Non è la rete tutta ad essere "tossica", così come non sono le persone comuni ad essere necessariamente "una massa di ignoranti" (qui mi viene da criticare Eco). Queste idee portano a volte a implicazioni pericolose, come quella che la democrazia sarebbe nei fatti impossibile ("basta guardare cosa succede su Facebook, Instagram e TikTok", dicono). Pensiamo invece a che differenza passi tra TikTok e Wikipedia, e riflettiamo su quello.
Bell'articolo. Il successo di Wikipedia, (così come quello di GNU/Linux fin dai tempi di Raymond, Torvalds e Stallman) dimostra come la gente comune quando si mette insieme, anche in modo apparentemente disorganizzato, può creare GRANDI COSE. Dimostra inoltre che tossicità e ignoranza dominanti in certi contesti non dipendono dall'intrinseca incapacità dell'uomo di dominare i propri più bassi istinti, ma da come certe altre piattaforme vengono COSCIENTEMENTE progettate.

so, #Day2 of #AdventOfCode with #rust and #ruby.Brute force, but in ruby it feels more natural for me to create a bunch of arrays, in rust it seemed easier to fiddle with array indexes. I wonder if I could use some "zero cost" slices?I'm pretty sure I could do both things the same way tho. Also my first rust tests! I'm not sure what the naming convention is supposed to be, the rust book doesn't make it clear imo.https://gist.github.com/riffraff/0aae02aeaa3af9e0320b8d944ab78e2d

"This is a textbook case of what happens when there's this conflict between what companies want, what nonprofit individuals want, how much responsibility people have when they take money, who gets control and when. How much democracy versus just 'I have the power to do something, therefore I'm going to do it.'"(via @404mediaco)https://www.404media.co/how-ruby-went-off-the-rails/#Ruby #OpenSource #Infrastructure
