The very first plot is a textbook and misleading. If we consider only recorded history (~10k) then today the more people alive than ever lived

Consider this: [almost] all popular (found by/landed from google) questions on StackOverflow are simple/easy for experts in corresponding topics. There are two camps: one think that it makes StackOverflow useless, another—the exa

'wkeism' as a tool reminds me about authoritarian states introducing laws that are impossible not to break by design and then applying them selectively to obliterate any dissent.

It is just unnecessary breakage for minuscule reward

Direct quote, nobody puts anything in other peoples' mouths: «Russians are pure terrorist nation. They have larges Russian IT-community called Habr (Habrahabr) and most of IT Engineers started supporting invasion and killing innocent c

I'm not versed on the vocabulary. In this context, the meaning is close to "protected class" (what is the opposite of being asian while you are applying for college)

I'm talking about the recent (2010s) legislation. I don't remember the exact name and google is useless.

what you are doing is called gaslighting. Why bother?

This reminds how europeans justified slavery: "they are barbarians. We are making them a favor by owning them. We give them civilization" btw, russians are officially considered colored in US as I understand.

I wanted to live in a world you presented: benevolent power spreads the wealth around the world. Unfortunately, it is just a fairytale for little children.

NATO would have destroyed Russia anyway. After the drastic intensification of anti-Russia propaganda in 201x which prepared the population to accept it, it is a matter of time. There is nothing nothing Russia might do to stop the agression

I'm talking about dehumanization, about "one standards for us vs. another standards for them" It is so ingrained that people like you, don't see anything wrong with it. P.S. I don't care about downvotes. I'm s

I don't remember discussions about DDOSing US when they invaded Iraq. Do you?

Iraq was a sovereign country. My point is that it is ok for "us" to invade sovereign countries for "reasons" but not for "them" for any reason. It is hypocritical.

You are suggesting to attack NATO countries. Do you want WW3?

It is very one-sided view. You have a veil over your eyes that you are not aware of.

Could you link to one just one pro-Russian post on HN homepage? All posts are anti-Russian. Make your own conclusions.

Like Iraq?

Try as an experiment, lsay something factual (easily verified even by google) but pro-Russian, and see how many downvotes you get.

How many countries were bombed by NATO?

US showed it can kill journalists (!) who are not aligned enough (remember wikileaks video). It might skew how wars are portrayed.

I have never seen a comment on politics which demonstrated non-brainwashed thinking on HN. Surprisingly, I saw more humane, fact-based, and independent thinking on tiktok.

Imagine Mexico for any reason would invite Russian army. What answer do expect from US in such case? And you don't have to imagine, just remember Cuban missile crisis (in response to US deploying missiles in Turkey, Italy)

It doesn't look natural to me nesting one arg functions in Python: lambda x: lambda y: lambda z: .. What would the harm be to adapt the abstract notion (curry) for the specific language instead of trying to apply it literally (ugly)? F

I don't see how the mere presence of the moderator makes him woke. Avoiding identity politics doesn't mean that garbage content shouldn't be taken out.

@curryable looks the same as @partializable: @curryable def add(a, b): return a+b add2 = add(..., 2) # curried print(add2(3)) # 5

Nit: List comprehension looks better for expressions (preferable over lambda+map)

It is like saying: don't post from internet here--it is full of garbage/trolls (it is true but irrelevant unless your point that all articles are garbage or all users are trolls). The cancel culture is cancerous.

I see it more as an example of anti pattern: unnecessary layers obfuscating what happening. Good abstraction is hard and it is not free. It is better to make mistake of under using abstraction than overusing (the latter is much harder to ma
