Yes, or pointing out anti-phishing training like it's anything special. The entire post is cringe imo.

"Pro-Science" and "Anti-Science" is too blunt of an instrument. It doesn't distinguish between the scientific method, journals, and institutions.

If someone has the opinion that the scientific method is great, but the current incentives at journals and institutions lead to poor practice of it too often, is that "anti-science?"

I'm glad someone knows how I feel.

Yes, the comments about "$25 name for a 5c concept" ring true when you're looking at a toy example with constructor(logger) { .. }.

Then you look at an enterprise app with 10 years of history, with tests requiring 30 mocks, using a custom DI framework that only 2 people understand, with multiple versions of the same service, and it feels like you've entered another world where it's straight up impossible to debug code.

It could be that the right call was for ATC to deny the request for visual separation and for them to do the deconflicting themselves. Not saying that's the case, I don't know, but that's one way it could be (partially) ATC's fault.

Got it working myself. I set up a share inside of Mobius Sync that reaches into the Obsidian folder. (note the entire thing, just one vault). I think there was a popup saying it was unsupported but I haven't had any problems yet.

Has the "no-hello" crowd realized what the "hello" is trying to achieve? It's a method of establishing a synchronous conversation.

Completely disagree. All clocks and watches have a degree of uncertainty. Even a once a quarter time sync is enough to improve the accuracy. If you want to be sure you have the correct time, then you check and set against a reference source or press the button to see when last received. What is the harm that would be caused by an occasional sync?

It's not a given that the parents are addicted to phones. It's also not clear that access to large amounts of information driven by selection pressure of algorithms is automatically a good thing: some of these informational memes drive children to do harmful things (for example, the tide pod challenge).

The "non-violent communication" style feels so unnatural though. When people talk to me using it, I feel uneasy and suspicious.

So even if a technology isn't fulfilling our needs and is leading to problems, we should ignore that because it's the "right" thing to do?

I did better than I usually do, because don't wordle forced me to use higher quality guesses. :)

I feel like YT is too quick to adapt and adapts too fully. If I pick up a new interest and watch videos on it for a bit, then that's all I see in recommendations; it's like my old interests don't exist any more and I have to remember to search them again.

Isn't it possible that someone has discovered something and not uploaded it to the internet?

How much do you pay monthly to keep the extra number? Is it worth that?

Probably finding ways to automatically take down videos

JADev62096 — Wed, 05 May 2021 03:08:06 +0000

It's bad where I work too. I'd call myself anti-woke. I just keep to myself. The sad thing is that I feel completely demoralized by it all. Like no one is on my side and I can't express myself at all anymore. I can't understand the people who say quit, because for every Basecamp or Coinbase there are 10,000 other companies who haven't banned it where it's taking over.
