A couple of ideas from reading the post:

1. Society is becoming much easier for people with dark triad traits to navigate. This is due in part to the loss of community boundaries mentioned in the article. One aspect not yet mentioned is the information overload, in which case multiplying scandals is a perfectly rational strategy.

2. Anecdotally I've found that the "lovable rogue" type tends to be more popular than the person who follows the rules all the time. You want to project a sense of liveliness to be appreciated. Think of the kid from your school days who was often disruptive or naughty but followed the rules once in a while and still managed to win everyone's hearts. Ironically, rogues like this are rewarded for their partial rule following as it is seen as a special effort coming from them. Rule followers are taken for granted.

3. Charisma is more important than any trait you could have. It's not just charisma but a sense of being life affirming and owning your own personality and situation, like the rogue described above.

4. As soon as you apologize, the house of cards comes tumbling down. Just imagine what would happen if Trump were to apologize even once, for instance. It would be the last thing his base would tolerate. Cultivating your base is far more important than trying to appeal to lukewarm moderates. You must find the people genetically and culturally predisposed to like your style.

5. In the attention economy, attention becomes far, far more important than any other factor. Maybe 90% of your efforts should be placed on getting some if it's a factor in your success.

6. Social norms are changing at an ever faster rate, but the basic drive for relative status is still there. There will always be a competition, just that you may be left bewildered at the criteria used. It's important to adapt quickly and avoid expanding your identity to the point where you can no longer accept social changes.

7. In the end, the shameless individual is the most free. Shame is an ugly emotion, because social norms are often ugly and limiting. The sensitivity to shame is a strong character flaw that must be overcome. In the end, if you are just a host for ideas as mentioned, why not pick the path of self-affirmation? As the Greeks said, the person who does not belong in the polis is either a pariah or superhuman. By simple logic, very successful people generally have to break social expectations in some way.

Sounds very dramatic ... so let's just assume your actions reflect your words.

Anyway, I don't think the martial wording is appropriate in most cases. For example I don't want to fight carbon dioxide.
I rather want our technology to not disturb the global biological/chemical balance much more. So I support better adopted technology.

And fighting pollution, well, I actually have to restrain myself not to physically attack people who I witness dropping plastic garbage into nature.
But the pollution which is already there, I can only clean up.

So fighting polluters, yes. But fighting pollution sounds like a oxymoron to me, because fighting in itself is mostly dirty and damaging by its definition. War just leaves a mess. So I don't think the martial language really helps the cause.

Well, it works with TinyCC/tcc where you can get order 200 millisecond compiles. While tcc does do most of c99, I do not think Nim requires anything past c89. libc-wise, it doesn't use even all of standard C. Minimal stdio/string stuff. You can easily access any C libs, though. So, a given program may have more dependency, but that is up to you (or to your Nim package deps).

Full disclosure, not everything works - different backends tend to have slightly different bugs/coverage, but this also applies to c++ and js backends. But I use tcc as my default backend (in my nim.cfg file) every day and only run into problems like a time or two per year.

The Future of CSS: Higher Level Custom Properties
I've come to see affirmative action's value for the future. Hiring was not free from bias in the past. Even if that's no longer true, the existing lack of physicists in a community means less people from that community will have physics as a goal. Kids rarely dream of attaining roles they don't see. And if kids don't see roles on television or in daily life, that leaves their community. Underrepresentation causes an artificial self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's hard to come up with an unbiased way to correct current problems caused by past bias.

Where did you land?
I saw the point of the video was to call out the annoying habit of correcting with pedantry, focusing on words instead of meaning, showing off how smart you are at the expense of meaningful communication -- the opposite of "yes, and". It's incredibly annoying to talk with people like that except if you like being a pedant back. So it has its place, but it undermines teamwork.

I see it as a property of nerds, which I say as a nerd myself with a PhD in physics. I still do it and feel the tug to, but I've worked hard to learn to listen and reflect with more empathy and generosity.
Doesn't depend much on the standard library -- almost not at all, and usually behind flag (e.g., if you don't -d:useMalloc , nim will not us malloc).

I think it's no longer maintained, but there's a kernel that boots on metal written in Nim. Furthermore, people are running Nim on ESP32, Nintendo Switch, JS (Browser, Node), iOS, Android and more; From that alone its clear that the C library can't be a significant dependency.

(And ... just about any C compiler around, including GCC, LLVM, TCC, MS C, Intel C, Zig C are supported when using C as a backend).
> Agreed.

Good that we basically agree about the nature of the enemy.

> Still, to me, starting from a more reasonable starting point and then following the exact same playbook seems like a bad idea. I think it likely that the playbook is dangerous, not just the starting point.

But it's not the exact same playbook. For example, when do woke mobs forgive and leave their targets alone? It's pure domination from them.

> How is it dangerous? I suspect that the logic of it drives you more and more into open conflict and warring camps. I'm not sure that's the best response to cancel culture.

Yes, of course it's dangerous. There will be people who simply hate the wokes just as much as the wokes hate them, and they'll bask in power games just as much as the wokes do. I reject and disavow that now and will continue to. That being said, I think following the conditions I laid out would prevent my "side" from going overboard. The biggest danger IMO is in operational problems like falsely accusing someone of being a cancel culture warrior, which could cause serious harm. It could also be weaponized by the wokes themselves.

Ultimately, I think cancel culture either dies out on its own (the cancelers begin to cancel each other, which we have seen some evidence of), or it drags literally everyone into its maw. I think the latter, esp. in the tech world, is a serious risk. Once cancel culture and social justice take root in some organization, they are polarizing. Since wokeness is totalitarian, trying to remain neutral is an unstable position (in practice, neutrality is an anti-woke position), a bit like trying to stay away from the Nazi or Communist parties in 1930s Germany or Russia.

I'm not sure the best response either, but this seems like a fairly good one, albeit one I won't act on until some of the vulnerabilities can be mitigated (such as false accusations).

While I strongly support the open letter to the ACM, and other open letters like the Harper's one, or even Bari Weiss' open letter to the NYT, I'm not sure those are much more than a wet noodle to the wokes. If anything, it just helps them organize the target list. My way at least has some teeth and gives the various parties an incentive to behave civilly again.

>Is it really an established idea in the security community that systemd is a security nightmare?

It's not. The presence of CVEs in software is a sign of maturity, not insecurity. It's frustrating to see people use CVE numbers to point at some larger problem. The key element is to realize that security issues are just bugs, especially in the context of C software. What you should be cautious about is upstreams that doesn't handle security issues well. Systemd is not one of these upstreams.

> Goldman Sachs doesn't get hurt by a minimum wage, but small business owners, such as those running a convenience store, do.

Goldman Sachs is a red herring in this argument. The ones hurt most are the very poor who never have a chance to own such a business to begin with. And a business model that relies on cheap labor is not one that should be ethically allowed to exist in modern society IMO. Also as the sibling comment points out, all of society loses when business underpays it's employees and they are forced to permanently rely on transfer payments to make ends meet.

A minimum wage is the best way to use market mechanisms to eliminate poverty via an improved alignment of incentives. Businesses invest in additional capital to make labor more productive due to it's increased inherent cost. More productive labor can in turn charge higher rates. Which translates into higher total demand, which begets more investment and growth.

There are also ancillary benefits as well, many anti-immigration supporters (inaccurately) point to stagnating wages as a negative result of present immigration policy. A boost in minimum wages would take that rhetorical sleight-of-hand away from them.

It is definitely a weird choice to say that he is the "organized crime person of the year" when the biggest criminal organization in brazil (PCC) was caught in a wiretap last year complaining that Bolsonaro's government was too harsh on them, and alluding to having a great dialogue with former leftist leaders[0].

It is true that his son has been accused of hiring "phantom" employees, but to say it was on Bolsonaro's behalf is pure speculation, in fact there are zero corruption charges against him. I personally find the whole Hunder Biden episode to be a lot more damning than that and I am not ready to say Joe Biden deserves to be held responsible for it.

It is also worth noting there is no "OCCRP" award against Lula, former Brazil's president, who was in fact tried, charged, and imprisioned through a lengthy and fair judicial process - that really makes you question the true motives of this award. Are speculations more important than the due process of the law?

Abstract:

> This paper extends interplanetary trade to an interstellar setting. It is chiefly concerned with the following question: How should interest on goods in tranist be computed when the goods travel at close to the speed of light? This is a problem because the time taken in transit will appear less to an observer travelling with the goods than to a stationary observer. A solution is derived from economic theory, and two useless but true theorems are proved.

> A minimum wage is nothing more than a tool in our arsenal to fight poverty.

This is quite wrong: minimum wages do not "fight poverty". The only effect that minimum wage laws have is to render low-paying job illegal. Minimum wage stops potential employers from creating low wage jobs. That's all they do. If unemployment rate is low enough then society doesn't notice, but if unemployment rate is high then people just work ilegally.

Shame - is good. It's the glue of civilization. There are MANY things that are legal that we can do, but we will not, as we will feel ashamed of it.

It seems to me that about half of the general population is constrained by the "sanctions" of shame exclusively, but given the green light by a high profile example of, oh say, the President, will gladly act like horrible human beings, which is their original nature. Not only will they not feel shame, they may even be proud of being horrible.
