Trying to beat up someone holding a machete may not be the brightest idea

Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population?

lacking multi-generational connections is still a pretty rosy picture of disadvantage. Statistically “unmeritorious” parents are far more likely to have their child suffer from malnutrition due to lack of money and neglect due to the parents working 2 jobs or having substance abuse issues. If the country has private schools, they won’t have access to them and due to living in a low-wealth area their public schools will have a disproportionately high amount of other neglected and abused kids which makes everything harder.

yeah that’s not good, may get you prosecuted under “material support” laws

pretty simple. [the video site] sees how popular tiktok is and wants to get a slice of that “short format” pie. It incentivizes content creators to make content that fits the format by promoting it on the algorithm. If there is a shortage of content in that format (and for that type of audience), anything semi-decent will do, eg. highlights from longer videos. As the algorithm needs to fill that quota of videos somehow

they’re talking about a wooden splinter stuck in a hand… but I’m still not getting the joke

libertarians: “the increase in global quality of life is all because of capitalism!”

communists: “the increase in global quality of life is all because of communism!”

Rules of thumb can be very useful for a relatively inexperienced programmer, and once you understand why they exist you can choose to ignore them when they would get in the way. Clean Code is totally unhinged though

because the goal of tamper resistance is to make it harder to unscrew without apple’s approval

the environment or operating system will ultimately have to use a sorting algorithm with a normal time complexity to determine the order of events (or it can give up and sort them incorrectly once the time resolution is not high enough)

This description could be anyone.

CIA assassination is the leading cause of death worldwide

that’s based entirely on 4chan’s advertising demographic claims which I’m not sure if they should be given much credence given there is no information at all about how it was determined.

Also the statistic is at least 10 years old without being updated, and could even be much older
