A large portion of this kind of content results in people irresponsibly spreading a deadly disease while hospitals are turning dying people away in some areas of the country, e.g. LA. I am happy to see content platforms policing thought in

Well, yeah. People _are_ subject to arrest and surveillance for being brown/black in the US.

We have thousands of brown people in camps along the border, in brutal conditions, without access to healthcare(unless you count forced sterilizations as healthcare). Do you consider those to be apples as well?

I have no skin in the game w.r.t to OCaml/Reason/etc. I do wish compile-to-JS languages would give up on the readable Javascript thing. I think ClojureScript nailed it with their reliance on Google Closure's aggressive optimi

Is it interesting? The fact that pg would ignore the negative behaviors of a YC alumni company is not surprising in the least.

It's a nuanced issue, because Haskell extensively uses the dot (.) infix operator to mean function composition. Currently, the expression `f.g` will attempt to compose the function bound to `f` with the function bound to `g`.

It's not learning new things that's necessarily bothersome to me. The problem is that it often feels arbitrary, and I can be sure that I'll have to re-learn all of that again in six months. As @strogonoff pointed out elsewher

If the past four years have taught us anything, is that just about every aspect of our government is ripe for fraud when the party in charge doesn't care about the well-being of the institutions they supposedly hold dear. It seems like

Sure, but I heard the words "you do not have rights" from just about every administrator and authority figure in the school system while I was growing up. This was Nashville 2002-2010. edit: Just wanna say that the information in

Killing is the worst and least likely outcome. The more likely one is getting brutalized/falsely imprisoned on your way home from work, in your home, in your yard, etc. These situations are not rare, especially in the lives of black an

Completely outside of my area of expertise, so this may be a silly question, but are police transmissions distinguishable from others in their encrypted form? If so, there could still be a use case for knowing _where_ the cops are. Wonder i

There's a difference between "editorializing" and "omitting". They're not changing the hate speech, they're just not showing it.

It does! But you still have to actually "use" it, meaning that it appears as a field in the definition, and you have pass a PhantomData value whenever you create new instances of your data type. In Haskell, you can omit these fiel

This is one of my favorite patterns from Haskell, which I've known as "type-level programming". One of the most common examples is a "sized vector"[1] which allows compile-time bounds checking. This is achieved by a

I think generalized induction about "contept X" is the wrong tactic here, even though the formalization is for the sake of clarity. The specifics of this case matter. The thing is that "context X", in this case, refers t

The authors opinion about the misogyny of the speaker's trivialization does not carry nearly the amount of weight as legal prohibitions on hate speech. I do not think it's valid to dismiss a community's right to enforce a cod

The joke seems like a response to the efforts to implement the anti-harassment policy in question. In that context, this joke is, as others have stated, about trivializing concerns with rape culture in tech( valid concerns IMO ) . That suck
