Name a single example of someone who has been 'canceled' for fourth degree associations with white supremacists?

Even if you were using pre-processed data, pattern matching helps to make the code easier to read. I guess I can think of clearer examples in other languages, like Rust, that supported tagged unions: // Given this enum e

As danohuiginn clarified, the reason I'm adding the checks is because assuming there's such a key as 'breed' in the json_pet dictionary can (and will!) lead to KeyError exceptions.

Pattern matching isn't just about having a switch statement, but about what you can do in the 'case' part of the statement: match complex data and extract variables. A good example of how pattern matching simplifies code is g

Thanks for formulating this in much more understandable terms than my comment!

I fail to see how the author's plight at the hands of the internet mob makes the situation less nuanced. Flippant dismissal of facts isn't going to help things get better either.

Well, in the case of Parler it was literally funded to provide a voice to all those people banned from Twitter for saying shitty things. And Gab's founder got kicked out of Y Combinator for being a racist asshole. So I'd say in th

See, the best trick for pushing propaganda isn't fabricating stories, but choosing carefully what stories you publish and which ones you don't. The perfect example of that is Breitbart's infamous 'black crime' tag:

I'd disagree with that. Most companies in San Francisco/Bay Area pay salaries that more than make up for the increase in cost of living. I used to work at a startup before it was acquired by Google and my salary back then was mo

Would you rather live in a cheap city but get a salary that ultimately leaves you with less disposable income?

Sure, but on the other hand I used to travel abroad four or five times a year, inside the US every month or so and my checking account wouldn't even feel the strain. I don't think that many people stay in San Francisco for the qua

It's not just about getting a bigger number in your bank account, but about your career. Silicon Valley offers amazing opportunities for anyone ambitious enough and it's literally the place where most of the innovation in tech is

And that's why a huge amount of my friends in San Francisco are foreigners. Europe needs to do something if it wants to stop the brain drain.

On the other hand, there's a bit of an obsession to equate the success of a company with the respect the founder is supposed to receive. There's plenty of examples of people who became 'successful' and were still not gre

Hehe, had the same reaction to the name, but when I think about the word for 'computer' in Brazilian Portuguese (which is the one I'm fluent in), it makes more sense: 'computador parceiro'. Still weird phrasing, but

Yes, but - playing Devil's advocate here, I'm a solid believer that vaccination is our best chance out of this - the opposite is also true: because the disease is so virulent we are willing to play fast and loose with researching

Underrated comment. The more I think about it, negging is almost a defining characteristics of the profession, isn’t it? C programmers complain about languages like D or Rust as fancypants languages that just add syntactic sugar. Vim users

Except for - you know - the Capitol Police officer that got killed. Other than that, a perfectly peaceful protest.

Nice that you chose to focus on that and not on the police officer that got killed or the video of another police officer that for almost crushed to death while being repeatedly punched in the face. One would be forgiven for thinking you ar

It's also funny how the 'thin blue line' people ended up killing more police officers than all of the BLM protests put together and tried to crush one alive in a door. Very 'funny'.

They believe in overthrowing democracy to put their gun in power. That's a crime.

While we are on the topic of multi-year propaganda campaigns, can you help me spell Benghazi?

Yep, as ‘delusional’ as all the warnings from people who said Trump and his group of psychopaths were going to end up causing a violent attack on democracy... that clearly was an overblown concern, right?

This is a completely flawed premise. The idea that 'if we don't let them talk to each other to organize insurrections, they'll somehow will do something worse' is ridiculous.

I think the general point is 'if it works for Google, you should feel relatively safe adopting it for your own use'. It doesn't mean it'll fit every single usecase. If what you need is something that is super efficient o
