The problem is that it actually is hard to define. If you’re a normal human being you won’t do dna tests or inspect people’s genitals or whatever to decide how to carry out your social interactions (and maybe you shouldn’t care anyway). You’ll probably end up with some combination of memory, guessing based on name, and ‘looks like a woman’. If you’re a state and are trying to make these classifications in law you’ll find it’s actually fraught with difficulties. This isn’t some modern problem with transgender people; there are plenty of people for whom biological sex is hard to categorise too, eg various kinds of intersex people, or those with unusual chromosomes or gene expression. Historic solutions would look like:

- apply social ostracism

- give some combination of legal rights of men and women

- go with however the person presents (and possibly avoid talking about it/have the person avoid the risk of confrontation about the matter)

- don’t define man or woman in the law and let the judges/people figure it out if need be

Maybe the problem is that the thing that tends to matter really is the social construct and not something that can be easily measured if only you had the right instrument. And then perhaps the issue is that legal definitions tend not to be as rigid as those used in, say, mathematics.

Another fun question to try to answer is what the definition of a person’s name is or should be. In my country there isn’t really such a thing as one’s legal name and the state/courts will go for a name you use for yourself or a name people know you as. But it’s still possible in society to get someone’s name wrong or to see cruel nicknames in the playground.
I forgot to write in my previous reply "Thank you for your levelheaded response. I know these types of discussions can get out of hand, so thank you for approaching without that baggage that sometimes comes with the territory."

Saying both is fair. I generally assume there is a primary intended target, but both is workable too. Your assessment is that both parties benefit from the change?
What version of WSL and what webserver, if I may ask?
Javascript can get messy even if you just need integers, since even naively used integers are stored as doubles. This means that sending a random 64-bit identifier from a server to a client and just trying to read it as an int can give the wrong value if you aren't careful.
maybe you mean the Nagle nodelay option on the sender? I don't think there are any real gains to be had by acking every packet, but I could certainly be wrong.
Honest question: where are these cheap, available houses? I thought I did live in the hinterlands, and there's nothing in that category here that doesn't need to be torn down. Since I work online, I might be able to move if the prices are right.
I would argue that saying, "some people have two mommies," is arguably age appropriate, but adding, "because some women like to have sex with other women," would not be. The teacher in question should have just said, "ok," or something and not tried to bring in a deeper discussion about sexual preferences.
Cancelled mine, but I remember you can disable the previews. Quite annoying 'feature'.
only the newer ones are much larger. the ones built in the 60s are still the same size they've always been. the point is # of hours worked to afford a house of a given set size is higher today than it was in the 70s. same is true for cars too and they haven't improved much: i know i'm cherry picking here but look at a corrola from today, the mpg is 35mpg, the same as it was 40 to 50 years ago. the new one is heavier than ever, loaded with safety features rarely used, nullifying most of the mpg tech increases.
> Because it really does seem like their high holy holiday has been, and is continuing to be, de-Christianized.

The thing that MADE christmas a "high holy holiday" WAS the de-christianizing of the holiday.

Nobody really cared all that much about christmas until the lore of santa and presents gained popularity in the 1800s.

The popularity of christmas grew because of the commercialization. Everyone loves giving/receiving presents and having an excuse for a big family get together and meal. The fact that it was initially stolen from pegan holidays to celebrate the birth of jesus was tangential.

I'd suggest giving the wiki article on christmas a good read through [1]. The war on christmas is something made up to make christians mad. It's revisionist history to try and claim that "just a few years ago, christmas was all about jesus! But now it's all commercial". It hasn't been about Jesus since the 1820s. And, at that time, it was one of the less popular holidays.

Fun fact, christmas was at one point banned in england by the puritans because it was associated with drunkeness.

> many people also mean "do people of all genders, upon hearing this term, feel included, rather than othered".

Yes, but this is a vastly more fuzzy criterion than the original one. What does "feeling included" mean? Who has the authority to declare how a group "feels" about something? Who even belongs to that group?

E.g., it might very well be the case that australian women did feel included when the term "guys" was used, because that was what they grew up with.
> I understand why publisher hate it (it takes away control), and I understand the monopoly concerns

And here lies the problem. Eventually, these two 'annoyances' will become much bigger than that. The biggest threat, imo, is that these will lead to news organization, journalists, and credible publishers to eventually close up shop as they receive less of the share of revenues.

I do agree with your point about AMP sites generally being a much smoother experience. But at what cost?
To tie things back to the article... how about looking at what Coca Cola did right?

I suspect one thing they did was avoid making the assumption that hiring candidates from marginalized communities compromises quality.
The government pays for those things with money generated in the cities. We need rural communities to grow food, but most rural and suburban communities in the US do not generate enough revenue through taxes to support themselves without federal assistance. Sometimes it is worth doing, but the cities make the money that pay for it. So again, why should we subsidize lower density that requires more subsidy and more energy to support? Our existing cities could be redesigned to be more human friendly and higher capacity - if we are going to spend federal dollars, thats where they need to go.
Sure. But you can't buy them. You can only get them if you sign up for their monthly service, "Nintendo Switch Online." And you can't have all of them. You can only get the N64 games if you sign up for the separately monthly. "Expansion Pack" service. And you can't play them on multiple profiles. Your son can only play Mario 64 on his profile if you sign up for the "Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack + Family Pack" subscription, which is about $80 per year. It's so expensive because they bundled it with a bunch of other stuff (hooray now I can also play Switch games online and I have access to the latest patch for Animal Crossing and some extra tracks for Mario Kart).

But I just wanted to let my son Mario 64, and $80 per year is too much for that.
"Long time no see" is a racist mockery of Chinese immigrant broken English.
Perhaps mataroa.blog or blot.im?

Mataroa is freemium ($ for auto-export and custom domain features, all else is free). Blot.im is paid, like a CI/CD that turns a git repo or a folder in your Dropbox or Google Drive into a static site.

I've not used mataroa, but did use blot.im when I was blogging.

Otherwise I second the recommendation for a static site generator, like Jekyll or Hugo.
There's also an argument to be made that this is on HackerRank. Just because they're using a contractor to do the dirty work doesn't excuse them from responsibility for this sloppiness.
Look man, my comment was saying you can't just cherrypick a single sentence out of context from a long study (especially when the context of that section contradicts your own point). If you want to argue about sodium intake there's other comments in here for that.

The statement you picked made it out that there is no correlation between sodium intake and heart rate. The study you took that statement from was making the point that we can't draw such conclusions either way.

I didn't say anything about whether or not people should flip flop recommendations. But don't irresponsibly cite studies. It defeats your entire argument when you do so.
Pretty sure if you mandate these policies, it would violate the Equal Employment Opportunity act
A Clash of Two Systems
I'd probably call it "Jepsen-testing". English is ambiguous, only so much you can do, so don't worry about it. People rag on titles too much on this site anyway.
Political screed from the right. The real weakness of the Charter is the Notwithstanding clause which lets laws in whole areas of society violate the charter for 5 year periods. The joys of political compromise I guess.

The complaint is that they were inconvenienced and annoyed during Covid and were unable to take over Ottawa for weeks in a street party designed to piss off local residents and weaken support for anti-covid activity. They wanted the government of Canada at the federal and various provincial levels removed, which didn't happen. They did, however, manage to bring down the leader of the Official Opposition.

Pro tip: If you're going to have a political movement, its actions should be arranged to increase support rather than drive it away. Blocking international trade, shutting down a city, demanding govt overthrow aren't the best choices for broad-based support. But it did look like a fun street party, although cold/snowy at times.

If you're interested in history, google Maple Spring 2012 and see how Montreal handled its summer of protests.
pretty sure that's because log is not well defined over the complex numbers, it's just defined over branch cuts.

similar to how

sqrt(x^2) != (sqrt((x)^2)

when x is Real but not Positive Real, because sqrt is not well defined over the full Reals.

It's not a flaw of notation, it's a flaw in the attempted math.
Bad ML Abstractions (Generative vs. Discriminative Models)
I didn't imply GOOG was setting up gulags, but I will refer to my early comment in response - it's either naive or bad faith to say that network effects from dominant players do not lead to enforcement in everything but name, and that the scope of concerns from engineers and the products they build should stop at "well, its just a feature." Algorithmic news feeds on social media was just a feature too.

Enforcements, mandates, suggestions, impacts, governances, features - spitting hairs semantically on the overall issue that tech "features" shape areas that tech and its product owners have no business shaping/influencing/impacting/enforcing but still do anyway, let alone even understand, and the downstream ramifications are significant.

They get away with it partially via enablers like your view which minimize the dynamic to local examples that open up framing the counterpoint as something absurd - yes, Google's gulags aren't built yet.

Edit - to put at least one impact of tech like this another way, it's not Google that puts a user in a gulag. It's the coworker of the user who notices a phrase the coworker also typed, was caught by Google, and the coworker corrected - why didn't that user also change it? All these second order effects were doubtlessly considered by that Google product team, I'm sure? Putting aside my original point that Google doesn't even belong in this space by a mile.
Conformance Should Mean Something – Fputc, and Freestanding
This is what I use and I love it => https://lumeland.github.io/
I called it "Jepsen-style" testing.
My (sadly passed now) brother in law ran a convenience store in a small town that also rented out videos. The big difference between a video store and a streaming service is that the video store doesn't have its content clawed back by the content producer "just because they feel like it". Sure, they had to buy video cassettes or DVDs at a somewhat higher price than those available to consumers to compensate the content producer for the increased distribution usage, but that was fundamentally a one time cost for an otherwise perpetual license.

And I have the same problem with Apple's streaming music service. Content I previously paid for has been revoked as no longer being available in my region. It sucks!

I think there's a clear need for better consumer protection laws or copyright reform. Loss of the first sale doctrine has been a net negative for consumers in my opinion.

They're doing an incredibly slow drip feed to keep people subscribed. There's tons of titles they own 100% and are not available so they can 'add' a new ROM every month or two.
> Netflix is a Hollywood studio.

A side project of Apple, Google, Amazon and Disney. Netflix is proving to be suffocated by them and they are struggling. It's stock performance is quite woeful and has crashed 58% from its high since it was found to be inflated with hype during the 2020 lockdown gains.

A crash like that in its price is due to the hype and speculation around its slowing growth and opportunity to find any remaining lucky pumps in the stock price.

Now it's found to be in survival mode torn apart by its competitors and customers cancelling their subscriptions. It's not the end of the world when they cancel subscriptions with their competitors, but for Netflix, it is more than the end of the world. In fact it is the end of the universe and movie streaming subscriptions is their whole universe.

Microsoft is more than worthy of this 'group' rather than struggling 'Netflix'.
Thanks for sharing. I just realized your use case could fit quite neatly into Inflex (my app, not open for signups, but has a “try” sandbox), a use case I never considered.

I have an unexposed WIP type of cell that is a rich text document. The rich document you edit has corresponding code, which you can also edit in the other direction. (screenshot https://mobile.twitter.com/InflexHQ/status/14923564133263360...) The neat part is that I added the ability to embed a “portal” to display another cell, such as a number or a table, which can be edited inside the rich text doc or at the cell’s origin. For tutorials, I figured it would also be nice to display the source code of a given cell in a rich editor. E.g.

The formula [plasma * 3.23224 + alpha] yields [7.289221].

You could edit the text (The Formula ... yields ...), or the formula and see the result.

Finally, the rich editor is already in a format ready to be printed as a PDF or Word doc.

Also, the source code being the source of truth means it’s very easy to version the whole system down to SHA512 hashes.

This could unify a use-case like yours, where you have the Google Doc and the Google Sheet bridged by Python, this would cut down that iteration feedback loop.

Being content addressable means that only tests that need to run would be run (see Unison lang), rather than running all tests every time, further cutting down on the feedback loop.

One question that comes to mind is: what if you could export code in the spreadsheet as a general purpose language like C or Python? Or even Lua? Also, would an on-prem/desktop version of the product would be valuable for this use case?

Thanks for the food for thought. This is a niche I never considered! And I’ve worked on a medical device for Amgen before! I forgot all about this.
Anything based on a static website generator is my go-to. It offers a lot of control but its really quick and easy to get up and running. I like Hugo. I built a blog in django but I found it more trouble than it was worth, at least as a blog back end. I spent more time building and tweaking the thing than writing. Now I deploy with hugo and don't do any tweaking or writing.
The problem is database. Distributed serverless-first SQL like spanner, Cockroach, PlanetScale are very very expensive.
I find this a very insightful application of the concept of colours to look at the problems of mixing code meant to run on slightly different and subtly incompatible runtimes, within the same code base, without calling out this distinction of "colour" by any particular mean of syntax, or tooling, or explicit documentation.

It's a good observation that helps, at least me, shed light and give a name to this problem that many will have experienced and struggled with.
not the median. But, the average person buying in at today's prices, is going to be pretty close to that. I saw one statistic that said 25% of millenials were living at home. and those that weren't, were spending 40% to 50% on housing. of course someone buying now, is even worse of than that 40% to 50%.

I think a better measure might be # of hours worked to afford 1 sq ft. (1970 vs 2022)
> I don't see how you could possibly think that is an appropriate subject for a 3rd grader, much less a kindergartner

My brother was born when I was in kindergarten. When there's about to be a new family member, how that happens and where they come from is a natural topic to discuss. And if you're going to discuss reproduction, the topic of men and women being attracted to each other is already on the table which means that the fact that not everybody has that attraction is also on the table.

My main problem with the law as written is the clause "in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students." The science of education is less than 100 years old, and modern child psychology is younger than that. I don't think anybody has any idea what is or is not age appropriate. This law takes something that should be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the parents and teachers who know the students best, puts a cudgel in the hands of one of those parties, and says they should be set against each other. That's profoundly stupid.
Not really, because any JS/HTML logic that you have needs to be downloaded into memory and compiled and interpreted by each client independently. Then, once loaded, any server-side data needs to be fetched from an API request and injected into the page in the proper place. Server-side rendering saves at least one round trip by fetching the data from the database and injecting it on the server side before sending the fully compiled HTML + CSS + JS as one static file.

So you have to have some server-side logic regardless if you have the need for server-side data. The small amount of memory and compilation overhead by the server-side rendering function is more than made up for by the time saved on network latency. It's just not a significant amount of computation regardless.

Importantly, the server-side is not loading a full DOM into memory before sending it down the pipe. It's just interpolating the resulting HTML/CSS/JS as if it were static after fetching the prerequisite data.
Yes, you can't do something if you chose to do something else instead.

Clearly you find earning/spending money more appealing than math.
I think you missed the point. In math terms: landlords are a proper subset of property owners, not equivalent. Using the latter term instead of the former is likely to change the meaning of the sentence.

For example: "landlords should pay more taxes" is very different from "property owners should pay more taxes".
Suburbs are not rural areas. Suburbs are sane living condition which every human being in the planet is entitled to.

Suburbs are also the source of majority of tax revenue.
That's fair, but should the lead time for housing projects be several decades? I'd think it'd be easier to zone the potential land first and worry about building when you can anticipate demand.
X86 and by extension x64 is weird for reasons even beyond what he talks about.

One weirdness I've hated is the layout of interrupt and segment descriptors. For interrupts the address is broken into a lower and upper half on either end of the structure, not ideal but workable. Segments on the other has 3 different places for the base and 2 different places for the 2.5 byte limit.

It's insanity to try and build the descriptors.
Especially given that the false takedown of the PHP docs dates back to January.

Issuing false takedowns against organizations whose code you use for free is a pretty bad look.

(It's also a pretty crummy product, I used to use it as an interviewer and am glad I no longer have to.)
It must be buried in the Fire Stick UI because I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'll have to check again.
Sorry for the delay in replying - timezones etc!

Democracy doesn't mean one person one vote per se - it means governance by "the people" instead of the tyrant. Ironically a tyrant might be deliberately installed in times of peril by the people and then removed from office later on. Politics were quite robust in those days. Politics - from politike I think (never studied Greek, only Latin) - people of the city, also "police" is derived from politike or perhaps polis, which is nearly how Police is pronounced with a Scottish accent - especially around Glasgow.

Let's face it when the Greeks came up with a functional democracy, slavery was routine and obviously women and servants and other undesirables were ineligible to vote. Times have changed somewhat since then but there is still much work to do to ensure full equality for all. One day we may all be able to cry "Liberty, equality, fraternity" and not frown at fraternity meaning brotherhood and hence is rather sexist.

Anyway, what we have here in the UK is a voting system which is called "first past the post". It does involve one person = one vote but it is designed to avoid close results meaning a hung parliament. I don't actually know anyone who is a fan of this system but then again voting systems are quite a niche worry at the moment. The US system for presidential elections "colleges" is even weirder than ours for parliament/PM.

Quite obviously the UK cannot be the oldest example of a democracy because the word itself is way older than the UK and the old Greeks clearly invented the concept and lived by it! The current boast I think is oldest parliament "Mother of Parliaments" but I think Iceland may have prior art on that with the Alþingi - "allthingi". That letter that looks like a p is a thorne and was also used in English until we unceremoniously ditched it a few years back. Thorne also has a form that looks like y so "Ye olde shoppe" which is literally pronounced as "the old shop" but most hereabouts will insist on as something like "ye oldee shopee". Bloody kids!
One that you have to find, and that your administrator might disable.

If they want to offer it as an opt-in, fine, but this is intrusive.
Is this not captured by “voting with your feet” by choosing to work there/leave there?

(This of course does not apply to the very disadvantaged)
She was banned on Twitter. I think it was temporary and she has her account back now though.

Facebook explicitly banned the theory and later unbanned the theory.

YouTube demonetized some videos about the theory, but I am not sure what the current status is.

Pretty clear censorship on Twitter and other social media sites.

Very unlikely they will share even if they really wished to, for one they don't want competition to have the same data, for another it will just expose them to lawsuits, some images are bound to be problematic and would slip their filters.

Openai just uses the word Open in their name, they are commercial company like any other, they are a business first.
