On the other hand, people are much more finite in the amount of food that they require
My experience in doing so is limited, but I do know that this synchronization tends to be difficult and really like the idea of an explicit contract-based synchronization strategy.
It seems like a very big potential benefit but again, I don’t have enough direct experience doing too so be willing to put much stake in defending it.
I considered the possibility and discarded it, given that the word choices so strongly resemble poorly-spoken native English speakers whom I have personally known. But I could have confirmed by looking.
> This study showed Toxoplasma-infected and Toxoplasma-free participants of our cross-sectional study differed in three of four factors of PI34, scoring higher in Tribalism and lower in Cultural liberalism and Anti-Authoritarianism.
- Is the author referring to the infected or to the free group here?
> The stress-coping hypothesis suggests that many toxoplasmosis-associated changes, e.g., higher extroversion in infected women and lower in men, or lower suspiciousness of infected women and higher in suspiciousness of infected men (all in comparison to non-infected peers) can be interpreted as gender-dependent stress coping reaction.
- Using “among infected men/women” in place of “of” would add a lot of clarity here.
I believe I’ll stop reading the article.
Someone came along and added a note “do you have appropriate permission to reproduce this image?” And if I recall, both parts stayed up indefinitely.
When we would ask the teacher how we should arrange to do so as young school students, the response was always something like, “Suppose we change the subject …”
It would be much less aggravating to have an app which crashes on launch and never gives the appearance of doing anything, whatsoever.
I have no doubt that you could find an actual victim/target/member of a marginalized group to claim to be bothered by any of these phrases in the first person. But I'm also certain that members of such groups enjoy telling other people what to do just as much (on average) as all of humankind at large, which is to say a lot, and so a better standard of evidence is needed.
I've struggled to envision what such evidence would look like, but I think it will have to be someone who is better at devising experiments than me.
But I am not a historian and cannot reconcile the articles content with what you’re stating here.

Writing code to affect millions of people’s data, or controlling millions of people’s actions they can perform with software, has a lot in common with passing legislation that will affect millions of people, in terms of the edge cases and unintended consequences that you must consider beforehand.
Not to mention the potential for malicious actors.
I’m sure one could argue that member names should obviate the need for type annotations.
There’s also the distinct possibility that my preceding ~15 years of statically-typed software development have affected how I think about software development in some way. (wink)
But I am finding type annotations internet useful while working on a huge application that is about 2 years into adding a gradual typing system, enough so that I usually take time whenever I enter a new code area to add annotations to everything, just to understand what’s going on.
My perception is that I invest time to build understanding of the types, and then document what I’ve learned in the form of these type annotations so that future maintainers then gain a quicker understanding without having to do the initial research.
At least my non-statistically-significantly-sized team agrees.

I also spent about a decade in the U.S. Air Force, and even though I’ve been out 15 years now I still dream that I’ve forgotten my uniform hat, and separately that I get called back in and am fearful because I still have only the previous generation of uniform style, which was phased out years ago.
But a quick search for “FTC” suggests this might be an agency I’m interested in supporting.
But how does one go about doing so? How does one go about providing some sort of support to a one-or-more level removed regulatory agency?
Weaken the type system, reduce the automated test coverage, and you are likely to find that edge cases are addressed on more of a "who's currently yelling at us about what feature isn't working" basis, which will ultimately mean that fewer edge cases get addressed or are more likely to persist as undetected bugs, which could be either desirable or undesirable, depending on your domain.
I could say this episode alone hooked me on the whole world of podcasting in general.
