They do it very gradually: from what I understand, the first time you meet them they use a device called an e-meter and take a fake "reading" and then give you some common sense advice.

I find the thought that Microsoft doesn't have the budget to support one more browser extremely amusing.

But it's likely just statistics as you said. Somebody made the genius move to say "we don't want to spend time testing a browser with 5-10% market share". Which of course it makes sense to MBAs but they are missing so much other nuance.
> If you figure out the reason why and cut through your social-programming, then you'll have them.

This is as strongly biased as the original question, suggesting that not wanting kids is wrong and something that they should perhaps seek to correct.

I'm pretty definitely secure in the feeling that I don't want my own kids or to raise someone else's. I don't consider others wrong for wanting descendents for whatever reason they do¹, while they sometimes take issue with my lack of desire in the matter. And being male I have it easier: not wanting a family seems more acceptable for us, were some female friends of mine are regularly nagged about it and even sometimes called selfish⁴. The “selfish” insult has always bemused me: we aren't begrudging the taxes that go into services to help parents and educate children, so we are net creators of resource rather than selfishly taking that which someone else might need/want.

[1] Though I question some more specifically: those taking on the responsibility² when they are not really ready or well resourced for it³

[2] I'm only considering those who plan parenthood here, or those who knowingly take actions that might result in it, not those who find themselves in that situation because of circumstances beyond their control

[3] Particularly those that already have families they struggle to support and intentionally have more

Interactive rebases are what I use as well. They're such a terribly broken way to use Git. You can't even start an interactive rebase (to go back and update earlier commits in the stack) in the middle of another one.
I grew up here in the US saying "zee". It's only now, in my wiser years, that I'm realizing the obvious: with "bee", "cee", and "dee" (amongst others) all sounding similar-ish already that we really ought to embrace "zed" for clarity.

Or we could all memorize something like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet, I guess.
> I'm personally happy to stay inside Apple's ecosystem

I used to believe that I'd stay inside the Apple ecosystem if this ever happened, but the ecosystem has become a total dumpster fire in the last few years IMO.

The App Store itself is riddled with 99% crap apps, there's a lot of advertisement that really puts me off, the macOS Store results are mostly copycat apps or very suspicious stuff (although most of the time the real Apps aren't even there), their own apps (Music, TV, AppStore itself) are buggy as heck for me, there's an incredible amount of notification spam from otherwise useful apps (bank app, Uber, delivery app, etc). They've lost control.

Opening up is more necessary than ever, for multiple reasons.
If the government does it its propaganda. I don't see how that's dated. Unless you count misuse of the term as valid. People misuse propaganda to mean media describing a narrative they don't like all the time. But those people are wrong and shouldn't be encouraged.

Third parties working on behalf of a government to spread their message do count as Propaganda.

The difficult part is telling apart propaganda from organic content. People have this idea of propaganda being a bunch of communists making posters with slogans or something. But that is what's really dated. How do you know a group isn't being funded by a government or affiliated with them? Sometimes its easy to tell. Like with Russia Today. They have the veneer of a news outlet but they are state owned. But when a lot of people get their news from social media its impossible to know who is really on the other side.
If you know what e.g. stands for, you don't need to expand it. Native speakers just say "e.g.", as in, "ee gee". If you don't know what "fx" stands for then how would you expand it? It's not a common abbreviation at all
Visit Rhineland, and you'll see the impact globalization has had on Germany. They are not immune to it. For example, Siemens has shut down a number of industrial plants over the years, shifting production to both Eastern Europe and China.
Oh -- thanks for the share! :-)
Light spoilers, but there is a memorable section in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe about criticism outweighing praise. The creator actually put negative Steam reviews for his previous game into Ultra Deluxe.

The game's narrator, speaking for the creator, briefly acknowledges overwhelmingly positive legacy of his previous work. He then devolves into an extremely long and funny rant about random Steam reviewers who "didn't get it." The creator knows he should not give this much thought to specks of negativity in a sea of praise, but he cannot help it. He knows they are wrong. It's funny, but also fascinating to see an artist grapple with his audience.

Highly recommend Ultra Deluxe, even if you've never played the original Stanley Parable.
How does that help? It’s like identifying in which continent a picture was taken.
> That's not regular matter.

Do You Need React State to Format Inputs?
The really good parts of having children are really difficult to convey, IMO, so viewing the decision as a pros/cons list (which is a highly objective, concrete thing), is usually a losing battle. There are always plenty of reasons not to do it, that's basically undeniable.

Yes but the round trip to/from the cloud can be a forcing function in a large bureaucratic company to dump a lot of ossified infrastructure and IT organizational baggage. When you re-localize you'll be building a new IT organization to do it and using new hardware.

Big organizations often do things that seem wasteful as a way of dumping organizational cruft.

The content range is very wide, and some of the most popular anime's/mangas are geared towards pre-teens.

But there's plenty of art that has no match in any other field. A list of my favorites if you want to test them out, that don't include "fan-service" (most of what you mention).

Wolf's Rain

Fullmetal Alchemist

Evangelion (includes some pandering, but the content is way
too original to care)

Berserk (recommend manga over anime)

Vagabond (manga)

Death Note

Attack on Titan

Utena (old, but a very strong story about grooming and abuse)

And these are the popular ones. If you start going deeper and branching out you can find jewels, specially in manga.

Not sure if the Q was directed at me, but I just skimmed your write-up. Here is a new word to add to 'logic, data, coding': mapping. ETL is mapping wrapped in IO, is it not? Btw, { data, computation, mapping, and interaction (aka 'glue') } seems to cover all the bases for me.

So, on one hand, we have structured, semi-structured, and unstructured source of truth silos of information that we seek to unify (which is the case you are considering). The other possibility is an unstructured pool of data that is annotated to some degree with metadata, from which we can derive (online or offline, as necessary) application specific 'databases'. Naturally the latter case is a better fit for greenfield systems, and the former the 'legacy' of ad-hoc growth.

I don't think anyone would seriously object to viewing the act of mapping elements from one set to another - the T of ETL - as application of functions, for that's precisely what it is. (Don't really know anything about C.T. to have an informative input in that regard.)
It's probably a feature of non-western English varieties. I've never seen "fks" used to mean "for example" and would never imagine that that's what it stands for.
You do need to understand the mechanics of monads in order to do even simple IO. E.g you can write:

do name <- getLine
putStrLn ("Hello " ++ name)

But you cant write:

do name <- "Buddy"
putStrLn ("Hello " ++ name)

You have to write:

do let name = "Buddy"
putStrLn ("Hello " ++ name)

Now try to explain that without basically explaining what a monad is.
Nice work! Looks super interesting and rewarding to work on.

If you are not familiar with the mantra, Knives are physical like sticks and stones.

"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me"

Harm from knives is physical and objective. Words can only hurt to the degree you care about them. You could call me a nasty name right now, and it would not hurt my feelings because I am not invested in your opinion of me. I have an independent sense of self worth. Understanding that you can change the level that you care about the opinions of others is a basic human skill.
> Note that the Higgs Boson has no part in the mass (and presumably gravitational interaction) of elementary fermions like quarks or electrons

This is incorrect — the coupling with the Higgs field is responsible for the rest mass of electrons and isolated quarks.

> and even less to do with the mass of hadrons

Yes, this is true — the contribution of the separate masses of the constituent quarks to the mass of hadrons is small, like you write.

> As a minority, this is the part of the “woke” university system that I find most appalling.

I don't know, I think your frustration may be a little misplaced. This recent tide in American culture of being on tippy-toes (limited as it may be to the liberals and closed circles in academia), I don't find it appalling, I find it... silly, if not admirable, because I understand it's coming from a good place. Imagine you're talking to a little Latina girl, you wouldn't skip a beat if you had to say something like "And these latinos, they did x"? We're in the midst of working through some tough problems in our society, being encouraging to a little girl is not a thing I'd admonish someone for. The worst that happens when someone says Latinx is they might looks silly, a reasonable trade I'd say given the stakes.

> Or to use another example, they have almost uniformly adopted the consideration of race in admissions and hiring decisions, even though the majority of every minority group opposes that practice

I think you and I have been through this in the past, but: the jury is out on this one, folks of a certain race were systemically oppressed for generations and as a result they are at the bottom of the barrel in terms of house-ownership, savings, etc. To not make the slightest of effort to undo the actions of this extant government is a ludicrous idea. When I see an educated person argue against this, I see it as a mark on their morals.
If I understand correctly, this is just a kernel-mode snippit to copy the System process token to your target process. It assumes you've already found a vulnerable driver to execute code in the kernel. If you can execute code in the kernel then yeah, you can give processes privileges they didn't have before.

Effectively hiring, retaining, evaluating and rewarding competent staff is hard. Even at a big company the datacenter can be a really small world, which makes it hard for your best employees to grow. Things are especially hard when you don't have a tech brand to rely on for your recruiting, and the staff's expertise is far outside the company's core business, making it harder to evaluate who's good at anything.
To split a commit...

1. Make a new commit to revert what you to come last

2. Make a new commit to revert what you want to come first

3. Make a new commit to restore/revert line 2 above

4. Make a new commit to restore/revert line 1 above

5. Squash original into lines 1 & 2 above

Alternatively you can use interactive rebase,
1. set edit on the commit you want to split

2. When the rebase stops, `git reset --soft HEAD~1` (I think)

3. `git add` and commit as necessary then follow up with git rebase --continue
Something nice about selfhosting on localhost with a modern linux machine (using systemd and systemd-resolved for DNS) is that by default *.localhost DNS queries are routed to localhost. So you can setup your local apps to have domain names like "photos.localhost", "code.localhost", etc. and not have to muck with hostname entries and such.

Setup caddy as a reverse proxy and it will automatically inject a local CA cert into your browsers and auto provision local SSL certs too so you can access local services by names instead of ports, and everything happily works with SSL automagically.

I really, really wish windows and mac had a similar behavior to just route all *.localhost queries to localhost.

Mercurial is also great for rebasing (that's cherry picking in Git terminology - not the same as git rebase!). If I had experimental changes, I would often just commit things and mark them as private (so they wouldn't get pushed) rather than shelve (the Hg equivalent of git stash). Then, when I actually wanted them, I would rebase them on to the most recent revision (using --keep so the originals were still there if something went wrong - then I could strip the originals when the dust settled). Hg is so easy to use that you can feel really confident manipulating the commit graph, in a way you normally wouldn't risk in git.

It helps that Mercurial has a really nice cross platform GUI: TortoiseHg. Version control is one of those things that really benefits from a GUI because you're manipulating small elements complex object - the commit graph. Using the command line is bit like using ed to edit a text file (i.e. with commands like "insert xyz between lines 12 and 13").

Why would fedex be better at running computers than Azure is?

Why does FedEx use vans built by a car company? They should build their own vans. The tires should clearly be made from rubber that FedEx vulcanized themselves.

McDonalds may be in the real estate business (and not the burger business), but FedEx is not.
"...amounts to the accumulation of wealth and power outside of the commons..."
Considering that we're talking about a publicly traded company, "the commons" (as you decided to label them) have the ability to purchase stocks (the right to recieve a certain percentage of in of the aformentioned company as well as voting power). The legislation doesn't address anything regarding stocks and if anything, it requires companies like Apple to share their work with their competitors South Korea style.
Because kids are awesome. It's great to watch them grow, and learn, and discover joy in the world. And watching them experience things for the first time brings back the happiness you felt when you first experienced those same things.

Raising them can be challenging, but kids themselves are great. "What's in it for me" isn't really a great question, though, since it's not about you.

This article gets so much wrong. For starters "to slash greenhouse gas emissions" is wrong; it's about nitrogen oxides.
Imo, your children are the beings you can share the most of your own experience of the world with, and that's a pretty good reason. Arguments about having kids being an expression of ego and conceits are both limited and misleading.

As a man still open to having kids, I've come to believe that the internet imbues us with contempt for one other via a kind of false familiarity, and it's also a source of literal mind viruses that make mutual trust and respect very difficult to maintain in the face of aligning to increasingly absurd narratives we think we need to support. It's a form of captivity, and almost nothing in nature breeds in it. I'm certainly guilty of it as well. Biologically, only a fraction of a given population reproduces anyway, and it's neither here nor there whether one does so or not, but evolutionarily selecting out over something we read on the internet seems like an avoidable fate.

I still believe kids are worth the challenges of sustaining an intact nuclear home for them, but I'd enter into it the way I have other things, which is that they will also cost almost everything, but it's a bet on ourselves and the hope of making and then being a part of a life. It's not a rational decision, which I think is the point. If it were, our species would have died out millenia ago.
