Spoiler Etiquette: How Long Do You Need To Wait To Talk About Shows and Movies? [Survey]
  • That’s a really dumb rule. Some people wait for the show to end so you avoid a game of thrones situation. You can be incredibly interested in a show but not willing to watch it because it will end up being a waste of time.

  • Spain proposes 100% tax on homes bought by non-EU residents
  • Didn’t they just have a government program to sell houses in certain cities to foreigners for 1€ because nobody in their cities would buy them? Only under the condition that they had to fix them up in a certain time period?

    I honestly don't understand how people socialise and make friends though gaming
  • So it seems like you don’t like games that involve other people but are then surprised when people meet others by playing games that involve other people. Making friends requires two things:

    1. Talking to other people
    2. Sharing a connection

    You seemingly don’t want to do the first, and for the second you complain that the app is terrible and the people are weird/cringe and that the game is secondary to them.

    Just to let you know, number two in my list is about a connection. Connections are not something you talk about 100% of the time, that makes it an obsession. Obsessions are fine to have but don’t expect to make long term friends that way. Connections are what bring us together and then commonalities allow us to stay friends. The reason people are talking about things other than whatever game you’re playing is because that’s what friends do. The game is the initial connection and then talking about that and getting off topic onto other subjects forges the friendships.

  • A discussion post (and request for suggestions) regarding Vaccination
  • I want to hear about studies, how many studies, how large the sample sizes were, and what adverse outcomes were observed. A single study with 10 participants essentially means nothing, but 10 studies with 10 participants might be fine, depending on the rigor.

  • StackOverflow has lost 77% of new questions compared to 2022. Lowest # since May 2009.
  • Well they (probably) don’t go to places like this because they have any indication it’s other people. They’re (likely) incredibly anti-social in “real” life and online is hear a video game to them with no “real” people on the other side.

  • I think Deno made a huge mistake. (Node compatibility)
  • Deno was created by the creator of Node. When he first announced deno he stated he was going to “fix” n number of issues with node. In his presentation with the n number of issues, I think only two of them weren’t the same dumb mistakes that he had made with node (but it’s been a long time since watching so I could be remembering wrong). As far as I remember, Deno was always going to end up just as bad as node if not worse.

  • Like the other user said, this is clearly a problem if you allow any platform to exist. Let’s take this to an extreme extent. Say a company invents a platform that is 100% addicting, because they’ve figured out how to mind control you. Watching a single video means you will never stop using the platform and you will say whatever the creators want. Clearly that shouldn’t be allowed to exist. Things that social media sites do approximate that. They manipulate users brains into doing things that they normally wouldn’t do. This is why regulation exists. Clearly my example is farcical, but it’s meant to explain why you don’t allow just anything to exist. As a society, certain things are more dangerous than others, and we regulate those things.

    Clearly this ban isn’t about that, it’s about a Chinese government doing something that the US government only wants US companies to be able to do.

  • What's your opinion on balancing ethicality and salary for a CS job?
  • Doing moral good and ethical things is a requirement of being a dev, in my view. I’m lucky because I managed to get paid a lot and can be ethical. If something seems wrong to me I don’t do it. I have been fired for this before, and I just got another better paying job. Your decision is your own to make.
