Wow what a bunch of nonsense. I know this is a rant but the author gets so many things wrong I can’t respect their opinion at all

Obviously Karens are not subjected to oppression, woman may be oppressed, but Karens are not all woman and are not oppressed as a social class. Though I supose from their point of view, asking for basic decency is akin to oppression. Fittin

Yes, I disagree with that definition of slur, the bar is too low if that's all it takes. In my opinion a history of oppression is what matters and if we go by how twitter uses a word, "Karen" and "Boomer" would be s

The n-word is a slur, yes, that has no bearing on whether other words are slurs or not. Do you have a point or should I just accept that whatever word you deem a slur, is one?

Is calling someone by their preferred pronouns as onerous as treating them like royalty to you? I see now why so many people make such a fuss about this.

It doesn't sound like that at all to me. Also, they ARE trans-exclusionary and they ARE radical feminists. I don't buy that a simple description is a slur.

I think that was bad phrasing on GP's part. Rust only allows breaking changes for edition changes, which are opt-in. Libraries in older (or newer) editions can still be used together in your project, no matter which edition you are usi

A good library of references is very much worth the price, even these days where you can find anything on the internet.

I guess beings so strong and powerful that they would destroy us without a second thought, like we do to ants, would fall into the "Evil" category in my comment above.

I am able to define what those mean, yes. A family means “family” and a mermaid means “mermaid”. Same answer for the rest, none of your emoji examples are complicated to interpret unless you add text to accompany them, and even then, at mos

You make it sound like interpreting emoji is nuclear physics. Most emoji have clear meanings, who is replacing language for emoji and what does that look like?

I shouldn't be shocked people are trying to rewrite such recent history, but it still feels weird when most people here were there watching it happen. Reddit not only bent over backwards to try and keep TD up, they went to lengths they

How is saying hospitals are full extraordinary? My country is going through it right now, we just had our first death from someone who could not find a hospital bed. Im sure a google search on this subject would be very easy.

I feel like the core argument of the original "what color is your function" article is that you can't abstract over sync/async. You can't write `array.filter` to receive a sync or async parameter, it is either one o

The Rust community regards the JS community with contempt? Where does that opinion come from?

Is it impossible for a game to be racist? If not, how do you know this instance wasn’t racist? Do you know the game better than the people working on it? This is not people on twitter complaining, these were actual professionals who were a

Scrolling by dragging the bar seems to apply the max amount of blur even if you only move it by a pixel, but other than that I could see myself using it as a browser extension. This was a pleasant scrolling experience

I think nobody is mentioning that because raytracing is already a proven technology, we just need the hardware to match. RTX (nvidia's support) is pretty gimmicky so far, since most devs are only using it for reflections, but even glob

This isn't a good argument. If there is blame to be assigned it is not unthinkable that some groups are not to blame and another is.

Most of what I see about ECS is how much easier it is to have dynamic behaviors without inheritance, and it is, so I don’t see why it would be bad for newcomers to use it or to have an ecs lib written in js.

Some people (I know one of them) carry their pokemon from the first generation, so they can still catch'em all. My friend's case is a mix of nostalgia and just knowing what they will get from the experience. But Pokemon is not jus
