Next up: AI programs that the analyze kernel code and report on constructs that probably don't work the way we think they do.

Sounds like a case of pissing on people's leg and telling em it's raining.

Ah neat.

I was looking to create a little database to keep track of spending, put things in categories... and then wanted a useable GUI and having to create that sure sounds dreadful... that, and the rest calls for each table and every possible operation, aaaa.

So this sounds like a neat thing

Absolutely. Even if only for the timesaving.

One of those things I wouldn't have thought to look for.

Neat to look over these threads every now and then.

If I'm reading it right, the only mitigation here is updating snap?

By fantasy scenario I refer to those people who comment one thing and one thing only: the idea that the government wants to force bad hires, as some kind of attack against white people.

While in reality, all that's being asked is to recognize that there's something systemic going on here.

But enough people comment this, some people pick it up and actually start doing it...

>To those that say, "Hey, it's just time for white males to find out what it has been like for women and ethnic minorities"

The only people saying that are bitter idiots.

Reading all these anecdotes of disinterested people of color just confirms to me people want to strawman this issue, as they always do.

Nobody is talking about forced hiring of disinterested people. The problematic situation is when several candidates who are perfectly confident, able and willing are not hired, because the hiring manager for some reason just liked that white person better. Every single time. Just... a gut feeling, since they were all pretty much equal.

That practice, where the person hiring always defaults to the white person, even in a mixed group of people with equal skill, is what's problematic, and what needs to be tackled.

Yet people have already begun imagining the most extreme fantasy scenario possible... bad thing is that when you start imagining that, some people actually start doing it because they think they have to. Repeat a lie enough, and people will start thinking it's the truth.

From a more long term point of view, it's also important to increase diversity. Simple from the argument that the more groups you get interested and comfortable with joining a certain industry, the more skill and competition will eventually come around.

Giving more people starter positions and the chance to learn, is exactly how you robustly increase a workforce. But more importantly: having strict rules against abuse.

Here's my time for anecdotal evidence: known several people, perfectly skilled, who just left tech companies because of the casual racism and sexism that HR just decided to ignore.

And when only 1 or 2 people are involved, you can keep the larger workforce thinking there's nothing bad going on. And so when people see a thread like that, they go "I've never seen that". Well yeah, it's being kept out of sight...

In this entire text, the most important questions are missing:

1/ Why does a person start to use drugs?

2/ Why does a person use so much drugs it kills them?

The entire article is talking about symptoms, not causes.

That's not to say all drug use is bad.

What's bad is living a life that's so full of stress and pain that you feel you have no way out other than to distract yourself with these drugs. Eventually leading to death by overuse.

It's not looking at the causes, only at the symptoms, and wondering how we can work within that limit.

And it is exactly that limit that prevents us from seeing the cause.

Chicken and egg.

Does the money flow to that which is pleasurable, or does the pleasurable get created to attract the money?

Ask people which of these two is not possible.

They don't?

Huh.
