This wasn’t true in the past and we might simply be experiencing a historical anomaly right now

While our exact pacing might be slightly different from the pure extrapolation, human history has been a long, steady increase in the rate of invention. Access to education has meant that more people are making things, and then the next generations build on top of their work to make even bigger things.

I'd say big ones could be.

I just saw this on the sub I moderate. Someone was right on the edge of ban-worthy behavior and someone else told them to fuck off and "have fun getting fucked by DeSantis". The one who said to fuck off got reported for "targeted harassment". I'm used to these idiots, so it's obvious what's going on. But maybe I should take a harder stance on the softline idiots...

Good thing you don't need to have your children still care about for it to work, or he'd be screwed.

Same -- I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I've actually moved halfway across the country and... yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that's technically a change, I guess.

Another fun comparison is to watch Seven Samurai, then watch The Magnificent Seven.

New York has a similar thing about to take effect, as well.

Someone just made this up so that they could get it away from their kid, didn't they?

I jest, but that would be funny.

For sure! I happened to come across it by accident while watching the first version.

Not just this, it's AH. Not... terrible, but super hype-y from what I've seen.

Yeah, I realize that these are extremes of it, but when the faces of the movement are overwhelmingly awful people, it's a problem.

 

I'm looking to learn to build things for iOS. I already know other languages besides Swift, but I'd really like to have a structured path for this. Any recommendations?
