Black Lives Matter: React Router Docs Are Offline
reacttraining.comI think that this is a nice gesture. For those who are puzzled, I think that they’re just trying to help us to keep our work and programming in perspective by providing a reminder where we might not expect it. If you really need to read the docs you can do it on github. Think of it as a PSA, maybe.
Why would this be a good thing? Why not leave the docs up to help further educate people, but put a banner on top of the site to show respect like Hacker News does?
You can call attention more so by reserving a nice area of at the top of the page and logo while still encouraging people to come and learn. Now people will just go there and leave. I can't see how this would get people to care or care more?
Just my opinion.
Because educating people on racism and police brutality is far more important than educating someone on a navigation library.
Okay, I expected to see such answers on social media and not on Hacker News. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for your thoughtful answer.
Yes, a great reminder we in tech can have material responses as well!
This is great. Respect.
The docs are still readable on Github, fyi.
Flagged?
Com'on!
Political posts are only allowed if they can be construed as interesting to venture capital.
cockSec or cuckSec, what ever these authoritarians that keep flagging BLM are alive and well.
I don’t really see how taking docs offline helps anyone either functionally or symbolically.
It calls attention to the issue.
Pretty sure they can just put a header or modal when you load the page.
I'd say we're all fairly well aware of it though.
My thoughts exactly.
My biggest issue with this is the assumption that racism is involved. Two of the officers involved are not white and the only "evidence" I have seen that Chauvin is racist is a picture of another person.
