What a mess. We should just return to catholic monarchy or at very least restrict voting to a trusted nobility. Democracy is really just a euphemism for rule by the media, and the media just serves private corporate interests. it’s unrealistic to trust the average layperson to make decisions on matters of state. I wouldn’t trust my cook to cut my hair.

What does the pizza emoji at the end of the article mean?

No, he explicitly states that women roughly have same average iq as men and are equally competent and capable to do engineering work.

OTOH personality traits aren’t distributed equally between men and women. Personality traits don’t impact your ability to do engineering work, but they influence What type of workplace culture / communication protocols in which you can thrive. Damore advocated for making engineering cultures more accommodating to people who have personality traits resembling the distribution that women exhibit.

Damore never claimed women were intrinsically less inclined to engineering.

He cited the big five personality trait model as evidence for why engineering culture is not welcoming to women.

You have to keep saying it because you haven’t explained why referencing suckless has any bearing on whether the project will support CJK. In particular you have no basis for this statement:

“Ok, this is a bit of a offtopic rant, but this project seems to be aiming ‘suckless’[0].

For me and a lot of users, that means that this project probably won’t be useful for a lot of non-ASCII users, especially for CJK users like me.”

Are you serious? Of course the question comes with the reasonable assumption that the proper declaration has been made especially since it’s a well known standard function. Additionally memset() is not a variadic function.

You said the types were corrected, you didn’t say you were reminding about the declaration types. The types were correct from the start.

It was baseless. You had no evidence CJK will not be supported. It was just a baseless condemnation of the project because the readme referenced suckless.

> The underlying intent may well be that, but it is couched in both ignorance and callous disregard for others.

Nope, that’s just your projection. You’re callously disregarding him.

Good faith is just as much about assuming good intent as it is about assuming genuineness. All of those statements are a far cry from “fuck everyone else.” The underlying intent could just as easily be “this can help more people.” It’s an unfair exaggeration that only serves to justify your indignation.

There actually was a point. His point is that, while it might seem counterintuitive, allowing suppliers to price with demand may improve the situation for the majority of people, even if that permits a minority of individuals to fall by the wayside. He’s making a plea to look at this from a systemic angle. You totally missed that because you jumped to demonizing him for even suggesting the idea.

If you’re hearing “fuck everyone else” that’s pure projection. You’re obviously putting words into his mouth. That seems cruel to me and counterproductive.

You should be more empathetic when you discuss with people on the internet, assume good faith.

Sounds like you’re just having an emotional reaction instead of engaging his point in good faith. If you’re so empathetic, maybe you should remember that the person who made that point is a human being and not a monster.

I agree but he said the types needed to be corrected. As far as I know the types were already correct.
