This is why I only ever run PyLint with the -E option, which makes it focus on diagnosing actual bugs.

I am concerned about the trend in Python open-source projects to consider any deviation from their machine-checked coding style a bug. There's pylint and pep8 and isort and 'black' - the list grows ever longer.

I kinda like it when people yell at me for submitting a patch without tests. Having quality standards is great. I like it a lot less when some CI machine yells at me for failing to put the "correct" number of blanks lines between methods.

> How on earth can we get out of lockdowns and get back to living our lives, unless we fully expect everyone to catch covid?

You're painting two extremes and asserting one's not possible, and thereby concluding the other is ineluctable.

We've proven we can eliminate it (witness NZ and large parts of Australia), and assuming a policy of full vaccination and arrival / subsequent swab tests for visitors, it's quite feasible that once we've got most people in Australia vaccinated, propagation pathways can be well tracked, and propagation rates can be kept very low.

This logic makes no sense

1 Apple can read data you have uploaded to iCloud.
2 What Apple cannot do is see the results of a scan

What makes 2 impossible? if 1 is true then Apple can generate the scan and check the hashes on the server so 2 is possible.

What is the advantage? Apple will also have to push the scanning on device to the laptops too and what do you do with devices that don't get updated? Instead of having a simple solution that works for all images in iCloud you get a privacy-invasive solution that only works for some hardware that runs latest stuff. Seems to me that this implementation is not solving the problem of "Prevent CSAM to be uploaded to iCloud" but solves soem other problem and the CSAM is a cover.

It's not government spending as an absolute number, it's who - specifically which class - benefits from the money.

It's the difference between building useful infrastructure and giving a huge handout to a billionaire who is already one of the richest people on the planet.

The US generally leans authoritarian, and bullying at all levels is endemic. That includes the nominal "left", although the far right in the US tends to be far worse. Because while the US left is irrational about a few things, the US far right is hopelessly irrational about almost everything - and armed with it.
> This device could be capable of seeing or hearing anything that happens in your entire home

This device is your smartphone. It can already watch and listen everything you do. It can already read and write everything that's inside because that's how an operating system works. The fact that it can now scan for CP makes zero difference privacy wise.

If you don't trust your smartphone to do what they advertise, you don't use one.

If you believe Apple can make the iPhone send data to them or the governments without your consent and without even telling you, you shouldn't use Apple software in the first place because you'd have no reason to believe that such a feature hasn't already been implemented.

Your device scanning its content is not a breach of privacy until that information is send without your consent. Wether it is for malware or for child porn. Claiming that this is a slippery slope is like claiming that building a bridge is a slippery slope as the worker could place a bomb inside anytime.
I wonder if Merlin is all that remains of the wonder the ancients had for the Celtic culture and Druidic magic.
It’s hard to generalize about the immigrant experience. While there are indeed many cases where immigrant children benefit from continuing to speak their mother tongue at home, there are also families who want to integrate with their new home countries quickly and aren’t interested in maintaining their earlier language and culture. People who were members of an oppressed ethnic minority in a country that they had to flee as refugees, for example, might prefer to focus on settling into their new country rather than trying to maintain the language and culture of a country that they may never be able to return to.

While I consider TDD the wrong approach in 90% of scenarios, in dynamic languages it works out much better because the object model is so flexible you can mock just about anything trivially. In C# and Java it's just boilerplate on top of boilerplate.

>Bitcoin is the answer to central mismanagement of monetary policy, theft via inflation and corruption by monetary expansion.

But Bitcoin is just a different kind of mismanagement.

If you apply Say's law with the modification that money is also something to be produced then all that Bitcoin mining is fighting a mismanaged monetary policy. During the gold standard people realized that mining gold is more profitable than other forms of work.

People hate negative interest rates just as much as inflation even though negative interest rates allow perfect price stability and would allow Say's Law to apply without the modification.
> If you use a pronoun that can apply to multiple subjects or objects in a sentence, it will always be ambiguous.

My point exactly. There's nothing inherently unique about singular "they" in that respect.

Sure, there are certain circumstances in which a gendered pronoun removes ambiguity, just as honorifics or age/social status based pronouns would remove ambiguity in many instances involving multiple male subjects/objects if English used them (like some other languages do), but that really isn't a reason not to use singular "they" with the same degree of care to avoid ambiguity one also has to use "he" and "she".

I recently had to develop a feature that would have been much easier to develop and debug had I been able to view the contents of Local Storage and Session Storage before loading the site.

A particular feature of a web application (shopping cart) had different behaviour depending if the page was loaded as "an initial pageview on revisit", e.g. the user coming from [search engine|other link|bookmark|url bar] or from normal site browsing. By storing data in both Local Storage and Session Storage, and comparing the two on page load, I could determine if the user, who had been to the site in the past, had just come back. This all had to be developed in the dark as the major browsers have no method of viewing Local Storage and Session Storage for websites not loaded.

Chips yes, but microprocessors no. If it was a 3rd gen design the CPUs in that IBM mainframe would have been a large circuit board with a whole bunch of chips and TTLs, or racks of circuit boards. Third gen mainframes we’re still being built in the 90s and a single processing unit could contain thousands of chips. The 10-way IBM ES9000 9X2 contained over 5,000.

Bear in mind mainframes aren’t about fast execution so much, they’re about massive parallelisation and I/O bandwidth.
> It begs the entire question: if physical distancing works well, and mask wearing does not work (...)

There's nothing in the study remotely suggesting that masks have no effect. Instead the study shows that mask wearing combined with other factors have a clear and unquestionable correlation with reduce Covid spread.

Even if you wish to nitpick the contribution of mask wearing in the reduction in Covid spread, it makes absolutely no sense at all to jump to the conclusion that surgical masks have no impact in spreading airborne pathogens as that's precisely what surgical masks do and the whole reason why they are extensively used by the medical community for decades.
Nope, what you’re doing is totally misrepresenting what I’ve said. I’m saying if there are more effeminate men you’ll have on average more people who are transgender.

You could argue that the public at large "agrees" to total surveillance by:

1. Claiming such things are conspiracy theories, despite an abundance of evidence
2. Not giving a shit, even during the (very brief) period where it was covered (very briefly) in the news
3. Buying into all the thingly-veiled gov and media FUD about terrorism, paedophiles, organised criminals and communists
4. Not protesting en-masse
5. Not voting for a party that runs on privacy and anti-surveillance policies
6. Not starting such a party as in (2), since AFAIK it doesn't even exist...

> I agree meeting the needs of the company is king, but it was just a lot of unnecessary complexity because a dev wanted to put MongoDB on their resume.

Counterpoint: the dev is doing this to remain employable, so that they can ensure higher success in the future for themselves.

Their goals simply don't align those of ops and are at best parallel with those of the company as a whole - of course it's to be expected that they'll attempt to prioritize their own when there's a lack of governance and oversight within the company.

It's something that i've noticed more and more, yet is something that noone really talks about - people wanting to use bleeding edge technologies just because they're at the top of their hype curve: wanting to implement microservices when they're just maintaining monoliths and there's no need for them.

Personally, i'm an advocate of both microservices (or at the very least modular monoliths), containers and many of the new technologies, with the exception that i've initially tried all of those out in personal projects in the evenings and weekends. Yet what is the person who doesn't code outside of work supposed to do to remain employable? Would you expect a doctor to practice new types of surgery in their own time? Actually, why don't companies fund a week every few months for their developers to upskill themselves? Just a bit of time that's treated like a vacation, but during which they're expected to hack together prototypes etc.? Clearly most companies out there don't do greenfield or pilot projects, so something like this could help.

I don't think i have any good answers for this, but it definitely deserves more consideration!

> I don’t really see the big issue with Latinx…

Here’s the issue:

English had the word “Latin” which was gender-nonspecific, and meant exactly what Latinx is used for.

It fell out of favor, being replaced with Latino/Latina (used with the same gender rules as in Spanish) specifically because it respected the language and cultured of the people to whom the label was applied.

Recently, some have adopted Latinx in place of Latino as the neutral in semantic gender form (specifically in the Hispanic LGBTQ community, it is one of several forms that small minorities have adopted in part to express identities which specifically reject the gender binary [others include latine and latin@.) While the various forms used for emphatic rejection of the binary do have some uses, the breadth of the use to which many major – mostly institutions have adopted Latinx as a general term for the Hispanic community outside of an LGBTQ context is unwarranted, especially given that it is (1) unnecessarily unpronounceable, (2) awkward in English and Spanish, and most importantly (3) almost entirely rejected by the target community, where the overwhelming majority of the tiny minority even aware of the term reject it, preferring Hispanic (mostly) or Latino (less preferred than Hispanic, but vastly preferred to Latinx) as the generic term, if one must be used.

Spanish blurs the line between non-personal pronouns and determiners, so two things might happen: either the word "defaults" to the masculine, or it's actually being used as a determiner, with the noun omitted - then it gets the gender of the omitted noun. A bunch of them are also genderless, such as "quién" [who], "cual" [which], etc.
