It’s like the nuclear arms treaty. If one company doesn’t ban these accounts, it can gain all the users who subscribe to these people and benefit. All companies agree to potentially lose these users, so no one profits from doing the so called “wrong thing”.

Same thing with mask use in airlines. Some companies do not want to enforce mask use until all airlines do it, because they do not want customers opposed to masks leaving them for competitors that do not require masks on flights.
It's not just target platforms, it's also build flags; you could do the default for debug and release, but set any sort of custom option and you're back to square 1.

We would also need to pay for the cost and such of building, hosting, and distributing all of that...

There are other middle grounds too. There's certainly interest, it's just not trivial. If it was, we'd do it!
I think precision is important in this context, because people have a bad habit of using terms like "white supremacist" as generic insults against any right-wing figure. Being imprecise diminishes the force of the arguments against Molyneux, who really has made explicit claims that white people are better than everyone else.
Soon to be found on Telegram I guess. Seem to be the only growing platform that does not ban opinions. Probably because they do not need to make advertisers happy.

Yup, he's bad folks
I gave up on Java when Oracle prematurely rolled JavaFX into the JDK and got rid of the dedicated bug tracker. I was using JavaFX a lot and frequently ran into bugs. I didn't mind the bugs because I thought the tech had a ton of potential, the JavaFX developers were really good, and it was easy to get things fixed.

However, as soon as they rolled JavaFX into the JDK I knew it would be a nightmare for me. Without author status in JBS you're relegated to being a second class citizen who has to submit bugs though the poor door (bugs.java.com) and JavaFX fixes couldn't be pushed out as quickly because of being tied to the JDK.

That was after years of broken promises about mobile which didn't help. They were also claiming to make massive investments in JavaFX, but if you HG churned the repo there were only a few developers doing all the work.

It's too bad because I really liked JavaFX. It was nice to develop with and I'm convinced that Oracle's mismanagement is the primary reason it wasn't more successful.
Sure but you could say the same of woodworking videos, marble racing videos, or any niche topic.

This is not a surprising outcome; it is totally expected.
> Dev tools for Windows and iOS/ MacOs are fairly straight forward.

Can't speak much for Windows, but the Apple dev story is pretty good. Platform SDKs are deep and capable, if sometimes not well documented, and there's a clear "right" way to do most things. One can build a "world class" app with nothing but Swift+UIKit and few or no third party libraries. SwiftUI is rapidly improving this too, bringing a fully native "modern" reactive approach that works across all Apple OSes.

Xcode can be a cantankerous beast at times but it's been getting a lot better in recent releases.

> Not sure about Android, since my burning hatred of Java has removed my desire to mess with that platform entirely. (I know Kotlin exists, still not interested)

It's slowly improving but still very much a mess. Jetpack Compose looks to be poising itself as the SwiftUI of Android and that will no doubt improve things, but I have doubts that Android development will ever be as nice as iOS development is.

Coordination doesn’t mean collusion, there are plenty of reasons why to coordinate such as to avoid platform hopping and not having to deal with a bunch of angry people flocking to your platform and to share the news cycle.

The likelihood of high profile bans like these not being coordinated is slim.

I believe the grandparent is talking about second strike capability. The idea is to have enough that the enemy can't destroy it all before you have a chance to react. It is possible that one is enough or it maybe that ten is far from adequate. It depends on your threat model.

Not that any of this matters if our threat model includes an enemy who doesn't care if they get annihilated in the reprisal.

Disclaimer: I don't know about any of these things and they are just guesses.

Ruby: x.is_a? Integer

PHP: is_int($x) (alias of is_integer)

Python: isinstance(x, int)

Node.js[1]:

typeof val === "number" &&

Math.floor(val) === val

I think all supported Node.js versions now have Number.isInteger (via es262), but the is-integer package still gets a 200_000 downloads a week[2].

I can't blame them, GitLab's CI integration is great. Take a look at it:

For general web forums, I would personally like to see personal SSL certificates required to create an account. That would at least weed out people creating multiple accounts. As for cases where anonymity is required, there could be other information that balances out missing info on the certificate. For example one field would be how much they paid for the cert (assuming the CA has variable pricing). So someone could for example pay $20 for an anonymous certificate (just a certificate number and pseudonym, possibly an anonymous email), yet it would be cost prohibitive to get unlimited number of certs to create fake accounts.

Also, along with personal SSL certs, it would be nice to have a system to keep track of a person's reputation score across multiple forums.
Honest to goodness, it’s a marketing and advertising initiative. I do think some of the subreddits that are being banned deserve it for violating Reddit site wide rules and refusing to stop, among other things. However, Reddit took on the identity of being free speech oriented early on and gradually eroded it over time, and every time they ban a few bad big subs that are indefensible, they usually coincide bans to a large number of other smaller subreddits that are almost ostensibly somehow adjacent but are not really violating any rules in the same fashion. I think this is intentional, because most of the people who would be annoyed by the collateral damage are celebrating because of the headlining bans. This creates quite a conundrum. Maybe this ban wave is truly different, but it would take me by surprise if so. (I didn’t look into exactly what subs were banned yet.)

At this point it feels like Reddit saves the big important bans specifically so they can be announced in ban waves, because by the time they happen the response is always, “how in the world did this take over a year to be done?”

edit: to my point it looks like they banned over 2000 subs this time. I doubt that list hadn’t been growing over time. I checked out one that was apparently for a podcast and the little bit I could view on Wayback Machine looked pretty damn ordinary, with only mildly edgy jokes. Not immediately casting doubt that there is good reason but it sure feels like every other ban wave I’ve seen from Reddit.
People get regularly banned for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and many other kinds of hate, whether their profiles say 'D' or 'R' or something else. If many of their profiles tend to say 'R' or otherwise have similar political views, that's not an indication of bias on the part of platforms.
When you automate slow moving machineries and it picks up your finger, that kind of situations may present quite inconvenient results, so,

YouTube isn't controlled by an authoritarian fascist-like government - it is run by the fascist-lite corporate oligarchy which runs the US. The US may not be as bad as china in some ways but that doesn't absolve them from responsibility.
I guess you haven’t been watching much TV during Obama’s time in the White House. The GOP post-policy strategy is just about opposing and nothing else.

> Their whole personalities seemed built around it, and next I hear they've moved several hours away to a rural area—not even just the 'burbs.

This is a common sentiment that I personally share. I am lucky to live in a dense city neighborhood with an amazing sense of community - stoop gatherings for drinks 5 evenings a week and kids doing chalk art and bicycling around, local teenagers to help out with babysitting, but also neighbors helping me move appliances, and me helping them with repairs and upgrades on their homes. It's like Amish barn-raising in the city.

But I have to say, that if I didn't have this, and my choice were suburbia or a mountain town ... the mountains win hands down.

> Conservatism has a place in society.

I wholeheartedly agree, and I've not heard of anyone calling to censor conservatives. Most or all of the people being de-listed are people who are breaking their platforms' terms of services. They might happen to be mostly conservative, but it seems like today it's mostly conservatives who are breaking the rules and calling for violence, doxxing people, etc. Reddit just kicked out some leftist groups for doing the same stuff, as was appropriate.

> I'm a free market capitalist

"...except when I disagree with it."
Sometimes I wonder if there are better solutions rather than bans. Banning sounds like sweeping the dirt under the rug. I am afraid haters might concentrate in underground social networks, away from the spotlights, creating a "us and them" situation.

Hey Dmitry!

Good to meet you -- I'm a big fan of DVC. In our implementation, we've taken the approach of conforming to the standards (typically open-source) set by the frameworks for serialization (for example https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model). In our API design, it was important to integrate at the framework level (e.g. a tf.keras.models.Model object) for our client libraries. If you're using one of the widely available frameworks that we support, this results in a simple API where the serialization / deserialization is more of an implementation detail. If you're using a custom or rarer ML framework with an unstandardized serialization format, an open-source approach might work better.

Hope that was helpful!

> Rendering a crop of the latest fly-by-night emoji is honestly the least of my concerns (with reference to the MacOS thing), although I personally disagree strongly with Stallman's stance in that matter.

Of course you do. This policy doesn't benefit you in the slightest, and since you are a macOS user already, all of your experience is telling you that this policy doesn't work.

But this particular policy is logical, and it doesn't really hurt Emacs. And, who knows, perhaps one day some talented/bored macOS developer will become so unhappy with Emacs not showing the latest fashion of emojis, they will go on and implement that support in Free libraries that are used for text rendering on GNU/Linux, and contribute it upstream.

> a white supremacist is not someone who advocates for bringing jobs back home, or enforcing immigration law. But people still feel free to call Trump racist because of those policies.

And his multiple criminal/civil findings of guilt for discrimination against black people and minorities in his real estate businesses?

I'm going to take a guess that _that_ may be why people call racist, not because he "advocates for bringing jobs back home" (while happily continuing to move / keep his own production in China and Asia).

Alex Jones lent a camera crew to Wolfgang Halbig when he travelled to Newtown, CT to harass the parents of the first graders murdered in the Sandy Hook shooting. Years and years from now those sites you're referring to will still bear the shame of not having banned him earlier.
> People are fit because they don't like being not fit. Except it isn't true.

I've never met anyone who was fit but really wanted not to be.

> I do not see a meaningful difference between taking actions to become fit and choosing stances that are polarized

If you accept the theory that people polarize simply because they innately seek to be in a polarized state, then that would imply polarization is the default state that people approach without any effort on their part. Becoming fit requires active and continuous work to eat healthy and exercise. They are polar opposites of one another.

> therefore that would imply this is not a tautology.

That orange != orange does not imply that apple == apple is not a tautology.

Oh yea, I wasn't picking on Rust. If anything I tend to defend Rust haha.

As far as what we did to cache, nothing fancy - using Docker build layers. I add my Cargo files (lock/toml), include a stub source lib.rs or main.rs to make it build with a fake source, and then build the project.

This builds all the dependencies. It also builds a fake binary/lib for your project, so you need to strip that from the target directory. Something like `rm -rf target/your?project?name*` (I use ? to wildcard _ and -)

If you do that in one layer, your dependencies will be cached with that docker image. In the next layer you can add your source like normal, compile it, and you'll be set.

We lose our cache frequently though because we're not taking special care to centralize or persist the layer cache. We should, for sanity.

As a middle-aged, conservative, Christian middle class white guy I can see you're pretty far to the left, but I'm not feeling the animus from you that I usually feel. Good for you -- your focus on love is working.

There is a song by Sinead O'Connor in which as an Irish woman she sings a song of unrequited love to Britain. It is so vulnerable and resonates for me as an Irish American. There is a place for confrontative songs (Stevie Wonder's Living for the City is an example from my generation) but how wonderful would it be for a black singer to sing a song like that to white America? "We have such a rich history together. We are as American as you can get! Ours should be a love story!"

Emotionally and even from the standpoint of cool strategy and tactics, the approach of foisting unending guilt on whites for being who they are is a losing proposition. The critical theory approach just makes no sense. You are right to focus on love -- something that can't be forced, but which people are more willing to give than you think. We just all need to love. And I can tell you from my marriage that I am much more willing to respond to my wife telling me that I have hurt her and let her down than to her telling me how angry she is.

That's like the greek term 'akrasia', which is the gap between who we want to be and who we behave as. It gives lie to those phrases like "Tell Me How Your Spend Your Time, I'll Tell You What You Value Most," and other pseudo-accountability philosophies. Akrasia exists, and the more people accept it, the better, as it helps us properly fashion regulation, addiction policy, etc.

I don't mind purging ideologies that are about racial superiority. Erase that shit.
Thank you for clarifying. However they don't prove your case, and I'll explain why.

Arguing that a conspiracy exists to harm a group is not evidence that this group is superior. It simply does not follow. Yes, I can see how this view might be shared by white supremacists but it simply does not follow from this statement alone. And for the record, I myself don't find his argument compelling.

The second statement goes deeper into Molyneux's thinking to an area where even I fear to tread. On this one I can concede that Molyneux establishes a link between IQ and what kind of gov't is possible in such a population. This _could_ be evidence of white supremacist thinking.

Now let me provide some counter evidence. Could a white supremacist accept/promote a claim that other races have higher IQ than whites? I don't believe so, because that would imply that whites are not superior in one area and throw the whole ideology into confusion. Yet he does so in this tweet: https://twitter.com/stefanmolyneux/status/116998248528916480...

The rush to judgment on someone is part of what's causing so much discord in the US right now. Molyneux is no white supremacist, but he doesn't shield himself from their arguments either.
