Do you want to read hacker news or be hacker news?

relax

harping

I don’t accept the characterization of being thorough as harping, or that anyone would need to be unrelaxed for that. Is that ironic with me being told to assume good faith?

assume good faith and be civil.

I did.

Twice in two comments foldr quoted from a source. Both of those quotes are literally right next to another sentence in the source which is exactly the opposite of what foldr asserted.

The Affila wikipedia page section titled “Grievance studies affair” is four sentences long. The sentence right before foldrs quote, which is the first in the section is this.

In October 2018, it was revealed that the journal had accepted for publication a hoax article entitled "Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism."

The New Discourses link does say the paper was rejected from a specific journal in the first footnote which is . The second footnote says the article was accepted. Both footnotes quoted here:

Peer reviewed and rejected by Feminist Theory

Accepted by Affilia , August 21, 2018

At this point I am no longer sorry for not assuming good faith from someone arguing that a reformulation of kompf could be “not that bad”.

We're not in youtube comments here

Be civil.

Oh, and here's a rather important detail. The paper was rejected!

From the link you provided - “Accepted by Affilia , August 21, 2018”

Don’t lie.

they submitted coherent papers that they considered absurd

I’ve never heard anyone describe Mein Kampf as coherent. The ramblings of an asshole clearly abusing stimulants would be closer to the usual.

Of course some things that Hitler said won't be awful if you literally change the key words in the sentence

The idea that swapping around the group being discussed is all it would take to make it not awful is, well, novel if nothing else.

The impact of test prep is commonly overstated.

According to Washington Post and Slate, both being rather progressive, SAT prep might improve scores 10-20 points on average, with greater effect on the math section. There is a paper on the ACT website suggesting 30-60 points.

Downward adjustments for high performing demographics can be double that.

A cup of coffee would probably see similar or better improvements than test prep.

How does “power of attorney” have any relevance here?

It doesn’t and that’s Earl’s point. That would be the best way for them to have any standing, but it just doesn’t line up.

bang to run a command is from ed. thats pretty core vi

I’m semi-sure that this is possible with .tar.gz files already. I’ve used vim to view a text file within a few different rather large archives without noticing the machine choke up on extracting several gigs before showing content. Certainly nothing was written to disk in those cases.

Why should you couple your archive format to a compression algorithm?

In at least one location in the US they did this to mitigate ore dust traveling via wind near a plant.

presumably work accounts are paid

For the most part, people who don’t address Covid as a risk do so because they don’t see it as a risk. That’s different than choosing to avoid risk.

There’s a great Kubecon talk on Queueing Theory if you want a bit more:

That sounds like a great argument for subsidizing teacher and social worker education instead of the wholesale forgiveness of student debt which includes people with degrees in poetry and pottery. Poetry and pottery are both valuable to society, but honestly a lot of the people who are good at those things don’t have matching degrees. Also, forgiving loans for pottery degrees competes with our ability to subsidize education for teachers.

In an economic context, why would it not be fair to judge the economic worth of someone’s degree on the basis of that degree’s ability to influence their earnings?

From a place of total ignorance, why would telegraphing a particular false strategy to your competitor in order to get them to respond in a way that is profitable to you be illegal?

Do you understand the difference between searching an individual you know had committed a crime and searching pool of people that might contain an individual?

No hyperbole needed, and only one way is present :)

There’s a meaningful difference between the government getting a warrant to look for a specific person’s DNA and searching everyone’s DNA to see if it’s a match. Why should the government get to digitally “stop and frisk” three hundred thousand people because they have a hair sample from a murder scene?

The article explicitly mentions that students use an app called Remind. I would not call this, along with the web portal etc, social media per se, but it does approximately fulfill the ISocialMedia interface.

How can social media be a subset of the more widespread problem and the title of the article be correct? The article also does a poor job of framing the school apps as part of a wider problem with those technological behaviors. Looking back over the piece, I can’t find it. The argument appears much more to be “no, not social media, it’s school” without the framing.

Author claims it isn’t social media, then proceeds to describe the use of what is effectively social media applications where students communicate with their school and teachers. The apps are noted as a problem due to their notifications and because it’s more difficult to leave school at school since the app is on their phone. Curiously, this is similar to what Jonathan Haidt points out as one of the big negatives of social media.

Rich people disproportionately represent spent money might be more accurate.

“Rich people” is a relatively small category of money spenders.

The keyword there was “contrast.”

As long as the known wins are bigger than the known abuses.

There’s also the question of whether people understand and care about potential, or if it would need to happen first.

Which technologies were those?

I’m only vaguely familiar with FreeBSD, and not at all with Solaris.

Gotta euthanize the presence of the situations unwanted features somehow. “Filter bubble” does a nice job.

Customers should pay a premium for the driver to not park a block and a half from them at pickup?

What does this give you over the `include` directive?
