This is a rephrasing of the "everything is political" argument. No, teaching math is not.

Hear hear. This pattern of people leveraging their professional position as a platform for activism is questionable, but debatable, in general. But being entrusted to teach children requires exactly that, trust. If school systems lose the t

Absolutely. Really, look at major events in history period. The fall of the Roman republic should be a regular topic of study in every western school. Understanding history is the greatest tool there is to understand people and the patterns

Completely agreed, and well stated. However, in this case, I don't think it's that Facebook doesn't want to apply their ToS consistently. I believe it's that activist employees, and opportunistic companies feigning boyco

Oh, absolutely. I am just following that argument to its logical conclusion and was intentionally pointing out that it doesn't make a lot of sense. I think you were pretty close in your summary down-thread: > The issue is whether a

Kubernetes include cronjobs as an object type. Meaning, this functionality is built in. If you're already running Kubernetes, it's a very simple way to do schedule jobs without needing new management tech.

Well said. It's important to remember that we have far more in common with those we disagree with than we do dividing us.

Yes, hence the working to improve the country comment. He was also a representative for over 30 years.

I didn't align with the man politically, but I admire how much of his life he spent working to improve this country for others. A life well lived.

Yeah, I use CLion as well for C work. Good to know it's useful for Rust as well, I hope to take that dive at some point. I feel slightly better about my purchase now, thanks!

Datadog is nice as a user. It's pretty terrible as a person who cares about the budget. Their pricing is pretty ridiculous at times and their sales people are often way over aggressive. You have to pay extra for containers on a host. T

There are slight differences, I believe. IntelliJ is also a little more cumbersome, since you have to map the modules to specific languages. I do mostly just use IntelliJ with plugins these days though. I always feel a bit silly, because I

I believe CLion is also different than just IntelliJ + Plugin. At least I've not been able to find a C plugin that mimics it.

I don't think I said anything objective truth, if it read that way I did a poor job. I am pretty far from believing that there is no objective truth. I was simply saying that there is merit to the idea that human beings themselves can

I have nearly as many answers to this questions as books I have read. Even fiction helps you to understand another perspective, which I think is really one of the great things about reading. One of the earliest books that gave me a good lea

It died in a wave of post-modernist thought crashing on the west. Post-modernists genuinely believe that objectivity is impossible. You'll see it in this very comment section, I'm sure. And, interestingly, at the core of it they&#

Well, just spit balling, but you should see it in team velocity. The effort you're spending coaching should show up in the output of your team members. Assuming there's some kind of constant ongoing engagement with one person or g

Completely valid question, and I think you make a great point here. A lot of baffling managerial behavior is because the manager is working in a baffling bureaucracy. Unfortunately, I think this situation was largely of the latter case, and

You would hope so, but I've seen an Engineering Director at an otherwise well run software company use number of Github commits as the central reason to put someone on a performance improvement plan as recently as 2019. Granted, this w

Very true, and it has been around significantly longer as well. It's rooting in puritanism, and is pretty strict about moral decency. I suppose you could say the Left version is as well, but with a different idea of what moral means. T
