>...when you agree with someone simplifying like that it just pulls your bubble tighter and tighter...

I don't "agree" with it, I just find that style of communication clearly indicates their perspective, which I find useful. I try not to use labels like that on groups dogmatically, because I overlap agreements with almost everyone on something.

But, if we are talking about "one topic", as soon as you disagree with someone, you are now on different sides on "one topic". This article seems to be about "one topic", not a bunch, so I am not so sure it matters to much, because I have an opinion about that topic, so I am clearly on one side of it.

>...you can lose perspective on how the other side really feels..

I guess I just don't care to have "perspective" on how someone "feels" about kiddie porn, it's repulsive, sick and horrific. I don't need to empathise with them. Everyone has limits to their empathy, that's certainly one of mine.

I am just fine being divided on this topic.

Well, since a year or two EU-wide free roaming is a thing.
"EcoLogic told the Super Express newspaper that somebody found the tracker in Sudan, removed the sim card and put it in their own phone, where they then racked up 20 hours' worth of phone calls"

So they actually got a huge bill because they didn't set a SIM lock (if that's possible), and didn't block voice calls and so on.

Presumably, they had a good contract for sending tiny packets of data, but not for roaming calls in Sudan.

Ah you have hit the nail on the head. It's not just who defines morality, it is often also circumstances surrounding events that all combine to make life complicated. A man and a woman swear to be faithful to each other, then it is immoral to cheat on each other. The religion you follow also defines what is immoral and what isn't. There are also different ways to intepret religious passages.

The reason I said life is complicated is because it is impossible to define immorality for everyone. There is also the issue of the law, what is legal may not be moral. Then they are personal circumstances. Is it immoral for an abused married woman/man to cheat? Everyone will have their own answer based on their beliefs. This is why life is complicated. It isn't as straightforward as media headlines we see.

I never thought of neutrality like that - thanks, +1 Insightful and such!

Although I wonder if that can be applied to other issues too. Like, if I were to have no opinion / consider myself neutral in the pro-choice / pro-life debate, which side would I actually be on? Or is there a neutral / indifferent ground there?
I could swear Asimov (or someone else) hypothetized that finding oxygen in a planets atmosphere would indicate the presence of life. Oxygen reacts so readily with other things that there would have to be a “someone” producing it. Guess he was wrong. I wonder what would suggest life if found in an atmosphere.
I guess it has become part of the myth of the machine - better not dig too much, as it is a much better story if there's some mystery attached.

For starters, assuming it is not powered off batteries/solar, someone provides power to it; they are unlikely to do so for free; a little bit of asking around would probably solve the 'mystery' right there.

Sure, you wouldn't really interact with a computer the way we do now once you have AIs that can understand natural language. It would be more like having a personal secretary.

I don't think theorem provers are actually the way to get there though. AI systems are probabilistic in nature, and neural nets are self-organizing. One of the biggest problems is that it's really hard to tell how such a system arrives at a decision. The human brain itself is not based on formalism, and we find formal thinking to be very challenging. It's something that needs to be trained, and doesn't come to most people naturally. Our whole cognition is rooted in heuristics.

Those articles are so cool, loved reading them. It reminds me of the long explanations in the book Cryptonomicon about Intramuros/Manilla and how the bigger ballast stones that came from Europe ended as huge stair steps.
Yep. I almost stopped reading (but read on) after this sentence:

This is clearly not from a neutral person. He very clearly picked a side.

Sure, but then you're not getting the formal guarantees. The whole argument here is regarding whether adding more formalism improves code quality. If you agree that less formalism is better in some cases, then it's just a matter of degrees.

I get that the article's solution technically does remove a merge collision problem, but this adds other non-automatable™ problems that require giving humans special instructions because of the exceptions to the rule.

Explanations aside, the phenomena I mentioned go directly against common intuitions. Those intuitions are not as accurate as people think they are.

1. When the app starts, the onboarding screen appears with a flicker/glitch: https://imgur.com/IyjM82n

2. The app starts with a launch image (the logo in the center), which then fades away to show another launch image (with the logo on the top half of the screen): https://imgur.com/0n3Zbof (probably because ReactNative must load the JS bundle before it can show anything)

3. The login screen of the application fits on the screen, yet it can be scrolled up/down for seemingly no reason. The amount you can scroll feels suspiciously close to the height of the iOS status bar: https://imgur.com/P6conGz (probably because ReactNative sets the UIScrollView's contentInset incorrectly)

4. Text fields / buttons look like on a website.

5. When you navigate back from the login screen after a failed login, there's a brief moment while the "Unsuccessful login with Facebook" message is visible, which then quickly disappears: https://imgur.com/hTTKbIt

Sorry, but it feels like a webapp to me. Though it might be perfect for your use case!

Update:
I've found some other issues:

6. You can't interact with buttons (e.g. "Next" button on registration) while the keyboard is visible: https://imgur.com/dpy5xv8

7. The first time you switch to a tab, it's completely empty, then suddenly the content pops into place: https://imgur.com/JKaCJED

8. Tapping on the search button makes the content of the previous page jolt against the top of the screen while navigating to the search page: https://imgur.com/BJDYvda (focus on the panda)

9. The "sidebar" menu feels very out of place on iOS. Also, when you select e.g. "Settings", the content on the right does a very weird fade/slide animation: https://imgur.com/ChNzvwW

10. When you switch between two non-adjacent tabs, the viewport slides over the in-between tabs too: https://imgur.com/BZFU0Sv

What many people don't expect is that if the compiler can prove that some function invokes undefined behavior, the compiler can emit no code for it at all--before, during, and after the UB expression.

Saying that writing past the end of an array could modify any other variable is one thing. Saying that writing past the end of an array could make your entire program do nothing is quite another.
Most, if not all, EU carriers (I assume including this one, but don’t speak German) have a limit of how long you can actually be outside your home country. After that period they either terminate your contract or withdraw the free EU roaming (which is perfectly legal per the regulations).

I agree re: Phlebas. Use of Weapons, while I know it's one of the more famous ones, didn't strike me as much better, though. A lot of people have taken me to task for that opinion, though, so I've a hunch I'm missing some type of life experience that would allow me to better connect with the stuff detailed in Weapons.

In general, I think there are basically three tiers of Banks books:

Shit-tier. Examples: Player of Games, Against a Dark Background. Overly simplistic or simply without point.

Mediocre: Consider Phlebas, Use of Weapons, a lot of others. Nothing to really tie them together, but enough interesting moments that you don't absolutely hate them.

God-tier: Excession, Matter, Hydrogen Sonata. Books that have few if any bad qualities, and are massively thought provoking to boot.
Agreed, from the end of the article, even the person sent in to warn of fake news was beaten to death. Don't forget these are the same areas where honor killings happen all too frequently.

Instagram IGTV Anoouncment
I also heard about the new announcement of Instagram IGTV. The best social media platform which is providing these services is given below https://buyinstagramfollowers44.co.uk/buy-instagram-tv-views/
I found this part the most disturbing:

> While searching the premises of the board members in Augsburg, Jena, Dresden, and Berlin, the police – on their own accord –decided to extend the search to premises also used by members of the CCC: the OpenLab in Augsburg. Here the officers were confronted with hackers in their natural habitat: substances to clean and etch circuit boards as well as hair bleach. After interpreting the contents of a whiteboard as a bomb making manual, the officers then went on to accuse random people present at the hackerspace of plotting a bombing attack. Three people were arrested on the spot and the hackerspace was subsequently searched without a court order and without any witnesses.

So working on circuit boards is being construed as plotting a bombing attack? Really?

Reality is far more nuanced, yes.

Yes, let's shoot the messenging platform for allowing people to communicate so easily.

For example, I'll boldly state that optimizing out a "if (p == NULL)" only because p was dereferenced earlier never makes sense. Code containing such a check is never performance sensitive enough to justify the tradeoff (or it's really bad code).

This kind of thing really comes to the fore when the compiler is doing a lot of inlining. Say you have some kind of utility function:

int frob(struct foo *f)
{
int r;

if (f != NULL)
{
/* things */
}
else
{
/* other things */
}

/* more things */

return r;
}

..and you call this function all over the place. If some of those callsites end up with `frob()` being inlined, and the compiler can see that the pointer passed is never NULL at that particular site, it can usefully eliminate the dead code. This despite the fact that the code isn't dead in general - just at some of the callers.

Why does it have to be black & white?
That's true, though being pretty involved in the ecosystem (e.g. anecdote) I believe that people tend to agree with the general concepts (with exceptions).

> it's opinion that everyone else is stupid and wrong

I can't speak for the BDFL, but I don't believe this is the intent. It's not meant to say everyone else is wrong and Python is right, rather that Python prefers fewer ways to do things and certain complexities aren't worth it when there's a good way already in the language to do $feature. Complexity may not be in the python layer even, it could be maintenance in the underlying implementation (CPython, PyPy, Jython, ...)
