People have been worrying about trans women in athletics for the last fifty years and the discourse against them competing has never changed. Underlying all the arguments is the belief that trans women are not women. A cis woman who is stronger, bigger, and faster than her peers is never called out for the circumstances of her birth and upbringing that allowed it to happen. But the circumstances of a trans woman's birth and upbringing is a matter of controversy instead of being a normal variation. If Lia Thomas was a cis woman with the same physical capabilities she does now, nobody would care.
I think the primary concern of these projects is feature creep, where you end up “why notting” your way back to the web as it currently stands: something originally intended to be incredibly simple that over time turned into a pile of hacks.

There is probably value in a project that aims to create a more intentionally designed and capable version of the web with standard rich interactive widgets, etc, but those would need to be separate projects with their own approach to keeping scope sane.
This would basically kill WhatsApp on iOS. Which is fine by me.

Doesn't it say more about our prisons that this is a real concern though? That the lack of ability to prevent prisoners from sexually assaulting one another is the expected norm? And it isn't like there aren't women capable of sexually assaulting each other, but I guess that's more acceptable somehow?
I agree with your points so much, all of them.

What do you think might be some better possibilities than the current mess?
I'd be happy with it if the developers listened to the users. GNOME 3 had a good balance of "getting out of your way" while still giving power users what they want. I had to leave GNOME 40 within hours because of its unbelievable changes to the UX, and I say that as someone who used to be a pretty big fan of the desktop.

The JVM has worked fine on the M1 from almost day 1. I have workloads running on AWS Graviton without issue. I'm sure there was work getting the JVMs up and running on ARM initially, but as a user who builds on top of the JVM, they have worked great for me.

> but had no choice because who would dare contradict science, right??

This is what I don't get. Science is contradicted and questioned all the time. It's the main mechanism by which science evolves.

Also a crucial feature of science is that it's literally always wrong. Science is the iterative process of building models of reality, and those models by virtue of being models never 100% represent reality. Scientists understand this and are always working to improve our knowledge by further refining our models.

Why do you feel like science is not to be questioned? Moreover, if you're dissatisfied as a practitioner with scientific review, why don't you get involved more with the review process? In my field practitioners publish and are involved with our research and peer review all the time, is this not true for your field? Can you work to change it?

In my experience if you don't agree with published research, you don't just lay down and accept it, you do your own research to counter it, and publish that with a big fat citation of the old paper saying they're wrong. Where does this idea come from that science is proclaimed from on high? If you don't like it, roll up your sleeves and prove them wrong -- science is done from the bottom-up.

Recent x64 AMD and Intel PC's use UEFI secure boot and require signed boot images, so this simple approach won't boot out-of-the box anymore I suspect. Same for Mac M1. So some update would be useful, without requiring to disable UEFI secure boot.

As your first paragraph alludes, logic is a good test for what is actually wrong and should be pushed back on. That includes detecting those agenda driven drivels!
Of course, if you list a time as 00:00 for a US audience, you'll probably get a lot of people complaining that it's broken.
GP's (I think reasonable) point was that typing A on the keyboard of a locked (or worse, sleeping) computer has no reason to be interpreted as "input the letter A into the password field that will be displayed on screen", which is what the original post is assuming it should mean. There's no real reason it should even mean "input the letter A into the first field that comes into focus", which may anyway not be the password (it could be the Username field in certain setups).

Anything Wikipedia which starts off with "...right-wing..." needs to be taken with a bag of salt. Have a look at the talk page for some pointers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:America%27s_Frontline_Doc...

This protected page includes biased and false information and should be revised to be neutral and factual. Examples are the following: use of "right-wing" as a political label use of "alleged and unapproved treatments for COVID-19" is false (treatments that have been unfairly discredited are medically useful treatments) reference to Dr. Gold's participation in the "storming of the U.S. Capitol" is inapproriate and the word "storming" is also not factual.

This is the most slanded page on here.

The whole write up is opinionated and has little validity

Etcetera. In other words, this is just another example of Wikipedia having been taken over [1] by activists who use it for agitprop.

[1] taken over as "ideologically motivated editors use the platform and collude to spread their ideology to as many articles as possible"

Gave this a try a few weeks ago (for CLion with Jetbrains Client, IntelliJ for Java might be further of course) and felt it was still quite lacking. Loads of features weren't there yet. Of the top of my head: no way to use my customized keymap, no git blame annotations, fundamental navigation shortcuts missing (jump back, navigate via file structure), no way to attach the debugger to a process, ...

I went back to remote controlling the full-featured IDE via Projector, their earlier approach too remote development. That works extremely well for what it is. Probably the richer Gateway client will catch up in a while, but not quite yet.
Fediverse is one possibe technology that can be used to implement this, but the core problem is not a technological one. Even in the Fediverse instances will refuse to peer with other instances - something that I don't think should be allowed for massive social networks that use their network effects to capture users.
No, it’s very different. We’re not talking about 90%+ of women, we’re talking about the women who previously held records, who now can no longer compete because we’ve expanded the definition of “woman” to include anyone who claims to be one.

We used to separate men and women in sports exactly so this wouldn’t happen. Now, you have no chance unless you are born male.
Just force monopolistic/abusive/anti-competitive companies to expose API's ; it's not a stretch; they did it for banks (psd2) and it's great for consumers and companies alike. Do it for everything; open systems make the world better. And they can still be monetized; it's not like forcing everyone to open source everything.

Edit: more subtle choice of words to indicate what I meant
Why did we as consumers accept this?

I remember back when MSN/Windows Live Messenger used to be one of the most popular options out there. Even though I used Ubuntu, I could still chat with my friends through the Pidgin messenger. This was all possible through the XMPP interface, which still exists by the way.

It's not just that these new messaging platforms are adding no extra value, they are creating worse experiences, and we're buying into it. You now have to install half a dozen messaging apps just to keep up (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, etc.) . And now we're suddenly talking about reinventing the wheel.
That seems broadly the same; in fact if anything a 30% fee walled garden is just easier to identify and choose to avoid than one without a walled garden.
That's precisely how I feel. Words can't really describe how taken aback I was when I typed in "sudo pacman -Syu" that fateful day and rebooted into... whatever GNOME 40 was.

> If one wants to get one's own position on whatever-it-is one must look at the primary sources for themselves

You can't. The archive isn't available. The huge majority of materials are not digitized and the digitization process loses a huge amount of important content (e.g., marginalia, letter forms, even the location within the archive). Archivists won't let laypeople touch old documents because you'll destroy them if you aren't trained.

I think there is a general lack of respect for the actual expertise that historians have when people suggest that laypeople just form their own opinions based on the primary sources. The various historians I know each know like six different languages and had to read 200-300 manuscripts for just their qualifying exams. A layperson won't even be able to read the primary sources even if they are in a language they know just by virtue of problems like handwriting.

This ignorance of the field comes through in your criticism of the modern project focusing on subaltern voices. History is in dialogue with other history. A historian that engages in this sort of critical reevaluation isn't throwing out the other material but is instead speaking to it. I think you'll find that the historians that you criticize have way more respect for the work that you think they oppose than the typical layperson.
If this is priced into the cost of the solar, then fair enough, although to bring this particular risk down to what it would be if the generation were in one's own borders would I think be prohibitively expensive, or impossible.
I'm with you on that reasoning, but it is worth noting that were we to drop the gender segregation in athletics then many female athletes lose their careers. It is easy to see why that's a concern for them, even if you don't agree that it is a good reason to keep the segregation.
Are you suggesting that someone who wants to publish their latest Facebook post to their Twitter followers needs to export all their Facebook data, select just one specific post from the dumped data, and then import that dumped post into Twitter?

I mean, that's theoretically possible, but it's not the most convenient workflow, and you run the risk that any tooling designed to automate it is frequently broken by deliberately incompatible changes made by Facebook or Twitter (or whichever other services you are using, in the general case).

Fundamentally the data belongs to the users, not to the platforms, so it is right that governments mandate that the data be able to flow according to the users' wishes. All property rights are legal fictions, especially "intellectual property" rights, but at least in this case the property right being defined is a socially beneficial one.

A lot of work in OSS desktop environments is driven by someone having a personal interest in building a feature.

I wonder if that plays into in (in addition to the effort hurdle mentioned by audidude). I turn off trackpad gestures every time I get a new machine - I just don't get any use out of them. I can't be the only one. And since Gnome lagged behind on gestures, we could presume many Gnome developers either have perfectly good gestureless workflows already, or haven't even had the opportunity to see what gestures can do.

http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/58/Peanut-Butter-C... was the very first thing I ever baked way back when and then I met my now wife and I learned to cook mostly from her.

Is this a product of positive feedback loops?

I always thought we will never win climate change die to human nature incentives, I believe besides to adeguate is to mix water with compounds to store it someway or crazy idea, build hundreds of space elevators and move water out of planet earth, in orbit, on the moon or mars? Having a high enough throughput one could even lower water levels?

Actually there are estimated 159k km3 of ice, if one has a space elevator that put 2 m3 of ice per minute * 100 space elevators one can put 0.105 km3 out of earth at year.

To reduce/increase water level of 1 mm we need to store 360 km3 somewhere
>I'm sure the scientific method will come through in the long run, that's my opinion, but along the way it is doing a lot of harm too.

And that's the rub. Most people who try to improve the system reinvent it with the same or worse flaws. You'll notice for all the hand wringing and complaining here about how flawed the process is, no one really has put forth a suggestion on how to fix it. A lot of people here are not even part of the process and looking in from the outside, so they don't even understand the incentives involved enough to fix it. Hence the endless complaining...
> We need an open protocol for social media already.

We have one and you are using it already: http. Just make your own blog. Add comments if you want. You can say or host whatever you want.

> It’s obvious the current platforms are too subjective

People chose platforms (HN, FB; Google, DDG; etc etc) because they make choices for the user. I can’t read every post my friends make on FB so I rely on FB to surface some that I will find interesting and provide as few uninteresting ones as possible. I use a search engine and ask it to choose for me which pages are likely the best to answer my question. The whole point of such tools is to be subjective.

None have a monopoly so you are free to choose the one that makes the decisions that are as close to your desires as possible.
> So the comparison is: if you're buying a jar of peanut butter, why would you focus on what their execs are paid, rather than the peanut butter it will get you?

I think we both agree on this. What they pay their execs is irrelevant. What I'm saying is, I'm not buying peanut butter, it's available for free. I am considering donating money for the peanut butter I already get for free, but the grocery conglomerate that accepts donations on behalf has already fired half the peanut farmers, and discontinued the Crunchy variety that I really liked.

I have a PhD in biology. You are wrong: the idea that human sex isn't essentially binary (with the usual rare edge cases of biology) is something that has been pushed by non-scientists with an ideological axe to grind; the essentially binary nature of human (and mammalian) sex is not something that mainstream researchers question in any significant numbers.

Yeah, I understand there is that controversy (should newcomers with different bodies be able to displace old timers)... and presumably there isn't as much controversy about trans men who can't perform as well as cis men?

But what I don't get is why women's brackets are so much more important than, say, racial or height or any other brackets.

As a cluster, are "people born with vaginas" more similar in athletic ability than "people born of a certain ethnicity" or "people who reliably ate at last 1500 calories a day" or whatever.

Presumably this goes the other way too, with cis women being better at ultra endurance sports than cis men. So what?

Like isn't the whole point of brackets to give lesser athletes a moment to shine in the spotlight, even though they aren't technically the best? So why don't they just make more brackets not based on genitalia?
I mean, your edit is being close-minded to their experience as well. You can't argue the virtues of subjectivity only one way.

So by your own argument, are Caster Semenya or Christine Mboma not women? In the fear around transgender individuals competing and somehow dominating all records (which is a small amount of an even smaller minority) you end up outright excluding cisgender women because they don't fit your increasingly narrow idea of what a woman is supposed to be.

There's nothing invalid about it, because you don't grasp that the words you see and hear are not the real language the brain uses to reason with.

All the different various religious sects would disagree with you, aka the fact there are so many versions of christianity each with distinct conceptions of god means these people "reasoning" have no idea wtf is going on in their brain.

I love it when people say that the UI is awful. It's a sign the UI is doing its job. It's the best gatekeeper there is. It isn't too high of a bar to clear, but people that can't clear it seem to have different values. So in a sense the UI is doing part of the moderation.

One value I have is: it's all about information and curiosity. People that need an aesthetically pleasing UI seem to not share this value enough.
