That quote is a relatively recent addition (17 Jan 2023) and isn't well-cited. A longer standing and more objective statement from the article:

> Many different, often contradictory variations of the hypothesis have existed throughout its history.[4] The strong hypothesis of linguistic relativity, now referred to as linguistic determinism, says that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories. This hypothesis was held by some of the early linguists before World War II.[3] This version is generally agreed to be false by modern linguists.[2]

The replies here are close, but not exactly right. Zip codes largely map to individual post offices. Once mail gets to the correct post office, then it will get sorted into routes for delivery.

The reason why the distinction of post offices is important is that zip codes are not required to follow state boundaries (technically, zip codes aren't an area, but a list of delivery points). In fact, there are a lot more than you'd think that span across state lines, so there may actually be a mismatch between the state for your address and the state for the post office your mail is delivered by.

Yea, we tried very hard to promote T-I-A, but we were fought on it the whole way and at the end of the day, it was part of the downfall of our business. Promoters didn't want to list their events on our site because of that. It became a friction point for them, even though at the end of the day, the math was better for them and for the end user.
I think what they are really saying is "What needs to happen to allow us to run server-side _style_, module-based JS run in the browser.

Basically the point being that the browser "version" of JS has a lot of limitations w.r.t dependency resolution and standard library usage, and that by either using a bundling tool or whatever is being proposed here you can avoid those. In that way you end up writing "server-side JS," basically NodeJS style JS, for the browser.

Major added benefit is that it allows you to use the same libraries/packages/whatever on both client and server. That's highly convenient.
Yeah. Virtually none of the suggestions OP is making are "natural" in any meaningful way. Even going for walks usually implies walking in a park, which is an invention of the past 100 years or so.

Agreed, my point on dirt roads doesn't make much sense.

But point still stands, if state govt's struggle to repave arterial roads every few years to the standards of our taxes, do we think any national gov't would shoulder paying 10,0000 times that cost yearly to maintain bleeding edge technology across 100k highway miles?

In the 19th-20th century rail/trolley was used in the same way municipal buses are now. Great for absolutely defined schedules across short distances for local residents. Do you see that scaling up to highways though? Even if we used old school powered rail and cable technology to charge up highways for big rigs only, that would be such an unfathomable, enormous cost to implement and maintain. We can't maintain the rail network in this country, which is dwarfed in size by highways.

"Avoid metaphors, which can introduce unneeded baggage." This is my favorite one from UC Irvine's language guide. Nothing better encapsulates the irony and lack of self-awareness most of these guides display.

This is clearly not actually about morality - no one in their right mind would argue that someone is racist just because they didn't know the etymology of "cakewalk". And a complete racist could follow these rules easily enough.

This seems to me that these are a set of moral grounds to punish people for having a low EQ.

None of these rules or guides are even internally consistent. What it will and has always come down to is understanding how to read a room and follow imposed social etiquette (aka, EQ - something that we know is not equally distributed!)

Whether people promoting this stuff understand it or not (I think some of them are very aware), they are going to be roping of sections of society just on the grounds of being "too impolite".

A software engineer with a background in Biomedical Engineering. I've spent the past year & half working in the healthcare technology space. I've tackled a range of tasks, from implementing voice features in React applications to configuring NGINX and setting up VMs on AWS.

One of my proudest accomplishments has been developing a Python backend that can extract clinical entities from text and summarize conversations using Large Language Models like GPT-J, GPT-3 and Macaw.

With a passion for tinkering with computers and electronics, I made the decision to transition into programming during the pandemic. Since then, I've been eager to learn, take on new challenges and expand my skillset.

I'm seeking a full-time Junior Software Engineering role, where I can continue to grow as a developer and make a meaningful impact.
It's strange how you're asking questions to make your point instead of just stating your point outright. I initially thought you genuinely didn't know so I answered you, not knowing you were simply being sarcastic instead.
As noted above, ZIP+4 uniquely identifies most (all?) US PO Boxes, so theoretically provides everything the post office needs to make the delivery.

For what it's worth, I've personally mailed an envelope addressed only to my PO Box ZIP+4 with no return address, and it worked.

Note, however, that abbreviated "addresses" of this type violate USPS's published guidelines, so they may be rejected by automated mail sorting systems and therefore delayed, or, especially in cases where discounted bulk rates apply, rejected altogether.

In other words, YMMV.
Where the term originated matters to some extent, but also where it comes from & is being used also matters. And the drive for 'Latinx' is coming from rich educated people.
This word is also an issue for screen readers that some visually impaired people rely on. The use of "x" in the end of words to signal gender neutering is a very debated topic in Portuguese-speaking forums and nowadays, most people tend to agree that it's not optimal because it's not universally intelligible.

Latin person, person from a Latin-heritage background, and such, although more verbose, are preferred.

I’ve got an interview coming up for a senior role on a UX engineering team (design system, component libraries, etc). The interview is just the standard set of backend system design and leetcode problems.

It’s a pretty big red flag to me that the skills being evaluated are so tangential to the actual job. It doesn’t give me any confidence that the people I will be working with have the skillset I consider important, or that the team and I will approach problems in a compatible way.
Spanish-speaking non-binary people are hopefully not so stupid as to conflate a lack of appetite to rewrite the entirety of Spanish grammar with a refusal to acknowledge someone's existence.
Treating minorities badly is unfortunately a timeless worldwide phenomenon. If you look at the history of tipping in the US, some states banned the practice early on too, but were eventually forced to unban it, partially because many southern states kept and fought for the practice. If you consider the circumstances that this was right after the US Civil War, and right during the heavy southern pushback against emancipation, it's not a terribly hard line to draw between wanting to keep tipping as a practice, and treating minorities bad.

And when in 1938 the federal minimum wage was established, and they made the tipped one significantly lower, it enshrined the ability to use tipping to legally discriminate in law.

> And London’s restaurants feature a level of self-effacing service that makes even this Manhattanite blush.

I believe tipping originally came to the US from the continent, with the practice being especially promoted by the British wealthy.
> Design isn't just about aesthetics.

Why dismiss aesthetics out of hand like this, equating it with vanity and ego? Aesthetics are very important to people, possibly even more so than the information on the page.
But it's the wrong approach.

The correct approach would have been through syscall blocking which is a much lower level.

> Just don't be racist

I am so sorry if this pedantic, but I think it's an important distinction to make.

Both Hispanic and Latino are not races but rather an ethnic group. The race of people who belong to the Hispanic and Latino ethnic groups varies by country and even at the individual. One can have predominately African ancestry, predominately European ancestry, or predominately indigenous ancestry, while all belong to the same ethnic group of Hispanic or Latino.

I do not bring up this point to try and detract from the legitimate discrimination and oppression that many individuals and groups in the Hispanic and Latino community face.

People of Jewish heritage belong to what is known as an ethno-religious group. The idea that "Jews are a race" was either first proposed, or at least heavily perpetuated by the Nazis, and it is still considered offensive to refer to people of Jewish heritage as belonging to a different race.

Regardless, the idea of race is a social construct with absolutely zero biological or scientific basis behind it. There is only one "race", and it's the "Human Race."

In an ideal world, we would not even need to make these distinctions because we are all Homo Sapiens -- we have no subspecies. Maybe one day we can achieve this world if we stop the pathetic, needless, and disgusting hatred for our fellow man.

If you pay your postal workers well enough that they care about their job, you don't need any formal addressing beyond getting the letter to the right person. A postal code can be enough in some cases!

Back in the day, the mailman knew how to find every house in his area. With larger cities you'll probably need more mailpeople, but there's no reason why it this system can't work today. It is working in Costa Rica, at least.

Automated systems and digital catalogues are expensive to set up and a pain to maintain. If you live in a remote village of 1000 people, a place name and a last name are often all you need to get your mail delivered. In your example, a Stirling is a town of 38k people. Names may not be enough for everyone, but house names and descriptions will certainly do the job. All the sorting facility needs to do is make sure the mail ends up in Stirling and let the mail handle itself from there!

I use it (old self hosted and cloud. Also GitLab and GitHub on a regular basis.)

BitBucket is ok.

It doesn’t have nearly the same feature set as the others. You have to bring on more of the Atlassian ecosystem to get those. The integrations with stuff like Jira and Confluence are solid of course.

The features is does have are well implemented I feel. For example, the PR review UI is great. It is almost as good as GitHub’s and worlds better than GitLab’s. It has great access control that is probably a better fit for enterprise environments than the competition (another area where GitLab is lacking IME).

BitBucket added CI/CD. I’ve used it only for one project. It got the job done, but was worse than the others.

This is the market applying a band-aid to a structural problem of low wages for service workers.

If I am at Whistler at a liquor store, I tip the cashier because I know that the cost of living there is the most expensive in the world. The housing situation is horrendous.

I wish that the minimum wage was $25/hr and we didn't have to do this, but it isn't so I tip.
But why is it so offensive? All I see is knee-jerk reactions giving supposed racist motives to the term, when it's been established that this term originated with native Spanish speakers!

I personally think that choosing 'x' was a poor choice, and it's basically unpronounceable by everyone in both Spanish and English. But making up supposed racist origins is a bit much.
They could use a scheme that allows numbering afterwards. In Brazil, houses are numbered based on how many meters they are from the start of the street (and odd/even depending on the side of the street). The start of the street is the end closest to the city center. So you can have houses be demolished, built up, with the goverment burocracy aware of it or not, but you will always be able to number the houses afterwards, and the numbers will stay consistent.
"The revised lawsuit added Wendy Jones, eBay’s former senior vice president of operations and Baugh’s direct supervisor, as a defendant. Jones asked Baugh to deal with complaints about the Steiners’ website and comments on the site, according to the lawsuit, and her failure to properly oversee Baugh was a “proximate cause” of the harassment.

The revised lawsuit also dropped the charge that the plot amounted to a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a law aimed at organized crime, while adding several charges of negligence, including that eBay was negligent in hiring, training, and supervising Baugh and the former employees who carried out the scheme."
