  • Hrm so I searched around that site a bit, and I genuinely cannot find them ever discussing that. Maybe it’s in some of the videos (a very poor choice of design for something that supposedly is about more inclusive communication) but mostly it seems to be seminares and workshops.

    But just to ask the general question, I still need to make a negative assessment, yes? I still say “worst”, not “++ungood”. So I would also call something “stupid”, not “unsmart”?
    Intuitively just from the title, of course nonviolent communication ought to be a thing, but that’s distinct from a discussion as to whether all uses of a word should take in account all other uses of the same word, no? E.g. stupid person vs stupid move, or rape as a crime vs rape as a plant.






  • So as s simple example from the system I work with:

    Customers can set rolling validities for alerts, e.g., Monday 8-10.

    If a customer from a place which currently has DST puts in 8-10 say, CEST, in their browser (6-8 UTC) then they intuitively expect this to still be 8-10 their local time (7-9 UTC) when later winter time rolls around.

    But, all data checked for alerts comes in in UTC and different users editing these validities are from different countries, timezones and summer time preferences.

    Gets funky really quickly. Especially because the evaluation has to account for the DST shift essentially on a per-recipient DST-when-configured vs DST-when-evaluated basis.
    (This is genuinely a simple example, it gets worse 😁)
