I think this is a backwards take. The social stigma against those not conforming to the assigned gender norms has been entrenched in our culture. We've been getting better in recent years - the number of fathers who beat their boys for picking out a pink shirt is dwindling, and as a society more of us are willing to entertain the idea that gender is a social construct that has no innate definition.

It's very natural that in an environment more accepting of transgenderism, that more people will feel empowered to explore the idea and question what it could potentially mean for themselves. The appearance that a group that has accepted a single transgender person will somehow "begat" more transgender people seems pretty natural through this view, and seems much more scientific than the idea that transgenderism has some mysterious power to corrupt an otherwise cis-oriented person.

Thailand is one example of a society that has had years of history and experience welcoming trans people. I'd be interested to see how your "social contagion" theory would fare there.

> Well, seconds have not been defined as "a convenient fraction of the time it takes a particular large rock to complete a full rotation around its own axis" for quite some time

Seconds have not ever been defined that way, because the time it takes for the earth to complete a full rotation around its own axis (the "sidereal day") was never a question of much interest. It's mostly relevant to astronomers.

Seconds were always defined in terms of the synodic day, the time it takes for a point on the earth that is aimed directly at the sun to rotate around the earth until it is once again aimed directly at the sun.

They still are defined that way, in the sense that the only purpose of other definitions is to match the traditional definition as exactly as possible. If cesium started vibrating faster or slower, we'd change the "official definition" of a second until it matched the traditional definition. Given that fact, which definition is real and which isn't?
I was introduced to Lego Mindstorms while programming on the Apple II in elementary school. It was a fun way to let kids that were a little on the nerdy side get to try some new things.

We did things like write security systems (beam cross triggered alarms), or make little cars.

It was called "Lego LOGO" at the time, I believe. (confirmed: http://lukazi.blogspot.com/2014/07/lego-legos-first-programm...)

Don't worry hackers. Lego has a long history of integrating with computers. This isn't their first attempt and won't be the last.
Counterpoint: It was $0.01 a year ago, and now it's $0.15. How's 1400%?
Isn’t it? The vast majority of people in the developed world have enough money for food and housing, and the powers that be work fiercely - if ineptly - to protect that. I’m not writing off the influence of power and wealth, but this sentiment just doesn’t seem empirical to me.

That's after Python cheated with native implementation of bitblt while all other implementations are doing it pixel by pixel, which is more correct.
What about campus tours?

Also, the nice parts of campuses like MIT are the outside and "welcome center" buildings. I imagine most of the closed-off areas are old, bleak classrooms and laboratories. There's really no reason or benefit for anyone whose not actively using those spaces to walk around them. My campus has those areas too, and they're not closed off but you'd never see anyone from the general public there unless they are lost.
Yes. In most applications, literally 45-70% of the fossil fuel is burned just to generate waste heat. This is a huge advantage for renewables, where it doesn't matter that you're not capturing all the energy in the wind going past, because it's not being consumed or generating waste.
If what you took away was that it’s fine to commit securities fraud if you also make rockets then I don’t even know what to say. A person is allowed to do good and bad things.

Musk was not facing overregulation by not having to commit fraud and misleading consumers.
Money is fungible.

Money spent building nukes is money not spent build out renewables that produce much more power for the money, and start producing immediately.

The amount spent on fossil fuels over the decade or two waiting for the nuke to come online would have bought that much renewable capacity, the which would have been displacing CO2 the whole time.
When was this? I stayed at the same La Quinta Inn just before the pandemic and it was not yet a homeless shelter!
The probability of someone just happening on that conversation while listening in, at just the right time, to just the right security engineer of the many security engineers in the company, approaches the probability of someone accidentally discovering the security flaw on their own. I think. It's hard to know with probabilities that are vanishingly small.
Apologies, I meant my point to be tangential. I agree with your general point. Our deployment pipelines go from build to prod though. With a general cadence on my current team of less than an hour. 6ish minutes to that is not a concern.

Even when I was on teams where the general cadence of getting changes out all the way to prod was on the order of a week, we still had changes getting to our beta environments in less than an hour. And that was on a team that wanted mutation testing, so we had it.

Edit: So my point was team mates that were worried about the 6 minutes added by mutation testing there, were the ones that would commit and then constantly refresh the page so that they could "approve" a change as it goes out. I pushed for all approvals to be automated, so there was nothing for them to watch.
> my wife and I decided our kids won't have video games. We'll see how it goes.

I think you kid would feel excluded in school, when everyone is playing together online and talking about the latest games.
They are, but unlike in 1975, LEGO now makes it very difficult for people to actually buy just bricks. They won't sell plain packs of bricks to shops unless they buy large numbers of the themed sets.
Ideological purity only works when you actually give people a good alternative. Otherwise you cause more harm than good.

I see it in things like transportation, power generation, recycling. People refuse to use the best methods because then people will never switch - except they never offer the thing that you are supposed to switch to.

I'm actually kinda surprised to see it in a programing language.
The tax write-off you get is determined by how much the car goes for at auction. You get a receipt so you can accurately file your taxes. There's no gaming here, unless you lie on your taxes, which isn't really a tax dodge.
Autopilot in planes does change course. In GA it's called GPSS steering and a lot of planes have it. I believe jet planes have more sophisticated autopilot that can change when ATC gives a new heading.
And it wouldn't surprise me if after adjusting for soccer and bike related medical costs, video games still beat those out in cost per unit time.
At least if you have a spec and an implementation, you have two descriptions. We can then have some hope that any bug isn't present in both of them, and we can decide which of the two was more reasonable.
SuperCruise and FSD currently don't even work on any of the same roads. FSD is for non-freeway roads, and SuperCruise only works on (some) freeways. Autopilot is Tesla's system that works on freeways. (Tesla does plan to merge Autopilot and FSD eventually, and SuperCruise will expand to some non-freeway roads, but neither has happened yet).

SuperCruise is only rated higher than Autopilot when people use rating systems that dock Autopilot for having fewer driver monitoring features, i.e. nanny features that scold you for not paying enough attention. I haven't seen any evidence that the actual driving part of SuperCruise or any other competitor is better than Autopilot.
Well. Stealing removes the original from the owner, so it's a distinctively different act to copying.

You're kind of making the "you wouldn't download a car" argument which personally I always found a bit ridiculous, if I could download a car of course I would. What reasoning is there to pay for something that can be obtained for free and the consequences of you obtaining it for free are the same consequences of you never having it in the first place.

The difference between illegal copying and stealing is that in the first one the original author has no way of knowing they have been affected by it while in the second one the original owner always knows they've been affected.

Of course, the "stealing" only works if you think about the "potential loss". That a pirated copy in the now means a loss of profit in the future (I won't buy the item if I've already enjoyed it). But in realistic terms, this isn't necessarily true. I think it is the case for a lot of people that when they were children they incurred in illegal copying of media but what was the alternative? To ask your parents to buy you everything? Think of, for example, the anime industry in the west; if you think anime became popular in the west because they had some anime shows in cartoon network you couldn't be more wrong. How many of these illegal copying children have become paying adults?

Not only that, but can we really say in all honesty that the world is a better place when people in poor countries that manage to obtain a piece of hardware are incapable of accessing software because they can't pay for it? Now, this might seem like a problem of pricing but any price will always be a barrier for someone that's struggling. And who are the people that benefit the most from illegal copying? Is it rich people in developed countries, or poor people in developing countries?

Knowledge and information has the particularity that it can be copied at an almost negligible cost. We don't charge for air because we need it to breathe and because it is so accessible. We tend to charge "the right price" for water because we need it to live and it's not as accessible as we'd like. So what about information? Knowledge? Information-based entertainment? Are these required for living a fulfilling life? I think yes, are these accessible? As long as you have the hardware, yes.

So what kind of world is the one where things we can obtain for free are restricted through artificial monopolies? Is this not actually a problem? Maybe you'll think that if people can obtain stuff for free then no one will want to make stuff anymore; but I think this is an assertion that actually needs proving, and if it were the case. Wouldn't that be pointing out at an even bigger systemic problem?
In the recent worker shortage, it has been apparent that people don't get "it".

"It" is a story of how they won't pay over $x but can't find workers who will show up.

There's likely a historic bias that many people have where historically, a 6%+ unemployment rate made gave people with open positions power; as we've stayed close to full employment for so long, we're due an awakening.

Mix this with the generational retirement of baby boomers, <2 child population control concepts, high costs of childcare /healthcare, and a lack of immigration limit increases in 30 years.
Mine had a lot of books and boredom.

I rarely regret just getting things done. Excessive planning is a much larger issue. I find it's usually better to just do something twice rather than spend too much time thinking about it.
The source I linked has data for a few other countries, and crucially has "whole-grid" wind measurements for the UK. And the UK never went to 0 for a whole 30 minute reporting period! 99th percentile was under 2% of rated output, though.

People said the same thing about gay youths years ago, down to the "trauma made them gay" and trying to send kids to sexuality non-affirming reparative therapy to fix their brains. I'd imagine that this plan would work as well as conversion therapy does.

It's worth noting that every major medical association in the United States has come out in favor of affirming a youth's sexual orientation and gender identity and against the practice of conversion therapy. This list includes:

> American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; American Academy of Nursing; American Academy of Pediatrics; American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy; American College of Physicians; American Counseling Association; American Medical Association; American Osteopathic Association; American Psychiatric Association; American Psychoanalytic Association; American Psychological Association; National Association of Social Workers.
I think that’s what makes it so funny. It’s not a humblebrag at all. The guy is being so earnest that the silly feature he spent $6,000 extra on top of his fancy car is one of his ”life’s biggest regrets.”
Imagine if a car had a setting for every input equivalent of setting speed via cruise control - this is what trimming is.

A car equivalent would be applying the handbrake and "trimming" it so it sticks with your hands off, then steering into a skid so you're drifting, then trimming the steering wheel; now your car is moving in an otherwise dynamically unstable configuration (drifting), but it maintains the configuration hands-free because you have locked-in the settings. A driver could then step out of a moving vehicle without the risk of being run over by their own car

I'd like to officially state for the record that I got through the original DX on hard mode, no lethal weapons and only a few mods. Greatest game ever. Eventually decided Illuminati was the most reasonable ending. Kind of a Milton thing with cinnamon buns.
Musk/Tesla have been selling alpha quality at best and vaporware in reality FSD for a long time. Its never ever going to work as claimed. Its crap software that endangers other people on the road and routinely kills people and all they needed to do is add a stupid disclaimer and the magic 'beta'. Every few months Musk will lie that its 'done' and out at the end of the year, with outlandish nonsense claims like his robotaxi in 2016/17, his most recent one that you wont need a human driver.

Its a massive scam and fraud thats made them trillions, and its amazing they haven't been sued for it.

I’m curious whether there is any database that handles this scenario correctly…or even whether there is a correct behavior for a situation where the system clock is rewound.
I thought it could be nice as a stand-in for an SSH Siri Shortcut action on iOS, because you don't need to reach out to a static IP address. It is more dynamic to be able to send an email from your phone to your Mac regardless of what network your Mac is currently on (so long as your Mac is awake).

Great, thats cool. I'm concerned about accessibility to general computing too. But this article is about an optional feature in an FOSS software that is only as good or bad as the distro using it.

Please, you must understand, you devalue your point by demonstrating that you either don't understand the layering at play here, and where the real risks are, or you don't care to advocate in any sort of meaningful or compelling way. Instead, you just repeated FUD and waved your arms more. Again, about something we probably agree about, but is simply not at hand here.

I mean the issue that you're worried about? How about the millions of capable smartphones being tossed because of closed bootloaders? Android manufacturers, Google's Nest and Chromecast products, and Apple's iOS devices here are far greater offenders. And just more insidious. My 3 year old phone that works damn fine is considered literal garbage by Google (no security updates, means I use Lineage, means I can't bank, watch Netflix, use credit card apps, and more). Microsoft has never used security features to invalidate my old hardware. Ever.

Again, totally tangential from whether or not SystemD has first-rate support for this (mostly because at this point it's about UX and distro mechanics such that users and distros can freely secure their computers. The functionality to just lock-er-down has been here. For a decade). This issue is about capitalism, economic incentives, social politics, etc. But, I don't expect that conversation to play out on this site much.

Finally, Pixel and Chromebook prove that secure computing AND user freedom CAN be respected and can be user-empowering. Please, if you care, advocate for their models. (Which, again, I can also do on all x86 Microsoft devices and Microsoft Surface ARM, at least, today).
The differences between Robot Inventor and SPIKE Prime are pretty minimal and there's nothing stopping consumers from buying SPIKE Prime through LEGO Education other than simply being aware that the option exists.
I think you're assuming the culture around hunting is the same in france as in the place you're from but it isn't really. The class connotations are almost flipped from the US, it's much more of "rural gentry" thing than what you're thinking of.
IdeaVim in the jetbrains products is really good I find. You get best of both worlds. I used to customize vim a lot, but I pretty much just use it as is now as a casual editor for editing files, especially for big files. The editor is very snappy and quick to load compared to IDEs, but on a well spec'd computer you aren't really going to notice too much (depending on the IDE)
Feels like the easiest explanation is just that revenue is lower? Seems like "Percent of staff budget that is in department ____" would be more informative.
There is nothing wrong with overbuilding renewables capacity. Everything it produces can be used, somewhere.
Argument: Iran Is Now at War with Ukraine
The problem is that because we need to progress in 5 years, it means that by 10 years we will hopefully have way more renewable solutions, which is cheaper than nuclear.
So, investors don't want to pay for a nuclear plant that will be built in 10 years but when up and running, will not be profitable anymore because renewable would have changed the market.

It's a real problem for nuclear plants: we still need them as "baseline continuous" generators, but no-one wants to risk investing for a site when there is a large chance that this specific site will not be needed in 10 years, will be too expensive to run and not competitive, and will go bust.

We made the mistake 10 years ago by not planning ahead (even France, who was going to the nuclear route, messed up by not renewing and maintaining their know-how). But now, it's just true that building an expensive power plant that will not be used is just not a good idea.
Why would new employees (at current quality or better) would join his mission of self-destruction?

China Wants to ‘Speed Up’ Its Seizure of Taiwan, Blinken Says
I think that's a fair criticism of documentation of the language itself, for which there is no real documentation - while std/core is extensively documented and it is quite good, syntax/semantics of Rust are not outside of the Book, various RFCs and discussion related to them, and various online sources.

But that's not what a language specification looks like. You will rarely turn to the ISO spec of C or C++ to learn something about the language unless you are trying to build a greenfield compiler. And while a lot of people want a second implementation of Rust for technical reasons, it's not as compelling as improving language documentation.

For example language documentation would look like: the `for x in y {}` syntax is called a "for" loop, which iterates over the expression `y` by calling the `next` method until it returns `None`. (this is bad, but you get the idea)

Language specification would be something like `for x in y { body }` is equivalent to

let y = y.into_iter();
loop {
match y.next() {
Some(x) => { body },
None => break;
}
}

While that language might be useful for some users, it's primarily useful for compiler developers. And since there is only one compiler, a spec to that detail is not compelling.

He'd have to work around and bypass several safety features that prevent you from doing this. You cannot do this out of the box. You have to work hard to get it to do it.

I wasn't citing or referring to anything external, just to my own experiences cooking. Still, I appreciate learning about your culture. If there are extra virgin olive oils that withstand medium-high and high heat, I'm jealous! I think I'll try experimenting with some of our local suppliers.

Edit:

> This is really the question to ask yourself: where does your information come from? Is there any evidence to the contrary?

I cooked almost exclusively with olive oil for many years. You can ask anyone in America about their experiences with it, and it will probably be the same. I can't speak about taste, but the olive oils found in our stores begin to smoke extremely easily.
