"Au jour d'aujourd'hui" is used to emphasize the "up to now" quality, kind of like "as of now". "Comme même" is just a spelling mistake. Kind of similar to "he is better then that"

I don't follow how knowing C and Assembler makes types clear and I'd love it if you could clarify. Nominal types are really a compile time only thing: if you have two structs (or classes) with the exact same fields, I'd expec

It just means that structural types are the default and you need to opt in to nominal types, when necessary: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?ssl=13&ssc=1&pln=13&pc=... (there are other ways as well) In

The correct use is to remove the `age` property in this case: if you're not keeping a reference to the object or that property and the called function cannot use it, why have it in the first place?

"cancel" doesn't really mean anything here. I don't think Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro should get fired from the average workplace (I'm not familiar with Jeanine Cummins) unless they insist on trying to impose their vie

We can disagree about the wisdom of ethno-nationalist states in general (in my opinion they lead to deciding that some group is a different ethnicity and using that to justify their ouster, see Myanmar, China or recent Indian laws). Either

That's largely true, but many parts of Paris itself are relatively working class (the 13th district, the 19th district) and still very dense. Similarly while the outskirts of Paris don't have a subway system (they have the RER, ak

It's very different though, because in the former case the assumption is that direct financial benefit is blocking all chance of change. In the second you realize that organizing by different interest groups (renters for example) can e

There's no problem with wildly differing views. The problem is dehumanizing speech. Taking reddit as an example, there's a thriving r/Libertarian and r/guns together with Sanders supporting or communist subreddits. Don&#

This is akin to an argument that you shouldn't fire your nazi-sympathizing coworker when they discuss their support for an ethnonationalist state because they may join neo-nazi groups and "radicalize" as a result. Yes, they m

It's much likelier that they are responding to the voters that have the time and money to make their reelection difficult.

Selfish is the wrong word I think, people are myopic about density and assume its inevitably a negative. A number of cities have shown that's not the case.

Ideally you'd do the least amount of browsing and reading email possible on your work laptop and sandbox whatever is left if possible. Something like Qubes OS (or maybe manually using containers or virtual machines) could be an option.

That's not a problem if you have to physically show up though, since no one can spoof that.

That may be true, but it's an added opportunity to notice something is wrong. If and when people are used to U2F/Webauthn security, it'll feel very wrong to have to manually enter a code. Although routing information isn&#x27

I'm not convinced knowing about how this works is the solution. Plenty of software engineers that understand TLS/DNS/etc. get phished because it only takes a few minutes of distraction. The same principle applies in medicine

The way you seem to frame the presumption of innocence, arresting and detaining someone would violate it. Presumption of innocence is a legal principle once charged, it's not a trump card against being accused and held responsible for

That's a fair fear to have and these are difficult questions. But take what you advocate to its logical extreme: what if I say it'd be ideal if all minorities would die of terrible diseases to "cleanse" tech/the cou

The idea that it's OK to implement an algorithm that takes some user's input to censor posts but it's not OK to do so directly seems like it skirts the central question. If I have upvotes and downvotes, weighted the way I lik

Criticism is not hate speech. Ignoring the unclear phrase "hate speech", banning calls to violence or verbal harassment is very different from banning opinions. Free speech as it is understood in the US applies to the government a
