> Many "autistic rights" advocates simply ignore and dehumanize these kids.

Autistic rights advocates don't argue against medication or treatment for autistic individuals who want that. We advocate against a universalist approach that assumes that autism is fundamentally something to be avoided regardless of how high/low functioning the individual is, and independent of whether the difficulties for an individual are stemming from something inherent to the condition or whether they're coming from a lack of accommodation.

Many autistic people view the way they look at the world as a fundamental part of who they are. It is offensive to them to be told that they shouldn't exist.

Of course, more severe, low-functioning individuals can and often do disagree with that assessment of themselves, and that's fine, and those individuals should be given the help they want. But let's be honest here, nobody in the "autism speaks" branch of activism talks about a cure for specifically low-functioning autism; they talk about a cure for autism in general, they talk about eliminating autism from everyone across the board. And if you view autism as an inherent part of your personality, it's pretty understandable why you might start to suspect that those people are hostile to you as a person.

It's valid for autistic people to object to the characterization of autism as a universally negative condition that they just "don't have as bad". It's also valid to object to neurotypicals drawing the line between autism as an identity and autism as a debilitating condition based purely on what behaviors are inconvenient to those neurotypicals, rather than what the internal experiences are for autistic people themselves. Autistic rights advocates argue that autism can (and often is) a real disability with real negative effects, but also that a lack of accommodation can exasperate some of the negative effects of autism, and that it's important for society to think more critically about when and why these negative effects happen and how to best alleviate them. Autism rights advocates argue that inconvenience or incompatibility with existing neurotypical workflows are not universally reasons to call someone broken, even though functioning in a modern society might require interventions or medication to help manage those incompatibilities even in high-functioning individuals.

But of course we should try to help people with debilitating autism, and of course we should allow people who want to suppress or eliminate parts of that condition to do so. It's just that it's really messy to act like autistic people are secretly normal people who have some kind of disease that's keeping them from being normal. That "disease" can't be easily separated from identity.

Anti-autism is like arguing that because some people have PTSD or trauma or depression, that we need a universal cure for emotions, and that anyone who suggests "sometimes even inconvenient emotions are a good thing" is ignoring the entire gambit of suffering that emotions can cause. It's ridiculous.
CL is especially good for exploratory programming, which could be useful for a startup ...
I’m agreeing with you?
Your advice on introspection is helpful, especially for people who find themselves repeating the same mistakes.

However, I would like to add a caveat on introspection. For some people, an absorption with introspection and self-understanding can be a distraction from making concrete progress in life goals. Sometimes, it helps to shut off or turn away from the stream of thought to plug away at important tasks. An excess of introspection can create an illusion of progress, though it’s still a crucial habit to practice.
Sure, and places without those big projects still became car dependent. Cars still ended up scaling.

You found an unrelated problem.
I'm not a smoker but Im glad this is finally happening. It's tragic how many people had their records ruined by minor possessions charges and I hope they're made whole. I think a non-trivial portion of any new legal sales should go to anyone who was charged and jailed for selling it previously.
How does Taiwan block mainland blue water access - any more so than Okinawa?
Yeah it's wild- some people seem to really enjoy it, others it's a huge turn off. My wife and I have had a few discussions about it and we both always settle on "Man I really liked it for awhile...but eventually it was just too much".
As someone who is extremely pro-legalization (and pro-decriminalization of all drugs) I still think this is perfectly reasonable. We know rough bounds on the safety of cannabis/THC (probably safer than tobacco and alcohol, probably not a good idea if you have a family history of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, or if you’re very young) but we don’t really know in depth what the long-term effects are like, for different doses, different age groups, different comorbidities, etc. The government more or less forbid researching this subject for a long time, and the environment is still relatively hostile to it. The research is young.

I think forcing quoting of strings and forcing "," for separation and "\n" for lines. Dates are ISO, decimals use .

That is all.

P.D: This is similar how I done this for my mini-lang https://tablam.org/syntax. Tabular data is very simple and the only problem with csv is that is too flexible and let everyone to change it, but making the "schema" outside from csv is against it purpose.
To me it immediately connotes a recreational use, which is a useful distinction from purely medical (or pseudo-medical) applications.

So the word seems appropriate even if part of the familiar venacular.
team ansible as well, tho our 100 some odd servers probably doesn't warrant much else.
Sure, but the alternative is for a company to shut down its production line rather than pay extra for parts it needs. None of your examples would seem to include that happening.
In general, inhaling chemical compounds is more dangerous than ingesting them (e.g., vitamin E acetate). Also, the dose makes the poison, and don't we try to wash off most of what we spray on crops?
I'm interested in this - and there is no email in your profile.
Fully agree with this. In previous years cooperative agreements happened via small opaque groups of people across the world who had a fairly strong hand in driving alignment. Of course this meant that it wasn't so democratic and so people have been pushing against these types of "small group" deals made in back rooms by powerful people.

That has changed such that people do not trust these groups to make these deals on their behalf because there have been bad outcomes. Now there are many more players in the conversation with their own perspectives which, while good for increasing diversity of opinion, also make the system mostly grind to a halt, which allows for groups who want to exploit their perspective to have more time to gain ground.
Fortunately, Hungary and Poland, even combined, are quite small a fish for Apple to just tell them to go pound sand in some form or other. They can even ban iPhone sales, people will just buy them in Czechia.

It's not like China, or India, who not only have huge markets, but could easily hold a chunk of Apple's supply chain hostage.

It's very easy to uphold human rights if it doesn't actually cost you anything.
Even with half cost, we are more expensive than lead acid batteries. Typically lithium ion batteries are three times in price compared to lead acid batteries. Erickshaw drivers are very cost sensitive to upfront battery cost. We wanted to give them the most affordable battery solution.

> There are economically disadvantaged asian american students. They benefit greatly from the changes that limit dependence on test prep.

I'm not sure how to take this seriously. There are economically disadvantaged Asian students, but there is no evidence this change helped them. We have empirical evidence the change increased Black, Latino and White student counts; we also have evidence it reduced Asian student counts.

> You'll find that a lot of people on the school board, or who are active in this discussion on the side of the change, are themselves south and east asian.

That's not what I've found. Everything about the school looks extremely White. Being 'active in this discussion' is irrelevant and there is no data to support your assertion anyway.

> The narrative that this is all white people trying to hold asian americans back is just silly.

Your narrative that replacing Asian students with poor Black, Latino and White students is somehow good also seems a bit silly. It's still discrimination even with your spin.
It's not possible.
This was a month ago (July 14th).
Yeah, so? The same applies to most of everything. Different things resonate with and provide value to different people.

What 'other content' are you referring to that is exempt from this?
> The "more or less" applied to "continuous", not "independent."

Does that make a difference? You are either continuously independent or not continuously independent.

> But if you really want to argue that independence is a simple binary decision... you're just flat out wrong. No, seriously.

No. You either are independent or not independent. It's basic logic.

> Let's take what should be a simple example: Canada. When did Canada become independent? Well... Wikipedia lists no fewer than three separate dates, and that's really understating the matter.

Should be a clue to you that canada isn't independent. No country that worships the queen of another country is. I never considered canada an independent country.

> Now, for bonus points, take the same criteria and ask if places such as Greenland, Bermuda, Taiwan, Palestine, Abu Dhabi, or Federated States of Micronesia are independent or not.

None of these are independent countries. Not sure about abu dhabi as I don't know about about it.

Nice little distraction you took us on. Funny how you completely ignored the part about iran being invaded and conquered. Instead of accepting that you were wrong, you decided to double down and take us on a tangent. Nice. I can see where this is going.

That iran has not been "more or less" continuously independent nation isn't a matter of debate. It's a matter of historical and political and military fact.
Visual debugging in my experience is automatically jumping through the source files inside the editor. Which is nicer than asking the debugger to show 10 lines around the current line. There are some attempts like DDD that I think are not very popular.

Edit: also showing variable values while hovering with the mouse. Also, I forgot that Dr Racket can show you the call stack graphically connecting different source lines

Problem is that you can dissolve the current state, but new one will always arise after a period of epic blood letting. It is like a business cycle it seems. From chaos to some sort of order and freedom from daily threat of brutal death, to crystallization into a monstrosity, to fall and repeat.

There are few example of states that lasted for some time without a regular civil war and mountains of corpses. US is one of them having only had one mountain of dead civil war in 2 hundred plus years. However it seems to approach crystallization state. Try opening a business in place like SF and NYC to see the final form of the monster. Nothing can be abolished and state just grows till the what was a necessity becomes a parasite.
Most cities in America are very car-focused, including metropolises like Los Angeles. San Francisco also needs cars, at least uber, given the downtown transit system is a joke for true commuting.

The only cities in the US with actual transit systems that can 100% replace cars without being super annoying / delayed are NYC (and larger commuting areas like Jersey City), Boston, and Chicago. I know people in Boston who have lived in the farther-out neighborhoods (Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, etc.) completely without cars and it is do-able.

Within those three cities, there is still a lot of parking, and if you need more dedicated space there are garages with reasonable monthly rates. My understanding in places like Amsterdam the parking / driving situation is vastly different.
How about the same number that lets you vote, and decide where you live, or get drafted, and get married without parental consent, and get medical care without parental consent?

Does any widely used application do it better.

I always view CSV as a lowest common denominator, of course more precise formats exist, but not everyone can use those. Csvs normally get the job done, but like anything else you need to know it's limitations. Something like a basic phone book should work, your scientific data, with dozens upon dozens of floating point numbers may not work.
Why not leave this to the states to decide?

The fundamental problem for Google (visible all throughout this message) is that there is a huge high pressure nozzle in building 42 from which $100 bills come shooting out nonstop, day or night, essentially regardless of what anyone does. Valve has the same problem — actually for Valve the company the situation is even worse.

You can see in this memo, and in other efforts Google has made, that they understand one bad facet of this problem: they try very hard to diversify the income stream, and have managed to get advertising down to almost 85% or revenue, although it’s a larger percentage of profit.

But the other, more dangerous problem is the lack of adequate feedback mechanisms. This is quite difficult to fix when you are in Google’s position: the gusher of cash removes any sense of urgency and it’s very size makes it hard for any one person to see how their actions can change anything — a problem that extends all the way to the top.

This may not look like a problem to some people but it leaves them extremely vulnerable to a a structural change in the market or even a new competitor. Without a depth of resilience, once, as Buffet’s saying goes, the tide goes out they won’t have managed to put on any bathers.
This. We've known Apple is backdoored since at least 2013 with Snowden revelations. Why are people still debating this nearly a decade later? Apple products ARE NOT PRIVATE.
This article title is clickbait, it can be interpreted as her being removed after being awarded the Nobel Prize.

> It found that women make up only 19 per cent of all profiles, but account for a quarter of page-deletion recommendations.

So, 19% of profiles, "25%" (no percentage given) of deletions - it's not insanely far off being the ratios I would expect. There are going to be some bias in there due to historic roles of men and women in society (a large number of historic politicians will be men for example).

> A well-known example is what happened to Canadian scientist Donna Strickland, who couldn't be found on Wikipedia immediately after she won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 (although she does have a Wikipedia page now.)

Tonnes of University Professors also don't have Wikipedia pages, despite being well published and contributing tonnes to their fields. At best they can hope to be a reference on a Wikipedia page. Some even prefer it like this.

> Another issue is that most of Wikipedia's editors are men.

Is there actually any evidence at all that gender is a notable factor? It just seems like speculation. From the original numbers, it seems like deletions are roughly equal to representation.

What this article really _fails_ at though is to actually review the Wikipedia edits [1]. In 2014 it was requested for deletion due to 'G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement' [2].

Ultimately though, if you don't like what Wikipedia are doing, stop giving them money and start your own - there is nothing stopping anybody. For example, RationalWiki was created after their articles were attacked on Conservapedia [3].

This is a false-positive rate of 2 in 2 trillion image pairs (1,431,168^2). Assuming the NCMEC database has more than 20,000 images, this represents a slightly higher rate than Apple had previously reported. But, assuming there are less than a million images in the dataset, it's probably in the right ballpark.

If the author was comparing 2 trillion pictures of people, or children specifically, I think this false-positive rate would be different and arguably much higher. The reasons are obvious: humans are similar in dimensions to eachother and are much more likely to match in the same way the hatchet and nematode matched.

I do not presume such a finding of photos is easy to come by but I wish the author put details on the sample set.
> Maybe it gives you a raw pointer to new resources. In 2021 those are just loose references which don't signify ownership, you need the wrapper to avoid this confusion leaking into your program.

you can use unique_ptr directly for that. take for instance the 197x API, fopen: you can just do

using file_handle = std::unique_ptr<FILE, decltype([] (FILE* file) { fclose(file); })>;

and then store a file_handle in your class.

> Maybe it gives you an integer handle which needs to be passed to some other API call to "release" the handle when you're done with it. Again you'll want a wrapper to handle this properly in your code or you may leak resources. You'll also want a wrapper because one integer is the same as another, but you probably shouldn't finished_with_cow(dog_number) or clean_up_dog(cow_number) even though those compile.

it needs a one-time class to coax an int into behaving like a pointer but otherwise it's the same principle
Their reported collision rate was against their CSAM hash database[1].

> In Apple’s tests against 100 million non-CSAM images, it encountered 3 false positives when compared against NCMEC’s database. In a separate test of 500,000 adult pornography images matched against NCMEC’s database, it found no false positives.

I mostly agree with this. If you primarily work on java/kotlin/csharp etc. it is hard to live outside intellij universe.

I am a web developer & my current dev setup involves sway window manager(with vim style bindings), intellij (with IdeaVim), ranger file manager (has vim style bindings), firefox with vim vixen, and of course NeoVim (for editing scripts).

They are all disparate tools, and have their quirks around vim emulation, but overall its a good enough coherent experience that I am quite happy with.
Definitely appreciate that this seems to be heading in the right direction.

What's the intent of a rule like that? Prevent one 21 year old from buying a pound for his under-21 friends? I feel like alcohol has proven that this is pretty futile. Is there some other point?
Extremely poorly. Companies use them because they're cheap, not because they're good.
We certainly have Apple's PR blunder to thank for that, but if PhotoDNA always held that potential for abuse due to its very nature, why did we remain silent for 13 years?

Maybe it's because Google and Microsoft and others' policy of security through obscurity actually succeeded in preventing the details of PhotoDNA from coming to light, and it took Apple exposing their hashing model to reverse engineering by including it on the device for people to finally wake up.
