Some people, yes. Not all. I would say this attitude does not correlate with intelligence/wisdom.

I don't understand what's disingenuous about this? They demonstrated that these ads can be served alonside Nazi posts, didn't they?
You have to think that Sam is simultaneously raking Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and probably 8 venture firms over the coals on how many $Bs he is going to get.
I hear you, but I fly spirit all the time with no add-ons at all. No bags, no seat selection, no wifi, no snacks. I really appreciate the low price and select Spirit over my preferred airline Southwest often for this use case.

It's not a dark pattern in my case, even if I do get annoyed those times when I actually have to fly them with bags.

This is awesome! I've been looking for new ways to meet/find developers in my area. Are you looking to add new filters? (Filter by top language, number of stars, etc). I would be really interested in helping you on this
That has nothing to do with advertisers not wanting their ads next to hate speech and nazi commentary.
Rust takes the "at least annotate all your function signatures" approach as well. It's essential for making borrow-checking tractable (for both the compiler and the programmer).
Firefox was never really good no matter what some tried to imply. It was always a bit crappy, slow, and sometimes ugly. I never understood the passion some people have for it. Sure, it had a lot of extensions but at the time where this was relevant actually using the extension would slow the browser so much it required an overkill computer to be worthwhile.

I doubt Google had any need to pay any kind of attention for Firefox to be bad. They were doing that themselves very well already.

Maybe the problem with Firefox has a lot more to do with their overpaid most likely hippie-feminist person they have as a CEO, no need to search for Google malfeasance when you have THAT type of CEO. Fairly sure she can create political bullshit out of nothing that would bring any org to failure.

I hate the modern world. So hypocrite. We go look for answers on the other side of the planet when it is right there. But you can say it, because it is not politically correct. Seriously kill me already.
> The global population growth rate is going to stall

Did you bother reading the part of "do not want a state at all"... this includes "no government" at all.

The irrational part is that enforcing something using government is impossible without government.
Facebook allows far worse, especially if it isn't in English.

Late edit: I meant "far worse" in this context to be far worse than merely supporting neo nazis, not far worse than Twitter/X. Both have lots of nastiness.

> The most common misuse I see is changing env before forking a child: nobody has to do that, execve() lets you pass arbitrary envp to the new process without changing yours.

That's pretty much never what you would want. You want to set a single variable while inheriting the rest of the existing environment. In order to do that with execve() you would have to copy the existing environment first, yuck.

And you wouldn't use setenv() before forking anyway, you would do it after forking, in the child, before exec.

> I see nothing antiquated about it.

I.. uh.. don't know what to tell you. There is nothing not antiquated about it. It could, for instance, use a sane syntax for literally anything (I think only the raw math is acceptable; everything else is crazy). It could be written in a modern language that people can easily modify. Etc.

But TikZ in particular is more of a programming language than LaTeX is and really ought to be written in something closer to Python or JS.

TikZ is great in terms of the quality of the output, but I really don't want a "toolchain" for my site. Ideally the code for the graphics would be directly inline in a markdown file. I don't want a bunch of assets that I have to keep track of.

Plus, TikZ images render their TeX themselves, so you can't have KaTeX do it. This means you lose the benefits e.g. custom macros that you use everywhere, being able to change the math inline in the document if you rename a variable or something, or having all the math on the page scale the same way.

Of course, were I writing a book, I would use LaTeX. But I'm not. The needs for a casual website are very different. In particular I want fast iteration times, including on making edits to all of the graphics, which means that having them inline is much more ergonomic.
How many countries and financial institutions will do business with someone the US government has put on a watchlist? Now consider that block chains are designed to make it easy for governments to control so even if I’m some guy in Nigeria my calculations for any transaction have to include a discount rate for the reduced number of people who will accept a transaction linked back to a sanctioned organization.

What was the exact claim that was disingenuous?

Did they show that offensive posts can be shown next to a brand? Or was it claims to the frequency with which it occurs?

The media criticism podcast Citations Needed did an interesting show[0] recently on the phrase 'the economy' that is frequently used by the media.

Basically when the media is talking about 'the economy' they aren't looking at metrics that actually affect the majority of people. Rising wages only matter if corporations aren't turning around and charging higher prices for the same or worse goods/services. Plentiful jobs only matter if they are good jobs that can pay for a good quality of life. Good healthcare/housing are impossible to get in the most parts of the US unless you make an enormous amount of money.

The metrics we hear about don't take into account the experiences of the majority of people. This Vox article seems to be falling into the same trap of citing metrics that don't matter but at least does address that "health care, child care, higher education, housing." are prohibitively expensive in the US' broken economic system.

There's certainly a difference between showing a plot such that it seems to be O(sqrt(N)) and proving that it's O(sqrt(N)).

But you're still saying O(sqrt(N)) in both of those. I think it's useful to use the term O(sqrt(N)). It's the best notation for the job.
> If US drivers had to meet the same standards as Danish drivers in order to get a license, our roads would be a lot safer.

It probably wouldn't. A VERY high proportion of the most risky drivers on US roads are already driving illegally. For example, nearly 1/3 of drivers in Mississippi are driving around without insurance.

https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-uninsure...

If people are given a choice between driving illegally and going without basic necessities, they choose the former.

A lot of people end up in this situation because they are bad drivers with bad records, and can't afford the insurance, so they drive illegally. Functionally this is no different than if they weren't able to get a drivers license. They are still on the road.

Lax licensing is not the cause of bad drivers in the US. Both the bad drivers and the lax licensing is caused by a lack of transportation availability.
Tethering doesn't always work. I've experienced numerous failures even trying to pair a Macbook to an iPhone.

Besides that:

Phones will turn off tethering if they think the connection is idle, to save battery power. iPhones are very aggressive about this when the client device is not an Apple device.

Some cell networks don't support simultaneous voice and data usage, so a phone call will kick you offline.

It adds latency.

Some network operators charge for it because they can distinguish the tethered traffic.
How does that compare to M3 Max?

Which incident are you referring to? The NSA took credit for hacking Airbus, but that's Boeing's foreign competitor—not Boeing.

https://www.economist.com/special-report/2003/06/12/airbuss-...

- "According to a European Parliament report, published in 2001, America's National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted faxes and phone calls between Airbus, Saudi Arabian Airlines and the Saudi government in early 1994. The NSA found that Airbus agents were offering bribes to a Saudi official to secure a lion's share for Airbus in modernising Saudi Arabian Airlines' fleet. The planes were in a $6 billion deal that Edouard Balladur, France's then prime minister, had hoped to clinch on a visit to see King Fahd in January 1994. He went home empty-handed."

- "James Woolsey, then director of the Central Intelligence Agency, recounted in a newspaper article in 2000 how the American government typically reacted to intelligence of this sort. “When we have caught you [Europeans]...we go to the government you're bribing and tell its officials that we don't take kindly to such corruption,” he wrote. Apparently this (and a direct sales pitch from Bill Clinton to King Fahd) swung the aircraft part of the deal Boeing's and McDonnell Douglas's way."
Many graph algorithms are designed for imperative programming. It's safe to say that functional graph programming is still in its infancy. Alga[0], a system for algebraic graphs only came out in 2017. And efficient algorithms for graphs may yet to be discovered (even something as simple as reversing a list that's both efficient and elegant only came out in 1986!)

That said, as a beginner in functional programming, it would probably be good enough if you just focus on directly translating imperative graph algorithms to functional programming. You simply solve the problem by programming at a slightly lower level of abstraction.

I don't get AI hate. It's nothing other than "technology hate".

As a web developer who started out in 2001/2002, I watched as custom web design jobs dried up, and more and more people (and ahem artists) started using online tools to create a templatised website on the cheap.

Did I throw a tantrum? Nope! I learned to do backend dev so I could make my own automation tools.

> statistically the people who buy Teslas produce more global emissions than others [...] and the class of people who can easily afford Teslas engage in a lot of environmentally damaging activities like excess consumerism, lots of traveling, etc.

This line of argument has nothing to do with Tesla or EVs. If you aim to make the case that the wealthy produce more emissions, that seems fairly clear, whether EVs exist or not.

> It's one of the reasons why despite the boom in EV adoption, global emissions are also skyrocketing with them. So EVs alone won't save this planet. In fact, according to that book, if we were to replace all ICE cars on the road with EVs, the manufacturing, materials and the mining necessarily to extract all the materials necessary for that to happen, would cause such an increase in emissions that would be catastrophicall to the planet.

> So the solution is actually less cars for earth, not more cars except Teslas instead of ICEs. It was an interesting analysys that I need to find.

Obviously, things would be better if people just stopped buying cars. Obviously, things would be better if everyone had good public transport available and dense development and didn't need cars. Obviously, things would be better if just less people existed and didn't need to be transported. None of this contributes in useful fashion to the here and now. I can go to my city development planning meetings and argue against car-oriented development and seas of parking until I'm blue in the face (and I do), but cities take generations to change. Cars, on the other hand, can be largely cycled out within a generation and a half. And like it or not, cars aren't going anywhere.

So? Musk claims to be a free speech absolutist. Is this not free speech?

It's only defamation if it's not true. It's completely obvious that the site is absolutely loaded with Nazis and trolls. Seems straightforwardly true to me. Media Matters would not have had to try very hard to cram a feed with that stuff. I don't engage with crap like this and my feed is still loaded with it.

That and Elon has been "reply guying" such material for quite some time. He either agrees with them, isn't reading the stuff he promotes, or is actually that tone deaf.

Musk also claims to be pro-free-enterprise. Doesn't that mean it's fine for companies to decide not to advertise on X if they dislike the content? These are private companies, not governments. They can advertise anywhere they want.

I'm not familiar with the tweet Musk was referencing. Exactly which immigrants? Are these Jewish immigrants? I thought this was a reference to mostly non-Jewish immigrants to Israel.
