@adactiojournal Agreed with all your points, except one: Apple does not have a monopoly, so it’s (legally) very unlike Microsoft in the 90s.
Some tweets make it sound as if the @lambda_conf folks invited a racist to share his political views … not true degoes.net/articles/lambdaco…

@tastapod I still think People should know them, they’re part of our folklore, for better or worse

Lots of recommendations for Head First Design Patterns. But do I want to recommend a book using Java written in 2004?

Assuming you consider the GoF design patterns still worthy of teaching today, what resource do recommend for students? The original book?

@dahankzter @lambda_conf @bodil Yes, I would attend. But I’m a straight white dude and wouldn’t expect others to give as few fucks as I do.

@dahankzter @lambda_conf I haven’t submitted anything. I meant that @bodil cancelling would strongly influence my decision as an organizer

Maybe the easiest way to get out of this mess, then, is to check whether people you care about will/would cancel. nitter.vloup.ch/bodil/status/712…

This issue is definitely complicated. And like Daniel & everybody else I respect, I have zero sympathy for racists
After consideration, my views on Moldbug at LambdaConf: gist.github.com/3a6ff436865d… He should be shown the door.

@adrienneleigh You are right, that was phrased badly. I still feel judging people based on their conduct *at the event* is a good choice.
@glassresistor @aphyr I find this very tempting, and often say things like that. I’m just not sure it’s the right thing to do for all cases.

@glassresistor @aphyr I’d be interested in that list. My guess is it would exclude a lot of people whose views you never even knew about.
@glassresistor @aphyr So if you’re not willing to ban homophobes and transphobes, should that be a potential reason to exclude you? ;-)
@glassresistor @aphyr Really? How about views on same-sex marriage, atheism, abortion and gun control?
@glassresistor @aphyr I would agree completely if they spoke about their views. But if they don’t?
