"After the Communist International's abrupt turn in its Third Period from 1928, the KPD regarded the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) as its main adversary and adopted the position that the SPD was the main fascist party i

The historical antifa is the German Antifaschistische Aktion. You can read about some of the things those guys engaged in - they didn't just target Nazis - to see why the association is controversial.

In exactly the same way as the German Nazis were socialist.

I find it amusing that westerners are only now discovering that left wing politicians can be not just authoritarian but socially conservative as hell. USSR notably banned abortions for 20 years under Stalin, and homosexual intercourse for m

It's impossible to use in a neutral way because all such parties are inevitably authoritarian brand of socialist, and any time you have authoritarian nationalism, crimes against humanity follow. The point you're trying to make h

Jus soli is pretty much the norm in the Americas, so it's more of an Old World / New World thing.

I think that most people arguing for integration are fine with grandparents being left to their devices. Where they get antsy is when the next generation grows up self-segregated into their own distinct culture.

I don't think it's a coincidence that supporters of positions that are broadly considered extremist in their respective countries are also the ones who end up running services like private VPN and email.

The "paradox of tolerance" is only a paradox to people who can't tell the difference between words and actions, anyway. There's no paradox in tolerating the words if you draw the line at action to implement those words.

How did we get to the point where suggesting that you hear out what someone has to say for themselves get equated to "literally defending his choice"? I'm very far left myself, but I hate this tendency to equate any intellect

DPRK is arguably one of the most successful national socialist states in existence. (You might look at it and think, "if that is success, then how you define failure"? but don't forget, it took all of 12 years for the German

As someone who grew up in Russia in the 90s, I've seen it firsthand that the red/brown horseshoe is not a theory. It was often difficult to tell which one was which; even when it came to religion, our commies have all suddenly fou

Tax brackets are very easy to explain, it doesn't even require math beyond basic arithmetics. You can draw a bunch of lines on paper and show how different slices are taken from each. The problem is that the intuitive understanding doe

This is how you tell genuinely left-wing politicians from "free market progressives": look at whom they are trying to tax.

Better yet, carry a mini shovel. Every car needs one anyway as part of the emergency kit (getting stuck in mud happens!), but a properly sharpened shovel also doubles as a very nasty weapon, much more so than a baseball bat.

With counterfeit currency, the whole point of the counterfeit is to look indistinguishable from the original. This makes it very easy to detect - you know exactly what to look for and you can block it with high confidence, because anything

The problem, as far as they are concerned, is enforcement. The law can say that X is illegal and ban selling it, but if you can 3D-print it, and its use is already illegal either way, then the law is moot. Note that this isn't really l

I wonder if it's because non-developers are not exposed to Codex and Claude Code? I try to use Antigravity every now and then, and each time I drop it because of the sheer number of bugs and general brokenness.

Most writing systems are optimized for the way they end up being used in practice by the society of their time. Which has nothing to do with "writing sacred texts" per se, it's more a function of traditional means of writing

Ironically the worst parts of .NET today are the things it copied from Java and now can't get rid because of backwards compatibility (stuff like covariant yet mutable arrays, for example).

.NET had green threads (fibers) in its first iteration. They were abandoned because practical use of .NET was also FFI-heavy - WinForms etc - and native code generally doesn't play well with non-native threads. The benefit of async is

The way it worked in practice is that all the new built-in collections in System.Collections.Generic implemented the non-generic interfaces as well, so e.g. List<T> implements IList<T>, but it also implements IList (explicitly),

How can green threads have zero impact on FFI in the presence of callbacks across the boundary? I mean, as soon as the other side uses TLS in any way, for example, you have to figure out how to handle that, and it's not free.

And yet China is building new nuclear plants just as fast as it's building solar and wind. It's almost as if the "grinding halt" was political in nature.

Not even close. It may be "about as good" on some very specific task.

I don't recall any kind of retention limits at Microsoft, at least not for engineers. My mail archives went all the way back to my hire date even 15 years later.

Yep. I should add that the current crop of models is much more tolerant of something like this, compared to where we were a year ago - as in, they are quite willing to wait for a long time for the test or profiling run to finish without giv

"Forcing" here basically means giving initial instructions that clearly require passing the tests as a condition of finishing the work. The agent still works uninterrupted.
