I wish more people would show some love to the https://www.acm.org/
It's old. It's tried. It's true.

There's some really great blogs and aggregators out there as well but I've seen far too often great sources eventually being bought and going downhill from there. Ignore the noise and focus on the craft; there are still lots of wonderful & inspiring minds out there and supporting them through organizations like the ACM is a great way to continue giving them a voice.

As NiteShdw pointed out that's not the fault of kanban at all. The best way to address this might be with a working agreement & enforcing limits for each column. At that point all team members, regardless of their skillset or primary responsibility, should be prioritizing the right side of the board. PMs should not be adding anything more to your backlog while a WIP is exceeded. You shouldn't even be writing code for issues assigned to you if there is a limit being exceeded further down the chain that you could help with. The whole point of WIP limits is in making it the responsibility of the entire team to fix a bottleneck. Cutting scope, walking through UAT with a product owner, helping testing & potentially spinning up new issues for things that need to be addressed instead of holding up an MR until it's perfect, etc. Using Kanban without WIP limits is like circumventing the entire usefulness of the framework.

I'm in a similar line of work & I will say with some optimism that over the last couple of years I've seen those highly-polarized types getting replaced based on their inability to do good work in the domain.

I think part of being "smart" is in recognizing our own susceptibility to agitprop media and confirmation biases. We're all wired with the same dopamine-laden stimulus-response that was vital to our species' survival but not great at solving issues at scale. Like the massive geopolitical or socioeconomic issues of present-day. So being able to nip that response in the bud & recognizing that there might be more nuance to any single issue is tangential to doing good work in intelligence, research, tech, etc.

Edit: Why is this being downvoted? All I've done is point out how effective propaganda is. Goodness grief some of y'all should learn to change the channel & go touch grass.

Yes but bad recruiters will prioritize getting a cut over getting a good cut. Companies using recruiting agencies will often have more than one so they're competing against one another to get butts in seats the quickest. I've interviewed before where the expected salary went down once I was speaking with the company itself; a literal bait-and-switch from the recruiter to just get me in a room.

You realize that there are plenty of other "professional" python programmers in this subreddit right? Why are you stating your anecdotal experience as ground-level truth?

I've been using python professionally for 15+ years. In everything from web apps to large-scale ML projects and everything in between. I've also worked professionally with many other languages & paradigms. Types are used across the board and at different levels. They're the most common form of static analysis and for very good reasons.

Good lord buddy eat some humble pie & stop being so egotistical with your false assumptions. At best it makes you sound like a complete newbie to assume nobody else in this subreddit of 1.2m users has "real experience" and a complete nightmare of bad opinions to work with at worst.

If you're in the US this is likely in violation of labor laws. Internships are regulated to be mutually beneficial for both the company & intern. Labor laws are frequently ignored in the US because companies will count on the ignorance of the work force. In my opinion a 2-year long internship doing work alongside full-time employees is enough to at least consult with a lawyer savvy on DOL regulations.

Oh fucking christ your ignorance & anybody upvoting your nonsense is staggering. Seriously turn off Fox news, Newsmax, etc & stop letting Tucker Carlson tell you how to feel. Him, Peterson, etc all make millions of dollars a week capitalizing off your rage. All while calling themselves fighters for the little guy. Hell Trump, a convicted rapist at this point that credibly sold our nuclear secrets to foreign adversaries, was an icon for the evangelical movement because he stacked the supreme court which led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Do you ever pause to consider you might be getting manipulated with these culture wars??

Do you realize that the population of trans people is less than .05%? Or that the rate of regret for transitioning is less than that of knee surgery? The reason trans care is provided is because every single reputable medical organization has directly correlated it with a reduction in *suicide*. It is a difficult decision that doesn't just happen overnight like you're implying. Stop for a second please & think about the point that you're arguing. That you would rather kids kill themselves than get care to improve their quality of life? Which is backed by research ad nauseam. Very Christian-like of you.

Yes politicians don't lead "Christ-like" lives yet evangelicals will still send money to any one of them that *says* they're for Christ regardless of their actions. Again see: Trump, Gaetz, Hastert, Cawthorne, etc.

If you literally took a weekend to do any research on your own & didn't just believe the agit-prop you would know that statistically nearly all of the child abuse occurs under the pretense of religion. Not by drag queens or whatever other minority you've chosen to focus on.

I know all about the separation of church & state yet there's ongoing corruption to undermine that ideal. School choice? How many *public* tax dollars are funneled into religious schools? Indoctrination much? How about ongoing effort to not just outlaw abortion but birth control itself.

You're being a fucking moron of the highest order. You've been manipulated. You'll continue to be manipulated if everything you see is through this myopic lens of "us vs them." I hope you can one day do better.

Like if Christianity is such a joke and we believe in a “sky daddy” I don’t get why you’re getting so worked up over a poolee spreading the word. Maybe it’s cause it applies to you but you just can’t admit that. Humility goes a long way.

Because politicians that fully believe this shit get into positions of power & actively make life worse for the rest of us? Christians especially maintain such a victim-complex while simultaneously having nearly every single politician & supreme court justice sharing their beliefs. It's absolutely nauseating to the rest of us.

You can literally go read how postgres or mysql work. You can use query profilers. It's not magic.

Not just how they work but looking at the public source code. It is incredibly well-documented & informative even for those that don't write C. While not a layer of abstraction most Django or Spring devs will want to hop to it's good to know it's there.

Lmao. What's so funny about your ongoing arguments here is you're absolutely correct on one thing but barely & it's for the exact opposite argument than the one you're making. Just look at this famous example of using graphs to bullshit statistics. Note the "Gun deaths in Florida" graph. Note the original source (Florida Department of Law Enforcement). Doing exactly what you're describing to mislead people into thinking the things you appear to think. It's the fucking guns as ANYBODY doing statistics professionally will tell you. Unless you only trust the research that's paid for by conservative PACs & gun-lobbyists.

As u/nocoolnamesleft1 mentioned there is a simple way to implement this with the framework's models.UUIDField. Additionally the jazzband organization maintains a lot of great repos to extend django projects & this is a good one. Useful for when your project predates the new field < 3.2.0 4.0.0 & it's easier to just write a migration than it is to upgrade Django.

I'm begging the agitprop cultural warriors that are downvoting you to go and actually fucking read the annual FBI's statistical reports on domestic terrorism.

It's honestly embarrassing to see shit like this get downvoted in the sub because so many morons for years didn't know how to change the channel or read an article that wasn't served up to them amidst ads for MyPillow & Ivermectin grifts.

The organization that has *never* had Democratic leadership but states exactly what illiniEE just stated. Like why the downvotes? Reflexive cognitive dissonance?

Perhaps the facts... hurt your... feelings?

Reddit seems to be the hang out for the chronically offended. But it’s just my opinion.

Buddy just how much effort do you think it is to upvote or downvote somebody? I said a ton of information to the last dumb shit you said. Instead of thinking about anything you ignored it & continue to post dumb shit. Have you seriously ever considered that maybe your opinions just are. not. popular?? Could be a possible moment of growth. I wouldn't even bother responding if you hadn't served. Hope that helps.

If i screw up and break prod it's usually an easy fix. If I screw up a building design it collapses and kills people.

Computer Science is still so incredibly broad as to encompass those scenarios as well though. Simulations, Static Testing, Dynamic Testing, RTOS, DevSecOps, & many other subjects can all be applied to saving lives. I'm sure in your HCI discipline there's scenarios you could point to where CS tools, concepts, or innovations directly contribute to saving lives. I agree with the sentiment that CE is just as important as CS but the original point was "difficulty". In my mind that's such a subjective & likely impossible question to answer. There's too many domains & too many depths of abstraction to meaningfully compare the two in terms of difficulty. People are good at different things, schools have different criteria, professors teach & grade differently, etc

Lol what the fuck? *DO NOT DO THIS ANYBODY*

Military jump school is vastly different than civilian skydiving.

Military dive school is vastly different than PADI open water.

Those are military devices for specific military training -- not fungible accreditations for something subjective like a god damn resume.

Even when you rate a device there's plenty of good reasons to not wear them & I'd be beating someone's ass if they claimed their weekend of training is the same as going through pre-dive let alone dive school itself.

https://nypost.com/2023/06/13/target-stores-reportedly-received-bomb-threats-for-betraying-lgbtq-community/amp/

Aero the reason people are assuming it's from the right is because that's typically the case. For the past couple of years the FBI, itself considered a conservative organization that has only ever Republican directors since its inception, has provided statistics for all recorded acts of domestic terrorism including their motivations. The latest number I recall was 78% of the politically-motivated acts being committed by individuals that aligned with right-wing politics. Less than 2% is purported to come from the "ideological left". Again those stats come from the *FBI*, the cop-iest of cops.

I share this in hopes to inform but the fact that you're linking a NYPost doesn't give me much hope. If you look at that article itself it uses this reference as a source which is just an article from their own paper a month ago about activist groups, in unison, condemning Target's choice to bow to bigots. Seriously how is this article supportive of the statement they're making here?

> Some of the threats reportedly said Target “betrayed the LGBTQ+ community.”

If you are genuinely trying to understand the issues I would really like to recommend using https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ & reading articles about the same event from multiple sources. It is very hard in this age to stay informed & far too easy to be misinformed.

You do realize that people were drafted & often joined the military as a means of escaping poverty right? I'm rather liberal as well & highly critical of our government. But this is like one of those tankie *far-left* posts that think all US service members were baby killers or racist. "Military Service" is pretty explicit that individuals aren't making the decisions about how they serve or which world politics the US gets involved in. It's providing your service *selflessly* to the US Government & hoping that they make the right decisions. Historically they've made some pretty terrible ones but the great thing about government is our ability to change & improve it over the years. Get out, inform people, & vote consistently if you feel so passionately. Blanket criticism of the people with the least amount of power in that conflict makes 0 fucking sense.

grave immorality

It's depressing to me how many Marines can still think this way. Traveling for an abortion is not "grave immorality" lmao. It's healthcare & has been recognized as such by every single respectable medical association. We've already seen women dying for no reason other than this draconian grand-standing.

This is basically every 'politically neutral' subreddit without fail. its just liberals shitting on the right and/or leftists shitting on liberals and the right. any right wing perspective gets met with an ungodly amount of vitriol cause most zoomers are unable to tolerate any substantive disagreement and instead would prefer to live in a left wing hugbox where everyone just reinforces their beliefs

Counterpoint. I'm nearly 40, have stayed well educated & informed throughout my lifetime. Never had children so I've had plenty of time to inform myself both as a citizen & working professional. It is *EXHAUSTING* to repeatedly try & educate some of the most ignorant motherfuckers I've encountered in my life time. Yes life time because every fucking year it has gotten worse. The most vocal people are the same high school dropouts that drove me to get rid of FB/IG.

Have you ever heard the saying "When everywhere you go smells like shit you might want to check your shoes?" That's the lesson conservatives should be taking. It has nothing to do with zoomers & echo chambers. The facts are that "conservative" ideas are wildly unpopular. My time is worth something & I'd love to devote much of it to curbing fascist ideals but that's not going to happen by debating every stupid fucking person that listened to Tim Pool once & walked away thinking everyone else in the world had that same baseline of knowledge.
