The “selfish and myopic” people I know in states that don’t have mask mandates have happy kids who go to school and can look at each other’s faces and grow as humans.
Here in NYC we have woman yelling at kids to keep their masks on and they are in and out of school on a whim.
The particles are floating around in the air. They don’t hit the glass and turn around and go home, they continue to float and a draft or whatever will disperse the particles throughout the room.
Who gets to decide what size interior is ok? Or what crowded is?
It’s all arbitrary and you all fell for it.
Just let omicron spread, accept it’s another seasonal flu, and move the fuck on.
I work on a massive CMS and he’s correct. There is an insane groupthink going on in webdev.
Another team in my org has spent a year reinventing our client side js so that our templates are now mixed with the svelte runtime. All to render/update cards on the page that can update when an api pings the page.
So 6 months later they’re still building the svelte integration and have only shipped 2 pages to users.
This is a cms where you should be able to create any page via a combination of SSR components but no, now it’s a mix of SSR, SSR svelte within handlebars, and client side svelte. So the edit ui is now a fragmented mess of parts of the page that can and can’t render, ruining the default model of the cms all because they couldn’t bear to write vanilla js. They also added react the year before and now it just sits there decaying.
That’s literally how all polyfills work. They first check if the thing is there, and if not then implement it.
And in this case you can simply do an if statement with (first && first.second && first.second.third)
My point being, writing one long line is how the language inherently works. Use that instead of the new feature that only ships in new browsers. I’d still be upset if one of my teammates added an entire bundling system so they can simply write fewer lines for such simple menial aspects of the code. Forest for the trees.
I’ve seen the transition occur in my company where DX is trumping backwards compatibility, “simplicity”, and inter team cohesion.
If you can’t bother to write the if statement that guarantees backward compatibility and follows a defined standard in use for almost 20 years, you are a horrid engineer IMO.
This is why there’s a general trend toward all things becoming complicated, brittle, and shitty.
People end up waiting until standup to ask questions, creating a culture that doesn’t simply message one another for simple things. If something is brought up in standup, now product and project mgmt will want to understand and weigh the value of something that could literally be as simple as, “I need access, how do I generate a key?”
Also I hate being interrogated every morning about what I did the day before.
Daily standup removes the need to remember anything, or even picture the system/ product in your head because you can just ask someone else every day and get what you want. No need to think! Process over people!
I recently watched some state level testimony from nurses and they said something along the lines of, “our staff, nurses and doctors, are unaware of or trained to use VAERS”
I have a degree in the biomedical sciences and I often see CS majors/software/math folks insert clear cut divisions between terms and things than could possibly correlate.
I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how continuous certain parts of biology are (and aren’t).
