You are talking about a guy who shoots off stuff like the "pedo guy" tweet. Acting like a petulant child will catch flak.

I'm afraid I am still unable to see where you have been able to make the connection in a satisfactory manner. I do concede that you have found something which says the definition is not the same for everyone. Otherwise the definition you listed in quotes is about intentional use of force. The other definition is specifically called "psychological violence" in the part you quoted. There too, I have on complaint and no disagreement. That, however, is not the same as "violence". To be able to communicate the concept you had in mind, without conflating the two, that part you quoted specifically adds the qualifier "psychological". With that qualifier, I think it's just easier to communicate and we probably wouldn't even be having this long exchange.

Nothing more than you substantiating your claim. If it is indeed as you say, then the honourable thing for me to do would be to concede that my confidence was misplaced.

I'm afraid we are in disagreement again. I'm merely challenging your definition which naturally preceded my challenge as I do not yet possess unusual foresight.

Is the "us" like the royal "we"?

I like how this works. Just make claims and they become true.

There are other words to describe different concepts. If you want to conflate disparate things, I still don't see how you intend to have others go along with you. I'll wait till I hear news of a violent offender where the accusation was of consuming too much of a resource.

I still stand by the analogy I used. This is no different than taking a word that people associate with something negative and expanding its use to refer to something else. I did not intend to "tease" your royal highness.

by violating the receiver's privacy?

How do you plan to get others to go along with your interesting definition of violence? It sounds very much like something coming from fanatical "meat is murder" folks - at which point, it becomes hard to place trust in what the person is saying because one begins to doubt his/her motives.

Perhaps we could go even further and say that people are inherently not inclined to kill one another and the legal system only steps in when such exceptional events do occur.

(Here, I'm only talking about murder and not what is a "tribe" attacking another, which happens even now. For instance, a nation invading and bombing another nation, drone-bombing wedding parties or religious extremists trying to take over a nation etc.)

Social settings are not the same as meetings at work. I don't mind sitting back quietly and in fact prefer others carrying the conversations when in a social setting. My point of view above was only about official meetings. Work shouldn't be an environment where one can only be heard by being rude (interrupting).

In some groups, you'll never get your turn. As an experiment, I once counted how many half-second (or more) pauses there were in a meeting I had to attend at work. In half an hour (the duration of the meeting), there were none.

On the other hand, I agree with you. I see some people saying "interruption is ok". I disagree. It has to be an exception reserved for keeping the meeting on track. The normal course of things should be that everyone gets their turn to say their bit or to "pass". People who aren't able to wait for their turn or take too long typically will understand if you/the-manager have/has a brief chat with them later (or the person who called for the meeting should bring them back on track).

I've come to suspect a major reason people make silly non-falsifiable claims on the internet is to feel good about themselves and pat themselves on the back about how clever they are, though they may not acknowledge it.

Maybe I should try it more often. Definitely feels good.

Seeing your confidence in that outlook, if you permit me an intrusion, I'd go so far as to say, you probably could say "decided" instead of "realized" and it would be accurate.

There are decades ahead for most people at that age. And instead of starting from scratch like an infant, you already have a lot of things going for you. If you were a close friend, I'd have badgered you relentlessly to believe in yourself. I hope as an internet stranger, I can plant a seed of belief in your mind.

Most people are capable of far more than they believe. Good luck!

Consider it an entertaining exercise to try and come up with a way of looking at this which doesn't involve people who don't think like you do being labelled stupid.

One way to find at least one promising line of thought in that direction is to consider that every choice has a cost and not just a benefit.

> I'd say anyone who don't want to do that is just plain stupid.

Please elaborate.

I'm not the person to whom you have replied but I'd say one could look at it from another perspective. I do not like the invasion of privacy from having others look into my home when I haven't invited them to do so. So, when I have a choice, I'll always remove or replace the background.

You can alias that type into a simpler name and keep using that instead of bringing components into the current namespace (or the global one). I haven't done C++ in some years but this was definitely a part of C++11.

That's like saying 'Perhaps include "(France)" in the title' when talking about Paris. Football is well known all over the world and perahps the most popular spectator sport.

Do note that some of those "jets" are meant for cleaning the toilet and not for hygiene. When buying one, make sure you are getting the right one. The difference is indeed in the intensity with which the jet of water is ejected from the device.

Those claims are false. Cats are very affectionate creatures. They are not dogs and you shouldn't expect them to behave like dogs. They are not all the same and not all of them are cuddly (especially if they are not taught to share affection via touch since a young age) but if someone says that cats only like people who feed them, then I have to disagree based on my experience raising more cats than _most_ people.

However, I do concede that sharing food is an easy way to form a bond with an animal (including our very own species).

I assume you ask this question because you suffer from this condition. I had debilitating back pain. I (rather luckily) found an excellent physiotherapist. I followed his advice strictly and got out of that situation. He told me that the problem will never "go away" entirely in the sense that I have to work to keep it from recurring. If I don't stay active, then the pain will eventually return. What I found really helps to keep the problem (and many other musculoskeletal issues) away is doing squats and deadlifts. I learnt to do these from an excellent trainer who I found close to where I live. I am not talking about lifting immense weights like a powerlifter but just doing these with weights that were moderate gave me enough strength to not hurt myself with activities that demanded some strength. I also found that I am able to handle my motorcycle with much more ease as the whole body knows how to generate strength and coordinate itself better than before.

In short: When the problem was extreme - sought the help of an excellent physiotherapist. And once recovered - exercise to keep the problem at bay.

EDIT: Why I don't recommend doing exercises or stretches without consulting a good professional is that a good professional can tell you when you are "ready" for certain stretches, movements or exercises which would otherwise make the situation worse. Also of course s/he can evaluate your condition and tell you which ones are safe at which point of time. I didn't have many exercises for recovery. I had to do a handful but I didn't start with all of them and I had certain restrictions on movements in the beginning until I got a bit better and could do those safely.

EDIT2: Lifting weights also naturally improved my posture. I didn't even have to make conscious effort to maintain good posture when seated at the computer for instance. So, that is another way in which it prevents injury.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

Would you have a recommendation for such a mask? I have been looking for such a mask and haven't found a good option so far.

Please permit me to cast blame upon the medium we use. I intended no sarcasm.

I am not entirely confident in this but from my perspective, a simplistic reading of what you say appears to be "I want privacy but only if I don't have to endure even minor inconveniences for it."

This may never happen unless privacy was as profitable as selling data on people's behaviour.

My apologies if I have misunderstood you.

It's not often that one comes across a quote from one of the greatest works of art:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/12608-when-i-use-a-word-hum...

That whole conversation is quite interesting and perhaps this part can also be thought of as alluding to "prescriptivism versus descriptivism".

I worked in two kinds of places:

- In one, mentorship was deemed important and was part of the requirements of being a "senior" (or higher) in the tech track. Here, the connection with a mentor was sort of a "free for all" and one has to find a mentor and come to an agreement for a "project" or "goal" and one works towards that goal/project with the mentor's guidance. After that, the goal of that mentorship relationship is considered attained and you (could) start over.

- In another, there was no noise about mentorship. However, the way the reporting structure and work on projects was organised, it led to a phenomenon where everyone was working with someone their senior and someone who would be their senior's senior. So, "mentorship" just happened all the time in your work. You didn't have to look for it. It was just the way things were done.

The former, I found pretentious and absolutely useless. In the latter, I learnt so much and to this day, I have preserved some notes of things I have learnt from working with some people who are now considered industry leaders.

My suggestion is to seek out companies for whom technology is what drives their business and who work that way too. I'd also look for companies who don't make a lot of noise about these things and just structure work in such a way that you are always working with those who are keeping an eye on your work (and I don't mean looking over your shoulder) and can keep helping you grow as a natural part of work instead of having to seek this out outside of your regular work.

What you call "exploitation view" is at the very core of a capitalistic mindset.

"Failed to deprecate enough stuff"

Did you by any chance observe any of the folks involved officially saying that deprecating things was one of the goals? I thought keeping working code working has always been of the C++'s official goals.

And it's incredible what a brand yahoo has built since then...
