Probably more than that we can't sustain population growth like we have over the last century. Blaming capitalism is easy, but the more nuanced, difficult, and important conversation about population still languishes as taboo.

> This is why no-code and low code are so much more successful than developers tooling startups in terms of revenue and profitability

These are developer tools though, just marketed differently. "No-code" and "low code" are simply fancy terms for high level languages, and the developers in this case are people without little or no experience in traditional programming languages.

The new Mulan is also much less feminist than the previous. The last one had a great lesson: It is thought only men can be warriors, but it turns out that through hard work and wit, a woman can be the best warrior.

The new lesson: If you're a woman with magic powers you can overcome sexism and become great.
And anchors are glorified game show hosts. Access media journalists rarely press for answers and don’t often ask follow up questions. Journalists need to make less money and there needs to be more of them locally. The more journalists are just rich celebrities they get class solidarity with the people they should be trying to hold accountable. Their kids go to the same schools as the elite. They’re too cozy with the people who hold power.
The problem with this attack is that you have to drop the 6c file in your PATH for it to work, because otherwise you need to use ./ for it to execute. This makes the attack pointless because if the attacker can drop something to your PATH, you're already pwned since the attacker can just name his payload "ls" and wait for you to execute it.

All the systems you mentioned have more far more white men than the US as a whole, so are you arguing that white men hate themselves?

US: 60% white[1]; 49% male[1]; ~31% white & male[2]

Media: 75% white[3]; 50% white & male

Academia: 40% white & male[4]

College Professors: 53% white & male[5]

House: 73% white[5]

Senate: 89% white[5]

All elected offices in the US in 2014: 65% white & male[2]

President: 100% white & male

I'm too lazy to keep going, but I feel like I've made my point. Neither white people nor white men are underrepresented in any position of power or wealth. So how can it be that these systems (that people in their demographic control) are against them?

>We have a responsibility for the effects of our actions. There is a practical limit to how far we can take worrying about those effects, but that doesn't mean the responsibility goes away.

Doesn't it? I might sneeze and inadvertantly cause a typhoon in Malaysia through the butterfly effect but I can't possibly know or predict that, so how can I take responsibility for it? What does "responsibility" even mean if it's practically outside of your control?

I would argue that the limits of our responsibility are defined by practical limitations. We can't take responsibility for accidental negatives, any more than we can take credit for accidental positives. If you tried to account for your entire impact on the universe, regardless of the practicality, you'd be paralysed with indecision.

What makes a figure like Rush Limbaugh a tragedy?
I don't think the US Constitution is anything particularly special. I've never understood how some Americans seem to be in love with the document. Thankfully nobody feels that way about Australia's constitution.

Both constitutions contain racially discriminatory clauses, although in both cases they are either repealed, spent, or disregarded in practice. At least in Australia's case there is talk about removing the last of those. To fully remove those clauses from the US Constitution would require moving away from the "stick-amendments-on-the-end" model to actually changing the original text.

And that odd approach of sticking the amendments on the end instead of changing the actual text is probably one of the most distinctive aspects of the US constitution today. It achieves nothing except making the document harder to follow. Can you imagine how difficult it would be if other legislation was maintained in that fashion?

I think the decision in the US constitution to replace the Westminster parliamentary system with a presidential system was a step backward. Donald Trump is a good example of what a presidential system can lead to. Parliamentary systems like the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand avoid that because you can't become the leader of the country without a majority support from legislators, which makes it much harder for fringe/out-there characters like Trump (or Jair Bolsonaro).

It is nothing about being a monarchy vs a republic. You can have a parliamentary republic in which you have a non-political president appointing a political prime minister who commands support from a majority of the national legislature – that's exactly the system used in Ireland, Germany and Israel, among other countries. It is also what was proposed in the failed 1999 Australian republic referendum, and I'm sure eventually Australia will become a republic and it will be a parliamentary republic not a presidential one–the failure was largely due to a dispute about how to elect the President, but I think everyone wanted a non-political President appointing a Prime Minister, not an American-style political President–the dispute was just about whether to have that President elected by Parliament, as in Germany and Israel, or elected by the general public, as in Ireland.

(Israel did briefly experiment with something closer to the American system, in 1996–2003, with direct election of the PM, but the experiment was abandoned and is generally considered a failure.)

Ship blocking Suez Canal has been refloated, says maritime services company
I tried bringing it into some ports like Busan (South Korea), Kaohsiung (Taiwan) and Rotterdam (Netherlands) and it seems like it might be a tad large, but pretty close. It's also fun to roll it up to next to any intermodal rail terminals you know of to see all the containers next to one another.

Flax looks cool. I guess it thinks looking like Unity is an advantage, but I recommend that it feel free to split from Unity's design and make something unique.

Little crafty trick: grab the flickr dataset (yfcc100m) and snag photos tagged as whatever you want. It's like a janky google image search. I've put together datasets of airplanes, bicycles, dogs, etc this way.

It's not entirely accurate, but it's good enough. Within a few hours you can have a pretty large dataset of whatever you want, really. (Yay for massive dataset plus user tags.)

You can snag a copy from my server, if you want. (Warning: It's a direct link to a 54GB json file.) https://battle.shawwn.com/sdc/f100m/yfcc100m_dataset.json

I have a script called "janky-image-search" that returns random results from searching this dataset. Here are a few random hits for `janky-image-search ceiling`:

But as you can see, it's not effortless. Most of those ceilings are old. So it depends what you want. It's why labeled data is worth billions of dollars (scale.ai et al).
The paper "Applying Design by Contract" by Bertrand Meyer shows how DbC is to be used. It is sufficient to have only preconditions turned on by default in "release" mode, others are optional.

My thumb rule is to have all preconditions/postconditions/invariants turned on only in the boundary functions (i.e. public api) of a module while the inner cohesive functions only have preconditions turned on.
I wonder if you could use another model that describes music and feed that text into this one?

Even something based on spotify's music labeling api would be super interesting!

I think that's too speculative. I haven't heard her publicly talk about sexism in a way that would make me think that's how she views the world.
So that means they are no longer like that. Then it's not fair to say they "have been antagonist from the start", right? Imagine putting that same label on Japan because they were imperialist.
That's how a German friend of mine living in Germany referred to it. He called it "german love of precision".

There, I'm an American, I value liberty at the cost of things being lightly organized chaos, Germans value precision, the Brits seem to value queuing up for things (I tease). Our national zeitgeist does become reflected back into our culture.
It does seem that the compass heading of the ship is now closer to parallel with the canal. One of the things I wonder about (this all comes from AIS data), is that I have observed some ships only have accurate compass headings on marinetraffic and vesselfinder for the 'arrow' of direction when they are underway, at 4-5 knots or more, and other ships such as this one show compass headings when they are at a dead stop.

It's not a direct match, but I think you'd be fascinated by aspects of Plan9's model. It certainly comes closer to what you've described than Unix does. Depending on exactly what you mean or you're envisioning, it might be really close.

The problem, of course, is this either breaks existing software or requires new software to be written from scratch to utilize the new frameworks. This was (one of) the reasons plan9 never gained much traction, and the big hurdle for any contender to the TTY/shell throne.

(It's also worth pointing out microsoft themselves reworked their terminal interfaces to be more unix-like for this very reason -- software compatibility)
What's worse is that Man A, in this case, is even more unscrupulous, has a bigger legal war chest at their disposal, and lobbyists and associates in power across the justice and political systems.

I’ve given this a lot of thought over the years and the biggest conclusion I have is that there’s no real “killer feature” in any of this that makes it spectacular, and maintaining backwards compatibility would be critical to let anybody use it. Still, I like the idea of splitting each command into a separate PTY, I wonder how good a TUI replacement for tmux built around this could be (yes, gotta start with the TUI before you think about a completely new GUI, again for the interop).
I'm an efficiency freak, so I understand what you're saying.

> I don't actually care what your underlying beliefs are as long as the point you are making is a coherent / valid one

I half agree, but for me it depends on the situation. If the point is purely logical or empirical, and a fully detailed argument is made or watertight evidence presented, then the speaker's other beliefs and values are irrelevant. But often things are a bit fuzzier, and it makes sense to take the speaker's identity and character into account when making a snap judgment on how seriously to take them. And there are social reasons to care as well; conversation usually isn't just about truth-seeking. Even if people would take my arguments equally seriously regardless, I would prefer not to imply alignment with a set of values I don't actually hold.
They don't have to suggest a solution to be valid. You are right, but they should at least discuss potential solutions.

Thinking of _just one_ potential solution would be evidence that they are acting in good-faith.

That's not what they are referring to. Powershell passes typed objects between cmdlets when pipes are used. This DEFINITELY better than plain text.

We've learned a lot since the unix philosophy was created. One of those things is that, if you want software that lasts, software that performs well, you need to be strongly typed.

Plain text is as far from strongly typed as you can get. Passing plain text between programs in 2020 goes against everything we've learned in the last 50 years.

It's not exactly a lucrative line of work as it stands. At the NYT, GlassDoor tells me they get paid $110k. It's a fine salary (although not quite so fine by New York standards), but that's at one of the most profitable papers in the country. The Orlando Sentinel apparently pays only around $50k.

My understanding is that almost no one drinks 100% Robusta, since it tastes something between burnt tire, wood (not in a good way, in a 'trying to bite raw timber' kind of way) and rubber. However it's very commonly used as, in a positive interpretation, to accentuate the taste of Arabica since it produces more 'crema' on espresso, and in a negative interpretation, as an adulterant to make coffee cheaper to produce.

asserts are just a language mechanism using which you implement preconditions/postconditions/invariants which are program correctness design constructs. Thus it is a systematic (i.e. not ad-hoc) way of using asserts correctly to guarantee program state.

I highly recommend reading Bertrand Meyer's papers "Applying Design By Contract" and "Design by Contract". They are well worth every programmer's time.

that's akin to saying, "so just because a gun misfired and almost blew your head off, you're just always going to be afraid of guns?"

in this case the gun being your career shattered by idiotic accusations of sexism in the form of calling out bad CSS. being called a sexist is almost like being called a racist. the accusation is enough for people to believe it to be true. so yes, a normal human being will instead be extremely wary, and rather than trying to shoot more guns in the future, will instead shy away from that experience entirely.

you seem to be posting in this thread everywhere that every man should just be a hero and after a close call with having their career derailed, they should continue on and ignore the past. realistically, this will never happen given the state of how society deals with these issues.

it's also a very privileged POV to have because if you're a father with a family/kids etc, the last thing you're likely to do is stick out like a sore thumb and continue doing the thing that almost made you lose your job and reputation in the industry.

That's... literally not a "fact". It's a situational thing. I mean, just to be glib: almost everything that "worked" in the 1980's works now. Most things haven't changed!

As far as media balance: yes, clearly balance is a good thing. I think forcing Fox to hand over an hour of coverage every evening between Hannity and Tucker to someone like Chris Hayes can only be a net benefit. MSNBC can slot Ingraham in after Maddow. Both their audiences will win, because the networks will have to find a way to keep eyeballs without outrage.

Fox only works as "Fox" because of the echo chamber effect. And that can absolutely be regulated.
