I think the paragraph that you identify as a strawman is actually the core of our disagreement. I don't intend it as a strawman of your idea but as an illustration of why I struggle to accept the idea that you can retroactively change whether or not you consented - or, phrased in a way you might be more likely to agree with, whether or not you can reevaluate your consent decisions after the fact.

If she doesn't know whether she genuinely consents to sex or not, then how is it morally acceptable to have sex with her? You might be raping her. If she can reevaluate consent decisions in the future, that implies they are not certain in the present. It seems straightforward to say that if you are uncertain about whether someone consents to sex you shouldn't have sex with them.

If this is a strawman I genuinely don't see it. I think it is the logical consequence of accepting mutable consent and it is part of why I don't accept that - or at least why I hesitate to accept mutable consent.
Doesn't this remove agency from women?

If two adults get together, fly together, get a room together, drink wine together, have relations... Then we're supposed to say that consent can't be given because the woman is drunk. But they're both drunk. Isn't it essentially the patriarchy to say that a woman can't make that choice? Like if they're equals and they're both drunk, why do we blame the men?

Because they aren't really equals? Isn't that what we're fighting against? We blame the men for not ignoring the wishes of the woman while drunk. It's a little bit chauvinistic to think the men know better isn't it?
I am not a person who knows much, but google says that current sea level rises are between 3 and 4 millimeters a year. At that rate it will take 300 years to reach 5 feet.

It seems like increasingly severe storms will (would) have an impact a century before sea level itself becomes a problem, even in places where the sea level is already basically a problem.
But how many of those strings consist entirely of sensical prose?

Even in a string of just 4 letters, out of c500,000 combinations only c5k are a valid word. The longer the string, the smaller % of random letter combinations will happen to be valid prose.

No. UML was not a fraud. It's a modeling language that abstracts, using highly specific iconic vernaculars, numerous technical views of interest relating to software development.

By definition, that task was never going to be an easy nor mutable exercise. If fraud existed it was in the marketing of the CASE tools UML was embedded in. The claims and expectations were wholly orthogonal to software engineering practice of that or any time.

If memory serves me correctly, mainframe commercial development projects routinely failed or required as much budget and time to complete at anticipated delivery as when they had initially started. The white-collar blame was assigned to the quality of development.

The push back legitimately was the assertion that requirements constantly changed (and how could they not?). The self-anointed gurus of the time responded by creating smoke and mirrors solutions that largely manifested themselves in exclusive, eclectic, and proprietary modeling languages. The predictable collapse of that circular firing squad set of methodologies spawned UML under the bastard thumb of IBM (Rational). Big investment means and meant exclusive, profit-driven ambitions, not fraud - self-serving, big money investment.

The client community was drowned in error rate charts, line-of-code (LOC) costs, and business baby-talk illustrations of before and after CASE development anticipated savings.

This form of techno-magic ponzi scheme is still being played Agile-wide. Once the client makes a sizable investment in the pixie dust they will never admit it was a waste of time and money.

And, just for the record, there were critics, sensible advocates, and sober analysts who were ignored, slandered, and whose careers were rougher had they not bothered.

There's also 3) which is another sea change in computing, something that would lead to current device categories becoming irrelevant, and a currently overlooked company positioned to capitalize on it. To me, that seems more likely than 1 and 2, and due to the acceleration of the rates of consumer adoption, it should happen relatively soon.
>content of later questions can be useful earlier

In some tests I have seen future questions answer previous ones. For a contrived example:

"Q1: What color was the bookshelf? A. Red B. Green C. Blue"

"Q2: What sentimental item did John take from the red bookshelf?"

I was never sure if it was on purpose to reinforce reading all questions before answering or if it was merely poor test design. Usually it was more subtle than my contrived example but it did bump my scores on some tests up a bit.
I just don't see the point. If it only supports one type of diagram (and judging by the name, it seems like it only ever will), why would I use this over PlantUML?

When these things happen, it's often impossible to provide evidence. There is nothing could be proven in the court of law. So we have victims, and no justice in that case, so what are we supposed to tell the victim? Don't get raped? And if they are, and resort to the only form of vindication they have left (openly sharing it), we're supposed to tell them to shut up?

Sharing these things often feels like (and IS) the _only_ thing a victim can do to maintain even a shred of their personhood or agency. If we take that away, we are telling victims of horrific abuse to pick up the pieces of their lives alone, and quietly. That is not how one heals, and it will exacerbate a chilling system of victim shaming that leads to untold anguish.
It's becoming more and more obvious just how devastating the pandemic was to "traditional" industries already on the decline, while big tech corps largely reaped all the advantages.
I don’t give two damns about Scala and its community, and I neither believe nor disbelieve the linked post, but boy oh boy does it remind me of the academia in some (many?) countries, where educational/academic advancement per vaginam has been practically an unwritten norm for decades, to the joy of many a creepy professor!

> If "he gives consent", then she isn't a perpetrator. By definition.

> If one of the parties gets drunk, they can't give consent. Again, by definition.

Say she comes on to him, and he responds enthusiastically. But he's too drunk to give consent by your definition. Then she's just committed a rape? From her POV, also drunk, she made a move, he reciprocated, all in all it was a pleasant evening.

She clearly didn't mean to commit a crime in this case, and both their judgment was impaired. Whose fault is it?

I don't think it's fair to say it's all her fault - and I don't think a court of law could find fault here, fairly, with no witnesses and no evidence.
This is something that's been considered, particularly for doing things like terraforming Venus. There are these areas called Lagrange points[1] that provide a location where one can park a satellite where it'll remain stationary relative to the two-body system of interest. The point directly between the sun and earth is the L1 point and allows you to place a sunshade such that it'll always be directly between the sun and earth. It should be noted, however, that these points are generally not stable and so require some degree of station-keeping to remain viable long term.

Heh. I was just about to ask if this was another term for the bullwhip effect, and the page actually links right to it.

I think the overall effect is that we all have to get used to things being scarce or spotty for a while, that's all. The era of perfect infinite next-day availability of everything has come to a pause. Be patient, adjust expectations, make do, and give the system time to recover.

And wherever possible, buy local, buy on-shore.

> 4GB of RAM in a MacBook Air is not enough for your average knowledge-worker living in their web browser.

You can't even spec a MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM any more.

Base configuration MBA has 8GB of RAM. You can even finance it for $83/month for 12 months, which isn't much more than a $50/month Mighty service. But you get to keep the laptop at the end of the 12 months if you finance it.

> 8GB is probably fine for most, but if you're a designer using Figma? Maybe not

Doing anything interactive, I'd be more concerned about latency. If I had an extra 100-200ms round-trip latency on anything I do in the browser, design work would become a lot more frustrating.
> because someone makes an advance towards you, instead of feeling flattered and politely declining

Convenient to leave out the rape in the next sentence, and the other rape in the next paragraph:

> I felt being taken advantage of that he had unprotected sex with me when I was intoxicated. Nothing felt right. I remember panicking and crying.

> There was another time that he insisted on having intercourse regardless of me saying I didn’t want to.

Sorry you don't like to think about that.
AWS had a helluva head start.

Not only did GCP (and Azure, etc.) have to catch up with where AWS was 8 years ago, they've got to invest even more to catch up with where AWS is now.

It's obvious that GCP is a very long-term investment, but also one that it not just purely profit-driven for GCP in isolation, but also hugely strategic for Google as a whole.

Certainly that is the experience of a specific operating system, not a specific processor architecture.

Such an operating system could conceivably run on any machine; it simply ran more efficiently on a Lisp machine.
Same reason here: by the time Calibre was moderately usable, I had a thousand plus ebooks and an organizing system.
I mean, for starters it’s a little insulting for people to say “Oh no, you can’t have marriage. Let’s go create a new kind of marriage and that’ll be the same thing.” To know that not only do they not want to bless it, they want to not even have it called the same name is just really a slap in the face, as far as bargaining chips go. Why settle for an insult?

But it’s not even just that - if the US religious right had honestly been fine with that, then why didn’t that come to pass? That would have been a much easier thing to do than to fight marriage equality tooth and nail at every turn. The fact that they didn’t really support this obvious easy way out is very telling.

Why are we pretending like the ones asking for the rights didn’t take some obvious logical, alternate path? LGBT folks largely supported “civil unions” which were explicitly unequal, doesn’t it stand to reason they would have supported something far more equal? The answer is that LGBT people weren’t the ones refusing to take some higher road here.
Skiplagged.com (and the legal issues around it) is a good example of why they may not want that data easily accessible.

But other than that, I assume there's a lot of money in partnerships with sites like Kayak and Priceline. But I'm not even sure which direction that money flows.
I came to ask the same thing. "Each browser instance gets 16 vCPUs using state-of-the-art Intel CPUs running at up to 4.0 GHz." given how important single core performance is for most web apps + added streaming I doubt the Xeon setup gets close to the M1 performance.

Just a theoretical example to make the numbers easier (rounding off to 100k).

That said, I also can't find anything anywhere on what people at basecamp are actually paid (nothing on levels.fyi or glassdoor, I didn't search very hard). I don't know what "SV salaries" means but not everyone in SV is making the average or median salary -- some people will be under or right at 100k, probably very early in their careers or when a company is taking a flyer on someone with no credentials.
Share buybacks are equivalent to dividends. They are done when the company can’t think of how to hit their target ROI on that margin. Much better to pay back investors than invent “something useful” to spend money on a la government budget game theory.

That’s true up to a point, but caniuse and I sometimes have different interpretations of what is too buggy to be usable. Rasterising vector formats and working with colour seem to be two common triggers for poor rendering, with extra chances for visible glitches if they are used in combination and a bonus if animation is involved as well.

Change just a handful of words and this exactly describes Stallman. I think my description is more apt than you might think.
M1 devices actually have quite an interesting boot security model, so you can install a custom kernel and OS and boot it, without compromising the security of the platform for normal users that have never heard of an operating system.

While a dev board would be cool, a Mac mini with the hardware UART enabled over a USB C cable is getting pretty close!

Trade offs like these arguably could help to keep general purpose computing alive, as they show it is possible to deliver a secure device to customers that can be used however you like, running whatever software you like, without iOS style "no choice available".
ARM is just an instruction set architecture specification. It is not any specific CPU; there are many different implementations (different chip designs). They can differ to various degrees, and often have at least a few non-standard features.

Hence, each ARM chip/platform often needs at least a little bit of special support (or drivers) to fully work in Linux, besides the standard ARM stuff.

Apple's platform is actually very different, with much more non-standard stuff, compared to other ARM implementations. Hence, much more extensive work was required to support them, than would be typical for other ARM platforms.

Even some of the really low-level features are different. For example, Apple have their own Interrupt Controller. Supporting it (in place of ARM's standard General Interrupt Controller) was a prerequisite to even be able to boot the linux kernel. Another weird thing about this platform is the bus configuration.

Also, Power management is something that is virtually always chip-specific, and the Apple M1 has some unusual quirks on top of that.

I don't know what qualifies as a success, but I saw in Git Tower's developer survey that it has about 5% share.

I see the problem, but I fail to see what you're suggesting? Are we supposed to let criminals go free? Don't deal drugs, is it that hard?

If black people wouldn't deal drugs, they wouldn't be targeted by police officers. Think of the east Asians, they are discriminated and mocked maybe even more than black people, but they are less likely to commit crimes, so police doesn't target them.
In particular, if true, the part where he first encouraged her to invite other people and then when she expressed interest in that, accused her of trying to bring a “chaperone” sounds very much like premeditation. The initial invitation was designed to make her think it wasn’t just the two of them, but then he shamed her into acquiescing to that exact situation.
I have lurked here for a long time, but felt compelled to create an account to respond to comments in this thread because of how disappointed I was. This community is part of the problem.

On a human level, how can you be so concerned that there's an outside chance that the accused is completely innocent, and at the same time, ignore the fact that in all likelihood, another human was exploited and raped?

Yes, there is a criminal justice system, and yes "innocent until proven guilty" is an important part of it, but it's clearly unable to handle cases such as these. If that's not obvious, you must not be paying close enough attention.
But it's not criticism of the mental model, it's criticism that fails to recognize there are models that fit the problem better. Again, changing a branch and preserving your work is sequence of two commands; two very obvious commands applied in the obvious way, no less.

You learn what a "branch" is in git and then you don't have problem. The problem with the linked article is that it's trying to understand a "branch" to mean something like a "working area" or a "checked out directory" or something. And that's just a different mental model. And getting to the criticism in the linked article, it's a very non-orthogonal model, polluting the idea of a "working tree" (which in git just means "the filesystem contents") with weird metadata about where the files "came from".
