I’m aware that Christianity (and most other religions) are just full of asshole hypocrites who excuse their evil doings by either:

• suffer from the main character syndrome and believe the evil thing they just did is God’s will, so it must be good, because God is good.
• be aware that it’s evil, but it’s all good as long they ask God for forgiveness afterwards, because God is good and accepts all forgiveness.

I’m confused about the state of Christians in America. I mean, they surround their entire lives around this Jesus character as he’s depicted in the Bible. They believe he’s God’s manifestation as a person without sin and yada yada.

Yet, they think Trump is a good representation of Christian values. If anything, he’s closer to the embodiment of the antithesis of Jesus Christ. How is it possible to be so bad at your own religion? The teachings of Jesus isn’t exactly rocket science. It’s mostly just ”be kind to others”.

But somehow these people - who supposedly spend all their waking hours around his teachings - are so ignorant they fail to grasp this basic concept. Nah, instead they cherry pick some ambiguous sentence from their book to justify their hate for others.

Well, that’s my rant about how the level of ignorance is beyond my comprehension. Or if you prefer: I’m ignorant about where all this ignorance is coming from.

Jira is so badly performing I make Jonathan Blow signature rants about the state of software whenever I use it.

This was when Trump entered the office a few weeks ago.

You need to clean your keyboard if your hands look like that after a day of work

Nah, that’s too fancy. It’s all held together by some arcane Visual Basic macro someone wrote 25 years ago right before going to retirement and no one has dared to touch it ever since.

Maybe it’s all just one big .xlsm file?

Well this book from the Bronze Age which has consistently been wrong about everything has some sentence that may or may not indicate that this thing is bad.

C++ is just an exceptionally badly designed language.

The weakness of C++ is that it attempted to be backwards compatible with C. It’s like it’s trying to be two programming languages at once.

And then it became like three languages at once when smart pointers became the norm. It makes it very difficult and confusing to learn.

4. Politics doesn’t end on Election Day. Continue to pressure Kamala over the genocide

There’s also teachers who voted for Trump that are surprised he’s going to dismantle the department of education and freeze the federal funding they depend on.

Republicans would just spin the narrative by accusing her of being antisemetic (aka a Nazi).

It’s the voters who voted for Trump. It’s that simple.

Although I didn’t have ”Trump ending the Israel Palestine conflict by making Palestine American” on my bingo card, it was always super obvious that Trump is way more pro Israel than Kamala. If you thought otherwise you didn’t pay attention at all.

The poster points to this as an example: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/06/trump-arab-americans-dearborn-michigan-00203018

People are apparently surprised that Bibi’s best friend is anti Palestine. Who could’ve known?

Basically it’s just an optimization of a double nested for loop. It’s a way to avoid running the inner for loop when it is known there will be no hit.

This is useful when we for example want to find all product orders of customers in a particular country. The way we can do this is to first filter all customers by their country, and then match orders by the remaining customers. The matching step is the double for loop.

Something like this:

for order in orders:
    for customer in customers_in_country:
        if order.customer_id == customer.id:
            …

Many orders won’t match a customer in the above query, so we want to single out these orders before we run the expensive inner for loop. The way they do it is to create a cache using a Bloom filter. I’d recommend looking it up, but it’s a probabilistic cache that’s fast and space efficient, at the cost of letting through some false positives. With this particular use case it’s ok to have some false positives. The worst thing that can happen is that the inner for loop is run more times than necessary.

The final code is something like this:

bloom_filter = create_bloom(customers_in_country)
for order in orders:
    if bloom_filter.contains(order.customer_id):
        for customer in customers_in_country:
            if order.customer_id == customer.id:
                …

Edit: this comment probably contain many inaccuracies, as I’ve never done this kind of stuff in practice, so don’t rely too much on it.
