rtz12··on Chrome, Firefox extension that blocks NSFW images using TensorFlow JS
It would be a nice feature for this extention to collect the URLs of detected porn images and report their hashes back, so they could be integrated into the extention itself.
rtz12··on How to Leave Work at Work
Same here, but I suspect many "career" people here on HN, who grind away in startups imagining they are designing the next big thing that'll save humanity, don't want to hear this.

I just installed this, and my whole browser grinds to a halt when I load a page...
rtz12··on I Am Deleting the Blog
This might be a controversial opinion, but I have just one word to describe most journalists nowadays: "scum".

They seek exciting and sensationalist stories without regard for any consequences in the real world. They twist their stories to manipulate the readers towards their viewpoint.

But worst of all, they have the gall to present themselves as the upholders of morality and the paragons of democracy. Any criticism you may have for these people is deemed "anti-democratic", which in most peoples heads already is a trigger word for "evil", no amount of arguments can sway them.

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
> what matters is what the term used to mean 75 years ago?

You got it backwards.

The only definition from that page that is not related to some extremist marxist/anarchist movement is this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism

And even that one uses the logo of the Antifaschistische Aktion. None of the other historic Antifascist movements described in that article are in any way relevant today.

Today, "Antifa" is synonymous with "Antifaschistische Aktion".

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
German Wikipedia. An SPD politician tried to redefine the word "Antifa" to mean just "Antifascist" in the article.

https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antifa&diff=20053...

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
Those are some quick downvotes although I literally wrote the definition of "Antifa" that you can find on Wikipedia. Some people really don't like the truth.
rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
> some Europeans have pushed the American meaning of "antifa" into the term "anarchist".

Let me cite the German Wikipedia:

> Antifa (Akronym für Antifaschistische Aktion) ist der Oberbegriff für verschiedene, im Regelfall eher locker strukturierte, kurzfristige autonome Strömungen der linken bis linksextremen Szene.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa

Here, Wikipedia describes Antifa as an umbrella Term for "autonomous groups" in the far-left extremist scene.

"autonomous groups" being:

> Als Autonome (altgriechisch: αὐτονομία, autonomía, „Unabhängigkeit, Selbstständigkeit“) oder autonome Gruppen werden heute Mitglieder bestimmter linksradikaler[1] unorthodox-marxistischer beziehungsweise anarchistischer Bewegungen bezeichnet.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonome

Describing them as members of "unorthodox marxist/anarchist" movements.

For all I can remember, this was the definition of "Antifa" here in Germany. Despite constant whitewashing and overton-window shifting attempts.

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
It might not be problematic to call yourself an anti-fascist in Europe, but specifically Antifa? I don't know in what kind of bubble you live, but to me and most people that I know, this would be outing yourself as a militant Anarchist.

There is a big shitstorm on Twitter and an edit war on Wikipedia right now, because the left wing of the German Social Democrats have appealed to Antifa.

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
> it's anyone who is anti-fascist

Wrong.

> The Antifa movement in Germany is a political movement, composed of multiple far-left, autonomous, militant groups and individuals who describe themselves as anti-fascist. The use of the epithet fascist against opponents and the understanding of capitalism as a form of fascism are central to the movement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(Germany)

rtz12··on White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter
"Antifa" is not just "anti-fascism". It is short for "Antifaschistische Aktion" and is an umbrella term for loosely related groups of extremist Anarchists/Communists who share the same symbolism, rethoric and tactics.

This is the definition of the word, no matter how much lefists try to whitewash the term and shift the overton window.

rtz12··on Cello: Higher Level Programming in C
Now this looks like an assortment of terrible hacks that I'd never want to use.

Good job though.

rtz12··on Retiring Retirement
Gee, I wonder how people did software development as a hobby before AWS was a thing. Totally impossible, way to hard!
rtz12··on Countries with more gender equality have fewer female STEM grads
Countries with more gender equality are richer. Countries with less gender equality are poorer. In poorer countries, you are more inclined to choose careers based on paycheck, less on personal preference. In richer countries you are more inclined to choose careers based on your personal preferences and less on for the paycheck.

It's pretty easy.

EDIT: A good counter example to this correlation could be Japan. Low gender equality but also low female participation in STEM fields.

Why? Because Japan is a rich country.

rtz12··on I made my son cannabis cookies. They changed his life
Almost all of the drug users I know are unemployed social outcasts. One of them at least somewhat tries.
rtz12··on Nissan says self driving cars are impossible today
Using public transport to get to work for me, would mean:

  - Walk to the next village
  - Take a bus to the next city (bus comes by every 2 hours)
  - Walk to the train station
  - Take the train to the next city
  - Take another train to the next city
  - Walk to the outskirts of the city to where I work
And I live in Germany, which is presumably the public transport heaven.

It would also take me several hours every day.

My car costs me maybe a maximum of 90€ every month and takes me to work in about 15 minutes.

I know what you will say. "Just live in the city and use a bike to get to work, faster and costs nothing! (apart from the bike)". But that would not only reduce my quality of living (let's face it, the countryside is nicer) but also let my rent costs skyrocket (average price per m² more than doubles).

The ECB is most probably one of the biggest threats to freedom that we currently face.
rtz12··on Pull request acceptance of women versus men
> men do hobby programming and women don't.

This is also something I have observed in my job. I am in a typical enterprise software shop and I feel like women are more likely to see programming as "just a job", while men are more likely to put more passion into it. But most people in general see it as "just a job", so maybe hobbyist female programmers are just rare because female programmers in general are rare.

Who knows.

rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
I personally don't like this argument. It is not surprising that young men will go first and let their families come safely after. Not all of Syria is a war zone after all.
rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
Well, I was thinking a little bit more recently.
rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
If course it is, it was meant to be. While my comment represented my thoughts about the whole situation, I also wanted to provoke a little bit.

And yes, "families fleeing war" are potential terrorist candidates. There is quite a possibility of future generations to radicalize. This happens (Europe exports quite some fighters for ISIL) and it will happen in the future, because the foundations are present. The refugees coming here will be mosty the future bottom of the lower class. And being poor, having no perspective and being insecure about ones identity aren't really things thatr you want to experience combined into a single adolescent boy.

And "families fleeing war" are not the only ones coming as refugees. It is also the fleeing fighters of ISIL.

rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
Terrorist attacks of this scale? Care to elaborate? I may have missed something here.
rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
Which is impossible. Look at the situation in refugee camps in Germany. Massive violence because a non-muslim refugee insulted the islam (happened quite a few times now). Christian refugees fleeing from the camps and seeking shelter in churches. Refugees constructing mafia-like structures. All these things happen, and that's just what the mass media reports. Police forces around the country have already been ordered to report less on crimes and violence of refugees so the much feared "right" wont use it as a tool.

We'll be in some deep shit in the coming years.

rtz12··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
Gee, I wonder when they will finally tell us that the ones responsible are in fact, islamic terrorists. Mark my words HN, this is just the beginning. I wonder when things like this will happen in other European countries. Germany is a likely candidate, as we are currently mass-importing the potential terrorist candidates.

And now, I'll just wait for the downvotes I guess.

rtz12··on GNU Guile 2.1.1 released
The new website looks much better than before, great job. I am planning to build something using Guile, but sadly my time is limited.
rtz12··on Problems with Go's design
Yes, Go sucks. But currently, at least for me, I think it sucks a lot less than alternatives. No language is perfect, neither is Go.

The most annoying thing is compiler instructions with special formatted comments. And Rob Pike calls that "elegant design".
