> I would be surprised if you could find an example of anyone at all prominent or influential on the left expressing in writing the position that you quote.

How about this for a prominent and influential source:

The headline is "Neurosexism: the myth that men and women have different brains"

Under the sub-heading "Cultural paths":

"So if it’s not brain hard-wiring, how do we explain the often stark differences in behaviour and interests between men and women? Here is where we get to Rippon’s thesis on the impact of a gendered world on the human brain."

You can inject people with testosterone and estrogen and observe behavioral changes (as people attest to in this very thread), so it's certainly a pretty strange position to have. Neuroscience is too important for these nonfactual statements to be accepted, let alone be published in Nature. There's a pretty thorough counter argument here: https://quillette.com/2019/03/29/denying-the-neuroscience-of...

I am essentially a hash table fetishist, and I'm a little bummed out that this doesn't go into more detail about how the damn thing works. How do you do implement a chaining hash table that uses a single flat array?

I think there is tremendous potential in baking in these sorts of games into some kind of chat application.

The creators of Chatroulette originally wanted an app that could connect people around the world, it just turned out become a platform for people exposing themselves over webcam. If you could avoid that, and build a platform that nudges people into building these intimate conversations across the world, you might bring huge value to a world where people are increasingly lonely.
