You probably live in a community of some nature, though.

There are definitely regions where "engineer" is protected in such a way that "software engineer" isn't kosher (some provinces in Canada, for example)

"the facts in this case are not the debate"

Yeah I disagree, buddy, the unsourced nonsense is very much debatable.

My opinion is that making things up is embarrassing, and doing this whole "woe is me for the spirit of debate betides you" schtick when pressed on it even moreso.

i think "source or gtfo" is a fair response to this claim stated in this way

>uncontroversial, quite reasonably

Buddy, patting yourself on the back this much gives away the game

Another reason water and ICE cars don't mix is the wiring harness. Even if you don't flood the engine, you'll be having trouble with the electrical for the rest of the car's life. (Or, at least, that's the conventional wisdom)

Kysely is the name of a typescript query builder and also Finnish for "query".

Recently, it's started answering any search about Kysely with a blob of Finnish. Awesome stuff, guys, great work.

Having clean water access, etc., is a little bit more than "education", in practice

As we can see, in practice, voting for the party and not the MP is a mistake - because there's nothing chaining an MP to the party

You could always move to a riding with an MP you like better than the ones that win in yours. Easier said than done, of course, but it's democracy, not slopinthebag-ocracy.

You elect MPs in Canada, not parties

"unelected"? seriously?

I don't have the link to the US census bureau in front of me, but I think as of 2018 more than 50% of employees worked for firms with >500 employees.

And, of course, there's nothing preventing a small/medium business from incorporating, either. "Corporation means big, small business is a different thing" is common shorthand but not actually how it goes.

Couldn't disagree more. I know plenty of folks who hate Smith, but none who'd say they hate "Alberta" or Albertans.

I would be more concerned with the legislation passed last year by the UCP which weakened Elections Alberta's ability to respond to this sort of thing vs. "being friendly", yes.

The data sharing between the CRA and Elections Canada is optional, but if you want to vote, you've got to be registered - whether via the CRA or otherwise.

The people who've opted out of the phone book for reasons like "stalkers", etc., would probably be pretty upset with this, even if they're "few people"

In practice, I think these things correlate more than you think they correlate.

I don't think it's "poor character", though, so much as "willing to develop the deep mental model required for effective contribution".

As someone who worked for a contractor which had Meta as a client, I disagree.

All advertiser support agents were given super-read on all profiles & pages, and I never once observed a CSR being questioned on their use of this access in any way.

No amount of rewriting will help you if you, fundamentally, wrote the wrong thing, as is the case here.

They didn't take into account the long-run impacts of the changes on future development, etc.

I recommend reading the explanation given by one of the Zig devs, as it's a very clear and solid one.

>Are you suggesting that LLM's can't test for people who use screen readers? Keyboard only users? Slow network requests?

I don't think it's feasible to fully simulate the full depth of actual usage, given that (especially in the case of screen readers and the like) there's a great deal of combinatorial depth and context to the problem. Which screen readers, on which operating systems, and which users thereof?

A shield's purpose is to defend, or a bulletproof vest, or...

Try using a gun for that and it ain't gonna work. You might say that a gun's purpose is to deter? But the only way it can defend is by producing lethal force, so the defense can only be a potential secondary effect.

Ah, but now your pause menu feels like total garbage to use!

The file format being ambiguous and underspecified enough to mangle is, though.

Depends on what it's doing.

Worth noting that you've slipped from "checking whether something works is easy" to "well, it's probably not as harmful as a very notable failure if it fucks up."

The bar lowers so quickly.

As we know from THERAC-25, etc., comprehensively verifying that code works the way it's expected to is not actually very easy - it's perhaps one of the hardest parts of building any system more complex than a toaster.

HTML does provide the ability to use some client-side form validation without JavaScript.

Not saying your broader point is incorrect, but useful to know.

I do feel like this sinks a post of otherwise reasonable complaints. What "virtue signaling" is discourse even being accused of?

I'm pretty sure the only one that stayed up at all was Red Dwarf, the rest all rely on at least some part of the "main" instance and weren't up
