I think the proper solution is probably going to vary a lot depending on use case. Just full_name is probably a good default.

Reconsidering whether you actually need to store a name, or whether you need more than an “informal” name is another good default. I’ve scare quoted “informal” because what you probably mean is somewhere between “preferred conversational” and “legally identifying”, and people may prefer to use a name they’ve chosen in formal settings (my understanding of Xe’s article suggests xer do [and sorry if I’m misrepresenting that, or misusing xer]). I have used a chosen name (originally chosen by a friend) for almost 20 years, both in formal and informal contexts. And many many people do, even from childhood (eg choosing to go by a middle name or a specific variant of the name on, say, their birth certificate).

If for whatever reason you need or have a good reason to ask for/store a “formal” name and a “preferred conversational” name, those are probably reasonable default names, though you may want to also allow for multiple “conversational” names, and without qualification that can get ambiguous very quickly (which loops back to “reconsider” IMO).

> it's not like it meant changes to Firefox

And perhaps that's the issue. Mozilla doesn't seem to be particularly interested in acknowledging the position in which their browser now exists, or even listening to the feedback and criticism that arose around it in the last, let's say, 15 years. It literally does everything else but focusing on the browser development or figuring out how to make it attractive again. Changing the UI of Firefox once again to the somewhat dull bulky mobile-oriented modern style (for a browser which was always a desktop software) doesn't constitutes as a progress or helps the popularity and that's the only big change done in the last months.

This post done by Mitchell Baker is about american politics and the outcome of events from the last year and what Mozilla (assuming that's Foundation statement and not only Baker's) seems to suggest as "solutions" against. And I'd say that's the reason this submission is being flagged.

I'd never do this either. You and I have different ethics than this guy. We're all in agreement that's a total asshole move and no-one would be trusting him again in the OSS community, that's not in contention.

However, even assholes have rights. Didn't you ever play with neighborhood kids who take their toys and ruin everyone's fun just because they're losing? Total assholes, but still it's their shit and they can take it if they want to.

It's like me keeping a bowl of M&Ms at my desk at work to snack and let people grab a few when they pass by too, but I go on a diet and replace them with brussel sprouts one day. Don't act all butt-hurt that you're not getting your free sugar, it's my bowl and I'll put whatever I want in it.
It's probably not that strange. Once the plane hits the end of its life the airline looks to sell it off to some scrapper, so all he has to do is show up at the auction with cash in hand. As for getting it to Oregon, well, it is an airplane.

I also remember reading about a criminal defence attorney who did not handle cases involving sex crimes.

Apparently he was fine with defending murder suspects, but not suspects charged with even street groping. Or Gerard Spong's statement of being willing to defend anyone charged with anything, except Dési Bouterse; there are certainly worse military dictators on the planet.
This is a point I think needs to be shouted from the rooftops. We should always have sympathy for our fellow workers and stand up for each other. Even if you are doing a technically demanding job, you should still look out for those doing janitorial work and other "low skill" tasks you couldn't bear to come into the office without.

Historically, the most successful unions in the southern US were those run by communists, because they didn't exclude people on the basis of their race. They correctly recognized that the liberation of the workers could only happen if everyone was united. It was often a hard sell to the white workers, being paid the same as a black man during Jim Crow, but the results ultimately spoke for themselves.

Unions which were whites-only were far less effective. When the white workers would go on strike, temp agencies would just round up a bunch of black men to break the strike. Turns out being able to see people who look like yourself on a picket line makes you much less likely to cross.

Better verbiage would be "T-Mobile requires the ability to report your browsing activity to third-parties."
One particular (I think well founded) worry about the hereditarian position is that if genetic differences between ethnicities are admitted, people start thinking about stuff like, say, an active "blackness" that drags people down, and that they'd start insisting that every black person has to be dumb or something like that. That people would stop really meeting people as individuals (woke blank slatism, of course, has that exact effect already, which is partly why it sucks).

It's somewhat hard to get people to dispassionatedly understand that all the hereditarian position being true would mean that what differed between populations would be the counts of people with a certain levels of ability, and that's it. Dunk a smart black man, a smart white man, a smart East Asian and a smart Ashkenazi in green paint and you have four smart green men unburdened with any mystical force acting on their mental faculties.

Another possibility would be fears of things like "eh, they're dumb anyway" to justify giving up on people with a certain skin color because they won't achieve highly anyway, which would be heinous.

> There’s an abundance of supply of people with masters degrees in machine learning? How’s that possible? I thought this shit was supposed to be hard.

I think it's just a matter of proliferation of these types of programs, as well as a large supply of students.

Also, the average qualification of people working in ML is probably no longer a Ph.D, like it used to be. This is arguably because deep learning techniques require less involved math to understand, and are more focused on computational methods that work well.

So the field has probably saturated. When I got involved with ML for the first time (well, really, statistical signal processing) in the mid 2000s, the field was kind of dead, and very high qualified postdocs had tough time finding jobs.
Interesting, you just helped me possibly connect something in my own life.

When I was a kid I used hate using school toilets. And I was a highly anxious kid which would present as stomach butterflies. I dealt with constipation as a kid, which further made me nervous because I'd experience it AT school and be too afraid to sit down a while at school.

They're still going, but seeing them semi-complain/semi-get-cold-feet about VC funding on their forum makes me think they might not be totally in tune with reality.

From Ivan on the forum "We expected to go out for a funding round (and convert from bootstrap to salary-paying) last spring but, well, 2020.

Right now we’re trying to decide when to make a second try at it. The financial market for the likes of us isn’t back yet, and the virus rates are turning up again, which argues for waiting. But the economy and the future market is real iffy, which argues for doing it now.

If I were the mill team, I would get their patents nailed down (which I think they have mostly done), then get some token open source projects out there to show what they actually have in their trousers.

The probability of negative outcomes versus the a priori knowledge of outcomes, the context of the novel thing being introduced (direct health interventions versus convenience of cell phones is a great chasm), the similar evidence surrounding the novel thing.

As an example to the last point: many people did wait a long time to adopt cell phones and smart phones on the basis of worries about cancer, but there was already overwhelming evidence that non ionizing radiation doesn't cause cancer, so their concerns were misguided. Their concerns about novel devices were not applicable because the techniques and methods were not novel.

On the other end of the spectrum, X-Rays used to be a form of acne treatment, and there was no evidence on the safety of using them as such, just on the efficacy of the technique. As a result, many people ended up with all different kinds of cancer in their face, because there was no long term data on ionizing radiation's effects on DNA. The technology and the technique were completely novel and unstudied.

I never worried about getting cancer from a cell phone, because there was ample evidence proving the safety. I never would have gotten x-rays as acne treatment.
Uh huh. Sure.

I thought so too, but looking at the definition on wiktionary:

1. Any apparently useless activity which, by allowing you to overcome intermediate difficulties, allows you to solve a larger problem.
I was doing a bit of yak shaving this morning, and it looks like it might have paid off.

2. A less useful activity done consciously or subconsciously to procrastinate about a larger but more useful task.

I had thought that only definition 1 counted as Yak Shaving but apparently definition 2 is also in common usage.

I would personally find the concept more useful if it only meant definition 1. But that might just be me.

> on some kind of local wildlife

Wildlife?? Oh sure, "environmental impact" can be about wildlife and the environment, but it could also be as minimal as traffic patterns and aesthetics. That's why just about anyone can get in on the California environmental review process and go through several rounds of delays in hopes of extorting something from you, and a key reason California has trouble building anything.

On the other hand, "omg! birds running into the windows!" is as good a start as any.
I think most government software but especially voting should be open source for security reasons, so if that means the government is financing open source through some kind of contract vs. a grant, that's fine with me.
Ownership of (most) NFTs has absolutely nothing to do with ownership of the copyright, making this a red herring. It doesn't matter whether the minter of the NFT owns the JPEG. All that matters is whether someone is willing to pay to acquire the minter's digital autograph (i.e. the NFT). Of course if you are expecting a license or transfer of copyright to accompany the NFT then you'd better do your due diligence regarding whether the seller holds the necessary rights, but that applies equally well to old-fashioned signatures on paper contracts.

Correct, but the law at issue is specifically about housing needs, so you’d need to build apartments in this case, you couldn’t build commercial.

> Now if you were to do similar with something like an array, the original variable would be mutated.

That is false. To do a similar thing with an array, we need a non-mutating operation which returns a new array which is like an existing array, but with an element prepended.

Then we need a macro to mutate a place to replace an existing array in that place with a new such an array.

Then, exactly the same kind of behavior will be reproduced:

(defun array-cons (obj array)
(let ((new-array (make-array (list (1+ (length array))))))
(replace new-array array :start1 1)
(setf (aref new-array 0) obj)
new-array))

(defmacro apush (val array-var)
(assert (symbolp array-var) (array-var)
"fixme: simple implementation: ~a must be symbol")
`(setf ,array-var (array-cons ,val ,array-var)))

[1]> (defvar a #())
A
[2]> (defun x (v) (apush 'b v) v)
X
[3]> (x a)
#(B)
[4]> a
#()

What? Of course; we are not mutating any object here, but a variable: the local variable of x.

[5]> (apush 1 a)
#(1)
[6]> (apush 2 a)
#(2 1)
[7]> (apush 3 a)
#(3 2 1)

Lists work this way because they are made of cells, and those cells are immutable (if you want them to be) for very good reasons. This is part of the essence of Lisp since the dawn of the language.

It makes less sense to treat arrays that way. It's possible, but you need an exotic data structure to do it even halfway efficiently; that structure will never be as efficient as an ordinary mutable array for ordinary array work.

Whereas, treating singly linked lists this way is almost free of additional cost.

Many of the initial criminal acts happened in Afghanistan (kidnappings), which recognises the ICC's authority. Transit happened through countries like Poland and Lithuania, which also recognise the ICC's jurisdiction. Plenty of crimes happened already in ICC jurisdictions.

Furthermore, the US can do the right thing for once on that level and accept the authority and jurisdiction of the ICC. The ICC and ICTY have dealt with post-facto acceptance of jurisdiction ( crimes happened, court was accepted to have authority and tried criminals) so honestly I don't see the issue here. And if the ICC doesn't do it, it's sure as hell won't put their war criminals to trial.

> Sadly universities are wholey occupied in politically aligning themselves blue with focusing on progressive topics before the basics.

this is not an educated opinion in any way.

go live overseas, in a 1st world nation, by yourself, for any amount of time greater than a year, learn the the basics of the politics of that country, then come back to the US, go to college here, and tell anyone honestly that colleges in the US focus on 'being blue' before "the basics".

if you can do that without lying, you didn't do the homework of actually living overseas alone (away from echo chambers and US media influence).

laughable

The left-wing of the US is more right-wing than any other 1st world country, except MAYBE the UK and Australia. Maybe, depending on what you learn about social programs in the country you choose to live.

> Why does a museum buy a Van Gogh when they can just commission a replica, or easier yet, take a photo and print it on canvas?

NFT fans try to fix this by making something other than the art itself 'non-fungible', but in the real world it's the art itself that is fungible (and where it's not, such as buying a CD, you don't see people freaking out about how valuable their Taylor Swift RED album #22,724,123 is so special and unique).

> The arrival of mitochondria is kind of a red herring by comparison, in my view; we know cellular endosymbiosis has happened a bunch of times so it's not special.

The arrival of mitochondria, or the "merger" of the bacterial ancestors of mitochondria and the archea "host" was pivotal.

Bacteria and archea have been around for billions of years, ~a billion years longer than eukaryotes. Only once, as far as we know, did they blossom into the complexity of the eukaryotic cell, via a very specific endosymbiotic event. Most of the bacterial DNA ended up in the (newly developed) nucleus, where, in addition to coding proteins for the mitochondria, it could also take on lots of new functions.

We don't have a bunch of intermediate states between prokaryotes and eukaryotes-- it's a huge gulf that suggests a one time event that left most offspring unable to reproduce.

Whether we are talking about life on earth or other worlds, this seems very, very lucky, and very relevant to your interests-- it is why we got the big complexity gradient, and why, even billions of years later, you don't have "complex" bacteria or archea.
