Cliché shitty man unhappy that women aren’t tailored for his personal tastes.

Extra funny that he jokes about banning a book, as if his villain status wasn’t already abundantly clear.

Did zuck personally buy these or did a team of analysts doing research make proposals and he picked some?

Oof. I’ve had places that the pipeline was getting long. At one of my previous jobs I made it so all the tests could run locally, and we were keeping the full build as slow as possible.

We also didn’t do any browser tests (eg: selenium) because those tend to be slow and most people are bad at making them stable.

It’s important to know whats worth testing.

That’s the plan. Unfortunately the market is kind of meh. Lots of AI slop. Lots of getting ghosted.

If the legal system concludes that he cannot be charged for murder, then the legal system is in error and should be amended.

The legal system is not a sacred, immutable, thing. It’s a bunch of agreements.

There’s a lot of fear at my job about changing code. I’ve been trying to tell them to start writing automated tests. Or at least a linter to check for syntax errors. They’re all like “ooh that sounds hard maybe next quarter”

Meanwhile, a trivial change requires a whole day because the developer has to manually test everything.

I just unilaterally added checks to code I have ownership over, but anything shared I’m getting “maybe in two quarters we can prioritize this” from management.

Allowing them on the platform doesn’t mean a full endorsement of the belief. It means that he (or whoever makes the decision) finds the belief acceptable enough to platform.

There is likely some line which is too far, and not allowed on the platform. Perhaps “eating live babies”? “Kicking puppies”? Something that is so unacceptable, it would not be allowed. This argument is that ICE and Nazi stuff belongs on the far side. That as a platform owner, you can say “that’s not allowed here”.

Allowing one person to say “I think the NY Yankees are the best” and another to say “I think the NY mets are the best” on your platform (eg: website, newspaper, bulletin board) doesn’t mean that you personally believe both. But if you let someone post “I think white people are best” and just leave that up, that’s saying that’s an acceptable message to say. Just harmless like talking about baseball.

This argument is some positions, like what ICE is doing, is outside the range of acceptable. The platform (a website in this case) should say they have to take that elsewhere.

My job has a “scrum master”. She’s nice, I guess, but as far as I can tell her entire job is sharing her screen so we can look at tickets. Then people tell her what to click on and what text to change. It’s excruciating because it would just be faster for the person talking to change it, instead of being like “remove the second bullet point. No, not that one”

On top of that they have all these tasks for “unit testing” but they don’t actually do unit testing. Someone just said, in the distant past, we should do testing so it’s there.

Yes. And verification requires platforming, so transitively they shouldn’t be verified.

It would mean that communism is acceptable to him. What’s tripping you up here?

There’s a difference between “they can publish a book” and “this specific publisher will publish their book”

That’s not how any of this works. Bluesky isn’t an agnostic protocol like http or a piece of paper. It’s a private platform, with arbitrary rules. Arbitrary rules that apparently do not prohibit ice.

Yes it does. It means they are okay enough with them to not ban them.

Surely there are some things that warrant a ban on bluesky. There’s some sort of line beyond which you are not welcome. We can infer from this verification that ice is on the safe side of the line.

Nazis and their allies should not have a platform.

When blueksy verifies them, it tells you that bluesky is aware of their presence on their (private, centralized) platform and accepts it.

Thus, the verification requires allowing them to have a platform.

Since they should not have a platform, they should not be verified.

I almost got an in-office job recently that would have doubled my pay. I’d make that trade. But they went with someone with “more cross functional experience”, what ever that means.

My parents tried this many years ago.

Since then my dad has gotten better- he runs Ubuntu and so far as I know keeps it up to date. My mother on the other hand gets upset if anything at all changes on her computer, and so never updates or anything

. I will never understand how he got these people so duped

They are stupid. So, kind of tautologically, they reason poorly and make bad decisions.

How would you prevent the cognitive test from being used to remove candidates for political reasons?

“Sorry, he failed the test because he couldn’t sing the texas anthem”

You could maybe have the questions and answers public, but the voting public is poorly informed and educated.

You could have some sort of third party do it, but then the conservatives would spend decades corrupting that.

Yep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.

The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.
