They were pointing out markers of being an upper-class white guy, so it's strange that you present that as an alternative rather than agreement.

Are you saying you believe vegans are unable to drink coffee?

Yeah, we don't have Nadella publicly screaming about how left-wing advertising execs are about to destroy Microsoft, begging celebrities for money, and laying off half the company with no warning. Twitter genuinely looks in need of rep

There are general servers that provide basically the same "anonymous in a big city" experience as Twitter (or at least, as much as Twitter did 10 years ago).

They inherited "AppKit" and "Foundation" from Next and they have been running with that naming convention ever since.

The word "unfashionable" seems a bit ill-defined here. The article itself makes the argument that hydro is popular and many places either have adopted it or are adopting it, so obviously that's not what "unfashionable&qu

From what I can see, it's not entirely clear it actually uses a blockchain. Their PR name-drops blockchains and "Web3", but the technical details they offer consistently fail to explain how a blockchain might be involved. It

I think you're imagining a projection of a 2D world into three dimensions and correctly observing that it's three-dimensional. Imagine a 2D world with two squares and a circle. One of the squares pushes the circle and it rolls int

That is not really what's going on here. If you replaced the interface in the OP's example with the actual type being returned, the nil comparison would work as expected. It isn't that the interface is allowing a comparison t

You are right, but Substack nevertheless presents a screen that looks like a paywall even on free articles like this. You need to notice and click a small "read the post first" link below the faux paywall into order to continue

It's the homeopathic backup problem — they make sure to have a backup because they know that's best practice, but they don't have any checks in place to make sure the backup works.

If your mental model of C++ is viewing everything as implicit references like Python, this operator is the least of your problems. If you are not viewing C++ that way, there is no way you could confuse the two operators, because the Python

None of the snippets in my post indicate borrowing. You can borrow or not borrow any of the types above. It is true, though, that there are differences. With the generic, you can refer to the type again later, whereas the type is anonymous

I'm not sure it was libc in particular. In general, the Go compiler's initial design was very enthusiastic about the idea of fully statically linked binaries and easy cross-compilation. Avoiding system libs does kind of flow natur

Rust is not so different from Perl in this regard — there are many ways to do practically everything. Do you want an argument that implements a trait? Cool, just use a generic with a trait bound (either specified as `<T: Trait>` or `&

You're speaking in generalities that can hardly even be mapped to the situation at hand. What, specifically, are you saying is the correct recourse here? What are you saying would go wrong if Google were prosecuted for intentionally sh

I can't think of any instances of people being persecuted for being cisgender. But I suppose you can draw a reasonable comparison to The Pirate Bay, which has received much more attention from law enforcement for cutting into record la

They are the top suspects in the swatting of the Twitch streamer Keffals and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just in the past month. There have been many news articles about it — I would suggest Googling and picking the source that seems most c

That was not my definition. Kiwi Farms will post their target's private info, the private info of everyone their target knows, send death threats to their target and their family, report false crimes to try and get SWAT teams to kill t

I agree, I wish we had a law enforcement apparatus that cared about protecting transgender people. But we don't have a clear path to that at the moment, and in the meantime we want to avoid more people being killed. Thus you have peopl

This appears to be describing a parallel universe. The justice system we have in America today is arcane, strongly favors monied interests, is subject to perverse incentives ("tough on crime" DAs, lack of interest in pursuing crim

I can provide lots of examples of Kiwi Farms doxxing and harassing queer people. Whether they happen to work for Cloudflare at the time is a matter of chance, and not particularly relevant to the point.

The group they're trying to target here is a terrorist group. Not even in a metaphorical sense. It's people who try to harass random transgender people to the point of suicide or murder.

I don't know about that. If I recall correctly, there was a time when Google was trying to tamp down on pages with excessive advertising, so SEO spammers just switched to making pages that superficially looked like normal informational

What do you feel makes Python less suited to monorepos than any other language? I've worked in Python-heavy monorepos and they seemed about like any other kind. And there is nothing wrong with using a type checker for your Python type

I think something that might help you understand a little better is this: Python includes everything you need to write type hints, but it doesn't include any type checking functionality. They're making a dynamic language where

I haven't used it, but my understanding from reading about it is that the intended use-case is to create a Worker (roughly equivalent to an AWS Lambda) that mediates access to the bucket. So you could have the worker provide public acc

The "know someone how has" clause seems like it muddies the apparent purpose of the question (to gauge how common this is). 15/15 developers on my team either are me or know someone who is me, therefore being me is extremely
