> you can't also implement with JavaScript, right?

I don't want to sound like a condescending snob, but I honestly wish someone tried to convince me years ago. I myself have spent over a decade dealing with JavaScript (and many other languages as well). Multiple times I had a chance to learn Clojure, but I dismissed every opportunity. I didn't like it. It seemed to me there was nothing "sexy" about it. And one day, I just decided to give it a try (it appeared that I tried many things, and finally I had to try this). The basics I learned pretty quickly. But the more profound philosophy of the language and its ecosystem took me quite some time.

It is incredibly challenging to attempt to explain in a single comment what makes Clojure so much nicer than everything else I have tried before. And I promise you, I did try using lots of different things before that. But please, I urge you to explore it wholeheartedly, and I promise, you will be rewarded. Accept it with all its intrinsic beauty and unavoidable flaws. I guarantee it - you will never regret that.
People were using the internet for useful things from pretty much day 1, and technology adoption curves have only compressed over time. It may have took a decade or two for the internet to become popular, but it only took a few years for smartphones to become popular, or social media, or for ridesharing to usurp the taxi industry.
You are applying your ego and identity to this. The poster above you is correct, it’s just boxes.

And, why wouldn’t it just be boxes? You screens are just small little boxes (pixels), and everything you put on it takes up an area of pixels.

My 70 year old Democrat immigrant Muslim mom is forwarding me Bill Maher segments and complaining about cancel culture of Facebook. She texted me approvingly when Trump banned critical race theory in the federal government.

Yes, this is how Trump, or someone similar, gets elected.
This is interesting. I plugged them into Google ngram viewer. Whitelist was almost unused until 2000. Blacklist came into use right after the Reconstruction era (may or may not mean anything), but it has two peaks in use: WWI and WWII. I was expecting McCarthyism, but it wasn't as popular as during major wars.
But "guys" is not the plural of "guy" in many regional dialects of US English. It is specifically gender neutral, and used by women to speak to a group of women -- e.g. a girls' soccer coach saying to her team, "Let's go guys!"

So a because a term in one language doesn't have one to one translation with the exact same connotations in another we have to make up a new term? Seems more like a this would simply make the case for folks to become a loan word rather than creating a new term altogether. there are many words in other languages that don't have a direct translation to a English term we don't make up a new word in those cases.
That's true, but so did C compilers at the time. And most software didn't actually make use of it - they didn't have to, because Turbo Pascal had e.g. pointer arithmetic as powerful as in C.

But anyway, we were talking about the real world software on microcomputers, not just standards in the abstract. With that in mind, I think TP/BP is a better example of Pascal in the wild than anything Wirth ever made.

I think there is a chance that long-covid may result from a secondary virus and it's interaction with Sars. It may also be due to a lack of virus and no interaction I suppose.

> Can you explain to me the utility I get from raising my kid

This is deeply instinctive - if you don't feel this, most likely you have been deeply mindfucked by modern society. Evolution, obviously, ensures that you get rewarded with lots of utils for doing the single most important thing you can do from an evolutionary perspective.

I'm not saying you've done anything wrong; this isn't your fault. But just try to imagine someone from a healthy society (in the sense of "the society is not at risk of collapse") asking a question like "what, exactly, do I get out of having children?"

Even in unhealthy societies like ours, if you can convince people to raise children, they almost uniformly report higher life satisfaction (both vs people who don't have children and vs themselves before having children).
I personally like using “blocklist” instead of “blacklist” but that paper is pretty terrible. It seems more like an opinion piece with a bunch of references to give it authority.

Here’s a critical piece of the “evidence” presented:

“In this context, it is worth examining the origins of the term “blacklist” from the Douglas Harper Etymology Dictionary, which states that its origin and history is:

n.

also black-list, black list, “list of persons who have incurred suspicion,” 1610s, from black (adj.), here indicative of disgrace, censure, punishment (attested from 1590s, in black book) + list (n.). Specifically of employers’ list of workers considered troublesome (usually for union activity) is from 1888. As a verb, from 1718. Related: Blacklisted; blacklisting. [32]

It is notable that the first recorded use of the term occurs at the time of mass enslavement and forced deportation of Africans to work in European-held colonies in the Americas.”

Seriously? We clearly need to rethink the whole academic publishing process.

You didn't bother to engage with the actual examples she gave, e.g. "It’s also a problem if as an instructor you’re using language that suggests that certain arguments are trivial or that this is something that everybody learned in kindergarten. These are tropes that mathematicians like to use, and I think they’re very alienating to people who, for one reason or other, did not learn about modular arithmetic in kindergarten." - this is, in my experience, a very valid point. It doesn't have to be that way, it's merely correlated with how many mathematicians teach.
Reasonable minds lost this battle already. Cancel everything, burn all the books, this is the new way.
I’m pretty sure that this one will fail on constitutionality grounds, as it unfairly targets companies like Apple and Google over others. Why should Sony or Microsoft get to be left out?

But As soon as they try to make it survive the unfairness problem, then all game companies come into play, and all local vendors who preclude anyone else from coming into their site and setting up alternative payment schemes.
No. Net gain is extracted from a pool of limited energy. All participants in such an exchange must lower the entropy of the universe to produce either a concrete or abstract product. This costs energy.

As long as the rate of extraction of energy is lower than the rate of replenishment of energy then that net transaction seemingly produces a net gain.

However the minute Rate of extraction of energy exceeds the rate of replenishment someone loses because the energy you use cannot be used by someone else. For example the entire population of the world using as much energy as the people in the United States is unsustainable.

In short the participants in the transaction didn't lose. Someone else outside of the transaction lost.
That’s a funny thing. In the US the “c word” is probably the nuclear option. I know the UK and related usage is a bit more mild.

The preponderance of research suggests that modern humans in high-IQ societies are substantially K-overselected.

> Isn't the whole idea of capitalism supposed to be that eBay's delisting is an opportunity for ten other websites specializing in obscure Dr. Seuss books to pop up and eat their business?

It is. And don't get me wrong: eBay's well within their rights to restrict what people can buy and sell on their platform. It's just weird that this is where they draw the line; the message here seems to be "we're totally fine with selling things depicting racist caricatures, except for these old children's books".

That is: eBay having the right to do something does not make them above criticism or scrutiny.

And only if that comes back negative, do a whois. If you're really paranoid, run your own recursive DNS, so your recursive hits the TLD servers itself. TLD servers aren't going to log checks for names they don't have; they've got better things to do; registry whois servers probably aren't going to log either, but whois shows more intent than DNS queries.

Do any of the comments actually make that conclusion? The other comment you replied to is the only one I saw that even comes close, but it mentions "if you can offer office hours..." so the poster clearly knew the "office hours" idiom.
Can you give a more coherent comparison? For example, between a term search in DDG HTML vs the JS version or DDG HTML vs Google.

Comparing the search results page with a wikipedia page is hardly any sort of evidence.

On a side note, saying "as an engineer" doesn't mean anything on HN, especially if you don't even say what type of engineer you are.
I went to the Seuss museum a couple years ago (Springfield MA). Quite delightful.

I think the company (trust?) just decided it wasn’t worth it. The books aren’t the big sellers.

They’re not shutting down Seuss world in Orlando. Other books still exist. Honestly probably a good publicity move for them to sell books to those who wouldn’t have bought anyway.

Yes, black vs white is a very old concept. Why do you think europeans started referring to people from africa as black and themselves as white, when they are really more like pink and brown?
Only 30% of Latinos have even heard the term Latinx. Using the term is a problem because it’s alienating for someone to use a term for you that you’ve never heard before. Out of the 30% who have heard it, 2/3 think it shouldn’t be used to describe Latinos. Be respectful of people and don’t call them some weird thing some professor made up that the vast majority of affected people either don’t recognize or actively don’t want used to refer to them.

Personally, I don't see what the issue is with master/slave for databases. Of course it's a terrible and immoral relationship to have between two humans, but that doesn't render the words themselves immoral when used descriptively in a completely different context.

By the same logic, shouldn't it be offensive to refer to the "owner" of a house? Or the "torturous" path up the mountain? Can we also not "kill" a process? Or run a "headless" browser? Or talk about a project being a "death march"?
Wow these books... suck. The ones I read as a kid, namely "If I Ran The Circus" and "Green eggs and ham" are way better than these, in terms of rhyming and illustration. No wonder they fell out of popularity.

I thought this way when I started working, but I'm grudgingly coming around. It's easiest to keep a house clean out of respect for the people you live with. It's easiest to consistently dress and groom well when you're meeting people whose opinions you value. It's easiest to stick to exercise when it's an appointment with other people. You will cook and eat best in social and family meals.

A little bit of social exposure helps everyone to be their best selves. Mad respect to people who truly don't need this. But it makes sense that the workplace is adapted for those who do.
Yet religious texts straight-out telling people to kill other people for inconceivable reasons are still published and sold daily.

There's a third option that is neither "publicly align myself with extremists" nor "publicly align myself with the grey area in between", and that is not to participate in the game at all.

Also, I've been on the receiving end of a mob before; "you can only get cancelled once" wasn't exactly true for me. Sure, the public figures who initially called you out will stop eventually -- they know when they've won the battle. But their followers? They're like that annoying kid at school who kept making the same joke long after it was ever considered funny. They'll happily continue harassing you until the end of time (or until you're able to make yourself disappear).

Yeah, I think it's open to interpretation: my reading of "Nat" is it could be short for Natalie, so by that logic, "Jane" wouldn't necessarily be stupid just because she's a woman (which I assume is what the potential complaint would be?)

Someone mentioned the depiction of the eyes was problematic, but other characters also have similar eyes and moreover, Japanese woodcuts as well as other East Asian art use similar eye representation[1]. It's a bit looney.

I'm going to share an unpopular response to one of the points in the article: For explicitly commercial terms, ordering results by who will pay the most (i.e. putting ads at the top) isn't any worse than the organic algorithm's ordering. That's because the organic algorithm doesn't really have a way to distinguish between different commercial offerings.

Take a search for "apartments in denver". There are ~10 online rental listing websites, all with roughly the same buildings on them and approximately equivalent user interfaces. In other words, it's hard to distinguish between them on the basis of content. Those ten sites are going to fill the first page of results, so the question is which ones get the top couple spots (and the bulk of the traffic.) Now, one of these may be the "best" result for you, but even you probably can't tell that in advance, and it's hard to imagine how Google's algorithms could discern whether apartments.com or forrent.com will have the perfect 1-bedroom with granite counters in your desired neighborhood.

All of those websites want to be in the top spot, so they spend a lot of money generating SEO-oriented content and trying to earn links from high quality sources. People talk about SEO as "free" traffic, but believe me -- for a competitive commercial term, you're paying for that traffic. You're just paying for it in an indirect, obfuscated way.

With that in mind, why not just have people pay for traffic directly? SEO lets sites spend (say) $1 million in an incredibly laborious way to earn the top spot on a bunch of terms and get 1 million clicks a year on those terms. Why not just let them spend that million with Google directly? The net result is less wasted effort.

Note that I'm only talking about clearly commercial terms.
Genuine, honest question. Are posts like this written by bot or bought propaganda? Nonspecific, knee-jerk overreaching generalizations, inspiring fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Who aims to gain, if it's the case? It's that incentive enough to warrant a smear campaign. I can't prove it. It just feels off. That's my hunch.
> people are really hostile about the idea of long hauling

Definitely, and true of any poorly understood illness. A common response when people hear about suffering without a simple explanation is fear and rejection. It reminds them of their mortality, it breaks their just-world hypothesis, and it forces them to be burdened with the knowledge that people suffer and we don't know why because the world is vastly more complex than we understand.

Many people would rather reject people's suffering than live with these feelings.

There's a family-run bakery near my house that specializes in cheesecakes. They make the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted.

I think the discussion about “master” started within the context of “master/slave” DBs.

“Master” has both a non-racist and racist definition. After seeing it used in the context of a “slave” DB, I can see why the innocence of the word was lost for many in the programming community.

Excuse me but "person" contains "son" in it which is indicative of gendered childhood, and heteronormative reproduction.

This is highly problematic for children and adults who identify as children who may be struggling with their gender identity; as well as those who chose to reproduce through non-sexual or non-heterosexual mechanisms.

If I see an ad for healing crystals on some rando website, then I just think the website is stupid.

When I saw one on Facebook I was insulted, because Facebook thinks I am the kind of person who is so stupid they believe in them. You can write this of as not actual harm because it is only emotions, but it had a negative impact on me, which I consider actual harm.
