Which languages in common industry use in 2022 have language-integrated aspect-oriented programming support?

The argument in this thread is that you can’t, and you agreed to the other License Agreement. See the root comment, which thinks that this code is not under the MIT license.

It is listed as MIT in the package.json, the LICENSE file, and the plugin.xml file. That’s more than reasonable enough to consider it MIT, and that’s where license information would be picked up by e.g. any license-scanning tools.

With the multiple contradictory statements, even just within the README, though, my company’s lawyer would say we can’t use this dependency at all if I showed it to them.

In the EU, people are switching over in droves - to the point that the dairy lobby got a law passed that they cannot be called milk, and cannot be advertised in ways evocative of milk.

I’ve lived in the UK and Germany and it’s incredibly rare that I’ve seen prices printed on the goods themselves. There’s a label on the shelf with the price. Even when there is a price on the box (usually much smaller stores - never supermarkets), the label on the shelf is often a different price.

Plastic surgery is not comparable to puberty blockers.

There’s already a movement to protect unattractive women (men generally do not suffer the same sort of gendered harassment, because women are generally not looking at their colleagues at work and being angry that they’re not fuckable) from harassment in workplaces. Has been for, what, the past 50 years. Laws around it too. My HR training covered them. Somehow guys don’t get the message.

Misogyny sucks, transmisogyny is a special breed of that, sadly.

I have a jawline that doesn’t match what you’d expect, a receding hairline, and very occasionally I fail to shave absolutely perfectly. I have slightly broader shoulders than most women. All things some cis women have to deal with, I might add, which leads to stories like “cis woman assaulted when she tried to use the women’s bathroom”.

Point is - I am legally recognised as a woman. My legal name is a woman’s name. I have tits and a cunt. If you start asking me what my “real name” is, or suggesting to people that I might rape them if we share a bathroom, you’re the one bringing politics into work - I’m complying with the law. I want to be at work less than you do, I don’t have a choice, let me exist.

Being forced to wear men’s clothes, a binder, and be called Kevin would be literally torture - I would die before I did that. It is not at all the same thing as sweatpants or khakis. It’d be blood on your hands.

I dress the way I do because I am a woman. Sorry you don’t believe me. Do you wanna see my cunt to prove it?

I also have breasts, can’t exactly hide those without causing damage. Visibly disabled folk get harassed at work too, they can’t hide their very personal problem, nor should we be asking them to.

This isn’t relevant in the workplace. I am legally recognised as a woman. If you don’t accept that - politics isn’t acceptable in the workplace, remember?

The second article was about trans kids.

Aside from that, sure. I’m up for more research (that doesn’t harm trans kids - smarter people than I know experiment designs which don’t result in people receiving subpar treatment for years on end). More research on trans people is welcome, there’s fuck-all of it out there, and now the meantime, we must do our best to use what we do know to help people.

You would know my deeply personal issues only by how I dress. I don’t shout about shit at work, I do my job (better than most could), and still I get harassed.

I wish people did see it as a deeply personal issue and felt embarrassed about bringing it up, or trying to get their fingers into my healthcare as in the rest of this thread.

You cannot have it both ways - attempt to tell me to shut up when defending myself, while trying to tell me you know better than my doctor and me about my healthcare and gender.

Or, y’know, the Government implemented laws which are intended to protect a minority which doesn’t have another option under capitalism.

Come out and say it - “I would prefer you dead than have to work alongside you”.

Trans children who wish to go on puberty blockers don’t consent to puberty.

But inaction is always more moral than action, even when it harms people, right? When we see that we’re about to run over 5 people, but we could instead run over 1 by pulling a lever, we shouldn’t pull the lever?

Transgender vs transsexual is an attempt to demedicalise the trans experience; very little, all in all, of what trans people go through is related to the medical process of transitioning. “Transsexualism” is what the doctors called it when focusing solely on the medical aspects, “transgender” is the word we picked for ourselves when we looked at our broader experience.

There’s some more history and a bunch of bigotry involved, but that’s the core of it.

DOI 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01053 (“the findings suggest that GnRH treated CPP girls do not differ in their cognitive functioning, behavioural, and social problems from the same age peers”, albeit findings on emotional regulation and reactivity are inconclusive - which is not the same thing as bad, just their experiment design didn’t give them a clear answer).

DOI 10.10.1016/j.psyneuen.2015.03.007

We have no strong evidence that it is unsafe in humans, and a bunch of evidence that it is safe.

The Economist is a weird source for a medical research discussion.
