The newspapers in the 60’s didn’t pretend that 100% of the population was behind the civil rights movement. When racist politicians spoke, they got their platform. People could read, and decide for themselves.

If an elected official wants to publish a racist diatribe, the press should circulate it as widely as possible. Informed voters make for a stronger democracy.

Burying the editorial because it would offend their readers just improves the racist’s chances of being reelected.
I don't speak or read Greek, but I do want to note that this counterexample does not prove there is no "huh"-like repair initiator in Greek.

In American English, there is "Eh?" "Huh?" and "Eh?" are similar in function but sound different.
Perhaps not racist but the origin is quite horrifying

According to Hong-Yee Chiu, an astrophysicist at NASA, the Black Hole of Calcutta was the inspiration for the term black hole referring to regions of space-time resulting from the gravitational collapse of very heavy stars. He recalled hearing physicist Robert Dicke in the early 1960s compare such gravitationally collapsed objects to the prison

This is another clear example of 20th century scale.

They made everything "so big", that they have to fill the pipeline with inferior products/drivel just to keep it at capacity.

21st century scale doesn't suffer from the same weakness, but that should come as no surprise.
It is an anaesthetic, used particularly for children (at least in the UK).
(I have no opposition to replacing master-slave, this is not intended as bait - I'm curious what others think).

How about "robot?" From "Broken Metaphor: The Master-Slave Analogy in Technical Literature" [1]:

> a new term meaning "slave" was entering the English language to describe an autonomous device meant to obey its master: "robot," from the 1923 translation of Karel Cˇapek's 1921 play R.U.R. (the word robot having been derived from a Czech word for slave, "robotnik").

If 'robot' isn't problematic, why is that? Is it because because the word is more decoupled from its origin than 'slave,' or because the origin of the word is less well known? Or is the negative-ness lost in translation?

There is nothing egregious about the article and if anything, paints dang and the other moderator in a better light than I had observed myself from their actions. Case in point flagging this article as a dupe to a flagged article despite its active commenting.

A well-designed abstraction makes optimal usage fall out naturally. It would be very difficult to make the claim that optimal usage "falls out naturally" when one uses Ansible, and yet another layer of abstraction on top would more likely than not just increase the already staggering complexity in the system.
Tip for life: human memory is essentially a solved problem. Spaced repetition Just Works (TM). Learn how to use Anki, read Michael Nielsen on Anki, read through the first essay of https://quantum.country (even if you don't intend ever actually learning any quantum computation) just to see what good spaced-repetition flashcards look like and how to convert a text into flashcards. You can memorise very nearly anything with Anki.

Edit to add: even if for some unaccountable reason you choose not to use Anki or one of its siblings, you must read and comprehend https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/articles/20ru... .
>No question about it. Mathematical notation is pure evil that should be cast into mount doom and then some.

This sort of juvenile over-the top hyperbole is getting pretty boring now. Can you present your criticisms like a normal person instead of calling technical things you don't like "terrible and evil"? Especicially when you say (imo) ridiculous statements like "maths is not hard, it's the notation that's hard".

Notation is, most of the time, trivial compared to the concepts they represent. Funny you should give "matmul(a,b)" as an example, that would be a pretty atrocious way to write mathematics. Imagine writing "equals( matmul(S,matmul(A,inv(S))) , A)" rather than "SAS⁻¹ = A". Which do you think most clearly represents the concept at hand? The "overloading" that you complain so much about, it actually illuminates the fact that the underlying concept of "scalarmul(a,b)" and "matmul(A,B)" is the same. Going even one step further, Einstein notation: a development purely of notation, that makes dealing with tensor algebra a million times more clear.

I swear I don't understand this line of reasoning.

EDIT: I'll go out on a limb here: you're a programmer, not a mathematician, so you tend to look at these things from the prism of a programmer, not a mathematician. When all you have is a hammer...
People with type O blood less likely to get Covid-19
If you have type O blood then you’re very less likely to suffer from severe Coronavirus symptoms. A recent report by 23andMe suggests that people with type O blood are slightly less likely to get COVID-19. This research is not peer-reviewed and the study has not been posted in any journal yet but they believe that the study is very accurate.

The CEO of the company, Anne Wojcicki discussed that they were curious about how the coronavirus affects the patients with different blood groups. During the interview, she revealed that she and a few other companies decided to take a survey and reach out to coronavirus-affected patients. The survey received responses from approx. 750,000 people from across the country. The analysis of the data showed that people with O type blood were between 9-18% less likely to get coronavirus as compared to people with other blood type groups.

There weren’t any other blood-type difference and the majority of the people suffering from the same symptoms. 23andMe has done quite a lot of research in the past and conducted many different types of surveys regarding the human body and its immune system.

Appdating was already very popular in the gay scene, so i don't think it only works for straight women under 35..

Furthermore, I think that these apps mostly reflect reality.
In the offline world fat people would have a hard time finding dates too. Don't you think?
Spanish equivalent I think it would be more like "hmm".

"Eh" in Spanish exists but is more to call for attention, kind of like "ahoy" http://udep.edu.pe/castellanoactual/e-eh-y-he-2/
That’s the wonderful thing about drugs: they trigger the areas of the brain that normally signal an insight or epiphany, but without the hassle of having an actual epiphany. In reality you’re lying motionless on the floor for hours thinking nothing.
Excellent twitter breakdown from David Sinclair, PhD: https://twitter.com/davidasinclair/status/125991292869585715...

Some key points:

- The result is so literally incredible that even the first author, Prof. Steve Horvath, didn't believe it at first. I suggested he check if the rats were mixed up, but he assured me he checked their genomes. The rats weren't mixed up and the data is the data.

- Accumulation of fat in old tissues was greatly reduced. All health-related blood biomarkers they assessed (lipids, liver function, blood cells) "were altered towards the values of young rats, without exception."

- Level of oxidative stress, and (wait for it) senescent cells were reduced "by a very considerable degree". Presumably, the immune system cleared the senescent cells. This is what the field is looking for.
Help me understand what is wrong with that statement.

If he fishes there regularly and sees (what he believes) are immigrants dumping trash, then isn't that statement true? How do you what he saw? This seems like splitting hairs.

No, centrism is to also find areas of consensus and pursue them, however imperfect. For instance, criminal justice reform has made some progress recently. Gradual decriminalization of some recreational drugs as well.
So, our president literally said to use violence against protestors protesting bigotry.
When you find yourself being called a bigot and white supremacist repeatedly, its probably not "the left" that's the problem.
Agree, it all comes down to whether offering remote options is considered "reasonable accomodations". This would probably be considered reasonable if the company has the infrastructure or could easily afford it. Small companies may not be required to provide this option if they don't have the infrastructure and can't easily afford it.
You somehow find out what is really important to you and what is not and see that really clearly.

That is what happened to me after a couple of experiences. And I acted on it and I am not sad about it. Now, I don't do it that often. But if you choose to do ketamine, you are in for a ride.
Have you even read any of the other articles he has written? He really is one of the best journalists of this current era, he is truth-seeking instead of motivated by dogma.
You mean, "website with native API's and (optionally) custom native chrome".

These are great; I second this. I can’t wait for the Model 100.
What if all Smalltalk objects had an URL? It could provide simple (and complex) network services to any computer on the Internet. There is a profound lack of ambition around software and Operating Systems.
Enough of anything can permanently switch off the brain.

I really wish scientific reporters would at least attempt to use meaningful language in their headlines.
I’m asking if you could please share links to the information you saw about about the widespread subscription cancellations that you referred to.
Hahaha, it's true that Rust compile times are slower than its main competitors, due to the amount of work the compiler does. It's the same with Scala: even if some abstractions in both languages are zero- or low-cost during runtime, they still slow down compile times.

In any case, as a Scala dev, I wish the compile times were as short as in Rust!
Each link in this lineage is tenuous. Objective-C took Smalltalk's call syntax, its class def (in a sense?), and its late fn binding, but little else. It certainly didn't take what made Smalltalk, Smalltalk. Full disclosure: I really like both languages.

I struggle to find the mapping between Objective-C and Swift, other than "same company" and must preserve backwards compatibility.

Smalltalk became Squeak. Long live Squeak. :)
Racism, xenophobia, healthcare, transphobia, authoritarianism, income inequality, workers rights. Just to name a few.
For a completely different perspective on this advice (the advice given here is the consensus view on how to build wealth) read "Unscripted" or "The Millionaire Fastlane" by MJ Demarco.
> Anyone who chooses to be offended by words used in a totally different context is doing exactly that - choosing to be offended

This argument seems like it could be used to absolve anyone of guilt for using racist terms. "I'm not racist, that person chose to be offended by my statement".

> No one really cares about these terms

Seemingly people do care about these terms because we're having this discussion. In our white-dominated industry I would bet many don't, but why not make an effort to make the terminology we use more inclusive.

> their opinion shouldn't outweigh the time, effort required to fix it, or the opinions of everyone else

I don't think people are expecting open source maintainers to drop everything to fix these terms. In some cases it will be unfeasible and they could just say that.
Concur. Standard IV dose in humans for general anesthesia is 0.5-1.0 mg/kg. (I'm a retired neurosurgical anesthesiologist who used ketamine for GA in around 500 patients over 38 years, and smaller IV/IM doses in perhaps 1,000 more individuals)
Would it have any therapeutic effect for people convicted of violent crimes? Even white collar crimes like embezzlement?

Obviously they’d have to volunteer for something like that but it’d be interesting to see if it changes them for he better or worse...
There's no such thing as "learning mathematical notation". You learn whatever field you are interested in, and the text you are reading will tell you what the notation is, as "we'll denote multiplication of `a` and `b` by `ab`", "we'll denote `A` implies `B` by `A => B`", "we'll denote derivation of `f` wrt `x` with `df/dx`", etc.
KiCAD is awesome. That, along with cheap pcb prototyping, has gotten me into designing boards as a hobby.
Is this same/similar to DMT?
Have class-D amplifiers changed much since that time period?
You're definitely thinking something, even if it is something banal made salient by the drugs.
I have a helix board and it’s nice to have a programmable layout but the ergonomics aren’t great because I haven’t found a good way to tent it.

I’m considering a kinesis advantage 2 but at 400 eur + import taxes (I’m in Switzerland), it’s a fair sum to put in a keyboard I won’t be able to return.

Why do you say the weight was a problem? Doesn’t it stay in your desk and doesn’t move around at all? Anything else you think is worth knowing about the keyboard?
For those in the comments that haven't read the article, I highly recommend you check it out. While the comments are talking about the survival of news media and "tone-deaf" titles, the bulk of the article is about the Overton window[1] shifting to the point where rigerous journalism questioning outrages of the time is becoming untenable, weakening the news overall. It's a very good read.

It is indeed a horse tranquilizer; it works across species, in cats, dogs, humans, and probably myriad others.
I think you need to be really careful with that.
And - surprisingly enough, the "persecuted" conservatives on here are downvoting a differing opinion.

That's all this is - they just don't like the other opinions. Go back to reading the Daily Mail and that confirmation bias loop while accusing the left of the same thing. pathetic.
OO was the best programming paradigm until people recognized the power of concurrency. Even in the usecase of GUI programming, where OO is supposed to shine the brightest, OO is a failure because interactive programs are extremely concurrent. Even back then when everything was executed in serial GUI frameworks were designed concurrently in crummy languages never designed to support concurrent programming such as C. Or worse, C++.

And functional programming is no good as a general programming paradigm because:

1. Little of computing--almost nothing--is declarative. That means functional programming's non-general by definition.

2. Programming cannot be married to mathematics despite what formal proof proponents and people who think naming their language "Pascal" is a good idea think. It will always be an arranged and sham marriage.

3. Thinking being able to easily execute your declarative programs in parallel means you'll never have to think concurrently and can just outsource everything to Hadoop only means you can't understand the difference between parallelism and concurrency.
I was recently re-watching the old demo of 280 North's Atlas, an Interface Builder-inspired tool. And when I think about it, it also seems a little strange that object lovers and all today's disaffected Mac fans could pick up the pieces of GNUStep and start building out a usable replacement for themselves as a reaction against the deterioration and inevitable demise of the Mac, but that isn't materializing. There's something, I think, in the Mac developer psyche that says they're responsible for building their own discrete little apps and doing a lot of polishing on them, but they're completely uninvolved in shaping or otherwise working on the environment/platform itself. This is the difference between Mac folks and Smalltalkers.

What anciliary crime did they commit except copying IP? Lying on a visa application? It's very difficult to argue that this would be a grave moral crime.
Never did DMT, so can't really say. Sorry :) It is a highly personal experience, which is difficult to share with others though. I think it is similar in the sense, that you can't dismiss it. It is very real for you personally.

I am not a spiritual guy, you know? I think that makes it a bit hard to think about it. It didn't make my spiritual or anything or less grounded in my life.
I wrote "at least a significant minority", which includes majority views.

I was casting a wider net since I think minority views should be discussed, if for no other reason than they should be understood. Disagreeing with someone without even understanding their views is ignorant. Part of the benefit of current protests is catching people up on facts who were previously disengaged.

Tucker is partisan, and hence corrupted, so regardless of how wrong or right he is on any given issue he isn't someone who could step into the role of a widely-trusted journalist. Taibbi could.
So, what’s the point of something being a “system font” if it isn’t used for display by anything in the OS itself? Does some first-party app use them, e.g. GarageBand’s first-party VSTs? Or are they just there to provide you options for styling your own text in Pages et al? (And, if so, why not make them visible in the Text Styles OS modal in such apps, with them zero-installed on first selection? They’re nigh-undiscoverable as it is.)
> Those excuses are built on a revolting moral equivalence of rioters and looters to peaceful, law-abiding protesters. A majority who seek to protest peacefully shouldn’t be confused with bands of miscreants.
That’s a stretch. Carefully-controlled deletion with plausible deniability is a good thing.

It's good at being human-readable. It's basically json with indents and comments. What other configuration format is out there that allows for tree structure and it's easier on humans? (not XML or json).
