turbonoobie··on Norwegian: Bokmål vs. Nynorsk
It's important to note that "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk" are only written forms of the language, and depending on where you grow up the dialect of Norwegian you speak will be closer to "Bokmål" or "Nynorsk".

If I remember correctly from Norwegian classes growing up, Bokmål is heavily influenced by written Danish. Nynorsk was based on dialects people spoke outside of the bigger cities. Nynorsk however is more of an amalgamation of dialects, and can not be said to be spoken by anyone. Your estimation is in the neighborhood of native writers of Nynorsk I believe.

It’ll be interesting to see Pirelli taking a market share in the cloud.
turbonoobie··on GitHub, fuck your name change
Definitely not. My impression though, is that the people who care about their conduct might read the document, and others will just gloss over it anyway. The energy is better spent elsewhere .

I like this approach

CoC is such a strange document. All I’ve seen it do is sit in a repo as a flag post. When I see a license document it gets me thinking about what intentions the project is released with, but when I see a CoC document all I do is mentally filter it out and go about my day..

One would think it could leave some sense about the maintainer(s) being decent in some way. Instead I’m just left with a feeling of coercion if anything.

It just shouldn’t be necessary to “present” yourself as a decent person as the author of some code.

Some document in a project folder online doesn’t make you or me better people. It seems to me more of a futile (and stupid) gesture if anything.

We need to spend our time actually doing decent things, and being decent people. Putting a document in our projects telling others that we are doesn’t really change that.

A standardized way of telling others you are a certain way, doesn’t make you so. It relieves us of putting in the effort if anything.

This is becoming a regular occurrence by now..

I wonder if reliability has become less of a priority. As somebody with little to no experience of running things at scale I’m finding myself attributing this to some form of “move fast and break things”.

I agree, but this needs to be sorted with regulation, and not blaming Twitter for doing bad when they're able to do what they want on their platform.

pipenv solves some of the chaos. I do agree though. One right way of setting things up would do wonders.
