There's plenty of American comedy that doesn't fit this mold (Broad City and Search Party are two examples that come to mind).

Hmm? There are laws against some forms of discrimination, but organizations have freedom of association just as individuals do. For example, political affiliation is not a protected class, so (in some states and some contexts) it is perfect

I don't think anyone decides that as such. Organizations and individuals decide who they do or don't want to associate with. If it turns out that very few people want to associate with you, then you've been ostracized. Your q

That’s exactly what’s changing now that the right is in power. People are already being deported for protesting in support of Gaza. We shall see how long academia is able to maintain any degree of independence. The Trump administration is n

You can certainly ostracize people who don’t deserve to be ostracized, but it doesn’t follow from that that all social ostracization is inherently bad. Freedom of association and freedom of speech can be used for bad ends as well as good, l

The calculation still works, you just can’t check if there was an overflow. I can imagine maybe doing that on, say, an embedded platform with a 16-bit address space. But this kind of code is going to be vastly less common than code that d

What kind of code would actually be affected by this change? It’s easy to imagine sensible code that depends on signed integer overflow (I’ve written some myself in languages where its behavior is well defined). But how often does one come

Maybe it requires this in Zig (I don’t know), but in general there’s no reason why you couldn’t allocate the nodes of an extrusive linked list from a pool residing on the heap or on the stack. For example, you could do this with the STL (fo

The Journeys of Frodo is also worth a look if you like this kind of thing. The author isn’t a professional cartographer and it’s more focused on LOTR locations than general world building. Anyway, I was completely captivated by it as a ch

It’s generally quite easy to use these over I2C without a driver. You can crib the sequence of initialization commands from the example code supplied by the manufacturer (or loads of examples on GitHub), and then the commands to draw to the

As a sibling points out, recursive descent parsers have been mainstream for a long time. Higher order parser combinators are only moderately useful in an imperative language with regular looping constructs. (For example, the code to parse a

No, this is not the standard expected of politicians. This is an unusual — probably even unprecedented — level of recklessness and carelessness for a National Security Advisor. We can expect the person advising the President on national s

Free speech doesn’t mean not getting fired. You can get fired in any county for things that you say (e.g. insulting your coworkers, lying to your boss, defaming your employer on social media, …). The exact laws and social conventions obviou

Everything is a flip side of the same coin if you abstract away from all the important details. Oh the right say that some things are bad? Well the left say that some things are bad too! These lazy equivalencies only breed cynicism and give

Not a native Spanish speaker, but I don't think there's much to this. Signs and ads can be written in a formal or informal tone just as they can in English. On top of that, there's huge variation between Spanish speaking coun

This is ambitious. I once had a college class where the students were very upset because I decided to change the number of in-class quizzes from 5 to 4 a few weeks into the course. (The quizzes made up 10% of the overall grade.) Students ha

Maybe “work camp” suggests something radically different to you than it does to me. To me, it indicates that there is nothing to do in London besides work, and that more or less everything in London is work related. Tourists visit London be

I know it’s not really how the US political system works, but the Democrats desperately need a single “leader of the opposition” figurehead. For some reason they seem to think that they have all the time in the world to choose their next ca

If you remove the emotional coloring from this, you’re just saying that most people in London work for a living, and that many of them commute from less central locations to more central ones. The same could be said of many big cities. Not

I guess you are not being serious, but obviously, they come for the usual sorts of attractions offered by large cosmopolitan international cities. London has its flaws, but to describe it as a “work camp” is just completely divorced from re

Nonsense. London was the city ranked third in 2024 for the number of international visitors. There is plenty to see and do besides work.

Some people would prefer there to be fluoride added to the water and some people would prefer there not to be. There's one set of pipes (in a given municipality), so you can't please everyone. You might as well complain that the g

I'm aware of the history (I said "beloved of", not "invented by"). My point is that it's idiosyncratically American to think of decisions about municipal water treatment as being fundamentally questions of poli
