I am less than 2 meters tall, but I can carry plates wider than 2 meters between my outstreched hands.
Does that now mean that I am an ape? Actually, that would explain a lot...
> Thomas has said himself, that he does not care about pronouns, as long as he gets to destroy women sports

Source?

> don't understand why you're so offended

I'm not offended, why else would I mention multiple times that I'm being petty, but trying to make a point and start a conversation about transsexuality.

> Having said that, of course he's not a woman. No doctor in the world would disagree with me on that

Yet another person who doesn't understand the difference between sex and gender and instead decides to belittle me. Nothing I haven't experienced yet, still disappointing.
I found the instructions really confusing. It wasn't obvious at all that the order left-to-right was 50%, 30% and 20%. I have no idea if it'll work once I understand that going in, as it was I figured it out partway through playing.

Leaving the colors that did match with a black outline on the "keyboard" would work better if it showed me that it was yellow or green in addition to graying out.

Otherwise, it seems decently implemented. I'm not sure about the gameplay. I don't know if color matching is really as interesting as thinking of words. I don't know if that's just my personal interests or is more general.
For a counterpoint on Housing First --- the principle that at a minimum all people need to be assured a self and sufficient place to live --- I strongly recommend this edition of the Ideas Roadshow podcast, with Juha Kaakinen:

My experience in writing a small side project in both (on the order of 2-3 KLOC) was that the time to a working project is significantly shorter with golang. The time to the correctly working project was about the same between the two.

Golang gets out of the way in me doing what I want.

Rust actively resists me doing things I will later regret.

Also, unexpectedly, I have gotten some positive comments on my C coding style after I coded some Rust.

All of this is completely anecdotal and personal experience, of course.

I use a home-grown system[1] that does not require sharing credentials with a third party, has partial/fully automated (depending on financial institution) fetching of transactions, auto-categorization learned from your previously categorized transactions, and the possibility to create pretty dashboards that can be shared with others.

It's surprisingly simple (just a few lines of code) for personal use.

Haha, your comment on the weird date formatting rings very true.
Rarely ever have I seen something declarative and wished it was any other way.

I think declarative should be the default, where practical, for pretty much anything.

If you can't do it in declarative, it's often not a good idea anyway, or the declarative engine just needs an extension.
It's a fair question, and I don't have a good answer. My best guess is the effects of heat while the discs were in moving boxes for several cross-country and overseas moves. Some of our discs looked like they were delaminated.
This looks like a nice idea, though I can't really wrap my head around the UI. How do I tell people how to discover me? I signed up and my username was my email, I changed it to my name but the URL didn't change, and now I don't know if my email is set to something unusable (or, if not, where to find it).
Interesting guy, and this could possibly be an interesting discussion. But TBH, I flagged this because of the editorialized title.
> toxic assholes that can't believe other people don't want to deal with their shit

To use Twitter as an example, there has been the "block" and "mute" buttons for quite a while. I dont know why ppl dont use these more. To me its far more likely that the cancellation intent is to prevent the so called troll from speaking to others.
> I don't think people care when you start disrespecting their religion.

That depends on the people, or is it the religion?

Not relevant to my point.
Whenever I see something about the Talmud in gentile-dominated spaces I tense up a bit. I'm not orthodox anymore, but I was orthodox for the first 20-odd years of my life so I'm in the unique position of being around a lot of gentiles but knowing a lot about Judaism and Jewish law. This article is pretty ok, but its format is probably confusing for a gentile audience. For reference:

a large number of Jews do "daf yomi" (translated: a page a day), where they learn a page a day of talmud, everyone being on the same cycle and thus learning the same page in paralel. Many publications, talmudology.com included, put out daily (or sometimes weekly) pieces on the daily page of talmud, often aimed at working and/or unlearned people who don't have the time or ability to learn through a page of talmud (and draw an idea or two out of it) every day. That's why the article starts with "On tomorrow’s page of Talmud". The page of talmud that everyone's going to read tomorrow on the 30th is the 54th page of tractate Yevamot.
Wonder which terrible family member she will try and rehabilitate at the event, assuming she is well enough to attend.
But what you've posted is science fiction, in contrast there have been a number of historical civilization collapses. Something that's easily conceivable in the mind isn't necessarily practical or going to happen.

It's been over 50 years since humans last set foot on the moon. While there's hope that man will land on the moon again by 2025, success is not assured, and a catastrophic accident could set manned space missions back by decades.
My personal opinion here. We (NodeBB) decided to go with categories from the get go because it was a form of hierarchy that worked well for YEARS, and you don't go breaking things that work fine.

IIRC Discourse started without categories. The whole "bucket of messages" shebang. It did not go well, in the sense that I believe people kept asking for categories.

There's something special about a curated list of folders to slot messages into, that tags and labels don't quite capture.
>Happy to hear you consider mass deportation a solution.

Not exactly sure if you're trying to be ironic and consider my comment as fascist of some sort or if you actually agree.

>No, there is no moral justification in modern western civilization for religious or sectarian violence. We are nations of laws, the moral path is to work in the system to change the law

The issue is, you don't have a goddamned chance to change the law if you are a Muslim, unless you're gay or pretty much an ex-Muslim atheist pretending to be a Muslim, otherwise you fall under the "fundamentalist" definition and not a chance in hell you will have ANY important enough political position to be able to change the law.
Sorry, doesn't work like that if you're a Muslim, it only works if you are a woman / gay / black or anything your alternative governments decide to make the norm in the future, but it's definitely not going to be Islam or the Muslims so it's pretty futile to even attempt doing that.

>Again, this is cost of admission to western civilization.

No thanks, people are starting to get aware of this supposed cost and hopefully the majority will leave and the ones who will stay will probably be either the ones who accepted these costs or probably people who are there out of necessity and will shut up or just leave.
I'd vote for mass deportation, cutting ties and also mass deporting anyone who supports the west in any shape or form to the west and closing this deal.
I'm no fan of snap but I do use snap on Arch and it's pretty simple - you limit snap to nonsense (in my case Spotify and slack for corporate im) you should never use it for anything important - I don't really notice the startup time difference but Ubuntu is wrappers upon wrappers so maybe it's just badly implemented in Ubuntu
sounds like a terrible idea.
Something unique has happened and I don't think anyone sees it for what it is. A new type of agent has taken control of human behavior--or at least has taken a major stake in influencing human thought. Call it the algorithm, call it AI, call it a simple recommender. It doesn't have morals, doesn't want to benefit we biological beings. It is mindless except in a very narrow sense. The greatest of idiot-savants. It doesn't care about human values in any way as it has shown over and over. It doesn't even come with common sense. Beware its influence.

But it does generate money and so it is given free reign to bait us into psychopathic behavior if needs be. It is encouraged to inject whatever it needs to into our communications in order to keep generating wealth without any recognizable constraint.

I hope a counter or limiting factor evolves before we start killing each other as its thralls.
Okay, so about "cool URIs don't change".¹ 20 years ago I accepted this as obvious truth. Now I'm less sure.

URIs used to be like phone numbers, in that they were designed for humans — today, they're designed for SEO. But today, nobody memorizes phone numbers — people depend on their phone's Contacts app. Similarly, nobody remembers URIs beyond the domain name — they depend on bookmarks, browser history auto-complete, app-specific search functionality, and search engines.

Podcast feed URIs change all the time (old feed URIs redirect to new) and zero people know or care. I believe the same is generally true for web pages.

Playing devil's advocate to myself, AFAIK no browser automatically updates bookmarks even in the face of permanent redirects. They should, right?

To diverge a little from most of the answers which are about making games or something useful, I had trouble getting going on ANYTHING with that advice. I think I only started actually coding when I looked at projecteuler.com just because the problems started so contained and achievable. Before that I only tried to read a book and copied the code from that (this was a dead end for me). I realize some people hate this kind of exercise or find it boring and a grind, but for some people it is actually fun and if that's the case they should really take advantage of it getting started.

These days there's plenty of sites like leetcode where you don't have to set up anything at all and they can give you little bite-size problems that will make you learn the basics with a feeling of accomplishment.

Incidentally, if they decide they like these kinds of problems and want to become a professional programmer, spending some time on Leetcode or codeforces (later as it requires a little setup) alone can get them a good job these days. People around here dislike this fact but it is so useful if it turns out your child enjoys these kinds of problems.

Our mechanism is designed to make these questions less urgent. In in-person conversations, people are usually able to act as informal moderators for each other. We hope that will work the same way on Radiopaper, rather than needing to rely on the decisions of those who operate the platform. If you don't like a message directed to you, just ignore it, and it won't be published.

There will of course still be cases where Radiopaper moderators need to step in. We have a content policy that outlines the reasons we might do so: https://radiopaper.com/policies. But our hope is that most of the worst stuff will just never get published, because it will simply be ignored.
I think this[1] summarizes my thoughts about this.

It’s a neat idea but I’d worry if it scales at all to anything beyond a hundred or so followers. At that point it’s offloading the spam filter onto the author, which will end up not publishing any replies at all simply due to the effort necessary.
The rule is not spending MORE than 30% on housing at most, not that everyone should be aspiring to spend exactly 30% on housing.
Ocaml has pipes now.

It also has modules that take other modules as arguments and produce new modules - these are called functors. They're a really useful way of organising code, with F# you'd use .NET objects for similar issues. Nothing against objects - I'm not one of those - but the ocaml design just feels a lot cleaner.
Many people in this thread are assuming that the site can be used for "open-forum" discussions like most other social media sites, with whomever replying to whomever, when in fact it's more like a public 1-on-1 discussion board.
There is no problem from the libertarian perspective. Preventing damage and paying restitution is entirely compatible with the philosophy. Same as if you were dumping toxic waste on someone's elses property.
I feel uncomfortable watching the trailer, much less the movie. I’m not sure I know anyone who wouldn’t.

Also, I don’t understand that reasoning. You could make a film about the horrors of prison rape. That does allow or require you to film the actual rape.

I don't see what is special about VMs that would impart any exceptional ability to reinvent a language that (compiles into something that) runs on it.

As opposed to what?

There's more "modern replacements" for the C language that are backwards compatible with existing code/binaries than I can count.
I find this to not be the case. Essentially anything .netcore to .net5+ is Linux/osx/ windows.

Avoidance of DRY. This has crippled so many projects at my various employers. Bugs end up replicated throughout and fixed piecemeal over time because no one remembers where the bug got copied to. Or if it even was a bug in the other places! The original may still be correct but the copy may have been insufficiently changed, for instance, but after a few years no one is certain what was the original (good version control helps here). Current employer is about to embark on a massive copy/paste project (literally, that's the plan) versus properly parameterizing the existing system so that we can reduce the current dozens of copies down to a few manageable copies (where things are too different for mere parameterization changes).

What I've pushed for is simple, regular refactoring. Build it into whatever your release cycle is. Sprints? Every sprint involves a cleanup effort, doesn't have to be big, but something. Kanban? Try to make sure that X% (measured over some period of time) of your work is cleanup. Larger release cycles? Do the same thing, it doesn't need to be much but it needs to be constant. You skip it once, it's like skipping the gym for a week. The habit is broken, good luck getting back to it. And it's worse here, management will see an apparent improvement in output (because you skipped that cleanup for a reason, to achieve some other release goal). And it will become deprioritized.
I agree with--and have advocated for the same things as--your parent post, but your post is filled with things that are effectively impossible to implement (analyzing screenshots to prevent someone from even indirectly linking to a tweet?!) in an attempt to limit forms of speech (well, with the exception of the report button... but I think if you fix things correctly the report button could and should simply be removed entirely) instead of making platform changes that happen to make the world more pleasant. I sincerely hope you are never given power over a medium of discourse :(.
> If the land value tax is paid by the homeowner, the sales price of the land is zero (under a 100% LVT)

I let that bit of bogosity slip by me.

The sales price of valuable land will never be 0.

Govt may not see the price, but it will be paid.

You've convinced me that Georgists don't have any experience with actual people or economies. They just have a theory unmoored to reality.
The system could provide a higher friction way of accessing the unaccepted comment. This allows for audits (so as to compute the good-faithedness of the deciding counterparty), but still keeps trolls out of the limelight.

> Autogenerating PRs like this

The article specifically mentions that they were not auto-generated,

"It was also interesting to see the reaction from open source developers to unsolicited pull requests from what looks like a bot (really a bot found the problem and made the PR, but really a human developer at Code Review Doctor did triage the issue before the PR was raised)"
> I thought about how to explain my experience. The best hypothesis I've come up with so far is that the neurological process of seeing and the neurological process of being consciously aware of what I'm seeing are not the same thing. They're independent processes. The scotoma prevented me from subjectively experiencing seeing the book, but did not prevent me from actually seeing it, nor from correctly interpreting what I was seeing.

This sounds similar to the phenomenon of blindsight:

Agreed, the metrics he uses for CO2 consumption via flying are misleading: he compares the flying against total average CO2 production per US Citizen per year. Clearly, he's doing more than just flying in his life, so the comparison is meaningless.
>1) Except that NO OTHER COMPANY needs to prepay pensions for 70 years.

I wrote that the newspaper industry was the other that by 2006 was clearly in decline for the same reason as USPS letter delivery: The Internet. Most industries aren't like this.

>2) The USPS is supposed to be unprofitable--it's supposed to service everyone.

I said nothing about profitability. The Constitution also says nothing about profitability or anything else about USPS, other than that Congress has the authority to establish post offices. That's it.

That said, Congress has historically required USPS to self-fund as much of its operations as is practical. Were this not the case, postage rates would never have risen in history, before or after the 1971 reorganization of the cabinet-level agency to the quasi-independent entity that it is today. Nor would it have consistently issued new stamp editions to sell to the public.

More to the point, making sure future USPS pensions are funded has nothing to do with profitability, at least directly. It's simply good sense given the ongoing and, in all likelihood, irreversible decline toward zero non-parcel volume. Even if the USPS were mandated by law to always run at a slight loss to maximize customers' savings on postage, pension prefunding would still be prudent.

>The problem is that the arguments around the USPS aren't made in good faith. The goal is to bankrupt the USPS so that they have to sell off the extremely valuable real estate that many USPS facilities sit on.

First, there is no major political movement in the US to "bankrupt the USPS", presumably in advance of a sale. No political party has such in its platform. (If you reply that the very absence of such is proof that the plan exists, I'll just throw up my hands and give up now.)

Second, there's nothing in the Constitution that would prohibit USPS from being privatized, which has happened in most European countries, usually with little controversy.

from the 'read more' section of the site

> In 2015, YouTuber Owenergy uploaded a video showing a supercut of movies (in chronological order) in which Owen Wilson says the word "wow." This video claimed that Owen Wilson has said the word "wow" a total of 102 times (spanning the years 1996-2017) over the course of his film career.

> Many of the scenes mentioned in Owenergy's famous video mistakenly count phrases such as "oh," "whoa," and "pow" as "wow" occurrences and are therefore not included as part of the Owen Wilson Wow API - the total "wow" count of which stands at 91 as of 2022. Additionally, many of the "wow" scenes in Owenergy's YouTube video are out of order and are corrected in this API.

I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here. It didn't require any discipline to attain it. You know, you read what others had done, and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourself, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could before you even knew what you had.
