So if Ruby is dying and .NET is dying and PHP is dying, does that mean the future is NodeJS? Because if it is, fuck that noise.

Hey @boomzilla what are you doing here?
So, @royal_poet and I picked up a box of T.I.M.E. Stories this weekend and settled down to play.
And in the 1920s asylum... there's @boomzilla!
Better view...
Naturally, wooden table.

Politics category
It seems that we have a 'few' politics threads going on right now.
Might I suggest a politics category where we can Jeff the threads to and then be able to ignore the entire category for those of us who don't habitually wear flame retardant chemicals?

RE: This is how it feels to learn Javascript in 2016
@anonymous234 to be brutally honest I'm getting fed up of the whole web thing, it's like all the problems that were solved twenty years ago are suddenly new problems again and I'm tempted to fuck off to regular desktop development because that seems less full of ...

RE: Nope, you eat it
@HardwareGeek well the subject was “we’re selling you wellness water with added hydrogen because that gives you magical benefits” and since they were literally saying that water didn’t hydrate you and didn’t contain hydrogen, I wondered the idiot-level way how you’d be adding more hydrogen to dihydrogen-monoxide.
A super cursory search of h3o suggested it was a bad time but I didn’t notice the plus because I’m no chemist.

RE: Nope, you eat it
@Zerosquare said in Nope, you eat it:
Reminds me of something I saw at a drugstore recently. A product which loudly proclaimed to be much better than the alternatives for hydration.
It was tablets that you have to dissolve in a glass of water.
To be fair, it had electrolytes, so it's not quite a placebo. But still, there were definite Idiocracy vibes.
But does it have what plants crave?

@topspin but the bankers’ bonuses???? What about their bonuses? Have you no heart, no sympathy for their plight?
(No? Good. Me neither. Fuck ‘em.)

RE: Nope, you eat it
Just seen an influencer try to sell a bottle of hydrogenated water because water isn’t hydrated.
(At least she didn’t try to claim that it was H3O rather than H2O as I feel that would have some seriously adverse reactions)
I am fascinated with how many health claims are made by this “hydrogenated water” (extra H2 molecules) because I have a feeling half of the benefits are simply placebo for “actually you’re just drinking more water instead of coffee or soda”

@Zecc because Numbers Must Go Up.
Technically, the overall economy is growing year on year: it must do because year on year there are more people, therefore there is an increase in total demand for all goods.
There is also the fact that supply is permanently constrained because it is by definition finite. These two facts together at the macro level produce inflation in a functioning macro economy.
However at a more micro level, the US in particular is revelling in a throwback to the 1980s in that greed is good. Numbers must get bigger otherwise you have failed to meet expectations, because shareholders demand infinite growth and therefore infinite profits.
This is why various industries are increasingly getting more aggressive (and why enshittification happens), because it stops being enough to make products and produce services and take a healthy amount from these. They can’t just make some of the money any more. They have to keep making more of the money. (Even if they didn’t want to, wage costs go up because inflation pushes the cost of living up, so people want pay rises.)
