I have 20 years programming experience and C# is one of my favorite languages. It feels so expressive and doesn’t get in your way nearly as much as Java does. I feel like I’m writing the code I want to write instead of writing the code someone from 30 years ago with a fetish for boilerplate wanted me to write.

AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republican legislators (but not Democrats) who share low-credibility info get rewarded with more clicks4·3 months agoYeah, gotta watch out for that but there are underlying thought patterns that aren’t rooted in a political party. A great example is Harris’s “weird” campaign. All she did was call out Republican behavior as “weird” and it really got under their skin. Conservatives have a deathly fear of being excluded from the in-group. Calling them weird clawed at that fear and got them to react. It’s low-brow, but it worked.
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republican legislators (but not Democrats) who share low-credibility info get rewarded with more clicks10·3 months agoWhat if the left starts a propaganda campaign flooding twitter and truth social with low effort blog spam that looks like sensational low-credibility garbage but is actually factual and correct?
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump29·3 months agoWhat’s the article have to say about why the selloff is strange?
- it reflects something more ominous as President Donald Trump tries to reshape global trade: a loss of confidence in the U.S.
- Global trust and reliance on the dollar was built up over a half century or more … But it can be lost in the blink of an eye
- the dollar has fallen 9% against a basket of currencies, a rare and steep decline
- It is no longer hyperbole to say that the dollar’s reserve status and broader dominant role is at least somewhat in question
- the ballooning U.S. federal debt, which is already at a risky 120% of U.S. annual economic output … Most countries with that debt to GDP would cause a major crisis
- he will force interest rates lower to boost the economy even if doing so risks stoking runaway inflation. That is a sure fire way to get people to flee the dollar.
- This is the first step down a slippery slope where international confidence in the U.S. dollar is lost
Hm, strange indeed. It’s just happening on its own and nobody can put their finger on why. Better say it’s “strange” and not “POTUS is intentionally destroying the US’s global standing via disastrous and illegal policy”

What in the actual fuck? If I disregarded any judge’s order my ass would be in prison for contempt. But Trump gets to disregard every court up to and including SCOTUS and he’s met with a two week inquiry where nobody is going to recall a single fucking thing? The US has fallen to a dictatorship. Our little democratic experiment has concluded.
