Most small businesses are unprofitable for years after they get started. Running a small business successfully is pretty darn hard. It's a lot harder than just working 40 hr/week for The Man.

Running a small business is a 24/7 operation. You don't get no vacation nor sick leave nor any sort of benefits. Everyone has their hand out to you, usually thinking that since you're a businessman you've got lots of money they can squeeze out of you.

That only really makes sense on an individual basis. The OP article (which I can't read due to a paywall), appears to be talking about pregnancy literature, and your solution can't really apply to literature. If you have group of 1000 people, where 999 want to be called "pregnant women" and 1 who wants to be called a "person experiencing pregnancy," what term do you use in your literature to refer to the group? If you defer to the one, you fail to defer to the 999.
Many layers?

>but I have something against small group of people imposing on the whole society how we can use word women in context of pregnancy, especially in a world in which only biological woman can give birth to a child.

This. There’s a difference between asking for respect (I’ll use the name you want) versus fighting to call breastfeeding chest feeding.

Seriously, the world has bigger problems than to debate over language.

If the general public cared half as much about world hunger (or child hunger!) as it did about debating the definition about the word “women” the world would be a better place.
That's interesting! My friends who were avid Ingress players totally repeated the story that at least the geospatial data was somehow reused directly (to generate points of interest automatically based on places that figured into Ingress gameplay). It would be interesting to hear to what extent that was a misconception.
Didn’t even know the name Pokémon was derived from Pocket Monsters. Makes sense.
Take a look at the already assembled robot arms available on eBay, they vary a lot in price but even the cheapest ones could be used to explore the software side of controlling a robot arm. The main thing you'll learn from programming a cheap robot is what its limitations are (lack of fine control or repeatability, lack of strength, quick to wear out, difficulties in handling overload situations). Then you'll know what you want to study next and have some idea of terminology (always important to learn the special words technologists use in their field). So, for example, you'll learn that servos work, but are slow and not very powerful or repeatable. Stepper motors may be an improvement but have limited resolution due to moving in steps. Moving fast requires a lot more power. Adding sensors to measure the actual rotation at joints (or distance for linear actuators) can improve repeatability. If you want to learn the electronics side of robotics start building simple circuits using a solderless breadboard, you can get parts at JameCo, DigiKey or Mouser (do a web search). There are lots of web sites with projects you can build. The ones that explain the theory as well as show how to build the circuit will teach you the most. Electronics has a lot of detail in it, there are thousands of types of components, many ways of interfacing things, lots of limitations in power and frequency, it is somewhat like software programming in those respects. Jumping in and building things alongside more formal learning paths is a good way to get started. Stick with low voltage, low current circuits to start with until you learn how to safely deal with higher voltages and currents (which can be deadly). Learning mechanics it is probably simpler to start with theory rather than building things. There are not a lot of kits or examples for building mechanical things that I know of (Lego? Erector sets?) that also teach you theory (stress, deformation, mass versus speed, calculating maximum load at the end of an arm, trajectory computation, etc.) The ROS software library and some exposure to machine learning could be helpful as well. Higher level software topics like SLAM (simultaneous location and mapping) and path planning and machine vision you can look at to start learning and study in more detail later. Sensors are an entire field in themselves (mechanical, optical, chemical, RF, pressure, humidity, cameras, air pressure, color, distance,...) A robot is like a person, complicated and built of systems on top of systems and you need to learn at least something about all the levels to be proficient in designing a complete system that works the way you want it to. It's a lot to learn, though you can also specialize in those parts you find more interesting. Some people do nothing but path planning or machine vision.
No it's not, because they are talking about keying via Number.prototype.toString(), which is not keying via float but via its string representation.

And that's my point, it's even part of the ECMAScript spec. See 6.1.6.1 and 6.1.7.1 [1]

Additionally, a proof you can quickly tryout:

object={};

object[-0]=123;

object[+0]; // returns object["0"];

If Object key were a Number type, it would not use Number.prototype.toString().

You can literally create your own datatype and override valueOf() and toString() to play with this.

Apparently, one of the commonly used Japanese words for a logic gate flip-flop (a beach shoe?), can be written as "bird clapper" (one of those bamboo water fountain features you see in gardens).

I think this comes from なるこ in the original text, but my Japanese is minimal.

That sounds just sort of non-intuitive, but when reading a patent where the accepted US filing used the word "bird clapper" every time a type of logic gate was intended made reading it initially incomprehensible, then bizarre, and finally hilarious.

I've briefly looked at USPT and although I can find references to such phrases in patents, the one I'm looking for appears to have been thankfully fixed.
I built a web SPA "crypto" calculator that performed basic and generic tasks such as symmetric ciphering with block padding, hashing with different algorithms at the same time, pkcs7 messages ciphering/deciphering, and utilities like base64 to hex to ascii, etc encoding/decoding, etc.

I did at the time Angular was hot and I wanted to learn it. Also because it made my life easier at my job. I developed it fully at home outside office hours (I did not work remotely at that time), published it on github and deployed it on a personal public VM, and I told one or two direct colleagues about it.

A few months later, some people in the company who I did not know started using it (from the public site, not running it locally) and then later even manual validation plans or troubleshooting guides referred to it (its url).

I noticed through the server logs that it was used from many different countries, it was barely active but still got between 2 to 5 visits per day. And from the location I knew that it was very likely people from my company (no zscaler at that time).

One day I wanted to upgrade the VM and also cut down old sites that I maintained. So I shut down the website. A few days later I received a complaint in my company from 2 guys asking me to put it back on. I had to explain them that no way, I would not put it back on, it was a personal project fully developed outside business hour on my personal laptop, hosted on a personal VM that I paid for, etc.

This could have got me fired maybe, even though the cryptographic functions were really generic, I could have been accused to have stolen company time or whatever. The company was really not the kind to give 20% of our time to work on personal ideas.
Essentially the point was linking the available literature and data on IUD, Cluster B, trans-people, and power struggles together. We are, after all, in a thread about making sense of how a population the size of a rounding error got to rewrite the literature on birth.

No judgement, I don't judge people on mental health. Unless someone is calling to make institutional changes that undermine the public's trust in it, then I will exert my right to judge these people's character.
Not time wasted if it was a lesson learned. And tbh, I don't think there's any other way to learn this lesson other than do it and reflect, I think anyone passionate for making things _actually_ better will do it at least once.
YT video comment:

> Goat was just minding his own business, singing to himself, "Love lift us up where we belong. Where eagles cry on a mountain high."
Of course, you are correct that this usage implies gender varies based on location, culture, context, time, etc.

In fact, this is why it's so useful to have a term for the idea that what's "feminine" in Saudi Arabia is not the same as what's feminine in Inuit culture.

I believe that people should be able to evaluate the gender roles of where they are and accept, reject, or define them. If a cis woman wants to shave her head, get buff, wear flannel, get into fights, and call herself a woman then awesome. She's rejected the "traditional" gender roles for herself and made her own way.

I would never tell someone the way they experience their own gender is wrong. But I think it's absolutely reasonable to discuss generalizations about gender roles in context and invite people to think about whether they feel like they identify with that role or not.
Show HN: tsdocker – run Docker containers on your Tailnet
I wanted a way to spin up Docker containers exposed on Tailscale without running Tailscale in the container itself.

Now that Tailscale supports creating virtual nodes in Go[0], it's possible to create a distinct Tailscale network interface for each container, which is exactly what tsdocker does.

I think you've really nailed it. It's very hard to take her views seriously if you've done the slightest bit of reading on this topic at all. The fact that it's receiving so much attention here is embarrassing, and in my humble opinion, very telling.

Just in case it isn't clear, virtually no one in the literature takes the idea of a "adult biological woman" as a useful distinction, no matter how intuitive it may seem to most engineers. There's no real daylight between claiming that being "gender-critical" is "biologically based" as this author does, and outright rejection of transgender identities, which the author claims not to do. Virtually everyone with any philosophical training or background whatsoever thinks Quillette is a joke of a publication, not because of "ideology" or "social enforcement" but because, well, they publish embarrassing shit like this.

Add that to the fact that there have been almost 600 comments here on this joke of an article that doesn't manage to get past screed and offer a single coherent argument, and the result is frankly pretty infuriating. Half of it is just misdirection, to be clear. Abortion is absolutely a women's rights issue, everyone involved agrees on that I think. It is nonetheless false that everyone who gets an abortion is a woman.
I was chatting with a MS engineer a year or so back... the Sharepoint implementation they included was written by an intern. they didn't actually mean for it to be released and wish they could reverse that decision but apparently it got a lot of use. Its particularly painful because their customer base has been harping at them to fix the bloody thing so it behaves like a real wiki tool and they don't want to spend the resources on it.
Teams started hogging my keyboard media keys last week just to play the ring tone twice when pressing play/pause. The media player won't react to these inputs anymore and I have to click with my mouse. Nice going, Teams devs.

It's the worst software in my PC by far. The only reason it is used by my company is because it's free with Office 365. Even ICQ was a better chat client in 2002.

I wonder if the Teams guys feel guilty about all the unnecessarily burned CPU time. Every time I'm compiling code my Teams experience degrades to a point where I wonder if I'm using a 133 MHz PC again and forgot to press the Turbo button.
I don’t think anyone’s expecting the storytelling in a game aimed for 10‐year‐olds to be amazing. This is Pokémon, not Shadow of the Colossus.

The original Pokémon does have a strong aesthetic of its own, coming from director Satoshi Tajiri’s fond memories of catching bugs in childhood.
I'm so torn about stuff like this. On one hand, yeah, it absolutely sucks that people lost their job based on a thing you did. But on the other hand, their jobs existed only because things were broken that didn't need to be. Essentially, bullshit jobs: it sorta feels related to the trope of someone going around a neighborhood breaking people's windows to drum up business for the local window-installation company, without the nefarious bits.

I feel similarly about the rise of automation. At a global/society level, I think it's great that there are jobs humans don't have to do anymore. That leaves more people to be able to pursue "higher" things. But the reality is that some people who had jobs now don't, and might be suffering financial insecurity because of that. Our society should be helping people retrain, and keep them on their feet financially while they do so, but many places just don't have a good enough safety net for that, let alone specific programs for retraining when jobs become unnecessary.

You know, the attitude of "plebes are plebes, they should be protected and carefully told what to think so they don't to stupid things like Brexit" is very un-democratic.

Instead of taking this information and learning from it, you're just blaming the very progressive-leaning social media.

At least I would probably have made a ton of money and would be made to feel important.

Every minute of software development makes you feel like you're never good enough (the compiler keeps reminding you). Also, on the company side, you're always made to feel like a replaceable cog in a big machine, not to mention that salaries are generally limited and under constant threat of outsourcing... To rub salt into the wound, most companies don't even care about code quality; they will happily pay 10 mediocre engineers to do the job of 1 good engineer (for 10x the total price) and end up with worse results. Hiring has been broken for decades. They don't care about coding efficiency or maintainability when they have a monopoly... Engineer salaries are often peanuts relative to their significant revenues... They could hire 10 times more devs for the same work and it would make little difference for them... Yet they will not pay high salaries to engineers based on talent; it's all about internal politics.

I would have expected there to be some more effort to curate and cull the collection before rehosting it in full size. Z-Library's automatic deduplication was at best perfunctory; too many works were featured in various formats and editions with no indication of their merits or distinctions. I wouldn't be surprised if the file size could be cut in half without any valuable information lost.
I was always fascinated by the "Sizzlers" line of tiny motorizied Hot Wheels. The engineering to make a tiny EV seems excellent, especially for the time. I wonder why no similar toy has been made since.

>Android’s biggest contribution/change is the security model — the old UNIX one is simply way too crude, so instead android runs each application as a new, dynamically created user so that UNIX permissions actually get used properly, to a degree.

That doesn't justify any of the other Android's "traits". It's also not clear why that couldn't be done as part of regular gnu/linux, as it is being done now with Wayland + flatpak/firejail/anything that introduces that sort of security model WITHOUT destroying the entire ecosystem. That would actually seem easier as that'd involve much less reinventing.
I recall at least one video of someone being taken (kidnapped) off the street by hazmat-suited people. Rumours of more, and also rumours of people dropping dead on the sidewalk. If these were true events, the original virus may have been immensely worse than the variant that made it into an international flight.
Do you believe that's what I'm doing? Are my comments "exceptionally aggressive"?

I'd like to think I'm rather the opposite - firm in my convictions but willing to walk anyone through my reasoning. You may not agree with my conclusions and you may walk away thinking I'm out of touch.

But I feel I'm watching a situation where both sides are painting with over broad brushes - you accuse everyone of being exceptionally aggressive, many folks in my camp accuse everyone of being a bigot. It's the same pattern, imo, and we'd get a lot farther if we all avoided such generalizations. (Imo)
this is very cool. i think i'd like to contribute. is the author in the thread? how can i get in contact?
That's not entirely true. There are load calculations that get done to figure out if a new circuit can be added. If you're going to trip the main breaker while charging and cooking dinner at the same time, you'll probably need a service upgrade per electrical code

I believe the equivalent here means formally equivalent.

But, really, you can use each of them to emulate the other.

If you want to emulate objects with functions, you just have your function return a bag of closures over the state. Your first function is effectively a constructor.

To emulate functions with objects, you just create a single method class. Or do something real fancy with Scala's apply and/or C++'s ClassName::operator()() so it looks like a normal call, if you are so inclined.
