I also found it very baffling from a French standpoint. Obviously, spouting out des "gros mots" in polite society is frowned upon but the the magical thinking around 4 letter words in the US is on a whole other level.

What I wonder about, and this has been in the news briefly, is the transformation of mening of the Danish word "neger". Somehow people are starting to think it has the same sting as term referred to in the article does in the US, when actually it's purely an archaic term for someone of African origin. People are getting upset about it and giving it a meaning from another context.

Have you come across a "fartkontrol" yet? Or taken a lift with a light that says "i fart"?
I totally agree. I believe humans are hardwired to need some "religious belief".

Since secularism combined with rationalism are the dominant philosophies in many places, people are now socially incentivized to construct elaborate rationalizations for their blind faith.
E.g. Belief in flat earth is blind faith. A flat earther in 1000 a.d. would construct an argument appealing to religion (Holy Book says earth is flat!). Flat earthers now conduct "expiriments" and calcuations to try to prove their point.

Thus getting people to understand that they are engaging in religious belief can be particularly difficult.

I would say fairness is when people have peace with the outcome. If the mechanism behind an algorithm cannot be easily explained, then the outcome will be disputed. That is why I think fancy ML algorithms will never be considered fair.

Note that fairness and equality are not the same thing. For example, what is the most fair way to share one cake among two people? First person cuts, second person chooses. It's unlikely that the cake is equally divided, but neither can object the outcome, if they agreed with the mechanism beforehand.

Look at modern, traditional pastoralist cultures. Most rely on dairy for staple protein. Very few animals are kept for meat alone, in a traditional economic context. Most require several uses (plowing, transport, textiles, dairy, meat, currency) to justify their care.

Some cultures even outlaw eating beef, and most slaughter mostly when they don't have enough feed or for special occasions.

Dairy is absolutely essential to the nutritional economy of most pastoralist cultures that we know about. As you say, lactose persistence is not an absolute barrier... but I think this sort of evidence suggests that dairy is a very significant part of human history. Pastoralism with or without milk is a different beast.
More in Shanghainese than Mandarin, a lot of my French friends were teased by their Shanghainese partners because of that.

This is really an example of a university administration that rejects culture and critical thinking in favor of quick snap judgement and celebrating ignorance. I'd expect better of universities, they should be a bastion of culture and critical thinking standing against idiocy. And instead of punishing that teacher, they should explain and make sure students understand that there are other cultures and that context matters.
Slack does this too. Slackbot sends you "getting started" tips by default, which led to me receiving an email to ensure I enable notifications.

The Norwegian word for blacks used to be something that isn't allowed to be uttered anymore. It started becoming a problem only after we got a few black American migrants, and other migrants influenced by American culture to Norway. These people didn't understand the context of the word, and so they became violently offended when anyone used the word, even if the the word has always been a completely harmless description and not a slur within Norwegian culture. (Trust me, you'd know if a slur was used!) But because it offended so many newcommers, and since a synonym was readily available, Norwegians didn't think it was a hill worth dying on, and so they just cut it out of everday use. Today it is regarded as a big faux pas to use the word. Meanwhile some Norwegians still feel offended that foreigners who do not understand their culture, take to dictating how Norwegians should or should not speak. Personally I honestly don't know which is worse; offending someone because you said something with the best of intentions, or forcing someone to submit to arbitrary rules to avoid that they get offended, even if you utter such words with the best of intentions.

> As far as I can tell functools.partial has been implemented in C since it was added sixteen years ago ( https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/9c323f8de4910dfc0ba.... ), and it's faster than lambda ( https://gist.github.com/wrmsr/1e13eda3ed78288679c010acbe6d2b.... )

> Regarding docstrings you can access the underlying function via the __wrapped__ attribute,

This assumes one knows about that. A lot of people never even heard of partial(), and won't know about _ _wrapped_ _. Not to mention I never seen a tool using help() fetching _ _wrapped_ _._ _doc_ _ if it exists.

> and signature forwarding is too brittle and magical for stdlib.

@functools.wraps() does signature forwarding to great success, and is in the stdlib.

Nevertheless, I don't think it would be the right strategy for partial(), because you don't have the exact same signature. But at least having something like:

This function is the result of x() being wrapped with partial(x, 1, foo='bar').

Here is the original docstring of x():

For laughs, there is a hundred year old Hungarian/Serbian hard candy called Negro. The author's name was Pietro Negro, and the candy is charcoal black because of liquorice and doped with menthol, which gives it a distinctive medicine taste. People love it or hate it, I love it personally. In the meantime, more flavours are developed in Serbia, with eucalyptus, peppermint, lime, caramel... And all of them called Negro because it's just a strong brand name.

Nevertheless, every once in a while there is some wiseguy trying to make a story out of it, just ruining the fun. If we really want to take that discussion, I would argue that it's actually an homage to people of color, being so popular yet unrelated to colonialism or slavery and treated like a folk remedy for a sore throat.

> When simulating protanopia, reds should appear darker, due the lack of L cones. However, many simulators incorrectly display red as bright green instead.

For those who can't "see" it:

For people who have protananomaly, bright red (#ff0000) may look like `#cc0000` -- but it's clearly different from bright green (#00ff00) or gray (#cccccc).

Things get confusing with colors like pale brown (#997755) which may look something between fern green (#557755) and dim gray (#667755).

There was also an official standard for 2.88MB floppy disks which never caught on much, and by the time it would have been useful the zip disk, ls100 and CD-R drives killed it. Finding media for it now would probably be difficult and costly.

The floppy drive seen in the adapter with the small ribbon cable is the same from x86 PC laptops around 2002. I don't think any slimline type 2.88MB drives were made, only desktop size.

I don't see it mentioned but there is a neovim plugin called conjure [1] that is written in fennel. This is a general purpose REPL client that works for Clojure (I use it daily for Clojure and ClojureScript) but also for fennel itself. So you can have a really nice neovim plugin dev experience using this tool. Conjure works with fennel out of the box, but if you want to go deeper you may be interested in another plugin called aniseed [2] which provides interesting facilities for the fennel language and that is used internally by conjure.

Disclaimer: I am not the author of those tools, just a random Clojure dev.

I'd say it's not merely a curse word, for reasons I already suggested in the comment to which you're replying: I argue that it's understandably hurtful to some, and is associated with immense, tragic, shameful wrongs towards groups of people.

Separately, could you have made your point without saying that anyone who thinks differently than you must be developmentally disabled? Would it have been sufficient to say you don't understand why someone would think differently? Or, if you were very confident, and felt some emphasis were needed, could you have emphasized with more detail in a logical argument?

> Your idea that people should own their own computers because they’re critical tools isn't wrong, but it is elitist. For the vast majority of people, their desktops degrade into a fragile truce with a whole ecosystem of malware and near-malware.

I used to buy the homes of people who were delinquent on their taxes. To my surprise I learned that people also develop a fragile truce with a whole ecosystem of insects and animal droppings. Are most people like that? I choose to believe no. Because I think what's elitist is choosing to believe most people are too unhealthy to take care of themselves. Folks who think that way are going to be biased towards building orwellian tech dystopias. Just because unclean people exist, doesn't mean the rest of us don't deserve freedom.

Also there's just as much unscrupulous software in the mobile world as there is in the desktop world. It's just that, rather than being called malware, it's called an app with overly broad permissions. Like you download a Family Guy game and it uploads all your emails and photos to some business intelligence database. But that's apparently considered OK for some reason, since the user consented to it having that capability, likely believing that permission agreements would be as innocuous to consumers as EULAs.

Crypto Legal Compliance and Taxation Outlook of the Middle East
This is correct. If you want to create a multiplayer game, you can go about it by running the simulation on everyone's computer, and sending only the inputs to the simulation across machines (Lockstep networking). This requires the simulations to be deterministic which can be tricky to get right due to differences across architectures / compilers.

This is the approach used in a lot of RTS games. Starcraft 1 and 2 both work this way. I believe the original doom used this method as well.

You can get away with not having deterministic simulations via having the server run the simulation, and sending the data required for clients to render the state of the world that they can see. This requires a lot more bandwidth and complicates the network code quite a bit (or at least demands a certain architecture for the code). You still need to run some of the simulation on the client just for having acceptable visuals due to how long it takes for data to travel from server to client (level collision might also be simulated on client for example), but this client side simulation is just for visuals. Still though it's perhaps easier to get a reliable solution working like this due to how hard it is to get deterministic simulations.

The big downside to lockstep, beside it being hard to get deterministic simulations running across machines, is that it opens you up to certain types of hacks. Because the simulation is running on everyone's machine, this allows malicious players to hack the code to do things like let them see through walls or reveal the entire map.

Some games like (some) fighting games use an approach where they just let the simulation run on the client, predicting what they think the inputs will be, and if they get data from the server which doesn't agree with the predicted inputs, the game will revert to the last known good state, and just re-run the simulation with the correct inputs. This sounds insane but if for example a player is holding down W to move forward, it's more likely that W will continue to be held down rather than being released on any given frame.

For fucks sake. This sort dumbarse action sets back the cause of equality by a country fucking mile. This stuff happens when you take Dr DiAngelo too seriously and ignore what minorities are saying and just go with your ill informed guilt ridden heart.

Clearly he wasn't saying what is implied. I had assumed that "nà ge" was a slur in mandarin(when I saw the original news report). Its 100% clear from context that its nothing to do with race. Whats more the context is directly linked to the three words he says.

We must strive for equality, We _must_ help wider society by lifting up minorities.

About radiation: I once accidentally microwaved ants (trying to 'sterilize' potting soil) but they survived. Turns out more people microwaved ants and they found multiple reasons for their survival.

The main reasons are that they can transfer heat very easily and they do not contain much water relative to their volume.

So there is probably a lot more life that can withstand extreme conditions.

People who aren't racist don't anticipate that kind of "problems" because we don't obsess about race. Furthermore, while the words may sound "problematic" to a non Chinese speaker, anyone with some fluency would probably not even notice the similarity.
