It’s strange you wouldn’t lead with the premise that it’s both.
There are plenty of bigots here, but the bigot movements are growing. How do they grow? By tricking or convincing people.
I generally agree with you, though, and those are the mechanisms by which they’re tricked or convinced, or primed for it.
UH!
Killing in the name by rage against the machine
God I miss having flagship phone that would fit into my hand.
Also I miss windows phones. Fuck Microsoft, but they tried something different and imo it worked if you went in with an open mind.
Have you?
Is your argument that compilers need to change their output based on the way that text gets displayed to users? That’s a pretty wild claim to make.
Ah yes, the Mississippi, the only river with 7 tributaries in the world. Of course.
I prefer the fi.
Fi with only a little sci is still entertaining.
Sci without only a little fi is just a fictional service manual.
It’s fine to like harder sci-fi, but don’t denigrate soft sci-fi just because you don’t like it. Soft scifi is no sloppier in allegory than hard sci-fi is. There are only 7 stories.
everyone except me is hiding the truth about what they really feel, but I know the truth!
That’s the position you’re going to double down on, in the face of everyone correcting you? No, the therapist won’t think you’re crazy at all.
You think you’ve found a gotcha, but you’re still just outing yourself. You think that a romantic relationship involves a single type of attraction, and that a single type of attraction affects sexual arousal? If I believed you capable of long term romantic relationships, I’d pity your spouse.
The connections she made on set are how Jack Black got his start Hollywood
It’s cooking spray.
Look at the serving size.
Thats not what I’m talking about.
python is one of the few popular languages where presentation is semantic but I’m talking about separating semantics from presentation. you should be able to radically change how you see the code without actually changing the file.
I should be able to apply a personal style to the code and view it with small indentations, or large indentations, with line widths of 80char or 120char, function args within parentheses or not. I should even be able to localize it into another natural language, or even view and edit it as a flow chart instead of text, all without actually changing the underlying file that contains the semantics.
That’s way jargon is. If a field uses too much jargon, it raises the bar for entry unreasonably high. Instead of having a decent but imperfect understanding of something, you have no understanding.
Code semantic should be separate from code presentation.
In other words, tabs vs spaces is a stupid argument.
We’ve learned that separating semantics and presentation is good for the code we write but we’ve never bothered to apply it to languages. Everyone on the team should be able to apply their own formatting preferences without affecting the underlying file.
No, they will.
You unilaterally claimed that nobody is attracted to intelligence, that everyone is just pretending and they’re really only attracted to physical appearance. Even as hyperbole, that is a wildly unhealthy thing to believe, and you absolutely called yourself out.
This song says it perfectly:
We made AI so we could do the fun stuff
While it could do the dumb stuff
But now it does the fun stuff
And we’ve become the dumb stuff
It’s taking all the interesting and fun creative work, leaving people to make sure all the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted.
You’ll be able to afford it with all the overtime you’ll be able to do!

If you’re unable to engage people in a reasonable way, then you’re just as much of a problem as I am regarding progressing equality. People who mostly agree with you don’t deserve a novel belittling them via straw man.
Im not one for centerism and half measures, and I fully get the idea of the paradox of tolerance; but you’re exhibiting conservative purity culture, which is the very real failure to deconstruct our upbringing that causes progressive movements to constantly self destruct.
