There's also the moving goalposts of what's considered "extremist", especially where it's reduced around extremely small confines of acceptability, and invoking long-tail assumptions as direct accusations of intent

I would say that's the most likely explanation. Plus, we see very similar things happen in primary education, where the loudest craziest parents cause the biggest potential PR/legal kerfuffles, so the schools often bend to them i

Not sure about everything in general, but games are specifically singled out as required to go through Apple's payment processing. Other non-gaming stuff might have different or more flexible options.

The fact that the standard model of computing is that applications are opaque machine code blobs that can access everything in your user permission space is the core problem in privacy and malware. Applications should see nothing but their

Yep. All of it is just emergent shorthand, and none of it makes literal sense. :) If we had some specifically correct terminology, it would likely be quite a mouthful, either including genetic terminology or some mix of geography and time

But CO2 isn't bad, nor is it a pollutant. The rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere is what's bad. I understand the intended implication, but the vernacular is pendulum swinging too far in the wrong way factually against CO2. Ni

The specific limit of free speech is where it causes legal damages to others. The particular form of authoritarian scaremongering on display tries to undefine that court-testable line to include any useful moral panic, but never really addr

Complaining about "the ever-growing list of regulatory failures, moral failures and outright abuses pushed in the guise of scientific expertise" does not read to me as dismissing the core scientific community itself. Plus, one cou

Even if you didn't learn this from linear algebra, doing any measure of graphics programming at the matrix level very directly reveals these sorts of associations as you see how the numbers accumulate, and get everything debugged. Chi

Unfortunately, there's a lot of slop in lego gears and axle holes, and quite a gap between blocks when affixed that don't line up when sliding together. I've used Lego stuff on the job for prototypes and experiments as well.

I think one problem is that some of these sorts of things always pop info up at you, instead of you the coder pressing a keystroke to have it help you. There's 3 different models that happen: 1. Type in the entire thing 2. Type in a u
