hah, it's not hell but it's not entirely pleasant either. a _lot_ of that is tests, which is essentially how contracts and safety is enforced in ruby (at least prior to types).

this has the benefit of ruby dynamicism (fast development within domains, you can use all the nice railsy tooling, activerecord, and all the libraries we've built over the years), with type safety at the boundaries (we've also put in timeouts, thread separation, and error handling at the boundaries).
the additional benefit for using sorbet is that it makes making typed RPC calls (over twirp or graphql) much easier as you can introspect the boundaries trivially.
really cool to see other companies evolving similarly given the same starting conditions!
??? what are you talking about.
for me personally, i approached it less as a hard sci-fi book and more of a fantasy/sci-fi novel with some big ideas, and loved it for that!
that being said, not really sure why my other comments are flagged (below in thread). seems in bad faith.
that being said, wouldn't map information be sufficient for the remainder of the classes? so using starting equipment is really just an optimization available for this class?
so neat -- i love that the RNG space fits into 100GB (all nethack games that ever will be).
there is plentiful literature to better educate yourself and be less ignorant about this.
unfortunately, the only way to change the future is to enable the groups that were historically disenfranchised, which we can enable through diversity quotas/affirmative action/etc. it doesn't just magically happen through everyone agreeing that "racism is over."
i know that you feel uncomfortable because you do not feel that you were responsible with the current situation, but you continue the status quo (racist society) by not structurally enabling disenfranchised groups.
we are no danger of positive discrimination causing structural problems for white people (especially men), besides them feeling (apparently) very uncomfortable with confronting systematic racism and white privilege.
thankfully companies are increasingly seeing this and i'm hesitantly positive towards the future (assuming we continue to hold companies accountable).
sadly it's impossible to be both "not racist, nor sexist" _and_ against "positive discrimination". not sure how much more simple i can make it for ya. sorry.
no one is angry because one person of color or woman is rejected from a position; it's not a simple first-order investment but rather a structural, generational change and people are mad because folks in power are not (occasionally, and thankfully increasingly less) acknowledging that. again i know it's almost certainly too complicated for someone who is pro-structural racism and misogyny to understand.
and, it's not possible to be "racist" in the way that racism is used in this structural way against white people. white men are sadly still in a position of structural power and as such you can't be racist against white people (especially white men). sorry for your lack of understanding here as well.
i also would like to see a more comprehensive study (esp. including scientific issues, which should actually be easier to measure and less contentious).
[citation needed]. "social justice" is absolutely that "most of humanity" does _not_ fall into those categories and in fact there are massive structural failures with society.
it's not "hypocrisy" to deplatform (& socially shun) racists & misogynists, and acknowledge white privilege. if you disagree with those basic tenants than you aren't worthy of being in the discussion, and, reasonable non-shitty people get to make fun of you.
