Right. You just do it on the server. Okay?
This is 2021. Talking about transsexuals has become like saying the name Voldemort. Choosing to associate with these people puts your livelihood at risk. At this point, I actively avoid liberal groups.

Generally you should be able to replace “i.e.” with “that is” and have your sentence make sense and follow grammar rules. Similarly you should be able to replace “e.g.” with “for example.”

It’s generally ok to write “namely” or “to wit” where you might write “that is [to say]” although “to wit” isn’t very common. For example:

> We use a primitive programming language, namely C++.

> We use a primitive programming language, that is to say C++.

> we mainly use a primitive programming language. C++, that is.

> we mainly use a primitive programming language, to wit C++
>The neuter gender is very old indeed, arguably older than the other two genders. Through the systematic comparison of ancient languages, we believe that Proto-Indo-European, in its oldest reconstructable state, had only two gender-like categories for its nouns: animate and inanimate (that is, for moving and not-moving things). It was the inanimate that became the neuter gender in its descendant languages, while the animate would later split into two further genders. This is the system that Latin inherited.

That is super interesting to me. But I wonder how they defined moving versus non-moving things? At first I was thinking moving meant living things like animals, but a car moves. Of course, they didn't have cars/trains/etc. back then. But they did have boats (probably). Are boats moving or non-moving? And there are certain animals that don't ever move (especially in the oceans). Would they be moving or non-moving?

It was her father...who she chose to employ as her campaign manager AFTER it was already known about his crimes.

It wasn't just someone in her extended friend circle or a passing acquaintance.

I think she shouldn't be treated as a pedophile. I think she should be treated warily in positions that involve youth. That feels like a pretty reasonable concern.
The fact that the 15-minute city will not work everywhere does not mean that there is no place it can work. I live in a major city on the east coast of the United States, and I have it now. There are other cities in which it could be implemented. There are regions of my city in which it can not be implemented. But it's worth doing where possible.

There will be various solutions to our energy and pollution problems, and some of the variations will depend on the region the solution is being implemented in. I don't think solar power will be as big in Canada as in, say, the Sahara Desert.
There is a galaxy of difference between offensive speech and child rape.
> Absolutely; I didn't mean to underplay how privileged I still am

Just to be clear, I was all but certain we were in agreement, and I didn't think you were (deliberately) leaving anyone out. What I wrote was more of a "this is gonna suck...for most of us...pretty damn soon...and we all know it...and that sucks."
+1. I get to be aggressive and do a 100% stocks allocation. Heck, I can even do sensible (I'm talking 1.25x-1.33x) levels of leverage. I get to invest in crypto. I get to borrow a fairly expensive mortgage. Etc.

Not so fast in that claim.

First of all the infringing file is https://github.com/minad/mimemagic/blob/master/script/freede.... Sure, it is in XML. But it contains a tremendous amount of free-form text, specific sets of pattern matching rules for the data types, and so on. It is a compilation of sometimes original research on the best ways to detect file types. Ruby has other mime libraries. The reason why this one was chosen is that its detection algorithms make better choices. And the reason that they make better choices is that they copied the decision rules from a GPLed project.

But even if it were a simple compilation, it still is not guaranteed that there is no copyright. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_in_compilation for an introductory article on what can and can't be copyrighted about a compilation. And one of the elements that matters is creativity in the selection of the material. A set of rules with a lot of "look for this" while leaving out various reasonable thats that don't work so well shows considerable creativity.

That said, a judge may decide otherwise. You never know until a judge decides. But I would not presume that there is no copyright interest to be had here.
Do you think someone associated with pedophilia should be in a position of power moderating comments by and about youth?
It's common for factual texts from the classical era to be written in verse, though less so in Rome than in India, where it was nearly universal. The Bakhshali manuscript: all verse. Panini's grammar: all verse. Most of the Tripitaka is in verse, too. Perhaps the reason is to make it feasible to memorize them, which doesn't require access to scarce writing materials, so that you can study them.
This is likely unpopular, but I don't care for any of the laws regarding hate crimes. I do think hate crimes are awful, but I can't find a good reason why someone shooting their neighbor because of their race/religion/gender/etc is worse than shooting them because they don't like the color their neighbor painted their house or because they slept with their SO or whatever it may be.

I do get that racially motivated crimes can create fear among whatever demographic has been targeted. On the other hand, that sounds like terrorism, which we have laws prohibiting.

At the end of the day, hate crime laws end up looking like they're toeing the line of "thought crimes" to me. Robbing a store is bad, but if you decide to rob a store run by Latinx people because you (probably wrongly) blame them for losing your job is worse. But if you blame WalMart for losing your job and decide to rob a WalMart to get back at them, that's somehow better in the eyes of the law.

I just don't see the need to delineate. I'm totally open to changing that view though; someone else (or everyone else) may have found a way to reason about that that I haven't though of.

I'm generally opposed to these kinds of "under these circumstances, it's worse" laws though. I don't like DUI laws for the same reason. We already have reckless operation laws in most states. If someone kills another person through their reckless driving, I doubt their loved ones care whether it was because of alcohol, lack of sleep or playing on a phone. Why is swerving between lanes because you're drunk terrible, but swerving between lanes because you haven't slept in 2 days is just a slap on the wrist? Ticket/arrest people based on the threat they pose to others, not based on the threat they pose multiplied by some "we don't like that" factor.
I can agree on redux hooks being a better alternative to the whole mapToState cycle. But if you go into the new tutorials, they quickly devolve into the same old: https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-8-modern-re...

Oh, look, slices, and thunks, and asyncThunks, and extraReducers, and adapters, and fifteen files to tie all this together for every small piece of api or data that you want to send around.

Most of it just comes from the fact that Javascript doesn't have a good built-in way of doing these cycles fo data/store updates. And still, I don't know where the sweet spot of Redux it: it's an overkill for small apps, it's unmanageable in big apps.

However, I will concede that the new hooks like `useDispatch` are nice

They can work with something else than being an admin on one of the largest social media sites in the world, or a politician influencing public policy, or really anything with power over others. There's plenty of other options available.
I didn’t want the guy fired though. I wanted Reddit to admit that this is the latest in a pattern of site mismanagement. The guy can stay if he likes, doesn’t really bother me.

Same story with StackOverflow. Even with their apology, I no longer have faith in their ability to run their site, Monica being employed or not.
I wonder if pacing while on the phone is related.
Actually, the biggest European cities were designed to withstand medieval battles.

All the things attributed to the American car-centric lifestyle were a thing to some degree everywhere. Then people got tired of it and changed it. Probably Europe not having much petrol also helped, which also explains the tendency of the European cars having significantly smaller and efficient engines.

There are plenty of cool videos of European cities that used to be traffic hells that turned into bicycle friendly walkable places. Though admittedly the hell part still exist for those who choose the to drive the cars.
Were they experienced at breaking ciphers?

Plenty of smart people don't jump straight to a solution when seeing a ROT13 ciphertext, whereas I think most people who are experienced would realize pretty quickly there seems to be a simple transformation going on.

That is flat out incorrect. Even in places that use only coal to generate electricity, EV CO2 emissions per mile are lower than gas vehicle emissions. See for yourself:

Couldn't they have at least done the rapid antigen test when they came in for their second dose?

Maybe I'm underestimating complexity (typical for an outsider), but just seemed surprising to me when I heard that.
I don't think they're worried about China's military so much as China's independence from the rest of the semiconductor supply chain. When you give China a machine, it's only a matter of time before they reverse engineer it and make something slightly worse but much cheaper. This kind of theft is backed by the government. So the expectation that they will remain forever dependent upon ASML is wishful thinking.

"cancel culture" is just the flashy new way for people to try to downplay the offensive past actions and find a way to criticize the reaction as going too far.

I think removing this person from employment in a role that involves youth/children given their past actions and associations seems like a reasonable reaction, NOT "cancel culture"
> complex woke activism

To me this list of people and organizations are not some silly knights of "woke activism", they are people who'd feel misrepresented by RMS due to his beliefs. I'd not be so dismissive to that. We try to make software a more inclusive place. We being: people organizing conferences, the companies that create software and the FLOSS movement as well. Having someone in a position believing what he is accused of is a real problem.

I just want to know if he can come around to his beliefs, or if he sticks to them. He came around with beliefs concerning the "age of sexual consent" and how that should not matter. I find people's ability to come around when presented with evidence a good thing.

Hence, I hope he responds with a defense.
As an early adopter from the Digg exodus, I haven't really enjoyed Reddit in the past 2 years or so.
I don’t know much about how Reddit mods and Admins are organised but I have been an active Reddit user for 15 years (which is scary to admit).

What’s clear is these days the popular parts of Reddit are very much “controlled discourse” which largely follow the same narratives as mainstream media. I think the tipping point was Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign, where Reddit showed it could have a significant impact on voting. After that it slowly merged with mainstream media Opinion.

What enabled some of that could well have been the vetting (or lack of) of admins / employees who in turn have some ability to influence who the moderates big subreddits.
Just a heads up, some reports I read about starlink says it only works in one zone. So you potentially can't travel and maintain service. Someone did say they thought that was just during the trial phase, though.
Exactly. They went to extensive lengths to set up complex filtering to suppress linking any information about this employee's background. Yet, at the same time, they claim that the employee's background came as a surprise to them. It's bordering on self-contradictory.

One issue - real estate prices going up is not 'economic gain', its a drain on productive population. Nothing is actually produced in the real economy

Imagine we talked about anything else like that: 'bread is getting more expensive by the minute in Germany" - thats not a sign of doing well.

We all pay for this real estate not just in rent, every time we get a coffee a good chunk of that price is paying someone else's rent. In wages.

Just because you are a homeowner does not mean its in your interest for realestate to go up, any more than if you own a fridge it would be in your interest for fridge prices to go up. Anyone who ever plans to trade up to a bigger home, has kids that will need to buy a house, or needs local economy to function does not benefit net from house prices going up. The only time you profit is if you are a massive landowner or real estate business.

Its literally blood-sucking leech

The economy is doing well when neccessities of life such as housing, food, etc. Are as cheap as possible and then you do not spend 90% of your effort and income just to keep wolf from the door.

This disconnect between how we thing about housing and other goods is like a collective madness of oursociety
Fire the person who hired her.
This is a topic that is talked about in academia quite a bit (I have a master in supply chain management)

The main problem with trains is that you - naturally - have low flexibility in terms of where you can deliver goods. You are relying on trucks for the last-mile pick-up & delivery for the majority of trips. You might need to load/onload 4-6 times going from truck > train > truck. Because of the time & costs associated with switching mode of transport, these intermodal alternatives become uncompetitive compared to a single door-to-door delivery via truck, even for fairly long distances.

The logistics providers will optimize for lower cost over lower pollution, so intermodal transport via train can be hard to justify unless the customer is willing to pay for it in terms of money or time.
I’ll bite too. Do you not deserve or not have said rights? Both qualifications have cultural underpinnings but each reflect different stages of a rights statement lifecycle.
There are also "subsoilers" that you can pull behind a tractor that kind of lifts up the soil 36" deep and then drops it creating breaks.
Last year two of reddits biggest users (and mods) were accused of being Ghislaine Maxwell. The accounts were u/maxwellhill and u/anutensil. It shocked me how quickly those stories sunk, and how some of the stories derided it as conspiracy-minded drivel.

Well, it's been almost a year since, and the accounts still haven't posted since Ghislaine was arrested.
I don't think that "A person who has strong ties to paedophiles, defends paedophilia, and for who there exists a reasonable suspicion of being a paedophile themselves, should not be in a position or authority over a website where they have incredible reach to youth and teens" counts as cancel culture.

Especially not when Reddit admins can likely see private correspondence between users and can definitely see personally identifying information about them.
Well, be more specific. "Associated with pedophilia" ranges all the way to a child rape conviction.

Do I think someone who once hired a pedophile should be treated like one? No. Does the law or legal ethics think so? No.
You seemed to go out of your way to use misgendered pronouns in your comment, which isn't cool. You don't have to like a person to refer to her the way everybody sees her. At the very least it avoids confusion.
> IIRC, amongst banned heroes were key splitpush heroes such as Nature's Prophet and Tinker, which are a known counter to the early-game advantage, mid-game push strategy that the OpenAI 5 executed.

Tinker is an example of a hero that took (and still takes) a lot of gold to useful. If you're drafting tinker to stop early game push strats you're going to have a bad time. If anything Tinker is actually an example of an hero that the AI would probably excel at, the same goes for any micro dependent hero.

In general including heroes that excel with great mechanics is a poor way to evaluate how well the AI actually plays the game. No one doubts an AI can send inputs faster than humans.
Can we just stop caring about the FSF entirely?
Obviously I haven't read much yet but skimming through it for 5 minutes I am impressed with what I see. Great work!

One thing I feel is missing, a PDF preview of a few pages so I can see how it looks in the digital edition. Not a huge deal so don't stress about it but I always like to preview ebooks for some reason. I may be alone here tho :)

Really though great work. I am especially impressed at the effort you put into getting a dev environment "up and running" on Windows, Linux and macOS.
No, Randy Farmer and Chip Morningstar coined the word "avatar" for virtual characters in 01986, and Snow Crash wasn't published until 01992: http://habitatchronicles.com/2008/08/on-language-avatar-nyti...
okay? so what's the rebuttal if I, someone who has also played dota for over a decade, say it _is_ important?

the game is balanced around the entire roster. in a pool of 17 heroes, the answers to the locally optimal strategy likely don't even exist within said subset. drafting proper compositions, adapting to the opponent's heroes, and dynamically changing your gameplan during the match are all part of actual playing ability.
> if you're worried about the rise of China's military then you should be tangling their economy up more with that of the West so that they have more reasons not to go to war rather than driving them to be self sufficient.

Military power, like all other things, is based on economic might. If you want to slow the rise of China's military while it remains a totalitarian system then allowing further economic integration between the West and China is a silly idea compared to using sanctions to decouple two economies over time.

Though the rise of China's military is definitely not the reason why economic decoupling and sanctions should be deeply considered.

It would take years (even decades) to duplicate ASML machines. At least in the absence of unprecedented tech transfer (most likely through hacking and HumInt work). It's no where near a foregone conclusion that banning ASML exports won't slow down SMIC's attempts to build leading edge nodes that get used to supply China's military.
I guess that means they didn't try to find other users from their contacts, didn't set a profile picture and didn't post any videos.

Do you mean to say that a "plethora of women" was exactly one alleged claim by one woman that RMS had said he would kill himself unless she went out with him on a date?

If it is true then that was bad, and I am sure that gave him a reputation that on a campus likely burned like a wild fire (it sure would do that on my university if anyone said something like that), but what is an appropriate reaction be now several decades later?

The second thing the appendix listed was a mattress in his office whose primary user were most likely RMS himself since he kind of had a reputation of living in the university.

We still very much use freight trains. But they don't go everywhere, and managing a network of train traffic has its own overhead. Each car in a train has to go to the same place. To transfer to another train to take a different sub-route takes time. Then, you also have to unload the payload at the destination and still complete the journey with a truck.
My suggestion is that adding a mini-DSL for parsing nested functions as nested tests is less readable for the average Python programmer who has not seen that plugin before.

And I've never had a problem with reading class names vs. function names; we do that all the time when reading Python code.

I think this is clearly in the realm of subjective preference for what "looks nicer", which I'd call aesthetics.

On the other hand, this probably breaks your IDE's pytest integration, which would be an objective material downside.

Whatever floats your boat though, definitely not a hill I'd die on.
One of the worst tings about this is the kind of protective actions they employed. It seems like they made a filter that automatically banned anyone mentioning a certain name, in order to protect that person from harassment. They didn't care about whether the comment was harassing or not, they didn't warn the person making the comment, they simply removed it and banned them. Very heavy handed and sloppy, and I think there's something they're not telling. They knew there would be reactions about this person and thought they could hide them. The person got employed in December and the filter was added in March.
That's where public transport comes in.
