Only when there’s no professional playing a role. A self-help group with professional oversight is great.

Every village had a village idiot, now they network.

No, that’s the reactionary propaganda doing that.

Everybody living in this world should be aware that words have context and don’t always literally mean what their parts mean. And even then “patriarchy” is one of the more literal ones: it comes from “pater”/father in the same vein as “paternalistic”, with the same connotation of overbearing-yet-out-of-touch.

So just from word meaning that clearly doesn’t mean all men, and obviously it also doesn’t refer to literal fathers either.

“patriarchy” in this context means something other than you think, I.e. it means a system that upholds gender roles that benefit a (majority male) ruler class, e.g. by encouraging worker class men to go to war for their benefit, worker class women to be caretakers, and so on.

The counterpart to this definition of “patriarchy” is a society with no stratified gender roles, not “matriarchy”.

Im sorry that happened, but never again what?

Like, “never again open up about a huge important part of my life to”

a) anyone, or b) someone you don’t know too long

Because only b) is healthy. I don’t think trying to mask your depression can work in a serious relationship.

That’s not what that word means. “patriarchs” aren’t men in general, that’s why it’s possible (and in fast true) that the patriarchy harms people of all genders.

As this post demonstrate, men don’t benefit from it, e.g. it makes us live shorter, it encourages suppressing our emotion, it encourages our aggression. Because some (mostly) men in power benefit if we don’t unionize, let ourselves be pressed into shit jobs or the military, and so on.

Read the other messages here and you might understand.

I know how that feels, and I know a few more people of any gender who have been made that way.

I eventually gained it back, but it sometimes I still feel like I’m close to tears yet can’t go there. Feels like a sneeze that doesn’t come except more emotional.

It only goes one way: from people using gender stereotypes to manipulate others to the victims.

The fact that you can manipulate any gender while being any gender logically follows.

I was about to say: if a trunk would fulfill the same purpose, the bed is not useful: then it’s just a less protected trunk.

So I assume correcting for that, this stat would also be >70%

Whoever dies first loses.

Wow you’re insane. “I know, I’ll discredit the woman who just pointed out that it’s hard to get credit in her field as a woman ”

Python is just glorified shell scripting

Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.

I don’t like the indentation crap

Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.

Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.

Not only is there a UInt8Array, there’s also a bunch of others: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray#typedarray_objects

Great point, but this part of the quote is still dumb as rocks:

Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It’s not necessarily the skill in and of itself. The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that’s interesting for my end users to use?

Sure, if you have a big workforce hand-coding UI, you might replace some of them by better tools. But things like that are a fraction of a fraction of the responsibilities developers have

Yeah, the motivation here is “please panic-buy our GPUs/please panic-buy into our cloud GPU infrastructure ”

Huh, I really like code like that. Having a multi-step process split up into sections like that is amazing to reason about actual dependencies of the individual sections. Granted, that only applies if the individual steps are kinda independently meaningful

To adapt your example to what I mean:

Baz do_stuff(int count, boolean cond) {
	Foo part1 = function1(count);
	Bar part2 = function2(cond);
	return function3(part1, part2);
}

This allows you to immediately see that part1 and part2 are independently calculated, and what goes into calculating them.

There are several benefits, e.g.:

1. if there is a problem, you can more easily narrow down where it is (e.g. if part2 calculates as expected and part1 doesn’t, the problem is probably in function1, not function2 or function3). If you have to understand the whole do_stuff before you can effectively debug it, you waste time.
2. if the function needs to be optimized, you know immediately that function1 and function 2 can probably run in parallel, and even if you don’t want to do that, the slow part will show up in a flame graph.

Try spending a new year’s eve in e.g. Germany.

everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.

You pay $20

Thank you!
