Another way to get the “dynamic” scoping answer is to ignore functions as well as scoping and just guess based on reading too down. Eg the last line says print(a), first the program wrote a=10 then it wrote a=15, so I guess a=15. In the next example you see print(d), look up and see d+3, make a guess as to what that means and look up again and see d=5, so guess d=8.
Thanks, that is a very different first impression. Is there a reason it is not obviously linked to from the landing page?
It could be for intimidation, but it could also be to dissuade trivial intimidation or violence by police.

I witnessed a peaceful demonstration in the UK, in which mounted police struck completely non-violent protesters who were sitting on the ground in the head with batons as a way to scare the crowd into moving.

That wouldn’t have happened if the protesters had been armed.

I've recently been thinking that the current version of social media is our generation's version of smoking. I think it's going to take another 25 years but eventually I think it will be seen as something detrimental to everyone's (mental) health that people have to work to remove themselves from.
This is not a very meaningful measure, given that the standards of a "college education" today are way lower than even a high-school education in e.g. the 19th century. Anti-intellectualism is not a new development or a result of the Internet; it has been somewhat common for quite some time, even among the self-proclaimed intellectual elite.

Here's the thing. If you've paid attention for more than fifteen minutes to feminists complaining about mistreatment, you'd know that one of the oldest tricks in the deflection playbook is to play the "agreeableness" card, asking people to calm down and be reasonable. At its best, it's a delaying tactic, playing for time while you continue to enjoy the fruits of inequality. I don't like it when it happens to women. I'm sure as hell not going to tolerate it being turned toward me.

When they say "literal nazis", they mean literal nazis, not figurative nazis.

I don't think the entire GOP it turning into Nazis. I can't recall the last time I heard someone say they believed it. However, I don't think every German, or even most Germans, in WWII were Nazis either. That didn't stop the Nazis from being in charge. It barely slowed them down.

In order to get his 49% of the votes, #45 had to scrape the bottom of the barrel, courting every non-liberal element of society. The GOP leadership has publicly recognized these groups and groups like them as members of Team GOP. They seated them at a table as if they deserve to be peers with the folks you claim to represent.

Let me ask you a serious question. Was it worth it to win that way? Really? What entitles anyone who says 'yes' or 'maybe' to be painted with a separate brush from the people who delivered the victory at "any cost"?

If getting you, or all of us really, looking in the mirror is going to be predicated on treating you with the respect you plan to earn once they've treated you as if you've earned it, then buddy, you're going to be disrespected for an awful long time. Read the warnings, take some umbrage. I certainly am.
Parler was not an echo chamber by design.

> There's basically no support for this claim in any literature I can find. Care to cite a historian?

Tell me the literature you looked in first, because I want to know which books can miss such basic facts, and hence what I should avoid. The history of Europe is soaked in blood provoked by differences over what can be said by religious people, to religious people, and of them and their views. Entire wars have been fought over it - are you going to tell me there are historians that are credible who'll claim Europe was a land of toleration? Locke wrote his letter of toleration specifically because of the widespread intolerance and bloodshed.

If you use the word heresy instead of blasphemy and your search may prove more fruitful. It was effect in Europe from the Edict of Thessalonica, which brought the first execution, and in some countries hasn't been repealed from law. If you look up the last people executed under these laws you may even find what they said to deserve execution.

I support the right for both sides to speak out. What I don't support is endorsing one side, and then demonizing the other. Objectively, more police and citizens were killed in BLM riots. Tens of active shooter situations, vehicles used as weapons, billions in property damage. Storming the capitol is also bad, but demonizing it more so is asking for extremist trouble.
And similar to referring to a "CMOS image sensor" as "CMOS" or referring to a "battery-backed CMOS SRAM" (for BIOS configuration) as "CMOS"... But due to historical reasons (e.g. CMOS made battery-backed SRAM possible, NMOS or PMOS drains the battery in no time), these terms are stuck forever.

Well, they had two options: 1) Do what they did, and inflame some of the pro-Trump types with thinking that he and they are being persecuted and oppressed. Or 2) let Trump keep the megaphone (MAGAphone?) and hope that in the next 10 days he didn't say anything that would inflame some of the pro-Trump types into thinking that they had to violently try to reverse the result of the "stolen" election.

Note that there is no option that doesn't leave a segment of the pro-Trump crowd inflamed, angry, and perhaps looking for trouble.

Let cooler heads prevail is good advice. Except in this situation, cooler heads already were not prevailing.

However, MikroTik seem to be making slow but steady progress with new features. Stability is still an issue to an extent, but for home use I could almost make the jump.

In fact, if I didn't use CAPsMAN to centrally control the multiple access points in my home, I would make the jump purely for fq_codel/cake AQM, Wireguard and WPA3.
I'm only familiar with the Jenny Durkan (mayor of Seattle) incident. However, I don't think graffiti on her fence and the street are really the same type of 'storming'. From her public complaint:

"Using her official position to lead a march to my home, despite the fact that it was publicly known I was
not there, and she and organizers knew that my address was protected under the state confidentiality
program because of threats against me due largely to my work as U.S. Attorney. All of us have joined
hundreds of demonstrations across the City, but Councilmember Sawant and her followers chose to do
so with reckless disregard of the safety of my family and children. In addition, during or after
Councilmember Sawant’s speech at that rally, her followers vandalized my home by spray-painting
obscenities. (Photo attached)"

How to gather great feedback from your power users
> There have been a million reasons for years to support decentralized communication platforms, but it only gets a burst of attention when a fascist / race-nationalist movement gets de-platformed? I find that more than a little depressing. It says not so flattering things about this community if this is what you folks care about enough to notice what's been obvious for so long.

This is a pretty reductionist way of looking at a post like this. These events have opened up a lot of interesting points:

- The practice of websites "soft deleting" content

- Reckless data collection

- The ease at which managed infrastructure can be revoked by vendors, without warning

- The potential for harm that bad actors can have on a centralized network

- The limits of curation / moderation

- The degrees of separation between companies that manage infrastructure, manage application code, and the people that manage communities and the power dynamics in between

- The roles of narratives, misinformation, and how it can be both monopolized, weaponized, and used to radicalize

Thinking about these things critically and iteratively does not make anyone a far-right apologist. Decentralization has been discussed on this website off and on for as long as I've been here. It's not always relevant, it's a problem with lots of caveats, and it will take rediscussion over time to find a solution that works well for everyone.
Why do you keep raising hypotheticals which have nothing to do with reality? Once again, TFA is about removing _posts_, not people.

Nevertheless, I'll indulge you: While businesses in the USA generally reserve the right to refuse to do business with whomever they please, Federal law (under the Civil Rights Act of 1964) prohibits discrimination in public businesses made on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. Many states also have their own laws further limiting discrimination, though I'm not personally that aware of how these have been tested in regard to online services serving many states/countries.

Beyond what's required under law, companies can have whatever policies they wish (but will have to deal with public outrage for implementing policies as disgusting as the one given in your example).
If so, that would be a crime and those people should have been arrested. So what? I love the conservative view that if any liberal anywhere did anything bad, then it’s a get out of jail card for them to also do that bad thing. No dude. A crime is a crime.
I remember hearing a discussion of affirmative action on All Things Considered. All of the guests on the show were in favor of affirmative action (so much for all things considered), and when the 'mismatch hypothesis' (which postulates that affirmative action may actually harm some of its intended beneficiaries by putting them in institutions where they are less prepared for the academic rigor than their peers) came up, the idea was dismissed out of hand as being outdated and debunked. This plainly misrepresents the state of the research, which has pretty conclusively shown that the mismatch effect appears in elite law schools and in STEM graduate rates.

When I heard this dismissal and noticed that no one pushed back, it made me realize that the guests and host were all ideologically aligned. I still listen to NPR, but I now know that they are much more biased than I previously thought.

To downvoters: do you doubt that this happened or think it isn’t an apt example of NPR being aligned with Democratic Party positions?

But your pupils are right. There is a certain complication rate for vaccinations. This complication rate most likely exceeds the complication rate of them getting Covid. Vaccinating 12-year-olds probably does not make sense.
We're going to go with the logic - and evidence - that Trump has been doing this for years. Even before he was president he was threatening violence if he didn't win the nomination. [1]

So it is spectacularly, flagrantly, and most of all utterly unconvincing to suggest that he - I don't know - misspoke? Didn't mean it? Was widely and unfortunately misinterpreted by an angry crowd he just happened find himself in front of with kindness and good will to all men in his heart?

None of that is even remotely plausible.

Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, etc are perfectly justified in shutting him up, for the safety of all Americans, and very possibly the rest of the world.

Once we've dealt with this threat, we can come back and have a debate about media control in all of its forms. And when we do that we can include the trad media too, because they have a lot to answer for.

But for now there are more pressing problems. Whether or not Twitter did the right thing isn't anywhere close to the top of the list.

SML and OCaml also have global inference, and in fact Haskell initially got it from there.

Hong-Kong rioters and Capitol rioters both protested against a democratically elected government (or soon to be) but the former were called dissidents and got the support of USA tech corps[1] while the latter are called terrorists and are heavily censored.

The split may come from Pence, interestingly enough. It didn't take much for Trump to malign his VP two weeks from the end of his term. Pence was chosen to satisfy the evangelicals, who are another similar group to the MAGAs in that they're not the mainstream republicans, but enjoy enormous influence.

There is a big difference between “controversial” and a place where people are actively planning criminal activity. It’s not close. No bank, for example, could continue serving a known crime org. They themselves would be charged if they did that.
Probably cause there is not much possible technology set in future oriented IP around so demand is bigger than media coverage. Decent movies you can count using hands, same with manga / anime. Books are a little better but book authors are mostly the same and not writing anything right now. RPG I know around 3 - maybe. Games are not many. Whole genere is very exploitable cause it's near future but hard to imagine and describe.

Now compare it with series about police / gangsters or war.

I really enjoyed that game. I found that I was moderately good at keeping a 3D map in my head irrespective of rotations, so it was often a case of having barely good enough recollection to fly out of there within the time limit, and that made it very exciting. I think it was the flight controls that eventually made me stop playing. IIRC the was some momentum when turning and rotating which I had difficulty getting used to, it was frustrating enough that most of my close misses was due to it, and I finally didn't want to fight it anymore.
Bingo: this is the heart of why a better tech solution won’t appeal to the majority. People need to feel like they’re partaking in some particular culture or counter culture. On clubhouse for example, people feel like they’re casually mingling with the elite. So that, in particular, those without country club memberships assign a premium value to it.
BLM protests were attended by tens of millions over the course of a year. I won't defend violence or looting or even property damage (the poor insurance companies!), but you must admit there's a difference between attacking a Target to steal clothing and trying to put a stop to an election by storming the capital.

Ultimately I want the country to heal, but in order to do so we cannot continue to entertain insane crap like "stop the steal." That is not a way forward, and those who are trapped into that alternate reality either need to stand down or be confronted.
Anytime you look at the trending hashtags on Twitter they are always divisive and hatred. Even when unify was trending, the top twitters and top comments are the ones against unification, like "we don't unify with nazis".

I also changed to using client keepalives after something in our office network changed: they installed new switches and access points and suddenly my ssh sessions wouldn't stay open. After getting nowhere with IT (mainly just a low priority issue to them) it was just less frustrating to enable keepalives and the problem disappeared, so that's my default config everywhere ever since.
People are more educated than ever. They are more literate and more have attended at least some college. They also have more access to information than ever before. Either lack of education isn't the problem or it's an impossible standard.
The world that see you when looking out through your eyes doesn't exist in reality either. It's just models your brain puts together from some sensory stimuli (photons hitting your retina), but they aren't real, they are mere concepts that happen to work well enough that you may manage to live long enough to procreate... they were made by evolution, and evolution doesn't care if it's real so long as it works well enough.

"We're a community town square, an open town square, with no censorship... If you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler."

How does that lead to suppression of opposing political viewpoints?

I'd still consider something to be government-funded if they receive millions of dollars in funding from the government (wikipedia shows $200M in revenue in 2016). [1]

It is relevant that this is a small portion of their budget, but generally when someone thinks "this shouldn't be funded by taxpayer dollars" they don't stop caring just because the millions of dollars spent only cover a small portion of the entity's total budget. Typically these arguments are ideological/philosophical, not matters of degree.
