The most significant change, imo, in programming language design over the last ~20 years is moving from "accept as much as possible" to "make good choices".
and all the hate to the boomers who consider that a bad idea.

A single caveat: I don’t think the decision to align such, in the US and abroad, was ever explicitly made, but rather all believed their actions were expected of them. Just like they did in 2018. I’d say we call them captains of industry and not admirals for a reason.
Banger alert.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

My license just renewed, so a good reminder to rec (again) this career saving software for those of you who like me, are both macOS users and are good at ignoring their notifications: a small program that blocks the whole screen when a meeting starts, making it harder to ignore it.
In Your Face - The meeting reminder app
An app for Apple macOS that helps you being on time for meetings. It interrupts your workflow by blocking your screen when it is time to go to the meeting.

This is how you make sure I never step into a Target.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

I don't know NYC's demographics, but in San Francisco the Chinese population is approximately 1/3 of the vote. That means it can really make a difference for a local candidate to show the kind of respect and thoughtfulness it requires to design a powerful, not obvious Chinese name.
