This exact thing happened to me. I went crazy for a week straight testing every other component of my PC. I was convinced it was the graphics cards drawing too much power. Then it was clear that my OS was corrupted and needed to be reinstalled.

Finally, I found an obscure forum post telling me about a firmware bug happening at ~5K hours of disk usage. I updated the firmware and haven't had an issue since.

"Shut down operations"...or what?

I am not sure. But surely drawing the line at what is and isn't political is much easier than attempting to state what is and is not true.

Why don't they just ban political ads altogether?

Virtue signaling doesn't mean solely expressing opinions...

I don't doubt their sincerity at all. I believe that companies selling apolitical software services should not care about policing what customers use their software. We are talking about software that tracks changes of software, not facial recognition or drone firmware. Obviously, Github believes otherwise.

This is virtue signalling according the very definition you provided. Just because they are also backing it up with money does not make not virtue signalling.

I'm simply tired of having politics injected into technology and software companies whose own software is itself apolitical.

Get virtue signaling out of software communities.

So should she not be concerned about this behavior? Does the fact that it stems from systemic racism and oppression make her any more safe from it?

The article starts by mentioning "less to do with misogyny".

My comment is about sexism, specifically misogyny (as used by the article).

You reply to my comment taking about how it can be plausible that it is misogyny.

I believe we are talking about misogyny.

What I wrote is not a strawman, it is the definition of misogyny. Perhaps you are conflating this with sexism. The article used the word misogyny, so that is what I am using.

How would that be a case of misogyny, then?

I (unfortunately) cannot access this paper because it is behind a paywall, but surely it must be satire?

I understand why it might be considered a joke, but it doesn't make sense (and is not funny), because the subject in question is not human.

So the argument would be the the (male) paleontologists, museum curators, etc. had such a burning hatred for women that they chose male specimens to cultivate and display?

I don't see the humor.

> "This has less to do with misogyny"

How did they shoehorn in sexism into an article about animals? This has nothing to do with misogyny because animals are incapable of reason.

I agree! But also being able to compromise so that you still can wield influence is important. For example, if an American company (such as Google) does not fill the need for this service for China, that leaves the door open for other countries to fill this void -- countries which America might not want to be furnishing this service.

Are you serious? You need statistics or personal stories to know that people's lives have been upended by either dying themselves or having someone close to them killed or injured by an impaired driver?

The world is not absolute. It would be nice to be able to take an absolutist, moral stance against things I disagree with. But as I get older, I realize that one must be able to compromise and see in shades of grey.

The question was not if having context justifies the action, but rather if having context helps better understand the reasons this happened.

Yes?

My opinion is that someone is going to be providing that service, so it might as well be me (better the devil you know than the devil you don't).

Is this not standard practice for how countries trade with each other?

If the old hacker news server in this example were to crash, wouldn't that mean they lost the context of their continuation)? Wouldn't this mean it is better to use the discrete data as the continuation (which they achieved by realizing all the continuations in code)?

The U.S. ensures the safe maritime trade of goods and services around the world. Many European counties do not need to (heavily) invest in their own armed forces because the U.S. is able to provide the necessary protection. These reasons are why I made my previous claim.

Europe endures and prospers at the expense of the US military forces.

Why does it have to be a competition of loss? The student loan issue is something that should be addressed in and of itself. The constant whatabout-ism when it comes to the less privileged/wealthy (and especially when it comes to being a white male versus a PoC) is exactly what I am complaining about. It feels as if the middle class is constantly being told that our problems don't matter because we have just enough to do OK for ourselves.

This plan cancels all student loan debt; It does not matter what percentage of income-earners hold the debt. God forbid something nice happen for the middle class. It's really tiring to have scraped by, worked hard to get where I am, and be told I'm JUST privileged (white, male, income) enough to not qualify for any sort of government assistance.

Yeah, that was a typo: I meant shared. Sorry!

I personally have ported about 20K LoC from a java application to go; the majority of the code was from an underlying library used to model the data structures being used. It was mostly a class-by-class, function-by-function process of porting the base data structure and then all of its implementations, and culminated with the port of the services which uses all of it.

Regarding the author's frustration of moving POJOs over (and their variable declarations), I used sublime text to select all variables based on a shard token, then cut them and moved them over by word. You can then lower case the first letters of every word, and then find-and-replace by type using a shared token. I found this method very quick and effective.
