It's almost like that was only one metric she gave in the context of other metrics...
Stack Overflow score may not directly correlate to skill, but it does show that she spends time engaging with other programmers and thinking about programming questions, which helps paint a picture in the context of her other qualifications.
In a meme? Never.
Crowd extensions are already pretty common with traditional VFX techniques.
I worked in Hollywood editorial for a bit and, IMO, the producers are playing up the AI stuff so that said stuff can be given to the writers and actors as a "victory" instead of the real spectres in the room:
streaming residuals need to get the same payout and transparency as home video and syndication did
streaming numbers need to be made available to creators to facilitate the above.
the 'mini-room' system that totally disconnects writers from the productions they are writing for needs to be broken down.
Definitely a case of "task failed successfully" though, because we cultivate those planets -- making their continued survival all but ensured.
Have unsecured messages be opt-in and have a warning banner on non-encrypted messages. Maybe even a confirmation dialog.
That way people who want or need to be that paranoid can be, but the rest of us can have something a bit more convenient.
By disallowing SMS messaging they've just made it so a lot of people who were being secure when their contacts allowed, aren't being secure at all.
One of the things I like about programming is it feels like legit magic. You infuse a lightning stone with words of power that bend its mind to your will.
One must be cautious. The stone will do what is asked if it. Exactly what is asked of it. Ask carefully.
I think I have a bead on what you're saying now.
I can't really say I agree that gently supporting someone to explore a side of themselves they are coming to grips with is the same as advocating for the eradication of trans people...
Although this user is kinda huffing their own farts, I think they are speaking to something that needs to get solved in the long term.
If you make an account on an instance, create a bunch of posts and comments, then your instance makes a choice you totally disagree with... It's easy for everyone to say just leave and find another instance, but leaving that history and effort behind kinda sucks. Even if you're not at the mercy of an instance's admins, your account is.
Lemmy/Kbin really need a mechanism to migrate an account so users are totally free to find their own home, and client apps need a way to transparently mix content from different accounts so you can join two instances that have de-federated from each other. Again, it's easy to say you just need to make an account on each, but the UX of doing so is terrible.
IDK, the creator of that instance just started it as a little side project. I don't get the sense they ever really expected for it to blow up or were trying to make it a "main instance".
If anything this is just a reminder that instances aren't nodes in the same service. They will all have their own culture, goals and philosophy.
Yeah, they're saying "look, we only have four mods, have a highly targeted type of community we are trying to build, and have had to disproportionately moderate users from these instances" which seems reasonable on it's face.
That's kind of the beauty of Lemmy/Kbin right? You can spin up an instance with whatever rules you want. I think people are reacting to the fact that during the Reddit exodus Beehaw kind of looked like a "default" general instance, including me.
But that's a misreading on our part, not them going back on that.
Or they'll just be a smallish instance building the kind of community they want to build. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want to be and not trying to be more.
Even sadder, tbh
