It feels odd to portray the 2019 election as lost on "wokeism", or that Corbyn let that policy take over. By the end, Corbyn was the target of that crowd, being branded as an anti-semite for what amounts to "being too critical of Israel", and "being leader while being seen as too soft on others accused of anti-semitism".

Aside from that, the 2019 election was really a Brexit election. Labour failed to pick a side, and the Conservatives were promising to get Brexit done and were early enough in the negotiations that they could promise it would be a soft brexit or maximum brexit depending on which crowd they thought would hear their comments.
"master" has been in use for decades in the recording industry, the "record master" does not, and never did, have any slaves. This terminology was incorporated into software, back in the CD-ROM days, with their "gold master" from which copies would be produced.

Sure, but your normal immune response applies the same selective pressures and allows order of magnitude more replication prior to that giving the virus orders of magnitude more chances to come up with a mutation to circumvent them. Even without preventing infection entirely vaccination still seems drastically better than the alternative.
Having worked on the PL/1 and Assembler that formed the core accounting systems of a bank: yes.

I'm not sure where the 3 managers comes from.

Product manager (Product Owner in scrum), Senior Dev / Tech Lead, Dev1, Dev2, QA, and UI/UX Designer all report to Engineering manager.

Further, changing the mindset from "as a manager these reports work for me" to "as a manager I work for these reports" improves the feeling of ICs having "multiple managers". The managers job should largely be unblocking the ICs.

Diabetes itself is awful. Whether or not it's the leading descriptor makes no difference with that, and I'd rather just use the non awkward terminology ("I'm diabetic" rather than "I'm a person with diabetes".) It would feel almost patronizing if everyone started referring to me that way.

You are right. Smaller groups/tribes remember in many more countries. Like you said, skin color is maybe not the best example.

Take my situation: I am a German. Our slavery ("Leibeigener") cannot be seen in todays society. It cannot be seen by skin color or any other attribute.

I try to void the statement "Tell me a society which never had no slavery". My argument is: There are societies which had slaves which you cannot reflect in today society. No ones knows, no one is affected.

We have tons of other problems (like the Holocaust and tons of other crimes) we have to work on still today, but slavery among the German society (being a problem today) is no such problem. And I guess, there are many countries where this applies.

Jeremy Irons is fantastic in this film. The entire board room scene is amazing.

The way I view it is this. Given inflationary currency, if the overall world market is actually going downwards for a prolonged period of time, say a few decades, the events having lead to this are of such magnitude that the return of my investments is very likely the least of my concerns.
I don't know of any meaning of the "slave" word besides a person doing involuntary labor.

BTW I remember Russians translating master/slave (in the IT context, e.g. primary/secondary master/slave for IDE PATA drives) as the the leading and the led.
Yes. And there are enough places in the world where the "slaveowners" were those who, if I'd named them, I'd be immediately considered here as a "racist" for just mentioning the historical fact.

So... I guess we all have to learn that there are more contexts than just one.
It also doesn't explain why "black" was preferred for a time, then it was verboten, and now it's preferred but you have to capitalize it. Nor does it explain why "African-American" was required for a time even though many Black people don't identify as African, and it's obviously completely inappropriate to apply to a Black person who has never left the UK, but that's what was required nonetheless.

Scott Alexander's hypothesis explains all of that. Constant change is what makes fashion fashion, and fashion is a very effective way to discriminate between the in-group and the out-group.

The truth is that if you’re a manager who has no other marketable skills, you can only hate pointless meetings so much since without them you’d probably be putting your resume in down at the local Starbucks.

The article gets it: the problem isn't COBOL, the problem is lack of maintenance. The analogy is apt, too: if you never put oil in a car & it fails, the problem is not how the car the built.

There are materials for learning COBOL. Here are some materials from the Linux Foundation's Open Mainframe project:

https://www.openmainframeproject.org/projects/coboltrainingc...

And when there was a call last year for COBOL programmers to help some of these aging systems, a lot of people immediately popped up: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ibm-linux-foundation-se...

While COBOL has its quirks, it's not that hard to learn. It even has some advantages, for example, it has built-in support for fixed-point decimal arithmetic.

In general, COBOL is the scapegoat, not the actual problem.

> Liberal has not meant capitalism for a very long time, not in europe or anywhere else. Maybe if you say libertarian it still does.

“liberal” very much means capitalism in most European political discourse or really most places outside of the -U.S.A.

Consider that even on Wikipedia, where non-U.S.A. politics is discussed, the term is typically so used:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Party_for_Freedom_a...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Australia

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Democratic_Party_(Germany...

> I really don't think europeans think the left in american are really "right". Europe is not further left than the american left.

It is quite a common sentiment one hears from European that from their perspective all U.S.A. politics is right wing.

Consider that there are very few European countries where even the most right wing parties would ever suggest such a system as at-will employment, which is pervasive throughout the U.S.A., and which neither party has shown any desire to end. — it is really seen as quite dystopian from a European perspective.

To say that Europe is not further left is a very strange claim. You will find no European country, or many developed countries at all, with the following, which are common to universal in the U.S.A.:

- The right of employers to terminate without first seeking approval from an employment court or similar organ

- A lack of universal healthcare

- A lack of universal access to higher education

- The legal allowance of advertising drugs

- Non-defaultable student loans

- Very low minimum wages

- Waivability of refund rights

Such things are generally considered extremely capitalist in most developed nations, but are quite normal in the U.S.A..

> Grrr, what does european even mean. It's like 40 different governments and countries. All with different cultures.

And you will find that in each and every one of them healthcare is a universal right, at will employment does not exist, and drugs cannot be advertised, and probably many more of what I listed.

It is not that Europe is so culturally homogeneous, it is that the U.S.A. is very exceptional in how capitalist it is. You will also not find most of these things in, say, Canada, or Australia, or any other developed nations. — the U.S.A. is rather unique in how much it indulges the big man at the expense of the little man, and neither party seems particularly interested in implementing changes that would bring it to a similar balance that the rest of the developed world enjoys.

I think so too. Even people who are able to spend a dollar or two on an app are unwilling.

I learned at 43. Got my first developer job at 44. This description rings true for me.

Persistence in the face of frustrations along with an actual enjoyment of creating things with code is what got me through.

Programming seems like it would be a dreadful job for someone who didn't get some satisfaction out of typing code and then watching as your code does stuff. Definitely not for everyone.

In my case, I didn't start out wanting to learn programming. I wanted to create a web site for a business idea I had. To do that, I started learning javascript and python. Pretty soon I realized that I was much more interested in learning more about programming and web development than I was about my business idea and that I'd rather get paid by someone else with a business idea to write some code.
>The reason the MSM puts out news is to sell advertising

I'm pretty skeptical about that. The major media outlets have significant influence over the political ideas that circulate through the electorate. In a democracy, that means having a lot of influence over which candidates are viable in elections, which, given how powerful governments are, is worth quite a lot more than ad revenue.

Why do you think Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post? Do you think he was after the ad revenue?
The expression

int a, b, c;

is not a use of the comma operator. This is using a comma as a separator, like in a function call.

The purpose of the comma operator is to add a sequence point between its left hand side and right hand side. The return value of the left hand side expression is discarded and the entire expression evaluates to the right hand side's value and type.
The 401k concept has created a demand/supply imbalance and will continue to do so until as many people start cashing out as putting in. Massive government spending and, low interest rates, and other incentives have also dumped a lot of money in the market. Once these demand-increasing trends end, it will be all over. I'm amazed at how long the fiction has been sustained.

> On a more technical and pedantic level, having a "master" branch really doesn't make any sense without slave branches.

The reason master branches are called master branches is as an analogy to a music/record "master", which means "the original, the truest, the canonical".

(In an analog world where every copy necessitated deterioration, there was a need to say "this is THE version").

So git master branches meant the same thing: canonical. That's why the name "makes sense" even though there are no slave branches.

Just adding this here out of a sense of duty for historical accuracy, and not commenting on the name change itself.

The state of all network firewalls/routers is appalling. Even high end Cisco, Fortinet, or even Palo Alto gear is riddled with security issues, critically outdated packages, and general poor maintenance.

IMO, the only way to have a reasonably secure device is to build it yourself. That's not going to be a popular opinion where the prevailing motto is "nobody gets fired for buying Cisco", but I don't really see any alternative. OpenWRT/Tomato are decent, but they still expose a web UI which is potentially a greater attack surface than ssh w/ public keys.

I've seen some people have good results with OpenBSD or FreeBSD, others with skinny versions of Debian or CentOS. I took a crack at it last year on Debian (shameless plug: https://nbailey.ca/post/linux-firewall-ids/), and I've been happy with it so far. It is more expensive to build, but I expect this device to last more than a decade, or until I need greater than 1gbps per port.

I dunno man, communism is different.

About 25% of the world population are Muslims, roughly 25% of modern countries are predominantly Muslims, yet as you wrote in the comment, ISIL is a small percentage in both space and time.

For communist countries, these atrocities seem more like a rule than an exception. Soviet Union, countries of Eastern Block in 20-th century, China – they all did horrible things.

Wikipedia’s articles about fascism and nazism do mention war crimes and genocides, rightfully so. Yet Wikipedia’s article about communism does not. They do have two links in the “Related topics” section, but other links in that section aren’t particularly related, they also link to capitalism and trade union there.

About a year ago I decided no more crappy plastic boxes as my main home router, and now use a headless Linux PC instead. No regrets and have plenty of resources to run things like ntopng and anything I need right at the edge of my home network; and QoS is something I can control as well.

I don't care about the small increase in cost of electricity where I'm at.

Now I do also have an Asus RT-AC56U but configured for an access point only. Which had pretty decent firmware IMHO with it's OpenWRT variant "AsusWRT"--decent because it's easy to get root without flashing it and really do what you want. With all the cloud service stuff disabled, it goes into a 2nd NIC into my PC-as-a-router and is appropriately firewalled.
