I’ve been using Shortcuts pretty extensively. There are challenges of course. But for the most part, it’s great. Most good apps expose their actions. The usual culprits like Outlook lock it down based on corporate policy. You can even make bespoke API calls. Siri is much more usable for me because of this.

There are major glaring issues - like the rigidness of the Timer and the lack of a separate “sleep” timer. No option to pause the shortcut for an extended period of time. And the all too familiar Apple bugs these days. In spite of all this it’s definitely one of the exciting things Apple has released - especially after they made it portable between the phone, watch, iPad, mac and HomePod - albeit limited.
My problem is with people using nazis and communists for cheap rethoric effect towards people who don't know history and eat it all up. If you knew that people have been erased since the time of the babylonians you wouldn't immediately compared what's happened to nazi Germany.

And evading oppressive governments. Disobeying the law is not always a "bad" thing.
In the big picture immigrants contribute more economically than they take by a large margin.

People don't get that message. There is this discredited idea

https://www.simplypsychology.org/sapir-whorf-hypothesis.html

which holds true in one case that the "left" lost the fight over immigration when the phrase "illegal immigrant" became widespread.

The presence of illegal immigrants in our economy has numerous hidden effects: hire a Mexican as a farm hand and you'll get a talented agricultural professional who will save some money so he can start up his own farm back home. You can try to hire an American but you'll have to pay a lot more money than Burger King because Burger King is an easier job -- almost any US citizen will have little experience or aptitude for the work and will see it as a dead end job.

Similarly, illegal immigrants greatly help the economics of the hospitality, landscaping, and many other industries in California.

The first thing voters hear when they here about this is "illegal" and a little pulse of energy travels in their brain to "illegal = bad" and their attitudes are already set.

In principle some normalization of immigration law to take "illegal" out of it would dramatically change the way people think about it. Once you got that electrical short circuit between "illegal" and "bad" out of the way we could have a totally different conversation. It wouldn't be the end of the Republican Party but it would cause a crisis for them and force them to develop new ideology in many areas.

Much like the "right", he "left" (the corporate-linked wings that hold power in Washington) doesn't want to bring up the subject of any serious reform of immigration in the US because it opens up this big can of worms because many people are winners or losers or believe they are winners or losers from this situation and since it is all illegal and "undocumented" we've got no data about what the real impacts are.
I find his work down to earth, approachable, undogmatic and tender

Most valuable to me is his for lack of a better term non-violence. I've never read or heard him say negative things about other schools or teachings. He simply puts out his approach to things and lets you free to take, pick, choose, whatever. For example he gives _criteria_ for a practice, a teaching, a community.

The other extremely valuable aspect is his explicit approach to trauma, to overcoming deep rooted early onset trauma, little by little.

He fluently moves between traditions, if he is teaching a Christian audience then he'll use Christinesian lingo, if he is in a neutral settings (like training therapists) he'll "translate" concepts, like "contemplative church" or "sangha" or Ashram"; or "blind" and "see" vs "unknowing" and "awakened". Like a stream enterer would know that rituals are valuable (to some or many) but interchangeable or not useful to some. Which leads me to the third valuable thing: I'm rooted in a very liberal Catholicism and it's rituals, noises, smell and lingo feel "home" to me while the Zen noises, smells and lingo confused me, while not being _substantially_ different.

so in summary I was happy to find someone in the intersection of being trauma sensitive (healing even), being open minded and seeing Jesus-as-Zen-teacher-not-mage.

I mean if I were Greek I would rather have appreciation for others’ knowingly or unknowingly helping to spread the idea of Greekness rather than keep greekness to myself and let it wither in provinciality.
Okay! So what's your current understanding of the concept, and what confuses you about it?
I get the feeling that this is a retcon etymology.

Either way, it's marginalizing[1] and needs to be changed.

[1] In one of my wife's murder mysteries, I forget which, a woman quips in a brilliant stroke of teleplay writing: "Don't call people 'babes' or 'lushes', it's marginalising." I propose we use "marginalizing" instead of "offensive" because "offensive" is subjective whereas "marginalizing" denotes objective harm to a community.

It's really limited to think the only values that can inform this decision are the financial ones.

I think the value lost to confusion is likely very low, and the cost of renaming quite high. And yet I still think it should be done, because I highly value a group's right to choose the name they are referred to as and to have some control over how that name is used. There's not really a financial representation of that, but I don't think it's inconsistent either.

They'll have to cancel that expression as well. Now you are cooking with subatomic particles!

They sometimes provide code, and less often pre-computed models. But we're not talking about their crown jewels, so the name OpenAI is completely misleading.

This is an argument to not have any of those benefits (nor the income tax as well). Then a stronger semblance of markets can take root, especially w.r.t pay.

I'd be open to a UBI-type subsidy that is NOT means tested (everyone get it) to replace all the programs you've mentioned above, which are means tested.
Yea… despite the massive amounts of data being fed into these models, the model quality is still data-bound. There is no way to produce models like GPT-3 with manually annotated data.
It is detailed; it is not strong. There are tens of thousands of cultures and minority groups around the world and stereotyping will happen. Said stereotyping in this case is absolutely innocuous and frankly irrelevant in the grand scheme of actual problems indigenous communities have.
Legalization requires social support systems exist and function.

I am all for legalization of drugs, but without also massive investments in housing, mental health, and addiction recovery, it won't accomplish the goals. We also need a functioning police and judicial system.

If drugs are legal, and people are antisocial homeless people who support their addiction with crime, those people need jail, rehab, and help getting back on track. What we want to avoid is productive citizens having their lives ruined for a joint or a bit of coke on the weekend.

The legal future of drugs is being able to occasionally buy very expensive but pure cocaine at a club, not enabling addicts to happily get high in tents at the expense of society at large.

Seconded. A lot of success in the game depends on the luck of the draw in where your units are placed and the cards you get, but the games are varied and quick (~45 minutes or so for the first scenarios.) It's not too unusual to play three matches in an evening.

A Tutorial on Bazel for C++
I kinda wanted to agree with the author because of the number of times I've encountered and X-Yer that's neither X nor Y anymore.

But honestly even in those cases it's still usually somewhat informative despite the argument that it's misleading. It's still got some essence to it, and having a clue about the history is also often useful.

And it's frequently abbreviated XanYat or some such, or initialized the XY, which is just treated as any old name anyway and not a description. It's not cute or fun, and maybe less memorable (not sure about that, a single cute name is memorable but an ocean of them sounds confusing).
Stable Diffusion's code and model weights can be downloaded, but it's proprietary, not Open Source.
Sometimes people just need to be told how silly they are being. Also my post is regarding the OP specifically, nothing about other cultural appropriation or anything. Some of the arguments have actual merits. Arguing about Apache is not one of them.
It sounds like this idea makes some sense in the context of having made a large number of mistakes already, but the real answer is, don't let it get that bad. The author strikes me as having worked only at companies that are so dysfunctional that they have never seen what a functioning team looks like.

It starts going downhill here:

> Trouble is, names are hard to change.

Uh, why? They shouldn't be. It should be a find/replace on text, with tests to catch any issues. The essay later goes on to talk about people using the name... but that doesn't matter, because the code is the self-checking source of truth.

Additionally, name changes should be rare if you did your job right the first time.

> A well-factored service will generally have a tight set of responsibilities which make sense together, and this makes a descriptive name very appealing.

No. Wrong. A well-factored service has ONE responsibility. Period. Not "responsibilities", "responsibility".

This is what I mean when I say that a name change should be rare if you did your job right the first time. If a service has multiple responsibilities, you don't need to change the name, because you aren't adding or removing responsibilities. If you no longer need what the service does, the service can stop existing. And if you need something new, you create a new service.

And yes, sometimes performance means that you want to chunk stuff together, and strictly passing every different task over the network bus will cause your application to grind to a halt. That's more a criticism of the weird assumption that passing things over the network is necessary for encapsulation than of the single-responsibility principle, however. If your services are tightly coupled to separate network requests, you're going to experience pain no matter what you do. One of the first things a microservices architecture should do is abstract away the network so that from the caller's perspective, they don't know whether calling a service is making a network request or calling a library.

> I don't want to be the one to advocate for delaying features so we can rename broadcast-service to broadcast-and-new-responsibility-service. That's going to be an unpleasant conversation with your product manager, for good reason: Because this never should have happened, and it's a waste of time to change the name.

Agreed, because a) broadcast-service is a pretty vague name and b) new-responsibility should be its own new-responsibility-service.
I imagine it would mean to take an element of someone's culture, and then adapt it to your own use case that allows you to benefit from it, even if it shines a light on some sort of negative stereotype. Is that a decent definition
HN userbase is older and more American than tech in general. It follows that they are more invested in the legacy financial system than most and don't even encounter the problems crypto tries to solve. Also sour grapes.
If those people living in rent controlled units move, can they find a place with the same rent? Or would they need to move to a different state, away from their friends, family, community and job?
Ok but what about Nintendo, Bandai Namco and all the other great games developers?
That definitely matches my experience. I spend so much more time re-writing existing songs than I did when I was younger. It used to be almost entirely creating new material and moving on to create more. I wonder how much is my standards have gone up or lack of novelty in general as opposed to how much I've become attached to some of what I've created and feel it is worth polishing. Some of both I think.
This seems highly exaggerated.

If someone really over leveraged themselves so much, at some point you can’t blame their employer.
Sure yea. I think people on receiving end can only think in aggregates and general patterns. Individual opinions are not really relevant.

Native americans are the poorest class of people in America so its obvious that the mainstream culture doesn't view them as equals.
Of the three you mention, only "cholesterol" was actually named by an early chemist [0]. "Oil of vitriol" was first mentioned by an alchemist almost 1000 years ago but the term "vitriol" already existed to refer to some metal sulfates. "Salt" is much much older.

They don't really have a point. They have a grievance, and one that matters exactly zero. It is armchair militance at its best; it's raising a loud voice on a topic that will make no difference in the inclusion of minorities in tech. It is a stupid timewaster that undermines real social causes.
I'm in a similar position, and I don't really see any problems. Unlike you, I have accounts on these services, I just hardly ever log in and don't actively use them. I've had multiple employers tweet about my conference talks and add my twitter handle, I see that someone asked me a question on twitter 1-2 years later when I randomly decide to login. I never post on LinkedIn, and I don't really share much of anything on GitHub, because most of the work I've done in my career either was proprietary and hidden or was very much open-source but likely mediated through other parties.

At any rate, I'd say don't worry about it. I don't bother even being concerned with this, as what ultimately matters is your direct professional network and reputation. Giving talks at conferences and getting things done, being involved in interesting work, is more than sufficient to sustain and grow your career. In fact, my experience interacting with a lot of technical folks who have huge social media presences is that they have lost some of their technical skills (or maybe never had them at the level they claim) and have become mostly focused on marketing fluff. I have found that as an engineer, and now as a PM, that concentrating on substance over flash is the right approach. Flash can definitely be a way to get things too, but if there's no substance there, it's not sustainable. Social media is just an accelerator for people who know how to market themselves, but without the underlying substance it ultimately goes nowhere meaningful.

You do you, don't worry about what other folks are doing, just keep doing good work and talking about it with people you respect.
Even if it’s imperfect, a descriptive name is quite nice because at least it gives you a hint as to what the service does.

I find the comparison to cholesterol to be a bit ridiculous. Your argument seems like a case of “well technically this strategy is imperfect so we shouldn’t even try.”

With the number of comments on this post, I doubt anyone will read this, much less the OP, but I feel compelled to say:

GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR!!!

If you're noticing something wrong or different with your body, go to the doctor to rule out something medical. Then continue your investigation. A doctor wouldn't try to diagnose you based on what you've written in your original post, so I wouldn't weight too heavily the opinions of a bunch of NON-DOCTORS with zero skin in the game.
Then you can make that statement when it comes up? It's not necessary that all groups come to identical conclusions or approaches here, because all groups have their own history and traditions and relationships to other groups.

BTW how do you feel about "messianic judaism?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Judaism
The illegally cut drugs would still exist, unless the government was giving fentanyl away for free, which would probably lead to far more ODs and addicts than the current regime creates.

I live in Colorado and I guarantee you there is still a black market for weed, since they can supply it for cheaper than the legal dispensaries - paying no tax and having no testing or other health regulations allows that to happen for pretty much any product.
I feel the same about HOOD. I own some of their stock but every time I see them announce a new crypto product, investment, team, feature etc I cringe. They have coupled themselves and the success of their non crypto products tightly to the success of crypto and I wonder if there will come a time when they try to cut out crypto or if it's too late to do so. I'm holding because I'm hoping they can swing it, but it's been tough to watch because I'm a crypto bear and always have been. I love what they've done with their equity marketplace and their new retirement product seems interesting - but so long as crypto is still around stinking up the place it's hard for me to be a consumer of theirs.
My having an Apple Watch opened my eyes on how much alcohol affects my sleep, and thus everything else. Even as little as a single drink can have a disruptive effect that night. A real bender might take a couple of days for the effects to completely wear off.

Last year for unrelated reasons I wound up not drinking at all for a few weeks. All of my heart & sleep metrics were improved by large amounts. When I zoom out for the full year view it's obvious immediately when that was in the aggregate data.

In terms of how this knowledge affects my behavior? I'll still tie one on at about the same frequency. But the casual "sure why not, I'll have a beer" is gone. Whenever I'm about to consume alcohol I think about if the amount of enjoyment I'll be receiving is worth the downside & act accordingly.
I think there’s a very straightforward reason behind the connection, and deep down most parents and teachers are in agreement of what it is.
Kids are impressionable and mimic the behavior of other kids. That’s just a universal truth of childhood. Thus, kids having a new exposure to literally thousands of minor celebrities with a self-diagnosed mental condition (via the usual apps) probably has something to do with kids being more likely to self-diagnose with the same class of conditions.

Maybe someone more versed on the topic can point out where I’m wrong, but it seems very logical to me. This is mostly based on my anecdotal experience with young people who love TikTok. When you’re staring at a source of content for 3h/day+, it’s only logical that content would start to influence you.

TikTok is an enormous and mixed bag. Some kids find religion, others find communism, still others find crocheting or roller skating. Other ones fall down the rabbit hole of amateur self therapy. I think it’s hasty to cast wide judgement on social media apps as a whole, but I think it’s evident that what we watch and consume has a big effect on who we are.
You should. The thing that makes European social democracies work is that everyone is in it together and buys into the system. When you chip away at that universality—when you say that some people should be able to put their personal self interest ahead of the system—the social trust collapses.

Our au pair from Germany paid the same total tax rate on her entry level, non-university required office job back home as we paid on a mid six figure income in Maryland. That’s what makes their system work.
It's a complex deal. I think we can assume sama didn't take a bad deal.

This is all clearly just a prelude to Microsoft buying the whole company.
