Being married usually bring very important rights. A good example is legally being considered a partner if the other is in a hospital. In pre-same-sex marriage there have been concrere situations where partnes have been denied seeing their

Funny that you compare YPG to ISIS. YPG/YPJ (alongside others in SDF) where some of the most successful militia in fighting back against ISIS (so much that there where some strategic co-operation with US forces in fighting ISIS). They

You absolutely have to be conscious of reactivity and how that stuff works in React as well. This is complexity that you as a dev have to deal with in some way. Svelte and React makes different tradeoffs in how they expect developers to dea

My frustrations with AMP (as a user) was originally what pushed me to DuckDuckGo. Now I rarely encounter AMP-versions of sites.

It's frequently brought up in radical leftist discourse* (marxism, anarchism, etc…) or even center-left discourse (social democracy, social liberalism, etc…). AFAICT it seems to be taboo outside these circles. * I should mention that m

If you want to be realistic about your actual effect on the environment that's literally what you have to do. This is not some abstract game to be won. This making real changes in the real world. And no: when the stakes are this high,

I really like the idea, but personally I got better results simply binding back and forward buttons to keyboard macros for 'ctrl -' and 'ctrl shift -' using Logitech‘s G-Hub software. The shortcuts 'ctrl -' and

Anarchist societies certainly have rules and means of enforcing them, but the process of how the rules are radically more democratic than any liberal democracy. Look up EZLN or Rojava if you want to see practicing anarchist-like societies

Yeah, it's really funny how anarchism has this reputation for disorganisation. The anarchists I've met are super nerds about what is good democratic process going down to intricate details of how it all should be organised. I gues

Anarchists in general are quite negative to the prison system and often believes in alternatives, or at the very least tries to come up with alternatives (hard as that might be). That being said, there are certainly situations where people

That’s because all the other kinds of anarchism: anarcho-communism, left wing market anarchism, primitivism, syndicalism, individualist anarchism (unrelated to right-wing libertarianism), communalism, etc… they all agree that anarchism is f

With the exception of anarchism being anti-capitalist. Any ‘anarchist’ that is pro-capitalism is generally not regarded as anarchist by the wider anarchist movement. Fun fact: befor the modern US meaning, libertarian used to mean anarchist-

Anarchists obviously don’t think this will come about by itself, they simply believe that it is possible to organize society in such a way that the statement above holds true. Anarchists will generally argue that todays society prevents tha

It’s the statism as a way to out of capitalism they’re critical of. Anarchists tend to agree with Marx’ analysis of capitalism.

Because sometimes a software project has specific problems which Rust specifically address. (Not that I'm personally a big fan of all these call to rewrite in Rust posts, there's a reason the Rust subreddit discourages ”X should b

I don’t think there is any service I’ve been more happy with the last decade than this one. The (optional) PDF archival in particular is great. I also appreciate that since I pay for it and it’s not freemium or anything, it won’t go away in

If you want to read a critique of modern industrialization and it impact on nature and society by someone who’s not a violent terrorist and has solutions beyond blowing shit up Murray Bookchin is probably a betyer bet.

I tried turning off smoothing and frankly the text was uncomfortably thin to read. I guess maybe their font should just be bolder by default so you don't need the glyph dilation to compensate.

Yeah I have to say I agree. I think there was valid reasons for some of the framework churn early on (basically no proper standard way to do client side GUI). When the MVC-oriented stuff started to stabilise we all discovered that functiona

I know it's tempting to do the whole ”oh that's a problem over in terrible USA” (a very common european way of thinking) but I'd be careful about it. Granted I think european police is less violent than US (a low bar), but to

Even if you don't experience discrimination based on body size, enough people do that it's become a subject and there are dedicated activists working to end discrimination based on size. Additionally however, I don't understa

No, it's a different institution based on different ways of organising power. For another example of this see Civil Defense Forces in Rojava[0] which are organized democratically. http://hawzhin.press/2020/06/

Anyone I've talked with that believed in abolishing police understood that it would need to be replaced by some kind of other institution. Suddenly removing the police like that is therefore not a valid way to consider the abolishment

In Rojava (anarchist autonomous region in Syria) there are been efforts to replace the police with a better institution. More information: http://hawzhin.press/2020/06/01/how-to-abolish-the-police-le...

Frankly I find TypeScript with strict mode turned on to be a safer and saner than C# and Java because of explicitly nullable types alone. I _never_ get null pointer exceptions in my own TypeScript code. Combined with fairly strict ESLint yo

Is it possible to use Solid with just plain JavaScript/TypeScript (like using createElement with React)? I generally find those far more readable than JSX (and is one of the reasons I think SwiftUI and Flutter code looks nicer than Rea
