Yes, all very true; and in some cases you may extend the client role motivation down further into their own organization to fund the project in the first place through a fractal of self similar patterns. Looked at from deep enough in the client organization - the contractor CTO/CPO and the Client's own PMO are all just 'that project' and have the same commitment pressures.

Actually, if they can provide a stable release with the most important nightly features I might pick this over rustc.

The rust team don't seem to understand anything about production software, quality assurance and maintenance. Hopefully competing with a more organised compiler with TLS support that is not crippled will put some pressure on them.

In the US, doing that is considered derogatory.

"I saw your girlfriend. It was buying something at the corner store."

Is approximately as bad as "The bitch was at the corner store."

Because "it" is reserved for animals and inanimate objects.

If you have an obvious accent, people will generally understand the "it" was a grammatical error.
That was a fun process. Really telling that you need to understand what is going on with these smart contracts...

I think a lot of big corp employees look down at startups because it’s a huge gamble. They get paid less and have unstable careers. And so they confuse it for ability. Personally, I think those that work at startups learn to be more adaptive and gain more valuable skills outside of bureaucracy.
> I once had a 35 minute "normal route" commute that only took 15 minutes once I figured out how to do it in a third more distance, but by only making right turns at traffic lights.

So then there's actually no problem? It seems like it's the best of both worlds: pedestrians have extreme ease at crossings, and drivers -- with a little route planning -- can still get places quickly.

You seem to assume that this is applied against the will of the academic staff. It seems to me that most of the professors are fully on board with this program.

In the end it will be all self correcting. Those woke universities reputation is melting like ice cream in the sun. I remember Brian Armstrong mentioning in an interview that he starts to see companies adding basic skill tests in their recrutment as they don't really trust those universities selection process anymore. I certainly lost any respect for those universities, and I graduated from one of those.
In different times, the people responsible for things like this would be put in the stockades at the center of town, and we would all go throw rotten tomatoes at them. Maybe we should bring that back, to dissuade people from this sort of idiocy.

> the successful ones still got there by playing hundreds upon hundreds of shows... it's just hard work.

This is the vision of the music industry we all would like to have. Hard work, pluckiness, some element of luck and "striking a chord" with the public and you, too, can be a success! It is a dangerous fallacy that drives many musicians into the trap the top comment is complaining about.

The reality is a lot uglier.

Ever since large music conglomerates conquered (integrated) the entire promotion/publishing/distribution/sales stack in the 70s/80s, becoming successful in music has been about fighting giants on their home turf. That's AFTER you beat the odds by getting a label A&R person (or the contemporary equivalent) to like you. The markets, gatekeepers, processes, and legal agreements are all set up to screw you, hard, because every one of those is run by a different face of the same multi-billion dollar company with serious lawyer and lobbying budgets, and you're a small entity with no legal budget (and probably no experience).

This was the very successful industry profit model for decades before the Internet, and the generations of executives since then have been focused on regaining that regulatory and legal positioning in the "new industry".

These two famous articles explain the structure of the pre/early internet music indistry very clearly: Steve Albini (famous music producer) wrote "the problem with music" in 1993[1], and Courtney Love "did the math" [2] of how an impossibly good record deal would work out for the artist in 2000. They're enetertaining and interesting reads. Every step along that journey, think of the modern music industry equivalent, and you'll find it is facing (or has already lost) exactly the battle the top comment is bemoaning with Spotify. The large players are working hard to achieve the vertical integration and control they once had, and it is working.

[1] https://mpg.org.uk/knowledge-bank/the-problem-with-music-by-...

[2] https://www.salon.com/2000/06/14/love_7/

I should note: there is no board of shadowy figures out to screw artists. This is natural dynamics of any labor market with a persistent glut. The buyer controls the price, and if it's a market where the sellers are passionate and driven to sell because they believe "it just takes hard work and luck", they will lower the price indefinitely... until they are even taking on predatory debt just to get their product out there.

Please stop spreading the myth that "it just takes hard work." It convinces too many good people to walk into an exploitative industry and thank their exploiters for the screwing. What it actually takes, is relentlessly beating giant megacorps at their own game. Most of the famous ones are actively getting screwed for the privilege of riding on a tour bus. There is a lot that music fans can do to help the musicians they love, and it starts with understanding the musician's fight.
That's a great list of the H.264 patent claims--thanks. I had naively assumed that since the first iteration of standard was published in 2003 that "obviously" all related patents (to features in the first iteration, anyway) would have to have been filed prior. Clearly, that is not the case.
> Even now, I dread new python versions because some dependency would start using those features

If a dependency breaks compatibility with earlier Python versions because the author wants to use a fancy new feature is not really the fault of Python, is it? Library authors should target the earliest supported Python version they can.

Being backwards compatible (at which Python has been doing a good job since the 2->3 fiasco) is one thing, but trying to be forwards compatible is something else.

Are you suggesting that Python developers should only ship bug fixes so that Python 3.0 can still run code written for Python 3.11?
I read it more like "the (Windows subsytem) for ...", but the outcome is the same. Our language system, however, has a strong penchant for what's known as right attachment: constituents such as the prepositional phrase (in this case "for ...") are preferably attached below the preceding constituent, and that preference already takes effect at the preposition, so the decision is made before knowing the complete sentence. Because the sentence is ambiguous, you get stuck on the wrong interpretation.

Curiously enough, I have the same feeling about reverse proxy. Neither proxy reverses anything functional. A reverse proxy would be something that lets you talk to the proxied entity directly, a tunnel perhaps.
there is the same recommendation for "she".
This is a case of a family who chose to live on unincorporated land because they wanted less government protection. It's a severe edge case involving very individual circumstances. You can't make any conclusions about the US from this.

I wasn't able to find it again but there also people in Germany who lack health insurance due to an inability to pay and must rely on charity clinics. These are mostly elderly Germans who paid into a private system, foregoing the public system, and eventually lost health insurance after their earnings declined. It's just the US that has these "third world problems."

I'm registered with a cryonics company to be frozen after death on a rare chance that it actually works.

My reasoning is that I simply like living. I think that arguments against longevity often sound deep, but if you rephrase them in more straightforward terms, they'll seem completely devoid of substance.

For example, what does "we're children of our times mean?" That once world changes too much, death is preferable to adapting? I would absolutely love to see how the world will look in a hundred years, and I sincerely hope it will be strange and unique.

Same with "death will simply take us back to where we came from"... I'm sorry, but it doesn't really mean anything. If my loved one dies, that's bad. If my friend gets sick, I hope they recover. Again, I'm sorry but once we strip the poetics, there's really nothing left here.

> Do you just object to the existence of the list?

I object to the existence of this particular list because I think it's extremely poorly done - to the point of being actively harmful to efforts to reduce offensive language - and would be incredibly confusing to anyone who didn't already have the fairly deep linguistic and cultural competence required to know which parts to take seriously and which parts to ignore.

I don't object to the general existence of lists of this type, but
I do think they're often subject to the same pathologies this one is.

> I still think my original question stands - why wouldn’t I want to avoid most of these terms? Isn’t the list useful if I would?

I think a huge section of this list is not helpful to anybody. "Red team", "yellow team", and "black box" have nothing to do with race whatsoever, for example, nor would a reasonable person think they did; eliminating them from your vocabulary would do no more to address racial injustice than eliminating "armadillo" would. And I do think there are costs to urging people to monitor their speech to greater and greater degrees for rapidly decreasing - and in many cases zero - benefit.
Totally tangential. Are there movies or studios that have open-sourced code or tech hardware used to make the movie?
I don’t agree that trying to estimate things is bad as the author suggests. If you are perceptive and want to get better at it, then there’s a decent chance you will. Estimates also help us timebox work. They can help us give an objective view of when we should start exploring functionality tradeoffs. This article sounds like a lot of whining about not wanting to do something because it’s difficult.

I will say I think that holding people to estimates is not fair because it doesn’t necessarily correlate with productivity/value added.
When asked for estimates my general rule is: take a conservative estimate and double it.

> How do we close this Pandora's box?

I don't see an end to this, I think it's getting worse. It looks like a revolution picking up speed. The places that stopped revolutions did it with very heavy measures. If there is a way to stop this that is not that, I don't know what it is.

I don't think this guide is meant to prevent harm. It almost seems like this kind of language policing is like a shibboleth to identify the in from the out group. It forces you to join the in group or suffer the immediate consequences of being in the out group. So like instant career suicide if you disobey the rules. If you don't comply, you are now in the same camp as the most evil people on the planet. No one wants that association so they comply. It's extremely effective. So I don't see it going away.
Spanish has separate words for "North American", "United States citizen", and "from North, Central or South America". The latter is "Americano" and hardly ever used to describe people. ("Eurasian" is similarly useless in English)

A friend of mine's mother is a researcher at a University and is in conflict with one of the department heads. She was denied some sort of career advancement over "You mentioned to someone that you liked the way they did their hair. This made your working environment unsafe for minorities as person could be reminded that their hairstyles are different than majority white styles [fwiw she also has exceptionally messy curly hair]".

Obvious nonsense, and the person who she complimented agreed. But when an administrator doesn't like someone, and needs to find a reason to cause them problems, this sort of list is a very useful tool. Maybe you don't even have to say it - "Professor X was found in repeated violation of our racial safety standards, and we just can't have racist staff".

I'll add that I don't have an issue with removing racist/bigoted language - but this list largely consists of obvious slurs that nobody needs a ruleset to avoid, or mundane words where no person would even begin to feel racist/offended outside of an administrator finding excuses to make more rules.
Is there such a thing as nostalgia for the future? Because I'm sure I experience it just as much as for the past, especially with how much the world changes decade to decade in current times, it's just too interesting to watch.

The fact that we’ve gotten used to these kinds of records is amazing. Elon Musk is a stupid dipshit, but what the people at SpaceX achieved is incredible. Relaunching boosters 15 times and launching 3 rockets within 34 hours is such an incredible achievement.
It is quite a risky tactic to confront a bureaucracy with an "absolutely no one will take this seriously" attitude.

Particularly stuff like this, they are demarcating an in-group and an out group. The primary reason people come up with this sort of silly list of magic words is to start discriminating against the out-group.
The verbose alternative also draws more attention to the condition being described. Since most of these are negative conditions, you could argue that you're emphasizing the negative by dedicating so many words to it.

my theory is that the only way to explore the universe is to turn ourselves into machines. the distances don't look that menacing when you can turn yourself off for the duration of a millennial trip. space required in a "spaceship" suited for machines only would also be minimal, and life support wouldn't be needed.

this would also make an interesting sci-fi book :)
Well, you need mp3s and mp4s to drop. Spotify and similar are more convenient than downloading music in various places (legal or not), to rip CDs, or to digitalise your analog audio (tape, vinyls,…).
In Hamburg we have these, but even worse they are touch activated with a light if you successfully activated it and some of them don’t work. No one understands the gesture needed to make it function and every time I see people randomly rubbing and smacking it to try and activate it. Worst part is that there are some major junctions that won’t go green for the pedestrian unless you press it. Easily the worst UX I’ve ever seen for a public infrastructure. You can’t even activate it unless you are at the right part of the cycle. If you try and do it when the lights have just changed back to red for the pedestrians it won’t work.

Absolutely maddening. They should never use whatever company they contracted to design those again
As someone that has frozen cells down many times successfully, I don’t think this will ever work for bodies.

> The thing more of us need to understand is this has never been about "safety", it's about power and control.

Precisely.

It's an attempt by some groups to have others jump through hoops that they define. The end goal is never language, but the ability to control what others do and be the one calling the shots.

I can't remember the book it came from, but there was an author who wrote about his time growing up in an Eastern European communist country. During "Independence Days" his dad had to put a flag up in his store window. It wasn't optional. If he didn't do it, the police would stop by and ask why he didn't have a flag in his window.

If he refused, he's be on the "naughty list" with the authorities which could impact his employment, his housing, his kids schooling.

Putting the flag in the window was never the goal of the government. The goal was to show citizens they had no choice. The author talks about how capitulating the demand was dehumanizing and just ground down any resistance to authority that may have existed. "If I don't have the choice as to fly a flag or not, what choice did I have with more important aspects of my life?"

It's like putting stars of David on Jews in Germany. It wasn't just to identify them in public (though that was a goal) it was also to show them "who was in charge".
"Black" was similarly offensive ten years later. This was especially awkward in English speaking countries other than the US.
I'd heard of "brown bag lunch" being a thing, and I'd assumed that was right wing trolling.

If I racially discriminate my mid day meeting using a white bag, is that ok?

Outside of “tech Twitter”, it’s just as stable as ever. Most people who use it to socialise weren’t impacted at all by the recent changes. I can guarantee you that even with the worst possible management it’ll still be orders of magnitude more stable than Mastodon or whatever FOSS solution comes along.

The problem with traditional, mainstream social media for normal people is ads, dark patterns, spam and the general adversarial environment where the platform is primarily there to serve the advertiser and not the user, thus the latter are treated like cattle. Those are the problems that an alternative solution needs to solve, while ideally not introducing its own.

Mastodon, by virtue of not having a business model (which would also be a massive problem should it gain large amounts of users and they stick around), avoids the ads and dark patterns, but introduces many problems of its own.

I’ve written my thoughts on Mastodon previously and they are just as valid nowadays: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

If you’re building a competitor to mainstream social media and call it Mastodon and the posts “toots” and refuse to see/acknowledge it even 6 years later, it’s dead on arrival and I’m not even talking about addressing the hard problems brought upon by decentralisation if you couldn’t even address that first.
From my PoV that'd be the 1970s|1980s ... when I heard AC/DC in the local Fremantle Tavern, along with the Divinyls, David Helfgott (classical piano) down at Riccardo's wine bar, touring orchestra's at the local concert hall etc.
