"Dictating to trans people about _how they get to live_ is the process of saying they can't co-exist in this world. It is the insinuation that they are _separate but equal_."

This isn't about "how they get to live". For instance, if a male wants to dress in clothing designed for female wearers and adopt a name more commonly used by women and girls then the vast majority of people will live and let live, and happily co-exist. It's not a problem.

However it becomes a problem when encroaching on the rights of others. The female category in sports is a great example because exclusion of males is the entire rationale, as this provides women and girls with a competitive space that is fairer and safer than if it is mixed-sex. Allowing males into the category - which effectively destroys it - has a negative impact on female athletes. So of course there is going to be opposition to this.

"This moral outrage has now led to invasive 'tests' women have to go through before they participate in multiple sports at an international level. This outrage has caused a proliferation of false claims lodged against women who just, simply do well in sports and don't fall within the very subjectively defined 'gender identity'."

Screening for sex can be done with a cheek swab. This is vastly less invasive than the anti-doping tests athletes must take, which involves having blood taken and urinating in a cup while someone watches.

"For example, what Imane Khelif went through is a damned outrage. Has this author taken responsibility of what their rhetoric might mean to so called 'real women' that he's claiming to be so supportive of?"

There's a significant amount of evidence that indicates Imane Khelif is actually male, with the athletic advantage that brings.

"Language is a living and breathing thing. The meanings of words change over time."

Right, but going back to the above point, if we can't use words like "man", "boy" or "male" to describe the category of people who are definitionally excluded from the female category of sports without being shut down and complained at, then how can anyone make the case for women's sports to those who disagree? Or indeed any aspect of anything relating to women.

Perhaps that's the point - attempting to make it "bigoted" and "transphobic" to argue in favor of women's and girls' sex-based rights, rather than presenting any rational argument for taking them away.

Anyway I think this shows quite clearly that your analogy doesn't fit when one digs into the detail. None of the above is anything like the struggle for racial equality.
I'm finding F# to be even closer because it has HM type inference, discriminated unions (note they are not as layout-efficient as Rust's, it is better in F# 9 though), is fully expression oriented and overall a quite terse language (Rust isn't really terse but can be made so in some cases).

It's worse at dealing with ref structs so C# is better for some low-level tasks. But it has other niceties like IL-level function and lambda inlining.
In a recent interview he said where he was saying they are 2-4 years behind, with these o1-like releases he thinks he was wrong on that and they are now only one year behind. And I think that was after the earlier non-open one from China and not knowing about this one yet. I've heard mixed things on whether this one is even more capable than that earlier one from a week or two ago, but sounds like it is pretty close.
You have to understand, the media companies don't give a shit about the logic, in fact I'm sure a lot of the people pushing the litigation probably see the absurdity of it. This is a business turf war, the stated litigation is whatever excuse they can find to try and go on the offensive against someone they see as a potential threat. The pro copyright group (big media) sees the writing on the wall, that they're about to get dunked on by big tech, and they're thrashing and screaming because $$$.
You need to write a Jira ticket for that!
> so the word doesn't lose all meaning in the future

The English language doesn’t have a central body that decides what words get to exist, and what they mean, like e.g. the French.

English dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. The definitions are defined by popular culture, rather than a central body.

What is needed is a large enough mass of people to recognise a word as having a particular definition, in order to change/add that definition. See “literally” having a definition of “for emphasis, not literally” as a prime example of the wisdom of crowds.

> What’s the famous Cardinal Richeleu quote?

Among other things in my past, something a colleague reminded me of as we were going through special training, since the work we were doing had specific training and guidelines for communications, on top of the normal training and guidelines for communications, due to our team working on specifically 'compliance' oriented modules.

Ironically, it did not impact the teams ability to raise concerns or deal with bugs/etc. It was primarily about being clear about messaging in certain contexts, and it wasn't hard to deal with.

> I responded only because “corporations bad” is a mind virus deeply inculcated in a lot of people here,

I'd argue more people are unhappy with the way your typical modern corporation is run, speaking of...

> but those same people mostly would never think that just because something you said could be used against you in court that you did something either morally wrong or illegal

It would be interesting to ask what subset of those people have had to give all their social media account info on application/hire to the job so that HR can keep tabs on them...

I got ahead of myself here, just a bit. Let's go back to:

> the idea that if something you said could be used against you in court you must have done something wrong (the only thing to which I was responding) is not one.

Hard to say based on the muddling of the 'you' here.

Is the 'you' in this statement something the company did? Something you did under (potentially ever-implicit) duress of losing employment? It's hard to respond accurately without knowing the context.

> There are very many non-nefarious, completely legal reasons one might not want a work communication to be visible down the line, just as with personal.

Yeah but at the same time all parties need to protect themselves, and that includes the corporation. As a realistic example, a business may need to retain Teams conversations for an extended period of time, for instance if someone decides to file some sort of EEOC or Harassment claim down the line. If the claiming employee is pulling messages out of context, the full history may aid the defense of the business.

Yet, if the business retains those conversations, they cannot hide them on subpoena.

And, having dealt with more than one attempt at 'character assassination' I can say I'm glad I live in a one-party consent state for recording.

> If someone can’t see that their thinking is cloudy and I bet they experience cognitive dissonance.

Nope I just know to stand by what I say. I've had some managers that don't appreciate the 'level of detail' I include in certain emails, but 90% of those are clowns that were looking for me to, shock, shock, not have enough context to a statement so they could fire or ostracize me by, as you say, 'six words out of context'. At least if I give the full context with the communication, I can point at that and they look like an idiot instead of getting rid of the person politely trying to steer them away from incompetence.
You will generally only stall indefinitely if you are waiting for new data. So, you will actually handle almost every use case if your blocking read/wait also respects the timeout and does the flush on your behalf. Basically, do it synchronously at the top of your event loop and you will handle almost every case.

You could also relax the guarantee and set a timeout that is only checked during your next write. This still allows unbounded latency, but as long as you do one more write it will flush.

If neither of these work, then your program issues a write and then gets into a unbounded or unreasonably long loop/computation. At which point you can manually flush what is likely the last write your program is every going to make which would be a trivial overhead since that is a single write compared to a ridiculously long computation. That or you probably have bigger problems.
> Ping-pong with comments like "add empty line" is a waste of time for everyone.

And any manager that lets it happen without severe reprimands to the time-waster isn't worth working for.

We've all got way more important things to be spending our time on.
This feels like an oversimplification of their priorities. Many right wing politicians are pro-deregulation. Trump also ran /did act on deregulation (or weakening) of certain agencies in his first term as well.

I think it’s moreso during hard economic times. Telling constituents youre going to “axe wasteful government spending” is a very viable strategy for winning elections.
Banking regulators definitely would get involved, but you'd have to do some research on who you'd complain to first. For example, with national banks, you would first file a complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency: https://www.consumer-action.org/links/articles/office_of_com...

But, in all cases, there is a clear process to ensure no money goes missing, either through fraud, mistakes or insolvency. Banks require the blessings of their regulators to operate, so they are highly incentivized to ensure all of their accounting is accurate. With fintechs no such regulatory framework exists (at least not yet).
Red flag #1: "fact checking" terminology - Orwellian as it gets, usually at best a counterargument, and at worst outright propaganda or lies.

Red flag #2: Who are these people, their claims, and their experience on the subject matter? Marc Andreessen and Brian Armstrong, or "L0la L33tz". Hmm.

Counterarguments are important, but let's not pretend they're anything more than that.

1. They might be a good worker, but a bad fit for their role. That’s as much on the hiring manager as the employee.

2. People, even lousy workers, talk. Treating people with respect on their way out may decrease the person’s negativity/bitterness. Consider it a marketing expense.

3. Severance packages come with legal releases attached, at least in the US. Less risk of lawsuits, frivolous or otherwise.

You can simplify the 2x sqrts as sqrt(a*b), overall less operations so perhaps more accurate. It would also let you get rid of the funky lane swivels.

As this would only use 1 lane, perhaps if you have multiple of these to normalize, you could vectorize it.
It's actually the opposite of what you're saying. I can 100% legally do all the things that they're suing OpenAI for. Their whole argument is that the rules should be different when a machine does it than a human.
Was listening to a podcast where the interviewee talked about this problem in aerospace. We are quickly approaching a point in the industry where Boeing for example won't have anyone left that has been part of a clean-sheet design and production assembly line for a new passenger jet.

The state holds a lot of power in Singapore, it's very authoritarian. Sounds quite at odds to Milei and his libertarian idology.
Spotify has enabled fabulous and powerful music discovery experiences for me. For sure it's not perfect and there are many ways to discover music - I'm really glad that you and others are working on new ideas in this space. But I reckon it will be hard to compete with Spotify's algorithmic playlisting expertise and resources.

It would be nice if Spotify added some deeper playlisting functionality tools to give users a bit more control.

However, for me, algorithms are just tools and the best 'radio' will always come from DJs and other humans making mixes and music programs.
I think one hangup for a lot of people here is that they picture the mechanics as having to be something like "the CIA groomed Frankfurt School writers as witting agents from birth" when in reality, it's more like these guys were just selected from the huge menu of takes vendors as having the correctly calibrated mix of left wing appeal and non- or anti-revolutionary compatibility.

I agree with what you say, but it's funny that I can't tell if we have the same reasoning :)

Their supporters don't know or care much about economics but sure like a brash-sounding contrarian strongman leader who appeals to their insecurities. They don't mind a touch of the 'ascism since the leopard surly won't be coming for their sort of face.
Actually, implementing vector layers and a shape tool is my next planned project after 3.0, so we'll hopefully get that first. :)

I've worked on 21+ year old issues, so I'm well aware of longstanding requests. For instance, I helped to implement built-in editable text outline options - another commonly searched for question about GIMP. The time we spent on that could have been spent on a number of other issues, and fixing each of those issues would have saved time for some users and annoyed others who'd prefer we'd work on something else.

Feedback from more users is always good, and I have watched Photoshop users work with GIMP. The immediate sticking points from those people were multi-selection, NDE, and a full CMYK mode - the text tool wasn't as big of a deal to those particular users as it is for you. That doesn't mean we don't want to make the UX better there, just that certain features are not equally important to everyone.
I don't know about you but my friends don't tell me that Joe Schmoe of Reuters published a report that said XYZ copyright XXXX. They say "XYZ happened."

This is still a bit spun though. Median income has risen even faster!

Some quick unverified googling says that in 1950 US Median income was $3300, and that inflation since 1950 has been a 10.89x increase. US median income today is $80k.

So indeed, housing has gotten a lot more expensive in real terms. But we've all gotten richer, and on average A US Household is spending less of its income on housing today than in 1950, not more.

California, it's true, is sort of out of control. But that's clearly a local thing in two metro areas, not a problem with the economy as a whole.

You don't need to actively lock a Tesla, just walk away. It will lock itself as soon as it realizes you're no longer next to it.

Yes, this took some getting used to (what if it doesn't realize I'm gone?), but in several years of Tesla ownership it has failed to lock precisely zero times. And now I regularly forget to lock non-Tesla rentals.
It's almost as if supply has increased slower than demand.
We know that England and France would have crushed Hitler in 1937.

I think PRs are also the wrong place to litigate any of this.

Requirements, specs, architecture, etc sure.

But most systems I've worked on that were especially BAD were that way not because of some PR-reviewable syntax or style, but because the whole foundation was wrong.

The most idiomatic, consistent, linted, unit-tested, etc code in the world doesn't matter that much if the underlying architecture is a mess.
Would be useful to see the cost of just the land as well if thats possible. As others have pointed out, the size and feature expectation inflation has to be factored in here. The little "wartime 4" I grew up in north of Toronto was smaller than a lot of "garage-ma-halls" these days and didn't really have insulation. It was a regular feature in winters to get ice on the living room window. My "modest" (by today's standards) house would be a rich persons place in the 70s.
There are also plausibly some guardrails resulting from oversight by three letter agencies.

I don't take everything Marc Andreessen said in his recent interview with Joe Rogan at face value, but I don't dismiss any of it either.

That's also why I dislike it: The mind that will go apeshit over trivial style nonsense will still provide unhelpful feedback on other topics... but it will become far less obvious that their comments should be downgraded.

Formatters also do a poor job if your language is flexible and expressive. Great for go, but if your language is the kind that easily supports internal DSLs, formatters are not even helpful at making the code regular

Assessing the attack complexity of a race condition security vulnerability
I live out in the country. Not quite "wilds" but it's about a 45 minute drive to the nearest walmart and we drink water out of a well. It's remote enough that only a few cars drive by a month.

I've also found that the animals behave differently out here, or appear to anyhow. Maybe it's just there's more sensory room to notice the differences. There's a family of small furry rodents that greet me a few feet away from the porch every morning. Birdsong also has a load of hidden complexity to it I've never noticed. Go outside every day and listen to the songs. There's persistence, modification proposals and consensus reaching among birds over days and weeks. I don't know a thing about birds, but it's clear there's a lot of fascinating stuff happening among them.

We have an "armadillo buddy" that lives under the cabin. Clouds of bats swarm between the trees at night and coyotes howl at the moon. There's got to be dozens of rabbits. They'll let you walk right up to them before they run off. Once had to wait for a family of 10 cross the gravel driveway on our way home. Another time there was a large cougar just chilling in the yard.

Having never lived in a rural area until my 30's, it's wild how much activity there is and how close it is to us.

How much of this is because nature doesn't have to work as hard to survive around our cabin, and how much is just being able to notice it? It's a mix for sure.
So edgy!
Those were because of non-redundant critical sensor and poor communication, not so much because of over-automation.
I think it's rational if a bit cold.

Subreplacement level fertility is bound to bound to bite you. We don't know of any way to turn subreplacement country (fertility rate < 2.1) into a above replacement country (fertility rate >= 2.1). Just how to mitigate it (immigration). Eventually pools of high fertility will run dry.

Some think that it depends on replacing individualism with some form of collectivism. Some think it's related to hope for future. It's very hard to do any comparison.
That's impossible to square. As the article points out, his drastic spending cuts and embrace of free trade are basically the radical opposite of where the US is going. Protectionism and industrial policy seem to now be consensus.

Milei is the closest thing the world has gotten to Milton Friedman style politics in the last few decades and the American right now looks more like what in Britain or Canada you'd call a Red Tory, i.e. paternalistic conservatism. People like Michael Lind who try to give this an intellectual underpinning are explicit critics of libertarianism.
That is easy:

1. bigger houses

2. a lot more equipment in it: electricity, plumbing, AC

3. zoning restrictions reducing supply to increase the value of existing houses; owners benefit from that, local government benefits even more from higher property taxes and also from permitting taxes

4. increase of demand due to different factors, like lifestyle changes (back then almost nobody lived on their own in a house, single people were very rare by comparison), unequally distributed immigration and internal migration to some cities)

5. very different and more expensive safety requirements for new houses

6. more expensive workforce building the houses

7. huge reduction in self-building houses and price gouging by the developers

and more
You are right. I've been looking at MacBook with M4.
What these analyses normally miss:

- Building codes have changed. Things are much safer now than in the past. The chance of dying in a fire has decreased 1/4 since 1950 [1].

- Houses are much bigger. Houses have almost tripled in size [2].

- Quality of finishes have increased. People will probably debate me on this because things have generally gotten cheaper over time but that means that the expectation for a house now is quartz countertops and not vinyl.

- Desirability has changed. For example, the number of sports teams have tripled since 1950.

None of the above, the disconnect is that median income has risen (much) faster than inflation in the last seven decades. See my comment elsewhere. The whole post is an exercise in failing to recognize confounding variables.

Passive-aggressive minefield. Someone will see a change done to THEIR code, without the changer even asking, and it will feel like the person who did it is a passive aggressive dickhead. Resentment will brew, tempers will be lost. It will only get worse from there. Software engineers already aren't exactly known for their humbleness and ability to swallow their ego.
Add the current price to that list too, and compare it before buying.

If the discount is fake, delay buying into March or something like that. Prices tend to fall in January/February.

I personally don't do that. But I see people doing it with a good amount of success.
