Merge conflicts come with helpful characters ("<<<<<<<<") to show where the conflict originated. If you merge two branches (especially if they are large or reviewed on separate days), its pretty easy to overlook the fact that they share an error code. This will not raise a conflict in git. But is in fact a merge error and users will experience a regression because of it.

Maybe. But I don't see how Googling "Product name 40001 error" is better than the user reading "account_deactivated", understanding intuitively what happened and Googling "Product name reactivate account" or "Product name account deactivated".

Here is a totally different view from Europe.

I have 20+ years of career in R&D, consulting, startups and multinationals, publications in 1-tier conferences, lots of Java/PHP, a bit of Cloud, Big Data and ML experience. I grew up to IT Director, downshifted to SSE at a unicorn.

I've been searching for a new job for over half a year in Europe. Mostly remote. I am willing to do legacy programming. My only requirement is to work on a product creating real value. But I always bump into artificial niches: GDPR/CCPA/KYC compliance, all sorts of crypto, yet another social network, data mining users, traiding floor software... Exactly the sort of things I am tired of.

There is no shortage of software developers, but a big shortage of decent work.
It would have had to have been in software then; modern hardware handles Z buffer calculations for you. That would have been slow and memory intensive on the PS1.
And not Linux, the kernel.org kernel, either.

Linux, the bastardized Android kernel, with thousands and thousands of dubious non-upstreamed patches.
You would have to place them in solitary confinement then, as a trans woman could rape another trans woman.

> "sorry I was inappropriate" is not the same as "this man harassed women in problematic ways".

"I was terrible to women. I preyed on them, I ceaselessly hit on them, I pressured them into sex. Yes I was one of those creepy sexual predators you hear about"[1]

He clearly admits to harassing women in problematic ways, for which his employer fired him[2]. It's pretty bizarre that you think it's not "real sexual harassment" because he wasn't sued. Have you ever been involved in a lawsuit? They are an incredible pain the ass for both sides. I know I personally wouldn't want to waste 2+ years of my life on one for something like this.

> The Court was trying to find a balance that allows schools to prevent kids from going around spewing expletives all day long without consequence, while at the same time not treading too heavily on the legitimate free speech rights of students.

Spewing expletives all day long without consequence is a right, guaranteed by the first amendment. If the school system doesn't like it, it's free to relocate to a country where free speech laws don't apply.

I still don't understand why this went all the way to the supreme court. It's such a clear-cut case of free speech. Some school admin's reading comprehension must be really poor if they couldn't make sense of the first sentence of the constitution.
To put it bluntly, this is irrelevant.

You put "debate" in quotes like it's somehow a dirty word, which is shocking and depressing to me. I DO care about what real transgender people have to say, and to be honest, especially on college campuses in the US, it is very easy to see they have a voice and are able to speak there opinion.

I have no idea whether this academic's opinion is one I agree with. Primarily because she wasn't allowed to speak.

I am contrasting something they do that is publicly seen as positive and progressive with the juxtaposition of them committing human rights violations.
If you read the very first line of the first comment I made above [0] you'll see why the "but some are better than others" is a very unrealistic and uncharitable take on the topic. The whole reason we have separated men and women trials in almost every sport is that the difference between men and women goes far beyond "lots of athletes have an advantage over each other". Having a male body for 35 years is much more than your average advantage.

You decided let your personal sensibilities get in the way of understanding my arguments that are much stronger than anything you presented. Sports aren't about gender identity but about sex. As entitled as any individual is to decide on a body that reflects their identity, their biological sex is still very much unchanged. And so are the advantages years of being a male provide.

As you can see from actual athletes, this situation is offensive for those women who after a lifetime of training and hard work see themselves competing against effectively a biological male body with a massive advantage that dwarfs even years of performance enhancing drugs would give.

And to your last point, saying gender identity is OK, age identity is not [1], and that it's OK to identify as a different gender or even no gender at all but anything else is not acceptable is grossly hypocritical and might be as ignorant as people were 50 years ago about gender related topics. Time will tell. I honestly do not feel like my age, and do not identify with that number but rather with a much younger age for many of the reasons you can read in the article linked. This being said, even if the law allowed me to change the number either way, I would not consider this to be a valid differentiator for sports.

I find user personas in your example to be quite "out of the way" and in fact reasonable unlike mere gender "substitution" which I (being a non-native speaker) tend to perceive as some unnecessary (and even off-putting at times) piece of information.

Calling that an "alteration" rather than a "substitution" gave me a different perspective, though.

I'd often find Alice/Bob examples in (programming-related) books, but seeing "she" instead of "he" in situations where gender isn't important wasn't that common in my experience.

Some other commenters pointed out that the practice is quite old in English. My use of English is mostly limited to reading technical information and blog posts so I can only assume that the alteration not being popular is (was?) mostly intrinsic to the technical articles/blog posts.
Sounds like it was a Ponzi scheme combined with an exit scam.

That combination was sort of inevitable.
I've kind of expected that you have to open the DOM inspector to find image links these days. Not sure what they think they're protecting, but the protection doesn't work.

(Reminds me of sites that disable pasting in passwords from your password manager, so you have to have xdotool type them for you. Again, not sure what they think they're saving me from. And I'm not sure why browsers have APIs that allow this sort of thing.)

That it is.

I think this was the right move. Unless you're threatening violence, harm, self harm, or engaging in bullying, the schools have no business trying to regulate student speech off campus. I never saw this as anything more than a power move by the schools.
Cishet females are capable of getting pregnant. Most of our cultural norms are rooted in historical efforts to make sure everyone got cared for and men didn't just run around impregnating random women and not providing for the children that resulted and leaving the mother's life in ruins.

Birth control and other factors have made it possible to live differently than that but we still norm everything around practices that worked to get the least worst result for human kind historically.

The odds are good there will always be some differences between men and women. But those aggregate stats tend to downplay the degree to which women get barred from having a good life on their own efforts and tend to be condemned to poverty and hardship through no fault of their own, no matter how hard they try.

My proposed solution is we need to find ways to let women have enough more consistently without having to sleep with a man to get it. To my mind, one test for that is if I could just make my life work that would be a step forward, a step in the right direction.

I seem unable to adequately explain that to anyone here. I seem unable to adequately get across that there is something fundamentally wrong and gender-based when the highest ranked openly female member here still can't make ends meet and far too few people are at all helpful with that issue.

I remain essentially a charity case though people agree I add value, I'm smart, etc. It still fails to adequately open doors for me and people act like that has no bearing on conversations about gender inequality and dismiss me as just some loser and crybaby, as if I don't have some kind of legitimate point here.

I think I need to walk away from this discussion at this point. It's probably accomplishing nothing, as usual, and I find these kinds of conversations incredibly infuriating.
Absolutely, local platform competitors can pop up, but the network effects of national platforms is powerful and their influence and actions damaging in the interim. We may just disagree on this, and that's to be expected. As previously stated, I believe more regulation is required, even if that puts national platforms out of business.
Today's word is potlatch.

Or, in the current parlance, a "flex".
Although he was historically ostensibly gender-neutral, in practice, people tended to use the pronoun of the dominant gender in an occupation. If you're talking about a generic nurse, you'd probably refer to her or she.

Which, if you're trying to avoid gender stereotypes, leads to awkward he/she, somewhat obviously switch among male and female personas, etc. The typical approach in style guides these days is use singular they. 2nd person got rid of the separate singular and plural pronoun as well so it's not unreasonable.
That claim was a child comment to a specific usage of the word, which contained the context necessary for that commenter to come to that conclusion.

I fully believe trans women are women, but I'm genuinely curious as to what the feminist response to stuff like these competitions should be when it's clear that trans women have a distinct and irrerperable advantage over biological women.

What potential problems would there be from having a biological women competition, and a trans women competition? Genuinely curious as to your answer and I am asking this in good faith

I know there are people with money who want to save the world. I think a higher-order knowledge base like Hode[1] could be useful in search, in AI, and in social networking.

I don't think gender ideology is an appropriate topic for HN. There is little to be gained and much to be lost from discussing it here. Little to be gained because it has nothing to do with software development, and because gender issues are thoroughly covered elsewhere. Much to be lost because gender issues are so divisive that we risk alienating members of our community.
> they can't simply adopt a keyboard design from a competitor

why can't they all standardize?

the worst hallucination that hardware and software manufacturers have is that they "need to add unique value" or just that they "need to add value" at all.

I DO NOT care for any vendor-specific crap on the laptop. I do not buy a laptop for any of those things. I do not want a vendor-specific driver updater when Windows Update already does that. or, would, if the vendor published their drivers there. I do not want vendor-specific wallpaper. I do not want any of the bundled software. ever. No one ever buys a specific laptop to gain access to those things. No one.

businesses often choose a single manufacturer for most deployed hardware to make administration easier, and none of them choose their vendor based on those admin tools. they choose based on price, features, and warranty terms.

"we need to add value".... no, you need to stop ruining things in the name of value.

Wow, very HN! I don't actually mind very much, but seriously, consider applying the principle of charity?

I agree with you, and did before you wrote this comment too! Hence my use of the word "completely". I was just surprised that strategic voting couldn't be completely eliminated; before yesterday I expected that you could, in exchange for losing other nice properties. Of course being impossible to eliminate completely doesn't mean it shouldn't be minimized.
I find it unsettling that people make purchase recommendations solely based on the merit of the phones given purism contributed more patches to the Linux phone ecosystem.

I also believe in work safety laws that prohibit workers from operating machinery for 14 hours straight or climbing radio antenna without any kind of safety equipment. I fail to see how that's fine but laws about selling sex are somehow in violation of these worker's agency.

I feel that statement gets tricky.

Applicants vs approved, per population or absolute, documented vs undocumented, etc.

I imagine that a very large country with more liberal immigration policy will by default have more absolute immigrants than a small country with closed door policy - regardless of which one is more desirable to live.

Note further:
"In 2019, with 11 percent of the United States’ population, Canada receives 32 percent of the number of legal immigrants that of the United States receives."

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-multi-year-immigration-pla...

or finally Wikipedia, where USA isn't in the top 20 per-population immigration rate, no matter the source you check:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_migra...

Conclusion - that statement holds minimum to no liquid water

Funny you would bring that up. So, all joking aside... my introduction to the world of phreaking / hacking was primarily reading Cyberpunk by John Markoff and Katie Haffner about 1995 or so. I was immediately in awe of Kevin Mitnick and his cadre of phreaker friends, and those were the guys/gals me and my little circle of phreaker friends most wanted to emulate. KM was one of my heroes back in those days (and truth be told, I guess he still is to a degree).

What is interesting is that it was only later that I came to know that that book was very controversial, is of doubtful veracity in parts, and may portray KM in a somewhat inaccurate light. Nonetheless, it launched me on my path to a (short and inauspicious) "career" as a phone phreak. But I've remained fascinated with Kevin's story all the way to the current day, and actually just finished reading The Cyberthief and the Samurai and a couple of other books about his story, which I had not read before.
HN is for topics that gratify intellectual curiosity, not "software development". Please see the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You're certainly right that this is an inflammatory topic with strong political and ideological overlap, and as the guidelines explain, we don't want flamewar here, and we don't want ideological or political battle. The site exists for intellectual curiosity, and those things aren't compatible. There's a great deal of established moderation practice around this, if anyone wants to read past explanations:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

That doesn't automatically make a story like this off topic for HN. It depends on whether there's enough new information in a story to support a substantive discussion. In this case, the topic is not just "gender ideology", it's ongoing developments at universities and in the discourse at large. All of these are significant and interesting phenomena. For that reason I turned the flags off on this submission. That's also established moderation practice (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). It requires a judgment call, of course, and we don't always make the right calls—but not making any would be an even worse call.

Of course it's commenters' responsibility to stick to the side guidelines if posting in such a thread. That means curious, thoughtful conversation and respect toward other commenters (and other people generally). Flamewar, flamebait, snark, name-calling, personal attacks and so on are not ok. People sometimes think that just because a topic is inflammatory it means they get carte blanche to spew what they will (e.g. "if you don't want me to post like this then you shouldn't allow this thread in the first place"). I call that argument "the topic made me do it", and not only is it false, the opposite is true: commenters here are under a greater obligation in cases like this, as the site guidelines make clear: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
This is great news, because gender ideology has corrupted free inquiry and discourse in society as a whole, not just at universities. For example, the Royal Academy of Arts just issued an apology to an artist whose work they had removed from their shop due to pressure from trans rights activists (https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/jun/23/royal-a...). There was also the case of Maya Forstater, who was allegedly let go from her job because of tweets saying that biological sex is real - she initially lost her case about employment discrimination but won upon appeal (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57426579).

The trend in universities fighting for free speech and free inquiry is welcome and necessary. I have been concerned that things were going in the other direction when I saw the phrase "academic transphobia" appear, which was being used to de-platform certain people or stop certain research (see https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/stonewall-and-the-silenc... or https://www.starobserver.com.au/news/university-of-melbourne...). Apart from the linked Economist article, another related recent positive news is that Open University launched a "Gender Critical Academic Research Network" (https://thecritic.co.uk/the-new-network-for-gender-critical-...).

PS: if you support free speech in academia, check out FIRE (https://www.thefire.org/). Since the ACLU is less focused on free speech issues these days (https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-disinte...), FIRE has become the new defender of basic civil liberties.
Some of his appeal to pedagogy had to do with pure myth-making surrounding him, like the "Einstein failed math, so don't worry, lone kid in your class still struggling with long division, you may yet be a math genius, so don't give up!" stuff that was such a large part of how he was presented for a long time (may still be, as far as kids in school are concerned). There's a lot of "everyman who just tried hard and made it big" stuff about his biography that's, at best, disingenuously contextualized, yet is plausibly most of his presence in the popular imagination and in pop culture.
You probably know this, but for the benefit of others: this technique of using the vertical blank interrupt to run code was very common in the 8-bit (Atari/Apple/C64) era. In fact you really couldn't write a decent game without hooking the vertical blank interrupt (and often the per-scanline horizontal interrupt as well).

It's interesting that you were able to adapt this technique to PS1 hardware; does that game run properly under emulators or does it give them fits?
The idea that you can even detransition is fairly recent. Before then you just had to live with it...and the suicide rate historically has actually been 20 times higher post-op.
