Phabricator is like that, kind of a git repo host that comes with an opinionated command line tool that crafts your commits for you. Personally, as someone familiar with git I didn't like the abstraction layer on top. However, it&#x27

I think you have a good point but with the worst example. Though the example is good in that it shows the nuance of how it's clearly not always the best choice. If you're doing something like a system update where you're upd

> Do we as a society are responsible for crimes, because we don't prevent them? That's been the mentality shift since the covid shutdowns. It's a mentality shift on how to approach freedom "free from" instead

Hemenway is not reputable. His "research" isn't research, it's advocacy given official backing.

I predict we'll get more and more evidence that "long covid" isn't as real as people think it is.

"The canard of the armed civilian mass-shooting hero " A premise like this just proves you're not interested in any sort of truth discovery, nor discussing this issue in good faith. Guns are excellent tools for self defense.

Self defense gun usage occurs very regularly. I'm fortunate to not have to have resorted to that myself, but the same goes for using my seat belt to protect my body. Also, the biggest dodge I see "studies" take in trying to

So your prediction is that long covid slashes decades off of life expectancy?

by dude187 5y ago
Well I guess I was assuming the prediction was the realization, not the claim for harm. I predict the opposite, that the vast overreaction taken by much of the world will become to apparent to deny. Yet we'll be in too deep for most

Well, the contents of the commit is a patch plus metadata. They point to a parent commit, and layer themselves in the tree. The problem would be if a clone doesn't fetch the new version of the patch and generates a new commit that wou

You'd also need the actual patch to survive future commits, especially without introducing any merge conflicts

In no way is that "the government", and the most I can gather from that article is he's against mandates. Not the vaccines themselves. I feel one of the biggest sources of divide right now is coming from all of those who try

When all your friends talk on platforms like Twitter and Facebook, then you cannot act like censorship through these platforms does not negatively effect the content of discourse available to the public. Especially in times of a forced loc

I believe that common carrier applies to platforms, not just the infrastructure of wires. These platforms could not exist without the large privilege given to them I'm immunity to the illegal content they serve up. The problem is that

Nobody is bound to that stance. Some people, myself included, believe that there is no line. You have the right to say anything.

by dude187 5y ago
Except that the only reason that these large platforms can sustainably exist, is government granted immunity from the content posted to them as a common carrier. Currently they're trying to have it both ways, where they can both be im

The censorship on Wikipedia is internal. Biased articles locked from public editing, delete hungry maintainers that gatekeep content away from the site. Sure some countries can block it, but the subtle internal censorship is far more dama

The overall discussion is regarding censorship though. Censoring everything you deem a "lie" without meeting some arbitrary barrier of truth leads to bad outcomes
