Yes and no.

There's a lot to be said about empathy, assumed knowledge/expertise, acquisition of knowledge/expertise, mentorship, deadlines, etc...

But on the other hand, there are psychological effects that result in people being truly blind to alternatives. It's not that they don't think the alternative is correct, or that they don't want to spend mental/emotional energy on learning an alternative. It's that they truly can't even consider that there is an alternative until they are explicitly told to use it. That website exists for those people.

All the CEO needed to say after funding that fascist was:

Oops, sorry. I didn't check out that developer's history before funding his project. It won't happen again. I promise going forwards that we'll google people's names first before sending them any money.

They didn't have to make a big deal about it, even a simple quickly forgotten post on their personal social media account would have been enough.

People still ask him about it, and he'll talk about anything else.

But he won't give a simple apology.

His silence is deafening.

Better to just go for the EU version of framework without the fascism: https://novacustom.com/

Edit: Changed "All the CEO had to say" to "All the CEO needed to say" to avoid confusion.

It's for the best.

Learning how code works is better than getting an LLM to produce convincing looking code without anyone having an understanding of how it works.

LLMs just teach students to paint themselves into a corner without them even realising why bad things keep happening to them.

What's with all the complaints here?

New users expect middle click to bring up an auto-scroll widget instead of pasting by default.

You can set up your computer how ever you want.

Want auto-scroll? Set it to auto-scroll.

Want paste? Set it to paste.

The first thing you do on a new system is set up the computer how you want.

No one's taking anything away from you.

I don't see any actual temper lost here.

In one case he points out that someone is making commits that have messed up a file's indentation, and to stop doing that because it's messing things up (they were).

In the other case he points out that rust's default format rules are wrong (in the context of version control readability, they are) and asks someone to fix them.

The future is ~~webp~~ JPEG XL...

And telling software patents to burn in hell.

There are only two genders...

Except for: <giant list of genetic, epigenetic, developmental, etc... things that happen with human beings>.

Not to mention all the other things that happen with other living things

That's 41 degrees for everyone who doesn't measure things in bird per gun.

What to know about blue supermoons:

1. They literally mean nothing.
2. The change is imperceptible to everyone.
3. Expect useless clickbait slop about it until it passes.

There's a reason Teams is/was shit.

The first teams was written in AngularJS (which is a slow to run resource hog, but fast to develop) wrapped in Electron. It was kind of a minimum viable product, just to build something quickly to get some feedback and stats on what people needed.

The plan was to build a new native version of teams and build it into the next windows while having an web fallback (built on react) for everyone else.

They stopped working on the original teams and started working on the new versions.

They got half-way through working on the native and react versions when suddenly, covid happened.

They couldn't keep working on the new versions because they wouldn't be ready for a while, so they had to go back and resume development on the old one, introducing patch after patch to quickly get more features in there (like more than 2 webcam streams per call).

Eventually covid subsided and they were able to resume development on the new teams versions.

Windows 11 launched with a native teams version (which has less features but runs super quick), and the new react based teams (which can now be downloaded in a webview2 wrapper) has been in open beta since late last year (if you've seen the "Try the new Teams" toggle, then you've seen this). The React+Webview2 teams will replace the AngularJS+Electron version as the default on July 7th.

Github has always had being a job site be it's secondary feature.

Except that it has a slightly higher bar of entry to recruiters and recruitment bots spreading toxic positivity, and anyone asking for a job is able to prove (at least some of) their value by showing off their code and how they participate publically in other repos (if at all).

cURL was one of these for a while (according to my limited understanding)

It was made in the 90s and it didn't get commercial support until a few years ago.
