If Twitch taught us anything, this is just the beginning.

Turning into? Watch the actions of BJP, not their words.

Find the difference between Hindutva and Naziism (hint: they’re the same thing)

I get it - complaints about complaints, the 'Inception' of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less 'moan-fest', more 'awareness-raising'. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.

Downvoting? Sure, it's a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can't we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let's not just 'downvote and move on', let's 'upvote and move up'. Let's brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.

There's less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

Absolutely. Look at the solidarity of WGA, SAG, and the Teamsters today. They're standing up to the real 'landed gentry' – corporations trying to strip away job protections and replace workers with generative AI.

Someone’s taking ‘practical exams’ to a whole new level.

Absolutely, many languages do allow negative indices. The intriguing part about PHP, though, is that its ‘arrays’ are actually ordered maps (or hash tables) under the hood. This structure allows for a broader range of keys, like our negative integers or even strings. It’s a unique design choice that sets PHP apart and allows for some really interesting usage patterns. Not your everyday array, right?

Ever wondered about the array_fill function? It can be baffling. Try filling an array with a negative index:

array_fill(-5, 4, 'test');

Many languages would throw an error, but PHP? It’s perfectly fine with this and you get an array starting at index -5. It’s like PHP is the Wild West of array indexing!

My bet’s on 3D printed meat making it to our plates before we’re DIY’ing insulin.

Regulation for medications like insulin is super tight (rightly so!). You can’t just whip up life-saving stuff in your garage without some heavy-duty checks and balances from the FDA and the like. Plus, the DIY part is insane, we’re talking high-level genetic engineering and biochemistry here, not homebrew beer.

Then there’s the demand part. The hype for environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free meat is real and growing every day. If they can get the taste and texture right, not to mention a decent price, lab-grown meat is gonna fly off the shelves.

Meanwhile, homebrew insulin’s got a smaller audience - mainly type 1 diabetics and some type 2s. And given that botched insulin can be lethal, a lot of folks might stick to the tried-and-true stuff from pharmaceutical companies.

So yeah, I’m thinking lab-grown burgers beat homebrew insulin to the punch. But hey, it’s 2023, who knows what’s around the corner? Fun to think about though!

Ever bitten into a spicy pepper and enjoyed the burn? That’s what it feels like! Different strokes for different folks, but for me, every drop of sweat is a medal of honor. It’s tough to describe, but it’s about the journey of getting stronger, faster, better. Embrace the grind, my friend, and you might just find that elusive gym rat bliss.

There’s an argument to be made that by maintaining the Lightning connector, Apple can control and profit from the ecosystem of accessories that support their devices. This includes licensing fees from the Made for iPhone (MFi) program, which manufacturers must join to produce Lightning-compatible accessories. While user experience may be a consideration, Apple’s decision also likely has financial incentives.
