When an organization as problematic as the world Bank won't work with you...

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

Omg, why could that be?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Or third option, move. And there's always the default option, don't work there

But what if we make a better world for no reason?

We should probably just keep drilling

What a stupid headline... The article is about how the Paris accords aren't aggressive enough

I definitely have an expectation of privacy in a locker room...

Pooh bear found out his missiles were fueled with water, and some of his launch silos never existed. He did a purge of the military and got real quiet about launching an invasion

Now they're showing their special forces threading lines of needles and riding electric skateboards.

I'm not saying China wouldn't invade Taiwan, but I really don't think they're going to in the near future

It just makes too much sense... The only way to get past electron is a better electron. Or just fix electron

We've been going after this concept for decades now. That's what java swing was supposed to be, what python gtlk was supposed to be, and I'm sure there were others before that and there's been a hell of a lot since then

It's all trade-offs between flexibility, ease of use, and performance. Also between maintenance cost, portability, and existing library support

Electron is a good compromise. The execution could be better, but it's come a long way. There is no one size fits all solution, but there are some decent options that handle that compromise differently

I mean, they kinda don't. Companies are entities made out of policies guiding how people split up objectives into smaller parts. The more people involved and the more indirect it is, the less coherent it gets

Legal says you need one popup for compliance. Marketing or analytics say you need more users to log in. Elon wants to remind people to call it Twitter.

By the time it filters through managers to the devs, they probably know it'll be a horrible experience, but what are they going to do? It's not their job. They'll get brushed off. There might even be a compelling reason to do it in this way - with this in particular, annoying and intrusive popups are malicious compliance with the EU cookie laws. But everyone seems to be doing it this way - that's probably what legal is going to recommend rather than interpreting the law themselves

So the problem is the structure. If you want a hierarchy of obedient replaceable cogs, you've made sure no one sees the full picture

I'm split, but I lean slightly towards no. On one hand, it could be good for discoverability, and it would help my efforts to make a client-side algorithm

On the other hand, it will make one of Lemmy's problems worse - engagement. Some people will vote less, and it's already feeling a little quieter around here as the numbers settled after the Reddit Exodus. I doubt it'll be a massive change, but a .5% decrease in voting, permanently, could make a difference

Ultimately, you can see it on federated platforms, so shrug

Sodium batteries are a lot cheaper, and the materials are easier to come by

Who cares about sodium, can we get rid of high fructose corn syrup? I mean reducing sodium sounds good, but it's not even on the same playing field
