@deshipu most of our bugs usually come from inconsistencies between systems. So, API and integration tests would be more helpful. Especially before writing and deploying the implementation.
@deshipu the third parties are fairly complex to emulate. so it is probably not very practical. We control the cache but the earliest starting point of the caches are the external providers.
I have been messing around with CSS since 2007. Yet I cannot say that I got the hang of layouting. Although I agree that it is a skill issue, I have to insist that it should not need this much skill to align bunch of buttons.
Morgen sind die Bauernschaften und der See hier wieder voll mit Leuten, die besoffen einen Bollerwagen mit Alkohol durch die Gegend ziehen und dabei laute Musik spielen.
@cjk ah libretranslate. You did it again:
In the morning, the peasants and the lake are filled with people who are drunken by a boulevard car with alcohol and play loud music.
I think some people have misunderstood utilitarianism.
Your good work is not measured by how you intended it to effect the world, but by how it actually effected the world.
So saying I did this for greater good is worthless. Showing that you actually achieved a greater good is the point
So making money in the name of effective altruism is as good as shit.
Create actual good.
Actually, wealth redistribution using tax is much more effective than hoping a billionaire does the right thing.
@deshipu the thing is, you have the same shit with other philosophies. It is really hard to prove intention. But we use evidence to make reasonable certainty about intention.
If you hoard billions of dollars, you should spend millions researching how to effectively spend those. Something that I never see in the cases where effective altruism is used as a way to look good while ripping people of millions.
@deshipu yes. Exactly. If they actually cared, I am definite that there would be much less billionaires in the world.
About the problem with behavior, it is just easy to say thay I have donated so much money on good causes. The behavior is good. The cause is a sham. You have fucked over millions of people for a PR.
You could also spend sometime and effort making sure that your actions have desirable consequences.
@deshipu there is this building in london made by Norman Foster. Meticulously designed to be extremely environmentally friendly. The building ended up wasting crazy amounts of energy because the architect did not spend time researching the requirement, ever mitigation and strategy ended up backfiring. Intentions were good, behavior were good, the consequence was shit.
At this point, I think we should accept that there is no rule, not even rules of thumb governing over genders in German language. Each time some one suggest a rule, it takes less than 10 seconds to say:
"Actually, in 40% percent of cases this rule does not apply."
the best good habit regarding code I picked up during the years: order parameters always in the same way. It is not really important which order, but keep it the same order across your code.
@cjk I see.
Yeah. agreed. I have somewhere in the lib that I made for my company that I reversed a positioning in of the functions, I regret it ever since, and now it is widely used in around 15 applications. I cannot change it now, and I hate my self for it.
As far as I can see, Perma Computing community is too focused on the artistic aspect of computing. Which hardly covers the most energy intensive, ubiquitous parts of the computing world.
Unless the conversation is taken to tackle higher impact fields, the output of the community is more like the conceptual fashion shows:
a vanity demonstration. A limited proof of concept.
