World News@lemmy.world•Israel-Palestine war: Bodies piling up in the streets as Gaza onslaught escalatesEnglish
1·2 years agobut the fact that the photos are things other than the article title hurts their credibility.
I’m sorry who is under the impression that people are not dying? I’m pretty sure no one is doubting that part.

Programming@programming.dev•The forbidden topics of hacker communities
12·2 years agoThis is confusing. Maybe OP has a point that we should just be forthright about whats going on so people can make informed decisions.
My initial reaction is that you shouldn’t be sticking your neck out for people you only know in a professional sense.
My second reaction is that as a community if you receive reports of sexual assault and do not act on them in some way you are sending a message that your community is not a safe space for people who have been sexually assaulted.
And I’m still hung up on how you are able to ostracize the accused and not the accuser? Is the accusation coming from outside the community?

22·2 years agoThe latter is fairly rare to happen to accusers, but it’s expected for the accused.
That’s not true. Kids have been disowned by their families for reporting SA. Ostracization is a real possibility for victims and it’s a very large part of causes rapes to go unreported. Nobody wants to be friends with the person who makes false allegations.
Not to mention you’re leaving out all the people who will see someone actually convicted and decide not to ostracize the guilty person because “akchually he’s a good guy”.
The reality is that it is insanely hard to fence-sit on “I don’t believe the accusation but I don’t think the accuser is lying either”.

12·2 years agoor if we do take action (the minimum action you seem to be advocating for is ostracism) against the accused
Either way someone’s getting ostracized. People who don’t ostracize the accused are going to ostracize the accuser.

11·2 years agoconsidering they later conclude that progressive speech is allowed you must be right. I was thrown off because in real life the “majority-conforming” opinion is “I do not care what is in your pants”.
Edit: it’s also not reflective of my time in hacker spaces at all but OP has since confirmed it’s not actually about hacking spaces but just tech in general

11·2 years agoEdit: I misunderstood, my comment doesn’t add anything of value but you can still read it if you choose.
spoiler
Any speech which suggests that the listener may find themselves subject to a non-majority-conforming person in a position of power, or even that of a peer, will have crossed the line; one must speak as a victim seeking the pity and grace of your superiors to be permitted space to air your grievances.
What possible grievance do you have with intersex people?
Do people think before they say things anymore or is it just a race to put as many words on the paper as you can?

Programming@programming.dev•Why are NodeJS projects often "bundled", but not other interpreted languages?
11·2 years ago-
it can increase execution speed because the alternative is usually hosting a file separately and making a separate http request to get that file. Bundling allows you to deliver one bigger file instead of multiple small files, saving on network requests.
-
tree-shaking, minifcation, g-zipping - to get the best performance you want all of your code and only your code. also gzip(filepart1 + filepart2) < gzip(filepart1) + gzip(filepart2) + …
But I think the biggest factor is
- In JS it’s very common that you don’t have control over where your code is built or executed. With bundling you can usually specify a build target so you can write your code in modern JS with the guarantee that the output will be usable on older systems.
Most of the time if your code doesn’t work because of an old environment the end user will just update their environment but with most JS being written for the web it was beneficial if not required that you put in the effort to make your code run on older environments because your target user base might not have the permissions or technical abilities to upgrade the “environment” (aka browser).

Woodshedding. I can not learn as fast if I’m weighed down by the idea that every piece of code I check-in needs to be production ready.
