Basically they disagree on how to treat their fellow citizens.

Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes.

But both have largely been ok with everyone being exploited by feudal trade economics, bombing other nations to satisfy global political norms, and swindling developing nations out of their resources, while emotionally coddling elites.

It means something to not be outright hostile to the truly marginalized, but the Dems have not exactly been labors friend. And most people are laborers. They’ve failed the majority plenty.


>Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes.

Republicans are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes.

Not the same classes, perhaps even classes that many don't want recognized, such as the unborn, but the statement is still just as true.


Abortion isn't blatant hostility toward fetuses. No one gets an abortion because they hate fetuses.


"Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes."

There are tons of YouTube videos on college campuses that prove otherwise.


Reminder: having shitty ideas is not a protected class, and “free speech” does not mean you get to say whatever batshit crazy thing comes to mind without other people expressing themselves


There seems to be an implication that the outcry is only ever against "shitty ideas". I think there are plenty of cases that prove this untrue.


You just made parent's point perfectly. A total lack of self awareness.


Plenty of people on both sides have "batshit crazy" ideas, except one leans more heavily on mob mentality thanks to the self-righteousness that comes with the unshaken belief that you have the moral highground.

Well, Goldwater tried to warn the Republicans about what would happen if they kept sucking up to the evangelicals, and...

Oh, wait, were you talking about Democrats?


Listen to yourself man. By closing the door to debate you open up the floor to hostility. Some conservatives have demented ideas, but that doesn’t mean ALL do. If we are going to heal our divisions it’s going to take more than each side calling the other ‘Snowflake’


I'm not taking a side here and said nothing about not listening to any conservative or closing off to debate. I'm merely pointing out that "college kids didn't want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A or B" is not equivalent to how classes of people are treated in the slightest.


There's a difference between "I dont want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A, so I won't come to his lecture" and "I don't want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A, so I think he should be banned from ever entering my college premises".


I was under the impression we were speaking of government officials, not 19 year old college kids.


I was describing the politicians themselves.

But I did conclude that they also fall short in many areas.


> not be outright hostile to the truly marginalized

No popular party can do this or they wouldn't be truly marginalized. By definition, it's impossible.


> Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes

What rock are you living under?


That’s a smear against conservatives and blatantly untrue.

There are activist organizations on both sides calling for violence and both should be condemned.


Corollary: You also had people that were very fine people on both sides.


How does this comment facilitate discussion?


At this point this whole conversation's fucked imo


It could lead to more than just putting casual models out of work. Fewer stylists and designers would be needed.

Let the AI generate the color patterns (sticking with Gap as an example, it might retain their chosen /size as constraints) and boom, on demand styling


Not to mention you wouldn't need photoshop anymore to give the models unrealistic proportions. Adopt this system and proudly declare that you don't photoshop the models! Like fat-free soda.


Hm something got lost there. Intended to write their garment design and known sizing guide as constraints.

Basically start by changing colors around.

Until 3D printed textiles get there anyway.


I could see A/B testing with minor variations in style and appearance too, optimizing for CTR.


And if the public organized around changing this notion at all they could.

It’s not as if laws and norms of society are dictated by physics. They’re dictated by the people with guns.

The 100 mile and its associated rules are an arbitrary choice. Security theater.


They’re known for products that service hardcore gamers. Limited appeal twitch shooters, and face melting new graphics. Not exactly known for their emotional thinking relative to Valve.

Not hard to see similar limited appeal moves to amass popularity with a particular type of eyeball.


WeWork is a new Sears, leasing floor space for companies to stock and display their smart people.


We’re currently replacing Jenkins with EKS, and if it goes well, will consider doing the same with Circle.

External partners have costs. And really the kind of things we need these things for here are pretty easy to configure in a Docker container.

What we expect we’ll end up with after the Jenkins switch is Cloudformation templates we can hack into a Circle CI replacement.

And we’d use GitLab if we could start over there but are bought into some end user tools and workflows that connect to GitHub that people don’t want to give up. BUT no one cares about Jenkins going away since they use it through a Slack bot ️


> replacing Jenkins with EKS

This doesn't make sense to me. Jenkins is a CI tool - that means it can build, test, and deploy your code.

EKS is a managed Kubernetes instance. That means it can run a collection of Docker containers.

I don't see how EKS can accomplish building or testing.


Kubernetes orchestrates running jobs, giving them all required prerequisites and data in the form of Docker containers and can record or report logs, as well as store configuration and secrets. Jenkins orchestrates Jenkins agents running jobs on pre-configured servers, stores configuration and secrets, and records and archives logs and built files. They are both very similar from this perspective. There’s no reason Jenkins couldn’t attach a monitoring system to run a Jenkins job when a service goes down or exceeds capacity. And you probably would prefer storing secrets and files off your Jenkins server if your builds are distributed or you run out of space. Basically... Jenkins is an orchestration service but most people run short-lived tasks with it, and they have to worry about configuring and deploying Jenkins agent images separately.


Not the GP, but I suspect they may have been referring to replacing their use of Jenkins as a part-deployment, part-orchestration tool to administer lots of background jobs as a sort of a distributed cron. Many people use Jenkins thus, and in that domain Kubernetes does indeed compete along some axes.


There’s definitely an argument to be made about how this dev should only be shipping to hundreds, thousands, or millions of personal devices via Nintendo’s infra only what’s printed on the tin.

My hacker nerd side is all giggly.

My security and consumer conscious sides bristle at the idea some dev thought it was a great little in-joke to ship this to unsuspecting users.


> dev should only be shipping to hundreds, thousands, or millions of personal devices via Nintendo’s infra only what’s printed on the tin

That's a very long-winded way of saying, "He should only sell what was advertised."

> unsuspecting users

Nobody is forcing anyone to find or access Easter Eggs. It wasn't malicious nor annoying, it wasn't even accessible unless you attached a keyboard. I haven't seen any backlash from "unsuspecting" buyers, only Nintendo.

I see the potential worries from a security perspective, but as an "unsuspecting" consumer, why would you care?


I only upgraded from my 2009 i7 (I forget the model) to last years i7 because the old motherboard died.

I kept upgrading GPU and seeing only 20-30% CPU use while gaming. It was fine.

Some changes to how we build these things would be nice.

The heavily integrated motherboard model should die. A PCI slot on my old board made the whole system flake.

Discrete components I can stack are more my dream design. If my old CPU had been a sealed unit of some kind with a physical connector to the GPU, power, and such, and I could have simply swapped out the faulty port expansion “module”, that would be slick.

But one PCI port flaking means I have to bail on an otherwise perfectly functional CPU, RAM, PSU, and cooling kit.


It still seems possible that could be the case. The conclusion here seems to be “one person wrote down the words that tell the overall tale.”

Does not seem to preclude it originating as a series of verbal tales.


That was more or less the point of Tolkien's Lecture "The Monster and the Critics". He compared it to building a tower out rocks that came from a historical ruin. Everybody was interested in taking it apart to see where the rocks came from, but he felt it had value in considering it as a single creative work in its own right.


It's also the kind of idea that Tolkien was in a unique position to entertain. If one man can create an entire mythology spanning The LOTR, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion, there is no reason to suppose that another man cannot achieve a similar feat with the Beowulf.

According to the article, doubts about single authorship began to be raised in the 19th century. This was a time when a lot of people thought that they were living at the pinnacle of history, and that cultures of the distant past must have been strictly inferior to the modern one. Troy could not have possibly existed; no single person in such a barbaric age could possibly have produced great poems like the Homeric epics -- or Beowulf.

Well, we found Troy. We also found evidence of great devastation at Troy right around the time when the Homeric war supposedly took place. It seems that people of the distant past did possess the ability to tell a great story after all, moving freely between history and mythology, filled with allegory and philosophical depth. Just like Tolkien did, but hundreds or even thousands of years earlier.
