Long-duration timers are also incompatible with fully traffic-actuated signals and/or public transport priority, because both of those mean that the actual phase sequence that's going to happen can be determined only a few seconds (if even that) in advance. Those kinds of timers you mention in Asia on the other hand require that the phase sequence get fixed at least one signal cycle in advance (i.e. on the order of one or multiple minutes), which is much too long for full traffic actuation and/or public transport priority.

My current project is my first project in a while which does not use black.

I liked black, though I was never satisfied with the fact that there was no way to normalize quotes to be single quotes: '. Shift keys are hard on your hands, so avoiding " makes a lot of sense to me. But there's the -S option that simply doesn't normalize quotes so it has never been a real issue.

However, this new project has a lot of typer functions with fairly long parameter lists (which correspond to command line arguments so they can't be broken up).

black reformats these into these weird blocks of uneven code that are very hard to read, particularly if you have comments.

Everyone is a fan of black; no one liked the result. :-/

I have a key in my editor to blacken individual files, but we don't have it as part of our CI. Perhaps next project again.

There has never been any proof for it, and the scraps of data that point in the direction of a weak version of Sapir-Whorff all suffer from the usual psychology research flaws (cf. replication crisis).

If there's any way in which word usage influences our thoughts, there's not much evidence of it. E.g., there are ungendered languages, but the societies that use them are absolutely not more feminist than those where a gendered language is spoken. And suppressing slurs usually leads to substitution by other words, showing that the thought very much stays alive, independent of the word.

I continue to be amazed how much vitriol Musk manages to stir up by being an arbitrary agent of chaos for the wrong side. Who cares if he wastes $44B? If anything, he's fighting inflation by removing mistakenly-assigned value of $44B from circulation.

It is overwhelming to see so many language guidelines in one place. But the point is to catalog a comprehensive set of best practices.

The vast majority of cases presented here are changes I've learned over the past 20+ years. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s,almost all of the negative cases on here were normal ways to talk. Some individual cases are debatable--and it would probably be better to refer to more nuance, since there is not unanimous agreement on all of them--but on the whole, I think it's a useful catalog, with mostly good rationale.

I think there are wrong ways to use such a catalog. Using it to be punitive or demanding 100% compliance would be counterproductive, I think. Nothing is absolute. However, using it as a guide for small, teachable moments is really useful.

Honestly, it's simply about being respectful and making an effort. Considering my language use is a small, but useful step to improving my practice of empathy, on the whole.
Less steps to create a web page and more minimalist. This is just an mvp, the plan is to make it more capable in the future, but for now it's just for someone who need one paragraph for biography and a few links. In the future, you should be able to publish writings, show images, etc. and to include more info about yourself so it can be used like a resume/CV.

For now it's not monetized, and what is free now will remain free, so no worries that something will suddenly be restricted. In the future, it may be monetized in a way where there are new features which require upgrading to premium, so there'd be a Free and Premium plan.

Maybe what you take for protecting Elon is really just having a different opinion? I've personally 'defended' Musk a lot on HN already, not because I particularly like him or think he needs it, but because I honestly think that he is smart and archieved some impressive successes. He's still flawed, obviously, but that doesn't mean that I won't disagree with someone arguing that he is just to dumb to manage anything.

Now, of course there are fanboys agreeing with everything and haters disagreeing with everything, but in these Elon threats I saw a lot of accusations of fanboyism/blind hate when the actual commenter simply disagreed about the situation.

Some of them are deliberate slurs but most of them are just colourful language.

This list is 95% absolutely ridiculous and I’m what you’d probably consider a proponent of social justice.

It’s deeply funny, but also tragic because while there should be an attempt to make language inclusive, lists like this make the movement look like a joke.
Yeah I read the article and the comments on HN so I know what it's about now. I still think they (not HN) should change the title to include what secret scanning means.

Edit: how about dropping the corporatese and title it "github will now scan public repos for secret WeChat tokens"?

Twitter could make a comeback.. they'd need to sellout to Google or Microsoft probably, and he'd probably get AT MOST 5 billion.

These companies know how to run online communities like GitHub, and YouTube. They're also more professional and less prone to one person's cult of personality.
You’re gonna need to do better than submit a YouTube beef.

You would probably feel differently if you had learned the term man and mankind also refer to all human beings and that usage had been normal and active for your entire life.

Of course saying womankind sounds funny now because we haven’t heard it used for our whole lives. The term mankind derives from Sanskrit meaning children of Manu (a god). It’s not a sexist term and we’ve gone 2000 years without people finding it offensive, it’s only one that people with no other issues in their life need something to be offended about and decide to make a war on words.
It generates the same password when on the same domain. There's probably a usability explanation for this behaviour, rather than lack of entropy.

Only thing I can think is that sign up forms make you enter a password twice to prevent you from making a typo in the password. So with this you can right click and generate a password in both password fields and it will be the same password in both
Since Elon bought twitter, you can't say anything even mildly positive about him or his companies now without immediate downvotes.
I've clicked the link in the original post too, but that seems to refer to an archaic use of the word. We don't live in 1600s England. Do people use "gay" for happy, or "thou" is part of every day speech? So, if people use a word in a modern sentence, it should be interpreted by it's contemporary meaning.

That's not what happened though.

Someone read an article, where someone described a group of people with holier-than-thou attitudes (granted, sometimes they make good points, but let's get real: its Twitter, so there's few good points to be had in general).

This person then decided to cling onto a footnote about archaic use of a single word to insinuate Musk is a misogynist (and maybe he really is, I don't know).

If I was being facetious I could say your use of "link" reminds me of chains and slavery, and call you an insensitive micro-aggressive racist. It would, of course, be ludicrous. (Edit: I forgot this did happen with git actually lol)
Wouldn't it be better to be put into a crater that never sees sunlight? Ideally with some protection against micro-meteorites. There's still the radiation issue...
Just wanted to thank you for the article! I really enjoyed it.

It has a cool backstory: travelling between stars at the speed of light using laers... it shows practical use of CLOS which is something I've always wanted to get into but never found the time... and it shows how ChatGPT can be very helpful to write tedious code (as someone who's written really tedious parsing, bit manipulation code, I will definitely look into using it for those cases).

Really recommended reading the whole thing for anyone just checking comments.

Civilization runs on grace, removing the ability to express yourself freely removes some of that grace, and lessens all of us.
This is quite easy to reproduce. Wow.

IMO they should just remove the password generator feature. It's barely usable, and with this behavior it's just dangerous.

Why barely usable? Some really simple features are missing. I miss the ability to specify password requirements - for annoying sites which specify length, require so and so many these and those types of characters, or even forbid some types. And another one is that it's not possible to manually generate a password, not even in the password storage UI, when manually adding a new entry. So, if a site did not correctly declare a password field, which happens, you must generate a password yourself somehow.
Yes. The code started as being indented by tabs, so changing it now is a mess. Also, not to start a flamewar, but I've always preferred tabs to spaces in any language, I find them more reliable, easier to use...
First, it’s a thought exercise - people are talking like this some unavoidable fact of nature when it’s largely unique to the United States where we have the combination of heavily armed cops with poor trigger discipline and a phone system which is increasingly useless because the companies were allowed to prioritize revenue over security.

Second, you can argue anything will be a slippery slope (you should hear what people say raising the capital gains rate 1% will do) but it’s intellectually dishonest to pretend there’s no distinction between contributing to a violence death and “basically anything”. Operating critical safety infrastructure should carry responsibilities beyond the average business.
Musk ruining Twitter may be bad for his wallet, but actually good for the Freedom of speech in a way he didn't expect. The world doesn't need a platform ruled by people who know better. It needs decentralized means of communication where censorship is just technically not possible.

> They have a run rate > 4 billion a year even after all those layoffs?

I highly recommend reading the following article:

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/30/1139964806/how-elon-bought-tw...

Elon Musk bought Twitter with "loans". The interest of those loans are now a responsibility for Twitter. Meaning did NOT have a huge run rate. The leveraged buyout caused this.

There have been an insane amount of focus that the huge predicted losses are a result of lazy overpaid developers. This while ignoring that Elon Mush did a leveraged buyout. The number of employees wasn't the issue, making Twitter responsible for billions in loans while the interest rate of those loans went up is the problem.

Elon Musk keeps complaining about the federal reserve and the interest rate. He's complaining for a reason. He gambled and couldn't back out.

It depends on trust, yes. But trust doesn't depend on truth (because someone doesn't need metaphysical or religious beliefs for them to be trustworthy)

They're not especially rare at these latitudes (I live in southern Finland, ~61°N). You see them fairly frequently on summer nights, rocket launches or not. But what is interesting that nobody seems to have written anything about them until the 20th century, which could indicate that suitable condensation nuclei did not exist in the upper atmosphere before humans started emitting them.
This sucks, and it would normally be Apple's App Store duty to remove an app that requests unreasonable access to the device's details.
It took a while for Apple to add color support, but when they did they were early out with proper color management in the whole chain from scanner to display to printer (ColorSync). IIRC when Adobe needed this on Windows for PhotoShop they had to re-implement it themselves (rather than relying on Windows)

According to this MacOS got OS-level color management in 1993, and Windows wouldn't get it for another 4 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_management#Operating_sys...

How does "committed" trivialize the experience? If anything saying "by suicide" obfuscates and weakens the message.

It depends on the exact distribution of sizes (and especially if the size[s] are statically knowable—e.g. if you are copying exactly 31 bytes, or something like an unknown size between 48 and 62 bytes, a SW sequence will still win), but it is now _competitive_ if not actually as fast (previously it was often 2-3x slower in that range, even when the length was not fixed).

Okay, but Stanford is not demanding that; this site is about words they don’t want used on their own websites and marketing materials.

It is not bargaining if you can't possibly get what you want.

If you are in a union shop, you can't get paid more than what's on the grid. If you want more, you need to resign and get somewhere else. But don't pretend you have a choice to do "individual bargaining".

Unions eliminate the individual bargaining power of people.

Except, of course, if we choose to use your definition, and call resigning and moving to another job "bargaining".
The video mentions the article. I wonder if the video host Tom's intro slide makes another interesting point - survivor bias. Statistically someone will make it through decades of bad decisions unscathed, and with generous self-appraisal will call it good decision making, when it actual fact they were just of the lucky. (survivor bias - shouldn't look at extremely successful companies for inspiration)

I'll watch the rest of the video, but wanted to thank you for sharing it, and sharing your perspective. I am by no means risk averse, and long to fly one day, but after a few years of one dangerous sport, and considering joining friends in paragliding, I looked into the safety aspect and it seemed too risky (coming from one deadly sport, I felt like I needed a break, not another)

it does come at the cost of latency & jitter: fundamental issues that ultimately stem from having two separate audio clocks. and it's not really a specific limitation of windows, which tend to use ASIO for low-latency audio. there's nothing stopping a an aggregate ASIO driver from being written, i just can't imagine it'd be that useful, indeed, i've only ever used the macOS aggregate device a handful of times, mostly only to try it out.
Is it a bug or a feature?

Depending on the exact wording, I completely expect the browser to suggest the same password for the same website in the same session for the same user.

Websites are crap and sometimes you need to enter the same password twice before the browser has gotten the notice to actually save the first one.
