PoliticsThe art of decision making

@DoomsdaysCW I lived in Poland and visited the nature park. Indeed, Simona Kossak is an icon and this overly romanticised text (probably AI!) may squeeze the tear duct but reality was different:

Simona Kossak was a biologist, ecologist, and professor of forest sciences, specialised on the behavioral ecology of mammals. She worked at the Mammal Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Białowieża and at the Forest Research Institute at the Department of Natural Forests, where she

»Das Verständnis der Orthodrome als kürzeste Verbindung zweier Punkte auf einer Kugeloberfläche ist unerlässlich für das Verständnis der „geradlinigen“, unbeschleunigten (Abkehr vom Konzept der Gravitation) Bewegung im gekrümmten Raum (allgemeine Relativitätstheorie, Raumkrümmung).«

I don’t agree at all. Finding a bug is work. Good bug reports are valuable contributions to projects I maintain.

Bad bug reports are a small cost.

Bad bug reports that people demand fixes to are a bigger cost, but they’re not that hard to ignore. And I’ve not really had a problem with them, it’s easy to just close them as ‘submitter too annoying’ and block the submitter.

The benefits I get from it being easy for people to report bugs are far greater than the costs, or I wouldn’t do it. One of my projects has an FAQ that has ‘no’ in the answer to ‘Should I use this?’. It’s had one issue filed, which actually is something I want to fix and came with a nice test case, but the submitter closed it when I explained why fixing it hadn’t been a priority for me.

Overheard some conversation between three Ukrainians in #Berlin today

The conversation started in #Russian, but then some words became pronounced more and more the #Ukrainian way. Then vocabulary started to drift.

Half an hour in, it was kind of half of Ukrainian language spoken. It all sounded natural, as if a relationship between those people became closer as they kept on chatting.

Open Source is one person

The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the software running THE WHOLE F*CKING PLANET is written by one person. In a country. But we have no idea which country. It’s not the same person mind you, but it’s one person.
