Well, they parent tried to transplant the word "master" into a german context and noted it doesn't translate. I then gave examples of words that work analogous to the word "master" in English. These things are connected by the concept that "I'm not offended by them, why should anyone else?"

Where these discussions about how Germans call their pharmacies connect to the article is that in both cases the arbiters who decide how things are called are the white - once you start to involve the people that these offensive words are about, you suddenly get a different sense of how important or offensive these words are. There's a recent example of a talkshow where a couple of white more-or-less-celebrities decided that these words are just german heritage, and really what is all the fuzz about ? To appease the ensuing mini-scandal the station organized a roundpanel of people who might be affected by these slurs - and surprise, they really weren't so fond of them.

Or see this article about a campaign to rename a trainstation: https://isdonline.de/umbenennung-der-mohrenstrasse-mehr-resp...

You are obviously right, changing words by itself doesn't change a thing - but if I can't even count on someone not using slurs about me, I can't expect to respected at all.
It's common sense that a school with more money can hire more and better teachers as well as remove barriers to learning like food insecurity and lack of textbooks/computers.

The burden of proof falls on the counterintuitive claim that the same school would have the same sustained effectiveness regardless of funding.

In contrast, not perpetrating an idiotic rename requires no action at all.

> all report to Engineering manager

In my experience, product managers have never reported to an engineering manager.

Which is probably part of the problem, and why this type of hierarchy can lead to a "3 managers" type scenario. The product manager, senior dev / tech lead, and engineering manager all have some management responsibilities. When the separation of responsibility is not clearly delineated, so the regular team members are left in an awkward position of having 3 different people they have to report to, and often get conflicting feedback from each of them.
Lol, this is some nth order thought going on here. Simon's dimness isn't proofed by some bullshit crafted image but by how laggardly JPMorgan is due to Dimon's innate cautiousness.

The Benefits of CMMS Software in the Mining Industry
While I don’t think it’s a pipe dream, I agree we don’t know how far we are from achieving it, and that it may be tomorrow or never.

I think it’s worth planning for as if it’s imminent, because of the cost of it happening without planning is unbounded while the cost of planning now is perhaps a few thousand PhDs.

I'd extend these virtue signaling "moments" to stuff like changing the names of sports teams and bases and all of the attempts to scrub "offensive" things from our lexicon.

It's not just limited to "black" but also American Indians, gay people, trans, etc.

These all strike me as Priviledged people being offended for others and trying to scream "LOOK AT ME I'M FIXING THINGS!!!" with stuff that matters to no one... and in the end, they widen the divide and make everything 100x worse with all the policies to "fix" racism/sexism/all'the'other'isms but making everything about race/sex/etc.

So divisive and counter productive uses of time that solve nothing.
It's true. Basically most people don't understand entropy. Both the scientific method and entropy are phenomenons arising from the assumption that probability is real. If you understand that entropy is merely a consequence of probability then you understand entropy.

I think the thermodynamic law throws everyone off. Entropy is not the axiomatic law. The law is probability, and this same law also powers our science.

I'll likely continue to try it out, because the marketing and documentation looks so good. Having spent a fair bit of time on this now, I don't think it's really possible to have a good experience with VSCode as the input.

I understand everything in the world to the deepest depth.

Let me explain, because this is a bit of sarcasm. I realized after years of being a specialist, that deep knowledge can be hired for at a price much less than the cost of achieving it in most cases. Thus, in most cases, specialized knowledge isn't needed - but in the case it is, find and talk to the person who can get you most of the way there.

However, in the spirit of the question, some CS related algo's or quantum mechanics (due to PBS Spacetime). I've learned to be a flexible generalist.
Same for me. It worked after adjusting one of the sliders.
We used an early version at Uber; I was one of the few people to help set it up in the early days.

It's literally just SO format, but for internal stuff. It's great for when you have siloed teams that have to communicate, especially when you've never met those people. It makes a lot of sense at these large companies, since Uber is just a bunch of small, isolated teams mashed together in large open floor plans. Nobody actually knows each other unless you've worked directly with them or they're notable management.

So for that, it was great (when I was there). I can't imagine this being useful for smaller teams.

Confluence is more long-form, wiki-like documentation, often written by someone with authoritative knowledge. While this isn't forbidden (quite the contrary) on SO or SO for Teams, it's not exactly what it's most useful for in my opinion.

I disagree for three reasons.

1) The burden falls disproportionately on Git maintainers and on people with large amounts of dependencies to the old word which is not a good way to distribute work (across tech workers) when making changes especially since some people will not even notice the change.

2) Not everyone uses Git each day and I am certain that people who continue to use the word "master" without knowing a thing about what Git is will be viewed as racist and morally inferior. E.g. (Master of Ceremonies, Master of Arts, etc.). Explain how a tech worker can agree that "master branch" is offensive but putting that they have a "Master of Science" on their CV is fine.

3) Somewhat arbitrarily changing words with a tenuous relation to racism seems like an extremely passive aggressive, murky, and dangerous path to go down. Not only does it lay a trap for people to be accused of being racist but if this is acceptable it is inconsistent with not removing all words associated with slavery. Even words with a distant relation to slavery.

It’s not “construed as me demanding you go outside the walled garden at all times”, it’s that you’re making demands on a private company thru the police power of the state, rather than just not buying the product - and that such demands have consequences that reduce security and degrade via other unintended consequences.

I agree it is very odd. For other reasons too, including how Google tries to differentiate their smartphone ecosystem from Apple to try and compete. Innovating on a business model for developers would be a good differentiator.

This is why my theory for this blatant copying is for regulatory reasons. The app stores are under scrutiny right now and it is best for Android, which has very large market penetration with the Play Store, to make it look like Apple is in control of the market. Just my theory.
Certainly, but it was a burden in that it took away an unnecessary privilege. The point of the boycotts was ultimately not to put an extra burden on others to remind them of their privilege.

The point of the original comment was that renaming master to main served as a reminder for people. But movements in the past that you were referencing never served a goal of solely putting burdens on other people.
Eh its kind of an interesting question. Where is the line between what should be a language feature and what should be a macro. At the extreme arguing a feature should not be part of the language and be a library does translate to advocating lisp for everything.

But concurrency is a really interesting case. Concurrency solutions are highly specific. I think we'd all agree there is no "answer" for concurrency, which puts it square in the library category. And there are consequences to getting your language's concurrency solution wrong. For example, I'd point to Clojure's built-in STM as a huge swing-and-a-miss. Otoh Erlang is the poster child for why doing concurrency right really does require language-level support.

What's the way out? Imo either build your language around concurrency from day 1, ie Erlang, Go, Pony, or accept that concurrency will always be a best effort good-enough solution in your language.

I believe this does not work well. At least it did not for me.

We routinely conflate todos/plans ('need to do this') , observations and patterns ('this is what i see happening when...'), events ('this happened...') and learnings ('this is what i did wrong, right...') as "notes".

I started with dropping everything in notational velocity (till it broke on my Mac upgrade) and / or 'email thyself' and like you said, it builds and its there but of little or no use. Unless its in my brain, I can't make connections. Without connections I cannot recall when I need it. It really does not help. Its actually net negative with the effort that goes into putting it in there.

I now use Google docs. One doc for each topic I am currently working on (e.g interview preparation, home purchase research, kubernetes, etc..) This builds topic wise documents which are exponentially faster to navigate/guess without needing text search or any filing system. I can skim through 1-2 documents and it provides context, history, insights, quotes in 1 place that I try and read more often which tends to stick in my head. Also given that I am more a visual learner, the place where something particular was on a document also brings in what was written next to it simply because I've seen it so often.

There's a weird recursive bug I found on dendron.so where if I click the "Blog" heading, go to "Film" on the left, choose "Agents of Shield", click one of the notes to get a tooltip saying "This page has not sprouted yet", and then click the "Dendron" link in that tooltip. What I'm seeing is dendron.so within dendron.so. This process can be repeated using the inner frame.
You can construct credentials from any ID token, it ends up as a standard Authorization: Bearer header on each RPC. I believe this is the case for Google Auth too.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Personally, I'm really nervous of anything which further deepens "me vs them" dichotomies. They're really unproductive. If you're acting as a leader in any capacity building a product, you have to figure out how to nip these things in the bud before they metastasize like cancers.

Realistically Apple is doing 95% of the lift and while this might have being handled better given Apple bet the house on Swift it is unrealistic that they would not push features they critically need for their products. Pragmatically speaking of all the choices in this space Swift is shaping up to be a very strong option and compared to say Go is way more open in the way it is being developed.
Hard agree. I can include myself in the group of survivors. I was a military officer commanding tank units until my early 30 and I originally planned to move into the Army's ORSA program, which requires a quantitative background, so went back to school for Applied Mathematics, ended up falling in love with programming, and did a Master's in CS after discharging from the service and here I am years later doing fine. And I don't think I'm lacking in core CS knowledge, either.

But I'm not going to sit here and say "oh, anyone can just go back to school full time while also working full time and complete a grad program at a top ten CS school with a 4.0 GPA and triple their salary within five years." The reality is this world has been set up for people like me to succeed. You see all these posts here about how terrible the Leet Code experience is but I've been working through all of the problem sets in math textbooks for fun since I was 5. I love this stuff and wish I'd have discovered it sooner. My family didn't even own a computer when I was a kid and I had no idea this even existed as a possible career field. But I won spelling bees when I was a kid. I won a television quiz show and got a perfect SAT score. I live for intellectual challenges and love being tested.

If that describes you as well, then great, the knowledge economy is your oyster. But no, that doesn't mean anyone can do it. Even at an elite engineering school and in industry since, I've seen very smart people struggle tremendously through something I figured out in minutes.

Doesn't mean I'm some kind of great or special person. Thanks to spine injuries I suffered in the service, I can hardly get out of bed some days, and for 99% of human history, I'd have been discarded as a worthless piece of trash holding back the rest of the tribe and been thrown to the wolves. I'm just really, really lucky I was born now and not during most of human history.

This is a horrible website and you will likely experience diminished tenure if you follow it's advice.

First, there is a complete lack of empathy for the person being labelled. What are the motivations and constraints that led to this person acting this way? A key question and the foundation for building healthy productive relationships.

Second, the 'solutions' are horrible. "Go around the person" is terrible advice for anyone on a team. If you follow the advice from this website you will end up being the problem.

I would argue that this website is almost sociopathic-- completely ignoring the perspectives of anyone but the reader and suggesting damaging solutions and labels.
