This may be a noob question - how do you go about filling in the other side of that abstraction in the JS (presumably) post transpilation? Is it just that you had a set of files in JS developed separately and the build/deployment system could inject those files in specific expected areas?

I think the sentence is best read as "a wild animal could not reach the city without crossing a road that is not considered part of vancouver proper". Seems clear that that's the intended meaning

Not OP but a city block isn't an entire city. If you read their comment again without prejudice you may be able to understand what they meant, even if it does require a little imagination.

It's a serious trip, yes. More (by far) than most people would recommend someone do recreationally for their first time - it appears that high doses accompanied by a therapist are what has shown the most promise across various exploratory trials.

Some non western countries have student/junior freelance developer populations comprised almost entirely of people using mobile devices for development. I imagine this will be a god send for them

Is it really the case in the UK that working in a position for 2 years is a requirement before it becomes illegal to fire a person for going home sick once? What a sorry state of affairs.

I can only speak for myself but given the choice I would never read an ebook on a digital screen over an e-ink screen. The difference to me is night and day. I have an older paperwhite and the backlight is truly wonderful, I imagine a newer model would improve on this (I believe they have a warmth adjustment setting which I would personally adore).

If you substitute those quoted words into the sentence I was responding to my meaning becomes less dramatic:

> The driver took over way before the car entered the crosswalk section.

+

> "Entered the crosswalk section" is a rather euphemistic way of describing "drove directly through where the people were going to be" reply

=

"The driver took over way before the car drove directly through where the people were going to be."

If you are right that the car stopped itself then it's certainly not as large an error as I had assumed. I think what I was mainly trying to communicate was simply a disagreement with the person I was responding to who implied there was little wrong with this behaviour at all.

I think it's the devil in the details here. "Was aborted by the driver" is the key thing, nobody is arguing this error was so bad it could have killed civilians even if the driver was responsible.

Read the comment and substitute in my words. I didn't imply what you're saying I implied

"Entered the crosswalk section" is a rather euphemistic way of describing "drove directly through where the people were going to be"

I see what you mean, but the first appears to be a PHP bug (unless I am misreading?).

The second, appears to be a tool for parsing a json blob which has been escaped and encoded as a simple string inside another json blob. That's certainly an interesting problem, and one that is likely to come up in a sufficiently complicated world - however it's not an issue with parsing JSON. It's an issue with parsing /any/ data structure or language that may contain strings and as such seems unavoidable.

> Has there ever been a case of anything nesting nicely, be it in languages, programming, or any other medium of writing? Maybe XML? I'm not sure.

JSON?

In case the developer sees it, on Firefox I'm not getting my key presses picked up approximately half the time when typing naturally for me. Which is probably faster than the average human but not fast for someone that is good at typing

I think you hand wave away the responsibility born by the Governments who regulate, control, and subsidise the arms trade.

Of course it is the fault of the user of the weapons as well - but UK and USA (to just name a couple more egregious examples) governments quite literally give money to foreign governments in order for them to funnel it directly back into arms deals. These weapons can then be used to destroy hospitals and schools in Yemen. Our governments are financing this loss of life in order to further propel the revolving door.

I see this kind of cyber weaponry as a simple subset of the above complex.

Similarly, for the fantasy nerds: "Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing."

I think it means avoiding prescription of addictive substances rather than helping addicts. Unless I'm reading your comment wrong?

Large venues can trivially have one large room full of urinals and another large room full of cubicles.

In my experience browsing HN almost daily, over the last year it has become something of an echo chamber for "anti woke" lines of thinking. I've seen little to no healthy discussion on the topic - by which I mean productive disagreement. It's usually just a top comment decrying twitter/etc and then a pile on of agreement.

If by "shouldn't matter" you mean something like "it's ridiculous to define what a woman is as having a capability that literally all women lose around middle age" then I'd have to count myself amongst those people. Your argument is an extremely weak one for defining what it means to be a woman.

That logic would also state that we should no longer call a man a man if he becomes infertile through choice (or otherwise), no?

> Messing about with mechanisms that are crucial to our survival should at least not be done lightly.

I disagree with this. Unsurprisingly so, given that I am non-conservative. I believe in personal choice over reproduction and I believe that this choice simply is more important than any tiny effect on societies survival - something that in fact means very little to me other than the 'coincidental' lack of suffering in people I care about/humanity in general. I'm not sure there's any objective value in the human race surviving, in fact if I could push a button that meant all humans would be incredibly fulfilled and lead happy lives and then naturally (peacefully, painlessly, etc) die out in 3 generations time I would certainly strongly consider doing so... I'm rambling now, though.

> the lack of acknowledgment by trans activists that that's what they're doing

I think that's because it's largely incidental - indeed, it doesn't stop them from becoming adoptive parents. It doesn't stop them from freezing sperm/eggs and creating children through more modern means. It may not even lead to infertility in many cases - I'll admit I don't know any detailed knowledge on that.

But most importantly their right to lead their life in whichever way they want, and to choose not to have children, is not especially relevant to anyone else. Nobody should be forced (or be guilted into) to have(ing) children.

2. Is definitely the counter argument I would use - if people have preferred pronouns then what is the ethical argument for ignoring those and using words that would cause them harm? If nothing else it seems to me to come down to basic decency and respect for others.

It's less about one term being "privileged" (I must confess that word seems slightly unclear to me in this context) over another and more about the ease of treating people the way they would like, with no real downsides that I can see.

Anecdotally, refusing to use a trans person's pronouns seems typically to be a dogwhistle for not respecting the existence/legitimacy of transgender people.

Your argument is somewhat tangential - are you arguing women are defined by their ability to give birth? Seems fairly obvious that doesn't hold up even when we aren't talking about trans people

It's possible to be against the idea of trans women competing in female competitive sports without intentionally misgendering all trans athletes/humans.

"In technical usage" means that this level of nitpicking isn't really accurate. When you say "they ran doom on a lamp" that isn't a piece of scientific literature. It's just conversational English and as such using the common dictionary definition of the word lamp as opposed to a technical definition is entirely appropriate.

Could you clarify what you mean by identity please?

I can see that argument for some of them, but if anyone said the slitty eyed or spear throwing comments to me and then tried to pass it off as "it's just british humour mate" I'd laugh in their face.

What would you characterize as a benefit? Medical, certainly. Recreationally, certainly (it feels good). Socially, I imagine so for some people and some doses.

Here's a reddit famous account from someone claiming to be an opiate addict that some find enlightening/haunting: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/wnj2d/iama_heroin_add...

Black market incentivises dealers doing things like mixing fentanyl into heroin in order to make it vastly more profitable (fentanyl is cheap and incredibly potent), with the side effect of increasing its deadliness massively.

Users often mix heroin with benzos and/or alcohol which increases the level of risk enormously. The vast majority of overdoses are caused by mixing CNS depressants in with heroin, not by heroin use alone.

If you can't get a steady supply then withdrawals are vicious and can cause a host of other problems (crime in order to get money for more heroin being a commonly cited one).

One of the ways that heroin itself can cause overdose deaths is relapses - users may take a dose that they were previously tolerant to. I believe this is still far less of a danger than combining with other substances.

This is what rocket league uses. While it can be unpleasant as a high ranked player to jump in a lobby with your much less skilled friend, overall the matchmaking system and equality of matches is in my opinion utterly fantastic
