For Xbox its a little bit easier since they launched ID@xbox and pushed it the last few years. Not perfect, but way better than Sony

I am not sure where your defensive reaction comes from, but please read something about toxic masculinity before being so vocal about your opinion. Toxic masculinity can be reinforced by all genders and all genders can be victims.

And admitting your own errors is definitely not equally seen in different groups.

Two years later he admitted that maybe there was something about climate change nowadays…

At least they changed their mind (a little bit). I think this is a huge part of the problem: admitting an error and being supported for that admission is something that is frowned upon in certain groups. I think toxic masculinity plays one big factor here. Admitting errors is seen as “not masculine”, especially within conservative groups.

One person on X who said they were there reported a confused-sounding scene of police “running” near the museum’s famous pyramid “and trying to enter… from glass side doors but they were locked and they could not enter”.

“Everyone inside was running and banging on glass doors to get out, but could not open. Police and military police arrived,” they added.

That’s a way more newsworthy part than some random rich-people jewelery IMHO. Had they never heared of The Station nightclub? I hope the responsible parties of the Louvre get some jail time.

I mean, it kind of can be

This is basically one of the core ideas of Ruby: that you can read it like a story. Once you are used to reading it as “do X unless Y”, you will miss it in other languages. Note that I wrote Y, not Y is true. Because often Y is a statement that has meaning in itself.

Example:

# imagine that given_name is some text from user input

# this is of course valid:
user.name = given_name if !user.is_locked

# but this reads more fluently:
user.name = given_name unless user.is_locked

Ruby also allows using ? as last character in method names, which is a convention for methods that return either true or false.

Same goes for ! (the bang operator), that is commonly used to tell developers that there exists a non-bang version of the same method as well. The bang method is often the more strict version (e.g. raises an error instead of returning nil; or having side effects compared to the non-bang version).

So the above example may be more commonly written like this:

user.name = given_name unless user.locked?

and the question mark makes you automatically adding is or has while reading: Set the user’s name to the given_name unless the user is locked

Of course this is all by convention and you may also do it different. But that’s how most Ruby code is written.

To stay consistent, lots of projects use RuboCop, which warns you on inconsistency based on your project’s settings.

Ruby has it as well:

a ||= b

# which means
a = a || b
# wich is the same as
a = b if !a
# which rubyists like to write as
a = b unless a
# or as ternary
a = a ? a : b

I don’t see it ;(

Little bit disappointed that its not

So there you are creeping again. Please seek help. You need it.

Isn’t this the best place? A shit post?

Drivers and damaging public property, name a more iconic duo

Tbf, they (1) asked a question to learn something new and (2) where open about the result. That’s highly respectable

TL;DR do not use ==

Except corporations aren’t some mythical deities. They are run by people, especially boomers

Its like attending a big fair and there are thousands of open stages for public discussions. Each stage hosts one of many different topics. A single one (!) of these stages is “female-speakers only”. And these neckbeards are throwing a tantrum that this single stage is a safe space for women.

As a straight white cis-man I feel ashamed when seeing other men acting like this.

It also kind of forces you to consume music in a more focused way. Instead of cycling through hundreds of songs in a few minutes you are forced to preselect what you really want to hear. Which has both its pros and cons, but I enjoy the “slow pace” when discovering new songs.
