Readit News> I really hope a future Congress will undo this fucking mess... otherwise the US is probably never going to catch back up to what it used to be. Voters made a terrible mistake.
Putting too much power into the president is part of the problem.
Really? Care to name an example of their being persecuted legally by the administration in the way you claim? For example, there were multiple huge gay pride parades in the U.S just recently, which are visibly and vocally attended by trans people too, and I didn't see federal agents or police of any kind going at them at any point.
I appreciate you looking for examples. This podcast episode will give you some, as well as a lens through which you may spot others.

So things like the cotton gin or Ford's use of interchangeable parts don't count as design or somehow didn't change the world?
How is volunteering at soup kitchens more effective at changing the world than interchangeable parts?
And still yet...are you wanting to change the world for the better?
I know several people like this, and it seems they feel like they have god powers now - and that they alone can communicate with "the AI" in this way that is simply unreachable by the rest of the peasants.
If it's that simple, sounds like you've got your solution! Go ahead and take care of it. If it fits V&V and other normal procedures, like passing tests and documentation, then we'll merge it in. Shouldn't be a problem for you since it will only take a moment.
- Rule 1: Be Funny
- Rule 2: Writing a spec is like writing code for a brain to execute
- Rule 3: Write as simply as possible
- Rule 4: Review and reread several times
The author isn't quite as adept at integrating the humor as seemlessly as Joel, yet it's interesting to see how effective the style is, even for someone still learning it. I commend them for making the topic more accessible. It was probably fun to write and was definitely fun to read!

As far as I could tell, the book didn't match what's posted online today. The text was somewhat consistent on a topic, yet poorly written and made references to sections that I don't think existed. No amount of prompting could locate them. I'm not convinced the material presented to me was actually the book, although it seemed consistent with the topic of the chapter.
I tried to ascertain when the book had been scraped, yet couldn't find a match in Archive.org or in the book's git repo.
Eventually I gave up and just continued reading the PDF.
I think that's exactly on point. Here are two examples from Euclid which demonstrate why mathematics, and likely science, were stunted for millenia:
"if a first magnitude and a third are equal multiples of a second and a fourth, and a fifth and a sixth are equal multiples of the second and fourth, then the first magnitude and fifth, being added together, and the third and sixth, being added together, will also be equal multiples of the second and the fourth, respectively."
a(x + y) = ax + by
"If a quantity increased by three becomes five, then that quantity has to be two".
X + 3 = 5
X = 2

So go, if you're not going to fight it.
