Personally I hope Apple continues to ignore the AMP standard and leaves the links broken on iOS Safari, because it’s the only way to make it obvious to users what’s happening. Google is trying to sweep it under the rug; hopefully Apple doesn’t let them get away with it.
I really hope for Julia to become mainstream and maybe replace Python as the defacto lang for data science. Julia is an incredible language. Kudos to the team developing it.
Your and zaarn's comments are the classic fallacious dichotomy between van Smoorenburg init+rc and systemd, called out by the Uselessd Guy years ago. One day, the world will have a systemd discussion without an instance of this fallacy cropping up.

Japanese continues to have plenty of "ultrapolite linguistic elements". However, there are many formerly polite pronouns for "you" that have, over time, become blunt or outright rude: omae, temae > temee, kisama, etc.

These transitions can also be rapid: my mother-in-law calls me otaku without a hint of irony, since that was a perfectly polite term until it was suddenly adopted to refer to sociopathic geeks in the wake of the Tsutomi Miyazaki murders in 1989. Like many people in her age group, she never got the memo on this.
And just for the parent to your comment.

Because ALSO most forces can't spend the money to train their police in hostage situations. It isn't just giving them big "toys" that they want to play with. It isn't that they aren't trained. It is that it is impractical to train them.
And if in that women-dominated environment they targeted you with degrading comments or sexual harassment that would be just as bad, what's that comparison supposed to tell us? (and doing the same to men in a male-oriented environment isn't ok either if they aren't ok with it)
I'd beg to differ with this; it made the US a superpower because it completely decimated everyone else. Broken window fallacy-- Europe would have continued being more of a world producer if not for the lost lives, scientists, and manufacturing which could have more quickly made more advances.

AMP is not about fast websites, better user experience for either users or publishers, nor a trusted platform.

It's about google hosting your site and capturing data from it. It's a shitty idea and i can't understand why people use it.

Yes, make your website fast, please. There're plenty of guidelines and tests for that, but you don't need amp for that.

It seems to me that you're allowed to have whatever opinions you want. But if your opinions make you an asshole, people are gonna call you out on it.

Also have you ever considered that you think women are more likely to react in a harmful way because you're incapable of looking at something like this with empathy for women, because you're incapable of understanding their point of view? Dig deep, and try to look at this from the perspective of another human being. Start from scratch, forget your preconceived notions and look at this from a new angle.
> There are certainly some ways in which the translation attempts to emphasize certain theological/christological viewpoints, but the usage of "thou" is not one of them.

It wasn't theologically neutral, though. To address God with the polite plural form of the second-person pronoun suggests that the speaker is addressing an entity that occupies a higher position in some kind of social hierarchy, which implies that one's relationship to God is mediated by social structures. Use of the singular form was considered more consistent with Protestant theology, which emphasized a direct and individual connection between the believer and their God.

You see the same phenomenon in German, a language that's retained multiple forms of the second person. In German translations of the Bible, and in German prayers, God is addressed as "Du" (the familiar singular "you").

Hi. I have suffered from thinking about the future as something dangerous (a question of life or death) that is determined from each decision I make.
It has helped me a lot:
1) The faith: what is going to happen, what should happen. And that to receive it as learning.
A spiritual conception has let me not be so attached to life. Knowing that if death comes it has a meaning. And that there is a transcendence.
2) Do not manipulate with the intention of achieving my benefit. Giving meaning to the life of the common good.
3) Communicate: Talk about what happens to my family and friends. Do not keep it for me, expose me.
4) Put myself in the role that I should occupy: At work, as an employee. In my family, as a brother, as a son. With the doctor, as a patient ...
This order helped me to a better social development and a greater simplicity in my mind.
At the beginning, it cost me a lot to respect the treatment. I thought that I would not be able to develop professionally (I'm a systems engineer), and that I would lose intelligence. But with family help, with patience and learning to be more flexible, medication has been reduced to a minimum.
It's a process that has taken me years (and I'm still in process).
I appreciate everything that happened to me, because it has brought me many learnings.
It isn't a double standard, because the standard is consistent:

- People are responsible for what they say and can and should be fired if they support abhorrent policy or abuse people.

- People should always be able to reform and come back into society if they apologise, state they don't support their previous actions, and act differently.

These things are not contradictory.

Right now, there is an intentional effort by the alt-right to dig up these kinds of things from people who fit the latter category and raise them and promote them to try and minimise the voices of people who are now promoting things they dislike. It has nothing to do with the original issue, just the means to an end.

I'm not saying that the problem doesn't exist elsewhere, but that doesn't mean it's right that these people are targeted.
Just because there are false positives or one company has a bad implementation doesn't make it an unsolveable problem.

As parent mentioned, ml sentiment analysis + logging + peer reporting + final human analysis = problem effectively combated

It's the final human analysis that companies are loathe to fund (e.g. Facebook), as costs scale with user count.

But it's not efficiently unsolveable with current tech. Therefore, companies simply aren't prioritizing it. And won't, as long as the impact of toxic users isn't impacting the bottom line.

The practical result is that on a machine without a configuration file, you can’t determine what NTP server it’s trying to use without having access to the source code (or some compile time include) or doing some other trickery.

That is a ludicrous design decision and is indicative of the developers having zero empathy towards their users.

Who’s the “we’re”? I don’t agree with YouTube banning Alex Jones and numerous gun channels. I’ll probably cancel my YouTube red subscription over it.

25 years ago you would find the KKK show on NYC public access cable. A round table of guys in hoods, with an AK-47 table piece, talking about African Jews. That was there due to governments freedom of speech protections. Government is now turning a blind eye while corporate media monopolies get away with censorship.

If I were the FCC, I’d be shutting down YouTube.
Well she says in her account the large majority of people at Riot Games are lovely. The problem tends to be that there are powerful people who the company has strong reasons not to fire that perpetuate the worst behavior. Then the culture of ignoring the worst offenders allows other people to get away with little things. And the culture of ignoring things period, eats away at employees's sense of well being and sense that their workplace is fair and looks at them with respect.

I'm sure there are plenty of managers at Riot Games who wouldn't tolerate the stories for a second, but there are a few at or near the top that will and that can ruin an entire workplace.
Have you written somewhere about why you believe that context is not a relevant aspect of communication?

Kay. What are the odds that some HN commenters are going to solve the same problem that has been an active priority for years of the people in the field?

I can’t speak for Valve or Riot, but at S2 it was a concerning issue. There’s just no good way to do it when the people involved are actively malicious. If you think there is, get ready to have your community collapse around you as everyone complains about unfair bans.

I don’t think you really appreciate the scale of the problem. Final human analysis is not possible when there are literally millions of games per week. It’s also not something that ML can identify cleanly — the moment it does, the culture will adapt to bypass the evaluator. It always does.

3. Not to mention, ophthalmology is literally "study of the eye" and pediatrics is literally "child doctors". Those are made of very common greek and latin words that are in common usage today among many medical terms, so it's not like people don't learn and know them. I'll grant GP cirrhosis though, that's "weirdly off-coloured", which can be any number of conditions. Those words are sometimes locally translated as well, but almost everyone will understand the common latin/greek terms.

5. I really would be interested in seeing how comprehensible Chinese texts older than 100 years are to a modern reader.

Also notable from that poll, 48% of respondents consider themselves pro-choice, 48% pro-life.

If rtpg means banning abortion even when it would save the life of the mother or in cases of rape, it's true that few people support a ban that extreme.

But if rtpg means banning abortion except when it would save the life of the mother or in cases of rape, both sides do have roughly equal support.
Google replaced all there search results with ads a looong time ago.
I blogged the first time I saw Google results had all ads on the visible part of the results page. Now often its all ads for the whole page. And you will not find any page of results that is not defined by Google's definition of what "organic" search should be. E.g amp, https, having an adwords account, hosted by them, tuned your page to their adwords requirements. etc etc.

They are a complex combination of physiological and emotional issues, and both must be addressed in step with one another for complete healing to occur.

If it was the same, then maybe it was wrong with her too. I can't find an apology, however, so it seems different to me.
No one cares?
I think the Ho thing was clearly an attempt at humor, and an attempt to "bring her in" to the group. It's like an old job where I was called a coal miner (being the only guy from north England). It's a nice thing, you're taking stick but that's how male groups normally bond. Instead of taking the humor as it's intended she takes offense, and what's really happening is that instead of submitting to their culture and joining the group within it, she's trying to impose her own external culture to the group and not joining it.

Being able to live your life always refusing to step outside your own culture is in itself kind of a form of privilege. In another, wealthier-born life I'd never have worked for most of my companies and spent my whole life chilling with academics that I naturally resonate with. I could have quit when I got friendly insults or had to join in the drinking culture and written angry articles about it but I'm not sure that would make me worthy of respect.

The bit about hotel room with a random man is a bit nuts but I think her relationship with the guy had just degraded as he saw her as a SJW and he was trying (mistakenly) to take an opportunity to hit her with what he saw as her own arguments.
Apart from the library ecosystem, what attracts you to Julia?
There's not a boundary between them, one is a subset of the other. And what it really shows is how old and large the Church is (and, specifically how many questions it's been called in to address.)

How doctrinaire the Church is a pastoral question that (in terms of the central authority at least) changes considerably over time and especially with changes in Popes. Because, for all the accumulated history, tradition, and specialized language the Holy See had accumulated, it's still essentially an absolute monarchy, and the approach of the institutions reflects the personality of the person at the head of all of them.
Thanks. Mentioning this might be contrary to HN's ethos, however I felt like upvoting his one and only comment - which was very thoughtful and seemed lovingly in response to his grandson's mention.

Things are broken in this case because of a bug, not because of design decisions. All of the features "locking things down" are opt-in in the service file (to avoid "breaking userspace"), and the service file for systemd-timesyncd opted-in.
Julia is such a delightful language! It allows rapid prototyping and at the same time it runs fast. It has a great REPL, package manager and workflow with Revise.jl.
It's just semantics, sure, but it does mean the UK's largest broadcaster is not state-owned and has independence. That's important.
I’m not sure I’d characterise game developers quite that way but Riot’s hiring practices almost certainly contributed towards hiring that subset of developers. They require you to be a hardcore gamer and regular League player. Amongst other things this is quite a good filter to find a bunch of toxic employees.
> On the contrary, using Chinese characters makes the language more accessible to other Asian learners, due to many having some degree of formal study of the writing system

That's because you picked Japanese as an example. If I pick Vietnamese that's the opposite, the Chinese characters are hiding the similarities of both languages to a non-initiate Vietnamese speaker. Japanese is maybe the only language which benefits from the current writing.
I both agree and disagree with you. More sophisticated languages do have an obvious benefit to a great many problems and you're also right that often the problem is the developer's capabilities rather than the language. But you could also flip that argument and say a good developer could write good code in any language so why bother with anything more sophisticated.

However arguments about the developer aside, Go has other advantages that drew me to it. Such as

* cross-compiling requiring no additional effort aside setting an env var (It's been a why since I've written C++ but I seem to recall no end of bother there. Again a seasoned developer will argue it's easy but I certainly didn't find it that way)

* It compiles down to a portable executable (there are surprisingly few languages that do that)

* It's not overly verbose. Ok, this is only true if you're not having to work around generics or the "if err != nil" syntax. But for most problems I've found Go to be refreshingly direct.

* It enforces strict code layout guidelines so I can pick up anyone's code and can run with it easily enough.

* Compiler error messages are very easy to understand.

Sure there are other languages that cover some, maybe most of those points. But few cover all. Which is why I often describe Go as "a boring language that's pleasant for just getting shit done". Which is why I tend to favour Go these days despite having learned more than a dozen different languages over the years.

Needless to say a great many of people - both on and off HN - will disagree with me. But that's the beauty of personal opinion. Programming languages really are just the realm of preference.
