Thank you! The paper is more about the data visualization side of things, so I don't think the institution being lib is a big issue.

That looks like a good resource.

 

I have to write a summary paper for a class I'm doing for my masters degree, and since the professor running the seminar this semester specializes in data visualization, the paper has to be related to that. Being the aspiring Marxist that I am, I figured international trade between countries (what commodities are being exported/imported, which countries are exporting to/importing from whom, what fraction of a country's imports/exports are of a specific commodity, etc.) would be a good choice. While I'm going to look for papers myself, I figured I would have a higher likelyhood finding someone into that stuff on Lemmygrad compared to other online spaces.

My thing is always accessibility, I do user facing client development and I’m a constant pain in the ass when design gives us some unreasonably inaccessible stuff

This brings back memories of an abomination of a design I had to implement that had 3 scrollable regions whose edges were really close to eachother. None of the regions had scroll bars either. Fortunately, the project got cancelled before it could see the light of day.

A team mate of mine at the computer touching factory is a Proudhonist.

I can see I'm not the only one who celebrates 9/11 with a groupchat meme spam competiton. Here's a spicy one.

Sometimes I think Lemmy's existing UI is a hot mess and feel bad about my inability to keep up with fixing all the issues. Hearing how much of a dumpster fire Reddit has become makes me feel much better about myself.

 

So I put a picture of a guy wearing a headband on your headband.

Blueprints I think.

“I think we’re in an age when nuclear deterrent is actually less effective because the West is very unlikely to use anything like a nuclear bomb, whereas our adversaries might,” he added. “Where you have technological parity but moral disparity, the actual disparity is much greater than people think.”

There's a moral disparity alright, but it's not the US who has the moral high ground.

I happened to make a mod for this ages ago: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/WOTRDamageBreakdown

Unfortunately, I don't think it works with the current version of the game. I really need to update it at some point.

Yeesh, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but it really is that bad! He even has this massive self report towards the end:

And how do you avoid being punished? There are two ways. One that works; and one that doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work is to design everything up front before coding. The one that does avoid the punishment is to override all the safeties.

And so you will declare all your classes and all your functions open. You will never use exceptions. And you will get used to using lots and lots of ! characters to override the null checks and allow NPEs to rampage through your systems.

Uncle Bob must be the kind of guy who makes all of his types any when writing Typescript.

Now I know who to pray to when I'm debugging legacy code.
