Can confirm. I have a Windows VM just because I have to test this. It is not a good feedback loop.

That entirely depends on why you hate it / what you hate about it.

Thanks, I love oddly comforting techno theology

I know you didn’t mean it like this, but the result from this line of thinking is that we only try to put women on equal footing with men in tech when it’s convenient for men because times are good. Which in turn means we never put women on equal footing because the needs of men always come first.

Put differently women have to deal with being women in tech on top of times being desperate, men only have to deal with times being desperate. Things like this are why spaces like these are necessary in the first place, and if you break them down at the first discomfort you’re not a working class hero fighting the capital, you’re tearing down women and setting everyone back.

I’m using brave mixed with a network wide ad blocker, so while it’s nice that Firefox has UBO I’m fine without. Firefox has been presenting these issues every time I’ve tried switching, so for about a year now, so no not a recent issue.

This is great but I literally can’t use the base app on my S20. Like clicking on Google search hits causes the app to freeze. Trying to scroll up on a page triggers a reload 30% of the time. I want to use Firefox but it’s nowhere near good enough, and adding extensions on top of that state is not going to help.

That’s a good link, the author has a bachelor’s in philosophy, so that gives it some credibility, and he is providing a nuanced summary of some philosophers’ views on individual wealth. Schopenhauer is the only one to come close to what you’re saying, and he’s famously the most depressed/depressing guy to ever have walked the earth, not that that means he should be discredited of course. As a list this in no way backs up your point about wealth on a societal level. Just because you identify with an idea that does not make it true.

Here’s an actual research paper with statistics touching on this subject. The authors argue that local wealth coupled with large inequality may cause many people to borrow above their means, causing unhappiness.

That’s not a source, that’s just a new baseless claim. Give statistics on “every philosopher who wrote about the concept of happiness” or sit down.

Lol fucking source?

Hey! Just popping in to tell you that Soren and Daniel have a podcast together called Quick Question, and it’s really quite great.

Gotta know, are you serious or joking here? Follow up question: are you a developer and have you ever worked on a medium+ sized project? The amount of dependencies you end up with is astounding, you can’t just “know” when all those APIs changed, that would be a full time job just to stay on top of. And that’s not even taking into consideration transitive dependencies. If a library doesn’t use semantic versioning, 99% of the time it’s correct to avoid it just to save yourself the headache.

Shhh, they don’t know what that means, let them live in bliss

AFAIK you’re right, Stallman only cares about free as in freedom, which means at a minimum the source code should come with the product so you can modify it and inspect it. If you can figure out a way to sell it like that, and not just sell tech support, I’m sure he’d be all for it.

Thought you were OP for a second there, as they were talking about composability. Whether it’s dependency injection or not depends on what shape your parameters take. If you’re doing functional programming and you’re passing handlers and connections etc. as params, that’s dependency injection. If you’re only passing strings and objects and such and the function has to do a bunch of logic to decide how to handle its params, that’s not dependency injection.

You’re gonna have a tough time talking to others about your code if you don’t agree on common terminology. Function invocation is just function invocation, it doesn’t say anything about the form of the parameters or composition. Dependency injection is a well known and commonly understood method of facilitating decoupling and composition by passing a function’s dependencies as parameters. From your comments you’re talking about the second, but refusing the name, for… reasons?

My brother in Christ, that is dependency injection. Just because you don’t want to call the spade a spade anymore doesn’t make it not so.

What are you talking about? At least in Java and PHP you can absolutely declare constructor and function parameters as interfaces. As you say that’s exactly what they’re for.

Why is the joke with Java always factories? Factories are really super useful in a dependency injection context.

When individual humans reach a certain level of power and wealth they tend to self isolate. This is a natural response, they need to start to see themselves as different and set apart from regular humans, because the things they need to do to keep growing their wealth and power start to become increasingly inhuman.

Here’s a link to an article full of the insane things billionaires have tried to justify, in their own little books, and these are just the things they are happy to share. The complete disconnect from their reality and ours becomes terribly pain to see once you read their thoughts.
