> t is whether comments are raised to HR, management, or for personal lawsuits. This is potentially career ending.

In some imaginary world maybe, but in practice we have many people with mountains of documented misbehavior still being in charge, so we definitely don't live in that world. First of all, very few women report even blatant misbehavior like groping, forced kisses or even rape, and then there are even fewer HR department that react properly when such reports are raised. The risk of a misunderstanding ending your career is basically null. The risk of ending a woman's career when she reports misconducts is much, much higher.

> Part of living in a society with free speech is that we sometimes say things which hurt others people's feelings.

Insulting your boss will almost always lead to you being fired, threatening a cop will get you legal troubles. Free speech is not absolute, and was never supposed to be.

> In the office today I am very careful never to be alone in a room with a woman. I don't "banter" with women because I am worried that one of my comments, however harmless in intent, will be perceived poorly.

Then you have a problem when communicating with women, and you should probably spend more time around them to learn. Yes at the beginning this will likely
mean that you'd need to weight all your words to avoid saying something inappropriate, but at the end of the day, you'd have learned how to behave

> This means my dynamic with male colleagues is different because I trust they will not attempt to end my career over a misunderstanding.

That's a pretty bad assessment, as men are much more likely to throw you under the bus at the first occasion than women, because rivalries are much more intense between people of the same sex. Being afraid of your women coworker because they could report you is as irrational as being afraid of your neighbors because they could murder your family.
I use apple cider vinegar whenever I get acid reflux. It works but often only for about an hour. Perhaps I should start doing it proactively whenever I eat. How much water do you mix it with? I just take a tablespoon of concentrated vinegar.
On graphical adventures, they got killed by Tomb Raiders and alike. Suddenly, you can kill people and solve great puzzles in detailed environments.

Oh, and games like Parasite Eve, Resident Evil... which basically merged graphical adventures, action games and RPG mechanics in a single release.

My kid uses an old school, human powered kick scooter to go to school. I offered an electric one but he was concerned with charging and reliability! That's some great engineering insight right there, I was so proud!
I was confused by this as well. Are they suggesting to run central AC with open windows?

I had a conversation with an HVAC company lately that was the first one that made any sense to me. They basically said you need strong AC with adequate circulation throughout the home so there's no big humidity or temperature differentials. So, similar to the article but without opening things up to the outside, where the humidity is coming from.

I've had trouble getting advice on stuff related to this as well. It seems most contractors don't actually know what's best and are operating under speculative theories, and/or are used to taking advantage of unchecked spending due to serious disaster involving insurance company payment.

> In the case of a woman who has a fully developed muscular system and has had ample physical exertion all through the pregnancy, as is common with all more primitive peoples, nature provides all the necessary equipment and power to have a normal and quick delivery. This is not the case, however, with more civilized Women who often do not have the opportunity to develop the muscles needed in confinement.

Ignoring the depressingly-predictable classist/colonialist tone, it's interesting to note that modern medicine recommends things like pelvic floor exercises to help with childbirth, primarily to prevent unwanted urination during childbirth and incontinence afterwards it seems.

But this observation - if correct - might lead us to conclude that certain types of exercise help the actual act of childbirth more than others.

Do we know if this has been corroborated / debunked? I'm wondering if there are any agencies out there with specific recommendations for those who are trying for a baby, for exercises that are actually proven to make childbirth quicker or less painful?

Derailleurs are hard to debug.

The rear derailleur on my cycle wasn't shifting as expected, and so I spent an afternoon following YouTube and adjusting its limit screw and barrel adjuster to no avail.

Finally gave up and took it to a shop, the mechanic took the cable out of the housing, wiped it down, greased and put it back in; the derailleur starts shifting normally.

Ah thanks! That's interesting but a bit weird to me. That response sounds a little bit like someone who feels like they shouldn't do something and is thinking on-the-fly for reasons they can use to justify that feeling.

> We don't want to complicate the language

So I can understand if this complicates the implementation but I don't know if totally optional pragmas or annotations complicates the language itself. Like C has this but I don't think people say "Ah C is alright but the pragmas are a bit confusing and make things complicated".

> experience shows that programmers are often mistaken as to whether branches are likely or not

Your average programmer may mess that up, but those who would give optimisation hints aren't quite your average programmer. And insisting on introducing PGO to your build process (so build, run-with-profile, rebuild-with-profile) for some cases where someone isn't mistaken as to whether branches are likely (or whether some loops run minimum X times, etc) feels a bit needless.

Please remember though that I'm neither a Go programmer nor contributor so I'm really just an outsider looking in, it could be that this is a total non-issue or is really low-priority.

As a thought experiment, you could probably apply enough force to assist a birth but arguably a useful amount of centrifugal force would overlap with the amount of centrifugal force that would accumulate blood away or into a baby's brain (hypoxia is a pretty severe emergency with such a small body).

Other issues I can think of:

- Catching an 'exiting' baby on a net is just lawsuit material.

"The user" on a typical website does not know how to do this.

For a user there is the benefit that they will not lose their presence on the website. Many users do not know how to navigate back.

Of course, in times long gone a new window would appear, and the pattern made even more sense than with tabs.

If you would have left out the word "always", I might have agreed that for this particular website and intended audience, it does not make much of a difference.
No, you are right, but it is functional in that it it does what it intends. It would be a challenge to make it more modern without increasing complexity and load time and probably breaking someone's favourite browser.
That doesn't mean they're meaningfully comparable (in the context we are talking about). A $100 budget android phone that was released at the same time as the latest iphone also belongs to the same generation, but that doesn't mean the chip manufacturers profit equally from the two (of course apple makes their own chips so in a literal sense this comparison doesn't make sense, but I'm sure you understand what I mean)

And I don't mean to disparage the switch, just point out that the way it's designed is very different which makes the comparison questionable

YES.

Same here. English was my third language which I absorbed mostly from Sierra games at age 9-12. I didn’t speak it with anyone until years later.

The Larry games certainly offered some interesting colorful vocabulary and cultural references which all flew over my head. The word “prophylactic” still instantly makes me visualize the shopping scene from the first game.

The funny thing about learning a language this way is that English is forever stuck as a written language in my mind. I can speak it just fine [1], but it feels somehow a bit wrong. I’m guessing medieval clergy might have had a similar relationship with Latin.

In my world "just works" means "we blew away all of the security controls and best practice to get this thing hobbling across the finish line."

I see COTS products using ldap memberof queries without LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN and stating definitively in their documentation that nested groups are bad (despite decades of best practice).

I see product documentation recommending authenticating against LDAP instead of kerberos, despite the underlying libraries having full kerberos support.

I see sslverify: no, and flags to ignore SSH TOFU warnings, and recommendations to avoid SSH gssapi-keyex (WHY?????), and security approached by buying ever more products creating ever more complexity.

Yes, things "just work" in a horrible, 'youre stuck with your vendors forever' sort of way that results in lengthy outages every 6 months due to mounting, intractable technical debt. But things don't have to be this way, you just need people who are willing to ask "why" or "is that necessary" or "can it be better".

Octopus have enormous numbers of nerve bundles in their arms, such that when you account for them, they rival humans in computing power. I think our bodies work the same way.

What's funny is that even when you're at a sports event you can end up waiting for ad time even if you're not exposed to the ads.
Ah, so it's the function call (which could just as easily have been something other than print), that forces the compiler to use a normally-less-optimal branch rather than the normally-more-optimal cmov. Only in this particular use case, cmov is actually less optimal, but the compiler doesn't know that.
Fair enough. Vilifying younger generations is a tradition that goes back to antiquity.

It’s not at all clear automaticity even exists in a way that improves your understanding of the world.

You can assume people do things because they’re basically rational with consideration for their values, which may be axiomatic and their information, which may be incomplete or wrong - or you can assume people have a head full of fuzz.
It's not an intrinsic worry and I trust myself implicitly to behave well and I always have. The problem is the changed political climate where one has to be constantly aware of what one says or to not touch or bump someone accidentally. This stops people acting naturally, especially in some types of work environments. Same I reckon would go for male schoolteachers, I often wonder how they manage these days when there's a magnifying glass on evey movement they make.
SPA vs. MPA: Why Not Both?
Truth is completely relative for the people doing the labeling.

The main things to remember is that a horrible ingredient may go by any of a dozen different names, and the ingredients too horrible to even mention can easily be swept under the rug with catch-alls such as "spices" and "artificial flavors".

In fact, that scary label on sea salt, This salt does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient. is objectively false, because sea salt usually contains plenty, but if they don't artificially add it, they're required to lie.

Scrum is an agile framework used for iterative and incremental development of projects, particularly in software development. It defines three key roles that collaborate to deliver value: The Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team.

1. Scrum Master: The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum framework is understood and applied correctly. They serve as a facilitator and coach to the team, helping them understand and implement Scrum practices, principles, and values. The Scrum Master removes any obstacles or impediments that might hinder the team's progress and fosters a collaborative and productive environment. They also facilitate Scrum events, such as daily standup meetings, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospective.

Why, yes, off course. I don't judge him for that, but certainly he's the (only?) one to blame for his "somewhat overweight" and all the health issues that might come from that.

One might argue that marketeers, big-food, TV, influencers, politicians, and whatnot also may hold blame here, e.g. by "making this man believe he wants this", but that's a whole different debate.

to be more clear, (from a quick search on the subject), vitamin D needs fat so that the body can absorb it. that doesn't mean skimmed milk with vitamin D is useless, but only as long as there is other fat coming from elsewhere at the same time (and i don't know how much time that means), so skimmed milk is simply less practical.

They're not wrong. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has been very vocal about its ideological descent into left-wing populism. He's used words like "propaganda." I used to moderate the Men's Rights page. Eventually I was blocked by some senior moderators (who also heavily moderated the Feminism page, incidentally). You can go and review the difference between those pages yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_rights_movement

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

The Men's Rights page now includes criticism of the movement in the summary section. Note how that is entirely absent in the Feminism page. Over the years they've stripped more and more useful information out of the Men's Rights page. Especially anything which portrays the movement in a positive light. Almost anything without a citation, for example. While this is technically within Wikipedia's rules, this level of scrutiny isn't applied to the Feminism page. Not even close. Take a look at the section for suicide on the Men's Rights page:

> Studies have also found an over-representation of women in attempted or incomplete suicides and men in complete suicides.

I mean, what the fuck? On a page for men's issues like suicide, the person who moderates the Feminism page added stuff about attempted suicide for women. Many other sections contain a similar tone of, "but women also..."

The real cheery on top is the byline at the very top of the article directing people elsewhere with a hyperlink. Because how dare you research a movement which isn't pro-feminist:

> Not to be confused with the pro-feminist Men's liberation movement.

You'll note no similar byline on the Feminism page, directing people to pro men's rights feminist movements.

I could go on, but you get the picture. Over the years I've heard from dozens of people who have experienced similar issues, and have either been blocked, banned, or constructively cut out of moderating the pages they've been passionate about for so many years. ALL of them cite the same reason: ideology. Wikipedia long ago abandoned truth. Ideological compliance is now baked into the complex moderation structure. You would be horrified to learn how much is deleted and suppressed now. Just take a look through the moderation logs of any politically contentious pages for a seriously eye opening experience.
