Many discriminatory policies could be considered rational. It is rational for jobs to discriminate against handicapped people who require extra affordances to be able to do the same job (for example, wheelchair ramps).

“Fair” is a much trickier beast! My favorite approach to conceptualizing fairness is Rawls’ veil of ignorance: if you were going to be placed as a random member of society, rather than your current position, and you would still support a policy given this change, then the policy is fair. Knowing that, beyond the veil of ignorance, I may be a paraplegic, would I still support dismantling the ADA’s wheelchair accessibility requirements?

Primogeniture in any form is discriminatory precisely since birth order is an immutable, permanent, unchosen characteristic assigned randomly at birth, just like race or sex.

"bring back idiomatic design" doesn't help when we don't have enough idioms

One must always research and find the dominant or most applicable idioms for whatever they're doing. Are you building a command line tool? For which platform? What other similar tools are you basing its design on? You have to check yourself and see whether your software conforms to the idioms of the platforms, communities, etc that you're targeting.

Yeah, the consensus of a plurality of users of a Silicon Valley startup incubator heavily associated with the right wing is definitely the only opinion that matters about the subtext of a film.

Every single quality of life improvement for the working class, from minimum wage, to overtime, to weekends, was delivered by the left. Please tell me one thing that the right has accomplished for laborers.

America didn’t mandate eugenics in the movie

Correct! It mandated eugenics in real life, in the early 20th century. I didn't say that the movie shows eugenics happening. I said "the film itself implies that the idiocracy is due to stupid people breeding more, a classic tenet of Nazism and eugenics alike." Work on your reading comprehension.

The film wasn't about education, it was about genetics, as the intro makes abundantly clear. And the Redditors who get themselves hot and bothered about this film aren't laughing, they're congratulating themselves on being the intelligent ones instead of the dysgenic stupids while crowing about how "Idiocracy is a documentary" -> stupid people are overbreeding.

Nazi Germany and America, for two, lmao

The movie obviously doesn’t depict a eugenics program, but it makes the core argument of eugenics: if human breeding is left uncontrolled it will lead to “stupid” people breeding more.

Voting for the right as a member of the working class is truly idiotic. Not that most people on this site have ever dipped below PMC treatlerite comfort.

What sort of a response do you think a movie whose premise is “dumb people have overbred and made the world worse” is intended to provoke?

No, because that’s natural selection, not artificial selection by an authoritarian government. Hope this helps!

Because the film itself implies that the idiocracy is due to stupid people breeding more, a classic tenet of Nazism and eugenics alike

Why do Redditors and tech people love comparing things to this weird, pro-eugenics movie so much?

Why is it sad to want an app?

I won’t use your web app. The app version has better performance, lower memory usage, is more idiomatic and looks better.

an endless and futile journey on solving the human condition of poverty and inequality

It’s very telling that you think poverty can’t be solved.

I can't pay no doctor bills

But whitey's on the moon

Ten years from now I'll be payin' still

While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night

Cause whitey's on the moon

No hot water, no toilets, no lights

But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me?

Cause whitey's on the moon?

Well I was already giving him fifty a week

With whitey on the moon.

Rest in peace Gil-Scott Heron.

History will not be kind to you and your ilk. Quit your job.

Many Useless Uses of cat in this documentation. You never need to do `cat file | foo`, you can just do `<file foo`. cat is for concatenating inputs, you never need it for a single input.

Why include writing the primes to a file instead of, say, standard output? That increases the optimization space drastically and the IO will eclipse all the careful bitwise math

Does having the primes in a file even allow faster is-prime lookup of a number?

Idiocracy really seems to appeal to eugenicists. Is “stupid people breed too much” really an issue we think is worth propagating?

I'd rather use a TUI than a web UI.

What did you patent

Nothing to help out a thankless maintainer like allowing companies to use his work wholesale while contributing nothing back! Enjoy your nice things

It seems that with vibe coding our industry has finally, permanently embraced the latter approach. RIP Tony.

Oh okay, so you’re not even aware of the features I’m talking about. I’m so glad I’m able to tolerate corner radiuses.

"Literally everything" Can you give some examples? "Inconsistent corner radius" isn't UX, it's UI. It affects nothing about the experience.

Yes, nothing says Marxism like shilling for the most valuable corporation in history. That's definitely the reason why I'm talking about cool new features in Tahoe.

Why would I use Raycast when Spotlight has those features built in, and unlike Raycast can directly call Shortcuts?
