I'd say genocide is a bit... Strong, something like terminate might be just as apt, and less likely to get you fired!

Humanity has been killing and enslaving each other for time immemorial, so I'd wager at some point, most civilizations were enslaved to some extent. Maybe recency plays into this, but it's been abolished in the US for a fair few g

Why go through the hard effort of making real change happen, when the masses are appeased by token gestures that solve 0 problems people actually face?

What about masterpiece, master's degree, skill mastery, etc? Seems like an complete ban on the word is the intended outcome.

by sk0g 6y ago
So is the intended outcome a complete ban on the word "master", context be damned? What about master's degrees, skill mastery, masterpiece? Surely if you see slavery references anywhere you find the word "master" us

It's not just a developer thing, it's used in lots of other places, like master/ slave cylinders, etc.

How are these changes necessary? What problem does moving git branches away from being references to master copies solve?

I'm confused by the number of contributors and stars for what seems like, from the README, a project that is 10% of the way to an MVP, if that.

It looks like a Mac hello world GUI project though! Needs a bit more on screen to demonstrate anything.

Not as far as our brightest scientists in the relevant fields have been able to figure out. What do you propose?

What about all the chemicals that never get to human testing due to harmful effects coming up in animal testing? Is that not a net positive from a human perspective?

I've been waiting Caladan Brood to put their music on streaming services for ages, but they've been on BandCamp forever! You're not from Salt Lake City, are you?!

It was going to be in relation to the British rule helping abolish it, but it's not completely gone still, is it? During travels through small towns in the western part of India, I heard about a local case around 2010, but allegedly th

Didn't realise! I'll edit my comment to remove that part. I was going to mention sati, but decided against it.

I lived in India for a bit, and no shit they wouldn't share it. It's a horrible form of discrimination, worse than racism in some ways, IMO. You could, historically, spread your "untouchableness" by contacting people of

Moreso, it's not yet illegal because the problem is an imported one entirely.

The backend service I'm using doesn't have cached CI yet, so the entire build takes ~20 seconds. The CircleCI free tier is good enough for now, and more time is spent pulling dependencies than building, anyway. The build pulls in

Sorta, it breaks down the images (from anime?) into three representations - surface, structure, and details, and also extracts each of those representations from generated images. Those representations are then cross-checked by the adverser

Go would have compiled an order of magnitude faster still. The compiler is less safe, and thorough than Rust's, but still.

Yeah but is it the algorithm suppressing such content, or is that outside of a vocal minority, similar tags reduce interest in the content, on average?

Astute observation. Yes, I'm asking you to explain why the 2012 connector is better than the 2014 one, because that's the one I have doubts about, as opposed to the obsolete 2007 one. Would you rather break a $10 cable or a $800 p

And what would these benefits of lightning vs USB C be, aside from being endorsed and embedded in the Apple ecosystem?

> Ufo's existance were confirmed by US navy. The way it's written, it sounds like the US Navy confirmed the existence of aliens, but it was just unexplained phenomena, right?

There's a latency overhead to cgo calls that isn't really on the list of things to be optimised. Renders the language unusable for wrapping around OpenGL and the likes, in a (complex) gaming context. See issues like this: https:&

Anecdotal, but a few overweight people I've known have been terrible at estimating how much they eat. Usually they'd skip over/forget very hefty 'snacks', or think a portion is a portion, while scooping up a small f

What a lame strawman. First off, that's not even food that would be digestible by a human. Secondly, reasonable people don't say all calories are equal, but that estimating TDEE + calories eaten is the best calculation to make for

Wouldn't Firefox with all the inbuilt tracking protection, etc be better than Chromium? I seem to remember some bug reports of Chromium sending requests to Google servers too.

I had this happen ONE DAY before the year of purchase was up on an XPS 15 9570. Very glad I messaged Dell Support straight away, as they ended up replacing it for free without much pushback.

I wish they made these available in Australia! Wouldn't even be different to the US version, power supply aside.

Only one of them would allow you to be productive. A big case, screen, keyboard, etc all adds up. You're overestimating the performance of phone CPUs and storage too.
