    ASP.net core now has the ability to interface with Javascript code on the server in case you really want to call node.js. Uh, me thinks MS is riding the hype train a little too hard there.

    Also, is it just me or does it sound absolutely bonkers when the police storm into a property without first doing some reconnaissance to determine the expected resistance and location of civilians?

    Another article about SWATting. And here in NL that pretty much never happens. Wonder how much of it is due to the police needing to be better armed than their expected opponents and thus needing to effectively have military grade gear with military style tactics in countries with high gun ownership.

    @aemon @maiyannah True. My mileage is that no president is ever elected and we get a prime minster that usually but not always is the leader of the largest party after the elections. I'm still not sure whether that's a better system than directly choosing the leader and then allowing the one who came in second to take the prize. :P

    @maiyannah I would be really surprised if Trump knows how to code. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who's good at rigorous logic and careful phrasing.

    @aemon @maiyannah It's always the president the majority of voters processed through the electoral college deserves.

    @maiyannah So apparently PTFG is on his "nice tour" again. He asked me to convey that he still has massive respect for you and that he found a portion of your posts to be out of character for you and that he's wondering whether you're ok. And with that I'm done playing messenger.

    @maiyannah @gameragodzilla Just curious but isn't it possible for someone to have sufficient insights into both themselves and psychology to both be impaired by a disorder and be capable to set up adequate therapy? I'm talking more about things like flight anxiety than PTSD.

    @maiyannah @gameragodzilla Yup. That's why I said dark brother. Normal recollections just end up at worst with the consciousness being distracted. From what I understand PTSD goes straight into lower level parts of the brain and bypasses conscious control.

    @maiyannah @gameragodzilla That makes sense. Maybe I should think of it as the dark brother of the type of recall you have when you e.g. smell a particular scent and it takes you back to your grandma's house when you were little when that scent always hung around. In both cases it's memory associativity creating illogical recall pathways.

    @maiyannah Yup. It always surprises me how good people are are pretending to care about group X and simultaneously throwing group X under the bus. It's why I am suspicious of anyone who talks a lot about they care about a group, most people who actually care seem to talk less about it and do more.

    @gameragodzilla @maiyannah Yeah, you rarely hear stuff on social media like "I did a tour in Iraq and now I get a violent urge to flee/fight whenever I hear someone emptying a gun magazine". (Not sure if that's how PTSD can work in practice, but it seems in line with what I understand of it: a sensory stimulus experienced during times of extreme stress later experienced in a different context triggering the brain wiring created during times of stress.)

    @maiyannah Probably people would fall into two camps. The camp that knows you will respect it because they know you A) know damn well what constitutes PTSD triggers and what not and B) aren't the type to abuse sympathy for PTSD. The other camp, indeed, will most likely just ignore you out of an assumption you're making stuff up or because you're the enemy and you don't pull punches for the enemy.

    Idea for fiction book: a society where nuance is officially forbidden and people are forced to choose one camp and battle the other camp to the death over every issue. Oh wait, that would be non-fiction of course. :P

    It's interesting to consider how professional establishments frequently visited by inebriated people handle harassment and stuff: they hire some professional bouncers. I've read an article in the paper recently about a very experienced bouncer. It's interesting how little of that job revolves around force or authority through uniforms or stuff like that. Most of it is communication skills and people skills, establishing contact, talking to people to make them understand that they're a problem and, if necessary, that it would be best for them and everyone else if they exit the club.

    Despite me generally not liking VS Code very much I have to say the Powershell support is a big improvement over Powershell ISE. Particularly stuff like reformat. Having vim key support also helps.

    I somehow doubt the value of a poll that has Hillary Clinton as most admired woman. Remember this is the lady who by sheer force of personality and image managed to lose from Trump. https://community.highlandarrow.com/url/332705
