I mean psychological safety, as in https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/after-years-of-research-go... , or as in "will i face verbal bullying in this space". That is a different type …

That's fair. I should have said he's arguing for the right to not teach the history of marginalized people, not that he's arguing that others shouldn't (though he does seem to be a…

The question in that survey is different: it asks whether people self-censor because of others. That's pretty different than whether inclusivity is a worthwhile goal, and surveys a…

> And FYI nobody is arguing that any real, material history should not be taught. This is in the context of his literature courses. There are so many literary authors that aren't w…

I might be making a jump, because I've followed a lot of these discussions over time. To my understanding (and as a disclaimer, I advocate strongly for it), "inclusivity" in genera…

Does the Chicago Review position itself as an academic organization? I'm under the impression it's a literary publication, which seems pretty different than a research publication …

It's a pretty standard anti-inclusivity rant (although it starts by attempting to position itself as more than such), and then ends with an anecdote/strawman (which is contrary to …

That's true, but wlroots (sway's compositor) has tried to fill some of that gap: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/wiki/Projects-which-use-wl... It has its own libraries for things…

Both openSUSE and [as of very recently] Fedora use btrfs by default, so btrfs support seems pretty stable these days. (But as others have pointed out, there are options for using z…

FYI it looks like this project isn't necessarily dead; another contributor who merged a PR 2 days ago just posted a short update: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/767#iss…

I think the negative effects spread further because they skew the field more. I think women are more likely to avoid FOSS because there are few women, even without knowing who RMS …

Honestly, I think we let a lot of mean-spiritedness pass as "comedy", and I think sexist comedy causes a lot of real-world problems. > I would be dollars to doughnuts that the auth…

That's an interesting way of framing it—I expect that no, he hasn't directly dissuaded more people than he's encouraged. But I expect that the second- and third-degree network effe…

https://geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman and https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-appendix... are good starting points; I also saw threads about it from …

It wasn't just this incident. RMS alienated so many women from open source and free software over the last 30 years, and we've lost all of those potential contributions. He's been …

I love `sed`, but specifying in-place replacement across linux/mac is challenging, and I find both the regular expression options hard to remember the exact syntax for. So I built …

It’s really good at highly dynamic/interactive apps, such as browser versions of asana or slack, or other things where user actions are small but frequent. If you aren’t doing full…

I turned slack into a chrome “shortcut” (which seems to be a PWA minus the service worker), which lets it run in chrome instead of a separate electron instance, but also have a sep…

I would strongly consider leaving if my manager decreed that I mustn’t use vim and must instead use webstorm/atom/whatever (especially if not in vim mode). I’ve spent a lot of time…

She used to get requests to turn her threads into blog posts; now she does not. Also, she didn’t seem to necessarily want money from them, but somewhat similarly to GPL’d open sour…

1) I don't think so. 2) They're different because they usually store and distribute her data somewhere other than twitter. If she deletes a thread, that copy persists. If people in…

There is definitely a use case here, but there is a difference between making threads readable for sharing outside of twitter, and adding ads or reselling content. (And in the orig…

She addresses that in the original thread — her twitter threads are specifically for her followers; they're not blog posts.
