> When enough of your peers do it, it feels downright strange to not do it

Really? Plenty of my friends on social media and a few work colleagues state their pronouns, but I've never even remotely felt that I need to.

Is it perhaps that you are quite suggestible?
Specially today, all Netflix "documentaries" seems more like propaganda. I can't see any value in watching them.

What is the long term plan here? The infighting is at an ever increased risk of leaking into real world and real violence.

I recall a researcher who lost his job for publishing research that violence on black lives by police was only covered by the media when the media understood them as sympathetic victims and so a successful strategy is to intentionally play up the helplessness of being violenced upon as opposed to militant resistance and cooperative resistance. I believe the rage about it at the time was more or less how dare this person try to finger waggle how black people can effectively protest. But the study itself was fairly milquetoast.
Really fascinating. I was able just now to generate a vsti for windows32 from one of the code example, that works!! There is no real UI but the parameters are accessible (like the plugins made by Airwindows for instance).

For some reason the win64 version hangs the host (Reaper), but seeing it work that simply is super exciting.

What did you use to learn Faust? Just the online tutorial or some specific video? Do you make vsts/vstis of the things you mention? Are they published somewhere?
It may be easy to hide that as part of an update, after mainstream focus settles down. It could be part of "Various privacy improvements" changelog line and it may not be easily noticable. And if some security researcher discovers it many years later, they will say "we told everyone in 2021 we cared about children and that we would implement this".
I am surprised by your comment. We have much better techniques for understanding off-target issues with DSB-inducing gene editors. I'm certain the tox package $NTLA put together to support NTLA-2001 looked into this non-clinically very, very closely.

From my vantage point, $BEAM does not have the analytical tools to actually know where edits are occurring in an entire genome-context. Maybe RCA-type ideas, or super deep NGS, but I haven't seen robust and convincing off-target analysis yet.

Seeming like they care, either for population karma points or for a more sinister reason like control. Like how the oil industry has spent billions to control the climate change conversation.

There is a two part explanation. First parties are coalitions, and the segregationists might or might not have been the same people pushing the social programs. Secondly the parties in the US were much less aligned on ideological grounds at that time than they are now. Today the Republican Party is almost entirely conservative and the Democratic Party liberal, but back then the parties were much more mixed.
It’s in the article.

> What links these developments is a loose constellation of ideas that is changing the way that mostly white, educated, left-leaning Americans view the world. This credo still lacks a definitive name: it is variously known as left-liberal identity politics, social-justice activism or, simply, wokeness. But it has a clear common thread: a belief that any disparities between racial groups are evidence of structural racism; that the norms of free speech, individualism and universalism which pretend to be progressive are really camouflage for this discrimination; and that injustice will persist until systems of language and privilege are dismantled. These notions were incubated for years in the humanities departments of universities (elite ones in particular), without serious challenge.

We can add to this list: meritocracy, capitalism. Both are considered racist and oppressive.

Tl;dr Woke means being opposed to Western ideals while pretending to uphold those same Western ideals.

Your argument would be valid if I didn't qualify the context. I wasn't talking about depression and at no point did I indicate that I was.

Also the proper way to treat depression is to identify the underlying cause, which can be simply rooted in brain chemistry but can also be environmental.

If you're suicidal because your family and social circles reject you for who you are and society in general treats you unfavorably and you are constantly harassed or fetishized by strangers, the problem isn't your brain chemistry.

The question isn't whether or not to treat gender dysphoria as a mental disorder (though in part, of course that is a question too, though one that seems to have been settled) but whether social rejection and harassment are harmful or helpful for trans people. And I'm saying evidence shows it's incredibly harmful and drastically increases suicidality and decreases quality of life (because otherwise social acceptance wouldn't measurably have the opposite effect).

If your concern is health (and mental health) outcomes, not making sure people stick to the gender and presentation they grew up with, the best course of action for trans people seems to be to accept them for who they say they are and make them feel welcome and valid.

There are of course other arguments against accepting trans people but those can be disproven separately and there's no reason to shift the goal posts if we're just talking about suicidality and quality of life.

PS: Of course trans people can also be depressed independently of their transness and in that case they will need to be treated for depression as well. But the specific suicidality rate that is talked about with regard to trans people seems to be evidently linked to their social acceptance, which tracks with other groups. Alan Turing was literally driven to suicide because he was sentenced to chemical castration for not being able to deny being gay.
I would agree with that. You only slip and evade so many punches before you strike back.
Many of these things took a lot of effort.
Examples were suffrage in Switzerland, only approved in 1971(by male voters).
Sounds crazy, the UK suffragettes got their way between WW1 and WW2, it's pretty shameful that Some anti homosexuality laws have been passed after that.
The same conservative outlets who point fingers at the Talibans for killing homosexuals have been on the anti gay train when it was convenient.

The Dutch simplified the most useful rule in the 17th century: "live and let live", it was codified into (maritime) law.

We have a system that cannot accommodate all views and opinions, but if we gonna call it democracy, at least the minorities should not be discriminated on.

But yeah, a bullies freedom of speech and someone with green hair crossing paths will cause some potential friction. If not right there on the spot, people will vent online.
Case in point, there's this guy Nick Szabo , intelligent person, but damn his Twitter feed and contributions make you wonder if he dresses up as a klansman in the nights.
This is ridiculous to the point of self-parody coming from the movement that spawned BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, a complete redefinition of the word “privilege“, and which demands the immediate firing and permanent silencing of anyone who has not fully internalized the appropriate “inclusive” language du jour.
How was working with tailwind in Elixir?

My understanding is that Liveview does SSR paired with a very light JS/AJAX framework to keep state on the client, similar to htmx for example.

Tailwind however generates tons of CSS classes that you might or might not use, so it parses your HTML and "purges" unused classes afterwards. It seems that this is far easier if working with a more mainstream framework.

Did you have any problems setting this up?
Tell me you’re joking.
* It’s not your device. *
Ok, What does it mean to own something? To hold it? To be able to destroy it? To use the services it provides? Maybe the receipt makes you the owner? If that’s your definition, in a very limited sense, you own it. But you don’t control it, because you can’t understand it fully, because you didn’t design it. In fact no one person designed it, it’s the product of the group, and advanced technological products like the iPhone serve the interests of the group, first. It just so happens in most cases the interests of the group align and benefit the user. After all we are very similar to one another and so this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. You want to buy, they want to sell. You need a service, they want to serve and so on.

With a product like the iPhone you’re purchasing access to an iteration of a design. Delivering that to you in a white shrink wrapped box is a clever marketing illusion. You can’t see the many huge factories full of calibrated robotic pick and place machines or the lithography setup used to create the chips or the lines of workers that assembled the phone one tiny piece at a time. You don’t see the endless cell towers on the horizon and all the engineers that maintain them. And we haven’t even begun to discuss the human labor that forged the design. There’s easily 500 straight years of skilled engineering labor in the modern iPhone. Perhaps even double that.

Here’s my point already. There’s some brain damaged, mentally ill, psychotic people who like to rape children, take photos of it and share it with their friends. Then what happens is those kids go kill themselves. This problem is happening at scale and it’s not in the interests of the group to let it continue. If the group believes it’s interests and your own diverge, you’ll quickly discover who really owns that device. They control the product they designed and manufactured and they can do whatever they want via signed software update, and you can do exactly nothing about it. That’s a fact.

A $1200 iPhone might be the best deal ever offered to a human being in recorded history. But you’re buying a service, leasing a disposable product. You’re a guest. That’s the truth.

It’s a really ugly image I have of the simple type of person who’s having a hard time choosing between email privacy and stopping a child predator.
It's not at all a modern conceit. Hitler gained power with the support of the right wing parties. Von Papen, who ensured Hitler got the chancellorship was linked to Zentrum, a right wing party that was the forerunner of Germany's current right wing CDU. The only party to vote against Hitler in the Reichstag were the social democrats (because KPD had been banned).

NSDAP had an economically left, socially right opposition originally (the Strasserists), but those who hadn't been expelled already were arrested or murdered during the Night of the Long Knives.

Meanwhile Hitler was repeatedly praised by right wing commentators and papers and seen as an enemy by the left.

To spread the fiction that the Nazis we're not seen as right wing at the time is offensive, and simply not supported by the facts.
It's not that it can't be done, it's that the community went in a different direction, and there's a strong cultural bias. Bell Labs internally had a "new make" written by Glenn Fowler, that went full bore into tracking dependencies, probing local and global resources, recording configuration state at build time, that we adopted in Graphviz. It was powerful and concise. It was also a heroic effort for Glenn to maintain and develop, though others were assigned. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6771042

At one point in our project we had a lot of arguments about build systems and software repositories (there were times when we had to stop talking about it), then at some point John Ellson said, look, everyone else is using autotools, so do you want them to use your software? We realized he was right.

Individuals in the software community are capable of building a lot of amazing tools. The difficulty is persuading the community and teaching non-specialists to use them. They already know how to run make, or ./autogen.sh; ./configure --prefix=$HOME

Despite this Graphviz still has 3 or 4 build systems: autotools, Visual Studio (probably 90% of our audience is on Windows though we try not to think about it), Xcode (needed for an under-maintained MacOS app), and Magnus Jacobsson and Matthew Fernandez have a lot of a Cmake build working, though not yet complete.

Well a good first step would be to accept that societal changes take time to develop. We have made huge progress in areas such as women's rights. Asian immigrants, which were severely discriminated against in the past, have achieved tremendous upward mobility in our society. There are many other areas in which our society has progressed. All of this progress has occurred without any of the radical discrimatory tactics that are used today.
Certainly agree with this!
Further thought: It's probably also necessary to spell out what exactly "equality" means for your operator so that programmers know what they're supposed to be implementing, and what they're getting from other programmers. It's interesting for example that Rust gets away with

assert_eq!(vec![1,2,5,9],[1,2,5,9]);

That's claiming a vector and an array are equal since they have the same integers in them. Neither of Go's notions of equality think these are equal but sure enough they do feel pretty equal in Rust, and in lots of places these would be interchangeable.
As this is a very new publication, it looks like it hasn't been licensed/spun-out to an industry partner yet. If I were a betting person, I'd go with one of the gene editing companies on the west coast. Maybe $CRBU?

And “immigration” lol.
Do you have a few concrete examples of large groups strongly advocating for equality of outcomes?

I’ve had discussions about “equality” with folks aligned across the political spectrum, and most everyone agrees they want equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. I’m confused about who or what group is speaking about people desiring equality of outcome.

And discriminating against other people because of their views - what if their view is, “group A of people, who didn’t do anything to belong to group A, shouldn’t exist or have the same rights as group B?”
Honestly can relate. I grew up learning Hindi, and while I can still speak it, I can’t read it (don’t really see scripture outside of India.) Not to mention my vocabulary is restricted to an 8 year olds. I just consider myself a “Westerner” now and that’s about it.
On my phone, I blocked the feeds for Hacker News, Reddit and a few other sites. I blocked notification badges on most sites. I can still get to individual pages from Google, but I can't mindlessly browse those websites.

> the entire reason

Maybe it’s a teeny weeny more complex than that?

Plenty of cultures and religions that did the same don’t exist any more. So I don’t think killing heretics and taking their children is a guarantee to success for a religion.
Why would anyone imagine or posit without sources that there is definitely a connection between these two movements? (In other words -- that an entity would be hypocritical for not supporting both)
Identity politics is a Marxist revolutionary movement. As Lenin pointed out, in the Revolution, morality is subsumed in politics and Revolutionary violence is not actual violence, or rather, it is not immoral. The is no mercy to be shown to anyone who obstructs the Revolution. Phase I of the Revolution is to destroy the values of the "oppressive" preexisting order. Phase II is the realization of the promised Utopia, which of course never happens. We are in the logically necessary nadir of nihilism where no values can claim universality. This could be considered the antithesis of Christianity. The woke are the intellectual vanguard of the Revolution when they are self-conscious of their historical role. Most are simply unwitting foot soldiers pushing this revolution forward like ants, without understanding. Many are simply aspirational elites playing the power game for petty stakes. Some are true believers. If you want to understand what the world looks like when morality is subsumed under politics, consider the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, for which that was a defining feature. The woke are playing a dangerous game, supported by the ruling elites who are thinking they can control this. Are they right? We'll see. There were plenty of elites who thought they could control the revolutionary forces they were harnessing to gain or keep power.
Yea, this sounds like the sort of problem described by Patrick Lencioni
The Nazis murdered all of the leftists in their party. Using the word "socialist" in the name as a marketing tool does not make them leftist in any sense at all.
I think that there is a hidden assumption, in wokeness. It isn't explicitly stated but it is strongly implied.

That assumption : The WOKE IDEOLOGY is realer than reality. That is to say, it comprises the primary reality and all else (time, space, dogs, cats...) Is secondary.

Thus reality is what we agree it to be. A side-effect of authority, consensus and conversation. If we agree that I am a frog then I am literally a frog.

And it follows that the greatest perversion is to contradict that ideology.

No doubt there are historical examples of something similar.
This is a perspective I had not even considered and that is why I am glad I came to HN to learn.
Thanks! I felt the same way. Glad I’m not the only one.

I’ve had people attack me like that before and it’s not great. It’s always someone in a position of power, too.
There are suggestions for neutral pronouns in English but in my experience they get even more resistance than they/them for being ridiculous/fake/made up/not real/etc. xyr/xym or ve/vem of zir/zem are all things I’ve seen ridiculed.
Occupy Wall Street died when infected with identitarians.

Unions, as weak and pathetic as they are, become a whole lot more interested in pronouns, systemic racism and illegal immigration than fighting for a decent wage and decent working conditions for their paying members.

Politically, there is no more discourse on behalf of the poor or working classes, only for identitarian version thereof. With the obvious effect that the shunned identities naturally don't support erst left wing policies that exclude them on identity marker basis.

Wokeness is a huge win for the ruling class. Divide and conquer at its best.

A fairly common pattern would be trying to create a specifically named file with the O_CREAT and O_EXCL flags. That's atomic, so you don't need flock. If it fails, then exit. This pattern is also often extended where you write your pid to the file and subsequent runs do a sanity check that your pid is actually running, and unlink the file if not.

That said systemd-timers, as mentioned in many other comments, is probably the right answer here.
“The best historians of later times have been seduced from truth, not by their imagination, but by their reason. They far excel their predecessors in the art of deducing general principles from facts. But unhappily they have fallen into the error of distorting facts to suit general principles. They arrive at a theory from looking at some of the phenomena and the remaining phenomena they strain or curtail to suit the theory. For this purpose it is not necessary that they should assert what is absolutely false, for all questions are questions of comparison and degree. Any proposition which does not involve a contradiction in terms may possibly be true, and if all the circumstances which raise a probability in its favor be stated and enforced, and those which lead to an opposite conclusion be omitted or lightly passed over, it may appear to be demonstrated. In every human character and transaction there is a mixture of good and evil: a little exaggeration, a little suppression, a judicious use of epithets, a watchful and searching skepticism with respect to the evidence on one side, a convenient credulity with respect to every report or tradition on the other, may easily make a saint of Laud (Archbishop of Canterbury), or a tyrant of Henry IV.”

As someone who is very slow to adapt to new language and social trends, I came away disappointed. I was hoping for more explanation of how ideas travel from a small group to the mainstream, but the only explanations given seemed aimed at delegitimizing the ideas themselves. Flame bait is perhaps a little strong but lazy and partisan I agree with.
It's more complicated than that when you get to later antiquity and vastly larger geographic scale, but I'm not quite sure how this matters for the early native tribes in Latium.
