RIP vim `:hardcopy` :( .

For some harder C code (implementing `malloc` for example) my preferred debugging method was printing out the code and debugging it with a pen between classes.

I eventually realized being inside an editor gave me too much attraction to thrash with "just one more quick iteration & debug run..." and could actually end up more time consuming than being forced to reconcile my mental model with what I had already written by me double checking my assumptions.

Interestingly, some of my peers started picking up the habit for their own projects and we ended up having small "debugging" sessions by trading print-outs .

While I agree in spirit: after a recent rib injury I wasn't allowed to take a picture of my own X-Ray using my phone or even have a copy sent to me since "that isn't the policy"... very hard to say that data was "mine" until it is "released" to me.

There is an infinitesimally small liability that some "other patient's" data might be visible on scanning device, a horde of companies assuring asses are covered and without a legal obligation to give me all "my" health data per visit I don't see an easy path to using our own devices soon, unfortunately.

I think you hit a lot themes I've personally been thinking about as well and was a nice read, thanks.

> Yes, by definition, you do. It is not illegal to slander anyone.

By the legal definition of slander, your statement is false.

But Jones did profit from the traffic and thus ad revenue that controversy stirred up, this case is about that* not about Jones right to have an opinion, but how Jones weilded it at the expense of others, no less*.

What you really have to ask is will this community be less inclusive because English isn't your first language, I'd say "no" and I hope most would agree.

> Your arguments will come of as stronger to the reader.

That is persuasian, not authenticity, to the OP's point.

Trust. Easily lost, hard to win and all that. If you don't actually trust those you manage you're not really operating at your best, let alone bringing out the best of your team.

It's a humbling experience tbh, requires putting your faith of success in other people, which in my experience is harder to teach (and is often learned through tough failures) than any kind of computer skills.

I'm more than happy I read your comment body and its good/well natured tone before your name XD .

They meant Oil(s) as in fixing bugs in the bash compatible replacement that they author for the OP's 'is-oil' check.

One of the students in my middle school put it into beautiful terms. One day, they say "You know, the TV in your forehead?" as they put 3/4 a square with their fingers onto their brow (like a "C" shape) I still get chills thinking of the phrase sometimes, it just was so understandable and approachable for us 6th graders.

(Edit: word choice)

> But maybe it just looks that way because it's difficult or impossible to really perceive the full extent of how living in a non-DLT world is affecting our behavior.

We don't live in a 'non-DLT world though, DLT exists in this world right?

Sorry I agreed with your previous comment and then the mention of DLT lost me so I'm trying to understand the context I'm missing.

(Edit: spelling)

I think this video highlights as a leader being the 'bad guy' in a meeting because they are demanding excellence to a specific vision/goal and their subordinate's output isn't meeting their expectations.

There are no personal attacks, just critiques on the thought process, output and plan (or lack of planning), all of that is fair game. The dev(?) even admits at ~25:40 that they should be taking notes and fixing what is pointed out.
