I'm getting the feeling you may not be presenting the discussion or the reactions to it entirely honestly here.

But talk about how white people are superior was not off-limits, was it? And the fact that he would clumsily ban everything political instead of specifically the nazi shit isn't ex…

> it works because we as a society have a visceral negative reaction to some labels. Do you know why we have that reaction? Because of millions upon millions of dead, innocent huma…

It should be noted here that "culture war topics" that are banned means literal white supremacists, nazis and their ilk. You are acting as if it is a great injustice done to the ma…

It's still unclear to me what the benefit is, though. The drawbacks are obvious - I have to wear a headset, I lost the physical interfacing, both in terms of input interfaces and i…

It definitely will not have the relative resolution of a physical monitor.

Yeah, but all the things mentioned are things that require my full attention for longer spans of time. I don't need separate displays for them, I need one single good display.

Regulators were definitely not asleep at the wheel. They were apparently actively defending them, for instance by attempting to sue the Financial Times for reporting on the irregul…

It is, in fact, not useful for communication, because it does not honestly communicate anything. It exists only to undermine people who try to call you out on making bigoted remark…

Feel free to provide me wrong by showing a non-libertarian source that takes this term seriously.

Ah yes, Wikipedia, with one source form a libertarian propaganda rag. Very reputable. Nobody but libertarians looking for excuses for racism use that term, deal with it.

"Kafkatrap" is a meaningless term, beyond "stop calling me a racist just for saying racist things". Acting like it's an accepted logical fallacy is ridiculous. It's a term ESR made…

He also chose the word "kafkatrap", a word coined by a notorious racist.

> The implication is that some external knowledgable entity communicated with the patient The implication of the actual article, if you read it to the end, is the exact opposite.

The article also mildly makes fun of the people who believe it to be a supernatural phenomenon.

This was to more closely match the behaviour of Objective-C, and it has been removed as better ways of Objective-C interop were developed.

This is already the case with the name of your function. And named arguments are basically just an extension of the name of your function.

But this is already the case for the name of the function. Semantically, named arguments are just part of the name of the function.

Do you really want to "culturally reconcile" with people who want to send the army to quell peaceful protests? That is not a view that you can build a democracy on. To have democra…
