I'm gonna keep using the term.

Part of me wonders about master vs main and if anyone was actually offended by the term.

Or did a small group of people get offended on the behalf of others?
> They should have surrendered on day 1. That would have gotten them a bad deal but not so many people dying.

No, many more would have died. It's not even a speculation at this point, but a reasonable conclusion that is solidly grounded in facts. Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea put up little resistance in 2014 and that didn't save them. Their male population was forcibly conscripted to fight against Ukraine and has been decimated by the deliberately wasteful way they were used. Russia hit three bird with one stone: a) physically got rid of Ukrainians, Tatars and other people loyal to Ukraine, b) reduced the number of Russian citizens dying in the war to keep internal dissent down, c) stole the property of deceased conscripts and gave their homes to resettlers from Russia to further russify the occupied territories.

Everyone in Ukraine knows these simple truths and that's why the idea of surrendering to Russia remains out of the question. Horror stories from the occupied territories shatter any illusions about peace under Russian control.
You probably want some proxy turning the average bloated page into something more consumable by ancient machines. Also modern TLS tends to be a problem for these old machines. Maybe wrp might help: https://github.com/tenox7/wrp
Taking Shivers' Fundies I class was mind blowing, even as a student that had been programming for several years already. They should have put him and Barzilay (who I had for PL and then later TAed under) in charge of the curriculum update.
Agreed. I also went through it and have found no difficulty with throwing away Facebook, Twitter, etc and sticking to only direct or group messaging.

Some people HAVE gone through the "but I said in X group chat" like above, but it was all unimportant life events that they were happy to fill me in on there instead. All major things people told me directly. Just because I quit social media didn't mean I wasn't aware of the death of my dog from a world away within 2 minutes of it happening.
Contact Mike is one of the most important encyclopedia checks in the game, honestly.

Its one of the few direct hints you get to HDB's backstory before the literal last scene, which can actually give you actionable insight in a couple scenes IIRC.
The truth behind £10 dresses: Inside Shein's factories
My father and a few army friends were able to find each other and sometimes find another guy from their year through Facebook. They do big cookouts together and they started with 3 guys and progressively found more of each other and they had long lost contact. They are now great friends again and in their retirement this brings them a huge happiness.

But some people just can't fathom there's different lives too their own and throw the baby out with the bath water.
Annnnd back up to T-38. Can't do it, going to bed. Hope I don't miss any fireworks (or glory).
Probably yes. Macros are about equally bad than templates in my experience (although C++ people will disagree, I do not see much difference). But mostly I plan to just let the compiler specialize the functions during optimization. I haven't looked at this specific problem though.
By your nickname I assume youre from exyugoslavia. I immediately knew what youre talking about
"Coca-Cola also makes a lot of plastic packaging: about 3.5 million metric tons of it per year, almost entirely out of fossil fuels.…

"For six years running, Coca-Cola has been named the “top global plastic polluter,” based on beach cleanups coordinated by the nonprofit Break Free From Plastic."

It seems to me the solution to this is a no-brainer, that is to put a tax on plastics that are either not recycled or are not properly or adequately recycled. We tax other things because they cause harm, for example the excise tax on alcohol/spirits and cigarettes.

A further tax could be levied on companies that do not have what's deemed to be adequate recycling facilities available. A company would need to be certified as having an adequate recycling ability and be seen applying it or be taxed at a higher rate. This would seem preferable to levying fines on a company which would involve governments in a lot of administrative/legal work and drag out 'fixes' as legal cases drag on for years. Companies would soon comply as they would be at an economic disadvantage compared to those who did.

Further to taxes, add realistic return deposit schemes on plastic bottles, and where such schemes exist increase deposits until they are effective. Same goes for taxes, just increase them until they're effective/companies comply to the letter.

If people/governments are truly concerned with limiting plastic pollution and are intent on fixing the problem then it could be easily done in short order.
I don't think the general concept that "victims must be able to articulate the exact damage done to them or else no harm was done" nor "if some of the victims of something say it's ok then it is ok for everyone" are very sound.

This is not an attack on what you're saying and I'm not saying it even applies wholly right now, it just sticks out to me as a problem with any approach where "a majority of people publicly express an opinion" as a criteria.
Agree wholeheartedly, it was unfortunate that the author did not use a good image generator, or even correctly prompt Dall-E to get better images, his take on using AI then became rather flimsy. I gave up at this point!
> you're going to ignore it and continue to use a phrase derived from something that's incorrect and never existed?

I would guess that 90% of phrases and proverbs used in any language fall into that category.
This reads like slop for some reasons; even to my non-native brain.
R takes this idea to the extreme.

A scientific language needs only arrays and Lists with names (aka Maps).
Would be interested on hearing more if you expanded on that point about differences in material.
There’s an extremely goofy version of RoboCop that’s sort of like this as well.

On the contrary, I'd say it proves their point. They don't know or care whether it's about Polynesians or Melanesians (and I don't think you care either - would you have considered their comment fine if they'd named the correct group of people?). It doesn't matter.
> It is not defamation to infer that a primitive group of people is, well, primitive.

Perhaps not, but it is certainly defamation to ascribe specific pejorative acts to people when they never actually acted in that way.

> The cargo cult story, as it goes, simply describes the (in many ways fascinating) behavior of humans when faced with phenomena they are unable to understand, and how they derive their own interpretations of what happened.

I feel like we can do this in a way that doesn't create a false narrative about an entire group or class of people, no?

And regardless of that, how can a story describe human behavior if the story doesn't describe behavior that actually happened?

Yep, I got lost when he started complaining about teens and social media without discussing anything of substance. I understand where he is coming from, he is a father of 2, and is likely already busy with his family and close social circle, however for most people today, they can't grow up today without social media, you'll just isolate yourself since nobody wants to bother be your friend if they can't reach you without friction. The problem as more pointed out is related to controlling its usage, not its deletion
The fundamental problem of the internet was that it was full of nerds - from a monetization perspective, they are a loathsome bunch.

They barely buy anything, preferring to make their own stuff, and they incessantly complain about the things they do buy.

They resist and effectively fight back against all attempts to control them.

They hate pandering, they don't click on ads (and in fact block them), they smell scams a million miles away.
No, that is a rose colored glasses view of the period. There are people today who still do multi network clients and Jabber transports and suffer the same issues that they suffered during the MSN era .

Heck, the cat and mouse game from the AIM days (much older) is well known and epic, and they were breaking (and suing) each other much more frequently than once per year. Skype was nowhere near to be the first.

> You could talk to all your friends no matter which network they were on.

Hahaha. Let me know how could you talk wih people on MSN without going through a MSN account. It is exactly the same situation (or even worse) than you have today, where you definitely need a Whatscrap account to talk to people on Whatscrap. Third party clients exist for both and they suck as much as they used to do in the past (unreliableness and lack of whatever new fancy useless feature the 1st party clients had just introduced but suddenly became indispensable for people on the network).
Yeah it’s really taking their audience for granted. Not a good first look
$200-300 in Australia, so I'll just keep hoping emulation improves.
Anyone who needs to advertise they deleted their social media accounts with more than a sentence on said networks is gonna be back on there in a week. They crave approval and engagement and likes and without it will spiral out of control.
That was an interesting read, thankyou, and has clarified some of my thoughts in that area.

It amazed me a few years ago now to observe The Guardian in the UK running an article ruminating on whether the term BAME (an acronym for "Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic"), a term which itself had only just about escaped the halls of academia and left-wing journalism, was no longer fit for purpose and should be denied and now considered racist. The dragon was eating its own tail in real-time on that one.
What would make it more secure if it were a domain that gets resolved to an IP address?
I don’t have a strong opinion on this particular example, but it’s quite surprising to me just how many people such as yourself are proudly making variations of an argument that boils down to “I have a right to be rude and I’m gonna use it even more now that I know it annoys you, that’ll show you”. What is the point? How does it add value to the world? Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

When you observe someone publicly doing something that they think is virtuous, why is your first assumption that they’re broadcasting it cynically, rather than that they’re simply being virtuous in a public setting? Most people don’t think that way.
You can still track small state via the reader. I vaguely remember a choose your own adventure as a kid:

If you picked up the key earlier, turn to page XX

Otherwise, turn to page YY

It was entertaining to a) suddenly realize I had missed an important detail or b) allow me to “escape” if I can’t find the key or just don’t like that part of the book.
You can evacuate from a wildfire. Earthquakes catch you by surprise. The choice is die in an earthquake, or just have your possessions destroyed in a fire.

"The grand jury returned an indictment on June 4, 2003, charging Stewart with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, making false statements, and securities fraud." https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/...

I think she beat "securities fraud", but was convicted on conspiracy, obstruction, and making false statements:

https://web.archive.org/web/20040307121033/https://money.cnn...

So, yeah, technically she didn't get convicted of insider trading/securities fraud, but managed a felony conviction around the charges.

Good catch. So I guess we can't easily dismiss Martha from our category of people we refuse to promote.
Virtualenv should have never existed in the first place. So you claiming that UV or whatever tool is doing too much, sounds to me like you're arguing based on "traditionalist" or "conservative" reasons rather than doing any technical thinking here.

Node.js's replacement for virtualenv is literally just a folder named "node_modules". Meanwhile python has an entire tool with strange ideosyncracies that you have to pay attention to otherwise pip does the wrong thing by default.

It is as if python is pretending to be a special snowflake where installing libraries into a folder is this super hyper mega overcomplicated thing that necessitates a whole dedicated tool just to manage, when in reality in other programming languages nobody is really thinking about that the fact that the libraries end up in their build folders. It just works.

So again you're pretending that this is such a big deal that it needs a whole other tool, when the problem in question is so trivial that another tool is adding mental overhead with regard to the microscopic problem at hand.
I don't think that example illustrates what the GP was arguing against. Julius is presumably not a real person, but is an amalgamation of behaviors made by real people. The author of that post may not have even ever known anyone names "Julius".

GP was talking about intentionally making up stories about real people, using their real names, and telling those stories to others who might actually even know the person in the false stories.
Some parts of human intelligence can translate to machine intelligence (like how neurons inspired deep learning). Also, new ways of modeling and treating mental illness. Those are just the first two that come to mind.
Every few weeks I end up with a new video card with button that takes the place of the video and it asks if i want to see something other than what it usually recommends. It's not quite as out there as I'd like, but it did shake things up a bit.
I'm not really tethered to social media as much as some. I still text and call my closer friends regularly. Similar for family.

I do find the reactionary response a bit disturbing. Having been caught up in the trap of "fact checkers" for reposting a political cartoon and similar, I'd definitely prefer the community notes approach. All said the inability of many to have a rational conversation with those they don't completely agree is very wrong on so many levels.
There's still a delay with that, as date takes time to run. You need a program that gets the current time, waits an appropriate amount, prints, and repeats. It'll still be slightly off unless you can measure the printing and flow control accurately.

I have a program I use in shell scripting called sleepuntil that does something like this, but it doesn't try to be millisecond-accurate.
This is an excellently expressed comment.

Yes, agreed. For me, quitting social media went hand in hand with a recognition that I maintained superficial contact with a large number of old friends. My relationship with these people was already “illusory”, or at least unsatisfying. Now my relationships are the product of active work, which I find more valuable, even if it means maintaining contact with a smaller group of close contacts (outside my day to day relationships). It doesn’t mean my relationship with old friends and family has died… we just have a lot more to catch-up about when we talk to each other!
My biggest worry is that maybe the co-op program for CS became a "low interest rate" phenomenon over the years from ~2009-2020 and now they don't want to take gambles on students that likely need to grow into the role. It's not enough, and they treat it like a regular internship program.
Interesting, but not surprising, that Agility only made place 5, way behind Quality. It will soon be a quarter of a century since the Agile Manifesto has been published. It would be sad if we hadn't progressed since then.
Outside of those mission requirements you mentioned there are also some limitations in any cryo cooled liquids onboard.

Either the pressure increases internally, liquid off-gases and needs to be refilled (where there is a finite amount left to use), or risk of components freezing up can all play a factor into how long a rocket can stand on the pad for. As a result it’s less a question of how often can they delay the launch and more a question of how long can the rocket stay out on the pad for you to delay into.

Likely a heep of other reasons as well.

What's the normal vibe on how it feels to work for Bezos on Blue Origin and how does it compare to working for Musk at SpaceX? Is one feeling like startup vs the other feeling like enterprise, or does one feel like the boss is too involved and the other too distant, etc?
The way Murex works is each parameter is first compiled into an AST, and then globing only works against the unquoted tokens.

Globbing is also a separate built in, which allows for other types of wildcard matches like regex too. Eg https://murex.rocks/tour.html#filesystem-wildcards-globbing

So you have have the best of both worlds: inline globbing for convenience and also wildcard matching as a function too.
It took me a while to realize that you do mean __init__.py running when a package imports.

But, you know, top-level code (which can do anything) runs when you import any Python module (the first time), and Python code doesn't have to be in a package to get imported. (The standard library depends on this.)
Thanks for the suggestion! Charging a small fee to reduce fake accounts is an interesting idea. But the big question is whether enough users would actually be willing to pay, especially for something like voting. I’d need to weigh whether this fee could impact the user experience or the overall growth of the platform. It’s definitely something to consider as I continue to refine the system though—thanks again for the input :)

> Yes, I would say you have a very different opinion on slander and defamation from me and also from all of the western legal tradition.

I think you're misunderstanding what the GP was talking about.

If we worked together at a company, and I went to a bunch of junior new hires and said (falsely), "hey, let me tell you about the time imgabe deleted the production database, causing a week-long outage that lost us 20 of our customers", that would absolutely be defamation. That could even be legally actionable if you could prove that story was causing you harm (like perhaps clueless management heard and believed the story, and you were then passed up for promotion or a raise). Not saying that it would be easy to do so, but I personally think you'd be justified in being upset that someone made up a story like that about you. I have a reasonably thick skin, but I certainly wouldn't be pleased that a made-up story like that about me was circulating about me.

And even if you seriously wouldn't care about someone making up a story like that about you and using it as an object lesson at your workplace, assuming that no one would ever be offended or upset about that is... well, kinda shitty.

If you're not going to have choices matter, why make the story in an interactive medium at all? Branching paths require a lot of compromises, but there are still things you can do much better with handwritten stories than in a sandbox style.
I love the differences between those three movies (The Free Movie, Shrek Retold and Star Wars Uncut).
Star Wars really looks like a work of love. Shrek looks like a work of love that tries it's best to not take itself seriously. Free Movie looks like a bizarre troll post.

While this is coherent with each movie's tone itself, and perhaps with the time each "demaster" was made (I don't know, I didn't check), I feel like this is most coherent with how each movie is viewed by the community:

- Star Wars is a beloved movie, with a huge honest fan base. Thus, it was remade with love and attention to detail.

- Shrek is a beloved movie, but doesn't take itself seriously in the first place, and is also a meme. Thus it was remade with love, but trying hard to look like it's a troll.

- Bee Movie is mainly a meme, isn't AFAIK a beloved movie, and its fan base is mostly made of memers and trolls. Thus it was low-effortly remade at this non-flattering image.
Agreed.

Stand up and call out against how ridiculous this request is.
