Up to version 1.3 the covenant didn't have a section limiting scope. 1.4 introduced it along with a loophole: > Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers. Eg, if you say something the m

I can't help but notice the contrast with the popular, Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, which makes it abundantly clear its aim to enforce a set of beliefs on its contributors, with no boundaries between professional and personal

Is it democratic in that people vote for a solution? Or is it everyone talks about it and consensus is built around a solution? Because while the second has its issues I would take it over the alternatives any day.

It's almost like there might be better alternatives than command-and-control structures when building software.

To be clear, I'm not claiming you can't do these things on native AWS, but rather there are wide choice of high-quality projects ready to go that target k8s. - Countless Helm charts - Development tools like Telepresence -

A compelling reason is the large ecosystem of tooling that runs on k8s. Practically anything you want to do has a well maintained open source project ready to go.

The dichotomy is pretty stark sometimes on this site between the excellent conversations about technology and the SV capitalists musing about how to get richer.

To add to this point, even if you season your Rust code liberally with Arc<Mutex<>>, the libraries you use probably don't, and you'll still get most of the performance benefits.

Yes, a regular for loop is a bit faster at iterating over a large list of elements than foreach in Javascript, but why on earth would you care about that kind of optimization minutia in a coding interview? The question you're asking in

That sounds like a pretty siloed way to work. Conversations with the people involved is much high bandwidth and full-duplex which increases the odds of understanding the underlying problem and building what people actually want.

This is an excellent point that I hadn't properly considered before. The term "non-binary" invokes a strawman that it proceeds to tear down. The notion is if you don't accept the idea that gender is an arbitrary social

Funnily enough, the writers of ST:TNG had this idea too. The main computer of the Enterprise-D was huge (9 decks tall) and generated a subspace field so that optical processing ran faster than light.

> we can try our best as individuals to promote welcoming environments I think what's often missed is that this creates an unwelcoming environment for minorities who don't share your ideology.

As another non-American I feel similarly which supports the hypothesis that CoCs are primary political instruments.

That's a lousy standard. It's fine for me to be denied equality if there isn't a unified movement advocating for a particular solution? https://polyadvocacy.ca/

I obviously can't summarize the all changes to family law and I'm not a lawyer, but here are a few ideas: - When 2 or more people get married, a new legal entity of the marriage is created. It has members, property and an estate.

by thaneross 6y ago
Yes, I do support it. I don't see the issue of changing the definition and legal framework to include multiple partners, which may be added or divorced over time.

Trying to rally a mob against someone in the hope of getting them fired is _absolutely_ a use of force. It was being justified as an act of self-defence (my words) because the OP felt they were being harmed. As for poly marriage, yes, ther

by thaneross 6y ago
Let me give an alternate perspective. I'm gay and polyamorous which means I can't get married to my partners. The vast majority of people are currently opposed to changing the definition of marriage to include my chosen family.

by thaneross 6y ago
That doesn't match my experience. People are afraid to speak openly to me and that does me a disservice.

by thaneross 6y ago
I can tell you, mentioning I'm in a polyamorous relationship with my coworkers feels _less safe_ today then it did 5 years ago. People before didn't really understand (they still don't) but I usually encountered an attitude

As a beginner to Rust I'm surprised by this. Given the Rust compiler is able to figure out the lifetimes in the recursive case, you'd think the lifetimes within the tail-optimized loop would be same. Doesn't the lexical sco

I agree there's good reason to be skeptical about claims that certain language is inherently harmful, but let's be charitable and believe people are genuinely offended. I have 2 questions: 1. Does offence in this case constitute

I can't think of any. Process attempts to reduce humans into instruction following machines. Sometimes this is necessary (think safety checklists) but most of the time it squanders the very thing that makes humans special: the abilit

It seems to me much of what is considered "professional" is the result of corporations trying to control employee behaviour to avoid liability. I hope we can do better than that.

As a marginalized person who has both been physically assaulted for my identity as well as been subjected to hate & discrimination, let me be clear that equivocation between words and violence is not helpful.
