>Equity language is just another tool to oppress people.

And absolutely everything in this World should be about someone oppressing someone else.
Not speculating whether Cramer or acquaintances of his have a stake on the stocks or not. But from what I remember from posts on WSB his advice if you'd follow through a) doesn't give very significant changes and b) rather goes in the negative direction. To me it seems it's hard to separate from noise. Of course this might be explained by stating a free money paradox. (If everyone invested...) But also it seems his advice is actually rather random and just fits an entertainment narrative at best or sales pitch at worst.
I didn't call you an anything-ist. The term is used in the studies done on these people, unless you'd rather there just not be a term at all. Whether you think it's "valid" is up to you, but we can say this about any sexual orientation. I'm sure to some people homosexuality is not "valid", and that's fine. You're allowed to have an opinion.

Arpopos the 21st century - this is actually a good point! It's a very 21st century form of attraction, isn't it? And keeping up with the times can be good.
You can say the same about society. Beyond personal relationships, for most people the rest of humanity may just as well be another force of nature.

Speaking as someone who has sold Saas into banks numerous times, "no shared tenancy" is very frequently an absolute and non-negotiable requirement.
>It is so weird, because it adds yet another layer of distance between "us" and the "normal" people.

Yeah, and those "sensitive" people also don't seem to get what normal means. It just means "how the majority is supposed to be/the baseline fully functioning state regarding X". It's not a moral judgement if one is not in the normal group regarding some ability.

>Its a weird phenomenon. The longer I watch all of this, and I also mean the gender-language-hacks, I feel like this move has added to the distance between various groups, not made it smaller.

I think the smaller distance is when groups can be relaxed and casual about language - and even joke about their differences.

This is as opposed to hostile (as back in the day regarding e.g. whites against blacks) and overcautious tip-toeing around the other group.
If its doing something with the result of the photon detectors, then yes I guess its processing the input and taking some action as a result. Bonus points if the incoming beam or light actually means something (e.g. perhaps it varies when something gets in the way). Congratulations you imagined a processor
I really liked using specflow (a cucumber equivalent) for dotnet years ago. It comes into its own when you want to quickly multiply up the cases or
build out scenarios from smaller steps. Even if you are unit testing and not using BDD it is useful. But it is
an investment, especially if you need to move exisiting tests to it. Being able to write code for a single step requires
decent decoupling through the test and tested code.
In that case I think we have to find some one-eyed man and make him king.

Maybe we can take some of the 'intellectual dark-web'figureheads and blindly follow them. They pretend to have a grasp of this scoial-construction thing.

But I'd rather like to continue searching the intellectual deep-web for a person with actual sight.
I agree. Emacs out-of-the-box is terrible, but my Doom Emacs config is all 50 lines of code. For that I get:

- IDE-like features via LSP

- The best git porcelain out there: magit. Even when I'm not using emacs, I come back to magit for code-browsing (recursive blame) and staging hunks.

- Emacs/vim's fantastic buffer/window concept, where open files are not owned by their windows. I miss this whenever I use anything else.

- project support to quickly grep across all files or jump to files

- Very mature vi keybindings, with their infinite composability

I still sometimes find that it's either too rigid or too manual at certain things, but I could say the same for CLion and VSCode. I still come back to CLion for its refactoring tool, the 3-way merge window and the debugger integration.

It is a bit messy though. It's very well done for what it is, but it's cobbled together from many disparate components. It seems that it should be possible to create the same type of experience from a simpler, more coherent system. I rarely update the base system, but when I do, I've occasionally had to google for some exotic elisp error and add a fix here or there.
I'm not sure there is such a big divide: emacs is the OS in a way (in the same way a browser is one these days) and the tools are all the extensions (including those built in). The union of all extensions is more than the sum of all the parts. The difference is that the interface between tools in emacs is usually much richer than in UNIX (for example a buffer is a more complex abstraction than a file).
> flatpak

Please no. That's hell of a solution which makes it's impossible to have consistently patched libraries (e.g.if I use flatpak I can't have all the GTK copies to be consistently patched and it makes the system unusable)
Also get a portable power station too, to deal with battery life. ... or just don't run dozens of browsers on battery-powered devices.
What's wrong with Object?
Isn't that often the fate of Cucumber(-like) projects: you start with the promise of high abstractions that the whole company can work with or reason about, you invest a bunch of time to bridge the gap to the underlying implementation, then it turns out that those business folks aren't really interested in it, so developers hold the bag, and bridging the abstraction gap becomes a cost with little benefit?
Pretty much this. You can have experience and also perform well in a system design interview. However, passing some of these rounds involves chance. Some interviewers are looking for specific answers. For example, some interviewers are looking for you to be knowledgeable about recent papers specific to the heavy-hitters problem. Or the two ways to best support lynchpin objects. It’s not so much as dropping well-known building blocks to construct a system but rather the interviewer asking you to design a system requiring specific characteristics you might not have any specialization in building.
Many "product key / serial number" schemes include things that could keep the false positives down, like specific encoding (base24 is common), and built-in checksums.

Export-Csv was introduced in PowerShell v1.0: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/...

> but it's not as simple as `ssh user@host`

It is literally that simple. Nay, simpler, because authentication is automatic and secure:

Enter-PSSession 'hostname'

Oh, I'm sorry... too verbose and readable.

etsn 'hostname'

> since bash is a collection of utilities[1] and doesn't require deep integration with the platform to function.

You're also unaware of just how elegant PowerShell's extensibility model is. It runs circles around traditional shells, because you can whip up a new "native" command in just minutes, but with features that would take a week of C programming against the Unix byte-oriented pipeline.

The first time I saw something like this, it blew my mind:

Import-Csv 'serverspec.csv' | New-VM

I wrote some spectacularly complex scripts in bash, and it always felt like digging through dirt, looking for nuggets of gold that everyone promises is there, but I just can't find it.

[1] Those utilities are hilariously inconsistent not just between each other, but between distros and even distro versions. E.g.: SSH is so easy, right? Okay, write me a script that can create a sudo-enabled user and install an SSH key for them on every popular Linux made in the last decade. Include Redhat, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, and whatever else is reasonable. Three "Linux admins" failed at this task, and I had to resort to using ChatGPT and then fixing up the result by testing it against a dozen VMs that took me a day to spin up.

I agree that Emacs commits a number of unforced errors with regard to its user experience, especially for novice users. My guess is that with some usability studies they could flatten the learning curve substantially and significantly increase their market share with only minimal burden on existing users.

Having said that, "market share" doesn't seem like a relevant metric since the community seems perfectly content being niche.
Emacs is great, but I don't advocate it anymore, even though it still has some great merits.

The main reason is that I'm concerned that we've lost ground on some very important ideas, for which we should've done a better job onboarding new techies in the last decade or two: open standards, open source, libre software, privacy, information security, etc.

There's vague stereotypes that I've seen newbies use to dismiss those ideas, bundling concern about those ideas in with "tells you that you should use Emacs" (or Vim). Which then discredits the whole basket at once.

So I'll just say it: The typical techie will probably be happier using an editor/IDE other than Emacs.

But it's important for our field and broader society that most techies learn and care about those other ideas.

Possible explanation: lambda just isn’t profitable enough.

Many workloads that are sporadic / rarely invoked gravitate to lambda.

You can go incredibly far with the type system.

If you wanna go down that rabbit hole, I'd suggest Typescript type challenges. Completely blew my mind when I came across it the first time.

When you start out with typescript you might think Omit<> and Partial<> are cool but holy hell, you can do so much more.
The usual process of signing a bunch of data is to hash it and then encrypt it with public key encryption, so the hash function is as important as the public key encryption scheme.

If the hash is weak, an attacker may be able to construct compromised data that hashes to the same hash, and the whole signature becomes worthless.
What is being meant (i presume) is that even if you are a developer of those repos, do not edit them within the host repo. Work on them separately, as if you were an independent developer, and then bump their revision as a submodule - the same you do with bumping a dependency version in your Makefile/package.json etc.
Nice I tbink that is the answer! It is for when the way you need to deal with the data is so dynamic and runtime specified that crafting out the interface/types to cast to would be painful to impossible. Data wrangling.
You’re right, this aggression and escapism reports to anxiety, which interferes with C. But personally I don’t find it worth to tolerate bad feelings (been there) or dig deeper for years (done that) only to own better things or to be at better places. Fine as it is.
"en attendant Godot" is no longer a good joke! Nice work!
I have a similar story:

When I was a child, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. This is now malady non grata: For one thing, it's been folded into autism spectrum disorder, the DSM-5 being more on the lumper end of things than previous DSMs were, and, for another, it has a checkered history, with Hans Asperger using his position as a doctor in Vienna during the Second World War to choose which children were saved and which were murdered in camps. His collaboration with the Nazis and odious views have resulted in a backlash against the diagnosis.

Later still, the very word "Autism" seems to have faded out of polite speech, with people like me being referred to as "on the spectrum" with no explicit mention of which spectrum. This is, as far as I'm concerned, a straight-up euphemism treadmill: The DSM-5's lumping of Asperger's into autism spectrum disorder is something that can be defended on its scientific merits, but moving away from any mention of autism is purely down to the word's use as an insult. OK, so be it. The treadmill rolls on.

The final point is person-first language and why I don't use it: I am an autistic person. I don't say I'm a person with autism because I can't possibly be without autism. Is someone who identifies as a man a "person with gender" or is anyone a "person with race" or "person with ethnicity"? No. Some things are fundamental enough to how we experience the world that saying we're a person with that thing, which implies we could be without it, is wrong.
>unless you'd rather there just not be a term at all...

I think "mentalist" is a pretty adequate umbrella term.
Nope. I did not made any claims about myself here.

I merley stated, that no one came to save the jews in europe, which is why they went to the death camps.

Which you are debating for some reason, along with personal insults.

I suppose because you think the jews should have been organized better and fend for themself?
Well, maybe. But they were not organized. They were in the weaker position and chased by the Nazis. In this situation, outside help is needed in my perception, but you may think whatever you want about it all. And if you can share what you think without insults, I might read it.
>Do you not think websites test into the optimal performing layouts and content distribution?

I don't think a logical positivist would have much a problem with the content (although perhaps they wouldn't like the language used). How would you go about verifying that the Mississippi does not have "agency" but a slow worm does? They'd perhaps dismiss it as a meaningless question in the context of scientific enquiry, but fine to discuss in another context (in another "language" as they might put it).

I'm actually quite curious how come not a single person, especially a child, fell into this open meatgrinder.

The reason it looked like CGI, in part, is because the engine is unexpectedly big, shiny, and COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATELY PLACED.

We usually witness such stupidity only in sci-fi, where it's all made-up, so it's OK.
Sure, I was responding to the question purposed.
Semantic versioning isn’t really usable for typed languages as the majority of fixes would be considered breaking changes.
I use vanilla Emacs for everything. For me customisation isn't what matters, it's having an editor that will never lag, requires barely any ram, and can be used over SSH on pretty much any machine.
>It's treating the people they are relabeling as children that need the kind progressives to step in and save them.

It also help give the later a role, some power over others (policing various such language and issues, using it against their enemies -out of good nature of course, sure), and sometimes, a full career...

The Complexity Halo
I've just done a back-of-the-envelope calculation about fuel costs, and the extra food you have to eat if you are cycling vs the fuel cost for the car for the same distance is in the same ballpark.

So if we also assume that during the lifetime of the vehicle the cost of fuel you'll burn will be in the same ballpark as the cost of the vehicle, then the total cost of riding the bike will only be around 50% of using a car.

Surviving Months Without a Keyboard
Have you ever considered what would happen if you couldn’t use a keyboard for several months?
Market share is not a feature that helps me. A thriving ecosystem and active development is. Emacs doesn't lack either.

Failing to implement UX fad of the moment means that you can rely on the GUI being consistent across years instead of having to relearn it every few months.

I hate that word.
Of course, 'disabled' is just the euphemism you grew up with, so it feels neutral enough.

The euphemism treadmill has a long history. At some point cripple used to be the neutral term for many kinds of disabled. It's long been deemed offensive. Similar with idiot or retard.

Give it a few decades, and all of the 'people first language' will perhaps turn into neutral and then offensive, too.

(I am writing the above dispassionately. But given the generation I grew up in, I share your sensibilities about the words. 'Disabled' feels fairly neutral to me as well, and 'idiot' or 'cripple' feel somewhat offensive.

But I recognise that this is just an artifact of exactly when in time I grew up. And old people complaining about shifts in language and culture is an even older trope than the euphemism treadmill.)

I'd guess most people are like me. Configuring text editors is not our hobby.

Ending Dependency Chaos: A Proposal for Comprehensive Function Versioning
>So your family members would have rejected the help of Schindler and co while under occupation and in direct death threat?

They would have accepted it out of necessity. Doesn't mean depending on "white knights" is desirable or effective. Didn't work out of several other million, for starters.

Even less desirable when there is no "direct death threat", and the victims are perfectly capable of having opinions and speaking for themselves, as opposed to others co-opting and/or hijacking their concerns.
It's true that the implementation model didn't change, but the conceptual model did: the new "class" thing lets people express designs containing what they call "classes" with "methods" even though what they're building is constructor functions that return objects where some of the properties are occupied by functions.

That kind of chicanery isn't unique to JS, by the way, which I mention because of the unfair malignment of JS in the original article. Smalltalk-80 syntactically has blocks, but the code in a block is just compiled into the surrounding method and the block invocation is a fancy GOTO statement.

why is it wrong to not want to offend someone

Because it's patronizing. You can use normal language without intending to offend someone, but if you actively censor your own language in their presence, you're removing their agency.
