Why are the three Chrome derivatives missing features Chrome has? Is it a porting issue or are they just that far behind on pulling in upstream changes?

I was ready to be pissed if I couldn’t do likewise into the lava.

I feel like the careful design of encounters went out the window with Act 3. Twice this week I tried to use Telekinesis to throw someone and couldn’t because low railings were in the way. I’m also getting a ton more red lines when shoving people.

I was kinda sad that using Telekinesis to drop a >!Steel Watcher on top of a Gondian!< didn’t do more damage.

DHH is a contrarian. Any benefits of the cloud he might get are overridden by the fact that he needs to be different (and blog about it).

See his stances on Typescript, workplace inclusion, TDD, etc.

If you did a fully custom character the first time, try playing as the Dark Urge origin. There’s a good story there that you wouldn’t have experienced elsewise.

The actual numbers speak for themselves and the clear motivation for this feature.

About 91% of the victims of rape were riders and about 7% of the victims were drivers. Women made up 81% of the victims while men comprised about 15%

Uber releases safety data: 998 sexual assault incidents including 141 rape reports in 2020

Women Plus were 85% of the victims. This is despite the “ways” Uber has implemented to increase safety.

riders were the accused party 43% of the time in sexual assault incident reports

Your comment makes no sense given the details provided in the article. The toggle runs a gender-based sort on available passengers when a driver indicates they’re ready to pick up a new passenger.

  • Male driver, without this toggle, indicates they’re ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
  • Female+ driver, with this toggle off, indicates they’re ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
  • Female+ driver, with this toggle on, indicates they’re ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by gender then current algorithms.

At no point does the pool of available passengers for male drivers decrease.

Explain how sorting the list of available passengers by gender is discrimination? It’s being rolled out in huge metropolitan markets so there will be enough drivers for everyone to get one.

flumph,
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

The option allows customers to prioritize drivers…

Nope, it doesn’t. The feature is for drivers, not passengers.

flumph,
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

The protected category doesn’t matter, I don’t see how anyone is getting a leg up or being held back by the feature.

You’ve changed the perspective to potential wait time for male passengers. That may be true but it doesn’t have an adverse impact on male drivers, which is what was stated in the comment I replied to.

It is objectively always better to be in the women+ group than outside of it.

Based on Ubers data, women+ are raped five times as often in ride shares. “Objectively” I bet a lot of women+ would choose “maybe a longer wait” over “5x chance of being raped”.

And? It would take a trivial amount of effort to spin up VMs and install the game on each. If I immediately tear the VM down after, I’m sure my cost would be covered by free AWS credits.

What? I’ve never played a game that limited the number of times I could install it.

You shouldn’t avoid platforms just because they have non-free websites, that’s extreme bro.

Yeah. The idea of not using a domain registrar because they optimize for the 90% use case (web management) seems pretty extreme to me. But if OP is against web sites, I don’t know how they’ll read the docs for something like using Terraform to manage domains at Cloudflare. It is an option but it’s also the 10% use case.

The “Product Led Growth” crowd doesn’t care about charging based on what things cost. They only care about what the buyer will tolerate. The “value metric” that pisses me off the most is per user pricing when the service doesn’t incur costs per user.

It also gives amazing domain names: www.BentCarrot.com

I’m curious about using the same store for passwords and TOTP. Technically if someone gets screwed to your database, they have both your factors, yes? But I guess it does thwart someone trying to brute force your password.

If I’m reading this right, it’s a digested form of something else in those vegetables. So adding broccoli to toothpaste isn’t going to cut it. (Although I’m sure some brand on IG is already manufacturing that)

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use... (rdx.overdevs.com)

I posted about that here and forgot < lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

flumph,

Unless Reddit’s TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it’s still your problem and not theirs.

That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It’ll probably never amount to anything.

I too want my query results in an object, but thankfully libraries like sqlx for golang can do this without the extra overhead of an ORM. You give them a select query and they spit out hydrated objects.

As far as multiple DBs go, you can accomplish the same thing as long as you write ANSI standard SQL queries.

I’ve used ORMs heavily in the past and might still for a quick project or for the “command” side of a CQRS app. But I’ve seen too much bad performance once people move away from CRUD operations to reports via an ORM.

flumph,
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Right. Even pay-once software can have a phone home component that disables it if the creator deems it. So really we’re talking about old versions of software that just used offline license keys which were easily cracked.

I honestly really like the Jetbrains model where they offer a subscription for continual updates but you also get a fallback version you can use forever if you decide to stop paying. It acknowledges that you aren’t costing them money if you aren’t getting the new updates.

Please don’t say the new language you’re being asked to learn is “unintuitive”. That’s just a rude word for “not yet familiar to me”.

Yeah. I’ve written in six or so different languages and am using Go now for the first time. Even then, I’m trying to be optimistic and acknowledge things are just different or annoying for me. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with the language.

Today I removed code from a codebase that was added in 2021 and never ever used. Sadly, some people are as content to litter in their repo as they are in the woods.

flumph,

Code review is overrated and often poorly executed, most things should be checked automatically (review should still be done though)

I think part of this is caused by the fact that a lot of people are bad at code reviews so they focus on things that a linter could have told you. Being able to read code isn’t necessarily the same skill as being able to write it – as evidenced by the knee jerk reaction to throw out any coffee we didn’t write ourselves.

I still create code reviews when I’m working on a project alone because it gives me a different perspective on the changes I’ve made.

I’m not convinced that “strong pairing” is the best way to pair but even people who rail against agile ideology tell you that you’re pairing wrong if you don’t follow it precisely.

Jetbrains IDEs do a lot of indexing and caching so that operations that normally take a bit are faster. Full text search, find usages, identifying interface usage in duck types, etc.

But the killer feature for me is the refactoring tools. Changing a function signature, extracting an interface, moving code to new files or packages, etc. I pair with folks who use VS Code and its a bit tedious watching them use find and replace for renaming things.

I’ve never been able to benefit from an IDE in a way that make up for how much slower and more bloated they are.

That does sound legit if you have resource limitations. Thankfully I’ve always worked for corporations that hand out MacBook Pros like candy. Normal day for me is having two Jetbrains IDEs open with Chrome, Slack, Zoom, and a dozen containers. Still runs smooth.

flumph,
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Interesting. I’ll have to find some docs and share it with my co-workers because they definitely don’t use build-in refactoring. Thanks!

On top of this, they don’t care about best practices. They’re shit managers who were better at getting promoted than managing people.

Meetings on Zoom suck? Well, you don’t use agendas, meeting notes, etc. Your meetings always sucked, you’re just missing the dopamine hit from socializing on the way to and from the meeting.

Bad employee relations? Well, your 1:1s are really only status calls. Your relations always sucked, you’re just missing talking to Bill about your kids when you corner him at the coffee machine.

Missing team bonding? Well, your team went to happy hour to bitch about you. They always hated trust falls. You just miss hanging out with your yes-chums.

What language are you familiar with? Switching between the C-style OOP languages is honestly pretty straightforward.

flumph,
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, I’d say your road to C# should pretty much be syntax then. Check out a course on exercism and read a bit about common idioms in C#.

Not trying to argue, but could you expand on “anti-competitive behavior” a bit? I recently installed the Epic Store on my phone and found it pretty straightforward.

flumph,

Yeah. I had the experience you described. Not sure if it’s because I have a newer version of Android or stock Android experience.

Yeah, it’s just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going “X, formerly known as Twitter” forever.

What’s a situation where you need an unused variable? I’m onboard with go and goland being a bit aggressive with this type of thing, but I can’t think of the case where I need to be able to commit an unused variable.
