  • Actually? I don't know much about that legislation. Does it really not have room built-in for tech improvements?

  • I was only responding to the idea that no one should ever use NodeJS, as it's good as a web server.

    A Honda Civic is a great car for what it's built for and people know how to drive it. But I wouldn't use it to haul gravel or drive the Indy 500.

  • Node.js is a fantastic tool for web servers. Its event loop allows it to rival much lower-level languages in performance while remaining easy to write and maintain. JavaScript has been the most popular programming language for nearly a decade.

  • Agreed. But those that do know COBOL make BANK maintaining the old financial systems!

  • Am I misunderstanding something? That's what I would expect to see from any search engine when you search for "vaccines" and "news from the right".

  • What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?

    Jump

  • Like stoly said above, I think programmers are probably slightly above average intelligence overall, so don't sell yourself short there. But yeah. We're not geniuses

  • This is very fair. Math has always come fairly easily to me. So math intuition plays a part in my interest and ability to learn to program.

    I think most people, even smart people, assume they couldn't do it though because I'm some kind of genius, which only a few programmers actually are.

  • That there's something inherently special about me that makes me able to program....

    ... Yes...patience and interest.

  • Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I bet it's just easier and cheaper for them to not bother securing their fob radio.

    To be clear, I'm saying they should get their shit together as a company, because it's clearly not a hard thing to fix.

  • I work for a company of under 100 employees in a small city. Our head IT guy bought a Flipper Zero with his own money so he could make sure our building key fobs couldn't be easily copied.

    If this guy can do it, I think the bajillion dollar auto industry can figure out a solution!

  • Honestly they just need an enemy to distract from real potential solutions because solutions are hard. They did the same thing with firearms.

    What an asshat indeed.

  • Canada's Population Just Grew The Most Since Confederation... Where Will Everyone Live?

    Jump

  • This is a really important point. I've already seen this when talking with people. And it's also really hard to differentiate the "immigration is good in moderation" sentiment from the "immigrants are ruining the country" sentiment.

    Because in the proper numbers, immigration keeps our country alive by filling in gaps and growing the economy. But if the numbers are too high, we have more competition for work and housing and all our other economic resources.

    I think nowadays the narrative is seems to be "immigration is always good and if you say otherwise you're a bigot". But we should certainly make sure we are intentional about how many people we bring in because we want our country to be the best it can be for everyone in it and everyone entering it.

  • I'm not surprised. I got shingles as a healthy man in my 20s. I was told it was likely related to having COVID a few months before, because of how it harms your immune system.

  • There are many solutions proposed by firearms rights activists to problems of violence and crime. If you're interested, check out gundebate.ca

    I'm not sure what handgun data you're talking about, but it's common for Canadians to misunderstand the state of firearms in Canada. Since handguns are restricted firearms, they're registered. This means we know every time one of them turns up at a crime scene and the registered owner is charged. And this simply doesn't happen. These handguns are not being used in crimes. So banning legal sale of handguns will change nothing regarding crime.

    I want to do something about violence in our country too. I just want us to do something that will actually work because those involved are actually educated on the issue.
