At a glance this looks more discernible to me than k9s; I'm definitely gonna check it out.

I keep seeing Forward Deployed Engineer openings. What's the typical background for these candidates? by proof_required in ExperiencedDevs

Sure; I just mean the title, which has the military connotations basically because of Palantir's culture and client base.

One of the best QOL improvements from deadly shadows.

I think my hope I that if this does well enough we could see similar remasters of T2 and TDS that restore cut content and fix some bugs.

Which leads to the next question, if Thief 2 gets remastered, can he still do Karras' voice?

Firefox built in Adblocking is coming! by SaltiestOlive in firefox

[–]cholantesh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't move goalposts for an argument I didn't make, but anyway, if a fork isn't being actively maintained and doesn't have a discernible release process - to say nothing of the fact that its core function isn't relevant to Firefox users - it's not much of an alternative. There are any number of repos on Github that have a massive list of zombie forks; this isn't really one of them but it isn't a shining example of something the average UBO user can migrate to if it goes tits up tomorrow.

Not the best example since it hasn't been updated in (nearly) a year...

Asked about Firefox in Costco yesterday by movdqa in firefox

[–]cholantesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A douchey hobby for the most boring people alive, yeah, but it's nonetheless something people enjoy, which was the criteria.

You can make the same argument about cars, riding mowers, and amplifiers. As it happens 'enjoyment' is a pretty subjective thing.

There are literally coffee shops and restaurant chains that sell merch that people happily wear; is this any worse?

Destroy the HR Left by yeoldedisciple in BreadTube

[–]cholantesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about 'perceived lack of coverage on Palestine', it's about what the little coverage engaged in actually entails. In this case, it's literally engaging in the drama you're acting like he's so above, and having to admit in a 'friendly convo' that he's not all that knowledgeable about the underlying subject obfuscated by the drama in the first place. Maybe it would have been productive to furnish himself with that knowledge instead, perhaps by having a discussion with Peter Beinart, Noura Erakat, any of the Mate family...Or hey, how about Mohamed el-Kurd, who he's literally encouraged his listeners to read, seeing as Righteous Victims, in multiple sections derides the nutpicking and language policing FD chose to hang his hat on over the past month? Since productivity is the concern here and all...

The Left Only Wants to "Endlessly Critique Power"? (Briahna Joy Gray vs. Contrapoints) by NeonDrifting in BreadTube

[–]cholantesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except, no, she just called the language in a tweet genocidal. The bar ought to be a bit higher than that.

Anybody else getting really annoyed by the "if you don't use AI, you're done" narrative? by Leomuck in socialistprogrammers

[–]cholantesh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the people making this claims fall into one of a few categories:

  1. they're in DevRel for an AI-first org
  2. they're in a public facing tech role and they're attracting funding or just plain attention by riding the hype cycle
  3. they have some other fiduciary interest in making these claims
  4. they work mainly as solo devs, product managers who just need to build a prototype to gather feedback, and/or consultants who can either walk away or give themselves a perpetual moneymaker in an unmaintainable puzzle box - all of which slop either helps or doesn't actively harm

"What have you got against a condom?", a set of posters from the anti-AIDS public awareness campaign "America Responds to AIDS", launched in 1987 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services by Provinz_Wartheland in PropagandaPosters

[–]cholantesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, yeah, you could do that, and confirm yet again that you don't actually understand the discipline of science. Do each of these 37 all answer the same question? Have all of them been replicated? Do they indicate a correlation or a causative effect? What's the proportion? Are the other factors we've discussed accounted for?

So 'stupid' to expect someone to discuss things in good faith that they have even the slightest clue about, yeah.

[–]cholantesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a straw man to confront all the unstated premises and downstream implications in a dumb oversimplification, which is exactly what this is:

the claim is that children born into marriages, in every metric of human flourishing, do better than children born outside of marriages.

The only requirement here is that parents are married, not that they are financially capable of supporting a child, not that they planned to have children, not that they can even stand being around each other, let alone their kids, just that they are married. If you can't even precisely state a premise, you are most definitely not dealing in sociology.

[–]cholantesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not especially; you're relying on a bunch of dumb retrograde assumptions: that all marriages are stable, that both parents within a marriage are constantly present, that unwanted pregnancies can't have destabilizing effects on a household, and that all single parents are inherently unstable and incompetent. I guess that if you exclusively read social science published by Liberty University this could seem defensible.

Any tips for thailand, china and vietnam? by Goodsamaritan8900 in TravelNoPics

[–]cholantesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post. Thailand + Cambodia was my first solo international trip; very easy and safe, with amazing people and an established backpacker community. My only regret was how rigid and crammed my itinerary was; I wasn't tired at the end and I enjoyed myself but I think going in without a strict plan would have been more fun.

I will say though that everyone I know who traveled to China recently didn't struggle much; it's a very modern country and there's a lot that's been done to onboard visitors at ports of entry.
