Right, this is not a freedom of speech issue because that has been long gone with cancel culture. This is a case of whether cancel culture applies internationally, which is difficult for an American corporation operating internationally. With Trump's decoupling and isolationism, more of these issues will come up under the guise of ideology or values, but which are not actually about these.
> Programming is also a fun activity in and of itself I get lots of enjoyment out of just like I get enjoyment from those other things. That fact that I do it at work as ZERO influence on my enjoyment of it

I think that's totally awesome =]

However in the post itself, the reasons listed for doing a side project include making money and learning new skills. One of those things is literally the thing that defines work, and the other is something that many would assume is for work.

I believe that's where this animosity towards the expectation of side projects comes from. If you want to do it and would do it without any benefits to your career, then definitely it is purely fun and in the same class as meditation or hanging out with friends. However, if you argue that you should do it to make money, personally I would say that's no longer in the same class of things as hanging out with friends.

Indeed programming for the sake of learning and programming for the sake of enjoyment are two different things I'd say. It's like when people comment how it must be so relaxing to practice piano; no it's probably fun and relaxing to play but practicing is very boring and frustrating.
Here's the thing, all that other stuff you mentioned are things I can do with my family. Side projects aren't. I have trouble reading seriously now for the same reason; it is a solitary activity. But at least if I'm reading a book I can still pop out and participate in conversations; not so with programming.

The other important difference, and the reason there is always strong pushback when this topic comes up, is that many of us believe there is a subtext that people who spend a lot of time outside work on side projects are better employees. (I mean, it isn't even really subtext, it is in the text of the OP, and I've been reading the new edition of The Pragmatic Programmer, and it's in the text there as well.) If that view wins out (and in many circles it already has), then what you see as harmless, fun, and enriching side projects are actually a job requirement, one that is extremely hard for many of us to satisfy. So we (reasonably, I think!) push back on this view because we think we're good programmers and good employees without needing to spend our evenings doing solitary work away from our friends and families.
Yes, it's censorship. It's just censorship-by-proxy rather than censorship originating from their own personal stance. The Chinese government may be the root cause, but everyone involved is still complicit in the censorship, even of they're slightly less to blame. No one is forcing them to work with China, regardless of their economic best interests. (Stockholders demanding they make the most revenue possible isn't a valid defense.)
And that’s good. Self-service for your legal rights is important functionality.

At least in SV, the older people are much, much more active in local politics, probably because they're not busy with a job/kids. When I was on a sabbatical/funemployed, I used to go to city council meetings pretty frequently, especially for meetings discussing one of these anti-development laws that are currently on the books, and it would be like 3-6 of us on the pro-development side, typically skewing on the younger side (though there were some exceptional older homeowners who would argue for our side), and then 50+ retirees on the anti-development side.

In the example I'm thinking of, it was a meeting about a law that was due to expire that limited new development to 5 stories, and effectively limited average height to 3-4 stories due to floor area ratios, and simultaneously put strict limits on the number of housing units you could build per acre. Mind you, this expiration would affect just the dense downtown core around the train station, not the vast majority of the city, which is zoned single family. They still hated the idea, it'd cause too much traffic. One lady gave an impassioned speech about how the drive to their second home in Tahoe, which used to take 4 hours now took 6-8 on Friday due to traffic. This came right after a speech from someone who was about to lose their primary residence due to rent spiking. I don't know how she was able bring herself to follow that, but she certainly tried.
It's the (mostly white) trolls that ruin these things but you blame the people trying to salvage something.

Dunno what you talk about with "race", the problem with racism is race is a flawed concept. The arguments' premisses might be true nevertheless despite drawing invalid conclusions. But they might be one sided on both sides, while those with the real motives just don't participate in these discussions
Gnat? That would be impressive. How about a single cell. Or even a single protein. Can't even get it to fold right in simulations.
Did anyone else genuinely laugh out loud while reading this? It's so devoid of useful information (we don't know how this happened or at least won't tell you, and we don't know who is affected or how many people are affected) other than "it was an accident". It's just so ridiculous.

I do believe them that they don't know who was affected and that this probably wasn't approved by the top brass (in that sense being a kind of accident), but that doesn't speak well to their technical or legal competence.
I think the poster above is arguing that dialogs like "this app needs permissions, deny or allow" are effectively giving root-level system access for all intents and purposes, for almost all users -- exactly because users have no basis on which to make that decision and saying "deny" probably prevents the app from doing what it was the user wanted it to do.

So users almost always click "allow". What's the point of the dialog then?

Really, the dialog should be explicit about what's needed and why it's needed and what click "allow" does (i.e., always allow this action, for this purpose? Or always allow any root-level action from this app? Or something else?)

Only then will users actually be able to make a decision beyond "do I trust Microsoft and do I want to do this thing I just asked Word to do?"
There's a difference between "discrimination" as in "consideration based on a particular class or category, such as gender, race, sexual identity, etc", and "discrimination" as in "acting upon unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions". The former is distinguishing differences, the latter is using them in a prejudicial way.

Political speech they agree with.

We crossed these sorts of lines long ago but it was political speech they disagreed with then, so it's only bad now. If everyone had been more inclined to defend peoples right to views they don't agree with then we wouldn't be here now.

DIY Air Purifier
I have to agree. I haven't found major improvements in projects/life goals via higher quantities of data capture, but I have found them through better-tuned filters, queuing and signalling.

With respect to stuckness, I have a kind of rule of thumb for everything creative now, which I can phrase as "underachieve twice over". The first time I capture somewhat less than the essentials of the thing I want to address, but require at least one; the second time(third, fourth, etc.) I plow forward and build another iteration on that, adding more of the requirements.

It's not different from estimation or calibration in any other sense, it's just that there is an element of following through on a bulk of knowable, ordinary work in order to collect the important data, instead of sitting there perplexed and avoidant when I don't instantly understand the whole of it.
I actually thought the White/Black PeopleReddits were supposed to be some degree of comedy or trolling. At least that’s the impression I got from posts that would hit the front page.

The fact that historically that actually was the case but now it’s turned literally into Black People’s Reddit is I guess life imitating art?

I have no problem whatsoever with exclusive social clubs of any kind, as long as they are not promoting hate speech. The problem is they tend to devolve into “hating the outgroup” clubs.

My employer allows it. Benefits other than health insurance (which is fully paid w/o any paycheck deduction) will be pro-rated to whatever you sign up for, but you can still work the extra hours for more pay. So for example if you promise 30 hours but work 36 hours, you'd get 75% benefits and 90% pay. If you promise 32 hours and work 50 hours, you'd get 80% benefits and 125% pay.

Look at the other article on the front page about air pollution. We’ve actually made tremendous progress reducing sulfur dioxide emissions from coal in the last decade. To damages from air quality problems in the US are down 20% overall, which is a economic savings of $1.6 trillion per decade.

The waste stream from solar is a real question. The video posted in the other reply brings it up as well. We definitely need panels that are designed for extremely long service and recyclable end of life. I do think the battery tech is evolving extremely rapidly and dovetails with EVs so that will help keep renewables competitive even as total overall renewable supply share increases.

My favorite are the dialogs whose only options are "Do the thing we want" or "Learn more about the thing we want" with no option to dismiss. Slightly less terrible are the daily dialogs that give the options "Do the thing we want" or "Bug me tomorrow". More and more, Apple devs seem to have contempt for the idea that the user should be in control.

They haven't quite descended to Microsoft levels of "We're restarting your computer now kthxbye", but it's a grim, user hostile path they're on, at least with notifications.
If all of 10.14 were tracking it there probably wouldn't be much issue, but i'll bet the average MacOS user doesn't have more than 5 startups apps that would show this dialogue; that combined with this happening exactly once during the upgrade process means it's not a big priority for Apple to address.
It's completely broken here as well, which was really frustrating. I already wasted 117 days of a yearly subscription on one machine because it ran Catalina Beta (which was my fault, I needed a test machine, and I ate the time lost without complaint), but not being able to inherit that back up really sucked afterwards.
It's a terrible frame, for sure.

Having said that ... there is something to be said about how hyper-wealthy oligarchies emerge in basically any type of government you can imagine. The question becomes one of how to properly order them for the good of society so that they don't end up blowing up the entire structure - and everyone else with it - that made them in the first place.
Pretty much. Ads tell me that something exists. I don't entirely reject products whose ads I happen to see, but I do rate them inversely proportional to the scope of their claims.

And it's not just obvious ads. You can't trust online customer reviews, because there's an industry devoted to spamming them, both positively and negatively.

And you can't trust third-party reviews, because they're often disguised press releases. Or biased by payment. For example, I've been told that many sites that review VPN services basically auction their rating slots.

I don’t actually think that work is boring at all. Moreover I think it behooves us all to change the prevailing attitude and perception of this type of work; it can be quite technically complex and it is very impactful both to the business as well as more importantly on the moral/ethical front.

I am biased of course as I work on various aspects of GDPR compliance, data retention and deletion, encryption compliance, etc. I used to think this stuff was really boring compared to high scalability, graphics, schedulers etc. (all of which I have worked on in past lives); lately I think it is both interesting and crucially important hence my comment.
Side project is still a continuation of what you do for 8 hours everyday. Other activities are not. If your job was to hike everyday and then someone proposed side-hiking when you are back from your main hiking activity, I'm sure you would say "I'd rather just spend some time writing code".
So, the only way to salvage something is to assume white people must be trolling, unless they write the right things about their 'white privilege' to the mod team? That's quite insane. This is the sort of stuff you get when people start treating "racism", "prejudice", etc. as pure thought-terminating cliches, with no real understanding of what these terms actually mean. We knew that this was going on somehow, but I don't think we've been aware of just how ingrained this has become.
How would that address the problem? Salts don't make hashes any less reversible.

Australia's coal friendly policies > the preservation of a unique ecosystem.

Not many people would oppose the opinion that we should protect the earth and yet human society has grown so complex, driven by market forces and global economy, that if governments do not take action, private enterprise sure as hell wouldn't. Selfishness of individuals triumph over long term global cause.

I am sad. Humans have achieved so much and yet there are large areas of neglect, abuse, misuse and misconduct. I have a strong feeling that if we go to mars, people will still have issues. Tribal instincts will kick in and we'll fight over what color flag to put it up there.

Take over of humans by AGI sounds like a better future.
