If only it were that easy to snap your fingers and magically transform your code base from C to Rust. Spoiler alert: It's not.

How utterly disingenuous. That's not what the CISA recommendation says, at all.

As if the new notepad wasn't already enough of a downgrade.

It actually took me multiple trues to get into Stardew. The whole "track down everyone" quest is intimidating for a lot of people.

Up to you if you think it's worth keeping at it, for the possibility of getting hooked later.

I mean, the book of Revelations is indeed a prophecy.

The biggest hole in WASM right now is being able to DO anything really useful in it, natively. The only thing you can do natively right now is use the CPU. Can't manipulate the DOM. Can't access local storage or cookies or networking APIs, etc. You can call out to arbitrary JS code, but that's it.

This is great for some of the big JS libraries that have very CPU-heavy workloads they can optimize in WASM and call to from JS. Like frequently parsing and re-parsing HTML. Or doing game physics calculations.

I haven't heard word one about WHEN any of this will be available. Which is particularly troubling, given how long people have been begging for it.

Of course, none of this stops you from using WASM in the real world, to do quite a lot of things. You're just gonna have to deal with JS interop, still, do do anything really useful.

This really reads to me like the perspective of a business major whose only concept of productivity is about what looks good on paper. He seems to think it's a desirable goal for EVERY project to be completed with 0 latency. That's absurd. If every single incoming requirement is a "top priority, this needs to go out as soon as possible" that's a management failure. They either need to ACTUALLY prioritize requirements properly, or they need to bring in more people.

For the Chuck and Patty example, he describes Chuck finishing a task and sending it to Patty for review, and Patty not picking it up because she's "busy." Busy with what? If this task is the higher priority, why is she not switching to it as soon as it's ready? Do either Chuck or Patty not know that this task is the current highest priority? Sounds like management failure. Is there not a system in place (whether automatic or not) for notifying people when high priority tasks are assigned? Also sounds like management failure. Is Patty just incapable of switching tasks within 30-60 minutes? She needs to work on her organization skills, or that management isn't providing sufficient tooling for multitasking.

When a top-priority "this needs to go out ASAP" task is in play on my team, I'm either working on it, or I know it's coming my way soon, and who it's coming from, because my Project Lead has already coordinated that among all of us. Because that's her job.

From the article...

Project A should take around 2 weeks

Project B should take around 2 weeks

That’s 4 weeks to complete them both

But only if they’re done in sequence!

If you try to do them at the same time, with the same team, don’t be surprised if it ends up taking 6 weeks!

Nonsense. If these are both top priorities, and the team has proper leadership, (and the 2 week estimate is actually accurate) 4 weeks is entirely achievable. If these are not top priorities, and the team has other work as well, then yeah, no shit it might be 6 weeks. You can't just ignore the 2 weeks from Project C if it's prioritized similarly to A and B. If A and B NEED to go out in 4 weeks, then prioritize them higher, and coordinate your team to make that happen.

A quality apology consists of 3 things:

  • An explanation of what you did that was wrong, and why it was wrong
  • An explanation of what you're going to try and change about yourself, to avoid the same mistake
  • An expression of remose. I.E. the word "sorry" or "apologize".

Your proposed apology has all those elements, so you're already ahead of most folks. But there are a few suggestions for improvement in this thread that I think are also good.

"if you felt so, I apologize": I don't read this as you apologizing for how the other person feels, since you clarified that earlier. But I think it's fair that others might read it that way, so you're better off eliminating the ambiguity. You're apologizing for what you did, without considering that others might (validly) consider it inappropriate.

"I'll try to control myself around you": similar deal, it should be clear that this is about you, not them. And when it comes to swearing in a workplace, it's pretty-darn common to consider it inappropriate and unprofessional, no matter who you're around. Maybe part of your apology needs to focus on how the behavior is unprofessional, and you simply needed help recognizing that, as you're (possibly?) new to the professional working world.

Gee, I wonder who was responsible for those ballots not getting sent out on time?

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Did they, though? Do we know how Nevaeh Crain and Candace Fails voted? Would that somehow make it okay?

The fact thay people who have done nothing to support these policies can still be killed by them is PRECISELY the problem.

Nah, he's telling the news that he didn't actually do any of this, he was just trolling or whatever. And fair, nothing on the internet should be taken at face value, for exactly this kinda reason. They're gonna investigate and see if he actually did this or not.

Either that or he had a separate job, and was just a landlord on the side.

Hexbear? (lemm.ee)
 

So, I thought Hexbear defederated from us a little while back, and we, in turn, defederated from them. Why do I keep seeing occasional (new) Hexbear posts in the "All" feed, lately? Did the defederation get reversed? Is it somehow a bug?

 

I.E. the list of my own posts in my profile is always empty, by definition, unless I go manually change the setting before viewing it, and then change it back when I'm done.

Would this be a Jerboa issue, or a general Lemmy issue?

 

Felt like I had to share this after catching it on Twitch last week.

And no, this is not my YouTube channel.
