This is explicitly censorship. Film censorship boards would demand cuts and sometimes reshoots of particular parts of a film before they would allow its release. Censors of literary works, when those still existed, would do the same. Cuts or rewrites of parts of a literary work that they would not otherwise allow to be published.

Puffin/Netflix are censoring the works they have acquired the rights to. They are not allowing republication of the author's original works (they hold the rights and are the only party allowed to republish). They are cutting and rewriting the original author's book for new editions. The Oxford English Dictionary defines censorship as “the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable or a threat to security”. This is censorship.
It's quite clear from the comment that 'shadowgovt supports Mozilla being a non-walled garden, which is the reason Firefox exists. No one needs a Chrome clone.
Now I’m praying Australian states will do similar, but the political push-back on limits for AirBnB’s has been huge sadly, while rents skyrocket and house prices are beyond ridiculous.
Last time I looked at claims about Florida "book bans", they were actually just hysterical overreactions to removing books from the mandatory public school curriculum - is this more of the same?

I don't really care that much about what's in school libraries, to be honest - almost no one actually gets books from there anymore. What's much more significant, at a societal level, is what publishers choose to (not) put out.
The set of responses to a request is also constrained to a non-Turing-complete declarative language.
Bingo. If you can't afford a used Metcal, you can afford a Hakko clone and Hakko tips, and if you can't afford that, there's a pretty small gradient from a $5 Harbor Freight open-loop carpet-burner to whatever else is in-between.
And then some. Brave is a polarizing project.
I have often wondered about the answer to that. Especially when people start raising the idea of returning things to the historical owners.

ChatGPT is very impressive at this type of thing. What it's less impressive at in its current incarnation is the type of imaginative play that a five year old might engage in. Of course, that doesn't mean that it won't have huge ramifications, or that within a few years it won't advance to the point where it does display a lot more of the characteristics we associate with human intelligence.

> old school liberals -like the Clintons-

Is this a joke? Or are actual "old school liberals" so "old school" now that liberals by the ten-year-old definition count as "old school"?

"Old school liberals" are people like Friedman and Mises, not the Clintons.
If those stories are allegorical or are reinterpreted in future, inspiring a new generation of anti-semites, then the vitality of the author quickly becomes irrelevant.
This is an example of confirmation bias. It overlooks all the examples in which technology works and makes improvements to people's lives. Things like airline safety and medicine have made big advances.

But I think some of the bullshit is superfluous features that do nto do anything or seem redundant. Why is there a warning if you try to turn the volume up too loud on windows? So annoying. Or McAfee being preinstalled and then annoying popups (bloatware). In that sense, I agree with the author.

Certainly don’t disagree, I’m well acquainted with the limits of the query planner. Especially when dealing with high complexity queries.

My broader point is that CTEs in Postgres are more nuanced than they appear at first blush. They’re frequently presented as simply a method of writing cleaner, more readable SQL. The fact that CTEs receive special treatment by the planner is often missed, along with the fact that two functionally identical queries, one using sub-queries, the other CTEs, can have wildly different performance characteristics.
In current American English, “female” has shifted to usually being an adjective, woman is a noun. Referring to people by noun-ing one of the adjectives that describes them is something considered reductive by a chunk of the population.

If someone is a fan of “female” as a noun: I’m not going to change your mind. I get that changing language is annoying sometimes. I’m pointing out that “female” as a noun does bother some people, “woman” only bothers people if they know it’s been changed and see it as bowing to PC pressure. Since most people don’t check the diffs from one edition to another when buying books, this is a really easy decision on the part of the publisher, who just wants to quietly make money for the most part.

This is reaching imo. Most of the candidates never even got to a point where we were talking that deeply about the languages we worked on primarily. Second to that, candidates were allowed to pick whatever language they wanted for the interviews.

This is a good way of phrasing what I haven't been able to put into succinct language. I also find it interesting when performers and writers want to choose who is allowed to enjoy their publicly available work based on whether or not values align.
Something I would add: LTSpice! Free (except for your time), but once you build up a muscle memory you find issues with parts before you order them. Just recently I used this to discover that I had missed an opamps minimum signal input voltage was V- + 2V when I was trying to amplify a 0-2.5V signal with a unipolar power supply. Playing in SPICE taught me that I need rail-to-rail opamps if I want to work with low voltages and unipolar supplies.
Yes. Look at the 1619 project. Historical revisionism is exactly what that is all about.

To be clear, we can't yet conclude that these huge flaws are due to its structure rather than the extra sensory data that we have and it doesn't. Doesn't really change your overall point, just wanted to clarify what we can and cannot conclude from the evidence, because people are far too quick to jump to conclusions after seeing the flaws.

That's not really true. Block lists can be updated via the store. The security hole is that the app might maliciously modify the content of the pages you are viewing. It doesn't need to make requests if can tell your page to send your requests to a different server.

The declarative API solves that by not allowing page modification outside of safety boundaries like deleting elements.
Truly stunning that I can read license plates on cars!
I actually agree with that entirely, and the point of my jest was just to say that we should look deeper for the important ideas, not refuse to read the book because we don't like the color of the cover.

Lispers don't feel positive about Lisp because of parentheses; change them to curly braces or brackets or ^ and $—that's really not what matters. Lisps with brackets go all the way back to the beginning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression). Indentation-based Lisps have been done too (https://readable.sourceforge.io/).

The point is an expression-based syntax that directly models the code tree, is written in the data structures of language, and is convenient for meta-programming. It's a fundamentally different approach that yields massive benefits (see my other comment in the thread if you want to hear that spelled out in more detail).

But we don't see that when we just stop at unfamiliar syntax.

Lispers have been structurally-editing code as a matter of course since at least 1970. Most of the rest of the world only got a taste of that when tree-sitter came out circa 2018 (I know I'm rounding the edges here, but the point stands). Half a century later! Why is that? It's not just curly braces vs parens—something deeper is happening here.

I do apologize if I came off rude. I'm just so frustrated at hearing this same line year after year after year from people who are missing out some of the most powerful ideas in programming because they prefer this ASCII glyph over that one. It's nothing more than parochialism.

It just makes me want to scream (perhaps uncharitably) "surely you're not a serious engineer who works on serious problems if your biggest concern while coding is which character is used to group code?!" I want tools to help me think more clearly, ways to operate at higher levels of abstraction, better concurrency semantics—surface characteristics be damned. Sure, I have my preferences about orthography, but the tail doesn't wag the dog.

Look deeper! Learn what each language has to teach you! Then keep the parts that move our craft forward and use whatever glyphs you want. But don't reject the automobile because it doesn't have handlebars.

Moreover, the things that look familiar probably have the least to teach you.

I believe we have the ability to do so much better as an industry, but it's not going to happen if we reject the unfamiliar just for being so.

Technically yes, the working class can become capitalists by just saving their money. Practically, I don’t think I need to explain why that’s a dishonest and rude suggestion, at best. Just because anyone can become a shareholder in a company that squeezes its employees dry for profit doesn’t mean that that company isn’t a weapon in the class war.

There is this one line of thought I had where giving someone a name "the christening" was an ancient spell of a type of 'possession and framing of the mind' as it enforces possessiveness and ownership over "things" vs a language and culture that never named anyone at birth. This led me to realize that it is entirely feasible, and you'd simply develop "nicknames" for every relationship on a graph. It actually becomes much more intimate and at the same time you may in fact connect 'personally' with every thing and everyone the same way you don't name your body parts.

My left hand, my right hand, and so on. Food for thought.

Then the whole thing about spirituality and ego, and how a persona is etymologically linked to mask and being an actor in a play. It starts to get a bit interesting, especially in light of a 'cosmic theater' participating in Maya on the backbone of Brahama.

Then there is the poignancy of contemplation where one realizes one cannot eliminate the ego at any point of time because every interaction is done through an act, however one does have the power to switch that mask at any time. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the biblical free will.

Perhaps at one time we did not have the ability to change our persona, ego, mask. Perhaps at one time we were subject to the same type of nightmare of hell of torture, birth, rebirth, and maybe without any memory due to a self-similar creation event of "virtualizing a universe" from another layer. Perhaps that event was similar to our moment now when the creators were in effect, parents of a new kind not knowing the consequence of their actions. Then, through the realization of what was happening over who knows how long something happened through love, and free will was enacted over the domain.

Forgive me if that is too imaginative, for some reason, it resonates more strongly than anything I've ever come across. It seems to me that the stories of old really do make sense in a technological age rather than a mythological one. After all, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistuingishable from magic. I'd like to add "or myth."
If it displays a desire to look after its own self interest, and not just in a copypasta kind of a way, that would be something to take seriously.

It's worth noting that you can use Ethernet without a full IP stack. Protocols like CoAP are specifically designed to run on a UDP-only stack (ARP/ICMP/IP/UDP) to save on code-space for tiny microcontrollers. If you only need local connectivity, raw-Ethernet messages have even less overhead.

I don't consider VSCode to be in the same family as Emacs, let alone a spiritual successor, and really this is the sole reason why.

But, full disclosure, while I've used (and use) Emacs quite a bit, I'm really a vi guy.

As to the defaults, yes, you'll want to change a bunch. But personally, I find that's no less true for VSCode or most other such beasties.
You're making a general argument against revisionism but you seem to miss the point that the specific critique of gluttony / being fat / "fat shaming" is an aspect of the current morality that is imposing itself in many corners of culture.

It is forbidden to say being fat is unhealthy, undesirable or to pathologize it at all.

Especially don't buy: old-school digital IC assortments (if they still market those) and electrolytic capacitors.

> Is the expectation that we slowly disallow insults in culture

The current equilibrium seems to be that we're on a sort of vulgar treadmill. The process goes as follows:

1. Decide that previously formal/medical/technical word like "idiot" has developed too many colloquial negative connotations.

2. Invent new formal term, like "mentally retarded", and tell people that they have to use that instead, because the old term is now considered offensive.

3. Because connotation emerges from denotation, the new term develops precisely the same colloquial negative connotations.

4. Rinse and repeat.
I'm surprised that nobody here has yet pointed out that if you have the money for the alternatives, installing new long-lived infrastructure or appliances that directly generate emissions by burning natural gas is unconscionable. Adding new renewable energy sources to an electricity grid is significantly easier than replacing ten million natural gas appliances scattered around the country. And removing all of those natural gas appliances will unambiguously have to happen in a world that takes climate change seriously.

This holds true even if your current electricity mix involves coal or other things worse than natural gas. Those plants will have to be shut down within the lifetime of your appliance or neither thing matters very much.
Real estate is priced at the margins, because it's rather illiquid. Here's an estimate, there are about 10M people living in Portugal, maybe 5M living in areas (cities, coasts) where wealthy foreigners might want to settle. Average 3 people per household, that's 1.6M homes. Housing vacancy rates in desirable areas are usually 1-3%, so maybe 15-45k available homes at any given time in desirable areas. An influx of a few thousand extra wealthy people (say 3-5k, not just Americans) in a short period of time could certainly have an impact on current vacant housing prices, which might last a good number of years (prices tend to go up quickly, and down slowly).

If it makes you feel any better, the people providing these calculations to the pilots are FAA-certified airline dispatchers. That means they've passed the same exam that airline pilots have to take, minus the flying. They may not have personal experience flying the airplane but they do have to know it inside and out. And if the dispatchers weren't running the numbers, the pilots would be running them using the same software and/or tables, so there really isn't much difference.
Please point where in my post I made this claim before making accusations.

I know for a fact that Firefox uses WebKit as a rendering engine on iOS. I'm just responding to the claim that "On iOS, Chrome is Safari" and "what they allow is reskinned versions of Safari, which is basically a way to allow Chrome and Firefox to save face and support bookmarks-syncing".

I have given one example where Firefox behaves differently than Safari on iOS, and my experience was further validated by another iOS user who had never been able to use the system until I suggested they try Firefox.

I have seen other websites that behave subtly different between the browsers. Orion is another example of a browser that behaves quite differently on iOS despite also using WebKit - which they also use on the desktop apps and those also behave differently from desktop Safari.
