Q: What are the differences between Zie, Sie, Ey, Ve, Tey, E

ProgrammerStack Exchange have released a post about changing their policy and CoC on using personal pronouns. I am not familiar with all of the personal pronouns linked in an article that they cite on the linked meta post. What exactly are the definitions of each of these personal pronouns, and their diff...

I'm not sure about this one, it feels pretty broad to me regardless of how relevant this discussion is and I certainly don't disagree with the question being asked and discussed i'm just not sure if IPS is the place to answer that specific question? Thoughts? I'm open for feedback and education if I am wrong.

Really, TGIF. I had a coworker fall out ill for two weeks, she was back yesterday, but is taking days off again today and Monday. I'm basically stuck with her work, which she didn't meet her deadlines on and now I have to do it and I hate it ....
And her.

Q: Is it fair to impose one's values to others?

Brian Díaz FloresAs I see it, values are not self-evident nor have an inherent valorization on themselves; they are always defined based on a preexistent value. This is lead us to a point where we define a basic, fundamental value only because "we find that value as valuable. Because of the way our brains are wir...

Watcha think about the edit on this question? interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/23120/4550
Seems still too broad for me but I wanted second thoughts

8:57 AM
Yeah, pretty broad still... As there's not much info on how they've already approached their partner about this or why they think they need help...

@Tinkeringbell they said in comments they haven't
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
Hmm. We really need to have some kind of general 'How do I have a good conversation about sexual topics' baseline question I think... Because now we're getting so many about just parts/different kinds of sex that are broad enough to probably be answered by a general one :/
 
Ælis
Ælis
@Tinkeringbell I think this explains well why they didn't: "I don't want to ask in a way that puts any blame for anything on them, or maybe in a way that doesn't make them uncomfortable or embarrassed if there is a reason for it.". I don't really see what else they could add?
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@Ælis Well, I kinda want to know what they're planning on doing then, that makes them fear they would be perceived this way?
Then again... I was always taught to just ask and talk in sex-ed. I guess most people weren't ;)
 
Ælis
Ælis
@Tinkeringbell Yeah, I can pretty much tell you that's not how I was taught regarding sex (which is a shame, IMO, everyone should be able to talk freely about that. Especially about that)
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@Ælis I guess that's really one thing that amazed me... how 'matter of fact' things were in those lessons, and how open people are to doing 'it' right.

@Tinkeringbell That's what I was afraid of.. she shouldn't have said so..
@Rainbacon could you write experimental in that reason? I thought it was regular AIC
didnt mean to "cheat"
@AJ server not responding. :( What is it?

Google "I can do this all day" on Google Images and you will know what is it.
 
Ælis
Ælis
@ankii I know it confused me at first too, but we mark something as "tp" if the comment should be deleted, even if it doesn't match the reason given in the regex (so, if something is rude, we would "tp" it even if it was catch as "answer in comment")
 
ankii
ankii
12:15 PM
But that spoils the training of the bot.. I unknowingly did that. You reverted it, I appreciate it.
 
Ælis
Ælis
No worry ^^ (also, a "tp" or "fp" can't be revert, we can just add more "tp" or "fp" on top of them, but having three tp instead of one don't make a difference (so far) on how the bot treat it)
 
ankii

ohh.. I wish I could be a bit more focused to save some time for such interesting bots, among other things to do.

I understand the feeling. I, too, wish I could help with it (but I'm not planning on learning Ruby anytime soon, so...)

I've been working on an issue on of our clients' servers for the last two days. I narrowed it down to some strange looking rows in our SQL db. Every row we have has a "Record Version" column (that starts at 0 and increments). These all had the same record number--some big number in the thousands. My coworker joked this morning that maybe it's a JIRA task number, so I looked it up and...it's an old task from a problem dev had fixed months ago on this server and that dev's fix is what was causing the problem, which made it trivial to solve now. But the realization that the record version was …
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
JIRA task numbers? what are those? My coworkers just branch a dev-initials branch from development, make their changes, commit it with a 'dev-initials' message, and merge it back :/
I'm working on changing it but it's slow. I think actually getting a gitlab/JIRA plugin rolling might create a bit more awareness.
 
scohe001
scohe001
@Tinkeringbell ... that's...horrifying. How do you keep track of what does what or what's getting patched? O_O
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@scohe001 Ohhh, let me tell you about our 7k line patch file :P
 
scohe001
scohe001
....
But..uh..you at least have unit tests...right??
 
avazula

unit ... wat
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
2:48 PM
If you make your changes and have committed them, you're up for a ride. You open the patch, search to see if the method you changed is already in there... if it is, you can just copy-paste your changes over it. If it's not... well, good luck finding the 'right' spot to insert your changes!
@scohe001 What ava said :P
 
scohe001
scohe001
@Tinkeringbell wait...your version control doesn't have a way to graft changes into a patch for you automatically? You do it all by hand?!
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
So every regression test is done by hand. And if there's one scenario missed, like last week: You end up with 22 missing electricity cables in prod!
@scohe001 Uhhuh!

Holy moly. That's all I can say. I'm so sorry

More fun: I'm the only one on the team that 'knows' git. The rest grew up with SVN, but the company is now making them use git.
 
ankii
ankii
SVN is antique..
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
2:51 PM
I guess that's what you get when working with severly legacy applications ;) To be a bit more positive: There's another team in the company working on upgrading those applications, and they do have unit tests.
 
ankii
ankii
I had to use it once, recently, to get hold of a single binary file out of a repository. Cannot say I fully understood it
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
Also, those upgraded applications work with feature branches, and releases and it's all very pretty compared to what I'm working with now ;)
 
scohe001
scohe001
@ankii it's only 5yrs older than git ;) at least it's not like...clearcase or something
@Tinkeringbell ahh that makes a little more sense. If this is legacy code, then you're living in the wild west. At least there's a Grand Redesign in the Sky to look forward to
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@ankii I joined this company around May last year. They'd be using SVN till late July. I was told to not even try, and just save my work very carefully until such time as they would've switched to Git, and then to commit it XD
@scohe001 Yep :)
 
ankii

Glad the open source org I am trying to work in uses git for main repo and SVN for mundane ones.. And we dont have to go through the intense GitHub UI. They have separate websites for it

I've tried talking to the COBOL kids who sit down the hall from me and they have similar setups. I still don't understand how half the world works on this stuff, but as long as it keeps working I'm not complaining

Well, that. And to be honest? Kinda feels deliciously bad to write code, but no tests! :P

Q: Hypothetical questions rule clarification

Alex RobinsonRegarding the recent CoC changes on SE meta, I came across a post that argues gender has no place on SE - and I largely agree, yet this site is a little different because everything IS personal, and sex / gender can definitely play a role in how questions are answered (rightly so, in my opinion) ...

I'm in a similar boat to you with respect to teaching people Git.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
It's... I'd prefer them to use git bash, as it's easier to search for commands online... they're using tortoiseGit :/
So teaching them is... slow.
What are you using?
 
sphennings
sphennings
I spent a year convincing people that migrating from Perforce to Git was a good idea and now I'm the go-to person for every git question.
I wrote all my training docs based off using the command line. Every other tool is built off that and most of them have some operations that are easier to do from the command line.
It's a windows shop so Powershell + PoshGit
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
Oh, you actually wrote training docs! That's an idea... I'm just showing people and sometimes drawing a bit on the whiteboard.
 
sphennings
sphennings
5:57 PM
I've also done a lot of whiteboard scribblings.
It's the easiest way to explain rebasing.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
I find it helps, especially if you give each branch it's own colour ;)
@sphennings I just told a coworker 'you shall not rebase' this week. :P There's really no need for it, the way we're branching.
And he just messed it up XD
 
sphennings
sphennings
If you have local branches a rebase is cleaner than a merge.
I have a slightly modified rule which is "YOU SHALL NOT REBASE SHARED HISTORY!!!"
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
^ Which is exactly what the guy did, of course :P
 
sphennings
sphennings
*facepalm
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
My thoughts exactly :P
 
sphennings
sphennings
6:00 PM
I included rebasing in the training docs but repeatedly emphasized that there were risks associated with it and we expected them to do it right or not at all.
This scared most of them enough so that we haven't had any rebase related problems so far. (~2 months in)
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
But I've never used rebase much, I've always worked with a single local feature branch that's pushed upstream and then merged via merge request. So it took me quite a while to figure out what a rebase does, and why it went horribly wrong!
 
sphennings
sphennings
I like them for organizing my thoughts as a final step before I push a branch to remote.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@sphennings Oh, good! I've so far had people mess up submodules, a lot of panicking over branches that weren't attached to an upstream one, and someone making a new branch for each commit...
 
sphennings
sphennings
We aren't using submodules which helps a lot.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@sphennings To be honest, I liked GitHub better than GitLab: If you were looking at your branch, it automatically did the comparison between your branch and whatever you branched from... In Gitlab, I always have to navigate to a 'compare' tab to see only the commits I made on a branch.
 
sphennings
sphennings
6:04 PM
That's messy.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@sphennings Oh, we have one that we couldn't work around having... but the person that set it up kinda made a mess and then I made more mess (because I have never set one up, all I knew was that the previous project required me to git update submodule --remote from time to time :P)
I figured it out eventually.
Now all my coworkers just need to run that command from time to time ;)

@scohe001 I think you should state that you are just curious before actually asking your question, it would make it less "aggressive"

It's an interesting question by the way :)

Ælis
Ælis
@scohe001 If you want to go the extra step, I think you should add "(quite the opposite)" after "I'd like to note that I'm not trying to declare pronouns unimportant."
 
scohe001
scohe001
6:44 PM
Edit looks good @Ælis, thanks! I guess you liked the disclaimer more at the bottom :p
 
Ælis
Ælis
It felt more natural that way ^^
 
scohe001
scohe001
@Ælis I'd prefer not to add that, only because I want to keep the post impartial. I think showing support (or a lack thereof) for pronouns is going to turn any post into a firestorm at this point. I'm trying to walk the fine line in the middle. I want this one to just be about cold hard data :)
 
Ælis
Ælis
@scohe001 Then, maybe add a "definitively" in the middle? "I'd like to note that I'm definitively not trying to declare pronouns unimportant.". Without it, it can still sound a little like troll

@ankii I'd highly advise against searching all comments on SO. It'd probably timeout. At most I'd do a date range (like I did in the original query)
@CaldeiraG but did you try on super user ;)

yeah I meant that original one to be the default search criteria if 0 is entered.

I had once called Siri "her" . Their voice was female at that time..

well, the last 3 i was referring to Op as "he" indeed :)

ummm, I can be safe of that allegation by claiming that I meant user preferences. It says American Female, Australian Male etc.

hmm some of mine were problematic
I'm glad you pointed this out to me so I can improve it

Yea I have a good chunk that are just blatant assumptions of "he"/"him" which isn't great

mine are safe, except at one point, I use him/her for Allan xu
1. Declare you reject the new CoC as coercive and inappropriate.
2. Ignore it in your SE activity
That can lead to suspension right?
I'm sorry, this is the last meta post I am bringing here...

Someone respond in a comment to me, but I don't understand their last sentence. Could anyone tell me if it's rude or not? "But I am convinced we are not over what you do in private life (including basic metabolism) or insist I refer to you as they."
 
Em C

@Ælis I think maybe the "we are not over" is meant to read "we are not in disagreement over"? it's hard to parse for me too

@EmC Yeah, I think it should be read like that (so not offensive) but the "including basic metabolism" throw me of track ^^

@Ælis The basic metabolism bit doesn't make sense to me either

@bruglesco Maybe "we eat and sh*t all the same"? So a weird way to say "we are all humans"? x)

It's unfortunate that it was followed by more people explaining why it isn't okay to feel that way.

sometimes I feel like IPS people are put under more of a microscope - I've seen comments like "wow you're on IPS and you seem rude? irony??"
whereas I don't think I've ever seen stuff like "wow you're a mod on SO and you missed a null pointer exception??" :P

@scohe001 I know you can have some too? In French, I could call you a "garçon" (boy), so now you have a goatee too :p

Ooh score! irl I have quite a bit more than a goatee tho :p

8:27 PM
@CaldeiraG haha phew. I guess it probably looks worse because English just adds extra words for all the fancy tenses and those are built-in to your verbs? like we'd say "I would have been doing" and you would .. pick one from the list?
