>I do still think that the men/women bias and the Democrat/Republican bias both make more sense as originating in moderators favoring one group over the other, since none of these are typically used as an insult by themselves.

They may not be used as insults themselves, but they are used more in hate speech.

Republicans are generally more opposed to the idea of "hate speech" as a category of speech and are therefore less likely to identify any speech as hate speech. Democrats have embraced it more as a concept, are more likely to label something as hate speech, and are more likely to think that type of speech is bad. It therefore seems likely that Democrats would use what a neutral observer would categorize as hate speech less than Republicans due to self-censorship. That would result in the word "Republicans" appearing in hate speech less often than "Democrats" because the hate speech infused insults will be targeting the opposite party.
A recent update showed it's moving more towards the center, which gives me some hope that they're trying to make it more objective:

I know it's not the same, but the implication is that an influx of effectively unlimited content will change the equation for consumers. I don't think it will: even in the world of human-written books, human-made TV, human-streamed Twitch, content is already effectively infinite, and already almost entirely garbage.

So true and very well put.

I often tell people that a child takes up an infinite amount of time and resources.

But one counterpoint on divorce. If you can manage to do it well, split custody, and continue to co-parent effectively, then you get to be a devoted parent spending every waking moment and spare penny taking care of your kids… for half of the time. And then you get to spend the other half of your time as a single adult.

It’s not a sales pitch, and I think in most cases it doesn’t work out so well, but getting divorced and equally sharing the children has been world-changing for me in terms of balance and getting time to focus on myself and fulfill my own dreams in terms of travel, hobbies, bucket list, etc.

In our case there was never any extended family who would ever take the kids, which is another thing that’s becoming more common. So basically from Day 1 until off to college you are providing full-time child rearing, which can be quite the crucible.
This isn't a uniquely Francophone issue in Canada. I'm in Metro Vancouver and every immigrant ethnic group does this same thing. My manager had to pull someone off of our hiring panel because he literally said "I need to support people from my village in India to help them get a better life. I'm only going to support hiring them."

People hire from their own network. If you were educated outside of Canada or have religious groups or other common cultural groups, then you'll tap into that network to hire. I've worked at companies with less than 100 people to companies with more than 10,000 people and team composition tends towards the manager's background.
What value did CPS add there?
Unfortunately causes Firefox to crash on aarch64-linux with a Qualcomm SoC!
I know. It's a thought experiment to show that even in unrealistically optimistic conditions, technology is still not sufficient to solve the problem. I intentionally ignored the societal component of adoption for this reason, showing that it makes no difference.
No, for a couple of reasons. Primarily the services rendered (i.e. the data in the packages) are not "normally for remuneration" (i.e. nobody is paying to access them specifically).

EU law is cloudier on whether a copyright license constitutes a contract. Under common law there has to be consideration for a contract. Not all EU member states require that, but enough do that I think they'd leave it alone.
IMO, your hypothetical falls apart at the second point:

> Now gov mandate that all hardware must have have backdoors to circumvent those measures.

A government could legislate that it may not rain anywhere in the country on Tuesdays, but executing that isn't practicable. Likewise, backdooring one family of CPUs may be possible, but you can't simply tell chip fabs to backdoor each and every design. They'd grind to a halt in order to comply.

And I want to say that there exists provably un-backdoor-able "zero-knowledge" computing, something like Ethereum's smart contract ISA, but I may be misremembering.

In the end, our governments are democratic, we elect politicians to represent our will. They shouldn't be pushing for things like backdoors at all when no citizens are in favour. So yes,

> [...] we must push back against policies like this to prevent erosion of our values, do not "give them an inch" so to speak.

I agree that China is currently, to continue your metaphor, winning the fight against privacy—but only because using the government-friendly superapps is necessary for everyday life, and not because they've blocked the likes of Tor.

> Talking to people is an underrated technique to stop worrying

For me this is really true. I'm more of an introvert, and I don't usually reach out to others very often. It can be in the form of talk therapy in a formal setting with an actual psychologist. It can also just be catching up with a friend, or chatting with a neighbor about something totally unrelated. Anything that can get me outside of my own mind helps. Looking for opportunities to help or become involved in someone else's life is really helpful.

It's like this in a lot of companies. At FAANG you are probably more lucky because at least most juniors are smart. In general I don't know how to navigate this well. You don't want to be the old guy that constantly dictates things to be done in old ways. But you also can't let them go completely wild with their ideas and have disaster strike later. Onboarding one or two new guys into a team is fine but teams with a majority of newbies are just difficult.

A major problem I have seen in the last years is that the young guys seem to have a preference for super complex systems. Everything needs a http API, Kubernetes, Microservices, multiple repos and complex build pipelines even when a simple server with a database would be just fine.
Looks like they laid off whole team responsible for spam filtering in GMail.
Clear out what your obligations are with your management.

I've been in positions as a senior software engineer where it's my job to carve up projects and have make sure juniors can get things done. That means checking in with them, make sure they understand stuff, make sure quality is high, and ensure they're not getting blocked. Your management looks to you get the project done. You are not measured by your IC but by your ability to force-multiply to knock out projects.

In these situations, your individual IC contributions go down, but you effectively get to claim delivery of the project under your belt based on ensuring delivery success. (It may be critical in these situations to track how you made that happen.)
Are these sales numbers or how much they make after everyone else gets their cut? Is that what they mean by "taxes"? Steam takes 30%. The publisher can easily take 50%, but they may have negotiated better terms due to the funds they put in on their own and that it's an existing game.

Google has gotten progressively worse year in year out. Its promoting farmed content of stackoverflow posts riddled with ads over the actual posts. It's making money that way sure but at the dismay if it's users. This I think opens up the space for more niche search engines that actually work for what you're looking for. I'd take a search based off of only indexing sites I actually care about over the dribble it's peddling any day. Bring on the competition

There are boatloads of laws in any democracy that would never survive a referendum. This law is one example.

Let's face facts here: 90% of the aim is to make policing cheaper and more pervasive. To make it possible for algorithms to police people, because then those algorithms can replace attention by police officers. Even most police officers themselves wouldn't agree to that.
Conflating privacy stripping laws with paedophilia protection is something I'd happily deconstruct, whether in front of a camera or otherwise. It's not difficult to show with logic how one doesn't help the other, and I could even go as far as showing how the laws make things worse.

But this means the vast majority of C code isn't portable since you can't know what it will do with a given platform and compiler combination and the presence of even a single line of UBI invalidates the whole program.

It basically means that the whole portability argument that is supposed to be in favor of C is just wrong because every compiler and platform actually brings its own C dialect and it is just sheer coincidence that it works at all.
I have a vivid memory of playing Doom 2 on a 486 in the 90's, hiding in a building with a cyberdemon circling around the outside, and being able to tell exactly where he was based on sound alone. Needless to say Doom produced no more than 2 channels of audio.

Interestingly Doom's audio code was licensed from a third party. When they open sourced it, they had to rewrite that part; I think Carmack said he backported Quake's code. I wonder if that third-party code was just really good or something.
> And for everyone who is crying about the popular vote, there is a very good reason we don't do that. It was recognized from the start that if you do a strict popular vote. the more populous and wealthy areas would always call the shots and would dictate politics to the rest of the nation. At the time that meant Virginia. But it doesn't really matter who, the principle still holds. This was a compromise between populous areas and rural areas in order to get the union formed.

The original intention was not this bloc-voting crap. The idea was that a state would select some trusted, wise, and ideally educated, locals to go get a look at the candidates and vote on their behalf, since expecting everyone in a whole country the size of the US to get any meaningful sense of the candidates, or to understand many of the relevant issues in order to make an informed choice, was obviously crazy in a time before broadcast (and still is, actually; broadcast barely even helped with the core problem of most folks—justifiably!—knowing almost nothing about the things a head of state deals with).

This broke down instantly, as electors began pre-declaring for candidates. But we kept the system, which, while a half-decent (if hopelessly poorly-implemented) idea originally, is now simply very bad—we get all the noisy, absurd national campaigning but most of us don't get a meaningful say in the election, anyway.

I think butlerm was saying that dereferencing a null pointer has system-defined semantics in machine code, and that C should inherit those semantics.

> If you dereference it, you have a bug no matter what the manifestation on a specific system is.

Sure, if you dereference a null pointer you have a bug. But all sufficiently large programs have bugs, and what happens after you trigger the bug is important. The closer the machine code matches your C code, the more likely you are to be able to diagnose the problem from its symptoms.
> ...even if that something is just the status quo of daily life.

That is it, and maybe an attempt to keep the news from being a selective display of only bad things, creating the misleading impression that the world is a grimdark shitshow where nothing good ever happens.

> And that is also why when it's feel-good stories about the police, it feels particularly insidious; As though the stories are trying to distract from all the horrible things police do. As the meme goes, no one ever wrote a song called 'Fuck the Firefighters'

And that's distorted thinking. Dislike of the police is causing people to believe and peddle false conspiracy theories to express that dislike.

It's pretty clear that what's really is when ducklings get saved by anyone, some fraction of the time a local journalist with column inches to fill writes a fun story according to an established template.

I know Rust is a systems programming language, but I've been playing with it for some time writing high-level stuff like REST/GraphQL APIs, websockets and web backends in general. And I have to admit it is a breath of fresh air.

No crazy enforced OOP with a gazillion classes and inheritance, no non-sense design patterns just because the language enforces you to use OOP for everything, an amazing type system, no null pointer exceptions, great compiler error messages and so on...

Of course there are problems, like any other language, but it is crazy how it as a systems programming language is so good at expressing domain logic.

Java has a much bigger ecosystem, but judging JUST by the language design, I'd pick Rust over Java without thinking twice.
> That chatGPT doesn't even know when it's wrong is why this is a problem.

Have you never had a conversation with someone about a topic which they know nothing about, and they say/ask something that is wrong/stupid, but it still raises some question(s) you haven't thought about before?

I kind of think of ChatGPT like that, a dumb friend that is mostly dumb, but sometimes makes my brain pull in a direction I haven't previously explored.
Again, I agree with everything you are saying in your edit. It's just not what my CPA is saying the actual tax code says anymore.

Honestly my main reason for starting this discussion was a) to see if anyone else's professional advice (e.g. from a CPA) was different, and b) to hopefully drum up awareness so maybe in some roundabout fashion this gets changed.
The curator being bandwidth-limited is not necessarily a problem if the problem you are solving is an overwhelmed audience in need of a curator. In other words, the Archive missing things may not really be a problem if the stuff is not missing is on average of value.

It raises the issue of governance of the curator, but the IA is already more transparent than Goole & co.

There is an economic incentive to build it this way - for all the legal, and illegal applications it may be used. Movies can make stunts look more like the actors they portray more easily (this has existed for decades now), you can pay Tom Cruise to use his likeness on a publicity campaign without having to pay for his time. You can change your face, or your body, so you are not recognized.

It's a virtual certainty that a technology that can have a commercial application will be developed. I can't imagine a plausible path departing from this present where it isn't.

Neither of us were there. There are people who genuinely believe in this kind of safety of children.

I've read other articles like this before, and I happen to agree with this author and what this author advocating for. This goes beyond whether parents have the right to let kids go and walk on their own. It has a lot more to do about raising kids that can gain gain the kind of resiliency, grit, self-confidence, independent-thinking from being able to do stuff on their own. My kids will need to be able to do that when they grow into adults, because I am not always going to be there to be their safety net. One day, I will die, and it is their turn to make choices, to vote, to navigate their own lives, and to help raise the next generation.

So besides just advocating for changes in laws, there is a lot more to this kind of parenting than being protected by law to do so, including methods for parent this way when the laws in ones jurisdiction are not necessarily supporting this kind of parenting.
Why should developing the feel of an app be any different than the feel of a game. That’s what good apps are like. It’s like you can play a good app as much as you use it. All good tools and instruments in history have been crafted like this.
Which is a different situation than the one with developing some technology. If someone develops faceswap, and then someone else develops it too, we won't have twice the amount of faceswap-badness.

I was sceptical reading it but I found the smoking gun to be the following: "she waited three years to let her go for another walk unsupervised". So not only is it anonymised with no information from police/social, but it's supposedly also a several years old case which makes it nearly impossible to verify. But I guess it will get people going.
I’m sorry but that’s just excusing the police at this point. He said that he would arrest and take away their kids if the wife dared to speak to him again.

Whatever his intentions behind that statement, that’s what someone on a power trip would say. Not in any way caring about the content, just the utterance of another word would have caused her arrest and the kids taken away.

Forgetting the fact that someone was already arrested as is. For this.

This is prime epitome of a power trip and it amazes me to see someone try to defend it as anything but.
I highly recommend the book 'Dare to Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks' (https://www.amazon.com/Dare-Anxiety-Stop-Panic-Attacks/dp/09...).

It emphasizes accepting and allowing feelings of anxiety instead of actively resisting them, breaking the cycle in which worry about worsening anxiety only leads to its intensification.
True, but that'd be obvious. For a lot of use cases the point would be to do it without being detected.
I think it’s a terrible move to kill the stuff like postybirb that a lot of people use to make posts on multiple websites at once. they’ll have to either change their workflow to make a tweet (annoying) or just abandon twitter altogether. just makes the website worse for practically no benefit.

I believe a big chunk of the homelessness today were people who were able to sustain themselves with ad-hoc labor and housing arrangements . Though they’re not comfortable holding down a 9-5 (blue or white collar) , they could pick up an ad-hoc job as needed until their next transition.

We’ve replaced a once diverse and diffused economy with a “all or nothing” labor workplace. Either you are “in the system” working full time or multiple part-time gigs, on assistance, or on the streets. There’s no real room for transients, hippies, hobos and the like to sustain themselves as they had.
