>>You're wildly extrapolating using the already established bad measurement of GDP.

GDP is not a bad measure..

I think you're getting overly emotional, and not assessing my points rationally. For example, these counter-examples are not on-point:

>>Do you believe that social democracies primary concern is increasing GDP per capita?

I already argued why they should be: increases in per capita productivity are the primary source of improvements in quality of life.

For example, the reason the Scandinavian region had the highest quality of life in the world by the 1960s, when it had yet to create expansive social programs, is that in the preceding century, it had been the fastest growing economy in the world, with the most free market policies:

http://iea.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/files/San...

• Scandinavia is often cited as having high life expectancy and good health outcomes in areas such as infant mortality. Again, this predates the expansion of the welfare state. In 1960, Norway had the highest life expectancy in the OECD, followed by Sweden, Iceland and Denmark in third, fourth and fifth positions. By 2005, the gap in life expectancy between Scandinavian countries and both the UK and the US had shrunk considerably. Iceland, with a moderately sized welfare sector, has over time outpaced the four major Scandinavian countries in terms of life expectancy and infant mortality.

• Scandinavia’s more equal societies also developed well before the welfare states expanded. Income inequality reduced dramatically during the last three decades of the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Indeed, most of the shift towards greater equality happened before the introduction of a large public sector and high taxes.

Hong Kong and Singapore, the two most free market jurisdictions in the world over the last several decades, have caught up to and surpassed Scandinavia in key measures of quality of life, like life expectancy, despite being far behind them in 1960.

Economic development is the primary source of quality of life gains.

>>Have the living standards been significantly worse in Scandinavia? No, the opposite.

Absolute strawman, that really shows no grasp of what my argument is.

>>It's indisputable that the average Scandinavian citizen has enjoyed very high living standard for the last 80 years or so. Even with very large public sector and high taxes. This blatantly disproves the notion that this is not possible as you suggested above.

I never said it is not possible, so that is a strawman. I said that the rate at which the economy, and with it, quality of life, improves, slows down with marginal increases in the suppression of market rights via top-down regulatory impositions and taxes.

And once again, this is demonstrated by the fact that the more free-market based Hong Kong and Singapore closed a massive economic and quality of life gap with Scandinavian countries since the 1960s, and even surpassed them in some metrics, like life expectancy.

I hope that doesn't delegitimize people expressing their hurt by actual discrimination in the workplace, because I know first hand how hard it can be to recover from someone trying to manipulate the system like your coworker.

Once you see one person behave like that, a very easy trap to fall into is to think that everyone who is concerned about even vaguely similar things is trying to do the same thing, even if their concern is fair/reasonable.

So this is an actual thing. Lol.

And yeah Paris has its nice areas but like most cities in the world it's also overcrowded (try the RER A at rush hour - pre corona), dirty, has its dark sides, and is suffering greatly from mass-tourism. Most Parisians I know are not very happy. I go there a lot.

Really I think there's much better places to visit, like Barcelona. Which is suffering from the same flaws but I find it a bit more accessible. But visiting Paris for the first time was not a culture shock for me at all. However I grew up 800km from Paris. I suppose someone from a totally different culture on the other side of the world might have an idealised view. Especially if they paid a relative fortune to visit it.

Still... It sounds a bit overblown :P There's many movies that show Paris quite realistically, I don't think anyone truly interested would not pick up on that.
I'm slight nebulous about this.

It's the dictionary's job to have the definition as it's used by society, not to create definitions itself.

A big part of the article is going into proving in quite a bit of detail how society has and continues to use "nude" to mean exactly as such; isn't it therefore the job of the dictionary to include that? Note that it's offensive, obviously, but do note it?

I realize some of you may not remember life before the internet but before the internet was around these "outrages" were nowhere to be found.

At that time the abolishing of Racial Segregation was already old news and happened at least 5-6 decades before the internet. If this was an overshoot you would think the overshoot would've happened after Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and not on some random time period 60 years later when the internet just happens to be 2 decades old.
The mere mention of the word Trump, and any sort of nuanced, pro/con conversation is lost. It becomes an emotional response. A sad state of public discourse.

Life After Death in Ancient Egypt
So, we're mostly engineers here. Let's use an engineering metaphor. We're trying to achieve interpreters communication. We need to send some piece of data.

We'll simplify down to three elements: the serialization process, the communication medium, and the deserializatiom process.

The serialization process is our speaker. How well can we represent our data in a line protocol? Do we lose fine details, maybe data types get converted? Do things get entirely mistranslated, like a zero value becoming a null? A speaker can do a poor job converting their thoughts (data) into words (serialization format).

The medium is how the data gets exchanged. Maybe details are lost (again) via headers being stripped, or sourced getting over written. People can lose a lot of information based on medium as well, in particular text based communication, different cultural context, or just a noisy room.

Finally, there's deserialization. No matter how well formed your line protocol, how reliable your medium, the receiver can have a library that incorrectly decodes the data. Ints can become strings, zeros can become nulls, formatting can be lost.

So, as you said the speaker is responsible for being thoughtful and careful, but even if they are the listener can get the wrong message due to their own flaws or even just circumstances. And that is leaving aside intentional misrepresentation, which is a problems unto itself.

Definitely 0/10 for recommending learning Russian, except as an exercise in masochism (10/10).

Hardly a 10/10 for the BDSM part. Whilst the Russian language has retained many grammatical features of the Proto-Indo-European language, it has also dropped many (i.e. perfect tenses, the aorist, a number of noun cases, merged long, short and ultra-short vowels into same quality vowels and lost all nasal vowels and the list goes on). Russian, whilst having its own share of linguistic quirks (but, hey, what language does not?) is no more complex than, say, Sanskrit.

For the purpose of inflicting severe bouts of pain in the rear orifice, give Basque (an absolutive-ergative language) or Georgian (a Kartveli language with the split ergative) a go. Both have no known language ancestors, both are highly agglunative languages with some serious phonetic challenges and with a wealth of deliciously mesmerising grammatical peculiarities.

Or try native highly agglunative North / South American (e.g. Navajo for agglunative and fusional delights and the tenseless verb conjugation by 7x modes and 12x aspects of each mode and Quechua for reversed concepts where future is placed «behind» the past which is always «ahead»), or Innuit, or North-Caucasian languages. Russian will feel like a godsend and a breeze after that.

Then, there are Klingon and Lojban.

> This minor event bothered me so much I never talked to her about programming puzzles ever again.

This makes me sad, but it is exactly what I would have done. My life is built on avoiding anything awkward or uncomfortable. And...that's not working for me anymore. Thanks to a mental health professional, I'm working on embracing these "problems".

If I had your experience today, I'd come up with a plan to at least clarify things. I'd probably start with a slack message. Maybe something like:

> I'm sorry.

> When I talk programming puzzles with <person>, we have a routine of the first person to solve waits a short while and then shares the answer.

> I like that system, as spending 45 minutes to come up with the "trick" usually isn't fun for me.

And then see how the conversation goes. I'd expect 70% something with the feeling of apology-accepted, 20% being told that mansplaining is a pattern of mine, 5% things getting very personal/real/vulnerable, and 5% wildcard. Maybe the estimates are wildly off. I'm still new to being honest and real. But today-me looks at those odds and says sum of awkward + fear isn't high enough to beat the expected value of the conversation.

I'll break them down into smaller chunks for you:

Sexism exists and affects both genders. Imbalances in power mean the effects of sexism are generally felt more by women than by men. The narrative that men cannot understand or recognize sexism, or have an inferior ability to do so, is not supported by the facts. It is also harmful to overcoming the problems of sexism by men toward women.

I hold a similar view with respect to the relationship between racism and white people.
It isn't directly treating people different based on gender.

It is treating people differently based on the damage that they can do to you. Generally a woman accusing you of being sexist is will do more damage than a man doing the same (not universally, but usually). So while the outcome is equivalent the decision is based on the very real threat, not the gender.
That doesn't really make sense to me. `git submodule` is for managing (adding, removing, updating) the submodule, not for doing any random git operation on the submodule.

How do people use MS Office and Google Docs without encountering these kind of problems? Maybe they aren't problems in practice, or people just work around in practice.

Enterprise is a different beast. They require someone to call when something goes wrong. It might not ever go wrong, but having the contract is still important.

I went to one of the Universities on your list, and the thought process of my fellow students was markedly different, depending on which faculty they attended. I don't think you know who the Canadian elites that you dislike so much are.

That said, I agree with parts of what you said. CBC's opinions are not at all related to the normal experiences that Canadians have.

The news podcast is fine, and is better than the quality of most Canadian news (a low bar). I appreciate that they will steadily question the government in interviews; however, but for topics around science and technology, they simply don't have the background to really ferret out BS in the same way.

For instance, they will readily tell you "all of the vaccines are equally good at keeping you out of the hospital" - which is true - but they will not ask the more challenging follow-ups. For example, "if all vaccines prevent death, why is it so important for certain vaccines to be allocated exclusively to the elderly?". The answer to the later question is actually far more interesting, since it unveils bioethics questions that a listener may not agree with; but the CBC is invested in protecting the aura of the experts it agrees with.

The Japanese NHK is, without a question, far better than the CBC, despite its politicization and its recent change to be seen as "agreeing with the government". Other than the Ideas podcast and the News show, there is very little value that the CBC provides me (despite being a linguistic, racial and religious minority in a mixed-race marriage with another linguistic, racial and religious minority.)

I might vote for a political party that had a clearly defined plan to end CBC's divorce from the concerns of the average Canadian.

100% agree with this. Our SSNs are fully “compromised” many times over at this point. Scare quotes because—as far as I know—they weren’t originally regarded as a secret to begin with.

But the fiction of a secret SSN still persists. You're told to protect it; sensitive financial documents ask for it as part of proving you’re you; forgotten password pages use the last 4 digits as some sort of 2nd factor.

The best thing that could happen is if the names and corresponding numbers were published far and wide. So obviously public that nobody could keep this fiction up.

Banks and other high-stakes firms need to figure out how they want to identify their clients. It’s not an easy problem to solve, I get that. But that doesn’t mean we should be happy with them taking the easy way out.

If that's all you want, you can absolutely use git as a monorepo, and you can check in vendored dependencies just as easily.

The main downside (and I admit it can be a big one) to a git monorepo (vs. svn) is that you can't check out a subtree all that easily.

(I do agree with the parent that svn externals is a lot more seamless than git submodules, though.)

Yeah Barcelona is really great for these. In Holland we had to wait for a bus once every month or so, or drive to a central point miles outside of the city (big pain point if you rely on public transport for environmental reasons). And this was in a highly populated area in the periphery of Amsterdam.
