This argues in bad faith and is escalatory. No need to die on "pimp" hill.

The comment expressing dislike for the name didn't accuse or say anything about intentional offensiveness, only that they felt it wasn't appropriate in a professional setting. "Someone will happily take offense to anything" isn't true but many commenters have expressed dislike for this particular name. Nobody's coming for the words "bread" or "computer" anytime soon.

"Beautify my readme" or "glow up my readme" would convey the same meaning without the unnecessary sex trade connotation. That would let the work be shared in professional settings and put off fewer people, both positives! Charitably, the original author may not have considered negative connotations for the name. At least now they know it's not universally beloved.
My late father used to ride K3, and K4 Beijing-Moscow train very often in early nineties, when Russia had visa free travel with China.

That's where he made his first money. The train was called "Bazaar on wheels" back then. Amazingly, kids were usually just waved off at immigration at the time.
I actually partially disagree with this. Sure, for the higher level OS independent packages (e.g. “archive/tar”) this is great.

For stuff in the “os” package it’s a different matter. All of that code is a bit messy. Not because the authors did a bad job, but simply because it’s hard to implement the same API on half a dozen operating systems.

Then there is the “runtime” package which relies on a lot of global state, and has to work well in cases where heap allocations are not permitted.

Sure you’ll learn how the language works, but you shouldn’t draw inspiration from those on how to write your own code.
Do you know of any examples of good quality application code in rust?
If you count being forced in a box by government entities as imprisoned, he's been imprisoned since 2012. If you're a stickler for being literal, he's if nothing else been captive since 2012.

Not to mention the UN's guy whose job is assessing whether a person is being tortured has repeatedly said that yeah, what's being done to him counts as torture.

«Painting a picture of progressively severe suffering inflicted on Mr. Assange from his prolonged solitary confinement, the Special Rapporteur upheld that it not only amounts to arbitrary detention, but also to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.»

> Mandated ISO standards in 1947 was absurd secret law too. Democracy is not that new of a concept.

In the 1940s, if you wanted to read legislation, there was no downloading it for free off the Internet – either you purchased a printed copy, or found a library that held it – and you may have had to travel some distance to do so, there was no guarantee that your neighbourhood public library did. Most people viewed charging for printed copies of legislation as acceptable, given that it cost money to print them. So, in that sense, legally mandated ISO standards weren't fundamentally different from laws in general. Prior to the 1990s, when the Internet began to change people's expectations, the idea that everyone was entitled to a free personal copy of all legislation was not widely accepted, and few would have labelled that situation as anti-democratic or as "absurd secret law".

> It was not just a matter of getting in a phone and calling the ISO customer center.

In the 1940s, rather than calling the ISO secretariat in Switzerland directly, you would have called your national standards body, who acted as a reseller. Buying standards then was only harder than today in the sense that buying anything back then was harder than today.
OTOH, it could have a negative effect if people only read the title and not the actual content.

No, the density of cellulose is about the same as the density of other plastics, about 1-1.5 g/cc. For kitchen use, it does have the advantage over many other plastics that it's a thermoset; like teflon or phenolic, it won't melt, and unlike phenolic, it won't outgas toxic gases at ordinary temperatures (though who knows about the side products of the lignin-removal reaction). However, it is fairly hygroscopic, so it might not hold up as well as other plastics to water exposure, and especially to heat exposure while humid.

J&J split off a company and funded its liabilities.

"LTL Management has been fully funded to amounts determined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, the company established a $2 billion trust to cover additional expenses."

It's clickbait because it's inferring that J&J is somehow not paying out damages as per the court order. That's not what's happening at all.

Keyboard Shortcuts (2019)
What's stopping me is that time conversion is complex and incredibly difficult to get right. In order for a format to be successful, it must be usable on all platforms big and small, and across all programming languages. The more complex the task of implementing the format, the less likely it is to be successful.

TAI conversions are not equally available or of the same quality on all platforms and technologies, whereas Gregorian time is available pretty much everywhere and is well tested, robust, and easy to use (relatively speaking. Time is never easy).

If it turns out in future that I've made a serious blunder with this policy, I could just add a new type "TAI time" and bump the Concise Encoding spec version (Concise Encoding documents all specify which version of the spec they adhere to). There are still about 30 or so RESERVED type slots in the binary spec so we're not about to run out. We then get the type, just a little late. The alternative is that I make the format needlessly complicated by pre-emptively adding TAI, and risk destroying its adoption. Being right doesn't mean success...

The CDC recommends masks. This is the scientific consensus. If you google back in the past you see consistency in their policies with respect to all communicable respiratory diseases. Measles, H1N1 etc.. It's all there in Google.

For the current pandemic, they did not initially recommend masking because they could not justify it for the general population over the medical community. They wanted to avoid a tragedy of the commons of PPE. The covid19 prevalence was low so the appropriate path was to protect those most likely to be exposed rather than enact a universal blanket. Any blanket has holes regardless of how fine the weave is and the doctors/nurses/hospitals are the choke points. And they are ultimately the carers who save lives.

So this nonsense of the CDC said this and that is just that: nonsense.

There isn't a single example of it being "shoved down throats" in this thread, not even close. One person liked the visuals of the documentation and asked what themed it, another person answered. Then you came along and complained about a bunch of stuff that wasn't even happening. Here you are defending outdated and clunky HoCs, which itself is more off-topic than what's styling the OP's documentation.
Have they pulled back on the marketing vision that you say “Car! Take me to the beach!” and the driver just sits back and watches Netflix? I really feel like that image does this technology a disservice, since it could conceivably improve safety in some circumstances. But for a driver to just completely abdicate situational awareness is pretty reckless even with a high degree of automation.

The introduction of ECUs (electronic control unit) brought a lot of new problems to repair shops. And frankly many times they don't really know why something is or isn't working. In the end it often comes down to replace all parts in an error chain such as the sensors, cables and sometimes the complete ECU. It's just a different world for a classic mechanic.

Incidentally in a neighbour town a repair shop has popped up that has specialized in ECU repair. They developped a process to disassemble ECUs, dissolve the resin that contains the PCB and then do the repair on the boards.

It certainly would be possible, though I am not sure how they are doing it. More likely there is a server constantly running and backing up data, that people can join and make edits in real-time.

After looking at the website a bit more, it appears that there is a sort of VCS that is managed by the admins. Users make changes and send them to the admins, and if they are OK then they get merged into the main world.

My response to yours was in the context of the original comment from redwoolf. I don't think you were virtue signaling, I do think redwoolf was. Your comments were very clear you're offering your view point. And I agree with you, it's a weak name that nearly any other option could improve. But you didn't go off on an unrelated tangent about an irrelevant separate context. The other commenter did go off on a tangent, and that's why they're catching flack. And why we're arguing about language instead of README's. The problem from my interpretation is 'blaming' OP for a context they're not trying to envoke.
It's also good to take your user through the process, to let them know how complex a certain problem is and to make sure you get all the angles from a user perspective. This also makes them think they work with you instead of just being a client.
Yeah, I replied to the wrong comment, sorry. I navigated away and skimmed to figure out where I was when I came back.
Its not universal to all of .NET though.

F# does support this (e.g. Task<unit>) because in F# every function has only one input and one output. Therefore it needs a unit/void type at the lang level at least. This simplification surprisingly results in more power and less code compared to C#. Its part of the base design of the language, and an example of something that is hard to change afterwards in future versions.

In F# overloads for different amounts of type args to a function are not common, unlike C# with different types for each Func<T1, T2, T3, ... TResult> or Java with both Supplier and Function types and needing a custom function type for more args last time I checked. A use case that has come up for me would be to dispatch on variadic template args (e.g. loggers) in a typesafe way without reflection penalty, or looking at some of the libraries using overloads that could be reduced (especially in conjunction with inline for the value type overloads I suspect such as found in LINQ). When I see libraries with overloads for parameters like 'Func<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,T9,T10,TResult>' I think of this. Wherever you see multiple overloads in C#/Java just for the sake of multiple generic arguments; that can often be simplified if required/worth it.
It unfortunately makes all the hardware very messy, end around carry is not a pretty thing. You end up needing fiddly flagged prefix adders.

Could I trouble you to compare Ada and Rust, especially in terms of safety? I'd like to be able to write low-level code without dealing with the insanity of C, and my top picks are Ada (traditional answer to "safe language"), Rust (the up and coming answer to "safe language"), and Pascal (friendlier than C and way better at least for memory safety), but I'm reluctant to learn all of them to sufficient depth to be able to decide in retrospect which one was worth learning:)

Does that hurt performance of the output?
No it is not universal think of all those beater cars you see on the road they don’t need the precision as a 300+ hp car. Just keep adding oil. Also people do things like valve adjustments because they can be out by a certain factor and still run just with decreased performance. Obviously you can have certain aspects of an engine that will later prove to be fatal but there are lots of engines that run like crap and get people from A to B just fine. I am not saying some precision isn’t needed but for a lot of applications it is somewhat forgiving.

> (as it's my experience that the collective decision-making IQ of politicians is well below the 100 mark, thus we cannot expect to see smart solutions arising from them).

This is something I tend to think too. Any popular idea must be stupid because it has to be understandable to a majority of people, which includes low IQ ones. I wouldn't blame politicians though - they're just a reflection of what the population wants. It's their job to placate people, no matter how stupid or wrong those people are, otherwise they'll get fired.
Don't really consider myself a "nomad" in the sense that pre-pandemic, I would establish a home base in a country and then do frequent regional travel. Personally, I find staying in places a little bit longer to provide a richer experience as you're less of a "tourist". It's also less tiring.

The biggest pro of "nomading"/living abroad is the only one you need: you get to see and experience the world in a way that you will never be able to do if you stay in your home country.

The biggest con is that living/traveling abroad isn't always glamorous. You will encounter situations that are uncomfortable, frustrating and perhaps at times even a bit scary. Not all of these are external. Some are internal, like finding yourself questioning beliefs and values that you developed after years of being in your home country and culture.

The good news is that if you stick with it, these all become positive things. For me, it has allowed me to grow in ways I don't think I would have otherwise, and to realize that I'm capable of things that I assumed I wasn't.
