This is not true
I thought it was an exaggeration so I checked. It's actually even worse:
EU is 0.2 ng/kg body weight and US is 50 µg/kg body weight. So the US limit is 250,000 times higher.
no, that's sandboxing.
That's a very weird implication. All human beings are complex products of social, economical, genetic, environmental and historical factors.
External factors do not make a person "less themselves" or "less real".
Additionally, distribution packages are tested by a significant number of users before the release.
Nothing of this sort happens around any language-specific package manager. You just get whatever happens to be around all software forges.
Unsurprisingly, there has been many serious supply chain attacks in the last 5 years. None of which affected the usual big distros.
Maintaining tenths of binaries pulled from random github projects over the years is a nightmare.
(Not to mention all the issues around supply chain management, licensing issues, homecalling and so on)
Hard pass.
...until you need to debug something somewhere in the enormous stack.
Efficient at what? Dictatorships are efficient at maximizing centralization power (and therefore creating wars), not efficient at making citizens happy.
Private companies are efficient at maximizing profit for the shareholders, not efficient at making employees and customers happy.
> With democracy, you spread the decision making across a vast number of under-informed people, which seldom results in superior outcomes.
Wrong. You are trying to applying direct democracy at specific, technical decisions. This would be like passengers on a flight voting on what flap configuration to use.
But democracy is not the Borg and does not automatic mean "everybody decides everything together". Specific knowledge and division of labor can still exists.
I guess it's all about inertia.
Citation needed.
> was the premise of the comment to which I responded.
It clearly wasn't.
It's very disingenuous to compare it to a knife.
It takes away the collective aspect and replaces it with extreme individualism. There's already a software model for that: closed source.
Also, you posted the same URL many times. Please do not spam HN.
> Focuses on Jira metrics, praises people for completing “lots of Jira tasks”
This is not a problem of ignorance. It's a problem of micromanagement VS trust.
Managers create arbitrary requirements and productivity metrics in order to apply the carrot-and-stick method. It's about power and control.
> So, as a developer, what can you do? Not much, unless you have a good shot at getting the manager removed without hurting your career. You might be tempted to somehow educate your manager
Not at all. A team of developers can go very far in pushing back against micromanagement. But only if you stick together and send the same message, consistently:
1) trust us to do our job and organize our priorities, as you would expect from any other professional
2) trust us to peer-review our work and productivity
3) provide us with training, time and resources as requested
4) protect the team from unreasonable pressure from upper management and other teams
5) if you provided 1,2,3,4 and we fail systematically, move people to other teams or fire them
Only in one country.
And comparing software development only with stressful jobs.
And if you still think that burnout is not a bigger issue in the software world, go around and look at how many 40+ or 50+ years old work in software.
If anything, seeing oneself as a logical, emotionless automaton is one of the reasons for burnout and depression.
Should I trust a whole image from docker hub with access to a security camera?
No. I'd rather trust a Linux distribution to do a reproducible build.
Did you see "OFTEN"?
The parent post was clearly implying that non-trans people are facing significant discrimination rather than the opposite.
Are cis/white people are often discriminated against?
