I'm sympathetic to this point of view, but the effect of social media is that people are effectively speaking into a bullhorn for the whole world to hear. Once they've done so it's hard to keep that out of work.

Let's say someone, call them Frank, expresses on twitter that he thinks women aren't fit for work outside the home and his coworkers discover he said this. At the very least, Frank's female coworkers will almost certainly not feel comfortable working with him anymore knowing his opinions. They're unlikely to believe he respects them, and since they don't believe that they likely won't want to collaborate with him. If Frank's work requires collaboration (as most does), he's now hamstrung himself at work.

From the employer's perspective: Frank is now less effective at work. Frank's coworkers who are uncomfortable may try to leave teams Frank is on, or avoid work that might force them to collaborate with Frank. The result is organizational chaos and Frank becomes a drag on the company.

The natural response here, I think, is to let Frank go. It's hard to avoid it because there aren't just social pressures to fire him, but economic ones.

The above isn't a thought experiment, I've watched more than one version of the above happen. I just don't really see how this separation can be maintained.
Basically all critical reporting dredges up another's darker side and it's important.

They're not easy direct comparisons though. Alcohol personality changes are (now) fairly simple compared with the wide variety of substances and possible behaviours.

The whole approach is wrong. Criminalise the behaviour, not the drugs and then people can work out which drugs they're compatible with.

Some people are great when drunk, some are violent arseholes. The same is true for other substances.
>Caffeine+Theanine is the third highest recommended home treatment for focus (behind exercise and sleep) on r/nootropics for whatever that's worth.

I'm surprised modafinil isn't no. 1

I don't use it regularly to avoid developing a tolerance, but that thing has a profound impact on the ability to focus and power through, nothing else I've tried comes even close. I guess speed/amphetamine but that gets me euphoric and I notice elevated heart rate, I don't feel any different on modafinil other than focused and tiredness being blocked.
This is inspirational! Hope to see you move onto great things after your CS degree :)
Not really related to this tool, but Terraform: We are hiding a few services behind a vpc and they are therefore not reachable by Terraform Cloud without the Business plan which is required to get an agent we can install within the vpc. I cannot use ip restrictions because HashiCorp doesn't expose their ip's. I filled out their contact form 7 days ago and they haven't returned yet. It's likely just a matter of waiting a bit longer, but being this dependent on one organization for our entire infrastructure is starting to get a bit frightening, especially if it's going to take months before their sales department get the time to reach out.
Right - if she just said dumb nonsense, the school wouldn't have fired her. She was racist against a protected class under Federal employment law, who she certainly interacts with -- how could they possibly keep her on staff?

And suing the website for exposing your racism? Why would she think she has any right to anonymity while spewing trash on someone else's platform?
As I wrote above, OpenGL is an exeptionally bad counter example to Vulkan because it's just a massive soup of knobs and dials. D3D11 and Metal had this specific problem fixed already, and should have been used as base for an OpenGL successor instead of going all radical with Mantle.

Vulkan is basically a GPU-programming API with some support for triangle rendering, great for compute workloads, not so great for rendering triangles. At the very least, Khronos should provide additional layers on top of Vulkan to simplify traditional rendering tasks, basically providing one or more optional API layers that are closer to Metal and D3D11.

IMO browsing to the location first, and then creating the thing in that spot, is fuzzy search. The equivalent to "plonking a shovel" would be knowing exactly where a file should go in the hierarchy and touching/creating it with a single invocation from the top-level.

For what it's worth, the static analysis infrastructure we built for Dart was designed this way and, I think, existed slightly before LSP. We used it to provide a nice Dart IDE experience in the Dart Editor (a custom build of Eclipse), IntelliJ, Emacs, Vim, etc. without having to reimplement everything multiple times.
The STOCK Act is supposed to prevent this. But the same politicians who passed the law and had the media cover it as much as possible, then later quietly passed another that the law would not be enforced.

Terrors; visions of blood; intense paranoia; and the certainty that the experience is never going to end. That's not the surfacing of unresolved 'stuff'. That's being poisoned.

In my youth, I took a lot of acid, and I loved it. but I never thought it should be legalised; it's dangerous stuff.
I think software engineer is a great title.

First of all, it's always "software engineer", never just "engineer". And I don't know if everyone who works in software should have it (that seems silly) but I don't see a problem with the title at all. It's a cool sounding title that's been around for decades at this point. Many people have this job title, have degrees in software engineering, and have built their entire careers with the name. It's way too late to be gatekeeping the "engineer" word.

I really don't share any of the skepticism other people in this thread seem to have. It seems overly pedantic and ultimately pointless.

> In this case they were pushing some rather racist discourse. They said in response to an article about Muslims "Scum. Deport them. They hate us. Get rid of them."

That's better described as religious intolerance, not quite the same as racism per se. Not that this makes the attitude any less problematic, far from it. OP is ironically projecting her own attitude onto Muslims by saying that they all hate us for not sharing their religion.

I really like what Firefox represents, but we can't just recommend Firefox when many websites don't work well o Firefox.

It might not be firefox's fault and I believe we should not endorse website browser exclusivity, but the fact is that if you have to use teams for instance, it is either the terribly inneficient and bug riddled app or the browser version which only supports calls on chromium based browsers.

Maybe you have to use Chrome and you have to use that particular extension.

I don't agree with him, but his post seems pretty straightforward and easy to understand. You're reasoning that we should fire people based on WHAT they say, that's an argument you're making about how to go about firing people.
You're assuming good faith where it's very clear that none exists.

if you want to work towards any resolution you must always assume good faith, otherwise why even bother talking to them.

There's no name calling in there, only factually accurate descriptions.

scumbag is name calling. whether it's justified is irrelevant. again, you must always assume good faith, otherwise there is no point in interacting at all.

> you are closing the door to any sort of constructive resolution

No. Let's be honest here: Muse did that when they blocked me initially.

before that you accused them of including spyware. that's where you closed the door to a constructive response.
yes, you were asking the community if they agree with that interpretation. but you asked it in front of the core developers. not the right place for that question. and it wasn't clear enough that that was your question.

> i don't even know what you are asking there, and what kind of answer you expect from the developers.

I've addressed this in my other comments here.

yes, saw that. clear now. i wasn't able to see that from your initial message.

But I'd also point out that the reactions from the community are overwhelmingly in agreement with my assessment.

that doesn't excuse the tone. and that is not just addressed to you but to everyone who is just yelling at the developers instead of constructively pointing out the errors of their ways.

> if we want to resolve this we, as concerned users, need to voice our concerns in such a way that the developers actually have a chance to make the necessary corrections and regain our trust.

Again, you're assuming good faith where it's very clear that none exists. I'd argue that if we want to resolve this we, as concerned users, need to support an audacity fork ASAP.

then do that and be done with it. if there is no point in talking to the original developers then why do it? especially in that tone?

the civil thing would have been to just go with one of the forks and make statements like: "i supporting this fork because i disagree with the direction of development in audacity. the fork is removing any telemetry and related features because those are not welcome" there. end of story. nothing else is needed to add.

You have clearly not looked into this situation in enough depth. Muse have had and squandered multiple opportunities to regain our trust.

i am not disputing any of the accusations made against them. i take issue with the form and the tone in which those accusations are being made.

if you want the developers and owners of audacity to listen, then walk away from their project, and make it clear that they are loosing their userbase. but don't yell at them. that's not helping. i would not listen to that. and i don't expect them to listen to that either.
I'm sure the muslim students would believe that the comment written by the account she controlled wasn't written by her.
I mean, yes and no. It's a martial arts system in the sense that it incorporates combative mechanics, and I do know of people who attempt to incorporate it into combat against resisting opponents, but some people take issue w/ calling it a martial art because of quack "masters" claiming to be invincible (but then getting their ass kicked within seconds by some MMA dude), and also partly because the popular calisthenic variety is not combat-oriented.

IMHO the biggest dissonance between western idea of "intense" vs eastern is that westerners think of intensity as optimizing for burst amplitude (in martial arts' case, specifically honing combative prowess), whereas easterners think of it as a matter of consistent holistic development (core strength, balance, attention, etc).
I typically grab whatever is reasonably priced. Right now I have the NOW branded 100mg capsules. I avoid the larger dosages for reasons mentioned in sibling comments.

>>> Open the wrong link and it takes you 40 seconds

There's nothing in JIRA that take anywhere near 40 seconds to open.

Congress has some of the richest people in America. I’ve always been intrigued by that.
Personal Skype is annoying because it expires credits, so every couple months I have to log in and send a single text to spend some money.

All my other Skyping is just messaging and calls for free so it’s lame that they keep trying to expire the money I spent.

Skype for business is a giant ball of shit and perhaps the worse messenger product I’ve ever used, and I’ve used them all since IRC and text in 1993. Here’s how it sucks:
-Calls and video consume large bandwidth
-Client will peg cpu at 100% for unknown reasons while idling
-Sometimes client will freeze in the background and not take calls or IMs
-can’t drag and drop images into chat. Sends them as attachments
-not reliable. Calls will drop. Individuals on calls will drop. Screen share works or doesn’t work unpredictably. Video works or doesn’t work unpredictably.
-Messages aren’t delivered, sometimes with an error that says “prepend couldn’t be reached so message wasn’t delivered” even though the user shows as online and green
-Sometimes that message actually was delivered
-Mobile does not sync chats with desktop

Instant messaging is so simple and using Skype is worse than nothing. I’d rather email than have a tool that works 90% of the time. Imagine is SMS sometimes didn’t deliver messages. Who would use that.

Coupled with Skype being the reason why all other instant messenger apps were banned from orgs. In 2001, my company was using yahoo messenger, for free, without any of the problems above with 200 people IMing hundreds of times a day (although we never video or voice called). In 2021, my org pays for Teams and Skype and we use a mix of SMS/iMessage and a million other things because no one IMs any more.

I'd love to see a "why" somewhere in there... telling me that its syntax is similar to Ruby and that it has a type system (which Ruby also has as of version 3, yeah?) isn't particularly helpful in telling my why the language is compelling.

I don't really see a "why use Crystal instead of Ruby" (or any other language, really) explanation anywhere. Maybe the things listed on the main page are meant to be that? Even if it's not on the main page a comparison would be nice in the docs (https://crystal-lang.org/docs/) or the reference (https://crystal-lang.org/reference/)
"One truthseeker comment that Benton found, responding to a 2017 Gateway Pundit piece about a Muslim protest at Trump Tower, was especially abhorrent: “Scum. Deport them. They hate us. Get rid of them.”

Calling an ethnicity of people "scum" and to "deport" them is harmful behavior. Every time something like this comes up the actual matter gets downplayed as if it were "just a comment". When this individual quite literally is being 100% racist with intent to cause harm. Perhaps were all too young to remember what happens when people like that group together.
> With Python, I first have to ensure that the page I'm reading is no more than 2-3 years old, then the copy and paste requires me to re-fix the code, since the syntax is too brittle to stand up to whitespace changes.

I find that I also often have to re-fix the code because so many Python example writers present their examples as REPL sessions, with the code I want to actually copy littered with ">>>" prompts and the output from each individual line's execution.
Googling the title didn't find me any full-text PDFs, but sci-hub should have it.
Yes of course using a priveleged position to dox someone is condemnable. I'll admit, I missed where Joshua Benton managed to identify Francesca Viola.

However that wasn't what I was taking issue with in the parent comment.

I think it's reasonable to expect however that:

- Journalists should be able to discuss each others views

- People who work at tech platforms should not dox their users (without a warrant)

- There is an acceptable point where an employer can fire their employees for what views they express in their private life.

So in all, is what Joshua did wrong here? I'd say so, but only because he doxxed a user.
Is what the University did wrong here? It sucks where the information came from, but probably not. But even if you were to argue that there was, I find what Joshua did here to be largely immaterial towards that point, it's only how her employer chooses to react that is relevant.

Perhaps, but I’ve never had these problems with Zoom or Discord or Slack or Jabber or anything else. So it’s a Skype problem as far as I’m concerned.
In the US that standard is only applied to public figures. For a private figure, the speaker can commit defamation if they do not exert reasonable care to ensure that the statement is true.
Perhaps someone could create an index fund that tracks trades by members of Congress. Though on second thought it might not be very useful since there can be quite a delay between the transaction and when it's disclosed.
