People are positioning Mastodon as an alternative to Twitter that is not and cannot be controlled by Elon Musk. He is the reason people are leaving. So the last thing that Mastodon needs is to be amenable to people like Elon Musk.
I was unable to obtain a government backed mortgage for a decade because LexisNexis Risk Solutions was reporting a judgement inaccurately on my risk profile that they would not remove until I had a lawyer file suit against them and notified the CFPB. I received a $600 check as part of a $21M class action settlement [1]. I was lucky, and had the means to obtain creative financing (non-QM) when needed. Others are not so lucky.

I share this story because once you have experienced something like this, it is totally understandable why people want to burn parts of the system down. Sometimes, they’re not wrong. There is a special place in hell for the people behind these corporate transgressions, who seemingly never face sufficient punishment for the harm they cause.

In my opinion, the excitement occasioned by the discovery of so many exoplanets has clouded our collective judgement on the Fermi Paradox, leading the overwhelmingly most probable resolution to be underemphasized.

Namely: there is no life out there. Not due to baroque mechanisms such as techno-self-destruction but just due to its sheer unlikeliness. As large as the number of stars in the observable universe is (let’s say 10^24?), the space of combinatoric possibilities that must be threaded for the sustained chain reaction of life to occur is probably that much vaster. The so-called Drake equation is not useful since multiple terms have error bars that are not even estimable.

> What you are describing is the literal act of gazing. Your next two sentences are about media, but still mostly about the act of gazing. They had nothing to do with how men are portrayed by women directors, which would be the actual female gaze.

The literal act of gazing is what "the gaze" in the context of art is referring to, whether it's in media form or performed in real life. It makes no sense for "the gaze" to purely exist in the context of art, without some representation in the real world independent of art, given "the gaze" is a representation of an individual "gazing" at someone else due to their attraction. In modern contexts, it's clear criticism of "the gaze" is criticism of the objectification of women. It's argued that it's "harmful" in art, as it represents objectification of women.

> I agree. But it's not about the literal act of gazing, which is what your original post was referring to.

"The gaze" as a term in art, only exists because the act of checking someone out and objectifying them exists independent of the art context, and people have strong opinions about it. You cannot define "the gaze" without the concept of objectifying them in the real world as then, it wouldn't make any sense.
Depends on kind of tool. A good (and probably expensive) tool will last you long, but sometimes those tools are more complicated to use because they are targeting professions. When it comes to an adjustable wrench - sure, buy an expensive one from a good brand. That makes sense because cheap and expensive only differ in quality and durability.

When it comes to complicated tools, probably start with something reasonable and cheap. That covers not just tools, but also appliances and other things: cheap coffee machines are put coffee/capsule in and press a button, expensive one would be very manual.

Sorta depends what you think is advertised. AFAICT what's advertised is that Bill Gates gives away his money to create the kind of world and society Bill Gates wants to live in. I don't really see why I should want to live according to Bill Gates' ideas or preferences, so I'm critical on that ground -- but that doesn't make it a scam.

The theological argument is simply context to understand why the Church changed it’s mind between 325 and 1311. It then changed again between 1311 and now. And of course why the Eastern Christian perspective on usury is yet again different.

This stuff is really caught up on more fundamental philosophical changes over huge stretches of time.

I agree with this, but the way that we use the internet and media might not be the way that most people use it. If the focus is preventative, I have no idea how curation could scale in a way that prevents bad actors from reaching an audience, just because there's so much stuff to curate
The only things I can think of do involve a ups. There are battery banks that support pass through charging but I’m not sure if you’re supposed to use that constantly. A low capacity power strip style ups seems like the next best. Or don’t use a pi at all - if you have an old laptop that you don’t use, that could be the server and it has its own built in ups.

Sorry I don’t know that I’m being helpful here. I had the same issue and just ended up with an ups - but I also ended up plugging my networking rack into it (router, cable modem, switch, nas) as well. We’ve only had one real outage since I set this up, but it kept my network alive for 90 minutes or so and then the power came back up.

Amazon is heavily promoting a tool that (as near as I can figure out) is a combination adjustable wrench and vise-grips, thus offering you two options for destroying fastener heads in one convenient tool.
Similar story for me. Used to basically use vim, but after taking over a large-ish python project I switched to PyCharm.

Its support for detecting type errors (I use type hints pretty consistently) and its refactoring support have probably saved me way more than 100 hours. Just Shift-shift searching has probably done that by itself, too. And import optimization. I could go on and on.

Plus integrated sql/db stuff is just icing on the cake. Best subscription I’ve ever paid for.

Hate to admit it, but she has a point. Though my CS masters program (BSU, US) only accepted me on a provisional basis until I finished the undergrad CS algos courses. It was more challenging than many of the MS courses. Partly due to the challenge of a foreign discipline.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I only have a user view, not mpv developer. I consider the JSON IPC API quite stable, well documented through mpv(1) and https://mpv.io/manual/stable/. Almost every command-line option documented in mpv(1) is mapped 1:1 to the JSON IPC, so mpv(1) documents both the command-line, and, the JSON IPC.

Even if they cannot enforce this list, it will be cited as an authority by others. Given Stanford's stature, this list will be given weight by many in academia and industry.

Stanford is exercising its free speech to tell other people not to speak freely. Imagine what you would say if Harvard were telling students not to talk about abortions because it could trigger listeners who had siblings that were aborted. Or saying that the words "clingers" or "deplorables" or "basket" are inappropriate because of what a politician said one time. Would you be such a big advocate for their free speech?

Is OCR that good yet? From what I've seen, it's good if you have uniform text in a single standard-looking font. When layout or font varies widely, or there's extraneous stuff on the page (for instance: headers, footers, page numbers, marginal notes, same-page footnotes, low quality source material with marks on it, or scan artifacts), quality degrades. Good OCR engines I've seen can still OCR all the things and present them in a somewhat readable text format, but general intelligence (human or AGI) allows quick, automatic recognition of different sections of text that a narrow OCR AI struggles with. A human or AGI knows this text and that text are both blockquotes, or marginal notes, and instinctively attaches semantic meaning to each area, font, style, color encountered. An OCR engine struggles to get beyond blocks of text each with their own margins and no semantic meaning attached, leading to markup hell.

To highlight the limitations, look at an OCR'd version of a technical book with code samples and different fonts and styles that have different meanings, and that has both footnotes and endnotes. The text will be readable, but disorganized, probably inconsistent styling, and even if some footnotes and endnotes are linked by a good engine, I suspect that's less than fully reliable. For the purposes of reading the book, I'd rather have the scanned pdf with page images for reading, with the OCR'd text as the text layer for searching.

Lower-quality source images seem to cause major problems for tesseract, and even ABBYY judging from archive.org text conversions. Those engines confuse more ambiguous letter or punctuation combinations, while humans can still read the images without much trouble.

Knipex makes some decent adjustable wrenches (not crescent style, though). Their Pliers Wrench line has an adjustment mechanism like a channel lock plier, but then has a jaw that’s on a cam mechanism to keep the two jaws parallel. One direction they’re just as good as a crescent wrench, but in the other direction it “self tightens” and you can really reef on it. The cam mechanism allows you to loosen your grip and there’s just enough room for a bolt head/nut to spin around, so it’s almost like having a ratchet, too. Only downsides are price and they are not super low profile so you need a bit of room to turn in.
> you're assuming that QM is in invalid description because it doesn't satisfy how you want the world to work.

That's an uncharitable interpretation. People have an objection to speculations like many-worlds because they aren't corroborated by observation, and by nature can't be (iiuc), and are therefore unscientific (though not necessarily untrue). Well-established physicists like Sabine Hossenfelder hold this position and it's not as clear-cut as "the facts don't care about your feelings" like some make it out to be.
Singular they for when you aren't sure of gender actually seems to simplify language quite a bit in my experience. There are lots of non-non-binary situations that its helpful and you can avoid those awkward "he or she" "his or her" type phrases. Plus, everyone knows how to use they already, never had anyone get confused by it.

"Bob went to the store and they bought some beer" is completely parsable by everyone - nobody is getting confused unless they are trying to be.
Still, this doesn't leave me with a good taste in my mouth.
> This argument only makes sense if the (monthly) rent payments are more than mortgage payments + maintenance costs.

> In most cases, that's not true.

In most cases, that's not true initially.

Over time, rents rise substantially but mortgages are fixed and can go lower by refinancing.

When I bought a house, the monthly cost was a bit over 200% of my rent at the time (of a roughly similar-sized rental unit). Yes it was painful in that first year.

It only took ~3 years for the rents in the area to become similar to my then already lowered mortgage via refinance.

Fast forward a couple decades and my housing costs are ~20% of rental rates in the area.

By the time I retire the mortgage will be long gone. It is heartbreaking to watch older people on fixed income having to deal with ever-rising rents.

Iterable is not compatible with list, but list is compatible with iterable. As the more general type, Iterable is better as an argument type unless you have a reason to force consumers to use lists. Even in private interfaces, I tend to prefer it, because I often end up wanting to pass something constructed on the fly, and creating an extra list for that rather than using a genexp just seems wasteful.
