I'm not sure there's anything novel about that approach - it's how I've addressed issues quite commonly when assigning them to team members. If you don't prime your preconceived notions on your coworkers(or AI in th

Their mission critical software has bugs in it - security issues, which the rsync maintainer is trying to fix. In his attempt, he introduced regressions*(maybe - because some of the reported regressions list exactly the security issue that

If Rsync is complete software, why aren't you pinning the version and avoiding any problems with updates? Perhaps there's people that don't consider it complete software; they can bear the burden of the new releases while yo

The bugs were introduced because rsync had security issues(i.e. bugs) in it, presumably written into the code by humans. It's really baffling to see so many people in this thread maintain the position that somehow software was clean an

This article was written during a time where the idea of a semantic web was still bright and strong. Scrapable HTML websites would have been at the forefront of interchange ideas then.

Gitlab implements this compensation model openly(to the point where there is a calculator for it!) - I don't remember how well it was received when it was first announced, but looks like Google is applying a similar idea.

You really can't make a categorical statement like that. I prefered living in an apartment because the housing density meant I had a grocery store, a farmer's market, and multiple other commercial hubs within walking distance. It

No, you can't just move - the US collects taxes from citizens even if they live and work outside of its borders. You could renounce your citizenship, perhaps, I don't really know if/how that works.

You most likely do - founding a corporation is trivial in most European countries and the US. But you don't even need any of these things to get "access to the same loopholes" as "the 1%" - buy some stocks and hold

One of the most jarring things about violence in SA is that the crimes are usually property related, but there seems to be a complete disregard for life by the perpetrators. Robbers will quite often gun down their victims or security, even

Umm okay. Which country do you want me to compare it with? How about some from Africa? SA - 36 CAR - 20 DR Congo - 13.5 Uganda - 10.4 Nigeria - 10 How about some poor countries from Europe? Ukraine - 6.1 Bulgaria - 1.3 War-torn countries in

It's difficult to compare crime statistics due to the nature of what is criminalized being different, but the numbers for South Africa are stark enough for this to not matter. Here's a report from the SA police on crime for 2020 -

No way. Modern research has demonstrated how unstructured and unscientific our reasoning is, easy to fool and game, falling prey to a plethora of biases. If anything, rejecting your own and other people's personal experience should be

The evidence in question is shaky at best, but even taking it at face value, it's evidence of...something. Our limited understanding and ability to collect and categorize information, perhaps. It's quite the stretch for it to be e

The two articles you list actually agree with each other - the second one is basically a more thorough argumentation of the points raised in the first one. For example, the first article agrees that "async is colored"(despite the

I don't disagree about this use of defamation defense leaving a bad taste(it's been used by Trump to great success as well). I looked at the original complaint( https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod

Sure, I get how it sounds weird. But how would you amend this standard to catch the bad people like Sidney Powell, while also allowing critique of powerful, wealthy individuals and corporations? The defamation defense(and it's related

There's nothing strange about this defense, it's quite literally the standard defamation defense. What's very strange is that what tentatively appears to be some sort of law journal is using such a click-bait title for a bog
