So outside this individual case, how open or public should these types of decisions be made? For transparency, shouldn't people that are part of the community know when these actions/accusations take place and what/how decisions were made?
That's what Uncle Bob is insinuating, but is that what really happened? I can't even see the tweet he's talking about.
He mentions an @KubeCon twitter account. That account is not associated w/ the event.
> general ban on hats and clothing with political statements
In some schools of thought, a MAGA hat is a hate symbol like a swastika armband. They view it differently than they would a Republican National Convention hat. Whether they're right or wrong, these are the people writing and enforcing codes of conduct these days
> In some schools of thought, a MAGA hat is a hate symbol like a swastika armband.
Excuse me, but what could ever be hateful about making America great again? Doesn't this rather suggest that these schools of thought themselves are being quite hateful towards America? It's sure convenient that "these are the people writing and enforcing codes of conduct these days", because if they weren't, the case for banning them as CoC violators would be pretty clearcut.
>Excuse me, but what could ever be hateful about making America great again?
The belief that what has weakened America is multiculturalism, immigration, feminism and racial diversity, and that what is needed to make America great again is reversing the aforementioned trends, and restoring to heterosexual, Christian white males their former status of cultural and political hegemony.
That "belief" is what you want "them" to believe, so you can degrade & oppose them as inherently evil. Pardon the mind reading; it's the conclusion I come to when subjected to such bad-faith & ignorant labeling. It's baffling to accuse Trump of such bigotries, when he specifically hires immigrants from around the world, married an immigrant, has such a high percentage of women on staff, and has long been lauded & awarded for promoting racial diversity - and his followers share & support his mindset thereof. Seems opponents want MAGA types to be racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc and go to great lengths to impute such labels thereon - when such labels absolutely do not apply.
I, and many others, are seriously outraged at this chronic & intentional libel of our sociopolitical positions - especially by those touting the banner of "tolerance & diversity".
The Trump campaign has never made such a claim, though. They pushed "draining the swamp" in Washington D.C., nothing much about reversing "multiculturalism, immigration, feminism and racial diversity".
I don't necessarily approve of the pitchforks coming out at the sight of a MAGA hat, but it's either delusional or just intellectually dishonest to deny the racial component to Trump's rhetoric.
Just like everything in California causes cancer, everything Trump says has racial components.
Sheesh - for a racist spouting rhetoric full of racial components Trump is pretty awful at actually being a racist. Just look at his immediate family! He's not only an incompetent politician he's an incompetent racist!
I'm not asserting that Trump is personally racist, nor that all of his platform is racist. I think the term 'racist' as a concept has such divergent meaning across society that it's rarely useful. I'm saying he is leveraging the dimensions of the current political landscape to his advantage (something he has bragged about having no scruples in doing), which includes exacerbating racial tension. Is it more a projection of his followers than himself? Probably.
It's either delusional or just intellectually dishonest to impute "racial components" to Trump's rhetoric. He, and MAGA types in general, is not racist nor has anything he's done explainable by "racism". The persistence of imputing "racist!" belies projection, lacking an objective basis. We really, truly, don't care what race anyone is; what matters is hard work, abiding by laws (including immigration laws shared by most nations), and earning your way. Alas, those seeking racism everywhere see racism everywhere, especially in designated opponents.
But enough of his supporters have that the culture of support for Trump has been conflated with support for those other, far more toxic ideals.
Trump supporters can pretend that American white supremacists and neo-reactionaries didn't flock to him like moths to a flame and turn his campaign into a referendum against the loss of white male political and cultural relevance and the advance of progressivism and feminism, or that they aren't tainted by association, but that is what happened.
Trump supporters were perfectly aware of the racial narrative forming around him, and they chose to embrace it, rather than fight against it, because they found common ground with the racists in their hatred of the left and Hillary Clinton. They don't now have cause to complain about being tarred with the same brush.
If it's OK to exclude people thanks to 2nd degree taint like that, does this mean it would be fine for a conference to exclude everyone who supported Bernie because of his association with AntiFa?
"white supremacists and neo-reactionaries" are practically non-existent. Try actually understanding your designated opponents, instead of slapping nasty labels on them. We did NOT "choose to embrace a racial narrative", it was imputed on us and we don't know how to fight it effectively (a la "I don't believe X!" "well, that's surefire proof that you believe X!").
Agreed. It should be about letting a team figure out the highly customized, team-specific things they need to do.
If that means getting rid of rigid Scrum frameworks, so be it. Maybe you don’t need regularly scheduled planning meetings, for example, because on a given team the planning might happen in a more 1-1 manner, with irregular and specially scheduled sync meetings that just arise organically from whatever the team’s working on.
Maybe you find that estimating story points doesn’t actually correlate with any predictive efficacy for delivery or deadlines, and maybe you find estimating also doesn’t help identify assumptions or potential blockers. So then, just don’t waste time estimating in that particular case.
Any part of the workflow, ranging from what project issue tracker you want to use to what meetings you agree to have, should all be adjustable by the team to customize for what makes that team, in that situation, most productive.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Waterfall, Agile, Scrum, or just some totally made up, off the cuff meeting arrangement with no formal name and no industry of consultants behind it. Whatever works.
To quote one last bit of minutiae: "Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts, and rules are immutable and although implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not Scrum."
I agree with what you're saying, but Scrum says not to modify it. That's one of my problems with it.
Simple networking knowledge is a go-to interview question for me.
If you don't understand the basics of what happens from the time you enter a request in the browser to when the page fully renders you won't be very good at troubleshooting some basic issues. (Can't reach the server. Some content is missing. Is it timing out. How many requests are generated by a page.)
That's exactly my use case. I'm targeting 1800 calories of intake per day.
I do 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch. My wife and I then have a balanced dinner. This gives me structure and a plan for each workday.
Previously, I would pickup something (probably not healthy and over 400 calories) on the fly for each meal.
Static sites for large institutions is asking for trouble down the road.
Think about universities with hundreds of content providers. They'll put anything and everything on their sites with no regard for the standard layout/design. CMS gives them design choices, and enforces standards so you can update/refresh the look and feel in the future.
It's an easy distinction: if non-programmers are managing the content of the site, don't use a static site or a static site generator.
Asking people whose job isn't "building websites" to edit text files, run some sort of compiler on the command line, connect to a server via FTP, or deal with version control is a total failure mode.
But if a developer (or an especially adventurous designer) is going to be editing the content of the site as time goes on, then static files or a static site generator can be a great option.
Wouldn't applying some of your extra productivity to an open-source project be more beneficial to more people?
Instead of having a difficult work environment with your co-workers you would have learned, created great stuff and been recognized by peers.
The preview pictures look very nice.
From a resources perspective where did you get the recipes?
I've considered making apps that require reference material like a recipe. The problem I've seen is taking the material and charging without having created the information. I imagine a lot of stuff is general public knowledge, but how do you keep safe from someone claiming you stole their recipe?
Yeah, I always toyed with the 'reference material' app idea, this was my actual stab at it. A few of the recipes are home-made favorites. A few are made by companies to perpetuate their own products so when people spread them further it actually helps them (this is Rum Swizzle & Dark 'n' Stormy for Gosling's). Finally, the others we looked at a few well-known recipes, maybe tweaked a thing or two where we thought it should be different, and left one of them entirely as we found it (from Bacardi, I believe).
I think with recipes it's not 'bad' when you have a specific recipe because of the nature of the things, where with other reference material, selling it in your app is a form of stealing. The only drinks in here that are entirely the same are well known.
There's definitely no keeping safe from someone claiming we stole a recipe, but if someone did, we could pull it, or show them how 25 other people could make the same claim, or simply claim that what we made isn't a recipe directory but it's a fully interactive app with descriptions and collections and tips that it's not the recipes we're selling.
Sorry for the novel, train of thought. As you can tell, I haven't been asked that yet. Hopefully the next time this answer will be much more concise!
