So what, then? Disallow code that isn't deemed credible or professional by what metric? This whole thing is getting too political. I just want to write open-source software and let the users decide its worth.
Let's point out the absurdity that saying "all information must be accessible" is synonymous with "all information must be disclosed". These are not congruent statements.
If it has nothing to do with children, then why is it named the KIDS Act? Are we being bamboozled? And you are IN SUPPORT OF that? Am I taking crazy pills?
You could make any flag out of non-vegan materials, sure. But that this flag was designed with the basis of cruelty (silk) makes it also conceptually non-vegan.
What a great way to unite the world in a practice of cruelty to its inhabitants
Again, you are truly blessed. I've lived in multiple places (California) where the rent increases by the maximum allowed amount every year ($100-$200). None of your friends refer to their houses as "units", do they? You can't compare your situation with theirs lol
Walking into a hotel lobby to get a map printed seems like a much greater surveillance risk than looking up directions on my phone. The cameras, the printer, the hotel staff, the other hotel guests; they’re all third party to your private information. Is that really any better than Apple or Google telemetry?
I don’t see how. Have you ever tried calling one of these lines in a suicide emergency? Things I’ve learned in California:
- an ambulance will not be dispatched unless you physically witness someone trying to kill themselves
- otherwise, they send the police
- the police arrive without training and severely escalate the situation
- the person having an emergency will be taken into custody and stripped of rights until being medically evaluated (not arrested)
This is the program of an allegedly progressive state. After 2 experiences like this, adding trauma to already traumatic situations, I would never recommend these hotlines.
Mame Sama - A free Android/iOS app for finding vegan resources (primarily within, but not limited to, Japan). Essentially it's Instagram with a location requirement. While not-yet-open-source, that is the plan. I wanted to build something without any intention to monetize it, while relying on the community to contribute to its success and maintenance.
Backend is zig, frontend is in Flutter. First foray into zig and I'm really enjoying it.
I've noticed something else particular to my native tongue. It lacks emotion. I just don't really know how to express myself in English. I can speak very technically and logically, but I'm stumped when it comes to matters of the heart.
My Japanese, on the other hand, isn't fluent, but I'm able to tap into way more emotion. It feels as if I'm singing when I nail a great sentence in nihongo. It really lands with the listener and I feel emotionally connected in that moment.
Could this be related to the increased brain activity required for foreign language?
I use maybe functions a lot for things like "maybeShowReminderDialog". The conditions for displaying the reminder are wrapped in this maybe function.
Surely that's simpler than specifying those conditions before every call to show this dialog, resulting in plenty of duplicated code. And if those conditions change, there is only one place I need to update it.
Of course I can make a single operation to check those conditions like "shouldShowReminder", but that too is doubling the surface area of this code.
I see the merit of the argument here but disagree with the absolutist stance against "maybe" functions.
Can you list some of those shops? I'm hard pressed to find one that isn't selling items that were drop-shipped to them from Aliexpress/baba and then marked up. It may not be direct from the manufacturer, but going from N-middlemen to 1-middleman is about the best you can do right now.
Anna wasn’t a birder though. She was royalty given tribute by Rene Lesson. Anne d'Essling‘s only connection to ornithology is through marriage. So why does she get a bird?
This is the only example referenced of which I know its origins. However it illustrates an issue with names that have no connection to the science of birds. The naming as tribute was surely transactional in some way (to curry favor perhaps) and really should be replaced.
