It proves that corruption is tolerated in the US.

I have a framework 13" and I replaced the keyboard with a black blanked keyboard. It was really easy to install, it took me ~15 minutes. I really like the look of it, and when I use it in public people think I'm a wizard.

I'll assume that this was downvoted because the "culture war" dividing America is one of the preeminent expressions of class warfare in this country, and therefore acknowledging class _is_ inherently engaging in the "culture war". Which, fair point.

On the one hand, I think this highlights an important "blind spot" in human thought. Our ideas and creativity are hugely influenced by our environment and prevailing social conventions. It's strange he doesn't use the term "Overton Window", because that's exactly what he's talking about and it seems useful to place his thoughts in context with the existing body.

On the other hand, I vehemently disagree with the implicit assertion that any truth should be acceptable to give power. It's easy to filter, twist, and reassemble the truth to deceive and manipulate. Humanity has already paid too steep a price learning why some truths and ideas must be rejected. In fact, the ideology of "free speech absolutism" is itself an orthodoxy specific to a relatively small cultural bubble, and it's objectively quite extreme.

No, this is class consciousness, and by conflating these things you've strengthened their point.

Watch out for any of those dangly bits getting caught on the lift, I almost got dragged by my backpack strap a few years ago. IMO better to lose the gear.

The good news is that there's a very high likelihood that the tree will push new growth from the stump and survive, though it probably won't ever be as healthy and majestic as it once was.

The term "sycamore" means different things depending on the continent. In North America when we say it we're talking about the American Sycamore, platanus occidentalis. In Asia and Europe it's actually a maple, acer pseudoplatanus, and the common name for it in the US is "sycamore maple". Unfortunately it's invasive in parts of the US, and it's not even native to England.

Perspective on "fairly recent" from wiki:

> An examination of the earliest maps of Scotland suggests that the extent of the Caledonian Forest remnants has changed little since 1600.

What does this have to do with event sourcing?

Engaging in gender discrimination is probably not the best way to avoid accusations of gender discrimination affecting one's career.

* "I am very careful never to be alone in a room with a woman"

* "I don't 'banter' with women because I am worried that one of my comments, however harmless in intent, will be perceived poorly"

Don't you think these behaviors are negatively impacting the careers of these women?

> Not to mention the risk of getting hit by the banhammer if detected

Or probably CFAA, it seems inevitable to me that these organizations will use state violence to enforce their monopolies.

Having studied both CS and music, IMO the skill threshold where you can get paid to code is a lot lower than where you can get paid to music (unless you get very, very lucky and get paid to music because of celebrity rather than skill).
