It's unfair to say that no right wing media has a right to exist. Media that is hostile to democracy should be stomped out, but because its hostile to democracy (or secretly a propaganda machine run by foreign influence), not because i

Wildly untrue, European media is very diverse, and where it sits on average from an American point of view varies from country to country. It may turn out to be not right-leaning enough for your personal tastes, but that doesn't mean i

Musk is part of the administration that has threatened to take European territory by force. He's meddling in—and funding according to some sources—extremism in Germany. Neither he, nor his administration, have been overly bothered to c

Forgetting what you had for lunch last Friday is not necessarily the same as changing what you had for lunch last Friday. You could, for example, throw away the encryption key for that fact. What you had for lunch is now inaccessible, but t

What prior administration? Are you commenting on US politics or the actions of Proton? Edit: I get it, you're arguing for your favorite political party. Not interested.

To give more context: Andy, or someone else, posted what can be read as an endorsement[1]. > Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses. Putting aside that this was a

For context, people were upset about using the official accounts to endorse a party wholesale, in direct violation of their charter. A subset were also upset with the nature of the endorsement. And then you could also discuss whether a CEO

I'm pretty sure he doesn't use it though. Have you seen the formatting of the Clojure source code? It's eclectic.

Parinfer was instrumental to me learning Clojure. Paredit felt like operating an airplane cockpit, and Parinfer took that experience and made it much closer to just writing prose, for which I am forever grateful. I remember people, includin

Something about VSCode makes it hard to add in. I think it lacks the right APIs. Also, the main maintainer of Calva doesn’t use Parinfer, and so isn’t very motivated to add it either. But if someone were to contribute it, I imagine he’d be

Only from a very sterile perspective, divorced from humanity. Consider what it would sound like if you applied this logic to any perpetrator/victim situation, like a rape for example.

I’m sure Putin would love it if the west continued to turn the other cheek. No, if your point is reasonable, it still doesn’t apply when dealing with a psychopath. Who TF cares about moral superiority in the face of an existential threat?

I wonder if this makes it easier for LLMs to navigate your code as well. They are effectively blind.

It's probably not that, but (separately) both the Democratic Party and democracy for the same reason: if Republicans successfully engineer (what's effectively) a one-party state. Regardless if the dems still exist in name or not,

That goes some of the way, but I can think of a few problematic sequences that are only consonants and/or numbers.

One thing I’ve been looking for in an ID generator is a way to supply a blocklist. There are a number of character combinations I’d like to avoid in IDs, because they might be offensive or get stuck in filters when copy-pasted (e.g. in a UR

At the same time, the supposedly rational opponents to this does everyone a disservice by judging all of it based on the loudest fraction of people. And then we can’t have scientific inquiry into anything, because baby/bathwater.

It's more of a double-take on the inhale. 1) Inhale 2) Microscopic pause 3) Inhale some more 4) Exhale longer than inhaling. From what I've noticed, more than two inhales is fine, it still works. It just shouldn't be an uncom

It gets into nature vs nurture. My aunt and uncle couldn’t have kids, but they adopted a boy. He has their values, general kindness, and their sense of humor. For some value of reproduction, I think they’ve done so successfully.
