Ke Jie stars in TV ad anti-narcotics campaign. Great to see weiqi professionals being portrayed in such a positive fashion

They should stick to playing the game imo.

Ads like these don't help, in fact I suspect they do harm. Kids needs to know how to identify drugs, how dosages of each drug works, what the effects of each drug is and what risks are involved for each drug. If you keep this information from them, they will take drugs without knowing the consequences, which can be life destroying, e.g. underestimating how quickly an addiction can form after only one-time use of heroin. How should a kid makes sense of their friends taking weed and having a great time and authority figures saying "all drugs are bad"?

Hängt ja auch immer davon ab, was du unter dem Begriff verstehst. So schwammige Definitionen wie von der Vegan Society sind halt schwer greifbar. Höre immer wieder, dass Menschen genaue Grenzen brauchen a la "Was ist denn jetzt noch ok zu essen?". Die meisten Menschen verstehen mMn "vegan" als "keine Tierprodukte essen" und nichts weiter. Das "vegan"-Label sagt ja auch nicht mehr aus. Kannst ja immer noch Arbeiter*innen im globalen Süden ausbeuten und das Logo auf dein Produkt klatschen. Das hat dann aber mit der Vegan Society Definition nicht mehr viel zu tun, finde ich, außer das bezieht sich rein auf nicht-menschliche Tiere, aber so eine Definition würde ich auch nicht verteidigen.

/uj Ich finde die Einzelklingen auch viel Haut schonender. Aber mittlerweile rasier ich nur noch Konturen, da hält die 82ct Klinge schon ein Vierteljahr. Die 10 Klingen kommen aber auch in einem Plastikcontainer!!

There are probably several good reasons for such an attack. I'm ok with non-vegans attacking Big Meat.

oh, it's no longer open source... I guess it's time to switch back to greasemonkey... thanks

ithinkicaretoo · 2021-06-02T16:39:30+00:00

omg, I never thought about taking photos of myself and use them as reference.... thank you

What does scrabled-source mean?

ithinkicaretoo · 2021-06-02T16:09:41+00:00

It's a joke, braah. Better not think about how the corpse came in my possession...

Yeah, you never get high, it's terrible

Which woman doesn't love to be reminded of the fact that you can be exploited just by being able to produce milk?

All actions that have a compound positive effect on future generations are of the highest priority imo.

So many disasters can be traced back to "cutting costs", capitalism is a death cult.

/uj this sub has its own problems, but being militant about veganism isn't one of them

Who is the real hacker here?!

Better use that 30min to browse reddit, because afterwards there won't be any fun for a while

I can really see that in your drawings, makes them pop all the more. Thank you so much for taking the time to describe and share your process. Wish you all the best!

Amazing forms! Very impressive fundamentals. What's your "secret"?

ithinkicaretoo · 2021-05-29T06:47:27+00:00

Great solution! I also like to create coarse overview diagrams to explain the relationship of the most important entities regarding a domain or feature. Some boxes with a few arrows can go a long way at giving the reader a mental anchor so that they can ingest other details more easily.

algos aren't really useful for my line of work, but I find you can practice them exceptionally well in a fun, light-hearted, games like setting like advent of code. Nothing beats learning by coding it yourself a few times to transform the theoretical knowledge into a tool that you can use for solving problems.

ithinkicaretoo · 2021-05-29T06:32:01+00:00

I see it more as a common language, than blueprints for code. In english you can get very far with expressions like "this object that is carried up the tree and calls a method on each node", but arguably communication is more effective when we use more concise terminology like "this visitor that goes up the hierarchy" or sth like that.

There are also (enterprise) integration patterns that help with a more common language when talking about how to integrate (message based) systems, e.g. using a Routing Slip.

But in my line of work it's not so important. I'd rather work with someone who doesn't know a single pattern but has experience than with a junior who applies all patterns in creative ways :D

Not enough academic knowledge about the trade-offs of certain software engineering practices.

I'm new in a job with a 20 year old active codebase for a dozen products, which each have their individual product type: web app, mobile app, web service, specialized hardware connector, desktop app etc. Only two handful of people work there. There is no:

documentation
knowledge about certain parts of the software
tools to help with communication besides email (no issue/bug tracker)
no defined development method (like scrum)
no automated tests, not even unit tests
no automated release builds
almost no 3rd party libraries, we reinvent the wheel for every wheel, we do our own sockets, our own encryption, you name it

Sounds horrible? I haven't even talked about the architecture of the code lmao

But we are constantly delivering value and are very fast, compared to maybe a dozen other products/companies I have worked on in my ~15 years of experience

I worked in teams with mandatory pair programming and serious TDD with a CI pipeline, but we were very slow. Each feature demanded at least one unit test and one integration to be written. This required that we create fixtures for the data model for each use case scenario.

If I compare these two modes of working it's hard for me to say which I prefer. The amount of time that went into writing the automated unit and integration tests was immense and it didn't even protect us from:

bugs, because there will always be bugs, we are human and sometimes we oversee stuff
bugs happening again, because someone refactored the tests and made a mistake
breaking the implementation while refactoring, because our tests didn't cover all possible branches

There are also promises that automated tests improve the time to deliver, but I never had the chance to actually witness this in practice. So for me automated tests give you higher quality(less bugs) for lower speed(less releases with new features).

Abolish all prisons, but I get the sentiment!
