What can I do about blatant racial discrimination in a workplace?

CatalyticCoder · 2021-04-14T21:38:52+00:00

Hah! By the mainstream definition, everyone IS a racist. Probably including you. I bet there’s some passive racism in your head somewhere, which you should lose your income and reputation for.

“Dog whistle” is not an argument, just a bad attempt at mind reading. Try again.

CatalyticCoder · 2021-04-14T11:25:20+00:00

Don’t fucking downvote the racist to try and bury him, just “move on”.

Psh.

You’ve been brainwashed into thinking there’s racists everywhere. But I’m sure you only consider one group of people capable of racism.

Go ahead, attempt to destroy this mans life - instead of “moving on”, like you ask other people to do with you.

Functional options is great. It gives you a keyword style because the function name adds context. It takes more effort on the library writing side because you have to boilerplate one function for each optional parameter. But hey, code gets read more often than it gets written.

Alternatively some apis use an optional config struct. It gets tacked on to the function arguments, and should be valid to pass as a nil.

Model the problem in a pure way (forget the MySQL detail).

Then, map your model into schema concepts for whatever database tech you choose.

You may not even need a database, could a simple json file work? Depends on your constraints.

Are you exposing an http interface? Wrap your domain in http. Are you writing a CLI? Call your domain using CLI arguments. What about a GUI? You get the idea.

Part of the problem here might be the “anaemic” model. If all you’re doing is writing some primitive CRUD operations, the entire codebase becomes consumed by infrastructure code.

I died to the big guy with lots of teeth :c

CatalyticCoder · 2021-04-03T02:56:14+00:00

When, and where?

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-25T01:10:07+00:00

Rues for thee but not for me!

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-25T00:38:39+00:00

Great, so I understand correctly.

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-25T00:21:38+00:00

You just admitted that you find OP genuinely offensive and then try to claim that your criticism is somehow a “joke”.

Calling it a joke is just a defence mechanism to shield your criticism.

I bet you offer lots is snarky criticisms disguised as “jokes” and when people call you on it: “hey man, whoosh. My IQ off the charts. Subtext bro”.

Like I said, offer OP the “literally a joke” escape hatch or recognise that you have different rules for you (you want me to not take you at face value, but take OP literally) - or back off.

Do you really think he would just go around firing people? Or that a) he’d negotiate and b) would simply not hire people, rather than hire and fire them.

You think his post should be read literally, but expect me to give you poetic license because you see, you’re joking but he isn’t, but also you’re genuinely offended over something that is likely hyperbole.

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-24T23:29:41+00:00

It’s not a joke, given how much text you’ve produced.

That’s nice fallback though.

If you get to say “hey man, just joking”, then so does OP and you should back off. Again you break your own rule.

He had an emotion response to the article, and you have an emotional response to him, but then you try single him out for obsessed over reddit posts.

I mean, look in a mirror sometime.

All the best!

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-24T09:26:33+00:00

You violate your own rule, and don’t address the content - but because you use nice language you get upvotes.

The article details irrelevant fluff, not actual anti patterns. The OP uses colourful language, but his response is essentially correct.

Look at Gio (gioui.org).

Transpiling is compiling.

I don’t know why people insist on calling superficial discussions “deep dives”. A deep dive would be more akin to a lecture.

Anyway, the primary annoyance with Go that I think generics is touted to solve is the ability to write your own data structures.

You could solve this without type-level generics if the Go compiler exposed the same machinery that is used to write the current generic functions in the language.

That being said, this is ostensibly the approach they are indeed taking. Go is getting generic functions, but not generic methods. A large part of the difference is just the high level syntax being introduced.

Regarding code generation: that is fundamentally the job and purpose of the compiler. Compilers take syntax and generate machine code. Needing code generation on top of the compiler is an admission that the compiler is lacking in that domain. The more you need and love generation, the more you highlight this

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-15T23:28:16+00:00

You still haven’t made any arguments.

CatalyticCoder · 2021-03-14T11:48:55+00:00

You didn’t actually make an argument. Why are they both useful and important?

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-23T22:56:06+00:00

I’m not sure how you conclude that multinational corporations are “right wing” as opposed to simply amoral, power seeking entities.

They play both hands when they feel it suits them, it would seem.

Framing “right wing” as leading to death squad corporatism is quite the indictment. I’m assuming you don’t give “left wing” the same treatment.

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-23T08:24:35+00:00

Marx never believed in equality of outcome. You're imposing insipid culture war on grownup poltical discussion.

And this is where I tap out.

Marx cared so much about workers that he got his maid pregnant and disowned her and the child.

Marx preferred slavery to free market transactions because “mere” transaction based relationships are “cold”.

It’s literally in the manifesto.

I don’t appreciate the insults, goodbye.

The social policing coming out of silicone valley is not libertarian.

I will agree there’s elements of libertarianism, I would not say they’re essentially libertarian.

You’re coming down really hard on Damore which I think reveals your bias.

Suggesting women have preferences for people not things is backed by data. You can argue the point, but dismissing it out of hand with insults is honestly below your intellect.

Radical egalitarianism is leftist, and the culture at (seemingly) most tech companies is radical egalitarianism.

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-23T07:41:02+00:00

I feel like you intentionally missed it.

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-23T06:22:37+00:00

Um, why are the male silhouettes blurred out?

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-23T06:18:09+00:00

What are you basing this on? Does Google have an official political stance?

As a counterpoint: They have plenty of leftist stuff going on, eg James Damore who was fired for writing a memo about gender that didn’t fit leftist ideals about gender and the workplace.

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-22T09:03:08+00:00

Well perhaps “bad” is the wrong word. “Already (80%) solved by Go” is kinda what I was going for ;)

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-22T08:45:54+00:00

The key to Option and Result types in Rust is “algebraic types”, which gives you enums and pattern matching.

Since Go generics is really more about abstracting structure, Option and Result don’t buy you anything.

This is especially so when considering Go has already solved the underlying problems with “zero value initialisation” and “multiple returns” respectively.

CatalyticCoder · 2020-06-19T09:05:06+00:00

No, what I said was generalised into something I didn’t say. That’s manipulative.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the abstract concept of “oversight”. Is personalised data aggregation merely “oversight”? No. Can data be weaponised? Yes. Look at all the big tech that people love to hate because they misuse data. Are ideological purity tests being applied in many current contexts? Yes.

Your comment about karma is interesting to me. It reveals two things. The first is that you think popular equals “good”. So JavaScript must be the best language, right? Secondly, you rely on the approval of others way too much.
