Well, trans people aren't the only ones benefiting from more generalized pregnancy curriculum. Intersex folks and even supportive men now have clearer literature to work from.

In your gravity example, I think it's more akin to teaching the theory of relativity on day 1 and wondering why half your students are lost. People need a basis of understanding for learning anything (especially complicated stuff), so that's why you teach people all of Newton's laws first, even if it's redundant to most of the class.
Ah, sounds so much like history of programming. At the 50's stage of straight up statistical manipulation.

DNA base units not viewed as base 4 binary number system that can be transformed into an abstract software language, where can select abstraction level of choice to use. Much like musical notation not viewed as numeric system.

Although, most software engineers don't view systems as numerical language development, too.
Is there an account successfully impersonating George Bush now? Can you link to it?

My experience has been that there have been a TON of impersonators over the past 5 years, and the largest number I've come across have been impersonating Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin.

Trusting all blue checks a year ago would have been a very, very foolish strategy. From what I've seen, the verification hasn't gotten at all worse in the last week.

How so? The fact that people make decisions based on only what they actually know is in no way a lapse of judgement. I mean what else are they supposed to do?
Yep, large model.
Needing special equipment or an unusual process to defrost indicates that it doesn't freeze well in the sense most people mean, but that it can be done with effort.

When I need to freeze bread, I don't bake the loaves fully first. I get them maybe 80% the way, then freeze. Then I can complete the bake after thawing.

I get reasonably decent results that way, although you can still tell.
Your example contradicts the claim. They say "assigned male at birth" rather than "male", because they believe you can be a female even if you were assigned male at birth.
2038 is going to be an interesting year that’s for sure. I’m big into Final Fantasy VII modding/speedrunning and while reverse engineering the game I stumbled upon some code that actually checks if the current date is before 2038. If it’s not it refuses to run. I have no idea why they put this kind of check in the game's code, I tried to remove it but the game actually still didn’t start so there is probably some issue that prevents it from working when the date overflows.

I can only imagine that a lot of other legacy software will have similar issues when we reach year 2038.
That's very much my use case though, all my expenses are on my calendar and I add them all once in a while - so the source is a browser tab, I put the equation in the address bar as I'm reading it inline, then hit enter when I'm done and navigate away. Using a local app would actually add one more step to that process.
Your original comment was just

Python is terrible, so it's not hard to be "easier" than it.

Which is a shallow dismissal of both things. Plus all shallow dismissals are HN-lame so it very much applies. They are just extra lame when about someone else's work and triple lame when it's in a Show HN.
I don’t think that answers the question being asked. I think OP means the actual pregnancy bit.
I had a Twitter account (2, actually), and they had maybe 100 tweets. I never found value from it, the timeline was impossible to manage, the UI for quoting/replying was bass-ackwards and impossible to follow. I didn't care about "influencers" or "industry experts", I just care about friends and family (which is why Facebook is generally a better fit for me).

But Twitter was specifically bad and hard to use because the content, such as it was, was so diluted by ads and recommendations.

Musk lighting the place on fire was the final straw to get me to delete my account, but I never would have considered myself a twitter user.

Mastadon seems better already. Although it's hard to tell, looks like they still for some reason have threads that are hard to read.
Better play it today, because after 2028, you're never getting the achievement.

A few laptops with a few shells with curl to download the full main page or an image would be a possible self-run stress test. A DDoS is in practice stress testing gone to far (and without permission).
Well you don't need to test on lots of versions, since updates are usually automatic now (or at least highly encouraged on startup). But you definitely need to test on Chrome and Firefox in the browser (maybe also Safari?), and both Chrome and Safari on mobile, since there are JavaScript APIs and CSS features not supported by all of them.

The latter is especially true when you're trying to make a PWA or 'web app', since Apple does not like letting websites have similar abilities to native apps on their devices...

It is embarrassing that this case had to be brought by a firm otherwise known for suing to let landlords evict tenants during a pandemic moratorium.

Why was this not brought by an organization like the EFF or ACLU? I remember writing to my Senators at the time because of how unprecedented and troubling this action was.

Here's an article from The Verge with more details from the time this was rolled out:

Was never a fan of Stross. He strikes me as one of those extremely online types who always has something politically charged to say about current events. One of those ultra geeks who reads too much sci-fi and always has a hundred tabs open in their browser.
That's certainly one opinion. A common use of language these days separates the concept of manliness from the concept of maleness.

Bill Gates is, for example, not particularly manly, but he's absolutely male.

I find it useful to separate the concepts, and others do too. You might not find that useful, but you should be aware language is evolving towards those definitions recently.
The answer is that there’s unlimited answers. The current fashion in some circles is that your current expression of gender is whatever you feel it to be, that that may be any number of things.
You will miss quite a lot about Russia that way. Namely, the way their believes actually plays out abroad.

You will also miss large parts of Russian history, because it was nit sage to talk about historical stuff like purges in there for years.
That argument is a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of biological sex, which is connected to the distinct type of gametes (sex cells) that an organism produces. As a broad concept, males are the sex that produce small gametes (sperm) and females produce large gametes (ova). There are no intermediate gametes, which is why there is no spectrum of sex. Biological sex in humans is a binary system.
I feel like the thing that ends up being missed here is that conservatives aren’t being banned because they’re conservative. If that was the goal and you support the private company argument the banhammer would have a much much bigger blast radius. Like good lord Ben Sharpie is still on Twitter.

What you have is a bunch of high profile internet edgelords with persecution fetishes and who’s internet clout is dependent on whipping people into a frenzy and so bait bans by posting barely veiled hate speech as “comedy” and then milk that by whinging for months. And it happens to conservatives because of the weird internet culture that took hold and has its origins in 4chan where saying absolutely vile shit for the lulz are the kind smugly superior takes that get views. Liberals have their own smugly superior takes but it’s “haha I’m smart, you’re stupid, obvious racist is obvious.”

There is a whole sea of conservatives who aren’t falling into this shit to get themselves into the news cycle. Sorry bud, no matter how many Youtube videos you make trying to say it’s one big grand conspiracy against you, you weren’t banned because you’re a conservative — you were banned you in particular are a hateful asshole.

It's awful. You often can't contact journalists or podcasters except on Twitter, which was one of my only use cases for it (that, and yelling at companies). The media constantly pretended like Twitter represented the average person, when it really represented the specific niche of people who like to play the attention game (being an expert, following experts, gathering a following).

In the early days, it was easy to install Emacs on any system I was working on.

In modern times, VSCode is a fine substitute for Emacs, so try that. I generally prefer Emacs because I am so used to it.
> Your example contradicts the claim. They say "assigned male at birth" rather than "male", because they believe you can be a female even if you were assigned male at birth.

I'm not sure that's a contradiction so much as it's trying to weave through people's own synonymizing of the two terms where a distinction is being made. I hear your point though.
What the “superforecasters” predict for major events in 2023

That's a pretty weird rationale IMO. "It doesn't break anything" should be the minimum requirement for a major design choice, but it certainly isn't sufficient on its own. They sort of imply that making it a method would "complicate questions about the interface of basic types", but I don't really understand what that would even mean "in the Go type sense". Are they worried that someone might make an interface with a `Len` method and therefore be able to pass slices and maps to it? That honestly seems like a feature, not a bug, and certainly not worth throwing out the nicer syntax for.

Society isn't designed. It emerges spontaneously over time due to the beliefs and behaviors of everyone, and it's literally impossible to "design society to accommodate everyone."

I'm 6'3" and I wish plane seats were designed with me in mind, but they aren't. My short wife wishes countertops were usually built higher, but they aren't.

I think children are treated very poorly in our society and I've homeschooled my children to allow them to exert more agency over their lives. I'm fortunate to live in the US where this is legal, but in most of the world it isn't. Other cultures believe that they should dictate that children's time be spent according to adults' wishes. How can both be accommodated?
Language changes, and plenty of words have multiple meanings. I usually don't have any problem understanding what people mean from context.
My understanding is that "differences in sex development" or "disorders of sex development" is now the preferred terminology. See for instance:

"Disorders of sex development, or DSD (previously called intersex), includes a range of conditions that lead to abnormal development of the sex organs and atypical genitalia ..."

https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/conditions/disorders-of...
Yes. Many applications do not require that at most 1 nan and at most 1 zero be allowed in each collection but do have trouble if some items are not equal to themselves.
They exist and are the exception that makes the rule.
I certainly think it is worth distinguishing sex and gender, and that using different words is the necessary first step. However I think that by-and-large people use "man" and "woman" to describe gender -- though not gender identity, but filling the role in society successfully. No one checks genitals, chromosomes, or gametes. They look and eyeball it, based somewhat on anatomical clues, but also a gestalt of dress, hairstyles, mannerisms, etc.

Typically I hear "male" and "female" used to describe sex, though it would be somewhat awkward to use them as nouns rather than adjectives.
That's a birth defect, not a sex.
Openpilot 0.9.0 Release
If you're talking about a pure free market that I don't think you're correct. Right now, a 2023 Tesla mode 3 starts at 40,000, compared to 20,000 for a Subaru Impresa. According to www.fueleconomy.gov over the course of 10 years I'd save 16,000 in fuel costs. Furthermore, if you need to replace the battery in that time period, then the savings drop to only 6k. So even with government subsidies, gas cars are more economical than electric cars. I don't see how the market can survive without help from Uncle Sam.
Stop using intersex people (who have extremely rare physiological diseases) as a political tool to justify transsexual ideology, when >99% of transsexuals do not have any such disease.
Two things for me. An electromagnetics finite element analysis package that was then used to design the actuators for the landing gear for the 737NG-series; where millions of people’s lives have depended on that landing gear working. And the coupling filters for the HF amplifiers in the Australian over-the-horizon radar array.

In all these I was only part of the project, but everyone’s work added up.

Many sports teams don't build all that much of friendship outside of training and competitions. They are acquitances with no other investment.

The moment you get injured or sick, friendship is gone. Same goes for hobby groups.
Find a meetup on meetup.com. It doesn't have to be something you care too much about, it can be a singles meetup, some sport you know how to play, book club, etc. A lot of people are there mostly to do social stuff. Think of it as a way to meet people, but you have to work on deepening the friendships by asking them to do other stuff outside of the meetup after talking to them a few times.
Or tragedy? The many folks paying desalination prices to waste water raise the price for those who don't. Since water happens to be required to live, this is a problem, is it not?
Oof, I don't like that Matrix3x2 type. "It's a 3x2 matrix, but we're going to pretend it has a last column going 0/0/1 so we can get a determinant or multiply them together, but when we negate or add or subtract them it's still going to be 0/0/1."
Third gender people and intersex people have existed as long as humans have.

Western cultures in the past couple decades have started acknowledging this, but the concept is not foreign to all countries.

And the changes proposed are to include as many people as possible. You might say, people are typically born with two arms, sometimes fewer. It doesn't remove the fact that most people express as 2 armed, while including the people who don't.
I assume they meant "breeding".
That's fine, loathe am I to stop you from embarrassing yourself in front of others.
This may come across snarky, but it’s unintended. Instead I’m trying to set out a sort of mental framework for answering the question from (slightly less than) first principles.

That’s a bit like asking “why does any large internet service need infrastructure maintenance?”

If you can’t immediately see the answer in twitter’s case, then you either haven’t yet applied your knowledge of how large cloud services function and need maintenance to keep from cascading failures, or you don’t have that knowledge in which case the twitter case can’t be answered without explaining first the general case of how any large software system needs regular oversight. But then, I think that even if you can’t think of an answer for Twitter, you can probably figure out a little of the answer for the general question.

You can start with asking yourself another question: why would Twitter (or any very large software project) pay $Millions for maintenance that isn’t required? Is there collective delusion on the topic? Or has twitter hit upon the absolute perfectly engineered platform ever? If the answer to either of those is “no” then a twitter system failure is only a matter of time.

How much time is a matter of some debate. The first time something hits a quota or something of that sort that requires a human input to ensure automatic allocations don’t accidentally get insane could be a pebble. Or maybe the first pebble is a minor unpatched security flaw, but twitter is a very sweet high profile target… whatever the first pebble is, it makes a slightly worse issue or multiple additional pebbles much easier, and you enter cascading failure. They generally happen slowly relative to the proportion of a total collapse, and then very very quickly.

So another question to ask is how much of twitter’s infra teams were pure bloat, how much were excess capacity necessary to cover average amounts of employee vacation/sick/leave that goes on at any time, etc, and how elastic the remaining staff can be (putting in extra hours, working in areas that are secondary skills because no one else is available) and for how long they’re willing to do it before burnout or better job offers with less stress and overtime, whether staff losses have already hit a critical mass to make this inevitable…

But I think this gives a general sense of why it can’t tick over forever on its own, or at least some inroads into thinking about the answer.

Yes, it's loaded, which is why I never use the word "privilege" myself. But the reason it's loaded is because these terms were created by people who largely don't believe in advantage that's "earned". They believe all outcomes comes down to circumstance outside of an individual's control (lucky genes that predispose them to hard work, born into a wealthy family, born into a good country, born in a good area). Or that any effort expended to achieve an outcome is done in a context that enables that effort to exist (partner who takes care of menial work), and enables that effort to be productive (being a member of the upper caste that affords you opportunities so you can turn effort to money, or being part of a rich society that can afford to give you money for your effort). The effort -> outcome pipeline isn't context free. This all comes from the usual leftist perspective on things.

So while I partly agree with your point here (although with less cynicism), that doesn't detract from the case that there are large societal consequences to having a social construct of a racial majority, which is divisively and unfortunately labelled "whiteness" in the US. You shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater in your criticism.

The steep and slippery slope from "not caring about what other women do" to "finding men, calling themselves women, in your space."

https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/

It seems presumptuous for males to pressure or shame females for wanting to recognize biology and single-sex rights. They only recently won them after a hard-fought battle and obviously they need them; violent sex crimes are overwhelmingly committed by males, and overwhelmingly against females (women) and children.
I didn’t start Jest, but I made it what it is today.
Quite possibly not. If you have job, family, friends you hang out with and one hobby, then there is often zero time for new friendship. Cause that would require additional time.
Interesting setup. I use https://forwardemail.net for this use case. It’s certainly easier to setup, and it’s cheap ($18 for 6 months).

That might be so but like I was saying it could lead to having more unqualified lawyers if they can't get past the bar or hired. Then the bar exam will be the target of needing more diversity and then we have more unqualified licensed lawyers and then maybe they need to win a certain percentage of trials in order for there to be equality of outcome for them. to hell with their clients. I am being sort of sarcastic, sort of.

This could also be a sign we are producing too many lawyers. I think elite overproduction is a real thing and it is damaging to society. There is even a study that shows GDP declines proportionally to the population of lawyers. I don't know if it's a good idea to have a lot of underemployed, racially aggrieved, lawyers. So if they basically don't care what the outcome is for society (and their students) so long as they are not accused of racism that really makes me view them differently.
