Has there been any project which had its community change its conduct after adopting a CoC? Or any projects which had a profound impact due a CoC?

I see that having CoC is getting standard with OSS projects, old and new alike. But have no idea if it actually does anything.

Somewhere in here is the potential for Discord to become a big game/app platform by itself. It may prove to be a bit like the Facebook games explosion.

It’s kind of surprising that turn based games within discord aren’t really a thing.

Yep, and "different Patreon tiers get different channels" is already super common too. Presumably people currently do that with something like Zapier and a Discord bot and Discord can make it way simpler if they just sell the subscription instead. Makes perfect sense for them IMO.
For gaming communities (where you'd use voice chat), Discord was great. Easy to set up, free as in beer, runs in cloud. The alternatives back in the days did not have these features. They were either expensive (Ventrilo) or bad quality (Ventrilo and Skype latency/quality) or proprietary (only Mumble wasn't, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo etc were) or lacked community features (Ventrilo) or these were very archaic (TeamSpeak, Mumble) or you'd have to self-host (all but Ventrilo). It was also before GDPR existed. So Discord happily used and abused that unique position.

Its a shame its being used for general communities who don't use or need the voice chat feature. Especially when its an official community for a place, given their stance on third party clients and privacy issues.

If you don't need voice chat, Zulip, Mattermost, Revolt, Discourse, and many other would suffice (Linen recently got featered on HN). If you do, I think even Signal would be suffice these days.

For Discord search, recently Answer Overflow was recently featured on HN [1].

If you get to work one day, and there's a frog on your desk, and a job assigned to you to eat the frog, you're going to have to get it done. You can let it sit there and sit there there, but sooner or later you're going to have to eat the frog. Might as well get that job done with and move one to the next, more enjoyable, thing.

We don't eat frogs at work, but we do get many a job you'd rather put off to later.
O'Reilly recently published "Fluent C" (apparently inspired by the "Fluent Python", which I love). Any opinions on this one?
> A vast majority of people in the "Western world" perceive their countries as being bigger than they are. Thus from a primal, tribal perspective this further inflates their perception of "their peoples" being more important than the peoples of other areas.

That’s a fun hypothesis, but is there actually data supporting (1) that “a vast majority” of westerners misperceive country size in this way, and (2) that specifically such a perception causes them to consider foreigners to be unimportant?

Although implicit bias exists, studies show its impact on the real world is much smaller than commonly believed.
But nothing beats free, right? ;-)

> It’s not copyrightable in the US

That's document is about guidance about works applying to be registered at the Copyright office. Which is a process made largely redundant in 1978 by automatic copyright assignment.

Now the Copyright Office may be of the opinion that copyright doesn't apply, but apart from registrations (or passing new regulations, which they didn't do) they can only give an expert's opinion. To decide how existing laws and regulations apply is the job of the courts.
Actually playing the organ well is a hugely, hugely difficult skill -- you might think it's similar to a piano, but that neglects (a) the whole separate pedalboard for your feet; (b) the mental load of sometimes seeing up to eight-ish lines of music simultaneously across a series of different manuals (keyboards) with different voicings, that you have to control and change, whilst playing (±turning pages!); and finally (c) -- in piano music, you "play the notes" and if you hold the key down a little bit longer or shorter than is strictly indicated, it's not the end of the world and easily either becomes a form of articulation or a convenient way to change hand positions. In organ music, you have to "play the rests" – hold on each note exactly for as long as is required; no more, no less, and still get expression and tone in there, either with a swell box (≈volume knob for the feet) or, better, by your touch.

Here's a fairly extreme example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLRgvNh6Lk (Bohemian Rhapsody on a ~33k pipe organ. He's got a bluetooth button for turning pages on an iPad; the rest of the tech could easily be victorian).

Isn't that always the case when you have rule of law and separation of powers? The legislative body comes up with the law; judges just apply it.

E.g. if the law says "murder carries a penalty of minimum 5 years and maximum 30 years imprisonment", then a judge cannot give a sentence of 4 year or of 40 years, even if they personally believe this to be a "better" sentence.
> Any concentration of power is bad

Multiple failed, weak democracies that were subsequently replaced by dictatorships, several in France, would beg to differ.

It's a balance between centralization (stability) and decentralization (individualism).

Too much of either is corrosive.

>You can't detain someone willy nilly for 'intentions'

AIUI that's lawful in the UK, you can detain people under the terrorism act with only suspicion of intent. It does make some sense, it weighs the level of evidence inversely with the potentially large-scale of awful outcomes. (My understanding hear may be flawed/wrong.)

In order for that not to slip into fascism you need a forthright government that is honourable and believes in the rule of law ... both things the current UK government has proven they do not have.
Such as?

It is legal for Americans to fight for another country, unless it's against the US. In fact the US government said they can't intervene if one is forced to do compulsory military service abroad. It gets complicated fast:

"Because most maps people are exposed to are designed for navigation." Most maps people are exposed to aren't being used for navigation, but for education (at least where the question of the Mercator projection is concerned).

People are naturally hung up on it because why use a projection which is useful for navigation in a world history class or as a background image in a news cast or as a decoration on the wall?

"If size is your thing, use some other projection!" This is basically exactly what the people "hung up" on the Mercator projection are saying! We should be using other projections! It seems a totally reasonable thing to point out to me.
Perhaps try looking at a combination of TickTick and Apple Calendar app (if you are on Apple). I have a couple of different calendars within Apple - home, work and Toastmasters (but could be family).

Within TickTick, you can add in tasks to appear on the calendar so your tasks can be moved around your appointments. You can set up repeating/recurring tasks.

Also, consider using Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology- gets everything out of the brain so it can be used for thinking.

The TickTick free app is awful - premium is MILES better.
> Also magic eraser is terrible for clear plastics. How do you deal with that?

No personal experience, but I suggest you investigate how people polish car headlights. Non-abrasive toothpaste is one common choice. Or if you want to go a bit more professional, try a plastic polishing kit or a range of progressively finer sandpapers (the coarsest paper removes the scratches, then each paper removes the scratches the previous one introduced, until you just can't see them any more. You can buy sandpaper up to 60k grit, but I doubt you'll need to go above 15k grit).

Azure has some really horrible design patterns from a security perspective

If a user creates a resource they have the ability to delete it later, regardless of their permissions. An IT Admin creates a Network/VM/Storage/Whatever and later changes role and has no access to Azure. They can STILL delete that object whenever they want.

MSFT Bug Bounty declared it working as expected and by design. Owner can delete anything they own, regardless of permissions and access.
They're not mutually exclusive. Ideally OpenAI wants regulation that will put them ahead of others, which means:

* set the bar high enough that competition needs to put more effort (or maybe is entirely prevented from entering the market)

* set the bar low enough that OpenAI's business model is not affected (e.g. does not require them to spend significant amount of time and resources on complying with the regulation)

So in US they can lobby for more rules while in EU for fewer restrictions.

I mean this is why the phrase “regulations are written in blood” exists. People are not able to remain moral when faced with the debate between revenue and doing what’s best for human beings. You have to force them to do it (and they’ll complain about them forever).

If we didn’t have regulations on who can build a plane and to what specifications, those things would be falling out of the sky on a weekly basis.
I have used both SvelteKit and React. Dev velocity was great in the beginning with SvelteKit when everything was super simple but decreased drastically as the project grew. Went back to Next.

My AI lecturer at University told both the tank story and a similar London Underground story. In his version of the latter, the NN was measuring platform occupancy but sometimes produced anomalous results. After investigation it was determined that the NN was actually counting the number of bins that were visible on the wall (pre-IRA, I guess). On average, the more people the fewer bins are visible.
To be honest I don't understand your comment, I think you're talking about something else, so I'll try to rephrase.

My point is that C is not an OOPL. There's two aspects of OOP: 1) the concrete language features 2) a pseudo-philosophical wishy-washy hippie territory where nothing is clear and everything is subjective, where you view all problems as something that is to be modelled with objects, and your own mental model is firmly centred around objects.

Since C lacks concrete OOP features, I will proceed to show why the latter aspect (philosophical OOP) is problematic.

In OOP, objects are entities composed of data and functions that operate on that data. That's what C++ classes usually are: members and methods bound syntactically together. OOP doesn't allow a method to belong to two objects, by definition and by C++ syntax.

Now, let's say you have a C API that offers 2 structs, A and B, and some functions F1A(A, ...), F1B(B, ...), and so on. The people who claim C is OOP language will say "a-ha! A is an object. The data (encapsulated too!) is in type A, and the functions F1A, F2A, ... are the methods. You could write a C++ class 'class A { private: data; public: F1A(...);...};'. Same for B. See? A and B are objects!"

This is the philosophical OOP in action, where "it looks like OOP" becomes "is OOP".

So what happens if the API adds a new function, FAB(A, B, ...), that operates on the internals of A and B? If we switch back to OOP parlance, if you had two classes, A and B, and wanted to add FAB to one of them, which class would FAB belong to?

Well, it's problematic because we're dealing with imaginary objects, so the answer can be whatever you want it to be.

You can arbitrarily say "pick the first parameter type to be the object that owns FAB". Well, what if it's FAB(const char*, A, B)? And even if A is the first one, doesn't FAB changing B break the all-precious object encapsulation? Once you introduce FAB, are these objects at all?

The problem of choosing the "owner" is a common one in C++ OOP because the objects are real (there's syntax to mark something as an object), whereas in C the objects are imaginary and, therefore, a fuzzy ambiguous concept. If you take the set of all functions whose 1st parameter is an int, does that form an object? If everything is an object, is anything an object?

But, like I said, this tends to be a non-problem in C (if you're not a OOP person) because you'll recognise that FAB(A,B) does something useful, and all this conceptual objects design is just noise that does not matter and you're happy to say "my code is not OOP but it does something useful in the best possible way".

Which is why I think that philosophical OOP (object thinking) is dubious, and the only way you can call a language OOP is if it has OOP features. Otherwise, if the only thing you're doing is applying your OOP mindset, I don't think it's fair to say that the language itself is OOP.
How about we fix that problem instead by eliminating the Ponzi scheme that is social security?

Interesting that you say that about AWS when I would pin exactly the same complaints on Azure.

Last time I tried it their console designers clearly had a fetish for "blades" and horizontal scrolling, both of which can get in the bin.

I was initially frustrated by the steps required to set up a VM in AWS, but that's because they always used secure defaults - meanwhile Microsoft just went for the "firewalls are for pussies" approach.

When you graduate to automated deployments, AWS has multiple options to suit different tastes (Cfn or CDK), while Azure had ARM templates which are convoluted enough to make me stick to click-ops.
Okay, but how is that relevant to the claim that the GOP has been static for the past twenty years?
People always mention Frink and GNU Units, but the workhorse of desktop unit-aware calculation is, in my opinion, Qalculate. In addition to being a capable scientific calculator in its own right, its killer feature is the ability to throw 'x' anywhere into an equality, and it will solve for 'x'. AS well as making to/from unit conversion even easier this also often saves you having to rewrite physics equations to isolate the quantity of interest (and thus potentially screwing up factors when eg converting mm^2 to m^2). The composition of units + symbolic calculator is greater than the sum of its parts.
I'm from Brazil and I'd say we've just had that disaster election you fear a few years ago.

I used to laugh at the absurdities of the Trump government thinking it would never happen here and alas, it did. And it was even worse than most could have ever imagined.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't like the previous government and already dislike the current one's direction, but when you take one person that truly doesn't give a f**, they can ruin a country in ways you didn't even know existed.

But I don't really see a way out though. Most politicians here (probably everywhere if we're honest) are corrupt so you always choose between the lesser of many evils. The obvious solution is to actually use our collective power to rebel and really enact change - something ironically we say the French are good at - but it simply never happens. Looking at the French protests against the rise of retirement age gave me hope. But then you look at the outcome and it's always the same: we lose.

I honestly think the system has won. Capitalism successfully made everyone (myself included) just comfortable enough to not really take action. We are the proverbial frogs in boiling water and slowly but surely normalizing this insane world we live in today giving away all our hard-fought rights to our capitalist overlords.

We get upset and yell at the void, Twitter, HN, blog posts and don't actually DO anything. I truly hate myself for that. Meanwhile those that actually do something, have their efforts stifled away by governments with ease.

Perhaps I am a bit too pessimistic about this, but from where I stand, there's no way out.
Users of the telephone, the postal system are potentially terrorists. Users of speech in groups of two or more people are potentially conspirators. Simply to think is to be a potential terrorist.

This has been a very underappreciated point in all companies I've worked for so far. The difference between an good programmer and a bad one is not (just) that the good one is faster, it's that they can solve problems that the bad one cannot solve at all.

The terms "junior", "senior", etc make it appear as if the latter is just an older version of the former, but the correlation between work experience and actual skill is far from 100% in my experience.
I guess I mean that it's not the first thing people reach for unless they know about it. They have some data and want to write a function to do something.

But yeh its probably a too broad statement not worth debating on definitions.

Nope. It depends on countries (and mood of the year).

"Explore how your product should work, before building it."

I fundamentally disagree with this logic. Talk to any designer and they will tell you "to build any product, you must first build a design system."
