The reason most devs have told me is basically security by obscurity, or they "don't care" about monetary gain/competitive advantage of their package/product.
Why would Wasm engines need to do inlining and dead code elimination? My impression was that Wasm is basically native level-code, save for register allocation, and some arch-specific peephole optimizations. Dead code elimination is the job of the C++ compiler.
No man, it's a deliberate look which sacrifices readability for some kind of retro-aesthetic whether they admit it or not. It's easy enough to reference things by section numbers.

And really, if they cared about being able reference things to the n-th degree, the figures would have been captioned and have their own figure-number instead of just sort-of "in there" like a paragraph (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8200.html#section-4.4).

FWIW, I think "inappropriate" is being misinterpreted here. A word or phrase can be semantically inappropriate even when the grammar and spelling are otherwise correct, like "most unique" or when it's clear from context that "penultimate" was used to mean "final."

All the specific examples given in other comments are about suggestions for inclusive language, which Google calls out separately in the blurb, but Andressen et al are up in arms about "inappropriate words."

Best comment!
I think an understated point in your linked article is the following:

“I think there’s legitimate criticism” of the growth in hiring of administrators and other nonacademic employees, said King. “At the same time, you can’t lay all of the responsibility for that on the universities.”

There are “thousands” of regulations governing the distribution of financial aid alone, he said. “And probably every college or university that’s accredited, they’ve got at least one person with a major portion of their time dedicated to that, and in some cases whole office staffs. These aren’t bad things to do, but somebody’s got to do them.”

A lot of people want to treat universities like corporations and apply a corporate model to academia, but that's not quite right; universities are more like cities, the concerns are very broad. Sometimes universities are cities (e.g. State College PA, which doesn't really exist separate and apart from PSU). Cities need bureaucracy. These discussions usually talk about "nonacademic employees" as if they are not contributing to the academic process, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

For instance, the office of student affairs will handle student emotional issues so that I don't have to. I'm not trained in that, I'm an academic, so I prefer that they handle these things. If they didn't exist, I'd have to handle every single medical issue my students have, and I have hundreds of students. Better to standardize the process for everyone, which saves times but creates a bureaucracy that takes personnel and costs money. I think the programmers can appreciate the rationale, we do it all the time in designing code.

Or take the office of research, which has a whole department to help me with my grant writing. It costs a lot to run that office but it saves us all a lot of time and makes our grants more successful, which benefits everyone including students. Get rid of that office and maybe you'd have more budget for academics employees, but they would each be stretch thinner than they would with the office of research.

Taken as a whole I appreciate the support that our non-academic administrative and professional employees provide us. Sure it can be a pain sometimes but my job is easier on balance.
I just checked and Party of Regions was never forbidden, many people just left it and joined other parties (e.g. party of the 2014 elected president Poroszenko)

BTW. If your president runs to another country and that country comes back with and army, what do you do? Oh, and before that that same president begs that other country to invade and bring peace. (and prime minister also fleds to that invading country, just before the invasion).
Even Party of Regions removed Yanukovych from his members.

For westerners: in Ukraine one could have a special "note" that allowed voting in any "voting office" - this should be used only in special cases when you are not sure where you will be during the voting (normally you are assigned to vote in your home region). As one might guess it was used to do some shenanigans, like a bunch of miners from eastern parts where being driven to many votes with those special notes. No one checked if given person voted once, or ten times. And there were many buses with such people.

And Russia really cares about Russophiles, they made two regions separate from Georgia in 2008, and they did the same in Ukraine in 2014. Coincidentally it was at the time both of those countries started taking a Western turn (speaking about EU and NATO membership).
I don't disagree with you. In fact, I think it's just a restatement of the PO's job description.

But POs who are technical enough to understand the system to understand what the requirements of the system are, empirically, unicorns.

Of course you are. Tons! They sell like hot bread ( as in within weeks of starting sales all appartements are sold, with 1.5-3 years of waiting for the construction to finish), and cost an arm and a leg in the really fancy parts of the metro area ( the Western suburbs).

Sure, but I think the GP was referring to a situation where revenue doesn’t match the traffic.

Imagine the grandma scenario. Let’s say that she cooks and sells artisanal jams and jellies. With the help of her granddaughter, she creates a TikTok that goes viral. Her web store immediately sells out, and the traffic from the video hammers her website. She cannot react fast enough to enable back orders and so most of those visits go to waste.

Putting aside the technical absurdities (why is she hosting on a lambda, etc), in this scenario, grandma is up a creek.

If this scenario were real, I would feel really bad for the grandma with a huge bill and not enough revenue to cover it, but I would be livid at whatever imbecile decided to set her up with such a ridiculous hosting paradigm.

“But it only costs pennies a month to run!*”

Yeah, until she goes viral. This scenario right here is why services like Squarespace et al are still valuable. You’ll pay a few extra bucks a month, but if you go viral, you won’t go bankrupt when the bill is due.
Thanks, it is really a good read.
> The price is increasing because people are willing to pay since they recognize how much it will add to their earning potential.

I assumed prices for colleges were increasing because of the availability of cheap debt. I know plenty of people who went to college, taking out large amounts of debt, and not seeming to directly consider their earning potential post-graduation.
Your supposed month-long personal journey from being anti-war toward being an enthusiastic supporter of Russian fascism and war crimes is about as believable (and as boring) as your demented fuhrer's history lessons.

It shouldn't have to be spelled out, but of course the best way to ensure "neighbours" don't get burnt inside tanks or strung up on Ukrainian trees is for them to stay the fuck away from Ukrainian trees, and to keep their tanks well clear of Ukraine.
Maybe the problem is the way it used to work and not so much how it works right now? Things seem to have changed a bit.

At least for websites I have to manually click the Brave Rewards icon (wasn't prompted to do it on a new profile) and it shows if the site is verified or not:

- My personal website (verified): https://i.imgur.com/WZykI2U.png

- Google[.]com (unverified): https://i.imgur.com/89XvzIz.png

And if we hover over the "unverified creator" text, this is displayed: https://i.imgur.com/IfKQUME.png

I guess the right way to do this is to only allow tips/donations for websites already verified... still, if you're going to use Brave Rewards, you probably have an idea of how it works.

Maybe things are different for creators on platforms like YouTube? I don't know how it works. I couldn't find a way to make a direct contribution with Brave Rewards.
Pretty much exactly my point, dunno why you're lecturing me.

You can say "women".

Or you can say the uglier, less clear, less concise "bodies with vaginas", which is more inclusive.

I think it's fine to use "retarded" like that if that's your culture and how you learnt it. People will know you're from a different background, maybe very old or foreign, or whatever. But if you're just trying to force an old meaning onto it, people will misunderstand you since you're not using the common "protocol".
Yikes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s always been this way to some extent - not enough people who can look into a problem and understand what is happening to make many things actually work correctly, so iterate with new shiny thing.

This is not that conversation.

I'm a huge fan of the comic, but there's a difference between discussing the worth of having art at all, discussing how we make art, and discussing whether every wall everywhere should be covered in art on expensive canvas.

There are two possible reasons for universal college: first, societal ones, where we presume that everyone going to college is good for society. In those cases, it must be justified as such, and crucially must be paid for by society (or viewed as a social duty).

The other case is to benefit the individuals that to go to college. In that case, you have to make the argument that going to college is a better option than not for (essentially) everyone as individuals. This is the tack that the US is taking.

None of this involves the wonders of carrying on a conversation unbroken since Plato. For one, many people don't have a liberal college education, they have a STEM education which, while enforcing some level of humanities exposure, views them as annoying requirements—this is both at the institutional and the student level. For another, most people think they're going to college to get a better job.

Using that comic to justify universal college, is like using a biography of Michelangelo to insist every mason should learn how to sculpt the Pieta. Some people just want to build walls. And we need walls.
I wonder if Bill Ackman is having second thoughts about investing in Netflix during this time of its losing subscribers and slowing growth.
Do you really find many women without college degrees that reject you over not having a college degree? I'd guess the problem is more the sheer number of women that get degrees - look at almost any subpar liberal arts college and you'll find an out of whack gender ratio. Those degrees really should not confer any legitimate social status, but unfortunately because they check the college box they sort of do.

I'm not doubting your experience, I'm just saying I don't think it is hypocritical in the way you're implying. A lot of women, especially in coastal cities, have a degree. So they think their dating pool should be people with degrees. It's not rooted in double standard, they are just severely overestimating the value of their degree.

And at the core, the reason a lot of women get such shit degrees is that other options like various trades are not as accessible for them. There are a lot of reasons for that - it's a complicated issue that I don't think can be boiled down to just misogyny or just misandry (or just both for that matter).
When our communication tools nudge us in a direction, they change who we are.

Well, probably not. The people doing this certainly believe that's true, but actual robust evidence for it is thin on the ground.

The conflation of symbols and abstractions with reality itself is an ideological assumption/intuition that's been a problem for the left for as long as it's existed. That's why 1984 features Newspeak so centrally, and why only one kind of politics is obsessed with altering representations of reality like movies, statues, stock artwork, etc. It's also why leftists at tech firms are so obsessed with the non-problem of AI bias: they see it as "biased" because AI can't be socially pressured in the same way people can, so they're afraid that it will represent the true reality it learned and by doing so miss an opportunity to reshape that reality.

Can you actually change how people think by subtly manipulating words? Psychology - a field very dominated by the left - has repeatedly claimed you can, but then when the claims get a little too good to be true they get investigated and don't replicate:

- Strong Sapir Whorf hypothesis (wrong)

- Weak Sapir Whorf hypothesis (very shaky even for ultra-weak forms like color words)

- Priming (wrong)

- Implicit association test (wrong)

There are probably way more examples. For less psych oriented stuff, consider that people have been systematically manipulating the presentation of job gender balances in movies and TV shows for decades, with nothing to show for it. Seeing lots of heroine hackers on the big screen didn't convince lots of girls they wanted to work with computers in real life. That's why there's now so much concrete discrimination going on: attempts to change things via more subtle symbolic means had no effect.

If Google Docs tries to stop people using "problematic" words, all it'll do is piss off lots of users and reinforce the general impression that Google is in no way populated by people as smart as it once was. The Google of 2004 would never waste time on cynical, nasty and entirely data-free attempts to mind control its userbase via underlining WrongThink.
It's maddening how many third party apps with huge permissions one needs to get a macOS device to be customisable, like a keylogger for even basic keyboard shortcut customisations.
I have maybe subscribed to Netflix for 2 months in the past 1.5 years. Their content is abysmal. I don't have numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if HBO Max is eating their lunch as their catalog is top notch.

> A growing number of real-estate professionals have stopped using the phrase ‘master bedroom’ amid a broader societal rethink of the language we use

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-real-estate-industry-m... :p
I don't think they have to change though. As long as there is transparency and an "open door", those same folks can ask questions in open channels on slack or elsewhere. I really don't understand why the can't pop by virtually...

The benefit of this is folks who would otherwise be left in the dark also get the benefits of seeing whatever answers are given (and recorded!), and reciprocate in realizing that there is a no culture of fear around questions or consulting others for advice / help.

You dismiss communications tools, but it's more about who is using them than the tools themselves in my opinion.

I work at an all remote org and we have definitely believe in open information sharing, quick decision making, and a high level of autonomy. And folks definitely take advantage of being able to pop by (huddle in slack, etc.), inform others of decisions, or raise concerns virtually.

On the flip side, I've worked in an org that was "move fast, open door, etc." but onsite and folks were constantly accidentally out of the loop because decisions would be made face to face but not propagated to the rest of the company (oops, sorry Jim, we forgot you were in the other office or god forbid on vacation). That's what I mean when I say these remote practices (ask in the open, having processes, effective communication) actually help onsite companies as well, and I feel most onsite companies simply ignore them for adhoc face to face lossy communication.
Exactly. This is the main problem with it. But how do we fight back against the employers when they hold all the cards?
That’s going from passive to active though. If active it can be considered basically like invasion/physical war.
> The main problem of Netflix, more than competition, is quality of content.

How fair is that though? Who's to say that we wouldn't find the quality of content of CBS/NBC/ABC to be equally as bad if we had it comprehensively laid out in a nicely engineered UI like in Netflix? In the previous model, most of us didn't watch TV for huge chunks of the day and simply weren't around to see if the television was good during those chunks.
It looks like garbage collection is at the 'proposal' stage, one step before it would start to be implemented.

"During this phase:

"One or more implementations proceed on prototyping the feature to the point that a comprehensive set of tests can be added.

"A test suite is added. These tests need not pass the reference interpreter at this point, but should pass on some implementation."

The more native apps you use, the stickier the ios platform is. To the extent that they don't care whether you use the web or not, it's only because they've already won in the markets that they care about and don't really view Android as a serious threat anymore.
As it stands, I know plenty of people who have degrees only to work in offices for $16 an hour, and to be offered terrible health insurance. Without those degrees, no matter how inapplicable to jobs they actually are, they'd be working in food service, probably under the table, without even shitty health insurance.

If you're middle class or lower, your kids will be relegated to even shittier jobs without degrees than the shitty jobs they can get with degrees.

Degrees in the US act as a class filter for employers, who are irrationally averse to hiring what they consider to be the riff raff, and degree-holders at the HR and hiring level use them to gatekeep, as well. Degrees are not about aptitude, proficiency, intelligence or tackling adversity, they're about keeping "those people" out, and signaling that you aren't one of them.

If your kids can't afford healthcare even with your help, a degree is still a good idea for them, even if the entirety of their estate gets clawed back by creditors to pay back student loans when they die. Being able to see a doctor and incurring debt is better than being denied preventative care for lack of insurance or inability to pay.

Trades often don't pay well, either, as an employee. I've heard for years about how welders can make six figures. Around here, employers expect to hire welders at $17 an hour, and whine that McDonald's pay rates impact their ability to hire, because fast food now pays better than they do.
I don't understand why this company is even part of "FAANG" in the first place as you can see it is nothing more than a side project of the likes of Apple, Amazon, Google, Disney etc.

This company has been long heralded for its engineering, contraptions and its overall technology, but when it comes to competition, subscribers, pricing increases and its content it is not good enough and with the increase of prices on consumers everywhere, Netflix is one of the first unnecessary things that they will cancel.

That is even before I even mentioned the competitors like Apple, Amazon, Disney, etc, eating their lunch as a side project.
It is the worst. It offers nothing to anyone, it has a terrible user interface, and it breaks basic features of the world wide web.

If AMP is genuinely a way to enhance online user experiences, then make it opt-in, instead of the current no-way-to-opt-out.
It’s about the political pecking order at a company.

If you’re working at a law firm, non-attorneys are often a lesser stratum of human. Likewise, engineers in some engineering company will see IT people as pretenders to the engineering throne.

Some people gain joy in finding creative ways to be assholes. It’s just how humans are wired.
College is one those transitional experiences, a short retreat after high school, before you are thrown into the "real world". You can let loose, party, be free--and learn some interesting things along the way. It's a luxury experience and you pay a lot for it. But it's hard for me to deny that experience or say with a straight face that you're not missing anything.
