The doors in Alyx feel so good. Poking a gun through, or quickly tossing a grenade and then closing the door again felt so natural.

Oh hey, I remember seeing this on a Manim thread. Great library, you reckon there'd be much interest in a Vue fork if someone were to put in the effort?

Depends what you mean by anti-establishment. Even most hardcore anarchists believe in some form of cooperation. Just because you criticize parts of an establishment doesn't make you anti all kinds of establishment. You can both be anti

I'd argue that they're like those manufacturing companies and a militia rolled into one. They don't simply develop the malware and give it to customers to deploy, they operate and deploy their spyware on behalf of those custo

I really wish the public narrative concerning spyware would shift to something analogous to how we see the state monopoly on violence. The police are a necessary institution that needs oversight and criticism to ensure that the dignity and

I agree, it doesn't really matter, but I've been programming long enough that I can see it being that top step that's always half an inch too tall that I'm going to stub my toe on.

If this has any impact on the visibility/recommendation/moderation of posts this will further entrench the echo chambers on Twitter. It might cut down on harrassment, but outside of bigger accounts "ratio-ing" each other

I've seen hype for Julia over and over, but this is the first piece of information that's made me genuinely interested. Thanks for the heads up! EDIT: Oh god it's 1 indexed

Yeah I agree almost entirely, I think the next point of contention people would need to hash out is how heavy should the burden of proof be that employers should strive for. I'd hope that there was some formal process her employer unde

If we're talking from the employers perspective, likely until it doesn't hit the bottom line. To make this discussion easier, lets consider just the comments in isloation, and assume they're all verified (like most would as a

Yeah I was surprised by that figure too Seems it's only the airframe though and maybe the fuel tank. VTOL motors, alternator, engine, props, control system etc. are all extra.

If I wanted to analyse the ethics of the whole situation, no of course I can't. But I can say that an unethical decision on the part of one party spurred on an ethical response from another. If a robber breaks into a house a pedophile

An argument from organ function only operates if you believe the process of evolution that created those organs and their "goals" are what defines human meaning. I personally believe humans derive their own meaning in life. Tempor

Your employer doesn't hire you to promote your freedoms. They hire you to serve a purpose. For private enterprise that's to make money. If you want freedom in the workplace, then that exists in the form of democratic workplaces, l

I'd bet there's a huge overlap amongst right wing americans. Probably the same for many Western right wing populations. If we're going to call that population limited, then yeah I'd agree

Are you implying that if it were verified that she made that comment that you would change your mind about her firing?

by TOMDM 5y ago
Sorry, I misrepresented the situation due to ignorance. Doxxing people is condemnable, journalists discussing each others views alone is not.

by TOMDM 5y ago
Yeah agreed.

by TOMDM 5y ago
Yes of course using a priveleged position to dox someone is condemnable. I'll admit, I missed where Joshua Benton managed to identify Francesca Viola. However that wasn't what I was taking issue with in the parent comment. I think

Lets be explicit about what happened here. A) A journalist brought light to the comments made by a journalism professor. B) Said journalism professor's employer chose to fire her for those comments. Now, I think there is little room fo

Or if living closer to a dam means you are more likely to be better informed as to the construction and safety margins and thus less likely to think catastrophic failure is likely.

Maybe not the best place for this, but hey it's a question. When adding clusters vs points to a map, filtering points is really simple, but I haven't found a simple way to filter clusters outside of filtering a data source and rea

Even better Notify someone up the chain that you want to submit malicious patches, and ask them if they want to collaborate. If your patches make it through, treat it as though they essentially just got red teamed, everyone who reviewed it
