my favorite part is the subthread where someone replies to me with "network transparency is simple it just means ABC", and then someone else comes in to correct them about what network transparency actually means, which is literally my whole point lmao meanwhile i haven't worked on any of this for more than 4 years

Why did I spend 4 year getting a CS degree for Web Development when people doing coding bootcamp for a few weeks and are able to get same jobs? What the hell? Did I waste my time doing CS if I want to get into web dev? Seem like CS is more for thing like embedded engineering, data engineering, etc. What is point of CS degree if i want to become web dev???

computer science is a math degree a cs degree can teach you lots of useful things about programming, but learning specific resume buzzwords is left up to you the most successful people out of bootcamps already had some skills and treat the bootcamp primarily as a networking/credentialing opportunity. most boot camps are total garbage and do not prepare anyone for work

hackers! i hate them! klmadfejno 3 hours ago [–] I saw the Anti Racist author, Ibram Kendi, speak. Honestly I wasn't really impressed with what he was saying. Yes, structural racism is a real problem. But the concept of anti-racism just did not feel well defined and just begging for semantic ambiguity that distracts from the point at hand, much like how feminism suffered from allowing detractors to claim it was about females asserting supremacy. Ideological terms move the conversation away from ideas and towards meta-arguments around what the ideology is. I found this article somewhat hard to follow but it's last paragraph seems to resonate with that. What is anti-racism? Is it: * taking proactive steps to combat racism rather than trying to avoid taking part in it? * asserting more power to minority communities that have been harmed by structural racism? * a means to justify breaking down dominantly white structures even if there's not obviously malicious racial actions at play? Which of these are good? Which of these are obviously good without nuanced discussion? If it's something like the third one, does it seem like a good idea to call that model "anti-racist" in a way that clearly antagonizes the other party merely for existing? reply hirundo 3 hours ago [–] I had a girlfriend in high school that learned about feminism, and developed an annoying habit of playing "gotcha" with anything that could be spun as chauvinist. For instance anyone saying "C'mon you guys let's go eat" would get a lecture about how using the word "guys" to a mixed sex group was being oppressive. She didn't say "patriarchal" only because that word wasn't in currency yet. Years later her gotcha shtick became her profession as a college professor who taught it to a new generation, year after year. I think the events at those meetings are more about the joy of the gotcha than anti-racism versus non-racism. It just feels good to catch someone out, to be the one who sees it first. Like most pleasures it has addictive power. It wasn't because the anti-racists were actually racists that they were triggered by a white man bouncing a black baby on his lap. It was because they were scanning desperately for a gotcha to feed their habit. For a target that you disagree with, a behavior has a much lower threshold to become a gotcha. If it wasn't for the baby it could have been his supercilious smile or hair style. In modern anti-racism, not only does a gotcha not need to be justified with argument, any criticism of the gotcha is another gotcha. What I have written here is just more evidence of my own racism and sexism. They've got me. reply

Uber and Lyft are pulling out of California due to a recent court ruling requiring them to classify their drivers as employees and the hackers are maaaaaad they'll have to pay slightly more for taxi service.

exactly backwards - the entire classical distinction between independent contractor and employee is based on a near-medieval employment model (the law of master and servant) that we have tried with increasing difficulty to graft onto 21st century realities. it is uber and lyft that want to continue to apply this hoary old model to the 21st century. AB5 actually uses a much more modern test that is based in part on the actual economic realities prevailing between employers and their subordinates, be they classically "employees" or not.

gently caress uber and lyft one good thing is that the court of appeals set a very accelerated briefing schedule while the stay is active. Plus there was this interesting bit: quote:On or before September 4, 2020, each defendant shall submit a sworn statement from its chief executive officer confirming that it has developed implementation plans under which, if this court affirms the preliminary injunction and Proposition 22 on the November 2020 ballot fails to pass, the company will be prepared to comply with the preliminary injunction within no more than 30 days after issuance of the remittitur in the appeal. 5. Should Lyft or Uber fail to comply with these procedures, the People may apply to this court to vacate this stay.

Consultant32452 1 hour ago [–] This is a great example of having the right ideas but not understanding workable systems with real people. Let's take just one industry and I can show you how it's not as simple as you make it out to be: socialized/single-payer medicine. This is a system which reduces incentives (profits) in exchange for some equity. This is a great idea because we don't like it when people suffer. But what are the costs? Basic economics/psychology informs us that when incentives affect behavior. When the profits in healthcare are reduced there is less incentive to create new products/treatments/services. This is the tradeoff we're making. What happens down the road? Of course no one knows exactly, but we do know what will tend to happen. A new drug that might've been created in 5 years takes 7 instead. And then the next advancement that builds off that one takes even longer still. The whiz-kid who might've invented the new surgical technique which saves hundreds of lives per year might go into finance instead. What does this mean? It means we've slowed the velocity/acceleration of advancement. So people who live 50 years in the future will not have as good of healthcare as they could've if we'd left the greater incentives in place. And the people who live 100 years in the future are relatively even worse off to where they would've been because we've had 100 year at the slower pace. Since the future is functionally infinite, we are causing infinite harm to people in the future (all the advancements they won't get) at the cost of providing some comfort for some people today. And this applies to every industry, every redistribution program, every set of regulations. It's not just politics/law either, we make these decisions in our own lives every day. Are you going to buy that Apple Watch, or are you going to put that extra $ into your 401k? Stoicism teaches us that all negative emotion is rooted in a lack of understanding. So when someone says they don't want to raise the minimum wage, or doesn't want universal healthcare, or whatever... it's helpful not to have that knee jerk reaction of "This person is bad and wants people to suffer." That's almost never the case.

btilly 3 minutes ago [–] The answer to the implicit question is simple and obvious. The stereotypes that proved accurate were often ones which people, for political reasons, wished to be inaccurate. Finding or quoting evidence that supported the stereotype was likely to be career suicide. By contrast insisting that the stereotype was wrong was not. A simple example will demonstrate this. There is a stereotype that blacks are stupid. In fact on IQ scores, the average black scores in the bottom quartile of whites. (See https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-black-white-test-scor... for a reference.) The traditional response is to criticize the IQ test as racist, and not to accept that there might be merit to the stereotype. This is not to say that there aren't very smart blacks - very few whites are as intelligent as blacks like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Barack Obama. But according to the data, the average black is significantly less intelligent than the average white. Now imagine your average progressive leaning social sciences department. You can guess the reaction to anyone saying, "According to the data we should expect the average black that we encounter to be unintelligent." Data notwithstanding, the reaction will be much better if you say, "There is no evidence for the widespread bigoted opinion that blacks are stupid." So people say the second thing, and avoid the first.

xtal posted:Why did I spend 4 year getting a CS degree for Web Development when people doing coding bootcamp for a few weeks and are able to get same jobs? the point of the CS degree is that you hopefully learn enough not to spend your web dev job making an unmaintainable mess dependent on fifty half-finished barely-documented libraries no one uses that'll be deprecated within six months. also if you really listened, you hopefully learned enough to be able to do other things instead of web dev it's the modern day "why did I bother to go to college to learn how to web dev, when the neighbor's 12-year-old kid read a book on HTML and now his Geocities page is rad as heck?"

GordonS 13 hours ago [–] I've been using Marten for maybe 3 years now, and I absolutely love it! It's extensible too, so you can do just about anything with it - for example, I use it with views, multi tenancy, a base for aggregate queries and all sorts, and it works great. The core team is really responsive on both GitHub and Gitter too, and are happy to both accept and help with PRs - it's (almost) the model of a well run OSS project. One small thing tho... the original developer, Jeremy Miller, can be a bit... spiky; like you ask a question and he just assumes bad faith and will snark at you. I imagine this behaviour has put at least a few people off contributing and using Marten. I almost feel bad about mentioning this, because I'm a fan of his work, but OTOH I kind of hope Jeremy reads this comment and takes it constructively. jeremydmiller 9 minutes ago [–] Jeremy finds your “comment” behind an anonymous name on a very public board to be extremely obnoxious and a prime example of the kind of online interaction that tends to sour me on OSS.
