I answered. Grooming is wrong at any age, period. Even after the person is 100 years old and their parents signed on it, grooming is wrong. There's absolutely no "parental consent" that would turn anything that could be consi

There is an ocean of difference between "teaching children about sexuality in an appropriate manner" and "grooming". Comparing teaching to grooming and considering the two the same is a bad-faith argument. Anything that

"Access to drugs and procedures" doesn't mean free unrestricted access to "all kids". This is not candy being sold in the supermarket to kids. This all goes trough parents, psychiatrists and other physicians and the

Yep. A junior delaying a project for a month sounds like a completely fucked up process. That, or the junior taking WAY more responsibility than a normal junior and deserves a fantastic raise.

It's not his job to give anyone a larger venue to reply. Someone popular being in an echo chamber causing problems for society is a larger issue that maybe we should address separately. It's not on him to solve problems created by

Yes, I mention that in the second paragraph. That's his to decide. If you're interested in hearing the other side in all cases, then of course blocking is counter-intuitive. Wether he wants or not, it's his choice. However, e

There is an OCEAN of difference between saying what this article is saying and being okay with the recent wave of anti-trans/anti-LGBT conservatism in the US. Someone saying that "teaching about sexuality is akin to grooming&quo

It depends. I know people who thinks like you, but they don't shut the fuck about these things, and take every possible the opportunity to proselytise about it. I've seen it happening in workplaces, for example. But also parties,

I'm really wondering why this is a problem. Sure, that might insulate him and put him in an echo chamber, but blocking is entirely his right, and he's the one who'll get the consequences from that. I also tend to do a similar

I feel like a pariah sometimes in those discussions. I agree with PG in that I'm also not too happy with the "only X can be x-ist", but on the other hand I'm also not a conspiracy nut that talks non-stop about "crit

Nope. Realistically YES. I worked in some less than ideal places in my career, but even the ones I quit, this wouldn’t realistically happen. A junior being able to delay a process for a month means gross incompetence from everyone else invo

Honestly if a junior made a mistake that costed one month, there is some issue with the process and I REALLY hope they're not blaming you for it. Also, unless the sprint duration is four weeks and there's no dailies, I really ca

Engines are significantly higher level than what we call frameworks in web dev, with a lot of stuff built-in and coding being a minor requirement. Traditionally they were even genre-specific: fighting game in case of Mugen, shooter in case

by ratww 5y ago
It's the opposite. A game engine is a higher level piece of software, that often requires less coding (and in certain cases almost none) than what we call framework in other development areas. Modern engines also often come with comple

It is similar to how the Warez and online music piracy scene works. They steal from everyone with abandon but god forbid one person repacks, re-encodes or changes someone else's "work". Some communities thrive on drama.

That's a music video. They traditionally have sounds and dialog that aren't part of the music itself. Here's the regular version, same as Spotify, also on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4inWiKCt-E

That says a lot about the company and nothing about the test. Also 2h is not exactly FizzBuzz territory.

by ratww 5y ago
FizzBuzz is definitely not in the cargo cult category. It is merely extremely popular. It literally takes a few minutes and is great for weeding bad candidates. It is a win-win for everyone involved.

Yep. IMO the largest part of the complexity today is caused by the things you mention in your post: trend-chasing among engineers, especially inexperienced ones, and non-engineers constantly bending the process, trying to make themselves us

Yep. It was the same before Mastodon, with the predecessor of ActivityPub, et al. People had to "do whatever StatusNet/GNUSocial is doing". Even the code examples in the specs themselves were unable to interoperate with any i

Yeah, in this case was a single manager abusing his power, who doubled down whenever we aired our grievances, to the point of forbidding talking about it. The CEO however was more sympathetic to our pleas. The 8h shift looking at a shared s

I don't think I have ADHD, but I burned out pretty quickly after a few months of 8h/day pair programming. I started taking medication and took some extended vacation. Thankfully the CEO of the company wasn't much into it, so

Yep, my experience as well. I'd say (in keeping with the article's terms) that the intermediately-experienced tend to overuse indirection, but underuse abstraction.

I think it is the ability to spoof caller id, mixer with the fact the US is a rich country, mixed with the fact a large part of the world speaks the language.
