  • Software developers who never have, and never will have to, use the software for real.

    Yes. The customer doesn't necessarily know what's possible or know how to articulate what features they want. I spent one week in a position where I was using my own software for production and immediately made several simple enhancements once I had hands on experience with the expected business process.

    Every programmer should go through an exercise like this at least once in a while.

  • They've been separate desktop environments from the start. From top to bottom they share nearly nothing. The compositors, window managers, toolkits and shells are all different.

    They also are ideologically opposed. If they merged, which direction would they go? The more feature-rich KDE? Or the more streamlined Gnome? Such a merger would lead to infighting and stagnation.

    This is before even talking about the actual code underlying both environments.

    I think it's better for everyone if they stay as two separate projects.

  • The teacher shot by a 6-year-old still worries, a year later, about the other students in the room
  • It did at least draw me to the comments section to see the chatter, but no, I pretty much expected what you quoted.

    I guess it's open enough to interpretation to be misleading. Do readers think she was worried the kid was going after them next? Do they think she was worried one more of the students would come after her?

  • Head of Britain’s police chiefs says force ‘institutionally racist’
  • “The way our policies, procedures [and] training have been designed and implemented for many years have not had the voices of black people involved in the design, the implementation, of those practices. And as a consequence of that, we get disproportionate outcomes in places where there shouldn’t be disproportionate outcomes.

    I was curious about specific examples of institutional racism so I started scouring the main report: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmhaff/139/13911.htm

    I didn't dig very deep yet, but so far I found that the forces had been trying to train away individual unconscious biases in response to the Macpherson report, and watered down the process in favor of other priorities. (See paragraphs 505 and 506).
