I’m not in a place to actually help as I’m on vacation: but since it’s a compile issue, if you posted a minimally failing-to-compilr version (no credentials) of your full YAML someone could conceivably be able to troubleshoot it

Is it a common theme to shit on people for not having rollied their own C implemtations or was that a one off lapse of judgment on their part?

I’m not God’s gift to the field, but I am clearly better than most of my competition - that is, practitioners who haven’t put in the reps to build their own C libraries in a cave with scraps, but can read textbooks and use libraries written by elite institutions.

I agree not reading isn’t a virtue, but after reading something that caused my eyes to roll entirely out of my skull, I had to choose to cut the damage to my optic nerves.

Maybe the rest was good. That was bad. My critique is constrained to that specific, nauseating paragraph.

You’re not a real data scientist unless you’ve written your own libraries in C??

I couldn’t get past the inferiority complex masquerading as a confident appeal to authority.

Maybe the rest of the article was good but the taste of vomit wasn’t worth it to me.

I mean, I’ve never seen a real platypus but I’m not going to use that as a justification for why they can’t exist.

I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a spectrum. I’ve worked in shops that claimed to be agile but to them, that just meant JIRA and story points. I’ve worked at places where agile meant having daily standups.

And I’ve worked places where there actually was a genuine attempt, and that was an awesome place to work.

I’ll rephrase them, except in good faith:

1. Talking directly to the people about the work is better than a 95 state JIRA pipeline

2. Document your finished working work, not every broken POC, because that’s a waste of time

3. If the contract isn’t actually going to meet the desires of your stakeholders, negotiate one that will

4. If you realize the plan sucks, make a better plan.

My company paid to have Kent Beck come to workshop with our Sr devs. I expected to dislike him, but he won me over pretty quick.

I don’t remember what it was, but someone was like “Kent, we do X like you recommend in the manifesto, but it creates Y, and Z problem for us”

And he was like “So, in your situation it isn’t providing value?”

Guy was like “No”

“Then stop doing it.”

It’s not hard. It’s the most fucking common sense shit. I feel bad for them because these guys came from a world where there were these process bibles that people were following. So they wrote like, basically a letter saying “if your Bible doesn’t serve you, don’t follow it”

And all these businesses dummies were like “oh look, a NEW bible we can mindlessly follow”

If the goal is to visualize growth trends, I don’t think raw user counts are the correct value to track on the Y-axis at all. That’s where my head was at when I said it doesn’t make sense. Abusing the Y-axis to try and coax data out in this case is just a symptom of having the wrong measure.

Daily new users. Percent user growth.

Yeah when I showed the cop the graph of my speed before getting in my car to be 67000mph (speed of the earth around the sun) to 67080mphwhen I was driving it he couldn’t see the difference so I didn’t get the ticket.

Or sometimes choosing a common-sense reference makes sense.

Which isn’t to say THIS one does, it doesn’t, but the absolutism of “it’s nerf or nothing” is a tad extreme.

Ah, an auditability audit.

I’m really confused about the arguments around this, being that things like apostrophes and hyphens have special meanings in databases.

Yes, they do… But there are incredibly mature standard practices around how to store and query this type of data so that it isn’t a problem.

Hyphens and apostrophes aren’t uncommon in surnames. Is anyone suggesting banning those?

Let’s sing another song, boys. This one’s grown old and bitter.

The only question was the title, and the content of their post was answering their own question.

This post is just a blog post.

TLDR; if, as OP mentioned as a desirable criterion:

Something that respect as much the gnu philosophy (so nothing like Github etc…)

Gitea might not specifically be the best self hosted GitHub clone to use.

I use it. I self host it. But if you’re prioritizing FOSS philosophies, there are other GitHub clones that would fit the bill.

They had a c&c team shooter at one point that was a blast.

Imho they really missed out on defining the split-role FPS/RTS genre, they had all the peices but just never put them together.

I think it was straight up pride. Sarek, being Vulcan, wouldn’t really give a shit at a personal level if a human experienced Sareks emotional shame. I love my wife, but I don’t want her in the bathroom while I take a dump. My cat? Meh.

Lol

DON’T COPY THAT FLOPPY!!

This argument is only a “gotcha” if it was permissible use, but it wasn’t, even before CDs.

The most successful interview I had I’d had a few shots ahead of time, and got into a (respectful) argument with the CTO about the pros/cons of their implementation of agile as I saw it.

Like, not to roast our man here, but he comes off as a competent Eeyore, even while writing from the safest of places, where he can take the time to craft whatever image he wants.

It also assumes that you can’t directly sell power back to the grid, which without power efficient mining hardware would still be a more valuable thing to do with the electricity.

This is exactly why publicly funded media is essential to a healthy media market.
