It's such an odd thing. I don't think I've ever heard people refusing to say Stalin or Hitler's names. Andrew Jackson isn't alluded to with euphemisms, despite being a piece of shit who perpetrated genocide among other crimes. Nixon doesn't get this for his crimes and shitty policies, nor Truman for the a-bombs or FDR for mass internment of American citizens.
It seems like an idea people got from Harry Potter refusing to say Voldemort.
At least a few years ago, most of Instagram’s server side code was in Python. Python may be slower than C++, but it’s not about raw speed it’s about being “fast enough.”
The fact that it is more popular to have children over the age of 35 doesn't change the medical realities of it. Anecdotal, but I know more couples with fertility issues than couples who have successfully had a healthy child.
I'm not saying it's a good idea medically, just that "having first child at 33" is hardly out of the ordinary, it's pretty much normal and expected these days. I wouldn't really expect someone with only a B.Sc. to have children earlier than that either.
Buying a house at 31 is not only "not-late" it's even pretty early these days!
That's a clever way of having your cake and eating it too -- use tired old tropes but have the characters comment that they know they're tired old tropes.
every concept will eventually have been expressed or referenced somewhere, so we have a system where every single possible scenario becomes a "trope" with a tidy label.
what - aside from gibberish or nonsense - isn't a trope at that point?
Imagine paying to upvote content as a consumer. I can see this being popular with brands that are already paying for engagement, but that’s just going to result in the same media landscape we’re already in.
Crypto boosters need to transactionalize absolutely everything and anything because every transaction, by design, incurs a tax to the miner/validator/magic oracle machine owner. Since you become that person by buying lots of physical hardware with real money, or buying lots of <token> with real money, it by design is someone who already has a lot.
Crypto is people who see the tax that credit card networks are on all transactions, but their problem with it isn't that it's wealth redistribution from those with bad credit to those with good credit, but rather that they aren't the ones collecting the tax.
The last paragraph of this article sums up a trend I keep seeing in this industry I don't like:
> But while decarbonizing heavy industry is a good thing, the folks behind this project are not my favorites. Lightsource BP is a joint venture between the steel company EVRAZ and the energy giant BP, as well as the utility giant Xcel Energy, which will provide the steel mill with fixed electricity rates through 2041. BP and Xcel wouldn’t exactly be my top choices to control the energy of the future, what with both companies’ histories of spewing out carbon emissions, greenwashing their polluting business plans, and screwing over workers. I personally don’t think these kinds of companies should get to make big profits on solar power or use it to paper over their destructive legacies. But hey, maybe that’s just me!
The alternative to this is what? Complete newcomers to the industry attempting to execute multi-million or -billion dollar projects? Anyone in an existing carbon-intensive industry is going to have a "climate unfriendly" reputation because they operate in a "climate unfriendly" industry. Attempting to block existing players in the industry from decarbonizing seems counterproductive.
The way I read it, the only reason Reddit didn't hand over the information on the other users was that the comments didn't specifically mention RCN. If all the users had mentioned RCN, it seems like Reddit would have handed them everything they wanted.
It's not. It's much more simple, than anything else I know. XPath, and its higher-up XQuery make it a breeze! XSD, while not perfect, can be easily displayed as a graphical diagram. What you, however, need, and there is no way around it, is a specialized XML IDE or an IDE, that has "understood" XML.
