Okay, nothing to see here then. Just some sensationalism around a content moderation mistake.

Anduia commented on Show HN: Diagram as code tool with draggable customizations github.com/RohanAdwankar/... · Posted by u/RohanAdwankar
It's definitely much needed.
I use PlantUML for most diagramming but for anything with more than about 5 components in it I'm spending 20-30% of my time desperately trying to tweak the layout with hints.
It's an interesting approach to embed comments and then build that into the layout engine. I've always thought it would solve a lot of my issues if I could just lock the coordinates for certain components and then let the layout engine do the rest with those as hard constraints. This looks like something similar to that approach.
I really want this because the alternative is to spill over to completely manually maintained diagrams using GUI tools which then can't be easily integrated with source control - I want the same commit that changes the code to also change the architecture diagram for that code. Then it is part of code review and integrates to the whole process well.
I use PlantUML because it renders in GitLab's markdown, including wikis, MD docs and even PR comments. However, I have to use Mermaid for projects hosted on GitHub.
The hassle of tweaking the layout in puml, such as pairing elements with an invisible connections and groups, adding or removing dashes from the arrows in class diagrams... is gone because Mermaid is simply inferior in that sense.
Mermaid always feels like it's in beta and I don't understand why GitHub ignores the request to support puml (1). It seems that adoption of diagrams as code is tied to what is supported by major vendors and they don't care enough. Or maybe it is because mermaidchart made an official vscode plugin, who knows.
While I agree that improvements are needed, I'm not convinced that creating a third standard is the answer. What I would like is to be able to assign weights to my elements and let the renderer do the work (not set x and y coordinates like in oxdraw).

No expert, and fully expect to be flamed, but we are now living in a society that has discouraged "sucking it up" or "burying your emotions" for 30 years. It not really possible to study, at macro level, the impact of that thinking.
A lot of people just want to be a victim. They want to be special. They want sympathy.
It's not about wanting sympathy. In peace and prosperity times, people has more time to reach adulthood and explore themselves, they don't have to suppress pain in order to survive. Not saying everyone, but many.
I'm no expert either, but for sure there are psychology and sociology studies about generational differences, openness, and things like that.
Anduia commented on Populism and economic prosperity mainlymacro.blogspot.com/... · Posted by u/johntfella
Right or left wing populism have the same effect. Populism is bad. Period.
The problem lies in that populist governments essentially make irrational decisions just to stay in power (appease the public), which makes most forms of government populist in one form or another and democracy in particular extremely susceptible to it.
This usually manifests as short-term actions with negative long term effects (i.e. taking too much debt, rather than being fiscally sound).
I always wondered if a random-cracy wouldn't be better in the end, just pick anyone that cares to have a position by lottery and have a limited term and basic checks and balances.
At least it statistically makes a mediocre government more likely, not just as an upper bound.
It is called sortition.
Discord uses Zendesk (1). However in the press release they don't name the third party that was compromised, and Zendesk denies that it was their service.
What other third party was Discord using if not Zendesk? Who's reputation are they protecting?

Any idea why Spain and Portugal have such small isometric zones? An obvious factor is the mountains in the North, but I'm surprised there isn't easier access between the Iberian peninsula and France
Yes, it is the mountains. Tunnels are very expensive. The French TGV lines only reach the Spanish border at Hendaye on the west coast and Perpignan on the east. The fast line to Barcelona is quite recent.
In northern Spain, there is a slow train line that connects Barcelona with Galicia called the "tren estrella," but it stops everywhere and uses old infrastructure, so it is slow. Traveling to Madrid is always fast with the newer AVE lines, and more are being built.
No idea about Portugal. I guess that it is the same situation, and those routes are covered by buses.
The inability to prove damages normally is the end of a suit. But there is something magic in copyright where judges seem to waive that requirement. This special dispensation seems to be extralegal, and limited to where it serves large copyright holders.
See the Copyright Act of 1976. That battle was lost long ago and judges can't ignore statutary damages.
