Glad we agree on some points. Also your reply does not sound harsh to me but rather like healthy skepticism.

> if the US was incredibly restrictive with immigration

This is the case! Take a look at ICE raids on workplaces/housing. Look at police and fascist militias preventing migrants passing the southern border from getting help (eg. destroying survival necessities such as water buckets left by humanitarian non-profits). Look at the for-profit business of locking up people (the prison industrial complex) making shit-tons of money on migrant retention centers.

I mean if millions of people are demanding now to #AbolishICE, it's precisely because the US has a very harsh policy against immigrants.

> But if this is comparable to ethnic cleansing, then what does that make almost all other countries? Some sort of ultra-nazis?

Did i say the US government was currently doing ethnic cleansing on its own soil? Sorry that was not my intention. There's plenty subtler ways to destroy people's lives than outright genocide.
The British in India had relatively few lines they wouldn't cross, for example famously after a "mutiny" (attempt to regain independence) they tied the "mutineers" over the mouths of cannons and fired through them.

What they did have was a busted economy after WW2, no access to international credit and a treaty with the Americans that was forcing them to decolonialize. The ongoing independence campaign (mostly paused during the war) put them in the position of "double down or fold" and they chose to fold. I think people overestimate the element of ethical embarrassment.
First off, Magic Lantern is amazing, it has been a huge value-add for my camera (which I kind of hate because it disincentivizes Canon from improving its practices).

Which I wouldn't use as an example, set aside postal codes (that do work nicely for the postman) actual addresses (meaning actually driving/walking to a given address) are not as straightforward/easy as in continental Europe.

See the classic "How to be an Alien" by George Mikes, the seven points in Chapter 21 "How to plan a town" remain IMHO a masterpiece.

What really makes me perplex sometimes about our US friends is their way of numbering floors:

Not entirely unlike when a program (or OS) starts numbering items from 0 when another program (or OS) starts numbering them from 1.
it's preparing the movements in advance via simulation, is it still active damping if it has done that?
Sure! I dislike all sorts of languages and environments.

That wasn't my point. My point is if you had to write Fortran IV using an IBM 32xx terminal you wouldn't be quite so hyperbolic about modern Python.

Unless you are claiming you would rather return to writing Fortran IV than use Python because you like Fortran IV better, in which case I'm very confused.
Here's the problem: If I took what you just stated and replaced "excluded male" with "African American" it would make just as much sense and be a societal force going back hundreds of years. Yet there's a segment of society that claims that racial equality is already achieved and the African American community is solely responsible for its own problems. In fact, this is often the same segment that complains loudly about how society excludes males. This is why it's hard to take the "excluded male" argument seriously sometimes.
> I drink male tears” coffee mugs as sipped by journalists at global media publications* look particularly dangerous and distasteful in this age of mass shootings

If someone commits a mass shooting I don’t think it’s the text on a mug that’s responsible.
Perhaps. But was it wrong? Like, the women’s march when trump was elected. Many many people. Lots of them genuinely angry. Was it a serious protest... ehhh maybe?
Sex is at the foundation of Maslow's pyramid of human needs, alongside breathing, feeding or rest.

Oh, I don't know. My heart is racing at the excitement of traveling to the Off-World Colonies, it's practically bursting out of my chest. At least I think that's my heart.
> they are still, well,correct. It'd be more precise to say "rich straight white...", but the sentiment is true.

Well, no. The sentiment is that men are generally more privileged and hold positions of power, and that each and every man is responsible for the state of things, stemming from toxic masculinity or whatever else. The fact that some 0.1% of the world's population holds the majority of political, economic and social power in the world is quickly ignored and somehow excuses sexism against men as a whole. I've been in enough arguments with feminists to see plain old sexism/misandry at play. These aren't people who want equality, these are people who want to punish men for being a particular gender and don't care about whatever issues or problems men might have.

> concession to suspend the bill

Suspending the bill with the implication of rushing it through when the protests have ended is not a concession, merely a move achieve PRC goals more quietly. Protesters have recognized and called it out as such. The fact that you don't seem to know that makes your statements suspect.
OK, I'll try to be more coherent.

It seems these days that the word 'violence' has been re-defined such that it no longer requires there to be any abusive physical contact between the perpetrator and the victim. As such, merely using words that may cause an individual some emotional discomfort is considered an act of violence.

I don't agree with that definition, and for me abusive physical contact is the defining characteristic of violence. But if that's the general consensus now then that's what I'll use. We can't have a debate if we're all speaking a different language.

Given that 'violence' no longer requires any physical contact, one could make the argument that some of the activities that ER have engaged in could be considered violent. The many ER road-blocks have very real consequences for all the people who are unable to go about their daily lives without being disrupted. When ER blocks a bus full of people in traffic, it's distinctly possible that those people were on their way to job interviews, doctors appointments, meetings with long-lost relatives, charity fundrasiers or any number of other things. This kind of disruption might easily cause significant emotional distress, I would argue at least on par with the emotional distresss suffered by an individual being mis-gendered. So why should one be considered violence and the other not?

That's not even getting to the topic of Ambulances being caught up in ER road-blocks, which has been documented numerous times. ER even address that issue explicitly in their FAQ (https://rebellion.earth/the-truth/faqs/). They attempt to hand-wave this problem away by saying that ambulances can be re-directed away from the road-blocks. It hardly needs to be said that time is often a critical factor when an ambulance is transporting a patient to hospital. The additional time spent avoiding ER activists could easily be the difference between life and death. Is this not a form of violence?
Seems like 'Deep Learning' [0] might suit for your first type of book. For the second type of book, may I suggest 'The Book of Why' by Judea Pearl. It isn't focused specifically on deep learning, but it is focused philosophical and cross disciplinary applications of statistical techniques.

This is the real issue.

Personally, I've replaced many components on iPhones through the ages. Often the replacement parts I've ordered have been sub-standard and that was the risk I've accepted as I was purchasing from unknown sellers. Sometimes the parts have been on par with the original components and I've been very pleased with my purchase.

The right to repair should be protected. When I am no longer able to fix my own purchases then I no longer feel I own the device.

This is especially true given Apple present themselves as an environmentally conscious brand. Often people don't have the opportunity to get parts replaced by Apple directly, or they don't have the means. Ensuring there are options for everyone promotes reuse and recycling. Additionally it limits the extent that a given company can build in planned obsolescence.

However. My opinion is that in purchasing a second hand device I want to know which components are from the OEM. This is especially important for components that are not easily validated, i.e. the battery. I can then take the risk of price vs quality at face value.

I get the impression here that people are very vocal about one side or the other, but I feel there is a balance to be made.
I was a PHP hater before but in my last job, I had to rewrite a big chunk of code from PHP 5.x to 7.2. Actually quite liked it. I would happily work with PHP 7.2+ code in any day but still wouldn't start a new project in it.

Lol. Right. No big system has ever been built in an untyped or weakly typed language. Well, except just about every bit of software we all use everyday. But it does seem like some small startups can't get by without it.
I remember it was around the time the work started on porting to gtk3, maybe it wasn't tied directly into it but I remember it was xubuntu 16.04 that released really buggy thunar version that shouldn't have been released to LTS. I'd say that was a major oversight that xubuntu team had made.

Without guns it's hard to see how Hong Kong ends up free as Taiwan is. Like, seriously, what sequence of events gets us from here to there?

That's exactly what they're trying to do. In this case, they could have made the law such that any extradition would have to go through the HK legal system, and mainland China would have to present enough evidence for a HK judge to come to the conclusion that the person should be extradited by HK law. But they didn't as far as I have understood.

So by forcing this law, and forcefully silence the protesters it will be clear that they're not going for the 1 country, 2 systems; but rather 1 country, 2 systems except for ... until it's just 1 country.

I don't think so, no. It would need to be reactive to active damping, and as the article says, there aren't any onboard sensors, so if you push them they'll wobble like crazy.

As a white male living in North America, I've never felt the way you're describing. Consider that perhaps the point these sources are trying to make is a little more subtle than: "white man bad". On the other hand, read some accounts[1] of how ethnic minorities (even affluent ones) are treated every day. That's someone actually being treated as if the circumstances of their birth are an original sin.

I think it's important to separate the issue of what monads are/how they're used from the question when they should be used at all. While monads are very useful for working with various streams/sequences even in imperative languages, they are used in Haskell for what amounts for effects in pure-FP, and that use ("Primise" in the article) has a much better alternative in imperative languages. Arguably, it has a better alternative even in pure-FP languages (linear types).

Here's a recent talk I gave on the subject: https://youtu.be/r6P0_FDr53Q
Blaming the victims of mass shootings for antagonizing the shooter is never a good look. The reason you get "blasted" online is because the sentiment takes a broad brush and paints men awfully (ironic considering the "pointing to all men statement"); this fatalistic (and frankly entitled) view that unless men are babied and served to at the exclusion of everyone else they'll turn violent and ruin the party for everyone.

If you want to assign systematic (and in some cases personal) blame I'd say look to the voices championing strongest for a back step of social progress for the "sake of men". Just from my own experiences in the southern US (poster child for the "follow an arcane set of rules and defend your "masculinity" and cash out on full ride entitlement") I've seen the systematic undermining of young men's skills and development in favor of baseless dreams of a past (that may have never existed). A handful of journalists taking the piss are nothing compared to the semi-coordinated movement looking to weaponize a vulnerable (by their own making) segment of the population.

Sympathy for the lonely, education for the unskilled, exposure for the unsocialized; these are all good ideas to move forward. Just, imo, never fall into the trap of assuming any of this is "natural" and something to be accepted (or even embraced).
"Man in the middle" is not only an established concept it also is self-explanatory.

You’re definitely reading something I didn’t write.

All I said is that this is a large state space, which has been largely unexplored. The reason it’s largely unexplored is because most of the state space is useless, inert garbage. The amount of time it takes to create a genome this large is proportional to the size of the genome, not the size of the state space. That’s how evolution by natural selection works. If you hypothesized a world without evolution, where things appeared completely by chance arrangement of molecules, that’s when the size of the state space becomes important.

So I would say that your argument is not an argument against molecular evolution, it is an argument against something else.
There are drawbacks to every option. Given the choice between a surveillance state and a propaganda state, I will always choose the latter - at least you get some agency over what media you consume and which statements you believe. Surveillance is forced on you, and invisibly at that.

As someone with a tendency towards writing my own custom solutions (from scratch or forked), I'm learning the hard way why people prefer depending on premade packages: they're usually better documented, better tested (both written tests and real-life battle-tested), and in a team/collaborative environment, having some canonical packages that everyone is familiar with helps to have common understanding, rather than having to explain how a one-off custom solution works.
PHPStan is a great tool. In addition to PHPStan, I also use phpnsc (name space checker) to check for missing use statements, php-cs-fixer (code style fixer) to ensure the code adheres to my code style, phpcpd (copy paste detector) to detect duplicate code, and phpmd (mess detector) to find potential problems in the code. These are all set up in my CI pipeline so that my app will fail to build if any of these 5 tools detect a problem. It has saved me from deploying buggy code several times.
