> I think you'll find that this position is actually less common among pro-life people than the one I am describing. Exceptions for rape are rarely accepted by those who want to ban abortion entirely.

It seems like you're conflating "pro-life" and "people who want to ban abortion entirely". The pro-life position includes people who want to ban abortion in the general case even while allowing abortion for exceptional cases.

> Exceptions for rape are much more common among those who also accept at-will termination of pregnancy up to some gestational age (e.g. at-will abortion up to 12 weeks, or up to 20 weeks in cases of rape).

Agreed, but that doesn't refute pro-life people having rape exceptions (multiple groups can allow for rape exceptions).

> the vast majority of active pro-life campaigners are also opposed to sex education and free contraceptives, once more proving that the question of consensual unprotected sex is not in any way at the forefront of their ideology

Can you source this claim about the majority of pro-life campaigners (also, why does that seem indicative of pro-life people in general)? Also, even if it's accurate, I don't think it constitutes proof of much--in particular, they could hold that it's not the government's job to provide sex education or free contraception (I personally favor the government providing both of these, by the way).

In any case, rather than arguing about ONE pro-life position, it seems like it would be better to acknowledge that there can be multiple specific positions within a movement. I'm certainly happy to concede that the pro-life movement includes many people with extreme positions, why can't we agree that it includes some more moderate positions as well?
People do try to come up with new terms. I've seen such suggestions blog posts and comment boards.

The issue is getting everyone to agree with your new word or to even recognize the problems of semantics.

Many people also deliberately misuse the existing terms to get advantages. For example, DevOps in your title gives you a higher pay despite often being materially the same as a pure operations role or sys admin.

Go has always been a high level language, and is even more so now with generics. I would even argue that Go, correctly done, is halfway between the Java tier and the Lisp tier. Due to Go's quick and easy parsability, generation, and compilation. It is very easy to write tools for Go. Code generation and struct tags are even part of the standard, but very people use them beyond the basic serialization libraries. It's not quite lisp, but it is very close in many ways.

Very few people rewrite projects. Most change happens by new projects adopting one language over another. The fact that I hear of Python rewrites to Go is honestly amazing.
With great intelligence comes great empathy.

Sadly many do not understand that and cannot close the perceived gap between the two.

> exposes URLs in data

That's, uh, the point. Without that, it's not "the web." (And yes, properly-structured APIs are part of "the web" — e.g. the first page of your paginated resource can be on one server, while successive pages are on some other archival server.) This is the whole reason for doing HATEOAS: there's no longer a static assumption that you're working against some specific server with a specific schema structure in place. Rather, your API client is surfing the server, just like you're surfing HN right now.

> no websockets

Correct in a nominal sense, but not in any sense 99% of developers would care about. Instead of RPC over websockets, do REST. Instead of subscriptions over websockets, do REST against a subscription resource for the control-plane, and then GET a Server-Sent Events stream for the data-plane. Perfectly HATEOAS compliant — nobody ever said resource-representations have to be finite.

- Poetry is a 3rd party package manager, I'm sure it's great but it's not widely used (yet)

- Pip freeze just pins all dependencies at once to requirements.txt

- I don't know what "vendoring in dependency code" means

- I've never used pipreqs in my life (and 80% of my work has been in Python)

- Virtualenvs are just a convenient way to keep project runtimes separated

And for 90% of Python projects in existence the following is sufficient (assuming Python3 is installed):

- python -m venv .venv

- source .venv/bin/activate

- pip install -r requirements.txt

That's it. And all of that requires a single dependency: Python. Could it be better? Sure. But to call that a "mess" is an exaggeration.
RDF does not depend on XML. You can use JSON-LD or text-based syntax (N3, TURTLE or extensions thereof) and those are preferred in modern applications.
You are implying that two people reading the same physical book is piracy with your statement. With that kind of logic someone reading the same book twice that they only paid for once would be piracy if the author wished that they could have the book burnt after one read through.

The natural state of copyright is that it doesn't exist, it's only created because governments believe there is a benefit in enforcing it, be that benefit a greater production and distribution of works or more money in politicians pockets from lobbyists.

Implying that there is any legal copyright piracy is ridiculous as by it's definition the copyright does not extend to that area so there is no piracy. The closest you can come to the concept of legal piracy would be copyright privateering across legal jurisdictions.

I started learning Go maybe 2 months ago, and we're now using it at work in production for small-scale projects, with plans to make it our default server-side language. The onboarding experience has been quite easy and effective I must say.

I have only written javascript for the past ~5 years and while I've never gone bored of writing code in a ~15y career, Go has brought some pleasant freshness to my work.

All that to say that this guy and the whole Go team have done some good work.
Film grain is similar to noise which by definition compresses extremely poorly. By actually modeling the way the film grain is produced, they can avoid sending what is essentially random data over the wire while still preserving the visual effect of the film grain itself. That way, the bitrate can be spent to encode the actual video data at a higher quality.

Articles like this are good to show how fads and buzzwords in tech take on a life of their own. Hopefully there are some younger devs in this thread who can learn from it.

Us older guys have to do the opposite. As we see these things come and go, we get jaded and start to dismiss new techniques as fads. I shudder to think of how much wasted effort I put into "Enterprise JavaBeans" and "XSL Transforms". Years later, I took a look at React when it first launched, dismissed it as crap because of the mess it made in the DOM back then, and then ignored it.

I hate to break it to you, but there are many laws which are unpopular with a subset of a population, but which will not change in living memory.

Globally, the trend is towards stricter and more comprehensive regulation of blockchain-based transactions. While you may prefer (as may I) a freer regulatory environment, the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction.
Former DoD contract specialist here, Sam.gov is the correct jumping off point for both information on how the process works and for where to find opportunities. The small business set aside is very important, since the regulations require that small businesses be considered to the maximum amount practicable, before larger companies can even be considered (Federal Prison Industries gets first dibs though). Veteran, woman, and minority owned businesses also get higher precedence, and those qualifiers can stack up - a minority woman veteran owned small business is golden, assuming the company can actually bid and perform properly. There are some other areas, such as HUBzone/economically disadvantaged areas that are also considered, but that's better to learn about direct from the information on Sam.gov than from a HN post.

It is a daunting task to register and follow the procedures, and you must be very attentive to detail as a small business owner; however, there are a ton of resources from the Small Business Administration to assist. Don't hesitate to contact them. Be persistent, patient, and proactive.

It used to be much harder than it is today, which is why it might seem to most people that federal contracting is a corrupt good ol' boy network; newcomers simply didn't follow the instructions right, due to complexity and/or confusion. Today though, it's a perfect time to get in the door.

That's weird! HN links are usually pretty stable- maybe backend tweaks were made.

At any rate- I think that it's likely far easier to deal with waste that can be put in a barrel and placed somewhere, rather than waste that diffuses into the atmosphere and stays there permanently.

> The pro-life position includes people who want to ban abortion in the general case even while allowing abortion for exceptional cases.

Yes, but pro-life people are more likely to see “balancing mortality risks” cases as exceptional than “circumstances of parenting” cases.

Just like people opposed to deliberate homicide in general are more likely to see “self defense” as an exception than “the existence of the person killed reminded me of a bad thing that that person didn't cause”.

Rape victims are an issue that resonates particularly strongly with people who see the central issue as one of the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy, not those who see it as about the fetus as a human life.

> I think it's fair to say that, however you look at it, the quote is using "hard times" and "good times" from the perspective of the in-group, not any out-group.

That is not inherent in that quote at all. Quote is very general and also is used generally to imply superiority of strong man. Putin and his army does qualify even from our perspective.

Also, if you say it is only from in-group perspective and create such quote, then we are looking at genocide approving philosophy. In that case, arguing by fundamental immorality of both quote and underlying filosophy becomes requirement. Because if it is used approvingly,it will make us more likely to commit genocide or other similarly bad act.

Also, whether he created good times should be judged by whether people in in-group had good times. Large conquered territory is not the same thing.

Extreme moral statements like the one you made only serve to be divisive and to distract from the real conversation.
REST says nothing about normalization. In fact the opposite — a resource representation in REST is the very same thing as a graph in GraphQL, or a view in SQL: an arbitrary remix of underlying data. REST is meant to be a projected view-model layer for web clients to interact with underlying data through; it's not meant to inform or be strongly bound to the shape of that underlying data.

Are you implying causation or correlation? For example, I can imagine northern latitudes having more variable stocks of animals (and other food) during bad winters, so averages matter less than extremes.
I think it can be difficult to prove cases where it has been "good" because the counterfactual case is not there to compare with.

You can find situations where the government has implemented something fairly poorly, but that isn't often evidence to say "the private sector could have done this so much better!"

But on the other hand, you might find situations where there has been an enormous amount of advance/innovation driven by the private sector, but that isn't evidence to say "the same thing would have occurred with government ownership!"

That feels like a pretty significant quibble. API stands for “application programming interface”. If you cannot write an application to programmatically interface with it, why would you call it an API?
