"Freedom of speech" is a universal principle that is also crystallized in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution with respect to government suppression of private speech.

It's also important that the principle be applied in private interactions, weighing other considerations. Of course, a political diatribe at a funeral is a poor choice. But there need to be places for well intentioned and civil people to come together and discuss things, even if ignorance is spouted of from time to time. If we're all humble, we'll all understand we're each ignorant in our own way and have a little grace to let each other be wrong, annoying, and even circumstantially negative from time to time.

Yes, freedom of association is important and conflicts with freedom of speech sometimes. But deciding to shun people also has repercussions. We have to consider all the repercussions of all of our actions.
As a former Mozilla distinguished engineer --- your comment is insulting, totally wrong and betrays your ignorance.

Not even Brendan's worst enemies have ever accused him of being a moron.

Brendan was a leading figure at Mozilla since the very beginning of the project. Everyone very well knew who he was.

I didn't agree with all of Brendan's decisions. For example I think we should have prioritized process separation higher than we did, and Brendan was partly responsible for deprioritizing that, which I viewed as a serious mistake. But Brendan made a lot more good decisions than bad ones and from that point of view, everyone I know was confident in him as CEO.

Engineers certainly weren't looking for an "excuse to get rid of him". I assume executives and the board weren't either, or they wouldn't have made him CEO just before the controversy exploded.
People seem to hate Haskell because it's not [popular-language-that-they-use]. To think that Haskell is used, liked, and works, seems to upset people who don't like, use, or understand Haskell. Or, so it seems.
Yes, this. Neither students nor teachers are well served by this grossly
inefficient enterprise that wears young faculty so thin that it effectively

themselves with the help of AI feedback systems.

Isn't that just saying machine learning is incapable of producing novel discoveries that would have been difficult for humans? Because it has already succeeded in that area.

The problem with fake news is that it takes advantage of a lack of knowledge surrounding the presented facts. Which is to say, if you aren't feeding that background knowledge to the ML engine from the start, it's fooled just like we are.
I had written a long response to your various points, but this seems to get to the crux of the matter:

> It's circular if we assume the form of the expansion...

Yes.

> ...If the real form influences our measurements, and we use that to figure out what telescopes would show...

In what way is that not exactly the sort of circularity that we just agreed about above, given that the real form is the issue to be decided?
Long term reliability metrics can only be gathered for technologies that have already been deployed in the long term. That’s why many mission critical applications like this one use “obsolete” technologies.
Most likely that would be what they use due to its security. It's what most of the air force has transitioned to for backups and transferring data in classified and unclassified environments alike.

In fairness, we could be in the List monad here, and this would effectively be a list comprehension rather than an imperative program. Even if we are in IO, `getPrices` and `book` may never execute --- even `finishDeal` may never execute! --- depending on non-local details that aren't shown here.

The code certainly "looks imperative" but it's still a declarative program --- the semantics are rather different from what a typical "imperative programmer" would expect.
I don't know your specific situation but I followed an LPR's process to get the green card and it involved a rigorous health exam, including vision, thorax, immunology, vaccines and who knows what else.

The price was in the hundreds of dollars in a somewhat poor country.

It's speculated that STDs are also tested, but as I wrote, he never saw the test results.

You didn't give any examples. You gave a barely incoherent, poorly spelled, rambling word-salad stream of consciousness spiel about "hispanic supremacists" and white genocide and Orwellian THOUGHT CRIME and Zuckerberg and China and the Second Amendment and how California Liberals are literally socialist Hitler.

>Your failure to address any of the many examples I gave demonstrates exactly what I said, that California liberals are not interested in logic and information.

I've never been to California in my life.

You miss the argument.

The question isn't whether people should have the freedom to disassociate. I haven't seen anyone argue otherwise. The question is whether it's wise or beneficial to use that freedom in this way.
When you're sorting, you're generally comparing two variables to each other, as opposed to comparing one variable to a literal constant.

I’d say it’s not really different than other dynamic languages in that you can get those runtime errors. Initially I got lots of those but after getting a bit of experience I hardly get them anymore aside from initial kinks after refactoring.

Maybe try VS Code with the Elixir LS plugin. It runs dialyzer automatically and highlights errors which also catches a ton of those runtime type issues. It’s pretty nice, often more expressive than standard typed languages.
> what does that do? Is it supposed to replace the line where he curls those files to github

No, it is for synchronization. See the article sections titled 'SSH: Move Your SSH Config File Into a Synced Folder' and 'Extra Credit'.

> So you have a gitignore that says "ignore everything except these three files" -- what does that do?

My gitignore is upwards of 100 files, but allows me to track changes and synchronize configurations across hosts, which I do often as I often work in short-lived graphical VMs and across multiple hosts. Using a whitelist of tracked files means 'git status' wont take seconds/minutes to scan the entire directory tree under my homedir which seemed to be the case when using a blacklist when I initially configured it.

> Isn't it awkward having all your other git repos in your home dir be under that git repo?

It breaks stuff like `git add -A` which I haven't fully solved, but don't really feel the need to - most of my commits are 2-3 files at most and I'd prefer to be aware of exactly what's being committed for the additional minor overhead.

There's other alternatives, like rsync, which solve entire tree synchronization but that's not what I'd normally like to do as my ultraportable has a 128gb SSD and my daily driver is a 2TB laptop. I'd be open to hear other suggestions, but at this point git is a convenient and flexible solution that works well in my environment :)

I hope the rest of the mods quit too. Stack Overflow deserves to become a cautionary tale about non-technical people inserting themselves into technical projects and asserting that their officious control-freak nonsense is more important than the actual project.
I'm not talking about our own light cone. I'm talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

Basically, ignoring wormholes and black holes and assuming that spacetime is locally flat everywhere and it's mathematically a manifold, my question is: what's the shape of the (global) universe?

Global as opposed to observable. So we might have a hard time answering that question. How would you be able to distinguish between the (n-dimensional equivalent of) a torus vs a flat infinite space, if you can't see the repetition?

You'd even have a hard time distinguishing a hypersphere from a flat infinite space, if the hypesphere was big enough so that we can't tell it's curvature apart from no curvature.

Or the universe might be weirdly shaped, and we just happen to live in the flat part.

So I guess the question comes down to:

* assuming no edges
* assume Copernicus at least for space (we might have a special position in time)
* What's the simplest theory about the shape of the global universe that satisfies our observations?

I suspect general relativity toys around with such questions, because I know that they sometimes look at cosmological (toy) models for the whole universe, and not just what's in the light cone of one particular observer.
I once took a flight from Dallas to Sydney that had to stop in Brisbane for more fuel (due to winds or something it didn't have enough fuel to get to Sydney). That was probably about 20 hours in total.
I think this idea that "free speech" means that you're not allowed to criticize or take actions based on the speech of others is a bigger problem. This idea that "free speech" makes you immune to consequences is somehow believed by a huge number of people who are otherwise well-educated. But the position seems to me to be impossible to support. It's just completely logically inconsistent.

How can defenders of "free speech" say that it's ok for them to say whatever they want, but it's unfair for other people to respond to them? This is a tactic especially favored by the alt-right. They claim they're being censored and appeal to "free speech" the instant someone calls out poor behavior, and then turn around and organize massive harassment campaigns against people who say things they don't like.

The position is logically inconsistent, but they've found that just saying "free speech" makes people want to defend both of their actions. It's a wonderful exploit targeting people who have been ingrained to enthusiastically defend people saying "free speech", regardless of whether or not what they're actually doing resembles respecting the rights of as many people as possible to speak.

I'd like to point out one more thing. This isn't censorship. This is what the real free market of ideas looks like. You say things that people find vile, and the market judges your ideas to be harmful and best avoided. That's how it's supposed to work.
I don't know, if one is picking a single issue to use as a litmus test, sex trafficking of minors seems like the issue to do it with. Even if you believe that RMS's statements on that issue were taken out of context, his statements on that were callous, did not take into account the perspective of those who were suffering real harms, and were ill-timed in that they seemed to put RMS (in his position as one of the senior faculty at MIT) on the side of not understanding the real harms that had been done to MIT and people there. There is more to leadership than being technically correct (if he was even that), there is a degree of empathy and compassion to those you are leading that is expected of you. He failed that test of leadership at MIT so thoroughly that it called into serious question his ability to provide leadership at any other institution as well. In the face of that, he quite correctly resigned, and I think it's fair to applaud him in that narrow instance for making the right decision for the causes he has championed for so long, while being disappointed that he allowed it to get to the point where that was the correct decision.
They explicitly said solid state. I suspect they are trying to future-proof their tech stack somewhat to ensure reliable sourcing.

Why are you solely blaming the companies? Are the government officials doing their jobs? If the government officials are being corrupt by accepting lobbying money and helping the corporations; they are as much (if not more) to blame for the situation as "for-profit companies". At least, for-profit companies exist to make a profit. The government, on the other hand, exists to defend the citizens.
But then the taxation service can find out that you have lowered your profit to pay less taxes. So what's good in immutability?
That's interesting. I've always suspected that "curing" something as fundamental as aging would change some basic aspect of what makes us human.

> I do not see how differing telescopes have anything to do with the issue.

How our telescope's observations would differ if they were placed in a different galaxy.

> it would have to be done without any tacit assumption about whether UEIS or UEOS applies

Yes! Now we're getting somewhere.

When you say "the argument is circular" that depends on all possible arguments using assumptions about UEIS/UEOS. I'm saying that you can make arguments that don't make assumptions about UEIS/UEOS. It's possible to make a circular or non-circular argument.

> In what way is that not exactly the sort of circularity that we just agreed about above, given that the real form is the issue to be decided?

Because I'm talking about measurements! You know, the same thing telescopes do. They measure. If you make measurements instead of assuming, then you don't have a circular argument.

> Mainly because you haven't said what measurements you think will substitute for Swebs' "the expansion appears to originate from wherever we are."

I don't have any in mind. I'm not saying there are any. I'm just saying that if the argument exists, it can be expressed in a non-circular form.

> point out the first statement in there that you disagree with

"We can deduce what it looks like from distant galaxies, if and only if we make some assumptions about the dynamics of the universe"

If "some assumptions about the dynamics" is supposed to include UEIS/UEOS assumptions, then this is where I disagree. We do not necessarily have to make those assumptions to make those deductions. You have not given any proof that all possible ways to deduce what it looks like will require those assumptions. We may be able to remove all of those assumptions with the right local measurements. Then we would have a non-circular argument.
I once sat at a bar next to a drunk guy who told me he was a Boeing engineer. He proceeded to describe to me how jet engines work, one limitation of common designs, and a way to work around it. I didn’t understand any of it. I got the impression he was very interested in his work and didn’t have people he could discuss this stuff with.

He then told me about a limitation with the SR-71 Blackbird (Apparently the panels of the body expand at high speed, so they have to be designed in a way where they have gaps and are leaky on the ground, until they reach sufficient speed.)

He said solving this problem would be a big deal. Then he wrote the word, “Aurora” on a napkin and immediately crumpled it.
