New features and other changes in Python 3.10
No? It isn't?

Cops everywhere in North America have the issue of being unfireable despite literally committing crimes.

Electricians don't have this issue.

Both of them are highly unionized.

So clearly the common denominator isn't unions. Even before their mass unionization cops were able to get away with far too much and they get away with far more than any other profession, unionized or otherwise.
Crypto is hardly a "sector of the economy". It's main utility right now is lining the pockets of a few speculators.

Traditional centralized ledgering systems do everything crypto does better and with a fraction of the energy use. It also gives governments tools to combat inflation/deflation and manage counterparty risks within the system.

Crypto is a neat idea, but in the end it doesn't really solve anything, and instead only introduces a lot of unnecessary problems.
Definitely, but it's very clumsy and many times it backfires.

Alternative view: "I have a life outside work, now I am free to enjoy that life as a normal human being."

It is devastating to me to see people thinking that to go home and take care of yourself and your loved ones is "undermining progress, improvement and development".

Your family and friends are important, your company is going to fire you just to make share price go up before the end of the quarter. Even if firing you is hurting "progress, improvement and development" of the company in the long term.
I just read Cory Doctorow's column about quitting tobacco: https://doctorow.medium.com/i-quit-9ae7b6010c99

He notes how big tobacco authored the playbook for all disinformation, that everyone uses right now: "a denialist doesn’t want to convince you that smoking is safe, they just want to convince that it’s impossible to say whether smoking is safe or not."

Apple is intentionally making a "not truly shitty, just bad enough" browser to have us all eternally question whether PWAs, web apps and other open web technologies are inferior to apps. It's worth billions to them to do that. And, its awful that they are destroying a sphere where open culture could thrive and blossom while they do that.

How is it solved elsewhere? I mean I have not heard of, say, German cops getting away with pretty much anything, thus probably not having the “cushion” mentioned.
The answers are good, with the exception of one point that I disagree with. In the article, the author states that IDE's obviously need to have full file system access in order to work. This is papering over the fact that development tools are some of the most critical pieces of software in an organisation, and if it becomes compromised the entire production chain may be compromised.

It doesn't help that a lot of development tools happily downloads random code from various repositories during build, so not only are the applications sensitive, they also are more vulnerable than anything else.

The solution here is of course to isolate the development environments and give them private structures that contains everything the tools need. I'm not sure if Flatpak has the ability to provde a "virtual home" or some such, it should be available.
There are few sectors of the economy whose entire model depends fundamentally on huge energy consumption: Bitcoin's Proof of Work depends entirely on wasting huge amounts of electricity as assurance that transactions are verified.

This may be true, however you can't have it both ways.

The argument that competing in Super-Heavy weight lifting (the class that Laurel competes in) is following a general western stereotype of cis women is laughable at best. I'd argue that by standards from the last 100 years it's almost as far from it as a sport can be.

> once you earn around $40-50k <...> median

An absolute sum of money is meaningless in such discussions. In my whereabouts $40-50k would be easily top-10% of not top-5% earnings. Median is a better measure. But how do we calculate median in UBI society? Do we calculate every resident? Only UBI citizens? Only working UBI citizens? Or do we take median pay of today, look what professions it is and then look at what those professions make after UBI?

Personally I'm very skeptical of UBI. IMO it's not possible till all low paying jobs are automated away. Otherwise your solution would create a very unhealthy two-ways society. Sort of like Arab oil states today. Where locals live off oil money and lots of 2nd-tier residents from poor countries are in sort a sort of modern slavery. I don't see how a healthy democratic society could in such a way. There're too many different groups with different incentives.

Still no grid-gap in Safari for iPhone.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/gap#support...

Yes, in order to apply uniform spacing between CSS grid items for iPhone users, you have to use margins, and thus deal with the "last item 0 margin" problem manually like it's 1999. Grid-gap is supported in Safari for OS X, Safari for iPad, but not Safari for iPhone. Apple is a 2 trillion dollar company that can't figure out grid-gap for iPhones.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of nightmarishly annoying "bugs" (too soft a word) when it comes to Safari... don't get me started on the fullscreen API.

I wish they would add a feature that would let you add your own tags to counterweight the lack of tracking.

Right now google knows a lot about you and uses it to refine the search results, if you remove tracking - quality drops. But if you at least let the user tell the engine that "I'm a programmer, gamer, geek, whatever" it might just do the trick to counterweight that.
The problem is if there is a conflict between economic and and "ethical" interests the economic interest always won (let's not even get into all the political reasons why totalitarian regimes were supported).

The US (and much of the west by extension) certainly has a very spotty history of supporting democracy, especially if it was in their economic interest to support the totalitarian regime.

> Swift stakes out one of the most interesting points in the design space by completely encapsulating the internal representation and requiring all accessors to be explicit in whether they operate on the string's encoding (e.g. as UTF-8), its Unicode code points, or its grapheme clusters. All positions within the string are represented using abstract iterators that don't reveal their numeric quantities.

This is probably the only right way because 1. it admits multiple implementations (like packing into tagged pointers) and 2. a string isn't simply an array of anything. Strings are made of all of bytes/codepoints/grapheme clusters/words/lines/etc at different levels.

I will not express it better than this:
"What's galling about the emails is that they come from executives who, on any other day, praise the wonders of the free market, competition, and its ability to set fair prices. Yet in private, when it comes to their own companies, they avoid competing for staff and pursue policies that artificially distort the market to ensure that their most valuable assets - the people who actually create the products that generate Apple and Google's returns - get paid as little as possible." https://www.businessinsider.in/emails-show-how-apples-steve-...
Oh, and it costs nearly $3000.00 USD, too.
Yeah. I think for people today it's absolutely unacceptable. There's a need to fight oppression and gain acceptance.

But once nobody cares anymore and nobody is bothered by the existence of trans people, I wonder if that's when it'll settle into a separate gender. Things like the issue in this topic with imbalance in sports and other areas might eventually result in another change in social structures outside of a strictly binary system.

In my opinion people often speak incoherently on this topic because they are trying to be politically correct.
Vanbellinghen is asserting that Hubbard should not compete as a woman. Hubbard identifies as a woman. In what way is Vanbellinghen not questioning Hubbard's identity? It is as if "I am not questioning your identity" is a magic spell that must be chanted prior to doing exactly that so you don't get in trouble. If Hubbard is a woman, then it is completely appropriate for Hubbard to compete as a woman, and if not, then not.

It is also incorrect to describe sex as a continuum. On a continuum we can increase or decrease a value. The number line, for example, is a continuum. We can find the integer immediately larger or smaller than a given integer. It would be incoherent to pick a woman and ask who is incrementally more feminine than her or incrementally less. We can't sort people by how male they are. I think "bimodal distribution" is a more apt description than continuous or continuum.

Competitive Sport: the act of determining your performance and subsequent identity/categorization by arbitrary comparison with other arbitrary individuals.

Here's an idea. Let's just let weightlifters lift weights. They can compare themselves to their previous efforts and broadcast their successes by beating their own PRs. If people want to find some sort of vicarious happiness from observing this process, set up (monetize) their efforts with something like Twitch.

In skiing, only a few individuals at the very top make any real money.

Most "professional skiers" just get free gear and travel budgets to film a segment or go to competitions.

To be a professional, you either have to be a massive dirtbag, or have a trust fund; and the former has gotten much harder these days.

Same deal for professional climbers, AFIAK.

I also disagree in that climbing seems quite affordable compared to other outdoor recreation. Shoes and ropes are the biggest wearable expenses (the latter of which you can split with your partner).

You can even get a trad rack for ~500$ that will last you a decade (minus replacing a stuck piece occasionally).

Most importantly, climbing outside is free.

When I walk out of my house to go skiing, I probably have close to 7k in gear on me, all of which has to be replaced every 2-5 seasons :(

No, as OP said, it is a continuum. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_insensitivity_syndrom..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex. It is just very strongly bimodal (even more strongly than gender).

Generally the same type of problems as a lot of UX has today, especially on mobile: various messages and modals and controls that seem to be motivated by Brave’s needs, not mine. Sponsored images, trying to get me to set it as standard browser, “Brave rewards” whatever that is being a permanent part of the UI and turning itself on without me asking it to.

These might be small things compared to Google, but I’ve never experienced that DuckDuckGo did anything like it, so my trust in them is higher.

> If you see someone steal something you shouldn't think you have to steal too because others will have benefit you don't.

This isn't the situation, though. The situation is more like the government announced that theft of Playstations wouldn't be prosecuted; my friend stole a Playstation, I paid for my Playstation, and at the end of the day the government stepped and paid of my friend's Playstation off for him.

You're totally right that the government isn't punishing me for having paid for my Playstation. But economically I am being penalized for having not stolen my Playstation.

When the responsible thing to do and the economically advantageous thing to do are at odds, it's not far-fetched to expect fewer people doing the responsible thing.
Mortoray, I'm inclined to agree with you. Modern strings/unicode has completely confused quite different things - storage (bytes), glyphs, typesetting, and language. So we're mixing single characters, with multiple characters, with character construction, with non-character emojis.

We are almost getting away with this confusion by using brute force - "check out the CPU power of my phone". We're probably struck with it for interweb purposes, but I'd like to see a nice clean alternative, or a cleaned-up version of unicode ... something we could use in small embedded/IoT scale systems.

FWIW, state-of-the-art INS is not publicly available technology. No one knows what the real limits are, only that it is much less than what is available publicly. Cheap systems like guided bombs use conventional laser gyros but they don’t need to maintain their precision very long and they only accept GPS corrections within their drift error (a dozen meters?). When real precision is required, they tend to use laser guidance anyway.

I don't think this is about external acceptance, but more about internal acceptance. To take an extreme example: If you're suffering heavily from gender dysphoria, decide to transition to female, change absolutely nothing to your life and just try to convince yourself that you're just a women who expresses her gender differently, most of the time the dysphoria will stay here. Of course as always: there are lots of trans people and they're all individuals with their own desires and issues so this is an oversimplification. But I've been many time surprised by their desire to fit in traditional gender roles.

Also, do you really think that the average American who has been saddled with the average amount of student loan debt would really be in a superior financial position if their debts were lifted tomorrow? The debt itself was preventing them from doing other economically productive things (like buying more goods and services, investing money, buying a house) that generate tax revenue. I wouldn't be surprised if forgiving all student debts turns out to be the economically favorable thing to do in the long run.
