For semantic reasons.

Each element in HTML should correspond to a proper semantic element. For example, navigation elements should go within <nav>. Elements like <center> are remanants of the good ol days when css wasn’t mature enough and you’d add color to an element via attributes. Obviously, center has no semantic meaning and pretty much useless in web dev now. It hasn’t been removed but deprecated.

These are "should"s and not "must"s. This is why divs exist because many times it’s hard to decide what semantic meaning a piece of content has, so divs are just generic components when you can’t think of an better semantic tag.</center></nav>

Ah yes enslaved chromium

Ah yes good old <center> </center> times. by the way, yes it exists

I have never been more sad to waste 30 seconds of my life to a spam ad trying to understand it if it was a hidden meme :(

Lol that’s a pretty fun idea actually- just to see the commits evolve over time. I know there are over 1 million commits but yeah when you think about it all of them pretty much document the state of kernel at that time.

Some glance at the comments in the video tells me that this video aged like wine, the guy might be harassing coworkers. I say might because, I am not 100% sure.

It makes sense, I agree but speaking from personal experience from India where this positive discrimination called reservation exists, just leads to horrible segregation, it flares up every now and then in people. People from high castes always curse the lower ones for not getting their “supposed government job” that they should have gotten. Such measures should be entirely based on economic status and not some birth status. I say this because I know plenty of rich but lower caste people who have terribly exploited this system.

I also agree that in the end, matters relating to such birth statuses are complicated. If only humans could co exist all peacefully but alas.

Ok Richard

It’s absurd if that’s true. Who would in their right mind believe this solves any racism? If anything it creates more segregation about races. It’s the social acceptance that minorities need not economic or education privilege. Sad times.

It’s not socially acceptable anywhere in the urban places but in rural places it can a quite a problem.

I have lived my entire life in a urban city without any discrimination whatsoever, but I have also heard of rural places where they would literally burn people alive for intercaste marriage.

One of the main reasons it’s not extinct yet is because people love to take “pride” in their caste. There are plenty of songs dedicated to “jatt” people, people of a higher caste. “Khatris” are often glorified in movies for fighting. You can see the problem is same as if white people started making songs on “being white and proud” and Britishers claiming victory in ww2 because they were “white”. It’s absurd and I have felt the pain but I am thankful for the present situation and I suppose it’s better than being burnt alive haha.

Yes there is reservation and that’s absurd too, imagine if “black” people were allowed reservation for jobs in government.

Ah yes, linux supremacy

It’s as close to a “universal packaging system” as can get now.

There was a lot of talk back in time, when Ubuntu decided to forcefully shove snaps onto users. The thing is, Ubuntu could have embraced flatpaks like many other distros but it chose snaps which is not ideal for people who like an OS whose primary goals revolve around freedom and privacy. You see, it is the proprietary nature of snaps that gets them this hate.

Appimage and other packaging methods don’t get this hate because they are open source and users have a “choice”. What we are seeing against snaps is the result of forcing people to a choice, ofcourse the people in question are linux users - people who are famous about taking freedom of choice seriously. Yes, you can get ride of snaps on Ubuntu but you can get rid of lot of ads and stuff on windows with a lot of tinkering too - I think you see the point.

Many people tend to have a preference for flatpaks because they do basically what snaps do but better and ofcourse flatpaks fit into the “freedom and privacy” spirit of linux.

Thanks, Now excuse me while I put a million compiler flags to optimse my program by 1 nanosecond and contemplate the reasons for human existence.

It’s unironically true for most proprietary but free services- people think they are free but their is always hidden stuff like data collection.

You might as well tell others to just use windows at this point.

Edit: Yeah sorry, my point is that freedom is what makes linux linux. I don’t really think you have ever used linux mint before and I don’t want to sound like a white knight for linux mint but you should atleast be a little less condenscending towards a distro that has been among the top distro for beginners to switch and has fulfilled the role of a full OS without ever needing for many like me to dig too deep into linux configs and stuff. Mint’s development towards debian is only a good thing for many users like me because it preserves the future in case of a ubuntu upstream issue, besides freedom is the spirit of linux.

Purely in technical terms, this meme doesn’t really fit unless they start running literally from the edge.

While and do while are equal except for the very first test. So if the very first test does not evaluate to false, they are essentially same. In the meme that implies they started running sometime before reaching the edge, that runs the “run()” atleast once and later on for every run it would be checked and it would be false at the cliff edge.

Tough competition

Nice, It’s hard to seperate science from meme these days you know. Back in my day, people wouldn’t make such jokes but oh Wait I am still 23. Good times.

Hello, how are you? I am under the water, please help me, here too much raining. auhm…

Someone above mentioned that magnetron bombarded by another magnetron can cause a feedback loop thus causing the explosion. I am not exactly sure if that is scientifically correct but that could be one explanation for the explosion.

But yeah the rest of the story is probably just a meme story.
