Of course it is important. Because it is moral justification for why "color blindness" is morally superior to alternatives pushed by a subset of anti-racists. By referencing MLK, a figure often revered as a moral compass, your post presents anti-racists as a corrupted extension of the valid work done in the 60s.

My point is that if you want to complain about modern anti-racists, you are very likely also complaining about MLK's beliefs too. That can be a thing you can do, but your moral foundations become less automatically rock solid and require some justification.
The Case for building Client-First web apps  (2020)

I would also like to hear more details about this story.
You mention "destigmatizing time off for parents of both genders", but the rest of your post is structured to imply that time off for new parents is a primarily or exclusively female concern. What are these "different needs and desires"? Men like to spend time with their children too. It seems to me that, rather than any particular unfairness towards women, the issue is that children simply demand a lot of parental resources that are difficult to spare in a competitive marketplace.

Hum... No, it's just a monopolist that gatekeeps a lot of people's right to commerce.

Are you claiming that the governments of the places it's relevant shouldn't care about what they do?
It seems like local-first software is a good foundation for promoting Bring Your Own Client more broadly.

> Which definition of "good" do you want near you when there's 3" of snow on the road?

When there is snow on the road you should not be near either of them.

You should be far enough behind that you can stop when the car in front gets into difficulties. The rule of thumb on a dry road is that you should be three seconds behind. At 100 km/h (about 60 mph) that's 83 m (about 270 ft), say 17 car lengths (for my Tesla S that is). If there is snow on the road perhaps it would be wise to allow more distance.

See, for instance, https://www.driveincontrol.org/drivingtips/the-three-second-...

Another one is storing data, Apple for instance can easily lock in users with iCloud because it is so much more complicated keeping all devices and apps in sync without, with iCloud you have one login for passwords, browser, files, etc.

In theory a shared folder with clients that handle multiple devices/operating systems in their dot-files well would be able to replace that, but with most phones in a closed ecosystem, I don't see that happening.

This is a foul collection of dire comments. I find it pretty asinine that the the personal choice of private individuals about how to distribute IP has brought out this vitriol. That is their choice, and I’m gobsmacked at the moral panic here. Don’t you Milton Freidman conservatives believe in the Right to Choose?

Oh you thought Biden did this by edict? You’ve just swallowed some KBG propaganda. You think that classic literature is being burned at the stake? Go look at those titles and decide for yourself.

From where I stand, the comments in this threat represents the worst of fear-mongering, retrograde thought. Ought we resurrect Briar Rabbit, because it was unfairly cancelled?

I’ll be laying atop the pile of books when the Firemen come to burn them. That isn’t this, and that isn’t now. Rush Limbaugh was out crying about apocalypse of Political Correctness since the early 90’s. It was a messaging strategy to defend the power of his demographic against moral pressures. I can’t believe this pervades the HN ethos. Rush was Wrong.

For the record I am black, and I don’t particularly care for being depicted as a zoo animal in children’s books. I’m not demanding those books be ‘disappeared’, but I appreciate the Seuss estate’s choice to retire these titles, and defend eBay’s ability to choose which products they distribute on their marketplace. How did a movement who’s message was ‘stop police from killing unarmed black people with impunity’ unleash this farce?

I don't understand. The impression I got from this thread is that the sentiment towards Scrum is mostly negative.

So why is Scrum so prominent in the software industry today? My guess it that, although bad, Scrum is not bad enough to actually completely destroy the productive of a team. Developers are still able to produce output despite the process. OTOH, mid-level managers are able to use Scrum to produce numbers/metrics to make the upper level happy, get promoted, move onto other companies, and make Scrum spread.

Is my view somewhat accurate? Is there anything we as developers can do to help improve our work environment? In the end, are we powerless against the wrath of the management?
It's possible in the sense that the code might not reflect the intentions of its creators due to an oversight.

What's interesting is to see how it will be dealt with. Most "DeFi" and cryptocurrency aficionados are quick to claim that "code is law", so we'll see whether they change their minds when their own money is at stake.

The thread is lost if we narrowly focus on the distinction between public and private censorship. Yes, the distinction is important, but it is not the entirety of the issue.

Consider the following:

The gov. has discriminatory hiring practices.

The private sector has discriminatory hiring practices.

Yes, the state's monopoly role is an important distinction, but it does not mean that we cannot object to a culture of intolerance or the normalization of intolerance.

Please point out to me where I myself was impolite, or where I accused OP of intentionally invoking the term for its negative connotations.

Is some behavior only rude if the person knows that it will be offensive? I think if a 16 year old picks his nose in a job interview, you’d still think he was rude, even if you knew his parents didn’t raise him right.

When I was growing up, we used the word “gyp” as a synonym for “cheat”. As in “Don’t g** me out of what you owe me!” Earlier generations would use the word “jew” as a verb in a similar way.

As kids, we were ignorant of the origin of these words. Does that fact make our use of them them less offensive and rude? What would you tell your kid if you heard him say to a friend, “You better not j** me out of what you owe me!” Personally, I would be mortified, even if I knew it came from a place of ignorance.

What’s the difference here?
Division by zero is still undefined in the extended reals. To define it you'd need something like the projective reals. But it doesn't matter; floating point numbers don't have a zero; they have two zeroes of different signs.
Quick story: I worked for a Japanese company. A really good one.

Anyone familiar with Japanese business/engineering process knows that the principal engineering project management fuel is meetings. Highly organized and structured meetings. Our headquarters building in Shinagawa had two entire floors, dedicated to conference rooms, and every floor had at least 4 conference rooms, along with "ad hoc" conference rooms, made up of file cabinets, set up like a grade-schooler's home "fort."

We had to book conference rooms six months in advance, for a half-hour meeting. Once, we were ten minutes late for a meeting, and the booking system automatically knocked us out, and assigned our room to another team. We went out to the coffee shop, but couldn't "talk shop" outside the headquarters building.

Yeah...they take meetings seriously over there.

So my team (based in the US, but run from Japan) hired a really sharp guy to be our process/infrastructure person. He was loved and valued throughout his six-year tenure, and we cried for years, after he moved on to greener pastures (this story might illustrate the appeal of said "greener pastures"). He was a fairly new Agile proponent, and proposed a daily standup.

So, anyway, the spirit of a daily standup, is to be informal and fast. Start of day, 15 minutes, no chairs, lightning talks, very brief Q&A, What I did, What I Want to Do, the Challenges I Anticipate, etc.

So, our Japanese liaison member (the person responsible for learning our process and representing Tokyo's interests to us) takes a liking to these, because...meeting GOOD. You get the picture.

So our "standups" ended up becoming hour-long daily pre-lunchtime events, with a booked conference room, seats, a fixed agenda, and a daily report to Tokyo.

Be careful what you wish for.

As I see it, cloud providers are currently entrenched as Lords of Everything because they can both provide the infrastructure and the products that run on top of it. Making them act more like utility providers would reduce their power, I think.
That's an interesting table. I would say that it reinforces the case that Autopilot (actually labelled Autosteer in the UI of my 2015 Model S) is actually not dangerous.

My comment was incomplete earlier and I edited it to update it later but you had already posted your comment before my edit, so posting this comment to clarify that I do occasionally indeed provide my full attention. I sometimes post a web meeting link to the Matrix/IRC channel. Anyone is welcome to drop in to the web meeting or drop out at any time. However, I have not tried the approach of offering one-on-one meeting slots via calendar booking and relying on audio/video during the meetings and that is something I am eager to try out now.

Amazon has started to remove books on political grounds as well: https://ncac.org/news/amazon-book-removal

The Dr. Seuss books were banned not just by eBay but also by their publisher, which holds the copyright, so you can still buy them used on Amazon... for $1,500+ per copy: https://www.wane.com/news/prices-skyrocket-for-dr-seuss-book...

The reality is that these books will not be accessible to the vast majority of future American readers. This is just a fact at this point.

It doesn't even matter if Amazon keeps selling them, as the publisher banned them, so the number of (legal) copies will dwindle to zero. Also, with Amazon starting to ban books on similar political grounds, saying "but Amazon didn't ban this specific book (yet)" or "you can still get a copy at some obscure second-hand stores" is burying our heads in the sand and ignoring the reality of what is happening.

But the WSJ also says this about the open letter calling for a forensic investigation:

I love how there is an ongoing war between "the old guards" of agile and SAFe. Look up some of the rants, it's a great read. Certificate peddlers flaming each other.

SAFe has a great, telling name though - it's designed to be safe for corporate control freaks. They might not know waterfall, they just live it in their guts.

Easy to identify, they believe in being a "visionary leader" and "inspiring the lower rank".
Firing someone for not asking enough questions seems extreme.

The way I've seen this happen is that someone is assigned a task to render Bezier Curves in OpenGL, they work on it for a few days stumbling through, and 5 days later when they are done with the task that was assigned to them, they try to commit and find out that someone else had been given a task to remove all curves from the display and replace them with octogon segments or whatever.

With a daily scrum, they would say "I'm working on the Bezier Curves feature today" and someone else would be able to quickly tell them there's a problem with that.

In some teams, this kind of communication happens naturally all the time, but in others, people get focused on their own tasks and avoid it, either not paying attention to group chatter or simply not sending out wild questions. 15-30 minutes of lost focus for everyone everyday is really not that big a cost to pay to ensure this happens early. With any luck, a tight knit team would anyway spend that long on coffee together every day, so the daily just formalizes some informal process which already existed - no extra cost.

It doesn’t make sense. Whites can tan or not tan at will to their detriment (melanoma).

Japanese used to have a stigma related to being tanned as it represented manual labor. Not being tanned meant you didn’t work like a peasant. In western society oddly being tanned was associated with having leisure time to tan. All in all ‘not tanning’ was all around better than foot binding as a status marker.

Now, in Japan you see two situations people who want to look untanned and others who want to look ultra tanned (really dark make up).

I’m sure this will make these ultra sensitive types go into a tailspin.

Now in South Asia there is a tendency for middle class women to lighten their skin tone. Is that good, bad? I dunno. That should be up to them. To me it’s no different from other make up or getting hair transplants or nosejobs or other cosmetic surgery. But some people want to jam their preconception on other people’s freedoms.

I've seen that infographic about "white culture" before (hello to my fellow New Discourses fan) and it's such a great illustration of how this movement is not only insane, but absurdly racist.

They think that aspects of "white culture" include "following rigid time schedules", "rational linear thinking" and "being polite"!!! What is the implication of this? That black culture doesn't bother with such trivialities as good timekeeping, rationality and being polite? Is this from an "anti-racist" document or a Klan pamphlet?

(Also, anyone who thinks there's anything inherently "white" about following rigid time schedules has obviously never spent much time in southern Europe.)
Git also allows you to push --force if so you wish, something that would require a 51% attack if you were to do it in a blockchain-based ledger.

I really don't think blockchains are a panacea and in many cases they're a solution looking for a problem, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily useless.

EDIT: Also as a sibling parent said, it's just proof of work what gets the bad rap about power consumption, and there's nothing inherently costly in blockchains themselves.
I appreciate you responding to my criticism despite my analogy, but I was concerned you might try to discourage or prevent people using such an analogy in future, without offering an alternative (and despite me having no ill intent behind it).

As for why I used an analogy, I don't know what reason will satisfy you. People use analogies to help other people get an intuitive sense of an idea which might otherwise be hard to explain. If you understood my point without needing the analogy then that's great, but I don't want to assume that analogies are never helpful.
On re-reading the parent comment above yours, I see they were referring to criticizing things done by private companies that are technically lawful, so that's my bad for not seeing the full context. Legality and morality often get conflated in these sorts of threads so I just wanted to clarify. Although I don't really agree with either the choices behind the Hollywood Blacklist or this current Ebay banning, I believe they should both be able to happen in a free(ish) market.

Personally, I think the cancel culture stuff will hit a tipping point and go the other way toward some mean. That sort of pendulum swing happens with culture all the time. Just like our society and laws survived the Hollywood Blacklist (and many worse societal upheavals), it'll survive this.
I agreee with you but it would be much better if every locale-dependent function had an argument for an explicit locale object.

Only on old hardware, and you can't expect users' computers to be compatible. In fact, you should expect users' copmuters to be incompatible. That's like saying consumer hardware support GLIDE.
Of course! I'm not ascribing any moral weight to it, just pointing out the similarity in tactics. Engagement can be a good thing if you're using it to improve someone's life rather than simply trying to extract as much time and money from them as possible.
Possibly yes, though I don't know of one which isn't more draconic (e.g. end of day reports) or manipulative (e.g. forcing the team to have coffee/lunch together every day). My point was that dailys are a real solution to a real problem, not that they are utterly indispensable and irreplaceable.
