You seem pretty sure about that for a person who wasn’t involved in its production. Even assuming, arguendo, that it wasn’t, would you contend that it would be appropriate to have such a character in a modern movie? Have you surveyed Asian people about how they feel about the Fu Manchu character?
I think this might be the best moment on HN, to talk about my my love of 'One Piece'. The highest selling comic-book by a single author of all time.

The joy of exploration, 'cool' moments, downright insane attacks, friendship and slapstick humor appealed to 10 yr old me. 20 years from then, it is still the best work of fantasy fiction I have ever read. Oda has managed to preserve all of those moments of childlike joy and unbridled creativity, while injecting societally relevant themes of authoritarianism, discrimination, the complex nature of morality and art that moves the genre forward, in a manner that is superior to a lot of grim-dark works meant to do exactly that. The current arc exemplifies that quality, 25 years since it started.

Calling a manga with 500 million sales underrated is ridiculous, but I find that it is still not appreciated enough in American & 'critic' spaces.

Here in the US, it is common to ignore manga because of the stereotypes that come with certain genres within it. However, I find that Japan's best artists & story-tellers find manga as their medium for expression more often than western counterparts.

I find that American culture tends to invade American media in a way that demands attention until the next 'big' issue is identified. Every community is forced to comment on the one issue, in a manner that kills all diversity and 'magic' from creative works. It feels lazy and repetitive. To some degree, it might do some good for American culture and American media to reorient towards more localized concerns, and not care so much about what is ruling the 1st-page of the new cycle.

The state of media Apps in General is REALLY low. Paramount+ makes me turn on subtitles for EVERY episode and ignores the system settings, HBO Max's app is a dumpster fire, Netflix doesn't integrate with Apple TV or the algo driven listings are terrible, Hulu is a broken mess all around. In fact the only media app I enjoy using is Apple TV+/TV.app.
Yes, the transition is really an 80's-90's thing. A lot of films are basically using comics from that era as storyboards. The few superhero films of that era were generally lightweight fare based on much older comics.

Google', "Do the right thing" could be understood as "if you have the power to do something, you have the obligation to do so". I'd say someone forgot that most evil in the world is done by people convinced that they're doing the right thing, but if that were forgotten the old motto wouldn't have been an impediment.

You could ask what idiot gave google this power, but the answer-- to the extent that they have it-- is each and every one of us. Fortunately, it lasts only as long as we keep giving it to them.

it's not about nefarious server administrators, it's about an attacker getting in, dumping the database content, logs and whatever else they can grab. they then search those for valuable information they can sell - like email addresses, username+password combos, payment info, the likes. those are then bundled and sold on the darknet to spammers and phishers.

if the credentials are in the logs they'll harvest those to attempt logins on other sites.

Sounds a bit like they might put you in the IT rather than the engineering department if you come in as a SE. Control is far outside the ballpark of a typical SE, unless you happen to have studied EE (which is arguably just another one of the 'hard' engineering fields). Sounds like short of having a relevant degree you won't be an engineer in those areas, and very few people get those mid-career.

An area that people do transition into and that almost puts a premium on plain age is therapy/counselling, but that's a far shot from technical fields.
Why do you assume a democracy can't censor?

All that a democracy is is a form of government where people elect some part of the legislature and the executive. If the electorate wants censorship, then the electorate will get censorship. If the electorate doesn't care much either way about censorship, but the people they elect do, then they will get censorship.
I'm aware that many languages don't distinguish blue and green, but English does distinguish them and we're talking about English terminology here. (Apparently in Japan the green traffic lights are officially allowed to be slightly bluer than in other countries because the word they use for them includes blue: an interesting case of language changing the world.)

I don't like "allowlist" and "denylist" because they sound wrong to me: perhaps because the first element of a compound should be a noun, not a verb, but that's just an attempt to explain what I feel. I don't like "blocklist" because that sounds like a list of blocks, something in a file system. Of the ones you mention, I think I'd probably prefer "golist" and "stoplist", which I hadn't really considered before. They're also shorter than "allowlist" and "denylist".

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term "stop list" has been in use since 1920, but "go list" is not recorded.
> Which sure sounds to me like "employers try to fill low-status, low-pay, often-crappy female-dominated jobs with yet more females".

That reflects an outmoded view of the labor market. These are good jobs for people who lack a college degree. Lots of the women in my wife's family have similar jobs. It's not like their brothers--i.e. men from similar educational and class backgrounds--are becoming doctors instead of nurses, or college professors instead of preschool teachers.

You do realize, right, that "implicit bias tests" are poppycock (and hence very likely implicit bias trainings as well).

I know we all see this as a slippery slope, but let's remember what's at the other end of the slope.

Anyhow, you might find it awkward, but the general assumption that "parent" is synonymous with "mother" to the exclusion of all other kinds of parents does real damage to inclusiveness, and the term "motherboard" flows from that.

I know your tongue is in cheek, but the mainboard may be considered a parent of the components, but it is not giving birth to them. "Parent" fits better than "mother". So your absurdist counter-argument doesn't really fit here.

We're programmers. We refactor mercilessly. Why shouldn't language be refactored mercilessly too? The term "mainboard" is available, widely understood, and well-adopted, so why not use that?

I don't personally ascribe to the idea that diversity of thought must be a value without the caveats I've ascribed above. The reason why I ask it is because I don't actually think my examples are that extreme; I've been presented with those literal ideas IRL by people who are otherwise quite normal. It's very common to essentially view other people as subhuman for their demographics. Therefore I'd like to know how to manage this fairly common human thinking pattern which functions to exclude other viewpoints, if we want to ascribe value to diverse human thinking. I've never been able to square this circle myself, therefore I am curious how other people square them.

To be clear, if the answer to "how do we both value human diverse thinking and also modes of thinking seeking to suppress other human diversity" is "well this clearly never happens", I think that entire premise risks being itself an extreme thought experiment with no grounding in reality.

This is a similar argument with other HN discussions "why go AWS when you can just host yourself". Yeah, everything is doable and nothing is difficult to learn, but just a bit of this and a bit of that and connect all together and suddenly you face hours and hours of smart home maintenance you wouldn't need at all otherwise. Because every bit of smart maintenance comes on top of dumb maintenance. Of course if DIY is your hobby then it doesn't count as work, but I have other hobbies so a smart home is not a priority for me - until it either works plug-and-play or becomes so standardized (and cheap) that I can call a technician to do it for me.

Michael R. Williams' "A History of Computing Technology" ( ISBN-13: 978-0818677397 ) talks a lot about pre-electronic-computer technologies and techniques for calculation and information management.

It's a solid suggestion for history of computing books in general. I like it better in several ways than the more common Ceruzzi book (especially because it starts much earlier and situates better), but it hasn't been updated since 1997 and some things, especially in the more recent history, are understood differently now than at the time it was written.
As the job market happens to be competitive and assuming you are rational player that wants the best possible outcome for yourself, yes you are forced indeed to do so.

An alternative solution to the game would of course be but that we, as a profession, collectively decide (at least a big enough subset of us) to not use social media for career gain and socially punish those of us that do. You as an individual can fight for that solution but whether it happens or even is realistic is not in your circle of power.

Again, I am arguing under the assumption that people want the best possible outcome for themselves and are forced to act based on that. If you want to argue against it based you on a different philosophical worldview (I guess what most of the world calls liberal or as they call it the US "libertarian"), yeah we can have a ideological argument. Just make it explicit whatever definition you use and how you think it helps understanding the matter.

As for carbs, I don't think that is a very good counter-example. Eating less carbs carries some significant social cost (being seen as a picky eater, reduced option when eating socially). Not to mention it simply costs more energy to eat consciously less carbs. Sure it might be worth it for some people but the benefits are not that clear and most people are ignorant of proper nutrition to begin with.
Eliminating sugars or salt will make you realize just how overly sweet and salty most food that isn't prepared at home is.

Exactly. I don't know why is it so difficult for people to understand that you aren't sexist, racist (pick your favourite -ist) for noticing this. The time you take to "educate" viewers about your preferred political agenda is time you are taking from the plot, from character development, from story cohesion... It feels forced no matter what.

This is not always true with regards to personal information.

I wanted to delete my phone number from Snapchat, but it wouldn't let me without adding a new phone number. Note that the account was created using email address so the existence of a phone number wasn't necessary. It just seems like some services love to collect personal information but not remove it, especially those that rely on targeted advertising.

Also, if you change an email address, in some services, the old email isn't actually removed from your records. I did a CCPA "download a copy of all your data" request on Epic Games and it basically stored every email address I ever used, even though it wasn't visible in the UI, and even if some are inactive. Instagram and Twitter are the same.

I’d like to believe that most people are like you and are just doing their best to make everyone productive and comfortable. I was a bit surprised to see how most people I interact with over the age of 40 or so (my parents incl.) are pretty stubborn about referring to people based on what they consider right, like it’s some act of bravery to disregard how someone else would like to be treated.

I agree with you that this hyper-focus and polarization on the topic is driven by some extremely opinionated media personas, and unfortunately when looking at my parents’ usual YouTube feed it’s apparent that the influence of this niche is far-reaching. I just wish people would get along.
Your first sentence seems to describe sticking around and your second sentence says nobody claimed they would stick around?

I appreciate the sensitive feedback, its nice to have a dietary conversation on here that doesn’t degenerate into a binary equation.

Grains are a big issue, but other things like the apples, carrots, peaches, crackers bounce up my blood sugar as well and would cause me challenges and likely have to go back on extraneous insulin to prevent the small blood vessel issues that hyperglycemia causes diabetics.

For someone to restrict carbs on a vegan diet you are limited to basically cruciferous vegetables and certain berries. While I eat those things now, its the addition of the meat and dairy products that I eat that make enough variety for me to stick with it. Eating the same things every day is not something that I am able to do with success. That is the real test of any diet you take on…it has to be a real sustainable lifestyle change. For me that is the real benefit of keto, I have been able to make it that lifestyle change. It has definitely benefited me for my diabetes management and weight loss.

I am realistic to acknowledge that there may be some long term issue, but the fact that I can get to the point of having a long term issue is the magic here.
I don’t know any off the top of my head but I am also very interested if there are any existing hubs. I assume it would be somewhere with good internet.
What you should do is write code in a way where rewriting parts of it is actually possible. If you don't do it that way you will eventually have to rewrite the whole thing anyways at some point.

And this is done by drawing in the right amount of borders in the right spot. I am not saying microservices, but you need clear interfaces between your different layers.

Rewriting is absolutely a chance to get things right but:

1. Never rewrite because you cannot understand the code anymore, or can't be bothered to read it

2. Never rewrite the whole thing at once
