OK lets say this article harmed me in some way. If I don't need to prove it then this law lets me shut down the BBC? How do you deal with thousands of "online harms"? If I do need to prove it, given the law is so vague on what that is, I can never succeed since big sites have fancy lawyers, and small sites will just go out of business, and the law is a waste of time.

Nice to see G'MIC's smart colorize algorithm making its way into core GIMP. The research team worked with David Revoy, the character designer of several Blender open movies (such as Sintel or Spring), so I've heard a lot about it from him. He's written a few blog posts (e.g. [1]) and videos on how to use the Krita and GIMP implementations of the feature.

Slippery slope is a fallacy for a reason. By your argument anything that takes away any control ever is a bad thing and could lead to thought crime.

I think this necessitates a change in how we view marriage, not sex. If we looked at marriage as a construct for the purpose of raising children together, relatively divorced from love and lust, then it would still be able to provide a stable environment for children even as the parents are free to have other lovers. Basically, we'd need to change the narrative from 'marry your one true love' to 'marry a good friend'.
Ironically, I found the title to have the opposite effect; I read that "Node's oldest NPM package is being deprecated", and didn't think much of it; I imagine the oldest package in a repo is often just some kind of test package or some boring utility which isn't relevant anymore. It was first after clicking and reading that it's talking about requests that I thought, "oh, that's actually a kind of big deal".
Well, again, what of the things you said do not apply to any form of planning?

The only benefit of a plan is that you may discover it's wrong, and it's easier to throw away than the done thing. If you are not willing to reform or throw away your plans, you are doing it wrong.

One of the primary reasons anonymity is important, is to enable critics of oppressive regimes to voice their opinion.

However, enabling complete anonymity everywhere might not be necessary for that; if you can get someone else, in a different country, to take responsibility for it, that might work too. That's similar to how journalists keep their sources secret, or how wikileaks works.

Stuff that's important will still get published as long as you can get someone else to recognise its importance. But who's going to take responsibility to publish your child porn or snuff movie in their own name?

Do you know the difference between need and desire? Can you comprehend how desiring sex is different to needing food and shelter?

It is true that most people, as you indicate, are apparently unable to live an awesome life without sex in horizon. But that does not automatically make sex a "necessary condition" for an awesome life.

> Not sure how you can live an "awesome life" without your basic natural desires being met.

A desire, unlike a need, is not set in stone. Aggression is a "basic natural" instinctual passion too; does that mean you are rendered incapable of living an awesome life without going about killing your fellow human beings?

It is clear that you are not "well aware" of the difference between a desire and a need.
It doesn't take that long to get your own config up and running.

I switched to Vim not too long ago and started with pretty much an empty config. In 1 week I had things customized to my liking and felt quite productive.

You can read about that whole process at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/getting-productive-with-vim-i...

I would be reluctant to use something like SpaceVim from the beginning because it's way easier to learn something new at a lower level of abstraction and only add things in as you need it.

Maybe it's worth looking at in the future, but if you do at the start you're probably going to get hit by information overload.
This is my reasoning behind using a vpn for things other than getting around geoblocked content: I'm adding another layer of international bureaucracy and law enforcement to the process of a copyright's holder getting to me, despite it actually being legal where I live.

There's no barrier like international bureaucracy and language barriers. Good luck navigating the courts of 3 countries within the time period that any logs might have to be saved for at the last hop.
I don't see how that's related to what we're talking about--except as an attempt to take an even more extreme set of cases to justify the need for regulating what everybody can and cannot read online.

In the extremely rare cases where parents aren't able to take care of children, new guardians might be assigned by the government, but then they would take on the same responsibilities as the original parents, including not letting a kid starve himself to death because of an internet video.

If you mean that the State is justified to intervene in some cases sure--but it depends how extreme these cases are. Certainly not what people post on the internet (on top of already existing laws that regulate dangerous behavior).
One of the interesting things about this take on Prolog vs the Power of Prolog (https://www.metalevel.at/prolog), is that it attempts non-monotonic reasoning.

I am married to a ICU physician. Neurological Critical Care is their ultimate specialty, but they practice in all parts of the critical care system: Emergency->ICU/Neuro ICU.

It's a very emotionally and mentally taxing job. Basically nothing that arrives under your care is good news. Often you know the potential outcomes before anyone else, including the other physicians who are sending someone in to your care. A large portion of the job is telling other specialities "No", either because they haven't done their job or because the case is "non survivable". This is necessary because you have a very limited number of beds in an ICU and if you fill one, someone else might very well die while waiting to be prioritized in. Because of all that, you are almost never the 'hero' in the story. The very best you hope for is that people acknowledge that you were able to keep someone alive long enough to get the treatment they ultimately need, or you were able to stabilize them enough to move to a step-down or palliative care department.

Then there are the families. The vast majority seem (based on my external observation) seem to grasp what is happening and make reasonable decisions. There are some amount of them however, who are completely ignorant of the pain and suffering they are imposing on their loved one. Over time it seems like a young ICU physician goes from seeing these families as ill-informed and possibly well meaning to seeing them as selfish and uncaring.

Externally I would say that it seems like groupthink is almost always a component of the decision making process. In a setting where just a single partner or other person is making a decision, they have a lot of empathy, if it is a family or group, they have empathy for eachother, but not for the patient. At least not in the way they think they do.

I'm not sure where I am going with this other than to say that as an observer to this almost every day, this article really just scratches the surface of this issue. I shared it with my partner and another ICU physician and their reaction was "that's minor leagues after a while, but your first few do always stick with you" to "I don't know why I even do this job."

Current example: 87 year old patient, already has metastatic cancer, had a stroke and is being "maintained" entirely by machinery. The family "Doctor, you have to do everything, we want her to make it to her 90th birthday"

Moreover, I think there's an 80/20-ish sweet spot. With an attitude of moderation, you can keep a brisk pace and achieve a pretty clean codebase with little extra effort.

It seems best to defer architecting just long enough to see that some component is becoming problematic, but not much longer. Do it too early and you waste effort. Do it too late and you have a much larger mess to clean up.

Fast reactors have been disappointing all over the world. The harder neutron spectrum is more damaging to materials, and liquid sodium has serious drawbacks. Fabrication of fuel elements with mixed actinides is also difficult. Fast reactors also require a higher density of fuel (due to the lower fission cross section at high neutron energy), which presents safety issues.

In theory, yes. In practice I haven't found a way to do so, especially with Facebook being a big American company and me living on the other side of the ocean... The best case I can imagine would probably be an e-mail from the police department arriving at Facebook a few months after and the content being removed, there isn't any real way to damage them without the effort and luck of a targeted PR attack.

My point is that this paragraph uses stilted language to make a completely mundane event sound sinister, and this makes me skeptical of how the app is portrayed in general. What’s despicable about that? Should I ignore manipulative writing as long as the targets deserve it?

Extremely interesting, thank you! But my point still stands. Consider this image in ultra high definition:

If you drag the image around, you notice that the water has different highlight points at different angles. If you would stand in front of this painting, your natural body movement (of even a tree before the window) would constantly change the lighting and almost certainly result in a very natural-looking water surface. I cannot imagine reproducing this digitally without it feeling "artificial" or "forced".

> ISP at least will not sell your data to questionable buyers

https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/09/us-cell-carriers-still-sel...

ISP regulation in the US has completely failed to prevent abuses. I'm not here to argue that you should blindly grab a 4-5$ a month VPN, but absent a technological solution like Tor, this is better than nothing.

But if you really think your ISP is more trustworthy than PIA, set up your own VPN on a Linode server and use that instead. At least then you won't have to trust your university/hotel/business Internet to be configured correctly, and at least then you won't be handing your zip code to every single site you visit.

Even a self-controlled VPN is a strict privacy/security upgrade over connecting your laptop unprotected to a hotel's wifi.

> if you are trying to prevent someone to build a profile on you entirely

If you are trying to prevent someone from building a profile on you entirely, then you are going to need to do a lot more than use a VPN. But that's in addition, not instead. You have to start somewhere.

1) Internet porn is training young men to have sex with fantasy images, making sex with a real partner an alien concept.

2) People are way more engaged with screens than in person

3) Masculinity is labeled 'toxic', etc. Young men are not getting the support/encouragement/mentoring they need.
You've somewhat answered your own question, it's not so much a 'hard' problem as these are people and experimenting/hacking on them is not recommended. It's one of those things that needs to be done with the highest regard to ethics and patient welfare.

You could maybe contribute as a software developer by optimising the tantalum metal industry, medical equipment manufacturing or medical records and patient care in general?
I think this article addresses the half the medical landscape where the problems are hard and computers are worse than humans at solving them. The other half is where the problems are "easy". Practices where Doctors spend ~5 minutes with each patient doing physicals and treating minor ailments. In that half doctors can already easily handle the problems so there's no real value add for a computer.

It would take a paradigm shift before AI became useful. Going to watson.com and getting a prescription for antibiotics would be useful and technically feasible. So would augmenting lower trained people to be able to deliver more care. Neither are possible legally and it's not exactly a field you can get away with disregarding the law.
I don't feel like it has anything to do with entitlement. Men are feeling cheated because society has beaten into their heads a poor model for attracting a mate, and application of that model doesn't produce the results it is advertised to. Coupled with the still rather extreme level to which male status is judged by sexual conquest it is no surprise that we have problems with violent outbursts and clamoring for a return to regressive societal constructs.
“requests” doesn’t support (or apparently want to support) Promises which are now widely used in the JavaScript community, thus it’s obsolete. Promises work best when all the async operations in your code use them, especially with async/await.

Interestingly early versions of Node had a limited form of Promises but they were quickly removed.

I was a Photoshop user from the late 90's until about 3-4 years ago. It was a slow transition to FOSS tools, because there was never a concerted effort to switch to FOSS, it just happened because I like the tools better, and it's easier to not have to deal with licensing.

Photoshop is a bit a of jack of all trades, and the FOSS tools are usually more targeted. So Gimp may have all that you need, but that depends on what you use Photoshop for. I would look at the capabilities of not only Gimp, but Krita (for digital painting), Darktable if you want a more specialized tool than Gimp for photo manipulation, Inkscape for vector editing, Libresprite for pixel art (which is a fork of Aseprite, which went from open to closed source).

As far as being easy to transition to, I would say that it's a bit easier now than it has been in the past, but they make no effort to be a Photoshop clone. The biggest hurdle is re-training your muscle memory. I would suggest to do what I did, and do a project here and there using Gimp, and eventually the muscle memory problem will not be such a hurdle.
Using Graph Theory to Decide Where to Start Reading Source Code
You have to look at it from a statistical point of view. The homosexual population is insignificantly small in a statistical sense. A small percentage increase in homosexuality in either sex isn't going to skew the data much. Also, even if there are more lesbians, it doesn't necessarily mean they are having more sex. "Lesbian bed death" exists for a reason. We know that lesbians don't have as much sex as other sexual groupings. And though more women are willing to try lesbianism than men are willing to be gay, it's also true that more lesbians leave lesbianism and marry men than gay men leave homosexuality and marry women. But in any case, the numbers of gay and lesbians are so small that it really doesn't affect the overall trend we are seeing.
I'm not sure that I understand your question. Certainly all of our understanding of astronomical effects includes (and often depends on) the effects of intervening clouds of gas and dust: that hasn't been overlooked or omitted from any professional-level analysis. (My memory/guess is that in the presence of an absorptive medium, influences like light intensity will fall off as e^(-a*r)/r^2 rather than just 1/r^2. But the point is that we can model that absorptive term reasonably well, and the underlying 1/r^2 still results naturally from 3D space.)

(Meanwhile, to a first approximation, intervening dense objects like planets or stars are rare enough to be negligible: even in a region like our solar system where such objects are most likely to be found, the available volume is overwhelmingly empty space.)
> Your remarks apply only to cranking out new code. Static typing prohibits making fundamental changes to an existing body of code, like changing a core, widely-used data structure. To make such a change, you have to be extremely sure that you want it and that you're doing it right.

I’m reading this and I have just no idea what to say.

With static typing you don’t have to be very considerate in this work, because you will have a compiler telling you if anything is broken, not to mention refactoring-tools which can help you reliably and automatically make those changes across your entire code base in a verified 100% correct way.

With dynamic typing however, you just have to guess and pray.

Clearly static typing is the superior option in this specific scenario where you are calling out static typing to be a disadvantage.

So what am I missing?
Wooden Planks Texture Overlays
I think it’s natural for both genders to get a feeling of undesirability if not courted by the opposite gender. In this case I don’t see it as a problem that just afflicts men who are feeling entitled to sex. It’s a problem where one gender is getting a feeling of undesirability substantially less than past generations and are feeling the consequent effect of that on their confidence (just as it manifest in any other human being).

It almost seems as if you’re saying this is how things should be and that men should be the ones to change their views to accept it. From a sociological perspective, men (or any specific population) who aren’t able to form meaningful relationships) can cause problems for society just as the original post stated. Women are the ones who headline this discussion only because they lead the power dynamics which happen to be extremely unfavorable to a large population of men.
