If you're going to get rid of all your Kotlin std lib usages by explicitly replacing them, after inspecting the actual class files generated by the compiler, with standard Java methods (and hope that no future change will re-introduce them) and you care so much about the size of your jars, I would say you're better off simply going back to Java, perhaps using the very latest version (since you're willing to use Kotlin that shouldn't be a problem) which has lots of niceties and to me, at least, looks a lot better than using Kotlin with these kinds of hacks. Add a nullability static analysis check and you're gold.

Despite adding a month to the mortgage, it was a good news story. Cat full recovered within a day or two, and the joy my kids get from this gosh darn cat makes it worth the expense. (just as long as it doesn't make a habit of getting eyeball splinters - freaking gross).

Life isn't fair, so some hints for your son: wear a nice suit, speak crisp standard English, and keep the grooming strictly traditional. Basically, adopt the mannerisms of a lawyer.

You did see the article I posted where Ving Rhames had five cops show up to his house pointing guns at him because they thought he was breaking into his own home? Should he have been wearing a suit in his own home?

No “acting White” doesn’t keep you from getting pulled over. My (step)son grew up in the burbs all of his life. No matter how “White” he talks he will still be treated with suspicious. So he is suppose to wear a suit everywhere? Do you tell your son to wear a suit when he is going to play basketball?

I know for a fact according to statistics I make more than twice the median in my county - the most affluent in the state and one of the top 25 in the country - the benefit of working for BigTech remotely while living in the south, I’m by no means rich - and yes we still get looked at suspiciously walking into our own homes.

So you mean all Black people have to do is wear a suit everywhere and they won’t get harassed? You have singlehandedly solved racism, police misconduct, the disenfranchisement of minorities, racial profiling, etc in one sentence!

And no, teachers come from their communities just like cops do. Do you really think they earn a degree and automatically become “woke”?

So poverty couldn’t possibly be caused by systemic racism, educational funding based on property taxes, the War on Drugs that habitually punishes minorities more than Whites for the same offenses that also makes it harder to get a job.
Really interesting paper. Layman summary for those not used to network science: infection rate are lower than expected from standard models, because they consider each infected person meets new completely random strangers, while in reality, they are more likely to meet those who infected them, or those who infected those who infected them.

In particular, the paper shows that a "phase transition" happens when the degree (average number of person met per person) exceeds a threshold, which the paper estimates to be around 7. Above that threshold, growth becomes exponential rather than linear.

> and consider fact-checkers to be just as biased as the statements they are checking

Aren't they? I can come up with examples off the top of my head, let alone with a search. This is my favourite[1]:

> The fact-checker for the New Yorker who mistook a Marine veteran’s tattoo for a Nazi symbol has resigned, saying the “small mistake” has ruined her life.

"mistook" is being kind. Take a look at her Twitter feed[2] and tell me if you think she's less biased than the stories that would've passed across her desk, because her feed is incredibly partisan. Do you think she managed to remain impartial while she was still employed as a fact checker? I wonder if she intended or wanted to be impartial, let alone managed it. I also wonder how that kind of person comes to be part of a team of fact checkers, which brings into question their impartiality. How was she able to make this “small mistake” and no one else on that team caught it? Perhaps they lack editorial oversight like Snopes[3], the Snopes that employs people who are obviously biased:

> Of particular interest, when pressed about claims by the Daily Mail that at least one Snopes employee has actually run for political office and that this presents at the very least the appearance of potential bias in Snopes’ fact checks, David responded “It's pretty much a given that anyone who has ever run for (or held) a political office did so under some form of party affiliation and said something critical about their opponent(s) and/or other politicians at some point. Does that mean anyone who has ever run for office is manifestly unsuited to be associated with a fact-checking endeavor, in any capacity?”

I'd say it was unbelievable but it's really not[4].

> Snopes appears to be actively engaged in an effort to discredit and deplatform us.

Dropping one's scepticism because someone calls themselves an impartial fact checker strikes me as being in the same realm as following the orders of a complete stranger because they have a uniform and claim authority over you or a situation, i.e. unwise.

Watching the original video, do you legitimately believe that any of the police officers are in danger? Do you believe that a single (unsubstantiated claim, without any evidence of a) thrown object justifies pepper spraying reporters and attacking bystanders with batons?

I originally shared the video claiming that police were interfering with a peaceful protest. You disputed that the police were interfering, saying they were marching past. When I shared further evidence that the police were in fact disrupting the protest and hurting people who were participating, you found reason to instead believe that the protest was not peaceful. Consider your biases.

Memorable plane rides for me tend to be exclusively in the negative. Like that oaf of a steward who dumped a bucket of ice on my lap over the Gobi desert on the way to Japan, or the 12-hour intercontinental flight to London where my seat's entertainment screen was broken and no other seat was available¹. And of course the abject misery of every single flight due to being 200cm tall.

Give me a train any day. Plenty of leg space, plenty of room to stretch your legs, better scenery, low noise (!), and no turbulence. Reading a book is not just possible, it is positively comfortable to do so.

1: They did compensate me by offering a bottle of champagne from the first class upon disembarking, only to discover that they couldn't give me that, because I was transferring to another flight, so customs wouldn't have it, so uhm, sorry (they were British). I did get a free meal out of it on Heathrow via a coupon, which is about as much fun as it sounds.

So you understood the phrase wrong and now you know better.

There are many people who are apologists for the police abolition movement (or whatever it should be called).

I’m sorry but it is quite obvious that a whole lot of people carrying around ACAB (all cops are bad) and “defund the police” signs don’t go along with the this-is-what-they-actually-mean explanations. They mean to have their message taken at face value.

I saw myself spraypainted on a Minneapolis building “actually defund the police”. it is hard to reinterpret all cops are bad as anything but the obvious, and it is quite popular.

That said, this is taking now well established startups that will have begun their lives 5+ years ago in general. If I was picking a back end stack then I'd probably hesitate before picking the .NET Framework. But these days I'd easily pick .NET Core.

Likewise, I'd want a statically typed back end and 5 years ago I'd probably have hesitated before using TypeScript and node together. Now I do it regularly.

Would be super interesting to see the same chart in 5 years with companies starting now.

What Wikipedia has to say about this:

> Carson has been targeted by some organizations opposed to the environmental movement, including Roger Bate of the pro-DDT advocacy group Africa Fighting Malaria and the libertarian think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute; these sources oppose restrictions on DDT, attribute large numbers of deaths to such restrictions, and argue that Carson was responsible for them. These arguments have been dismissed as "outrageous" by former WHO scientist Socrates Litsios. May Berenbaum, University of Illinois entomologist, says, "to blame environmentalists who oppose DDT for more deaths than Hitler is worse than irresponsible." Investigative journalist Adam Sarvana and others characterize this notion as a "myth" promoted principally by Roger Bate of the pro-DDT advocacy group Africa Fighting Malaria (AFM).
I don’t argue that it happened the same way. Impact sure took longer than what we can achieve with modern technology, but the fact remains. Humans arrived into the last jungles of Pangea, and by the time of European colonisation, Australia was a Red Continent, with Eucalyptus being the dominant large plant.

There seems to be a strong indication that human activity contributed significantly to the climate change in Australia.

Not belittling the choices humans make to opt-out of the modern civilisation, but romanticising and mythologising “closeness to nature” just isn’t productive. Profound effect on the environment is a feature of all life forms, and sustainability isn’t really on any life form’s agenda.

Who’s to say that Cyanobacteria aren’t “close to nature”? Yet buggers were so successful, and polluted atmosphere with oxygen so badly, nearly all life went extinct. Even that worked quite well in the end.
I really enjoyed the adventure game Disco Elysium. It is set in a weird-fiction alternate-universe shipping port.

The cosmic horror and sci-fi stuff are window dressing to a plot that is mainly focused on the legal and illegal business, politics, privateering, exploitation, espionage and criminality that goes on in an international dockyard. It’s really really good with lots of story telling and the right amount of gaming challenges.

(I’ve not come across the term freeport before, but I am guessing this overlaps with what you meant.)

I think what makes it harder with social
movements is that they’re often rooted in anger. I’m sure “fund social programs” would have a wider appeal than “de-fund the police” (which is sort of two sides of the same coin), but people are angry at the police so that’s where the focus is.

I think getting through that anger and encouraging people to find a positive and affirmative way to express the same sentiment is an extremely difficult task, and really asking a lot of people.
Criteria for whether a work is copyrighted are a bit more nuanced and the word “header” doesn’t figure in it. A work needs to be original and have creativity element in it. Code in header files can - and very often does - meet that requirement. Some kind of code (whether in headers or elsewhere) can be unoriginal, but that really has nothing to do with “headers”.

The parent actually explained it pretty well.
Never encountered that! Interesting approach.
Lawmen != police

My town just had the sheriff for example. The sheriff had a small crew of 1-2 deputies and a secretary. When something really rough would happen, the sheriff would round up a crew. It was a really light group of people. Lots of differences between that, a militia, community policing, etc. Even today some rural communities are “policed” very differently. Now that same town has a standing police force of 40 officers, a K-9 unit, and they have fancy military vehicles. This is with a change from 5000->10000 in population.

This was all up until pretty recently (1940s-1950s) too.
Ah, propaganda 101: "If you want to influence your enemy, make sure he/she sympathizes with you". I also read an interesting article about this, that conservatives do care about the environment if you give it the correct emotional cue.

E.g. instead of saying they have to save the environment for the future generation (which perhaps generates a guilty feeling), we want to preserve nature to keep it as it is (which they view as a positive thing, preservation of that which is good), they suddenly gave a lot more money to the cause.

Same here in the Netherlands, conservatives here fight for gay rights. Simply because it is part of our tradition. They also fight with all their might for Black Pete, look it up, because there is the constant blame game being played and they feel that the tradition is attacked.
And how much I love the tradition, the current Black Pete has some stereotypes baked in. And am I a nationalist and conservative, a rare breed in my country ^_^

I am curious what happens if there is a positive sound. E.g. tell them to go back to an older tradition, Black Pete as ferocious demon helper of Saint Nikolaas. Would they still oppose change? My guess would be that there is less of an issue then and people will experiment with new image.

Perhaps something to try out locally.

I understand Brutalist architecture to be characterized by the avoidance of arbitrary ornaments added to the actual structure of the building, which should be embraced and valued rather than hidden and considered too plain.

In the case of a digital font, there are only a bunch of splines, without separate "layers" of structure and ornaments.

The difference between loose rounded curves and sharp quantized curves is therefore the same as the difference between buildings with different room shapes, not the difference between more or less Brutalist styles.

Even if not meaningfully Brutalist, this font makes sense (the reasons to prefer quantized shapes are particularly valid) and looks surprisingly good, and that's what should matter.
