That's because Software as a job has become a joyless death march to poop out casino flavored adware for 99% of the industry? Go launch the Temu app and imagine being on the team that builds it. I could imagine a desperate person with

Funny thing about diffusion systems: they can't paint. You're not talking about the joy of painting, because no machine is here to take that away. That still exists, it is still joyful. Likewise, exploring mathematics for oneself

Oh I did. I got rid of it. Inspiring both constant censure and the kind of response you're giving drove me to despair. I don't write things for public consumption now. But we're not talking about me or the post. We're ta

As I read it the op said, "I don't like how they changed this license, this is a bad direction and I didn't think there was adequate transparency." And your rebuttal is, "Well you can always recover the code from th

I wish that more people understood that if they're very wrong/openly lying about the history of scientific achievement, they're probably in the wrong about their conclusions regarding the future of science as well. And that&#

In the interest of historical accuracy, Newton's work was directly and indirectly subsidized by his government as was the university he attended (that later gave him partial scholarship). He invented Calculus while isolated due to the

If you like these kinds of games but find SPD to be a little too mechanically simple and lacking in build diversity, you may also enjoy DCSS (dungeon crawl stone soup) and my personal favorite: Frogcomposband. You can play the later at angb

And look at how well it's going for Claude. Their primary claim to fame is being called "an annoying coworker" and that's it. Why would anyone look to form a contract with Anthropic right now? I'd say they're i

Google's strategy for search ux is decidedly not "nimble and rapid" and I don't understand why anyone with first hand knowledge would ever suggest that.

For one, that "deprioritize a competitor" is not clear at all. Why would that be so? Isn't it far more likely, given the rarity of these events, that a test regression occurred or some other subtle issue rather than assumed m

Hi. I helped write some of the internal postmortem and manage the data plane side of the team that responded to this. Please allow me to reassure you: No. Absolutely not in this case. Not even slightly. Any engineer can tell you customer co

Well, part of this is on us. Let's think on the reasons Gmail is so popular: 1. It's very easy to get to. 2. It has incredibly fast search that has 0 setup. We have never really even tried to address problem 1 as an open source co

I wonder if many folks who only joined the world of software development after DVCSs (and indeed, just VCSs) became popularized can understand why Fetchmail was not trivial to fork and fix.

The issue here is that: 1. It's very clear that his office has no qualms with filing cases that include untrue statements. 2. It's also the case that this group of claimants is strongly associated with a government official who is

Really, so this quote by ewmiller that I responded to: > I wonder how long my employment would last if I just stopped doing a good job and then said that as a response to any effort by my manager or teammates to criticize my output. was

We're not talking about 3rd party opinions here, we're talking about colleagues at the same institution being aggressive and destructive with professional designers.

It would be great if it was brought up constructively. However, this thread appears to be about mocking the concept of psychological safety in the workplace.

by KirinDave 6y ago
Obviously I do, and I note several replies here that strongly suggest that's how other people took it as well.

And yet that's almost certainly what people were describing by mocking the notion of psychological safety in the workplace.

The notion of being passionate without being derisive just isn't an option, I guess?

It's amazing to me that something as innocuous as, "Professional conduct includes at least an attempt at constructive criticism as opposed to venting" is now a heretical concept on this website.

Cool design, but is this novel? Canakit has been doing this for the whole year.

I think that at this point, folks have realized this is not in fact true. If anything, lax parsers made the evolution of the web more difficult and more subject to corporate cooption.

You should read Alexis King's articles on how this is achieved. One of the most imporant aspects of modern parser combinator libraries is that a very small composable core can be exhaustively tested (importantly: with both hand written

Does LambdaSchool think the thing holding back their developers is that companies cannot onboard new developers? While many small companies do not pay much attention to onboarding, I'm not sure that this is the actual stumbling block

So if I'm reading this right, the author feels that the reason these companies are so valuable is because it destroys the free market one customer at a time, selling lock ins that would crush a normal business to escape, and that will

Transmission on a local level is a MUCH easier problem to solve. Storage on a local level is plummetting in price and rising in efficiency; while also reducing its reliance in rare minerals. PG&E's failures should show that running
