I think a system that allows a reason someone is denounced, specifically for political views or support, should be implemented, to block the mob from denouncing someone on all of their projects, simply because they are against certain topics, or in an opposing political party


Sometimes political views should actually get you shunned.

You're always free to create a fork.


And this is why it needs a reason/ban rule. You guys simply can’t help yourselves.


Please tell us the correct political views we should have, or at least provide a list of the political views that will result in a shunning.


You know exactly the ones they're talking about.

The ones you're not willing to say with your whole chest in public because you know what everyone will think about you.

Either have the courage of your own convictions or have shame, you pick.


1. Such a system is already in place (see the `--reason` flag).

2. Being able to denounce people with noxious political views is a feature, not a bug. If someone shows up in your issues complaining about how your CoC is "woke," they're a bad actor stirring up pointless drama. At best, this is just a waste of everyone's time, and at worst they're haranguing your actual contributors who happen to be trans or something. Respectful contributors naturally will not fall afoul of this, regardless of their beliefs or party affiliation or what-have-you.


Unfortunately, the mob mentality, and gate keeping from the Reddit mod era, proves that these types of systems simply don’t work.


We can see this effect from Mitchell's own release of his terminal emulator (Ghostty). It was invite-only. The in-crowd on YouTube/Twitter lorded it over others as a status symbol. None of it was based on actual engineering prowess. It was more like, "hey, you speak at conferences and people follow you on social media... you must be amazing".


They're negative sum, but even negative sum systems usually have many winners (so it 'works' for some subset of individuals). That's why it perpetuates.


i think you can go earlier then that. reminds me kind of rep systems on message boards. which got abused.


Yeah, these solutions are always made to try and disract from the fact that you need real, admin-level moderation and enfoecement to build trustworthy users and communities. a rogue actor should be afraid of losing their account if they submit slop. But instead all this is outsourced on the community to try and circumnavigate.

Community level enforcement is unfortunately a game of cat and mouse. except the mouse commands an army and you can only catch one mouse per repo. The most effective solution is obviously to ban the commander, but you'll never reach it as a user.


Between the redditors and the autistic people, I can’t tell who’s joking any more.


I appreciate that you are using this idea, but keeping padding and other design in tact, unlike most linux/unix devs that like dense ui.


This is great work.


All media/photos you upload to a private airtable.com app are public links. No authentication required if you know the url.


There is a dilemma for web developers with images loaded from CDNs or APIs. Regular <img> tags can't set an Authorization header with a token for the request, like you can do with fetch() for API requests. The only possibility is adding a token to the URL or by using cookie authentication.

Cookie auth only works if the CDN is on the same domain, even a subdomain can be problematic in many cases.


This is actually fairly common for apps using CDNs – not just airtable. I agree it's potentially problematic


Yes, this is the case for images uploaded through GitHub comments, I think.


That's not true. There is a JWT token in the url with about 5 minute expiration window.


Yes


well the created_at/updated_at (these arnt the names of the colums, but still) are from when my macbook synced and not when the actual contact was created. useful, but not what i needed.


Have you come across any high resolution sliders that you can recommend? Either motorized or not, or a brand in general you like?


Go with original replacement sliders from good mixer boards. They will usually be much much better and easier to select than any out of electronic vendor ones. They are really costly but the difference in behavior, feeling and reliability is worth the cost if you need precision.

I've had good success with Numark salvaged ones, but I'm sure there is better.


Move fast and break people.


And definitely don't want to make git branches that you forget exist.


Have you considered “git gui” or “git branch -a” ?
