Yeah. Don't complain about regulation existing. Complain about regulations being controlled by private equity. Complain about private equity existing. Complain about capitalism. Not about the existence of government.
Oh neat I haven't heard of console1984 or the package that allows for auditing. A lot of my previous companies have been looking for something like this
That's... a wild contortion of what it means to be legal. When the government grants a permit for me to do something, the sane thing is to assume that it is a legal thing to do.
You can redefine, or re-interpret the law later to make something _now_ illegal, but that absolutely does not mean it was illegal at the time. That's 1984-style history rewriting.
Unorganized individuals from twitter contacting your employer isn't harassment. If it is the implications would be scary the other way around: would you punish someone who pointed out a problem that happened to become popular on a social network?
That's not how cancelling works, except maybe in the case of celebrities. When you are canceled, no one calls and has a polite chat with your employer. They call and threaten your employer with arson. They find where you live and vandalize your home. It's harassment. It's illegal.
That line seems blurry to me. How do you define both and where is the line? I'm not sure that many angry emotional twitter users contemplate any line, I would assume most just think "I strongly disagree with that person's opinion or actions and I must punish them". I think most people would agree that harassment and doxing are bad, but I also think that most people would think that doing bad things to "bad" people is sometimes ok. Mobs of emotional people are not paragons of morality, bad actions by a few quickly spread and the morality of the mob normalizes to that new worse level.
Love the move to gemify standard library. This is a perfect mix of batteries included but also makes it easy to upgrade bits of the standard library over time between releases. Great way to prevent stagnation.
Or irritate a long term user base? PHP has been very successful long term, largely I would argue because of maintaining almost complete backwards compatibility.
Preventing stagnation and maintaining backwards compatibility aren’t the same thing. Go has a very strong backwards compatibility guarantee, and since they made the guarantee the entire compiler has been rewritten and there have been plenty of additions to stdlib.
but gems in stdlib work fine even for that: if the next version of the gem breaks compatibility the next version of ruby is free to import it, and you can keep using the old interface with new ruby by locking the dependency to the old gem version.

Gemification of the standard library has very little impact on backwards compatibility; moving out of stdlib into default gems. Moving to bundled gems is transparent to code but has to be taken account of in build infra, moving out past bundled gems is where it would become visible to consuming code, equivalent to being evicted from stdlib before gemification.
I the past year I have been convinced the desire to get things done is a partial root of my unhappiness. I have been working a lot on learning to just be and perhaps do also.
pro audio tends to be a lot more low level to prevent any kind of stuttering or delay, so it may not always be compatible across stacks. It also tends to not get updated very often. You create 1 plugin for ableton, then the creator has moved on to the next project.
