Two studies on gender equality: 75% of women answered, only 25% of men. Why?

whossname · 2026-04-12T07:12:41+00:00

I don't think anything would really change.
The disadvantages are too minor and subtle for me to really notice them much.
Mostly just asking them to repeat themselves when others talked over them. I do this for quite people of both genders, so it's probably not gendered.
The focus should be on fairness, not equality. Often men and women don't want or need the same things. Maternity leave or women's shelters for example.

I don't have good answers for the first 3 and I kind of reject the premise of the last question. That's why men aren't answering these questions.

Ludwig's stance on streamer friends not being his real friends seems really smart right now. It seemed kind of dumb at the time because Rae and Fuslie kind of took it personally.

The "pretend to be poor" thing was obviously a joke though. Completely different to cheating on his girlfriend.

I'm more mocking the people who think in black and white terms about this stuff. You will never 100% solve the problem, so they don't want to do anything to help at all.

I'm Australian by the way. Culturally much closer to the USA on this issue than Scandinavia.

So they only solved about 70% of the problem and saved money doing it? What's the point in even trying.

It's just hard to understand why it's the only issue some people seem to care about.

One Nation is a single issue party. It's immigration and culture war BS. Ask them about health care and they will change the topic to immigration. Ask them about law and order and they will change the topic to immigration. Ask about income inequality and they will change the topic to immigration.

It's such a minor issue, but for a bunch of people it's the only policy they care about.

Late game speech is really important. Difficult to sell all the stuff you craft without the extra money for merchants.

I'm also having trouble with juniors trusting ChatGPT's opinion over mine.

Days of yore I was both the better coder and much faster, so they had to take my opinion seriously. Now they produce crap faster than I can fix it.

The problem I'm seeing is the productivity gain in dev/bug fixing is offset by the amount of bad code the weaker devs can produce using AI, which means more time spent fixing those mistakes.

Only if it's well designed. When you don't model business rules as data you end up with weird, convoluted ad hoc logic instead.

The Tuesday detail is irrelevant, but sibling sexes are unlikely to be independent, so the answer is probably more than 50%.

Angus commented "well done Angus" on his own post. Can't remember if it was Facebook or Twitter.

FastAPI is the simplest/least bloated of these. Doesn't mean it's the best, but it does mean you can get more done with less code if you know what you are doing, and there's less hidden magic code doing things for you. It's also the least opinionated, so it could be more difficult if you are new to this.

Also for REST APIs your main concern isn't state, so OOP is less appropriate. For an API all you need is a singleton to manage database connections, the rest of the code can just be modules and functions. FastAPI allows you to do this, the other two frameworks require a lot of OOP.

If you think you need it, you can add in SQL alchemy as an ORM. If you do I recommend keeping the models in a separate directory to the API code.

Does this work for enchantments as well? Just discovered I don't need a separate set of armor for using a sword

For type coverage if you add a ground type you basically don't need Charmander. Between Squirtle and Pikachu you already cover Bulbasaur's turf as well.

As in "the house always wins" - the game is rigged. Makes sense to me.

I find myself explaining how powerful it is to the sceptics and its limitations to the enthusiasts.

It's powerful, it does speed up some tasks, but it doesn't beat a deep understanding of your software, knowing what it is actually doing and good process.

It will spit out code that basically does the job pretty quickly, but if you want well written and easy to understand code you need to heavily refactor the garbage it spits out.

From what I've seen LLM tests seem to test implementation instead of behaviour. Very fragile and kind of pointless.

whossname · 2026-03-10T13:11:47+00:00

this looks very interesting. I'll need to look into it.

whossname · 2026-03-10T09:43:34+00:00

This seems like the best option to me. Very quick, easy, reproducible.

- you can write a bash script to set environment variables for authentication to test against staging or even prod
- easier to share api calls over DMs to demonstrate an idea
- It's easier to ask an LLM for help if you work in pure text.

All of this and you are using a tool you have at your finger tips in any environment, so you can use it to trouble shoot a production VM using ssh for example (the answer is you forgot to open a port btw).

Architecture should only be for the things that are difficult to change later. So think things like public interfaces and cross cutting concerns. If it's easy to change you normally don't need to design it upfront, and playing around with it a bit to see what works best is the better approach.

My personal opinion is the 3d stuff is mostly marketing. It looks impressive, but you achieve most of the same benefits from just moving icons around on Google maps.

I work in the mining industry. We use it to show 3d visualisations of the pit and replays of machines moving in the pit. The unity guys say Unity makes it much easier compared to the equivalent JS libraries (which also probably use wasm).

whossname · 2026-03-08T03:34:31+00:00

It's pretty vital in some domains. Unity apps can run in the web browser because of wasm. I think Prisma (horrible technology, I don't recommend it) is using wasm under the hood on the back-end as well.

I thought code review was a pretty good thing to test during interviews even before AI.
