Only if there is some prior trust, if only by virtue of getting along for some time.

If you generally like the other person, and they come up with some incredibly stupid take you're more inclined to listen and ask for clarification than if the other person is unknown to you and says something that seems mildly wrong.

Political discussion is possible if there is a pre-existing and lasting relationship.

Why would you need to combine the DNA of random animals? Surely a well enough preserved specimen will have endless cells from which to sample DNA and piece together a full sequence.
Your not making sense. Normally a down round has negative consequences because of what it indicates. Here it indicates something different: they got a great deal in 2021.

It might not be possible to create a public forum in a way that it stays thoughtful and interesting even when it becomes popular.

The first problem is that thoughtful and interesting content rarely attracts many readers.

The second is that if many readers show up, the discussion quality is going down. So there would need to be strong centralized censorship to downvote the low quality posts and prevent accounts that play the populism game to gain traction.
Another way to phrase it is to note that the question is answered by the question of what happens when the wand is dropped and the goblin picks up the wand. Can it cast the spell? Then it belongs to the wand. If not then it belongs to the wizard.

In this case it just mean you have to match your game semantics to the decision of where to put the ability. That doesn't mean it would be a good idea to perform fighting by simple method calls on the objects though. It is very likely one would want to extract the abilities granted by skills and object to a separate entity that change seldom enough.

That doesn't mean I see what problems a schema solves here. That mostly seems like unecessary indirection..

Also note I don't try to refute the problem in general, just this specific example. Maths have lots of examples that doesn't have the semantic baggage that makes the question solvable.
I strongly agree with your comparison, I think it's apt. There's just no way to have a tolerably pleasant public-facing community online without some kind of moderation, and people have been railing about moderators in said communities for as long as those communities have existed.

That doesn't mean moderation is an easy job, or that it shouldn't be done judiciously or consistently, but it can't be abandoned.
As someone who was involved with many internet communities long before reddit, it sounds like the author is just experiencing the eternal September[0].

Pretty much since the day I found out about reddit in... 2008-ish?, everyone in the online communities I knew thought it was filled with awful pseudointellectual teenagers and college students, that the upvote/downvote system was horrible and encouraged people to post low-effort content, the moderators were overzealous and clueless, and in general there was no sense of community due to the size of the site + lack of individual identifiers beyond usernames, like avatars and signatures from a typical internet forum of the day. Basically, reddit is just as bad today as it was a decade ago.

But I'm sure for people who had their first internet-social experiences on reddit, they remember it a lot more fondly.

I will concede that objectively speaking, "new Reddit" is an abject failure (and the fact that old.reddit.com continues to exist is a testament to the such) and that it's much more heavily astroturfed by major corporations now.

Ah yes, the "sniff test", in which things which are untrue are assumed, which make the interlocutor sufficiently confident to pontificate. "Sniff test", as a concept, doesn't pass itself, rhetorically (-- or maybe it's a "code smell").
Having a proper type system can be immensely powerful. IMHO, duck typing is just adding the burden of type checking to the application layer instead of letting a compiler or linter deal with it. Pythons lack of a good type system is what I miss most
Static sites are great! You can easily do them with WordPress. Best of both worlds!

I would like the Jamstack people to show something cool Jamstack can do (that other solutions can't – or at least not easily), instead of just shitting on other solutions.
I think there are 2 major problems at play.

First, I have no idea what Reddit the company has been doing since basically every addition to the site in over a decade has been garbage and has made the site worse to use. The site is basically unusable without the old.reddit.com style, their media hosting is worse than imgur or any of the other alternatives, their app and mobile experience is worse than any number of free alternatives, and besides that I don't know what else the have done except gamify posts with their awards system.

The second problem is how communities on Reddit and the internet as a whole are structured, incentivized and evolve. So many of these communities are unable to check themselves (which generally requires very good moderation), and with incentive structures like upvotes and awards, posting is gamified where people post things they think others will approve of and will reward, which causes communities to become monocultures as everyone else just leaves, is downvoted into oblivion or just banned from the subreddit. These communities basically become filled with people who have the same opinions and circlejerk about them in ways that affirm their opinions and disparage ones that oppose them, causing them to slowly become detached from reality. It creates a community of people who basically become unable to discuss things with people who don't share the same opinions, which then carries over to interactions outside of those monocultures. Lots of these people just dont have the ability to even talk to others with differing viewpoints now.

The best communities and best conversations I have had online have been those that offer a lot of off topic discussions within interest based communities. Support group/ identity based communities need very strong moderation because they are much more susceptible to "radicalization" if that is the correct term.

In a decade this essay will still be available on some web archive, but the author will be fully grown, and the zeitgeist that shaped his adolescence, which is already dying, will be as transparently foolish as is, to contemporary sensibilities, a 1970's punk rocker shouting 'The Beatles suck!'

It is true Reddit is a pile of garbage, but it was a worse pile of garbage when its community was posting kiddie porn and creating 'N-chain' comment threads.

Why did the video not mention the critical American anti-Japanese politics that Raegen did: "we will give them an eye for an eye", the Plaza Accord, the 100% tariffs in the anti-Japanese trade war.

You're lost.

Those things are only useful if they help people. The root purpose of any system of government to exist is to provide for the health and happiness of the governed.

If any system of government fails to do that, it is broken, and the fact that you've lost sight of the entire purpose of government is both sad and entirely predictable.

which is kind of BS as Musk is 'paid' a negligible salary. Media needs to do a much better job of distinguishing between pay vs income vs assets. And this from the NYT - 'paper of record'
See, this whole metadata problem being used as a means to credit somebody’s royalties on a platform that wants to appear both on moral high ground and judicious to the artists and public is exactly the kind of problem that a blockchain would solve, technically speaking.

* Don't let dicts spoil your python code

Maybe that was implied?

Anyways, a lot of languages take another stance. E. Elixir where using dicts along with pattern matches calls for quite powerful abstractions.

As long as the dicts are kept shallow and the number of indirection in the code in general so, then it is alright to navigate and use.
That's another reason, indeed. I get that moderation is hard, but the way reddit handles it is awful. There are so many, potentially conflicting interests among reddit stakeholders, but the admins seem to be single-minded and narrow-minded. Recently, they closed "tumblr in action", which now has moved to another site, a reddit clone called saidit.net. However, don't even try to visit that site: it is a truly pestilent rat nest. The net effect is that the echo chamber becomes stronger for all sides. Great outcome for no reason at all. Well, there is a reason: reddit wants free moderators. Paying would lower their dreamt IPO value.

Neutral would be doing nothing and letting people work out their frustrations without an intermediary deciding for them. But that's not Facebook's culture, internal or external.

In a different world, managers could still have discussions with employees about hitting their work targets without needing to tell them what to talk about with other employees.

You don't need to participate in these discussions or read them. I'd say it's fine to relegate such discussion to certain channels within the company. But banning it altogether is taking a position.

Not to mention the fact that Facebook influences politics every day. Blocking employees from having a discussion about that, which is very work-related, is authoritarian.

Zuck is still running the Thiel playbook here.
Me too, these days the greatest days are the ones without crisis and when I don't need to do anything productive online.
My first reaction when I heard Elon Musk was buying Twitter was "have he and his team figured out the moderation problem?" followed by "he probably hasn't given it much thought because if he did he would realize he doesn't need that headache on his way to Mars."
" After receiving fetal diagnoses of spina bifida and trisomy 18, a 39-year-old woman was shocked that her physician would not even inform her about termination options.

Patients with pregnancy complications or preexisting medical conditions that may be exacerbated by pregnancy are being forced to delay an abortion until their conditions become life-threatening and qualify as medical emergencies, or until fetal cardiac activity is no longer detectable.

An MFM specialist reported that their hospital no longer offers treatment for ectopic pregnancies implanted in cesarean scars, despite strong recommendations from the Society for Maternal–Fetal Medicine that these life-threatening pregnancies be definitively managed with surgical or medical treatment

Some clinicians believe that patients with rupture of membranes before fetal viability are eligible for a medical exemption under SB8, while others believe these patients cannot receive an abortion so long as there is fetal cardiac activity.

In multiple cases, the treating clinicians — believing, on the basis of their own or their hospital’s interpretation of the law, that they could not provide early intervention — sent patients home, only to see them return with signs of sepsis.

An obstetrician–gynecologist recalled only one patient who was able to obtain an abortion at their hospital under SB8’s maternal health exemption, because her severe cardiac condition had progressed to the point that she was admitted to the intensive care unit. As an MFM specialist summarized, “People have to be on death’s door to qualify for maternal exemptions to SB8.

Some physicians with training in dilation and evacuation (D&E), the standard procedure for abortion after 15 weeks of gestation, have been unable to offer this method even for abortions allowed by SB8 because nurses and anesthesiologists, concerned about being seen as “aiding and abetting,” have declined to participate. ”

I think I must be living in a parallel reality where-in everything innovative is shutdown for one reason or the other.

From the short-time I've used it, it's clear that Github Co-Pilot is just a fancy Google Search in that it helps with remembering syntax and keywords which is already helpful, in speeding-up the boiler-plate writing and so is really a big help.

No one is supposed to mindlessly follow the Github Co-Pilot suggestions and of course if judged by that metric it won't help with code quality; but if used properly to quickly type-out boiler-plate code then that is when it becomes useful.

How many times does anyone want to write a for-loop or remember the syntax of how to declare something, especially when juggling multiple programming languages? It's these kinds of things that Co-pilot is good at.

It really depends on the organisation, but from my observation (I, myself, never developed any side projects worth releasing so this is based on what others did), most large organisations are not like that. Legal and HR specifically are very risk averse, so permission is usually denied by default, unless there is a overriding benefit to the company (or someone else to take the hit when things go wrong, a very cynical take I know).

Ethically speaking, I would think that as a principle, employees should never agree to ask the employer for permission to do things in their own time, for their own purposes, outside of the area of the business. Employees are just that, employees, not indentured servants. There are duties owed by employee to employer (and vice-versa) but this should not be one of them.
And yet it used to be something very different.
So you're against treating people with respect and dignity?
