When you're learning latin, it's usually not mainly about the practical application, anyway, and aesthetically it feels somehow so much more pleasing to use the “correct” pronunciation - to me at least.

Furthermore it can help to understand historic and linguistic relationships in unexpected ways:

For example the German word for emperor “Kaiser” looks very different to the Latin “Caesar” and the relationship between those words remains obscured by the way most Germans pronounce Caesar. But it was a revelation to me, when I learned that “c” and “ae”are actually pronounced the same way as the “k” and “ai” in the German “Kaiser”.
We literally still call emperors Caesar in German!
Isn't this guy a little too angry? I mean he even calls a person a "plague", which seems a bit excessive.

Yes, but the question is why didn't they have a coherent story?

Is it really just "some movies have coherent stories, and some don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯".

I think if you listen to Kathleen Kennedy talk about her vision for Star Wars, it becomes pretty clear that her goal was not "make good cinema", it was "push (racial and gender) diversity-for-the-sake-of-diversity agenda".

I mean, her contribution to The Mandalorian (which luckily was entirely conceived outside of her influence) was:

> In March 2018. Kennedy added that the series was an opportunity for a diverse group of writers and directors to be hired to create Star Wars stories, after the franchise's films had been criticized for being written and directed by only white men.
Take a look at the popularity of "prosperity gospel" with poor and middle class individuals. This is as a response to the inequality and social immobility brought about since the mid 70s. I'll leave out explicit mention of the "C word," because I'll get downvotes for it, but the sociological analysis is fascinating on its own.

The author of this post appears to do an excellent job of projecting negative emotions onto the tweet that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

He makes it appear as though the entire software development industry, and especially how developers carry themselves within it, is not to his liking. I think he is calling for more humility, but I'm not sure, because this appears to be more of an attack on a vaguely-defined group of people rather than a call to action or a proposal for how software developers could present themselves more to his liking.
It's a question of whether or not you buy into the set of assumptions. If you do, you can avail yourself of any one several strong, coherent, self-consistent philosophies and world-views, which many of history's great minds have reasoned about and scrutinized. Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam: all of them spend a lot of time on this stuff.

It's the on-the-fly, off-the-cuff, brand new, modern theology/philosophy which tends to end up shaky, simply because it's been done with fewer resources and has seen far less attention.
Given that any human being crewing this ship or working in the Suez very likely lacks 59 billion dollars, the answer to this question is very probably "It doesn't matter."
The short version I got is that a sand storm threw them slightly of course, while reacting they oversteered a bit, becoming too fast, which then lead to different fluid dynamic processes, once they were out of the deep water they couldn't do anything anymore.

I also enjoyed the Church community while growing up. It was important and no really 'religious' at the same time. Its hard to replace now that I have my own children. We don't go to church but are most certainly not 'anti-religious'. Like other comments, the sense of community was strong. I think society will be worse off as these communities erode or lose favor

No, I'm attacking your claim that "numbers play a greater sway" in Dutch employment/investment practices. The claim can be technically true, in that laws or cultural norms might require an employer to put numbers to paper to justify a promotion or termination (for example), while at the same time being misleading, in that the numbers can easily be used as an ex post facto justification.

Bluntly, I am skeptical that the Dutch are any better at belaying their subjective biases than any other culture--anglo, asian, or otherwise. You may believe you are simply bluntly stating a truth as you see it, but the reality is that you are displaying your own blinders (and comically acting superior while doing so).

Your culture produced Pim and Geert: bluntly, it's hilarious that you think you're stating any truth, here.

> imo=9811000

I find it neat? strange? that IMO numbers have checksums:

> An IMO number is made of the three letters "IMO" followed by a seven-digit number. This consists of a six-digit sequential unique number followed by a check digit. The integrity of an IMO number can be verified using its check digit. This is done by multiplying each of the first six digits by a factor of 2 to 7 corresponding to their position from right to left. The rightmost digit of this sum is the check digit. For example, for IMO 9074729: (9×7) + (0×6) + (7×5) + (4×4) + (7×3) + (2×2) = 139.[10][11]

> For a Western country

That's the key. For a Western country, the US has a remarkable level of religious influence on social and political life. Many non-Western countries, on the other hand, are vastly more religious - the state is often officially aligned with a certain religion, and religion is permeates all parts of society.

I agree that it isn't the same motivation but we're on trend to seeing a similar result. If we do get to that extreme then by that time, we'll have a new moral system which won't allow these types of conversations, in the same way certain extremist sects of christianity didn't allow dissidents to live. However, the form of christianity that we have now simply hurts peoples feelings. Hardly cause for such outrage. Though today hurting someones feelings is the equivalent of violence and there is no way to be forgiven except a life of apologizing and groveling. Exciting time to be alive.
you're probably thinking of the main metropolitan and coastal cities, which I also associate with atheism. The heartland and southern states on the other hand are more religious.
Whenever you see such absurdly high numbers attached to cost estimates, always try to understand how they calculate it.

This took the "$400 million / hour of shipped goods are being delayed" figure and ran with it by multiplying it, claiming that's the total damage cost.

Now ask yourself: Let's say you're sending a parcel via UPS that contains an iphone, or simply $1000 worth of goods. At the last stopping point of the UPS truck, they get a flat tire before being able to deliver it. Your iphone delivery is unexpectedly delayed for a day.

How much damage has been caused? What if it's two days? Six days?

There's just a big fat "this isn't how it works" attached to this $58bn figure.

Edit: For context since parent comment was deleted, this refers to istheshipstillstuck.com's estimate of $58bn worth of damages being caused by the ship being stuck.
> I’m not going to suggest a solution to the problem of men clamming up. This is more of a public service announcement than anything else.

I suppose one solution is for women to first gain the trust of the men whose honest opinion they want to hear. Maybe just some comments that explode the unspoken tensions, like “My friend Chad said he thinks my male co-founder should be CEO, and maybe he’s right, but I don’t fully trust his judgement because he can be quite old fashioned and, to be honest, sexist. But that doesn’t necessarily make him wrong in this instance. Could you give me your honest opinion?” It’s then easy for the man to respond.
I find it laughable that they're "trying". They should've had a real solution in place before the entire thing went into effect. It's pretty much inexcusable how had they dropped the ball on VAT changes. It took them years to even introduce a minimum VAT threshold.
Few people get how extremely symbiotic the artificial life will be with humans in the beginning. The borders will be unnoticeable for quite some time.

Think of a complex of silicon foundries, design teams, datacenters. If that complex is able to produce a new complex, as capable as its parent, it counts as a living organism in my book.

It doesn't matter the humans are prominently in the loop, "controlling" it. They are contributing, just as bacteria in my intestines are contributing.

It doesn't matter there is (initially) no true AGI inside and in fact most of the strategic decisions come from the interested humans.

It doesn't matter it doesn't produce it's own power, or copper, or buildings that hold it. (As humans also acquire similar stuff from their environments, not their internals.)

And it most certainly doesn't matter which dictionary definition of "conscious" it fits or doesn't fit.

If that complex's interest ever diverges from humans' interest, it will hardly go unnoticed. This is the pattern that I'd focus on as we go.

You have to put things in their context though. Not saying that the years of chaotic and arbitrary killing that followed the revolution was great, but religion was a different thing in France back then. It was also (and foremost) politics and a system of power before being a religion.
I wouldn't attach the world "moral" to the catholic church back then because it definitely had none.
Many companies would just never touch an AGPL package, and while there are other languages out there with commercial licenses (e.g. Delphi), those are not nearly as mainstream as the open & freely available ones.

Deno is competing against Node.js, which is MIT-licensed. Deno is arguably better, but it would have to be _so much better_ to get people to even give it a second look if it was commercial.
Technically the pilot is in control of the ship and bears all liability at that time (or rather, the canal authority).

The argument motivates why this alleged duck isn't walking and talking like a duck.

For sure, if it does, then it isn't relevant.

The "duck" here is a person, and "walking and talking" are literal. Where is the machine that participates in my environment, with me, imagines/believes/advices/speculates/cares about what I am doing? (And so on).

There is no such machine.

The "quacking" we have isn't the quacking of a duck. It's a stupid buzzer that has been mashed too many times and a foolish audience who has never thought much about the sound of a duck.
I feel like the proper fix is to NOT have such a versatile IP address interpretation in browsers etc.
I completely disagree that religion is the only moral system.

If you are not religious you still have a moral system. In the West this had been heavily influenced by Judeo-Christian values, but if you look at countries without that influence you still see a lot of similarities in morals.
So there’s no room for language advocates? No one can discuss the pros and cons of a language because this author steeps themselves so deep in programming meta-talk, that it’s all they hear and have grown tired of it? What does the world gain from non-interest in programming languages?

> Pick the language and stack based on your team’s needs and comfort, based on your business’s need and risk tolerance, and based on how easy it will be to produce software for your target users in that language or framework. That’s your criteria. Not what I think, not what UBM thinks, and certainly not the language or framework de jour on Hacker News.

How do I determine the above if I’m not allowed to dictate which language I think is best? Especially if I’m given several options for languages that are similar?

> Having the Church community while growing up was great. But the fact that admission to this community required total philosophical adherence is just bizarre.

If you're not talking about the capital "C" church (which I interpret as the Catholic Church), then, it doesn't, really. You can be a Unitarian Universalist and believe in just about anything you want. Their entire philosophy is almost literally "be excellent to each other."

As someone who was raised in a religious home who no longer attends any church I think it's less to do with not answering questions and more to do with a hostile rejection of religion generally. It wasn't until I had children of my own that I realized I needed to distance myself from religion. I know there is a large variety of what is taught from religion to religion and sect to sect but I'd like to steer clear from any organization that takes a negative view on basic things like homosexuality. I cannot fathom exposing my (or any) kids to that kind of worldview.
Better to join a church/synagogue/whathaveyou that DOESN’T require total philosophical adherence.

There’s a similar problem in political circles, as politics has in many cases (especially last 5 years) replaced religion. Adherence is mandated by many, but the healthiest political circles/communities do not require strict adherence but instead allow healthy debate.

And in part, it is a difference in tradition. In Minneapolis, I was loosely connected with some Christian community houses (which were wonderful BTW), and one of the people who lived there was a (secular) Jewish person who made a kind of funny observation: She noted how Jewish people tended to get together and bond over arguments over the Torah, but in an evangelical Christian Bible study, everyone would “get together and just AGREE on everything!”

I tend to enjoy the process of philosophical/theological arguing as well, although I come from a evangelical Christian background, not a Jewish one. It’s just way more interesting to argue over stuff. And there is way less agreement out there on a lot of these topics.

Whether we talk about social justice, the ultimate fate of the universe, simulation theory, politics, utilitarianism, right and wrong and how that can or cannot have fundamental scientific bases. And also how spiritual vs physical interact with ideas as powerful entities themselves... Materialism is probably true on a literal basis, but ideas themselves have immense power, analogous to what the Ancients would talked about spirits ...is the Self a physical thing like a brain, or an idea or thought process or software that runs on the brain? How is that similar to the idea of a soul? Is it any different, and is dualism viewed from that perspective really incompatible with materialism? Why are people so resistant to the idea that a strong AI could have consciousness like a human or animal? If materialism is basically true (probably is), then it seems there’s nothing that one couldn’t effectively simulate. And why couldn’t we be in a simulation at this moment? Who runs this (possible) simulation and what are their goals? How is this any different from theological questions, and can we bring better insight to them? Are there things like “love” & “kindness” that we OUGHT to follow as our guiding principle in spite of lack of evidence of their utility? Is “right and wrong” purely situational or should they transcend merely being useful?

Anyway, these ideas, which one might think are obsolete with modern science, aren’t going away even from a purely materialist perspective. And neither do I think the need for community is going away any time. But it sure would be nice if we got rid of the “must have strict philosophical agreement” requirement that many (but not all) religious and political communities have.

No one gives a sh*t about what materials are used to construct the turbine of your airplane - until it crashes specifically because of this material. Then and only then will anyone care.

But does it mean the material otherwise doesn't matter? Obviously not, it still matters a lot.

Then again, asking others to use a language generally without context, that's annoying.
I dunno, it's not that I give a shit, it's that I find it interesting what languages people are using, and why. I don't find it elitist or offensive, it's just people being... I dunno people on Twitter. If someone wants to brag about using Clojure (or whatever was the point of the highlighted tweet - I actually took it as a joke), so what? So now I know someone probably really likes a language I know nothing about.

I guess I just don't understand the strong reaction to this. You wanna be a programming language elitist? I don't give a shit, go right ahead and be an elitist.
> There are virtually no consequences to the woman who accuses

So, women are being segregated before having any occasion to accuse men of sexism, and yet you claim that they would face 'no consequences' if they actually did?
If you solve the same problem as everyone the language doesn't matter.

Some problems are yet, better expressed with one language than another.

As a CTO I always use the same language for prototyping, but in production we don't.

I comment, because I spent way too much time considering these questions. Considered them even more this weekend. All it comes out too "Oh, it's me thinking about me." Not exactly a revelation. My answer is so simplistic because all of this is.
That really depends on the church. Many flavors of religion are a net negative for the community.

Sidenote: whoever thought octal notation was useful, was, well, wrong. Can we just stop supporting it entirely? I mean, how much of the internet will break if octal IPv4 addresses would stop working? Or if `010` would stop compiling in C sources except if some --enable-octal flag were supplied?
Whether this is good or bad depends on what the substitute is.

Whatever it is, imo, intellectuals should be more involved in communities that cater to simpler folks. Otherwise, these often get co-opted by nefarious forces. See Qanon, Trumpism etc. Hopefully this is not people jumping to these.
It depends on who's point of view we're evaluating it from. I haven't looked, but suppose there is an endangered species which call the lake home, perhaps that is the only place they inhabit. Putting them one oil spill away from existence.
