Came here to say this too. Huge fan of semantic line breaks, both for VCS and for the eyes (makes it easier to parse the structure of a document)

At that point I'd just point out how coming up with an estimate would first require putting in a lot of exploration and research, so it would take X amount of times and obviously delay other work in the meantime. Then ask again if, tha

Crypto? Not necessarily. NFT? Absolutely yes, no doubt about it. Unless people start buying NFTs a) understanding it's just a glorified donation or b) we figure out how to attach legal consequences to an NFT, they will remain mostly a

Yes, my point is that they're all preferences that people have and that's okay. Saying people are "missing out" because they prefer a certain race is like saying they "miss out" for preferring a certain gender.

> By that logic My logic is that, in order to guarantee the right to freedom of expression, there needs to be a line. The moment the "consequences" of expressing an opinion are predominantly punitive is where it needs to stop.

Okay, so you've addressed profiles with low-quality code and curated portfolios; but what about normal people who just put their projects on the platform? Their profiles will be a good representation of how they generally do things.

But commits are timestamped though? It's easy to see if a github profile is active or not, and which projects likely represent someones current level of skill.

I half agree with this. I don't like the idea that every developer has to have code on github. If they want to code for work and nothing more, then that's fine and shouldn't disqualify them from any jobs. We shouldn't ex

Nothing prevents poor people from actually re-using bags, so it seems more like a war on dumb people.

It's interesting how the radicalisation of crypto-advocates seems to be radicalising the critics just as much. I see this in myself too: I used to be very sceptical of cryptocurrencies, but generally liked the idea as a concept. I used

If you want to be pedantic, git isn't a block- chain so much as a tree. But more importantly, git isn't what people usually think about when they hear block-chain. The irony is that it's probably a good example of how such s

The post points out several shortcomings of a system that is objectively worse in almost every aspect than the existing alternatives. Calling this a Nirvana fallacy borders on bad faith.

I think people vastly underestimate the importance of infantry support. A single soldier with an ATGM can take out a tank, but a single soldier with a gun can take out that single soldier and their ATGM. It's easy to forget that realit

You're missing the point. Look at panel B again: People who only had Omicron Covid have close to no immunity to any of the previous variants. That's the important part: Getting infected with only the omicron variant leaves you sus

My take: The west still looks at this from the perspective of the bigger power. I don't remember where I read that in asymmetric warfare, one side loses if it doesn't win, while the other side wins if it doesn't lose. Ukraine

It's kind of a weird situation. I've seen many examples of Europeans attempting to copy american wokeism, but without accounting for the different history.

This isn't really news though; it was pretty clear from the beginning, when Russia failed to break through Ukrainian defenses as quickly as they had hoped, that they'd either massively increase their efforts, or that it would turn

> it seems like you are beating around the bush here a bit What I'm saying is quite simple: Unvaccinated people are being dehumanised all the time. I'm not beating around the bush, I clearly stated this in my first message.
