She explains in the "possibly be a placental abruption—but could also just be a fart" paragraph - her argument is that she is having a risky-and-possibly-fatal biological experience and thinks that the best health outcome will be reached if literature explains the situation in clear, commonly used terms that most people understand.

It could just be rationalisation though. I'd expect people to be fired and/or called transphobic for making that sort of argument.

Regardless of everything else, "chestfeeding" is just a hilarious term. It brings to mind the middle-stage of a xenomorph.
Language also needs to be useful.

Having to use translation/dictionary for my native language means it failed in a big way.

And all languages are rooted on some level in reality.

I still have an interest in tech. Whenever I read about new sensors to keep kids from being locked in hot cars, or efficient smart thermostats, or a kerosene lamp being replaced with LEDs, or even just drone based light shows, I usually think "Yeah, this is totally worth being spied on 247".

My problem is that I have no clue how you actually get involved with anything that matters unless you're top 1% skill.

I'm perfectly happy with connection as a modern requirement, it replaces the requirement to dedicated many square feet to using and storing papers, but endless scrolling and the algorithm that makes you keep doing it is fucking depressing to think about, and casts kind of an ugly hue over the whole tech industry, and so much of the industry is dedicated to delivering content people don't even particularly want.

I've also mostly lost interest in DIY tech for the most part. I've done lots of open source work, usually nobody cares. The only time I get excited is collaborating with existing projects.

I don't know anything about how people start new projects and actually have them take off, so I don't think about it much anymore. Startups mostly feel like scams to me.

Like, many of them provide a real useful service. But I wouldn't recommend most of them to anyone or use them myself. Most of them don't do anything that some cheaper service already does, and they usually have a bigger dev budget and a more predictable future. I don't want to tangle up my workflow with something brand new run by 3 people without a really good reason.

And worse, a lot of them don't provide anything useful.

And I'm even more disillusioned with DIY scale personal use tech. I can't think of any software I want that wouldn't take years to write, and I'm not going to spend 3 years working on some software just for myself. I'm sure I can save up and just buy a solution in that time. Anything I can do in a weekend probably already exists and I'd rather just use that.

And to make it worse, I'm not really happy with the tech community right now. The "Hacker ethos" is basically anti-tech. They only care about code as an exploration of ideas, and seem to hate real usable software in practice. They want pen and paper and film cameras back, and seem to care much more about even small amounts of metadata privacy than all the benefits tech could bring.

It's less this exciting underground scene building the future as this sad group of weekend tinkerers who hate the modern world.

I'm not sure where that leaves me as far as doing anything impactful. Maybe eventually I'll try again to start yet another new project and see if it gets any traction.

At least I have a job that does provide some level of real value, even if it's just entertainment.
Windows' native API for dates consists of the types FILETIME and SYSTEMTIME which will handle 5-digit years, and even the old MS-DOS FAT timestamp goes up to 2107. The 2038 problem came from Unix and applications which use 32-bit Unix epoch time.

I've expanded on my initial version and didn't double check the lengthy edit with some translation service because I didn't want to miss the edit window.

But I guess the oversight should be clear form context. Can't edit it anyway.

Thanks for pointing out this mistake! :-) (Now I'm going to check this particular word pair more thoroughly next time).
These concerns on the universal timescale are so outside the scope of our existence as to be purely theoretical.

It's akin to an oxygen atom fretting the solar system.

Do what you want, but I say: chill the CHILL out.
You will never get an answer. Biological sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression and even gender roles are thrown into a pile to play 5D chess.

Fact remains, there is no third sex. Intersex is not a third sex and sexual anomalies also do not introduce a third sex.
Rare exceptions to the rule doesn't make rules useless.
VS Code has many pleasant properties, but its lack of respect for user freedom is a real turn off. Also it is considerably less conveniently extensible than Emacs. That however is definitely a double edged sword and there are valid reasons to go with a less customizable tool.
Thanks for the tip, that did improve accuracy a lot.
Not for 8 rolls.
Here is something clever that I noticed. I was working for a company that spent a LOT of money on advertising. (I supported the call center, not in marketing). I would frequently hear radio ads for my company.

I would take note when my company would make the news - simply out of corporate pride. I would also take note when we were involved in something scandalous (we got hacked, we provided services to someone that did unscrupulous stuff, we did unscrupulous stuff).

What I noticed is that our advertisements disappeared from news agencies the same week our story aired - and the news agencies didn't disclose support from our company, even if we were portaied in a positive light.
One thing is perfect caching. Each package is cached in its own folder, so if you exchange one package you don't have to rebuild the rest of the image.

Also you can have multiple versions of the package cached.

Also all your environments benefit from the cache, since each "layer" is independent.

Docker's layer based caching is very limiting for larger images. With Nix you spend basically no time on incremental builds outside of the time for the one package you changed.
Thank you for the great explanation.

> Figures released earlier this month showed out of 2987 people to apply for compensation, only 59 were successful

Even if 100% of these were successful this would still mean the vaccines were complication free for the vast, vast majority of people. Even if you assume the complexity of the process meant that 1 in 10 people who thought they had an adverse reaction were put off applying, it'd be something like 0.1% of cases having adverse reactions.

Of course I'd tend to trust medical professionals figuring out if a payout was relevant a little bit more than the applicants or 'legal experts' that are complaining about the complex process.

(Anecdata: I know of one person in my entire network who had an adverse reaction (outside of cold/flu symptoms) - bursitis in his elbow - from a COVID vaccinte. I personally only ever got a mild headache from the first one & nothing more from the others I've had.)
I think it doesn’t happen for errors because the error interface is almost always what is returned. It doesn’t seem that hard across if this style guide were followed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33566422
Or.. convert the integers to string form and use that. Wacky nonsense situation averted.
Fair enough, and thank you for the response. Reading some of the other responses, it seems people are generally of the view that it probably would have been doable, but perhaps not without some level of hickup, particularly with regards to the US bank. I guess I will never know 100% since this is now in the past.

And the comment around Coinbase also makes sense, though I suppose my exposure to that risk could have been minimized assuming the money would ideally only have been sitting there for a few days. In retrospect, I should have obviously attempted the Coinbase route.

Depends on your culture. The Diné people have four genders (feminine man, masculine man, feminine woman, masculine woman), hijra and fa'afafine are feminine male genders, in Inuit culture a sipiniq is someone who fulfills a man's role with female genitalia.

In mesopotamia, mesoamerica, and the Indus valley there were people of unclear sex who fulfilled genders beyond men and women.

A neologism from pan indigenous culture is Two Spirit.

These concepts have existed for a loooong time, however they were quite rare in western countries. As westerners, we're being exposed to them now, but they are hardly novel on the world stage.

You’ll be happy to hear that the Internet Archive, who’s behind Open Library, regularly pushes the boundaries of digital lending, most recently by allowing uncontrolled digital lending during the early days of the pandemic (calling it the National Emergency Library).

Of course, this inevitably led to a lawsuit from the major publishers. In my less optimistic moments, I fear that the library will be found legally in the wrong despite its attempted justifications, and that it will lead to the demise of the entire Internet Archive.
Usage of NaN as hash key reminds me of the two uses of NULL in SQL. One is as unknown values which are never equal to anything even other NULL values. Another use is as a key for aggregate grouping. In that case the entry represents the aggregate for all the unknown values which aren't equal but still grouped together. Different uses have different meanings so invalid in one use does not invalidate other uses.
If we are speculating without any basis then why not also Turkey, Qatar or Azerbaijan? Maybe Iran?

They are all profiting from either selling their own gas or reselling Russian gas.

After deep reflection my bet is on Venezuela. They are in the worst shape so they will benefit the most. /sarcasm

Please, stop speculating without any basis. You can make a case for basically anyone who trades gas or had any issues with Russia.
Is our definition of burnout all wrong?
Though it’s like comparing apples and oranges, the primary advantage over containers would be performance.

Nix (not to be confused with NixOS) is a package manager. Think of it like apt.

Containers on the other hand are (usually) utilizing kernel level isolation to run a whole user space starting with PID 1. These isolation techniques have overhead.

Since Nix is a user space application, you can run it in a container and Nix provides one `nixos/nix`.

It's not at all new. Many Native American cultural traditions had a sophisticated gender fluidity: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/11/two-spirit-peo...

In many ways the gender rigidity of late 20th century western society is an exception in human history.
Leet!
The issue is that the costs of accomodating trans people are greatly exaggerated to push for discimination. This article is focused on language which is obviously of great importance to everyone involved. I support the writer's hurt feeling but you can't justify not accomodating people because it requires looking at words differently.
You are welcome to build a type which has this property and declares that it is Eq.

But Rust's built-in floating point types f32 and 64 do not have that property.
If it says honey on the jar and there is no ingredients list or the ingredients list says it’s honey, then it is honey (unless the producer is just absolutely breaking the label laws).

That said, you should be able to _easily_ distinguish different varieties of honey or even different sources of honey by tasting it. If you can’t then it’s likely a big commodity blend.

Go do a blind from a producer that lists the hive locations for the honey. It’s probably the product that has the most obvious “terroir” effect that I know of. I can tell the difference between honey from hives that are less than 2 miles apart (Woodlawn vs Englewood in Chicago).
You're arguing definitions, but ultimately language is use, and use is always changing.

You can carry on as you've always had, but some fraction of the public will assume ignorance, some stubbornness, and some malice. It's not really any different than terms for ethnic minorities or those with disabilities over time. How you approach it is up to you, but how people perceive you is up to them.

I think one of the biggest flaws was the use of the word "expectations." Call it a sea change, call it a paradigm shift or a shove on the Overton window, expectations have been changing. Technology can certainly kick that along and often opens new chinks in our armor, but there's a societal and therefore legal bent to it, too.

They are giving probabilities for discrete events, which already captures their level of uncertainty. Probabilities of probabilities (i.e., a probability distribution of a probability) are not very useful concepts.
If you read that article and came away with the idea that you should hate or be violent towards trans people, then you are searching for hatred where it doesn't exist.

A woman expressing her opinion that "chest-feeding" and "birthing persons" are terms obnoxious to her is not hatred.
It’s entirely possible to view a traditional patriarchal marriage as a fully consented to 24/7 power exchange with domestic service and impregnation kinks to round it out. That’s not abuse, it’s just a kind of scene you may not personally be into.

It is surreal that people think he is doing any of this purposefully.

He sent out an email saying all offices were closing immediately due to his concerns of being sabotaged, then a few hours later sent another email that software engineers needed to meet with him in person the following day, even asking remote people to fly in immediately.

That’s chaos, but his sycophants are so devoted they’ll delude themselves into thinking this is genius.
Yes, this is a thing, and there are very significant structural reasons for it.
> I think stat() in the 32bit version of libc is making the 64 bit system call to get the value from the kernel and noticing that it would overflow.

I'm not certain I'm looking at the correct file, but that does seem to be the case, at least on latest glibc: stat redirects to fstatat(AT_FDCWD) (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/uni...), and fstatat calls a 64-bit system call and fails with EOVERFLOW if any of st_ino, st_size, st_blocks, st_atim, st_mtim, st_ctim wouldn't fit in the 32-bit struct (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/uni...).

Yes, st_ino too, which means it could also break on a filesystem with large enough inode numbers. Using a 32-bit userspace nowadays seems more problematic the more I look.

You are absolutely correct about the nuance, but I disagree with this 'no true chickenman' argument. We all started somewhere below expert-level.
I have a PhD in theoretical physics but I still don't understand this. Is this a description of an invention? Is it a different way to think about dynamics and kinematics?
I think a single tool to solve design + testing would be great. Cypress does Component Testing now, and you can use it in a Storybook-esque fashion, but it doesn't export to a static site for documentation, and instead of using knobs/plugins, you automate with the Cypress API. It's missing some of the design touches of Storybook, though.

Storybook is good for design, but the testing integration is definitely lacking. Having to maintain <test suite in Jest> alongside <design suite> feels like a lot of code.
I didn't suggest that new was correct, I suggested new exists and we should acknowledge it.

I don't use "yeet" as a word, and I find it silly. But nonetheless I'm aware some people do use it, and so it's in my lexicon as a word that I just don't care for.

My point is that we cannot deny new usages. We can disagree with them or choose not to use them, but denying them is just never going to work.
> Depending on definition, we are talking about ~1% of people

You have to use an extremely expansive definition in order to reach 1%. So expansive that it renders the term meaningless.
i have personally experienced site reliability issues (see my screenshot above where it wouldn't even load the home timeline _at all_) and they seem to be getting more prevalent.

i have personally experienced an increase in spam.

i have personally experienced a drastic increase in trolls.

i have personally seen a _dramatic_ increase of outright abusive accounts.

unlike the vast majority of twitter's users, our organization uses physical hardware devices for our 2fa, but after we started seeing the reports, we didn't log out at all--at the time it wasn't clear exactly what was causing the failure, and obviously we didn't want to lose access.

i am genuinely glad that you haven't noticed any of the sites problems tho. i truly do hope they can get it back to the sanity it was pre-october. im pretty skeptical on this tho, i tend to think he's set on turning it into some kind of "be shitty to each other" site, and that will obviously turn it into a ghost-town when compared to what it once was.
"Stripped"? Really?

Because typical bureaucratic literature has added one more abstraction?

Health literature and other bureaucratic literature is chock full of abstraction and euphemisms. The entire edifice is aesthetically unpleasant and euphemisms broadly are sometimes used to let bureaucrats get away with terrible thing (see George Orwell talking of "population relocation" in Politics and The English Language). But I don't see the euphemisms targeted here doing any real damage. I mean "not saying things I think should be said" only qualifies as harm if you abuse language far more than these changes do.
I was reading a science-fiction book [0], where they refer to the biological sex as being a manform or a womanform, but the personal articles are the indication of the person gender, either man, woman, or neutral. My own native language is genderless, so unless you precise the sex or other biological attributes, there's no way to determine if you're speaking of a male or a female.

This could be fixed on the client: when the user opens an account’s follower list, ask the account’s server for the list.
Steam client fonts are a mess even without y2038 bugs. There's no good way to change size globally - despite the entire client being based on HTML/CSS tech! The current 'solution'* is to edit stylesheets manually as if it were a new skin, and find/modify every invocation of font-size.

* Or use Big Picture mode, which has other issues.
I don’t understand what atoms have to do with gender.

It is not inclusive to call a woman a “birthing person” it’s actually excluding the women who can’t give birth. Are women who can’t become pregnant men? Of course not.

We have let politeness run away with us. It’s time to kindly, but firmly tell people there are two genders. It’s not a kindness to lie to a person, even if they ask for the lie.
Sam Bankman-Fried Is Going Down Posting
One service I used to work on processed business-to-customer and business-to-business emails almost exclusively, so you could see a recurring weekly pattern, bumps throughout the day when the US east coast, US west coast, Asia, and Europe woke up, and spikes at the top of the hour from automation. So one day we got a new boss, and he called me into his office in a panic so I could explain why his chart of the traffic kept going up and down. Took about four tries, but I think he eventually got it.

I also recall seeing someone push a global update to that system that was packaged wrong, and watching the graph gradually drop and flatline as 20,000 VM hosts across the planet stopped taking traffic. That had its own subtle beauty, in no way diminished by the fact I was just a bystander and couldn't get in trouble for it.
They just turned 15 (or 16?), I’d say they’re geek-level normal for that age.
Yea, this is chickenwashing.
It uses some of that stuff to isolate its background build sandbox, but none of it affects a normal nix subshell.
This is an important point and it's lost in these debates.

The new cool thing is to pretend context/intent doesn't exist, that words and expressions should always be looked at in isolation. Even though it's a fundamental part of language and how the brain perception systems work to contextualize and loosely categorize everything based on the current set of information in a particular scenario.

Words/language is messy, highly flexible, and rarely strictly defined. For good reason.

Mostly so people can win internet arguments and feel superior/victimized.
This is not an endorsement of any particular take in the thread, but this seemed like an appropriate place to correct a mistake regarding the frequency of intersex births and link out to some articles for the curious.

That 1% number comes from the Fausto-Sterling survey which incorrectly lumps in Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. Eliminating those diseases yields a rate no higher than 0.018%, 2 orders of magnitude lower as the upper bound[1]. Only a small portion have cells for producing both types of gametes, only about 5% of all intersex people[2][3].
