If they only had a native Mac application.

I love Notion, but the Mac client feels so sluggish, I didn’t investigative but looks like a web view or Electron or something similar.

As I have already told you the yelling fire thing is essentially a rhetorical device, that has been used to promote suppression of free speech to a much larger extent.

I don’t think I even care, but please be honest about it and tell people why and what you would ban.

I am sure that, like every one using the arguments you are using, you would suppress free speech much more than that!

Be open and direct, we still have free speech my friend!

No need to hide between rhetorical devices.

The yelling fire example is an extreme edge case, and it’s usually used by people who would like to limit freedom of speech much more than that.

I’ve never heard it being used genuinely not even once.

I find it irritating: you don’t want freedom of speech? State than openly and tell me why.

> From what I read, these are only useful if you're sick and trying to reduce transmission.

Governments have been telling this, as well, but it cannot be 100% true. I supposed it was a white lie to prevent people from stockpiling.

Otherwise, there would be no use in medical personnel using masks.

I can understand that face masks might not be the best measure for healthy people, I can understand that they might not be super-effective, I can also understand that only certain types of masks are effective, but I cannot rationally believe all masks are completely useless.

That’s quite a stretch. And it shows how limited your comprehension of the topic is.

Clearly, the money that goes to starving children comes from a different Department, and they are on different budgets. You just cannot move money like that.

And I still think that rather than giving a silly paternal leave, a longer maternal leave would be much more desirable.

Money is limited and the government decides how to distribute it. The difference between spending it on B and taking it away from A is, to me, absolutely unsubstantial.

Why not increasing the maternal leave then? I would highly prefer that!

Some money is spent into this, I would rather see the money being spent to increase mother’s leave.

The government is putting some money in it. I would prefer that money was used to extend the mother’s leave.

Thanks but no thanks.

When I’ll have a baby I‘ll have to breastfeed, after having carried him for nine months, and having him exit through my private parts.

Give me my extended, non trasferrable maternal leave!

Edit: since some people are misunderstanding my point: extending the paternal leave costs money. I would rather prefer those money being spent on more maternal leave.

That’s unnecessarily patronizing.

> even a single person being offended is one too many

I am offended by snowflakes. Go find something more inclusive, you insensitive clod!

Swimming?

> I did not dare to speak my thoughts to anyone apart from very few colleague friends.

I completely agree with your positions, and I am also “undercover”.

I wonder how many of us are there...

The choice works for 99% of people, and it’s always very clearly stated. If you have any problem with the default choice, I am sure the organizers will do their best to accommodate your request.

The same holds for special dietary requests, special assistance, people arriving late or leaving earlier, people traveling with partners, with children, etc...

I don’t want to be rude, but please just realize that usually the defaults try to accommodate as many persons as possible, and then there’s always the possibility to ask.

Do you have any better solution? I would be interesting in hearing what you think!

Some conferences are in locations with restricted accommodation facilities, and if you don’t specify a roommate, you are paired with someone of your gender.

So that’s why the gender might be needed.

As far as the preferred pronouns are concerned, I see them as something with heavy political connotations. No one who is not hard left believes in the necessity of the xir pronoun, and of course there are trans people also among the right!

So, to me it’s completely acceptable that something so controversial is not included.

The author is talking about the crisis of a particular subfield of physics, i.e. particle physics.

Other subfields are thriving (AMO, quantum information) and maybe it’s just time to accept the relevance of different subfields changes with time.

When I go to the local butcher’s shop and buy a couple of steaks, I don’t care about his political views.

Why should I in this case?

In all honesty I don’t think my comment is worse by any means.

I just stated that if you consider skin color when judging one’s opinions, then you are a racist. And I stand by my point.

Please let me know which of the guidelines my comment broke.

From your comment I get the feeling that you think that an elderly white man does not have the same right to speak as a young black woman.

If that’s the case, I have bad news for you: you are a racist.

If that’s not the case, stop talking about skin color when discussing someone’s opinions. That’s also a tad racist.

What is ironic is that the painting is a political, left-wing work of art, and it was created with the intent of denouncing the hypocrisy of the founding fathers.

Are we doing a good service to the youth removing any kind of potentially disturbing imagery? I don’t think so. Reality can be disturbing at times, and still needs to be known.

It was painted to denounce the hypocrisy of the founding fathers. So, to me, it’s appropriate as it encourages critical thinking.

The accent still remains, in the specific way each letter is pronounced and in the global intonation.

Italian has almost phonemic orthography, as well, yet the Italian accent can be quite noticeable.

Looks like the year is not correct.

The text has clearly been written right after Terence Tao sat the exam, and given that he received his Ph.D. in 1996, most likely the notes are from 1993 or 1994.

Thanks for speaking out! I totally agree with you!!

> When someone complains loudly about censorship, you may be certain they are up to no good.

This one has a weird USSR vibe to it.

How can {} return a Badge object? Some kind of operator overload?

Termius is simply amazing! I use it regularly from my iPhone, and it’s the only terminal app that feels natural using: you can double tab to have tab completion, swipe to go up and down, etc...

Since I can manage cluster jobs as I was at my desktop, Termius really increased my productivity.

Keep up the good work, guys!

You could also try ublock origin.

Stockfish was named that way because the two main authors are from Norway and north-eastern Italy. Oddly enough, in both places stockfish is a typical dish.

At the question: "Why Aren’t You Using Our Technology?" you replied "It’s not open source." It's two comments above this.

No one asked about programming languages or standard library (except you when you misunderstood my question).

Therefore you implied that a good reason not to use a technology is that it's not open source. Literally.

Then why are you using Google?
