I know, I know, it’s pronounced “Nyïmp”

Full name is GNUIMP anyway

Conceptually, the nihilists are right! Nothing does matter.

Oh snap, so this guy is on the faaaaaaaar side of the bell curve wearing the hood and agreeing with me. Well played.

Exactly! You actually CAN have 50 people finish something 50x faster, but it takes a shitload of planning, and that equals time and money no company I have ever worked for, or even known of, would allocate to something that isn’t generating immediate income.

Take the Hoover Dam for example: Dsigned over 3 ish years and built in 5, at a time when nothing that huge had ever been made before, at less than a billion in today money, and 2 years ahead of schedule. It’s 90 years old.

If you’re worried about the veracity of the claims, I can assure you they’re true.

This history of the opinion pieces is an interesting one. I just wanted to point those two facts out to anyone who may have missed that in the headline.

More info if you’re interested:

The Opinion section operates editorially independently from the rest of the newspaper. It is the section’s unique mission both to be the voice of The Times, and to challenge it. The Op-Ed pages were born, in part, because of the closing of New York’s top conservative newspaper, The New York Herald Tribune. They were created to be opposite the editorial pages — and not just physically.

“The purpose of the Op. Ed. page is neither to reinforce nor to counterbalance The Times’s own editorial position,” the introduction to the newly created opinion pages stated in 1970. “The objective is rather to afford greater opportunity for exploration of issues and presentation of new insights and new ideas by writers and thinkers who have no institutional connection with The Times and whose views will very frequently be completely divergent from our own.”

Just to highlight that last bit: The opinions are frequently chosen to be completely divergent from those held by the NYT staff.

Well, it’s an opinion piece, and a guest writing it, so there’s that.

JavaScript: :wide eyed and smiling: Sure why not! You’re the boss!

Python: Sighing and downing half a bottle of Advil: Sure. Why not, you’re the boss.

that’s amazing.

Tabs are a dark pattern confirmed.

The war is over, long live spaces.

Unsolicited fact: Heinz picked the number 57 at random, it just sounded like good marketing at a time when things were general marketed as “tonic #4” and the like.

(well, maybe not fact, more like probable truth)

That’s why the cat is smug. It knows you know this.
