I know that was why i said name/logo :P

I saw the similarity, wrote "joost" and saw it was the same.

Love your name/logo :)

Disclaimer: I am transgender and i have done actual research on transgenderism a couple years back.

I have seen this firsthand on some acquaintances. Social media has a massive influence on people and there are some persons specifically that have a weaker sense of identity (usually associated with poor development or some mental disorder like schizophrenia, STPD, or BPD), and those persons can be influenced to the point of actually, legit molding their own identity by their own media consumption.

This consumption in most people only plants seeds that will lead to questioning or trying stuff, but won't have a long-lasting impact on their core identity. So for most people this kind of exposition will be something either transitory or will just provide awareness. People grow out of it and it actually it's "just a phase" for many.

So yes people can learn to have a new identity if they don't have a strong core identity formed yet or if it is weak or broken enough.

OTOH, i am unsure what do you mean by a statistical over-representation of GD. There are no bounds set for deviation of the norm for the general population (i.e. normalized rate of growth of % of population that is transgender is not an outlier vs the rate of growth of other emergent behaviors afforded by greater overall inclusion and reduction of discrimination). The places where it is statistically over-represented, like on people within the Autism Spectrum, are under investigation.

In any case the risks of social media brainwashing are not restricted to stuff like disorders but go way beyond and i think the solution to this stuff is, like for many other things, more education and awareness of risks, tradeoffs, what is gender, what is identity, and how they work both intrinsically and within the bounds of social interactions.

As sibling comments said, 50% faster means adding 50% of the nominal speed, so it's 1.5x the original magnitude.

200% faster means 3x the nominal speed:

You're adding speed ("going faster").

You're adding a 200% of speed, which is twice the nominal speed (the 100%). Given the nominal speed is 1x and you're adding 2x, you end with triple the magnitude of the original nominal speed.

If you're on 110V you should care about the current limits

Most comments here seem to lean a lot into the lawfulness aspect and that the individuals should be prosecuted, but the platform should be left to its own devices.

But the fat is that organizing criminal activities is a criminal activity! Having a whole platform where there is rampant, blessed-by-the-mods organized crime is not something acceptable. Even if you give credence to the idea that this activity is not representative of the platform as a whole, it is responsibility of the platform to prevent crime being harbored there, just like in any other business.

Morals and ethics are a complex thing, impossible to "solve" in a perfect way, and both restriction and freedom have their costs and benefits for everyone. Maybe instead of understanding this events as the demise of freedom, we could understand them better as a way to learn --as a society-- how to manage this balance properly.

- There also is Paxos[0] as the most significant option.

- You should not have too many nodes to make a decision, this is usually reserved for leaders; if you have a large distributed system you may clusterize them or forward decisions to leaders, whom decide for consensus. If you clusterize, the leaders for each node can also be selected by consensus. If you can't do any of those then having a consensus protocol might not even be a good idea; you'd end up with a sort of merkle tree (or some sort of blockchain) to make sure all the data is registered, or maybe audit transactions. In any case this[1] might be interesting.

First, sorry for being so rude in my previous comment, and what i might put here. There is a lot of misinformation out there (and in the article) and it hurts people in very tangible ways. Stigma and misinformation can very literally kill.

There is a lot of inaccurate information, and a lot of unknowns being taken as fact in this article.

For starters, almost any model of the mind based on ideas of wither Freud or Jung have been thoroughly... i won't say "disproven" because there is no proof for any of this within reach of humanity so far, but they are effectively useless. Those models don't account for a lot of things, lead to wrong outcomes in others, and overall they are a bad way to describe what's going on inside the psyche of a person.

Some characteristics of those models can be inherited into newer models, but basing anything off them will lead to routes that won't be representative of the way the mind of a person works, whether is neurotypical or not.

Having this in the middle of the article demolishes whatever credence one might hope to sustain about what it further develops.

As you point out, the "voices" that schizophrenic people might hear are not a simple auditory hallucination; though just saying it's reasonable to say they are actual selves is taking an idea in a very simplistic way. Here is where the issue begins, a person not versed whatsoever in psychology reads the article and believes as gospel what is said here in a very simplified way, the nuance is lost in the middle.

Whether the voices of a person with schizophrenia, schizotypal disorder, or schizoaffective disorder might actually be discriminated as having the same qualities as a disembodied being, is dependent on the specifics on the case, how is it treated, and how other comorbidities might interact with it. Things regarding mental illnesses are extremely messy and extremely hard to grasp even for trained professionals with specific experience in the area (years to find a psychiatrist qualified enough to treat my partner. years!).

The article contains a lot more bad sources, inaccurate understanding of the self and the inner dialogue (that not even everyone has) and has a haphazard mixture between pop-psych and neuroscience that conflates things that are pertinent to a certain domain as generalizable or universal.

I'm sorry but this is not good and it's not as simple as correcting a thing or two about schizophrenia, because when i read the whole thing it screams "i don't really know what i'm talking about but i will throw a bunch of sources and topics and pretend i do". Maybe you're knowledgeable about this stuff and just the process of simplifying things for the article butchered everything, or maybe you don't really have much idea about what you're writing. In any case if you want i can give you some books/papers/sources, or chat about the subject, feel free to contact me.

And again, sorry for being so rude earlier.

The perspective presented re: schizophrenia is awful too.

The author appears to be very ignorant of the last 20? 30? years of research in both schizophrenia and DID. I can tell just at a glance both by having professional experience in those areas, and by having to deal with both disorders of them every day (my life partner has both DID and schizophrenia).

Making this sort of publications without actually acquainting with the state of the art is dangerous, reckless, and frankly just plain insulting.

Freudian/Jungian psychology and its derivatives have done enough damage already, let them die.

Completely agree. You don't even have to go much further than reading the title with some more intent; How is having a "Clear and Simple Design" not a way of architecting a project?

I have two NVIDIA GPUs in my main machine, and last year i set up a box with three GPUs, all NVIDIA, for a multiseat config. The box worked just fine both in multihead as in multiseat.

NVIDIA can be a pain, but most of the wrinkles are ironed out, unless you have very old (or very new) cards

Yes, developer experience. I thought it was a common term, maybe not so much.

And I agree, it's a great term :)

Gulp is practical to insert extra behavior if you have a multi-step build process and are allergic to Webpack. Just write a gulpfile and spawn whatever you need spawning, like some glorified bash that is already in JS so you don't need to manage more languages.

This reminds me so much of MithrilJS, and i also remember how terribly unergonomic it was, a terrible DX. The Vite JSX plugin is nice tho, I can see myself using this for something, but i will probably get tired of the ergonomics once i hit some complex component.

I am currently in early stages of writing a lightweight reactive framework more of the likes of Alpine and there are some things in this source that can prove fruitful. The rendering process is one of the most interesting things here imo.

Very few people here in Argentina actually hedged against inflation with cryptocurrency, it's always USD, EUR, precious metals or high-ticket items (like guns). Regarding the subset of people that actually engages with cryptocurrency, most of them are in it to make a buck, not prevent their money from losing value. Similar story for some Venezuelan folks i know.

To be fair, cryptocurrency as a way for transferring money is excellent; people here move money with Bitcoin, which can be immediately converted into foreign fiat, avoiding the absurd exchange rates and taxes the government imposes. In my opinion that is something that could be done with any black/grey market tool for transferring value, and as I see it, currently cryptocurrency is filling that niche because of network effects, not because of its inherent properties.

Genetic modification delivered via mRNA? There are some biohackers that do that sort of stuff, so it would imply at least some feasibility

Wacom tablets and sound hardware usually run out of the box on any updated/modern linux, so you'd probably be fine

Typing this from a MacBook Air 2013 running ArchLinux :)

You just flash the installer of your favorite distro (don't use ventoy) to a USB and install as usual.

X11 Keyboard extension system (which i need for my custom layout) is basically garbage on Wayland; some other extensions that are needed to enable small functions in other aspects (not just screen composition) also don't work or behave poorly outside X11. I really dislike X and i would ditch it in a heartbeat if a good alternative existed.

I tried hard to love Wayland but it's just not there yet. I hope it will be sooner, debugging why my keyboard stopped working because a C header file changed slightly in a semi-unrelated package upgrade is very not fun, and yet that's the best there is.

Geniune question:

¿Is there any difference in practice between "autonomy" and "se paration" in the context of governance here?

I think the GP points to the fact that given the inability of computers to evaluate the consequences of its programming, ruthlessness is a concept that cannot apply to them because by definition involves disregard about those consequences, not ignorance.

Gold is a noble metal; bts low reactivity and stability make it excelent as a material to have in constant contact with the body.

I am allergic to most metals, and only highest purity surgical stainless steel, surgical titanum, and noble metals can come in constant contact with my skin without generating rashes. I can only wear piercings made of surgical titanum, gold and platinum.

Gold is extremely ductile, malleable, and is very easy to amalgamate, alloy, and mix with other metals.

This and other minor properties, plus the aesthetic factor, is what makes it the best material for jewelry; it's extremely easy to work with, it's safe to use, it won't react under normal circumstances, degrade or get ruined by time.

I don't know any alloy that has similar properties that isn't either super expensive, has a different color, or io hard to worx with.

there is an extension that lets you set arbitrary css in VSCode, albeit it's a bit cumbersome to use.

Religious beliefes provide a strong moral compass as a semi-coherent set that lets you define stances about a lot of things in your life without having to gs through the hassle and difficulties of building them. As long as it's a serious belief and adherence to the provided guidelines and not just posturing used to justify decadent conducts.

I am not religious and personally i think is best to develop this on your own than taking a prepackaged system, but the utility and practicality of having ssmething already done and battle-tested is undeniable.

Just like you don't need to reinvent the wheel and write a complex library on your own when there's one available, sometimes is best to just use a prepackaged beliefs set and moral system to follow.

Many people are even unable to produce that on their own and epd up disparaged, aimless, living their lives without any understanding of right, wrong, good, bad, moral, immoral.

For what religions are and what they do provide, i personally think some branches of buddhism are better, like the Sokka Gakkai International's approach provides.

I don't agree with the sentence that religious scholars are the best psychologists because they only can provide guidance inside what fits this prepackaged framework-for-living they adopted, and in many many cases (i.e. mentall illnesses, deep issues, moral hardship in grey areas, etc) they are unable to effectively help in any significant way.

Good news is that psychology isn't incompatible with religion and both can coexist peacefully, and one can get the best of both worlds wathout thinking one is best; they work in different ways and provide different things, and IMO they aren't directly comparable, as a psychologist cannot help you very well in terms of religion, and a religious scholar cannot help you very well in terms of psychology (except for the thinfs that fit witin the religious framework chosen).

So all in all, i agree that religion as a valid choice and should be part of discourse, as sometimes it can very well be the best course of action.

Just don't agree with throwing blanket statements of what's best or not in a world as plastic and complex as the one we live in.
