At least until you have an understanding of what gender is, how you yourself fit into that social construct and can articulate it, gender is ambiguous for everyone, intersex or not.

There are people who are not clearly male or female both from a biological or sociological perspective. That's not an opinion, it's fact. Emphasizing that being nonbinary is rare only serves to legitimize labelling it as other as

Red Hat isn't responsible for systemd, Poettering started it and was later hired by Red Hat, which at some point adopted systemd. Red Hat doesn't have the power to force distributions to use systemd or to make other projects depen

iOS doesn't have an API for custom voice commands, even for native apps. Though there are rumors that they might do something like this, maybe they'll show something at WWDC.

There is some value in that because an advertisers knows how much they invested and what they return is. This tells you very little about the actual size of the audience and nothing about the conversion rate.

The GIL has atomic bytecodes as a side effect and this assumption has become part of the API. There is nothing on the datastructure side that can be done to "fix" this. In any case memory access should be considered a memory manag

Chances are that you can't afford the most modern hardware. An attacker at least temporarily can probably afford more than you can. If you configure bcrypt so that an attacker spends 1s, it will be to slow to be practical for you.

The problem is that the law regarding rape in Germany is awful. Lack of consent alone is not sufficient for something to be considered rape in Germany. In fact there is currently a fairly noteworthy case ongoing in Germany about a Gina-Lisa
