She’s not wrong. The only people I know who support / like Kamala work in the administration

I wouldn’t say no one is paying attention. Rather, we learned that 40% of the country agrees with that language and actively wants a violent dictator

This is about Saudi Arabia and Iran’s proxy war in Yemen, not Israel

Your way of saying it is what would be muddying the waters as it posits the criticism as coming from the individual who is relaying the message which is not the case

Doing work with government, I understand why - ten billion different stakeholders to wrangle, strained budgets (probably not as big of an issue in defense but rampant throughout the rest of gov’t), lawmakers changing things mid-project that have a material effect on how the project is carried out, and endless redtape throughout the process. I don’t propose FF for gov projects either because inevitably they violate our assumptions by not getting their shit in order which kills the timeline, adds a ton of overhead, and results in a change order anyway which then just starts the whole process of approvals all over again.

US and international date standards all suck : ISO8601 on the other hand is beautiful

Fuck around and find out, India

Yes and no, right? It’s considered an asset that will be liquidated to pay LBRY Inc’s debt and it’s future will depend on who (if anyone) purchases it

After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github

No idea why you are getting down voted for asking a question especially as it brings up something important around the DSA and it’s highest profile members. I will look for the article but saw that the national DSA org came out saying the event was not planned (or supported? trying to remember how strong the language was) by the national org but rather the NY chapter. It will be interesting to see the fallout and whether that changes the power balance within org leadership

It’s just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

It’s funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They’re past their series F - they’ve got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it’s been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

Which I get - I’m starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

Hmmm, we have a company who’s success has been largely due to it’s large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community… Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who’s success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

Half and half. It was a college football team so half we’re still in their teens, the others in their early 20s

Somewhere Bill Gates is a happy man watching Elon repeat his past mistakes with Teledesic

You seem to be ignoring where profits are going - shareholders have, for decades, taken far more than their fair share of things and wages absolutely can go up without driving companies out of business it’s just that one group has to take less and that’s the shareholders. Employers will continue to do anything in their power to keep shareholders happy over employees and that absolutely includes bringing in cheaper, migrant labor. It’s not a labor shortage, it’s a wage shortage and investing in productivity doesn’t reduce jobs, it creates new ones - often that require a different skill set than the one it replaced and that’s one reason we are failing, we aren’t helping people acquire new skills en mass

To each their own, I really don’t like Miro as is just graphical, no way to export my data in a machine readable format. In LucidChart I could create an ERD diagram or BPMN chart and get it in say XML in a format that I could actually script on top of to help with development. As for direct Figma competitors, I’ve really enjoyed self-hosting PenPot

Seems FigJam is somewhat popular in the space? It’s an Adobe product now since they acquired Figma. There’s also Miro and LucidChart that are popular
