cases, but the implication that by virtue of being male I'm immediately accused of being a predator. And that's just shitty.

I can understand that a lot of men feel very attacked by that, because a whole lot of men just try to be good people. This kind of ragebait is harmful, because it will definitely turn a bunch of men hostile towards anything feminism, since in their view, they can only lose. And that's incredibly bad.

Communists? Immigrants? Wokeness? Jewish Space Lasers?

Basically an extended IQ test, back then this was done at the local university, probably by some psychologist.

I'm not entirely sure in how far these tests have changed over time and how different they are from adult IQ tests. I definitely remember a longer interview with someone, which isn't part of a regular test, I think.

No, I was actually in a class specifically for gifted children.

However, this was over 20 years ago and back then, this was a relatively new concept in my region. That meant the class had to be padded with "regulars" and the special treatment we got, was rather limited. Looking back, it seemed like they dropped the idea almost completely after 9th grade or so.

And even today I'm pretty sure there's no comprehensive testing going on. So a ton of smart children get labelled as having ADHD or just as delinquents if they're from a "bad" background.

Funny thing is, Germany actually did have a three tiered school system for decades, where after elementary the children were separated by "performance", but since this country is laughably bad at creating equal opportunities, this de facto became a class filter. Parents are academics? Off to the Gymnasium with you! Parents are poor/migrants? Well, Hauptschule will have to do. Good luck at being underemployed for life.

Nope, you're simply wildly exaggerating the effects of the dosage you're actually getting.

That's like saying water causes cancer, because everyone with cancer drank water at some point.

You are not getting the minimum doses needed to get from a water bottle. And again, if you're getting headaches from a water bottle, that's your imagination. Period.

I'd say the real world doesn't reward being actually gifted.

School rewards obedience and memorization. If you're aggressively mediocre, but sufficiently agreeable and willing/able to memorize a bunch of bullshit, chances are, you'll get pretty good grades. I know several people with very good grades who are simply not very intelligent.

Universities also reward memorization. If you're good at learning facts and writing bullshit like the prof wants to read it, chances are, you'll get good grades in at least some areas (business, psychology , medicine, and as a CS graduate, even CS to a frighteningly high degree).

If you're gifted (like I'm actually certified to be, whatever that means), you're often bored at school, you won't learn because you don't really need to, and you don't really want to play ball with all the bullshit. You can see through it, and especially for teenagers, that's extremely frustrating.

In the "real world" being gifted isn't really a huge benefit either. I'm good at what I'm doing and what's the result? I'm now de facto managing other people at doing what I'm good at. I can't complain, cushy job, very good pay. But a literal monkey could do 70% of my tasks. I'm inside a corporate cage, that I realistically can't escape from.

And I think that's where many of the "gifted, but neither genius nor psychopath" people are at. Overqualified for what they're doing, but caught in a system where they can't really excel in the ways they could.
