> Gitlab ships various ci runner executables for all platforms. I use their Windows ci runner and it works well, but I wonder how they test it without running windows.
> I am not conflating anything. I have had a very similar experience in EU and Singapore and while the case of Singapore is ethnic preference in EU it's about the language even if the working language is english.
Are you complaining that people in Europe talk their native language instead of English and that a company located somewhere prefers hiring locally? Whether a company is international or not is irrelevant.
You are certainly implying that 2 distinct situations are equivalent and it's "a problem" for you. I don't see where the problem is, personally.
Now if you have witnessed specific instances of racism or racial discrimination at work or during the hiring process, then you should report it to HR or the proper local authorities.
> Or in case of Europe in an international company a team decides to hire only people that speak german / russian / french even when the interaction with other teams is obviously just in english.
You're clearly conflating ethnicity with language.
1/ Just because people talk the same language doesn't mean they have the same ethnicity.
ex: French is spoken as a native language on every continent.
2/ Just because people have allegedly the same ethnicity, doesn't mean they share the same language or even culture.
ex: All black people living in Africa do not share the same culture, yet Americans reduce black people to a single ethnic group.
> Well the US definition of diverse is much more picky about what diverse means.
Yes, in US the definition of "diverse" is politically loaded, implying you subscribe to a specific partisan ideology. It's so loaded that you can't talk about diversity as "diversity of opinion", it has to be racial
Yet all the summer music festivals are packed, sold out within minutes. It's just that the kids value live experience more than they value mp3 or Spotify.
Clearly no, because Vala has a bunch of issues with memory safety. Not because it's a bad language, but since it translates directly to GObject, there is a lot of problems around pointers, ownership, ... mainly because that language lacks maintainers and GTK/Gimp developers didn't like it because they are "C essentialists".
There is no such thing as a "REST standard" and that's why we've been having all these pointless arguments for the last 15 years. If Fielding really wanted web developers to use REST he would have wrote a normative spec about REST.
Seems to me that REST was never about developers writing web API. The whole "smart client" capable of API discovery through "hyperlinks" is... a browser with a user clicking on those links. Except that API aren't consumed by browsers but other apps that are neither as smart nor complex.
> Would you like me to give you statistics on the drug related crimes? Horrible criminal networks exist thanks to the illegal nature of the drugs. The same thing with immigrants.
See what is your problem? You don't even care about what the parent says so you choose to wallow into making strawmen that have absolutely nothing to do with what the parent said at first place, or even bother sourcing your already off topic claims, just spewing generic talking points about god knows what. When did I or OP talk about drugs? never.
The rest of your comments here just look like a typical copy-pasta fallacy, simply ignoring the scope of the assertion the parent comment made, to make an unrelated point.
Of course, all is well when somebody denies facts.
> UK or EU is not Dubai, no one takes your passport and make you work like a slave. There are some fringe cases but it’s not how it work for the millions of immigrants.
This is an objectively false assertion, forced labour AKA slavery is a thing in Europe.
2 wrongs don't make a right. Uber operates like the mafia. I'm not going to take their defense just because they are a "just an app" or that the competition is as bad...
Uber became popular because it leveraged VC and cheap credit to subsidized rides, it's becoming much less popular as we speak since ride fares are going up fast and it now needs to actually make money.
same here. I miss Fireworks, a software that didn't try to nickel and dime those who wanted to do both vector and raster graphics with the same tool, and it worked very well for website prototyping. great addon community as well, thanks to JS integration.
you bet I'd never install a TODO app that needs to read my phone contacts in the past. It's not even possible to see if apps have in-app purchases anymore on Google Play.
It was only useless for you, I don't have time or KB to waste on my data plan.
1/ it's easy to publish a library to NPM, anybody can do it
2/ Node.js has a barebone standard library for server purposes, in fact you can't parse a multi-part POST request without using a package or writing your own.
3/ while the browser has a big API surface, state management and working with the DOM is a big pain when writing UI, so some kind of helper is often needed.
It's crazy we are still having these kind of debates in Europe. 20 years ago most youth around 18/20 thought Cannabis would have already been legalised by now, I don't believe one second that any of the European elected official under 50 never smoked pot. The only possible explanation I see is heavy lobbying from big pharma groups or wine interests.
Businesses refuse to invest in workers education thus refuse to hire juniors. Then they refuse to hire older developers because "not culturally fit". Tech businesses are full of sh...
Maybe with a Windows VM.
