This seems like one of those topics that seems to be eliciting some response we might consider normal if it was code switched into Bay Area or NYC speak but seems to be getting a lot of pushback because it sounds like it's coming from particular airline boosters.

What's your take on non-binary?

Here's my opinion on gender, as someone who isn't trans, and truthfully doesn't care about gender that much myself tbh:

I feel like everyone has their own idea of what it feels like to be them, how they want to present, whether their body feels comfortable and correct, how they like the sound of their voice etc.

So in that sense, it's not either: You are a woman because of biology, therefore you are (stereotypes) or the alternative you mentioned: You are (stereotypes) therefore you are a woman, but instead: I am a woman (as I define it for myself) and would like to be treated as such by the world (ie. using preferred pronouns) .

For some trans people I know, 'passing' as the other gender feels great, like they're they're finally seen as who they want to be, and for some I know, passing isnt the point. They have their own definition of their gender, one I know is on HRT but prefers to be referred to with "they/them" since they dont feel like either gender fits them.

FWIW - I agree that there's tons of stereotypes, many are very obviously harmful "a woman can't be a doctor" and many are harmful by undermining their view of themselves "a woman must wear dresses" or "a woman must be gentle", but I don't really connect what this has to do with trans people. What you're saying is basically: "a woman must have been born biologically female" and I don't really see what adding that restriction helps with.

> I'm willing to recognize that some males have an obsessive desire to be women, one that is based upon their male gaze perspective of women. This does not somehow transform them into women, and there is no good reason why actual women and girls should be expected to accommodate these males who desire to be women in female spaces.

The point is not to sneak into women's spaces, the point is that this is how they feel about themselves. They want to be a woman in every space. It means a lot to them and is an easy accommodation (just call them their preferred pronoun an honorific)

To your point on biological-women's-only spaces, this is imo. a distraction. Anti-trans people like to act like this is their one concern, and they just care about the safety of woman who might be assaulted by perverts in places where they should be safe etc.

But this is in absolutely no way the only thing anti-trans people are doing. Medical care like HRT is being restricted in lots of states, and is likely to happen federally. Places like Florida make it a crime for teachers to state their own preferred pronouns to their class. Drag shows are being banned (literally just makeup). The point is clearly to criminalize and stigmatize the idea of being trans.

And I'll ask you this: I have a trans friend who is small, has been taking HRT long enough to have all the biological markers of a woman, dresses like a woman, calls themselves a woman, has female hormones etc. should be exclusively in biologically male spaces? And while my trans masc friends happen to be more androgynous, you'd prefer for women's only spaces to feature people who look like this? https://cdn2.atlantamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/...
Improving solar panels might be nice, but the panels themselves are a cheap part of the system. And the big gains have already been made.

Solar panels are now being produced and install at gigawatt scale. Per year. (Over 400gw per year, and climbing). Capital is being supplied by individuals (rooftop) and companies (utilities).

I'm not sure what leap-frog tech you have in mind, but its not fusion.

In the 60s fusion was touted as "free energy for all". But fusion is very (very) much not "free". The cost of a fusion plant will make your eyes water. The lead-time to build it will be measured in years. The output from one plant won't move the needle (we'd need hundreds of them). Electricity from these plants will be expensive, because at the very least it'll need to generate a return to the investors. And that's before we factor in running costs which (I guess) won't be cheap.

The problem with fusion is not physics, it's economics. As long as we present fusion as a physics problem interest remains. Because once we view it as an economics problem it dies overnight.

The point is though that, at least in some jurisdictions, being so poor that you can't afford a house is now effectively illegal. Sure, the same law prevents the rich from camping outside, but that is irrelevant. The relevant thing is that there is no legal way to be homeless in those jurisdictions.

And note that cops don't have to actually arrest people in order to enforce those laws. They can simply prevent them from sleeping, endlessly.

> The ones in the center of galaxies "gobble" up gas, but most black holes aren't at the centers of galaxies.

Most black holes aren't as large as our universe, although if that theory is true we can't say much about what a typical black hole would be like in the larger universe.

It is also possible our universe ate the entire outer universe. At a certain size the black holes density is less than the universe density, at that point its event horizon will expand forever and eat the whole universe. That could happen to our universe as well. That probably wouldn't destroy the outer universe though, since entering such a large black hole doesn't rip you apart, so in a way that is a theoretical way to "exit" a black hole, although technically you make the outer universe enter it.

Edit: Back in college I intend to go into theoretical physics, but once I got to string theory etc I no longer believed in it, and continuing from there would mean I'd have to study that sort of nonsense for half a decade just to enter the field. That makes theoretical automatically turn away anyone who have alternate interpretations, so you wont find them form working physicists. I know all the math from the tested parts of GR, the rest are just untested theories, mine are as good as any there.

Even chronometer just means it passes chronometer specification, which for Swiss watches means that the movement is certified by COSC.

It does not imply a particular kind of escapement.

I have a Certina with ETA 2824-II and a Longines with ETA 2892-A2 which are inside COSC specs but not certified as chronometers.
The same applies to movie theaters and movie stars. It's more fun to watch people on YouTube talk about a movie or series than actually watching the show.
Relative to the rest of the world, Europe is pretty small. And even then, OpenSUSE being used more often in Europe doesn't mean it's more popular than the other big distros in Europe.

Besides all that though, my point was non europeneans runnin it outside of europe are doing so liekly because it's niche.

You've given some good points about OpenSUSE, but my point is there is nothing special about those points and OpenSUSE.

All the main distros are stable and handle whatever issues you think they might not. Dependency hells are no longer a thing, hardware not working, software not being available or being buggy etc. These are all solved issues on every main distro.

> but somehow openSUSE always has my back

This has to be nothing more than confirmation bias.

There's nothing really different about OpenSUSE over Ubuntu or Debian except preference. There is certainly no objective advantage outside of happiness that comes from a user using something they are familiar with.

> but the former is quite opinionated, and the latter's community version is a bit too flaky for my taste given it runs the latest and "greatest" of everything.

Just like openSUSE has variants so do these, and you can certainly find one that matches your preferences for stability and bleeding edge, or whatever else balance.
> cigarette lighter held next to petrified wood (to use an atomic bomb era analogy)

Can you, or anyone, explain the lore here? I get it's impossible to light it on fire, but what's the context? I tried searching for the expression and couldn't find anything.
I doubt it's significant. If you're not super online or in tech, it's very likely you don't know much about Musk. Millions of people own Teslas who know little to nothing about him. It's got to be a single digit percentage who don't buy because of him.
> Resonant bars were the first generation of gravitational wave detectors, period.

Well, too bad, no one in the field refers to it that way (I’m a LIGO member). Jess is pointing out how the language is used, not saying that it’s correct.
Also- it's not only trans people who feel strongly about their gender and wish their body fit it more. Cis men often wish their voices were deeper, or they had a more chiseled jawline. These are stereotypes just as much as anything else.

Cis woman get breast enhancement surgery for gender affirming reasons! It makes them feel good! But when trans women get the same exact thing, or a trans man gets chest reduction surgery, people say it's mutilation. Its the same thing for the same reason!!

Seems like cool concept, basically it's just solar furnace with extra steps - to me it is a bit nonsense that it is placed in Germany because there are far better locations on a globe like Chile with 10 times more solar energy per m2.

I am glad, however, that the idea of solar furnace is still being explored. Yesterday I was wondering if such installation could be put on a large ship vessel which would solve problem of year season. Also with our knowledge about tornado formations the ship could be put in places with max solar input.
> For me personally, better support for c#/.net.

I feel this one. Especially if you want to do anything with razor pages and/or Blazor.

It's still workable. But the experience is far from VS Code and Visual Studio sadly
How strange. So you didn't ever buy the car? You never owned it, but paid for - I assume - a percentage of its sticker price over 3 years? Then do you get a credit for a new one?
> Something burnout has taught me is that the marginal differences between one implementation detail or another are not worth getting hung up on unless they pose a real problem, especially when someone else gets to decide that doing it fast is priority (sprints).

I think this is true. And a self-imposed problem (should a problem arise) is much less frustrating to fix than one that came from a decision imposed by someone else, even if the latter avoided loads of other problems. Sometimes it's better to let people make mistakes (as you believe them to be) and correct them later.
I’m firmly convinced that any codebase written by any 4 people in the same room is better than any written by any higher number or distributed.
7750 and its clones like Sellita SW500 are some the workhorses of the watch industry. But kind of boring since they are omnipresent in chronographs. I'd prefer a chronograph with column wheel.
(Aside). To expand slightly, what robertsdionne is highlighting is the changing usage of this expression. In its original sense, e.g an issue is so important that it is impossible to overstate its importance. It is now increasingly used the other way around.

Old me would have said it’s used wrongly, but this happens all the time with language. Especially things being used in the opposite of their original sense, e.g. inflammable for flammable.
Interesting thought experiment. Going down that route, I’m going to explicitly not promote the idea of hard atheism to you. Please report back before death if you’ve eventually abandoned agnosticism or not.

I never get enough of those best air purifiers and best coffee makers articles.
I hear this all the time and have never had an issue with my wipers or found it to be "user hostile".

I'm also yet to see another EV with comparable range, price and performance in my market. The Polestar is close. Plenty hit 2/3.
I'd just love to see them keep this same energy when dealing with the actual police and end qualified immunity. They won't. But it would be the right thing to do.
Yeah I agree. Eclipse was overall a bad experience and I think most people saw it the same way so it does seem odd to reuse the brand. I mean the people involved in Eclipse obviously like Eclipse so they probably don't realise.

The thing I hated most was the workspace concept. I don't want to put all my projects in one directory or have to make a workspace just to open a project. In every other IDE you can just open a project without weird and confusing restrictions.

It also crashed quite a lot - not fully, you just get a dialog box saying there was a null pointer exception.

Also every app I've used that has been based on Eclipse has been awful. Teamcenter was probably the worst. So slow you could literally watch it drawing widgets.

The one positive I will say is that there's a state machine plugin that's really good, and it uses the Eclipse Layout Kernel which is so good at layout out diagrams that it's been ripped out of Eclipse and even converted to JavaScript.
Yes. Of course. Although you're talking now about the thing I said, and not the much vaguer thing you thought was detailed enough to believe it excluded wheelchair ramps.
The one I’m working at right now!

What made it great: the company is 7 years old, I work basically since inception, half year late.

The codebase had some serious problems due to migrating build systems, rapid team growth and lack of proper communication while developing important infrastructure tools, lack of foresight at the start of a crucial requirement for the whole system that became clear 3 years in.

Aaand… Due to unique sequence of events half a year ago we had to start everything from scratch! We could not use a line of code from the old repo !

This brought miracles out! We started designing the right things right. People started talking to each other on the global scale, without the code limiting them!

The old code not only had problems on the engineering level, but it held people and team responsibilities along suboptimal interface boundaries! This is the biggest magic! After the rewrite started, all the people in the team landed exactly where they wanted and their areas of responsibility became clear and highly efficient. Some people started shining like I could not imagine. Because their organizational and communication skills were limited by a huge suboptimal codebase.

Also, it is very empowering to design a system when your whole team has real experience 5 years into the future.
Also, everyone turned out to be caring about code simplicity and quality, I finally feel at home.

I could not wish for a better developer experience. The sexiest C++ coding time in my life :)
When exactly did this collapse occur? Because rich people have been paying for private tutors probably for thousands of years.
> IntelliJ's expensive bloatware

I am pretty sure the free Community Edition is still much better than Eclipse.
I had a bunch of very tenured teammates that didn’t really know how to use git, so there were only a few of us comfortable enough integrating and interacting with an open source dependency repo.
People talk about solar + wind with storage as leaving hypothetical fusion in the dust.

If a fusion reactor can be made practicable, then we have a clean, low-radiation power generation system that will still work in the face of nuclear / asteroid-impact / supervolcanic winter.

...granted, any of those events could take out most or all of the hypothetical reactors, but it still seems worth noting to me.
Bigger golf courses, just what we need…
NetBSD.

The docco, the culture, the clarity and simplicity of design from first principles. The coherency of code across kernel, user-space, accompagnying material. The vibe.

You may know NetBSD (if, at all) as the BSD that wants to be "portable" and may dismiss it against FreeBSD's focus-claim of "performance" and OpenBSD's focus-claim of "security". Interestingly, trying to remain wildly portable requires a cleanliness inside that is very soothing.
And stop incentivizing “innovation”. Reward people that simplify things so it’s easy to fix at 2am.
What in your linked article do you think is falsely framed or incorrect?

It doesn't seem political or polarised to report on the top selling EV with the latest available data. Are you suggesting Drive wouldn't have if it were another brand selling the most?
Some people even have many hard drives work together for capacity and reliability reasons! Storing many documents, not just entertainment!

It can be made into a pipeline where it's exactly like subscribing to a conventional service.. you just 'pay' with maintenance/curation.

No A/B testing, price hikes, or platform strong-arming. Well worth it in my opinion. Avoids all kinds of whims from publishers/co.
To support what Autoexc is saying - this is effectively an argument about the theory on one side, and the practical reality of intentionally skewed judiciaries, a grid locked and obtuse congress - which in turn is driven by groups with a common cause.

The law, in most cases, is about the practical application of an ideal (the law) to reality (the case).

If things weren’t so lopsided and blatantly partisan, then yes, the theory would matter. It would probably be a prosaic and boring decision.

This court is not only engineered to lean heavily in one direction, it is also being fed cases based on that common agenda.

In addition - we cannot avoid ambiguities unless we have powers of foresight that make the entire governing edifice irrelevant.

No one could predict the capabilities or failures of this generation of LLMs for example. There is no better “law”, unless it is an act that gets updated on a near monthly or quarterly basis.

This is a timeline that a congress is not suited to manage. This is definitely something that an agency of some sort would.

Finally - Saying that bureaucrats and experts are biased, but to leave out the bias of the courts feels unfair.
I’m a scientist who works on LIGO and next generation detectors and I don’t have a deep knowledge of the physics behind gravitational waves either! But realistically you should pick up some lecture notes on general relativity: https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/gr.html

amazing! it seems like much of the innovation on the flight deck is happening in iPad apps.

i'm curious, in the beginning, before you had so many users of the app, how did you convince pilots/airlines to install SkyPath before it had enough user-generated turbulence data for its ML model? it almost feels like a chicken-and-the-egg problem: you need enough reports before it's useful around the world at all imaginable air routes, or maybe there's enough air/wind data. interesting stuff!

I love your post, and agree to everything, except the last 2 sentences. Yes, CSV is broken beyond repair. But this doesn't make the choice of separator immaterial.

The law includes precedent.

If the court had a 50-50 split, then yes, your argument would carry merit. We can all disagree with court rulings, especially if we have experience in a domain.

Our opinions can be right or wrong. However I think everyone can agree that a skewed court will never be trusted when its majority votes along party lines.
Even JetBrains, which makes actual good IDEs, is copying VSCode with its new editor, Fleet...
