Oh nonsense. Reverse the argument, does it make any sense? "Every time a (whaling ship crew, police force, oil executive, etc) gets angry at protestors and sprays them with (water cannons, rubber bullets, lawsuits), they are more likel

So, you have a duty of care to make a safe workplace, at least in most countries. Consider what a job with no joy means for the ongoing mental health of your staff, where the main interaction they have all day is with an AI model that the p

It is very true in a physical sense. "Use it" results in neural pathways being formed. What happens when you dont use them? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602...

Basically had the same urge to write about this problem, prompted by the exact same comments around mental fatigue this week. Only got to the research stage. Here's some of the literature I dug up when looking at what is the potential

Your best bet is probably to look for wikidata entries that are marked defunct; and match up to something like name-suggestion-index to get broad categories.

Quick questions; as this project clearly exists in a community-less vacuum: How do people keep finding and using it? How do complaints or feature requests keep arriving? Why is the published to an audience that doesn't exist? Or is it

You might need to go back and read that one again, this is the faintest criticism of a lengthy screed in which the person you are replying to labels user-hostile behaviours as "acting like a jerk" and generally disapproves. Your

Picture this scenario. You make one really good birthday cake. Following the success of this went to your local school fete out of the goodness of your heart and set up a cake stall, had a complaints and suggestions box on the table, maybe

I agree. I would add a pet peeve of mine: - Don't publish a code of conduct and then be an absolute asshole to contributors (pick a lane and stick to it) I feel there is a lot of performative policy published, which at the end of the d

As others have expressed, sycophancy is not leadership. How do you "safely push for change" in private if your executive leadership display sociopathic or narcissistic behaviors, where they expressly do not care about the harm the

Basically, yes. It is murkier as the involvement of some of the original creators in Ruby Central is there, so there are claims to being the original copyright holder applicable to some areas by a very small number of individuals, none of

My point is that he chose to communicate the way he did; it is poorly thought out and extremely difficult to accept as an explanation. Objective tests you yourself can perform. 1) How much of the publication talks about himself? Why is that

It's not just one person. Between the initial removal of access, then giving it back after explaining it was a mistake; the people involved started a conversation about governance to clarify/fix things. https://github.c

It's such a weird thought process to have gone through, to write this. The sentiments expressed are basically: "I WANT to apologize ... that I feel awful." "How can you possibly talk to someone about changing access, whe

What an insane thing to say! But also... how insane is it that I agree with you based on objective reality? Can you imagine seriously saying that 20-30 years ago? 1984's doublethink/doublespeak always seemed over the top, yet we a

I strongly disagree with the premise of the article and content being reiterated here by a number of commenters. An incredibly common pattern is a maintainer thinking they know better in an area they are inexperienced in, and rejecting ch

Politely, I disagree. It means you are in a context where the risk aversion is high, everyone keeps their head down. Done right, you can be a disruptor , for what are very benign or proven changes outside of the false ecosystem you are in.
