This is not a US case btw. Freedom of speech is (nearly) black and white. We cannot feel free to express our speech even if others find it offensive. If we do restrict it, that is not freedom.

Seriously who downvoted this? I left this comment in response to parent, who had no idea this was not the Linus of Linux fame and said he was unable to afford teamviewer as a result of Linux being opensource.

And Linus torvalds can certainly afford it

> aggressively cancelling shows Even so much so I can’t find shows I saw ads for in 2017 or 2018 even existing because they were so bad. It makes me feel the Mandela effect is happening.

I like how it prevents unnecessary repetition. “An object with foo stored in key foo” { foo: foo } vs “an object containing foo” { foo }

That’s exactly what happens with cancel culture. Nothing is off limits and context of a person’s actions and works is lost and scrutinized as if it were now.

I think you’re missing the point and just want to stand tall on the “China’s(CCP) not so bad!” opinion you are so dearly, devoted to. By in the “West” what do you mean? US? North America? Any place but China?

> What does that say about the last 40 years of usability and user experience research? Bias. Attractive and usability/UX are not one in the same. I find this appalling yet likely good usability.

I’ve certainly been insane before and feel no offense by the parent comment. Simply linking this gist without an explanation of why you are or why you disagree seems like you cannot defend your opinion but with just a link to someone else’s

Like sulfur becoming an accepted spelling of sulphur from frequent misspelling? “Okay no one can get it right so just make it that too”.

I can certainly agree on the first three, pipes I’m not all for. Just seems like another way to skin a cat that is less readable (to me at least). Functions being even on there is laughable. “I have 0 familiarity with the language but I mus

It seems like a good idea but in general it would violate the spirit of the game. Human error wasn’t an issue before the advent of video that captured what was a strike or not, who was safe or not, who checked their swing or not. Pitchers p

It’s not a good comparison at all. Learning lisp or understanding it is a good base knowledge regardless of your primarily language. It’s not a language that’s truly esoteric and difficult to reason about by nature. Metaprogramming/mac
