??? This article had nothing to do with "moderates failing at government"
It was an analysis of government management methods independent of political ideology. It showed that training low level managers improves performance more than sweeping changes which have a temporary boost at the cost of long term failure.
They are a minority party so they have no levers. The Right has tens of thousands who will risk jail to threaten the left about anything. The left politicians have no citizens that will stand up and protect them the way the right has protection.
Congressional reps who absolutely had the right to enter a building they oversaw
No they don't. A bill was submitted in 2023 but never made a law.

When Trump lost the last election, his followers stormed the capital. When Harris lost, nothing.
In unrelated news Trump announced that North and South Dakota will be renamed to North Custer and South Custer. This came after pushback for the request to change Dakota to Damzog.
I don't want Twitter or Bluesky. How is it possible to have the time to be active on so many different platforms?
I have time for Lemmy.

Doesn't mqtt need a broker? (A server?) For me, putting mosquito in a docker or a pi isn't a problem but that's not plug and play for a regular person. Because once you introduce a server like that, it needs security patches and becomes a point of failure out of control of the iot vendor. I know I wouldn't want to take the tech support call when the iot device doesn't work and have to walk them through debugging a pi.
I do my own onvif cameras but I gifted a ring doorbell to my niece for her apartment. She's non technical, I can't support her remotely, and that safety was more important than the loss of privacy of a camera looking out onto a public street.
As someone who self hosts I understand the economies of scale that would allow it to be much cheaper to make products tied to cloud service. For example my servers for my house could easily support my entire extended family and more.
But of course, that profit isn't enough, and they all double dip into selling their customers' privacy.
My Google News has my Lemmy comments in it so I know the Pixel keyboard is leaking. Like I'll reply to someone about a bench top power supply and there will be ads for them in my Google News.
You can poop in a bag and mail it instead now.
I said Windows should be rewritten from scratch because it has a poor foundation.
Having never written Windows kernel code, you are in no position to judge the foundation.
I tell you that I've been a developer for decades
No, you said you have been writing code longer before I was born.
I have been writing code since before you were born. Does that make my opinion more valid?
You misrepresented something your own source said,
The source I lonked clearly explains in detail why code is misread. You handwaved it away with the premise that code might not be misread. With that attitude, memory safety isn't needed either. Write perfect code and you don't need to use structured programs. "Don't do what everyone does because it is extremely hard." isn't a valid argument.
This is exactly what you wrote;
" It would be insane to claim that all of Linux (I'm also referring to all the gnu tools, window managers etc) should be thrown out and start fresh. "
I added that in the second sentence because I realized you have never used Linux without it being part of a distro. The first Linux I ran was compiled without being part of any distro. It was for a PRI Gateway when I was working for Vint Cerf on his side project.
There was absolutely no reason to bring up that you were coding longer than I was alive other than to imply that your age is a reason why the argument is invalid.
Funny how you use your age as an argument but see it as entitled when I point out the reverse.
Calling your operating system “Linux”--when Linux is just the kernel and not the OS--doesn't really help your argument here.
I specifically referenced Gnu tools, window managers, etc. What is wrong with you?
He could but Geordi knows if he starts down that path he'll spend all day picking the right texture and infill pattern.
My age isn't important to the argument. That's not an opinion.
I noticed now that I posted my age you didn't respond with yours.
Go get your reading glasses
You can't get past personal attacks. First it was I'm too young. When that attack didn't work, it's now I'm too old.
Unless you work at Microsoft on the code, you have absolutely no basis for your claim that the entire code base should be thrown out. I use Linux. There are frequent bugs that require me to type in a command manually to work around. It would be insane to claim that all of Linux (I'm also referring to all the gnu tools, window managers etc) should be thrown out and start fresh.
Can we get the rest of the world to declare a national emergency in the US?
I'm approaching 60.
How old are you? I'm guessing you are like 40. You don't even know who Joel is.
It's bad form to attack me personally instead of the argument.
Joel addressed your argument that the code is misread throughout the entire essay. Code is easier to write than read.
You should never rewrite a large program:

Never tried one but the concave is off-putting given that the MS Natural that I like is convex.
Exactly. The mainstream press is right wing. They're going to cover anything a Dem does that could be considered a lie. But it's after the election.
The new model has to be to win at all costs.


I'm new to Minecraft and did a lot of googling but everyone has a different answer for silk touch.
Does anyone have a definite way to get it with an enchantment table?
Some say you need to be level 17 and have 9 bookshelves before it will show up (random). Others say you need to be between level 20 and 30. One says 30. Another says you can just keep trying over and over using a grindstone to remove the wrong enchantment before trying again.

Don't know how old this is but it was new for me today!
I replied to a post in a thread (about how my 15 year old burned DVDs were going bad and what I was doing to remedy it). The thread is still there but my post is gone. It wasn't an argument. It was a reply to someone asking for data backup options.
Some auto generated explanation from Lemmy would be nice like : post deleted by owner. Or posted deleted by moderator.
