Incidentally: tech managers who have (nontrivial) HR duties are exactly as reliable, competent, and qualified as HR managers with programming and DBA responsibilities. But the latter is self-evidently ridiculous, whereas the former happens

I am curious what you mean by “ruled with an iron fist.” I am curious if you are able to offer a single compelling example. This is an ad hominem but I don’t care: I have seen you here many times before pushing right-wing disinformation - a

This is extremely good to know, thank you - I have turned off my M1 Mini and probably won’t be booting it until Apple announces a fix and explanation about the hard drive issue. I am not quite sure if this Time Machine business is directly

I am not qualified to make any technical arguments. There’s a strong security and tech-managerial argument for using the software that’s aligned to the reference implementation. Obviously cython is currently the better choice for risk-adv

You are just wrong: in the early 90s 55% of US whites were opposed to interracial marriage (compared to 13% opposition in 2013) [1]. In my view this one shocking and outrageous stat is enough to refute your point. But also look at the polit

Just FYI, most dependent type systems don’t typecheck when a parameter to a type constructor is a function, since they can’t “deduce” very much about a function except its signature. They can take proof objects (including objects involvin

Aladdin was obviously not intended to be racist and was probably made by people with good intentions. The same could be said of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Song of the South. But 1992 was a dramatically more racist and reactionary era than 2021

> Any type system with dependent types (`where` in Passerine) is undecidable, meaning error reporting for these types has to be moved to runtime. Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but this is very confusing. Most dependently-typed languag

Hmm, at a somewhat longer glance, I would say it’s very Scheme-ish in its semantics but only superficially like Haskell (and really more like ML generically). Specifically, despite algebraic type definitions, Passerine is dynamically-typed

You can pretend to care about North Korean censorship all you want, but if you name your platform “Pepe,” positively cite 4chan as an influence, and take the time to criticize “cancel culture SJWs” then it’s quite clear what your intentions

My point was that PhD dropouts can land on their feet but it’s not a question of “following their passions and do something that makes you happy.” It’s really a question of “give up your passions and do something pragmatic.” My career in so

The problem is graphs like that are used to misleadingly portray lactose tolerance as a “racial” trait, using an out-of-context bit of science to propagate the falsehood of racial differences between Africans and Europeans. The (real) biolo
