This post seems to suggest that a SaaS startup would consider creating their own SAML implementation. If a SaaS startup is considering creating a homebrew SAML implementation, they are doing it wrong.

When it comes to SSO, "buy" instead of "build", and focus on the core value proposition of the service with that saved time and resources.
I contrast these reasons with the FurAffinity announcement from a week ago[0]:

It’s one thing to learn from a teacher who knows the material and a wholly different experience to learn from someone who knows the material.

My literature professor in high school knew literature. His class was amazing. He spent each period bringing the material to life and telling stories from authors’ lives, the background behind each story and poem, additional anecdotes etc, and really put the whole thing in context. Then for the last 10 minutes he explained what we needed to know for the standardized curriculum.

It was great
> Shelve shipped with mercurial 2.8 in 2013.

Not really. Mercuria's shelve extension existed for a while but it only saw its way into Mercurial Core and made available by default with the release of Mercurial 5.1.

I feel it's disingenuous to clam that a feature was provided by an application if it's only provided as an add-on that requires the user to explicitly enable.
While I'm inclined to agree with your point and I do think that some languages really are just more difficult, I think it should be pointed out that something like 54% of adults in the USA read below a sixth grade level. Many of them (about half) are functionally illiterate.

> There are places where the relationship isn't that of a boss with their boot on their employees' neck.

Indeed! However, school isn't exactly one of those places. If anything, it's designed to prepare people for that corporate life and to be cogs in that machine. I refer to the explicit population-management goals of the founders of modern education in the US — figures such as Horace Mann, Barnas Sears, W.R. Harper, and Edward Thorndike.
Given that roma people stealing children is an age old stereotype (think of it as similar to jewish people and blood libel) I don't think the books comes out ahead in its portrayal of racism/xenophobia. The decision to change Esmeralda's race in the later adaptations was not made on a whim, it was made to remove the confused messaging/racist stereotyping.
Seems like, in aggregate, the question is whether adding variance to outcomes is net positive or negative?

Some students will receive multiple consecutive years of excellent instruction, others will receive multiple consecutive years of subpar instruction. Does the upside contain innovation and social mobility? Does the downside contain increased disillusionment with school and education broadly?

We pull the goalie when the odds are against us and increased variance is desirable. Is this such a case? Sadly, it may be.

- deterrent to car ownership with no street parking

- general culture of valuing the collective good

I think with the US it would be interesting to compare specific US cities instead of the entire thing given cultural / geographical differences between cities here.
> If you code goes fast because it's doing undefined things the compiler strips away, that's a structural bug in the application, in my view.

I think that's the inverse of what UB-based optimizations do. Those optimizations rely on you _never_ doing what is considered UB. That's what makes the optimization correct. The problem is that, in practice, what's usually considered UB is not something that the language can always statically ensure you're not doing, and so when you do make a mistake, you land in a situation where the optimization seems to make things worse, instead of protecting you.

> How does a white middle class male answer?

Diversity doesn't only mean race. It can mean cultural backgrounds, experiences, values and viewpoints. It can mean creative vs. analytic thinkers, artistic vs. not, leadership, extroversion, unusual contributions to society, and so on. If you're a physics expert in a team of math experts, you add diversity.
Hear hear - I want for my kids to be independent and for me to not be their damn taxi for 18 years. A car-dependent home is a prison for kids.

Do you disagree that many advocates for institutionalized DEI have a shallow definition of diversity? That is my experience.

You are correct that if the author's definition does not match the one in the wild, their argument falls apart, but by and large, I don't think that's going on here.

For what its worth, though I think we might disagree at some core level about this topic, I do appreciate your way of reasoning through your criticism. It's amazing how many disagreements start at the level of definitions without the disagreeing parties ever reconciling, or even acknowledging, the problem of messy definitions.
Oh, I guess to be honest I thought your example was so stupid I didn't feel the need to respond. Now that you reply this way, I admit maybe I am just totally confused as to what you mean.

Why would there be any conflict between "I should try to not let shit get to me" and "Also, I should campaign for there to be less shit around to get to me"?

Those are just two different ways to deal with having shit, and one in no way impedes the other.

Am I misunderstanding your claim?

I mainly agree with the OP. While they don't come out and say it, most on the DEI frontlines execute on the idea that the fix to the fact that "those people have been discriminated against, well, forever" is not to do away with discrimination completely, but rather to discriminate actively against races/genders/orientations that haven't been discriminated against in the same way.

This strikes me as faulty thinking. Revenge-driven justice fails; two wrongs don't make a right. Either you're against discrimination or you're only against discrimination against <protected class X>, which makes you a discriminator.

Anyone who followed that "Activism as a Vocation" link here a few days ago can probably agree that the fix to the current cancel-culture chaos of academia isn't going to happen within academia. It's about mass media dollars. School administrators, like the rest of us, are just manipulated "useful idiots."
Are you implying that people in favor of and/or implementing affirmative action members share some culpability in far-right terrorist acts? Huh. In my book, deciding to leave civil society for untargeted violence against innocent people of some other group immediately puts all the responsibility for your actions into your lap. You don't get to say it was because of some vague ideological pressure at that point.
No, this is definitely not about money, and it's not even about ideology - it's petty backstabbing vindictiveness. These are adults beating each other up on the playground.

Framework is just making a laptop that is both repairable and modular. These just happen to be use cases for it. I find business laptops like Thinkpads "repairable enough" and am okay with the upsides and downsides of a fixed selection of ports, so I don't own a Framework. But my friend owns one because they would rather have a limited number of very customizable ports - for example, when they need to charge the Framework while connecting to a TV, they can swap around the USB-C and HDMI ports to the side closer to each. And when they need to dock to a bunch of stuff at their desk, a USB-C dock is a more suitable solution. This obviously isn't for everyone, but it satisfies their niche.
> So here's where I'm stuck: On the one hand I totally understand the objections to categorizing people based on things that won't affect their job performance per se -- skin color, gender, who they are attracted to, etc. But on the other hand, those people have been systematically discriminated against, well, forever.

I think we get into trouble when we start treating individuals as mere tokens of their groups. To pick on your comment for example, "those people have been systematically discriminated against forever" is true at the collective level, but is very likely not true at the individual level. There's no justice in choosing a well-off black candidate on the basis that other black people disproportionately experienced slavery slavery, poverty, Jim Crow, etc, especially when it comes at the expense of a white person who had a very hard life.

Moreover, even if we insist on tokenizing people, we rarely treat people as the median of their group, and instead we treat whites, men, etc as though they have the privilege of board room executives, politicians, kings, etc (e.g., arguments that a given male has privilege based on the observation, "men have ruled for millennia").

> And there is another thing too -- you can't deny that a black woman has had a vastly difference life experience than a white man, even if those two people have all the same job relevant qualifications otherwise. And frankly I'd rather have the black woman on the team to offer that perspective, especially for product decisions, because they might have interesting things to say.

I emphatically deny this, especially the idea that a black woman is going to have interesting things to say, but a white man won't. There is far more diversity within a race than between them, including diversities of experience and how we process those experiences (for example, even if you have two people of the same race with similar adverse experiences, one could come out of those experiences with additional resilience and another with a trauma response). If you want interesting/different experiences, there are much better proxies (e.g., if your team is coastal and well-educated, a well-educated rural candidate is probably going to offer a lot more diversity than a black woman who came from the same pipeline as the rest of the company). What does a white man from rural Appalachia have in common with a white man from the Bay Area that you can conclude that neither will have interesting thoughts?

Moreover, if your company is super ideological about diversity, people who don't want to be regarded as tokens probably opt out, and you end up with a bunch of people with different skin color but similar viewpoints (and anyone with a unique viewpoint is probably afraid to speak it). Not exactly a way to optimize for "interesting thoughts".
I do have a vague recollection of having a lot of "fun" running Linux on an old laptop that for some reason had a PCMCIA WiFi card(I think the onboard one might have been dead or something? Or it was so damn old it never had one).

Harder times, sure. But also simpler, because at least the mainstream distros back then weren't so damn convoluted and it could never take me more than 30 seconds to change the DNS servers permanently. I set up NextDNS on my Pop OS laptop recently and it took me 2 hours of dicking around with systemd.

Starting to yearn back to Arch Linux again... At least with that I actually know what I'm running under the hood...
Just as a sample, I used to have a 3.5 mile commute in NYC. It's about 45 minutes by walking, 25 minutes by bike (google maps says 15 minutes, I never did it that fast), 12 minutes by subway, or 19 minutes by driving. That's with current speed limits. New York City is so clogged with traffic that walking is actually competitive with driving, and biking would be faster than driving currently if the traffic lights weren't timed for an imaginary 25-35mph speed limit (that is never achieved).

Out in the suburbs, the distances are long and speed does matter. That makes the situation very tough; 15mph speed limits are going to severely devalue your real estate investment. I really have no answer for a sane transition here, and that's a big problem American society faces.

(On the other hand, the ocean consuming New York City is going to severely devalue real estate investments, too.)
These studies are conducted using nutrition surveys typically given out every year (or five) asking the subject about their eating habits over the last period.

> You don't need to be [...] vegan

And that from a vegan!

I personally find what humans do to animals so heartless and disgusting (totally destroying animal lives to have a little pleasure in the mouth; while it is not necessary), that I regularly compare those indulging in animal food to peadosexuals: they destroy someones life over some short sensual pleasure.

I'm on the contrary: veganism should be a moral baseline.
I'm in some Discord chats for various things, and they often have a channel where people can post their artwork. Often, people spend weeks or months on a piece of fan art that's related to the Discord topic, or they draw a picture of the "leaders" for fun.

Lately it's been just getting drowned out by people posting ridiculous AI art where they try to get absurd results. It was interesting and fun at first, but after seeing probably as low as 20 of these images I can tell they're all a similar sort of thing.

I feel bad for people posting their art getting drowned out by this, and these aren't even remotely art related groups.

Connectors inherently need to reach the outside of the device, and they're all different shapes and sizes. At a minimum you need to reserve as much external space, per module, as you expect the largest module will need to expose.

For devices that don't have external connectors, modular devices are already common, like M.2.

Yep. The worries over "Am I just a diversity hire?" are a real concern. :(

I really wish that applicants were required to give less information, not more. I don't want to know your name, or how old you are, or where you're from. I just want to know what your credentials are.

Personally, I feel like criminal records, outside of specific work like working with weapons, children/elderly, or law enforcement, should not be asked on applications. If they served their time, let them live their lives.

It's incredibly frustrating that there's all of these extraneous attributes we're supposed to hem and haw over, like we're choosing the best fruit in the market. It's human beings, and they should be treated in as fair and neutral manner as feasibly possible. Best man wins.

But this isn't an academic context; this is a substack essay published on the internet for some internet denizens to read. In this case it makes a lot of sense to ask whether or not the essay succeeds at being persuasive, in the way it makes sense to critique whether or not a speech is delivered well. A public speaker can make a great point, but if they vomit on themselves halfway through the point, it makes sense to go "well, maybe we should address to vomiting thing" instead of "disgust in someone's vomiting on themselves is a failure of the audience".
Context switching has a cost. HUGE cost. It takes me over an hour to get “in to the zone” when interrupted from deep work. Emphasis on deep work, Im not talking about writing emails (although that can fall in this category too, not going to judge other professions). It’d take about three interruptions to ruin an entire workdays worth of productivity for me, which is very easy to do in an office environment. I paid a steep price all those years in an office, never again.
All of you commenting seem to miss the fundamental point that I made: People who appreciate art for art's human aspects will want HUMAN, emotionally derived art, not a printable piece of AI-generated pixel-vomit that can then be mounted and varnished. I have nothing against anyone doing this and I absolutely don't support banning any technology that lets people explore new frontiers of creativity, but I don't see even AI-connected devices that can physically paint things replacing artists as imaginative human creators of concepts and emotional ideas expressed for other humans. To go on about how an AI could eventually paint or sculpt and so forth from its own algorithms is to miss the point entirely about this specific type of creation and the extremely old human desire to enjoy it.

Perhaps to be expected from a site so frequented by many people who spend their working lives "optimizing" X or Y gimmick for major tech giants and viewing other humans largely as simple parts of a data gathering landscape.
