I believe this person to be trolling (I know, good faith and all that, but my spidy sense is tingling) but on this topic, I don't know how old you are but when I was a kid I didn't have 24/7 access to mutilation scat orgies on demand wherever I am. Last time I went to a porn site I didn't get asked my age, and several videos on the front page were filmed under the guise of siblings having sex.

I remember being in IRC chatrooms and having predators galore trying to get me to hang out with them. From my understanding, the problem hasn't gotten any better.

A parent would be smart to limit some internet access to their children. We ID at bars and brothels (where legal), the way I see it, the day my son is willing to learn to jump through hoops to access pornography is the day he is ready to watch pornography. I'm not all too concerned about them working around these things, but I'm concerned about easy unrestricted access.

Yes, if you remove a major part of the definition (intent) then it can fit whatever you want it to fit. Like Gino D'Acampo most famously said [1], if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

A saying I've heard from current/former sailors is, "Submarines are weapons, surface ships are targets". Surface ships, especially carriers, are very useful during peace time, but that during war time submarines can actually operate whereas surface ships must spend the majority of their time being evasive rather than offensive.

I've heard that actually hitting a carrier group at open sea is pretty tough with a cruise/ballistic missile, where are they? Where are they moving? Layered defenses etc. But what good is a bunch of ships steaming around hiding?

Wait, are you comparing a personal loan backed by an asset versus an unsecured personal loan from a bank? That seems pretty apples and oranges to me. I think the right comparison would be a broker letting you borrow money against stock, something they do all the time.
Alibaba was delaying going public because they wanted to get back the 40% they had sold to Yahoo. Their expected market cap was $200B, so the 40% that Yahoo owned would eventually be worth $80B. Hence MSFT offered $44B, which was a lowball offer.

Eventually Marissa made amends with Jack Ma and Yahoo was allowed to keep 24% of their stake, and then BABA went public. But before Marissa came on board, there was Carol Bartz who was a total fuck up of the highest order; a potty-mouthed prick if there was one. She pissed Jack off when they first met, and Jack took Alipay from out of under her. I'm surprised more people don't blame Bartz for the screwups at Yahoo.

Yes, it's a solution that requires a significant investment in (individual) infrastructure, but so does almost every other solution to anthropogenic climate change. If the solutions were totally easy, we'd have done them by now. Moving to heat pumps is on the easier end of the spectrum, though.
I would argue that the fact that GitHub themselves made the same error really tells us that yes the UI makes it way to easy to do this. Considering the number of repos on GitHub I wouldn't be surprised if someone made the same error every a couple of weeks (but typically not with such high stakes).

I would also say that post does not come across to me as he is only blaming GitHub.
that would break billions of scripts and confuse the hell out of hundreds of thousands or millions of users. Especially seems unnecessary since most distros ship an alias that makes the default `rm` command run with the `-I` or `-i` command.
This looks like "what if every DOM element was it's own library?". Seems like a total nightmare except in the extremes. For toy projects might be nice to not build widgets yourself, or if you're a large organization with many teams each owning reusable components.

For the vast majority of not-a-toy and not-Amazon projects this seems un-aligned?

It's unclear what this even does to facilitate component development. It doesn't seem to provide any primitives. Most of the docs appear to focus on how this can be your workspace, env management, dependency graph, build system, CI, package repo, and team management. Super over-zealous for a component ecosystem.

What is the ecosystem? A bunch of packages of dubious quality left un-maintained from github? We already have that. Maybe the 'search by feature' aspect is useful.

This feels like an index of NPM packages needlessly masquerading as a framework, but maybe also your whole dev workflow and toolchain, but also an "ecosystem" so there can be a subscription fee tacked on.
As the article noted, that absolutely would not fix the underlying problem at all.

No, they really haven't been doing much at all. They've been pretending to try and pretending to fail, then blaming "the evil rednecks". Unfortunately their base falls for it hook line and sinker.
Github UX team has a responsibility to its customers to make this error MUCH harder to make than it is
This UI is predicated on the notion that the user will connect the word you're asked to type to the repository you're intending to modify.

Most of the time that's true, or we'd be hearing about this happening all of the time. But 'most of the time' is not 'every time'. 'Almost always' is also not 'every time'. This is a distinction that Human Factors people make that victim-blaming nerds do not.

You've seen the video on Youtube (or Reddit) of the guy holding the fish throwing his phone into the lake? He didn't do that because he was stupid, he did it because he made an executive decision to, "hold fish, take picture with phone, throw it in the water" and then his motor cortex swapped 'it' to the wrong hand and went on autopilot.

If you don't like that example, I know of a highly secure data center in Seattle that had the emergency power cutoff button pushed not once but twice by different tenants. The first time was a pure accident of bumping it while doing maintenance. The second time someone opened an acrylic case and pushed the button because they thought "buttons open doors, I see a button. Sure is weird that it is covered with a box... hey why did the lights go out?" You have problem, you observe action or object that solves problems (maybe not this problem), monkey brain attempts action to see if problem is solved.

Typing in the repository name narrows the gap between intent and action, but it doesn't close it. Technically making someone type, "Make hippie/hippie private" would at least make them spell out the intent, narrowing it again. But it doesn't make them state the intent. Strictly speaking, they are being told to transcribe text. Whether they parse the text they're typing or not is a separate step, in two different parts of the brain. Any of those fails to connect and you have a catastrophic destruction. From a Precautionary Principle standpoint, the consequences are exactly the same with all three options, and only the likelihood has changed.

If you want to make a big dent in outcomes you have to also reduce the consequences, not just the opportunity. Making all actions reversible is the most conceptually simple and the most technically difficult option. Parceling out consequences over time is usually less difficult, and if you pick an order that makes the feedback immediate, then the person realizes quickly that what they meant and what they said didn't line up, before the real damage kicks in.

Github is built around git. The two biggest ways to permanently lose data from git, one of them is protected by permissions and may be off by default. The other one is automatic but takes 30 days. That's two very different precedents that have been set, and they picked the wrong one to emulate.
And that would totally not infringe on anything else, right.

Pilots and doctors are two great examples of customer pools where UI/UX actually gets a significant amount of attention because we all realize how high the stakes are. I imagine the FDA has zero tolerance for vendor software that is bundled with dark patterns that encourages doctors to promote the prescription of certain drugs over others... at the same time we have quizzes that have made it to HN multiple times[1] that reinforce the "correctness" of dark patterns.

UI/UX often gets overlooked as being unimportant, and, as a backend person I can definitely sympathize, but when you're building a product that people use for important things it is important to give UI/UX the attention it deserves.

9/10 times if you flip-flop, the way it is communicated is not with that level of nuance. So you can absolutely change your mind the correct way with given data, and the way it's communicated is with a headline that says "CDC/WHO FLIP FLOPS ABOUT VIRUS".

You don't get to decide how people respond to a flip-flop, so you're strongly incentivized to make them as quiet as possible because it's not valued in our society to learn from your mistakes. We just want people who were correct the first time.

If you pick a stock, and it goes up you claim you know something about it. If you pick a stock and it goes down and then up, you still point to the stock that you got correct the first time.

Also, if you read the article, it's not that they didn't think it was airborne. It was that they didn't believe in airborne viruses. The common wisdom was that viruses are too heavy to stay airborne long enough for them to think it possible to become sick from that.

On the bright side, I had no idea this existed, and now I'm going to use it quite a bit. And evangelize it to coworkers, who probably also don't know it exists, or one of them would have used it during a pairing session.

Ha!
In 2009 I surprised, how it could be, when in world crisis, raised sales of vip autos.

Then I study this, and release, that in crisis, middle class splits to two parts.

- One part become low-middle, and saves on every day things; instead of change auto every 3-5 years, switch to 7-8 years, etc.

- Other part become high-middle, and switched from middle class autos to vip.

But if count ALL sales pyramid, and paint distribution graphic, will see, that as it should be, main part of distribution decreased (middle part), but long tail see extremes, mathematics rules.

Tesla success is because it now associated with middle-top, so it eats sales of consumer-prestigious machines, like BMW 5/7 series, SLK, Porsche, top AUDI models.
If Tesla have not existed, will be ordinary splash of sales of these expensive brands.

It's easy to be an armchair engineer and say "well, obviously, don't make this mistake in the future".

As a species, we will always take shortcuts. If a mental pathway doesn't need to be exercised to do something, it won't be. If we see the same popup a hundred times, we're going to ignore the contents by the 100th time because we're used to it.

But it shouldn't be possible to make this mistake if this was designed properly and in a way that made it clear that what you're about to do is actually dangerous and not "dangerous" like the other dozen times you've seen the same message.

>To normalize people being open and explicit about their gender identity so that people with non-obvious gender identities can feel less conspicuous sharing theirs.

This oft-repeated stance is a very naive way of thinking in my view, if you're different from 99% of the population, then you're going to stand out no matter how much other people try simulating your superficial markers (while being obviously baseline themselves). If you look like a duck and walk like a duck, no amount of people saying "Quack!" when introducing themselves will prevent me from noticing you're different in a fundamental way from all those people pretending to be like you, all those people are managing to do is a semi-mockery of what they supposedly support. There are deeper patterns than language, humans aren't GPT-3 to be fooled by simplistic imitation games of speech patterns.

It's usually immediately obvious if a She/Her or a They/Them is matching the traditional features of the declared pronouns, it's literally millennia upon millennia of pattern-matching processes deeply hardwired into my mammalian brain and always running in the background, I couldn't stop it if I wanted to. I suspect most people are the same. You don't change reality by changing words, conspicuous things are conspicuous.

Not to mention the whole flawed framework of "Normalizing" and "Validating" things as worthy moral goals in the first place, why do things have to be common in order to be accepted ? So nakedly hive minded.

>They and them have been neutral-gender pronouns forever.

Common misconception, they are not gender-neutral in the modern sense, they refer to those of unkown gender. The gender is still one of the perfectly defined binary we all know, it's just not known or relevant to the speaker. There is no quantum wave function of genders waiting to collapse behind 17th century uses of 'They'. This misunderstanding manifests itself as soon as you encounter monstrosities like "They is looking for a new car to buy".

>Because most of it is thinly veiled transphobia.

Ah yes, transphobia, the cardinal sin, the unspeakable horror, the one thing you're not supposed to say[1]. Let's ban all mention of this atrocity, let's shun and exile All Who Dare Transgress.

This surely won't backfire at all, supressing dissent has a very good track record of eliminating it entirely.

So say you have a 13 year old daughter. She's naive, horny as all hell, on discord surrounded by a bunch of boys and probably plenty of grown men asking her to send nudes, which is the same as asking her to produce child pornography for their enjoyment. And she will, absolutely, 100% send nudes before she turns 18, to somebody.

Now imagine she is asked to meet up.

Sure, teach them. Explain your rules. Make things clear. But there are real people on the internet. Nice people and dangerous people. Just like the real world. You don't let them run around going to brothels and bars before they're adults, the same applies to the internet. Once they're adults the monitoring stops, of course, just like the real world.
The temperature you achieve is lower than for older gas heating equipment, so your radiators are likely not dimensioned correctly if you switch. You really want floor heating for heat pumps, and very well insulated walls. The moment the heat pumps can't provide enough heating you have to heat with electricity, and that is incredibly expensive especially in Germany.
Of course it is here with us to stay. The point is that if the initial design was different, there would be fewer headaches. We certainly have the power moving forward. And as discussed in the article, a prompt is not enough to deter a user doing something other than what they think they are doing.
> Especially seems unnecessary since most distros ship an alias that makes the default `rm` command run with the `-I` or `-i` command.

I would say that makes things even worse. Because it's just training you to rely on -i/I as a sensible default. One day, you'll encounter that one distro that doesn't have that, and it'll be the time where you really wish it were.
And it's a fallacy because there are many differences between them.

Honestly I don't think it would have prevented this. If you're muscle memorying past warning signs the text on the warning sign isn't going to matter much.

My point was purely about UX, obviously there are technical solutions to this problem.
I meant to focus on the cascade part of the equation here. For example, lets say `stars` are foreign keyed (FKed henceforth) to repos, and (say) `X` are FKed to `stars`, and `Y` is FKed to `X`. Then if you do a "hard" delete of the repo status (or the stars), then we can set that to cascade to `X` and `Y` as well. Otoh, I don't think you can apply a cascade like that automatically when you're just changing a value (which is how a soft delete would be implemented, ig). Can you? Is there some really cool hook that allows this?
