So what you seem to be suggesting is that the people who don't like a thing (codes of conduct) and go out of their way to try to weaponize them should be allowed to get their way (CoC should go away because of people like these).

There's plenty of precedent for people advocating for this: spousal abuse, animal abuse and sexual abuse are all areas where people said that laws about such things would result in widespread abuse of the laws and would do little to correct the problems the laws aimed to address.

We have that now with gun laws in the United States. People rather speciously say that new laws and the enforcement of those laws will be too intrusive, so we just really shouldn't have them.

(I don't want to have a discussion about gun laws specifically - an overwhelming majority of the United States want strong gun laws, and those who are OK with multiple mass shootings every week really have no compelling arguments beyond vaguely invoking "the Second Amendment", but I imagine there's plenty of overlap between people who think CoC are bad would and people who don't want new gun laws. I use gun laws in this example because of the weakness of the anti-gun law arguments.)

But what's really telling here are statements like this: "who claim to love open source but cannot stand the fact that anyone really is welcome"

So the people who are breaking CoC and making people feel unwelcome are somehow more important than the people who are enforcing CoC and making the CoC breakers feel unwelcome. Got it.

> I find it so much easier to understand. I don't have to useState/useEffect/whatever, I just assign variables and the component re-renders the relevant parts whenever I assign a new value.

What's frustrating for me is that I'm so used to thinking in hooks that when I first gave Svelte a try, it didn't click. And I knew that was wrong, lol. The release of Svelte 4 is good timing, I might have a use-case at work for a small project to try it out, so I'm going to give it another shot.
Nope. Was talking about something hypothetical with a 100% responsibility removal rate.

But with ethanol we tried that once, didn't work out well as you tend to create a police state to prevent it as it's easy to make.
I do not understand why you keep going back to morals here. Google's ad policy is very, very clear:

These anti-abortion activist ads provide misleading information about the products and/or services they provide. No moral judgement required: they are misleading ads.

Which is the most updated course or book that someone should use in 2023 to get into deep learning in a really deep way? So that they can understand and start implementing research papers and maybe even work on producing new research.
Seems like a fundamentally unsolvable problem. These techinques use a spectrum of colours for deeply nested brackets. (If you only have one or two levels of brackets then you don't need the colourisation in the first place.) But colourblind users fundamentally don't have that many choices of colours to pick from in the first place.

CoC is not a contract. It's a non-binding promise that the project leadership will take actions up to banning someone if harassment happens.
Yep. I don't know if I'd do it with an Apple Vision either but I do know almost for sure that I wouldn't with a Quest 3 because of the controllers. Whether there's other reasons that will prevent me from doing it is unknown to me.
Yup I do the same. The key is an app that doesn't use the "movie theater" gimmick but just gives you a screen you can resize arbitrarily and move in space to vertically above your head.

It truly is a glorious viewing experience, and if you make the screen large enough you effectively get full 1080p detail.
I'm in this stage right now. I'm being moved from an engineering to being trained for an "architect" role, and it sucks. I look at my todo list and most of it involves emailing somebody about something, or preparing a presentation for some council. It feels like I can't actually do anything.

Like when I was an engineer, boom move get things done produce actual results, something would be deployed and value would be delivered, now, if I want to get something done, engage with two or three other teams to do something, talk with their team leads, then the actual engineers, then have a meeting to actually discuss requirements, and what should be a simple program that takes 3 api calls, turns into a 3 month long project.
If you can make something 10k x faster you didn’t so much fix it as just switch it to working correctly as it should have in the first place.

VSCode is a good tool, but it’s unbearably slow, and it breaks my heart that so much development has converged on something written in electron with such a low regard for performance by any measure.
>> All of us are sitting back three years later pontificating on how science overstepped its boundaries, politics used it as a club, and/or screwballs rose to prominence with (sometimes) baseless conspiracy theories[1]. Here in 2023 we're acting like people engaged in these acts mainly with negative intent. I think rather we were a society that was a afraid and didn't know what to do.

"Science" wasted a lot of its credibility by allowing itself to be "used as a club" to imbue certain policy positions with unwarranted confidence. In hindsight, that was a pretty bad mistake. Now people literally use "I believe in science" to state allegiance to certain political positions, which is not good.
> But the same can be said about waterfall

Not really. Waterfall was never a serious process.

It's not "one" success story, but an extremely consistent pattern.

> any failure as "no true agile".

Again not so. If you're burning down Epics specified in Jira from your one year plan while doing daily standup status meetings, but not following any of the technical practices, you simply really aren't being agile at all.

And that seems to be the vast majority.

The technical practices are the meat, and the heart of the matter. Most of the rest is Fauxgile and somewhere between worthless and harmful.

I had posted here before and the thread blew up. Now I am ready with the product

Here is the thread in question... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36227470

and this video that I had posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-873SkJ2RI

Here is what it does...

Before you write any content, you want to know what questions people ask on Google, Who is ranking on the top 10 and what other keywords do they rank for?, and 'Google Suggestions' for the phrase. So I created a tool that does that based on all the interest I received.

It is at https://www.keywordranking.me/

It's been a whirlwind last couple of weeks since the idea popped into my head till the launch but a post about the journey is for another day.

Hope you like what I have managed to build. I would love the feedback from you guys
Ha, tell me you've been a full stack dev for over 10 years without actually doing so... ;)
Not good at all... I have about 20 years in the industry, I've submitted ~60 online applications over the last 16 days and have received ~15 rejections (with one arriving nearly instantaneously)!
The worry du jour is screen time. Before that it was too much sugar. Before that it was too much TV. Before that it was too much sex. Before that it was too much counterculture. Before that it was too much pop culture. The list goes on and on and on and on and on.

The product being sold to parents is fear. And boy, oh boy do they have the antidote to sell you!

Having raised 3 kids it's mostly pretty easy:

- Make sure they're eating real food. They can have some junk food so long as they're actually filling up on real food.

- Ditto with water. Make sure they're drinking water. Limit (but don't eliminate) access to soda and apple juice.

- Make sure they're moving around and playing, preferably outdoors as much as possible.

- Make sure they're playing with other kids.

- Don't hover while your kids are playing. (Actually, try not to be a helicopter parent.)

- Let your kids handle their own disagreements.

- Teach your kids not to tattle. In our house it was the one tattling who got in trouble. Of course there are exceptions: blood, fire, property damage.

Everything else will largely work itself out. Just remember, your kids will mimic you - they will do what you do, not what you say. If you think they're consuming too much screen time, then take a look at your screen time. You want them to read more? Well, how much do you read? They're watching way more than they're listening and they have a keen sense for hipocracy.

So, congratulations and good luck!

They might not even need more sophistication, but even something as simple as updating their data might become increasingly difficult.

The initial data set was essentially created by undiscriminatingly crawling the internet. This worked reasonably well because up until now most of the internet was - in one way or another - created by humans. This is no longer the case, as LLMs are incredibly attractive when you want to create spam.

Anyone who wants to get any general dataset past 2022 will have to deal with the reality that a significant amount of crawled content will have been written by a LLM and is therefore essentially unusable for training. Facts are useless when they have been hallucinated!
Maybe this is why nothing ever gets done in higher ed.
Fair. It’s valid to present options. The problem here is not that pro life orgs show up as ads in abortion searches.

It is quite a bit shit that pro life organizations advertise themselves as abortion clinics. You can see it in the screenshot in the article, the ad is talking about abortion pill, no mention of pro life whatsoever. It is literally indistinguishable from actual abortion clinics, and it is by design.

Why do we need to trick women into it? Why do you have to wait weeks for your appointment with a fake abortion clinic only to find out hours into your appointment that they will actually not provide an abortion?
Not doing intoxicants doesn't make you boring. But a lot of people do drugs because they're bored.
Completely agreed. I also see it as a side effect of leadership that's not IT savvy. The person setting policy, if they don't understand the problem and risks, often picks solutions that make it 'somebody's elses problem'.

Seems like this is based on a lot of broken metrics. When working for a big company in an office there were often days when key contributors were off their peak for days at a time because of a commute that had a big crash delay or a road rage incident. Then there was a prolonged time during which key developments stalled because a critical contributor dropped his bike in the fast lane. He did recover, but still does not remember what exactly happened. And all of this super powers development and the bottom line? Some spreadsheet really needs a bigger externalities line item.
They could, but their justification had to be "I don't like you". The CoC process is designed to enable exclusion via opaque committees who justify their decisions by reference to vague and subjective criteria. It makes the people doing it feel better by allowing them to pretend everyone signed up for whatever random thing they decided today, and thus shield themselves from criticism.
BDSM doesn't "make women slaves".

Either women or men can choose to take submissive roles, and that is their free choice among practitioners. Likewise, either women or men can choose dominance (in fact it is popular for a dominatrix to be paid for her services.)

The BDSM community (not merely people who have a fetish) is very careful about safety and respect for others. There are safewords and failsafes and safety checks at every stage of the scene.

I think it is dismissive and close-minded to say that such a community "makes women slaves"; it shows that you are an outsider and that you know nothing of their customs, morals, or attitudes.
"“Starting up a new, very small international airline has certainly been done before, with no examples of success,” says Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst"

One argument the founder lists is "[People] really go out of their way to fly on an A380." which is then countered by the statistic that already 60% of existing A380 are back flying, with more going back into service every year.

Founder then doubles down "When I went and visited every country in the world, every single person including my parents told me it was impossible to do"

Maybe it is impossible?

The problem is that Open Source / Free Software is a Brand. I don't mean registered trademark, I mean a term that denotes specific things to people. CGP Grey's Pirate [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YFeE1eDlD0] video actually does a really good job explaining what a brand is the core sense.

Open source means things and people are right to complain when your license doesn't mean that. So you can have your Source-available licenses, use them if it's right for your project, but stop trying to freeboot off the OS/FS brand.

Art has always been a powerful medium of expression, allowing individuals to unleash their creativity and bring their imaginations to life. However, for those who feel intimidated by a blank canvas or struggle with drawing skills, there is a wonderful solution that combines artistic expression with a sense of ease: Paint by Numbers. It is a popular art technique that provides a structured and accessible way for people of all skill levels to create stunning masterpieces.

One of the most beloved themes in the world of this concept is cats. The charm and elegance of feline creatures have captured the hearts of many artists and art enthusiasts. Paint by Number cat kits offer a delightful way to depict these graceful creatures, whether you prefer a realistic portrayal or a more whimsical interpretation. With a variety of cat breeds and poses to choose from, you can create a unique piece of art that captures the essence of your favorite feline friend.

However, cats are not the only animals that can be brought to life through the magic of this art form. The world of animals is vast and diverse, and so are the options for animals painting by numbers kits. From majestic lions to adorable pandas, from lively dolphins to serene horses, there is an array of choices available to cater to every artistic taste. Whether you prefer a wild safari scene or a serene nature setting, you can find an animal kit that will inspire you to create a captivating piece of art.

While this fun pastime provides a simplified approach to painting, the quality of the tools used can greatly impact the final result. One essential tool for any painter, whether beginner or advanced, is a set of high-quality oil paint brushes. These brushes are known for their versatility and ability to create rich, textured effects on the canvas. They allow artists to blend colors smoothly, create intricate details, and achieve a professional finish. Investing in a good set of brushes can enhance your painting experience and elevate the quality of your artwork.

When engaging in this art style, it's important to remember that the journey is just as important as the destination. Painting can be a therapeutic and meditative process, allowing you to escape from the demands of daily life and immerse yourself in a world of colors and creativity. It offers a unique opportunity to express your emotions, thoughts, and ideas through visual means.
I assume they mean external dependencies when they say that. I'm not sure what the point of the statement would be if it included internal ones.
The iteration loop is MUCH faster using tools like Figma for design.

Most places use consistent patterns for padding, space, etc. But a lot of things need adjusted visually for polish. Tweaking things in devtools is fine for quick things, but can be lost on browser refresh.

Tools like "CSS Pro" make it easier. Saving devtools state makes it easier. But neither quite compare with hitting the arrow keys a few times to see what small adjustments look like. Or dragging a card to a different spot. Or duplicating a component three times with slight variations to see them side-by-side.

I'm a developer that uses Figma occasionally. It's just less frustrating to get the "look" down before jumping into code.
Don't you need a Mac to run Xcode?
This is good, yes, but it requires that the team culture does not treat minor deviation from the Figma document as a bug or a failure of the developer. That mindset isn't always present, and it's not usually up to the product engineers themselves. It requires buy-in from the designers, product people, and managers.
I agree, I've found that there aren't many things as effective at burning out devs than agile methodologies as they are practiced at most places.

Most people working at companies, especially in leadership positions, are entirely focused on their career. I've seen this multiple times.

At my last company tech leadership was dumb enough to "say the quiet thing" and got in trouble for it: they pushed tech choices that were not in the best interest of the company because they figured it would be good for their own career, and they sold it as "good for your future" to their subordinates.

Some of our devs didn't like that and talked to the owners about it and the CTO got in some hot water. Then those devs got fired by the CTO of course, after being ostracized for 1yr and basically given no work to do. Ridiculous behavior.
The craziest thing to me is the people who are conditioned into believing that it's not slow. I don't know if it's some sort of perverse Stockholm syndrome, or if young developers today are just not familiar with how incredibly fast desktop applications used to be decades ago. I regularly have to completely reboot it because it becomes so unbearably slow, input latency alone often reaches hundreds of milliseconds. And this is on a workstation that I use to render extremely sophisticated 3D animations.
