@zwol @akjcv i don’t think people need to read Pro Git cover to cover, but i also don’t think people should write SQL queries without ever learning what a relational database is, which is the current situation with Git

and like, sorry, but it doesn’t matter how good your SQL query documentation is if your audience doesn’t know anything about relational databases; they need to go learn that first

but we get lots of people complaining that Git documentation isn’t good enough because it assumes basic working knowledge of what Git is and what it is doing in its explanations

re: expanding slightly on my annoyance 

@akjcv do you know of any actual controversy regarding Han unification coming from a Chinese context? my understanding is that it is primarily Japanese users who get upset about it, and Chinese users are lightly in favour, especially(?) since simplified and traditional forms of characters are always given different codepoints. but i haven't seen much evidence either way, and would be interested in reading more words from a Chinese perspective

@coriander i work for the university of california so i was following it very closely when it all went down

@coriander i would hope they signed considering what UAW 4811 has gone thru

« Prometheus was the god who brought fire to earth and aided man in defiance of Zeus. Instead of Christ, who had become mythical in the thought of Strauss and Bauer, Marx directed himself to Prometheus to express his commitment to human welfare. »

the JD doesn't mention it so i would inquire before applying, but it is tagged for remote work: jobs.code4lib.org/jobs/61853

anyway i’m reading early marx and without weighing in on the controversy as to whether late marx disavows early marx or is a refinement of it, i think the reason why early marx, the part where he is journeying from a Western Christian upbringing thru Hegelian philosophy to Marxist enlightenment, tends to be popular in Western and predominantly white liberal settings is pretty obvious, and maybe charts a way forward for the rest of us

not all marxists are white but white people CAN be marxists. u can claim that one. it’s not appropriation

in retrospect it was probably a good call giving us the room next to the shower

uspol, an actual take is in here 

@coriander but anyway more broadly, if the race is decided before the election even happens, the least you can do is give the elected official a more interesting mandate than “do whatever you want”, and this applies broadly

i know the idea of elected officials receiving mandates thru elections is outdated here in estados unidos, but maybe we should resurrect it
