Yes exactly! This is a much better description than I was able to come up with.
No not really. If you put them in a list of features and compare them it seems pretty close, they have most of the same stuff. But if you actually learn and use both the android one is much worse.
People are sometimes kind of down on that approach in software, considering it sloppy. Especially in comparison to other engineering disciplines it just looks kinda bad sure. But really I'm pretty sure if for example…
No dude they are not the same. PUA stuff came out of a deeply misogynist internet subculture with close ties and many overlaps with far right activists, "red pill" violence, and ethnonationalism. Plus it's just…
No the second embeds two important differences from the first: that this is new (it's as old as writing at least) and that it's bad (a value judgement you can fall on either side of).
This apparent contradiction is just a moderately clever way of using an ambiguity in the word. If "deplatforming" is taken to mean "depriving people of an easy means to find and communicate to an audience" it can be an…
No it doesn't you can fully engage with the complexity and ALSO blame him for it. I do for example.
We expect "better" from democracies largely because they have more sophisticated and effective ways to defang troubling journalists. You don't really need to murder or imprison them when you can just make it so no one…
It's a risk, that doesn't mean taking it is foolish. And I don't think many people would advocate _always_ being maximally vulnerable in all contexts come on. Use your judgement but mine is that most people around me…
Yeah learning things is so fun, and also so is just having a bunch of weird skills you're competent or at least knowledgeable at. I won't post my list of accumulated learnings because it's about as good a personal…
Yeah that's what they're saying I think. Programming outside works helps your programming inside work sure. But for many (most?), programming ability isn't the limiting factor on how effective you are as a _developer_…
There's definitely a bit of a pattern to this in music as with nearly everything. Players within the established tradition "take it seriously" which is on one hand respect for tradition and on the other impedes full…
Or just look at what contemporary jazz is like this decade. Absolutely whole-hearted embrace of pop and hip hop production techniques, sampling, DAW-dependent live performances, thicc 808s etc. Live music performance…
Yeah you're right. I guess a style guide or a usage guide would be a prescriptivist dictionary? I'd always heard "prescriptivist dictionary" is a thing that exists but now that I'm thinking about it I'm kind of doubting…
There actually is an argument in there I just trusted people to be able to see it through the joke. Should have known better.
Honestly it's grim but the social power of the group that uses it. If you speak a prestige dialect your patterns are "rules" and if you don't your patterns are "errors." But in both cases it has nothing to do with the…
I mean true but this is like pointing out that no one plays baseball with a golf club. One is ubiquitous because it's useful and the other isn't. Prescriptive dictionaries do exist but they're mostly used by specialists…
Yeah my "niche" right now is consulting for companies that are high revenue but built out their platforms during lean times where they were focused on growth over stability, reliability, or security. "Legacy code" I…
Maybe you should read the fucking article before you spout off then.
No I'm not getting into this. I've done this so, so many times and there's no value for anyone. You, or someone else, will move the goalposts, or find some hyper specific counterexample and claim it disproves the entire…
I don't know I'm not thrilled to be this negative or correct about this but it's been pretty much exactly what I expected.
I was trying to be nice. It's worth discussing I just don't think you contributed anything useful to the conversation with that comment. To me it reads like you're dismissing the author's experiences based on a…
I only got into tech a bit over five years ago and that was the first time in my entire life I had been above the (demonically low) US poverty level. There is absolutely a difference in how rich and poor people treat…
It's normal and cool actually that we can take something that affects a MAJORITY of Americans and is tightly correlated to poverty and make it a matter of individual responsibility and moral weakness.
Haha fair enough, sorry I was kind of snarky about it. I thought you were intentionally misinterpreting to start an argument. Good lesson about giving people the benefit of the doubt for both of us I guess.
