The term "bigot" is highly loaded, ambiguous term and we seem to be using it in some random cancel-culture way that only applies to selective beliefs and ascribing some sort of "evil" property to the individuals we throw it at. I'll even go out and say that I am a bigot because I am unreasonable about a lot of different topics and points of view that I disagree with.

Here are a bunch of variations of the definition, for your perusal.

Oxford: "a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions."

Merriam Webster: "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices. Especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

Cambridge: "a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life: "

Dictionary.com: "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion."

Collins: "Someone who is bigoted has strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions and will not change them, even when they are proved to be wrong. "

Oxford Learners: "a person who has very strong, unreasonable beliefs or opinions about race, religion or politics and who will not listen to or accept the opinions of anyone who disagrees"

I’ve worked on a lot of personal projects over the years that were never finished or were quickly abandoned. I used to feel bad about this, feeling like I had wasted my time. But then I realized that I learned a ton by doing all of this work. Often I’d have a need for what I learned a year or two down the road. So now I take the attitude that if I learn something, time spent programming is never wasted.
Looks like the code is here for anybody interested.

It's a mistake to run on only one dyno. You need at least two to enable the autoscaling feature and your single dyno cycles (reboots) once a day, which is creating downtime you probably didn't know about.

I wrote a project about a decade ago that used WPF and was disappointed to hear later that Mono wouldn’t be implementing a clone. They actually recommended Silverlight if one wanted cross-platform WPF. But WPF is just so much better than WinForms IMO, and Silverlight was on its way out then.
There are, I imagine, some tricks for lots of virtual hosts. Like not running out of file descriptors if they each have their own log. Or watching for bloat in config files. Apache, at least, used to bog down on startup with thousands of VirtualHost directives. Or perhaps an acme cert renewal script that runs serially and takes a looong time to finish.
"The software industry makes amazing tools for itself, while doctors and scientists are stuck with old code. Tech needs to quit hacking and start listening."

Then pay for better software? Take your money elsewhere? I don't understand what we're supposed to do here. I get it, your industry has old software. Maybe hire us to make it better? Not my problem you're still using Windows XP and Fortran though. Sounds to me like corners were cut and budgets were not set appropriately.

> Instead they are disproportionately black and other minorities.

Disproportionate to what? Their share of the population, or their share of homicides committed? (Using homicide because, unlike other crimes, it's hard to bias the numbers by over-policing. You'll catch more jay-walkers if you assign more police to an area, but you'll get roughly the same number of dead bodies.)

> Totally agree with your point that incentivizing "pandering to criminals" can be a bad thing though

If so many people are considered criminals that pandering to them is required to win elections, then perhaps it's the legal system that's in the wrong.
This is sort of my point. Technically it's not a national election, it's 50 state-wide elections. Each individual state's Department of State can prescribe most of the manner in which the election is handled. The electoral power starts and ends at the state level, and Constitutionally speaking, the fact that the state count is part of a national election is merely a byproduct of that.
As the parent said, a rising price will more efficiently allocate a scarce resource and ensure that people only purchase what is actually needed. Additionally, this will signal the market to produce more. A large hospital conglomerate could sign a deal with an upstart manufacturing firm to get the masks from the newly formed line. They could strike a deal that reduces risk for each party. It's unlikely the Hospital will never need these in the future, so it's not like they're throwing money away.
There's no reason to assume the complex models and naive assumption don't match though, which is the point I'm trying to argue. If the first step is "we should assume it would be likely to cause warming, all else equal", then there's no reason to jump to assuming the complex models disprove that basic assumption. They might, they do in plenty of circumstances, but it's reasonable for the working assumption to start from assuming they match. The naive assumption should convince most ignorant people (which is virtually everyone, almost nobody is doing PhD level climate research, and not many more really understand that research) to listen to the PhD scientists shouting the same thing. It's not reasonable to deny the conclusion of climate change scientists with complicated models just because you don't understand them, when the simple science agrees.

I'm surprised that my comment could be interpreted in such a way! lol

(but the other comment by jonathanstrange hints that you are not alone, so maybe my writing style could use some improvement)

To the contrary, even so I'm sure that Murray is on Assage's side, he still manages to write a factual report.

To his honor, it is quite easy to make the distinction between the facts reported and Murray's opinion.

And it's based on the facts only (as included in the reports written by Murray) that I'm myself horrified by how the trial is unfair and full of procedural mistakes against Assange.
Well exactly, he didn't have a logical point to make. Just an unfounded assumption that women are ruining things for everyone.
> Isn't the obvious answer that CEO/executive pay should be tied more closely to performance?

Short term or long term? How do you measure performance in a way that can't be gamed? How do you prevent alignment of the company to achieve the metrics you set at the expense of all of the other things that make a thriving corporation?

Eich voted to deny gay people rights that straight people have. That's not a personal belief, that's a concrete damaging action borne of bigotry.

>Rust forces you to write stuff like Result::and_then and Result::map over and over again.

The feature of Haskell that lets you avoid writing 'and_then" over and over is do-notation.
I don't think this is true at the CEO level. A big reason why CEO's get big pay packages is to incentivize all the aspiring middle managers to work hard.
Does anyone really believe that the principals of these pirate suites freely give out their real phone no's, addresses, and anything else useful ? They know from the start that the authorities will be using the legal system to obtain this information (which is typically all false information anyway).

and if they hail from Russia no Western legal process applies in Russia, Russian courts don't respect any Western demands, in fact, Western lawyers who dare to show up in Russia would likely be beaten or killed, so they could hire local counsel, but the criminals can hire hitmen to take out local counsel cheaper than they can hire defense lawyers.

That says something about the legal trade: when guys can hire hitmen cheaper than you can hire a lawyer (and typically with more certain results)
I think you've misinterpreted the parent comment. They are complaining about the people conducting the case.

> 43% of Germans voted for the NSDAP.

You are aware that they only reached that number after placing armed guards at the polling places, with large parts of the opposition in prison, missing or exile? Hitler wanted to win that "election" with a majority by any means possible, getting 43% despite all the steps he took were a slap in the face.

> Furthermore, Lewis was not representing his own views but speaking on the direct instructions of the government of the United States of America. Throughout a full four hours, Lewis on behalf of the government of the USA not only evinced no understanding whatsoever of mental illness, he never once, not for one second, showed one single sign that mental illness a subject taken seriously or for which there is the tiniest element of human sympathy and concern. Not just for Julian, but for any sufferer. Mental illness is malingering or if real disqualifies you from any role in society; no other view was expressed. He made plain on behalf of the US Government, for example, that Julian’s past history of mental illness in Australia will not be taken into account because the medical records have been destroyed.
Wow. No sarcasm here. Until you pointed it out, I was wondering why they named it that way. I suspect only a certain percentage of us are so affected.

mlonkibjuyhv has it exactly right, I think.

At their outset, revolutions and [domestic] terrorism are usually indistinguishable. The American Revolution was certainly viewed as terrorism by the Crown, whether they had that word for it or not. History is written by the victors, and to a certain extent the worthiness of your cause is determined decades or centuries later by whether or not you were successful.
Until today :)
It seems clear to me that society is much more aggressive about controlling male-normative instincts, which are characterized as violent and isolationist. Consumption and financial mating, however, are encouraged and enforced by every level of our social hierarchy. These instincts could also be controlled.

Did you notice GP's hasty generalization wrapped in a straw man? Not to mention the implied ad hominem. Also, the false equivalence of macho = alpha. GP's argument is fallacy upon fallacy, and thus weak. FWIW, I was sincere, and GP is somewhat of a ridiculing bully that took it off the rails. I was not suggesting Rogan was a monkey... he is a man. With evolution, I was suggesting the reasons for which macho is attractive. Is GP saying the the meanest monkey didn't produce the most offspring? And that it was the most sensitive monkey? I can't make heads or monkey tails of it.
Or pin them on Skynet. Which is just a better implementation of IPFS.
I read it differently. "Congress, knowing they have almost zero control over defense expenditures, are aghast to find out the DoD spent money how the DoD sees fit, rather than what Congress hoped they would spend the money on."

This is just like the bailout money. No meaningful way to control how it's spent, that's why AIG all got golden parachutes. It's a body of dumb people making decisions in haste at best, or entirely corrupt (my vote).
If you're looking to hear a typical accent today, turn on New York sports radio (https://www.radio.com/wfan/listen ) and listen to the segments where random people call in. You might not hear the old-time accent described in this article, but you'll hear a distinctly New York-area accent.

The interaction pattern is still the same though. I'm from New Jersey and (under normal, non-COVID circumstances) work in New York, and interrupting in conversation is taken as pretty natural.
They're is no "equal" if there is "except for". You'd think a software engineer would grok that instantly.
I was defacto 'network admin' at one company. One guy I warned off the porn (dont care you look just do it at home on your own line). He got mad and yelled at the owner and got my privs revoked on the network by bullying one of my other co-workers. My boss took them back and then added even more just to make the guy look bad. Lesson learned. Just block it and do not say anything if you are not in authority to say so. If they complain 'you will look into it'.

Why the CEO hate? Firefox has finally completed the quantum refactor and is far better than before.

Most of the hate seems political: people keep bringing up supporting a ban on homosexual marriage and how Mozilla shouldn’t have liberal cultural values.

Most of these comments treat her as if she’s a virus, eating away a mozilla. They give an uneasy feeling.
This is because the post was originally written as a Jupyter notebook [1] and exported as markdown. These notebooks allow you to mix markdown and code which is executed interactively, and use `!` as a special syntax to denote bash commands instead of Python statements.

Sounds like the smart solutions is to cut out this nebulous middle-man that must be motivated by ambiguous signals that we aren't actually sure will work, and instead just produce the masks directly. That is to say, seems like we could have avoided this mess by the state itself producing the necessary PPE.

EDIT: If you disagree, tell me why. "Capitalists" and "communists" both are getting downvoted in this thread for what I assume are ideological reasons and it's annoying me.
This is a good point. I think this can (partly) be explained by the significance of language in the evolution human communities. We can imagine how speech impediments might have a negative correlation with survivability, on both the individual and group levels. I imagine groups with good communication would hunt better, and form deeper relationships. And individuals with exceptionally good communication would rise as leaders and coordinators.

This might be why we do not see many problems with speech (in comparison to its complexity). Evolution thinks this one ability is extremely important for passing on genes.
Maybe they're odd, but they look much better to me. Firefox text feels loud and anxious in comparison.
I'm not too familiar with rust's syntax -- isn't `!` normally used after identifiers to indicate macro invocation? Or is it part of the identifier that happens to name a macro?

More accurately, when I have a function that returns `!`, is that `!` a special syntax construct at the parser level, a keyword, or a name from the prelude? Or is there some special zero-name macro that is invoked? Can I put a bang in my own type name?

As a gay person, this right-wing persecution complex is so tiring and disgusting. "Gun owners" aren't some disadvantaged class like racial minorities or LGBT people. Give me a break.
In the English language "Men" can also mean "human beings in general". Granted, this usage is a tiny bit archaic.
I'm confused, how does funding the invention of a machine to enable the mass production of masks mean they don't care? Seems to me that the idea was solving problem A meant solving problem B.

This is not terrible in principle (assuming you support having a military at all) in order to preserve a diversity of sources. This mentality (from both military and private sector) is why AMD has a license to produce x86 instruction set hardware (although that license may not matter so much today): up into the late 70s people would not buy parts if there was not an independent second source.

Unfortunately this managed competition was destroyed in the 90s — not the managed part but the competition part.

This same reason justifies the expensive and horrifically distorting agricultural subsidies. The principle is to make sure there is adequate food production even when it is not economically self justifying so that people don’t starve due to lack of food supplies. You can argue that the system doesn’t work properly (hint: it doesn’t) but at the minimal baseline it is better than not existing.

As the 2008 and 2020 crises demonstrate, this kind of baseline diversity has withered away over the last 40 years, especially but hardly exclusively in the US, and made the whole system more fragile.

How to Write Palindrome Polyglot Quines
Well nice job carliny in launching it, well done! And good luck.

I could see a lot of small groups adopting this -- college extracurricular groups, a team at a church, friends organizing a short film -- and if you're focusing on usage metrics, that whole universe could prove to be far larger than the business market, at least before it's included in G Suite. Think of how many people use Forms+Sheets for that stuff right now.

However, my $0.02 would be that, right now, if I were one of those, I'd look at the landing page and assume that I'd quickly run into a limit and be tricked into paying $10/user/mo., so I'd avoid even trying it out. The 1,000-row limit seems like something I might easily run into, for example if I were simply importing all the alums from the organization's 30-year history.

I wonder if you couldn't come up with a better separation between free and paid that didn't depend on storage, but solely on features? For example, imagine if Sheets were free but charged if you wanted to use pivot tables and database connectors -- something like that. (Also, total storage is hard to estimate in advance, perhaps better to have a limit on attachments per-row? E.g. 64 KB, and it will automatically convert images to JPEG with lower quality/resolution as necessary? Otherwise everything is stored as a link to someone's Drive file?)

I just think if you communicated this as "100% free" but then with a "paid business integration add-on" or something, people would be a lot more willing to try it out. Again, best of luck!
It’s been seven months. This is absolutely ridiculous and has everything to do with the lack of leadership and willful negligence of US gov’t.

Sort of. There are transports that make Tor traffic look identical to generic HTTPS traffic etc. So you can filter based on endpoints, but that's hard to do for unlisted bridges and the like. In terms of exits, most countries prefer not to block them.
