This is an important discussion to have.

The fact that this and another article about Harvard race-based admissions yesterday were both insta-flagged suggest that many don’t even want us to have the conversation.

This seems to be all the rage right now but there is a significant risk of CTE with BJJ. Concussions are normalized to an alarming degree among all BJJ practitioners I’ve spoken with.

This is great. “Yes” shouldn’t be case sensitive though.

Who cares? Redditors are really too much. Hoping that everything has a good resolution only because I don’t want Redditors fleeing to other sites that are (blissfully) free of their “culture”. Already have seen an unfortunate influx of them on this site.

Same political sleight of hand being done in America. “We can’t do anything about the homeless population but look, we banned gas engines!”

This is untrue. Even the smallest subreddits are beholden to Reddit’s ever changing “rules”.

Eloquently put. The last time I was on the market I didn’t apply to a single company that didn’t list salary - every time I’ve done that their pitch was underwhelming.

To those saying “there’s more than salary” - that’s a privileged take. I hate to use that word but it’s appropriate here. Salary ONLY MEANS being able to put a roof over your family’s head and feed them.

This is a real “drink the kool aid” take.

There are no security implications other than those brought by the user. Freeze and host your own copies of libraries in an overlay (or write your own). The developer chooses which packages to use and from where, VERY explicitly and with a SHA which is far more secure than NPM for example (which is in production…everywhere)

Should? By whose standard?

Also nix does have some autocomplete, check out Nil…

What is confusing about finding Nix packages? Just go to search.nixos.org

There has been a trend in software dev towards solving problems that don’t need solved. I’ve never been confused about how to find packages for nix.

I saw it - incredible to see cracks begin to emerge in the former titans of the industry. FAANG will go the way of Cisco, Motorola, et al.

This is a state that can’t even help its homeless. The hubris of California politicians truly knows no bounds.

This isn’t a “weird” dynamic anymore. Have you been to Baltimore lately? Los Angeles? They are third world.
