  • Most sex of trans people is intersex though (either after HRT or SRS). This whole discussion is stupid from people not knowing the tiniest thing about biology.

    And even then the worst part is that these documents equal gender and sex. Sex cannot be easily determined anyway without the help of at least an endocrinologist and it's irrelevant for most everyday cases. Not even your doctor cares unless you are pregnant.

    It's just to hurt people for no real reason.

  • I almost forgot it existed. It was a slight improvement, but with a whole bunch of new problems (most notable race conditions which were never fixed) and it was made obsolete by systemd.

    It was a good evolutionary step only used by Ubuntu iirc. It was better at that time than the previous init system, but not more than that and it never found wide adaption.

  • I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.

    I don't understand why anyone would want that back.

    A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

  • You are actually correct. I just checked the manifest of RHEL and it provides vim-minimal and not vi like I assumed.

    I noticed that it behaves a bit different than the version available on AIX for example which for sure uses real vi, but I never gave it a second thought. Interesting.

  • None of the tools are really made for the most trivial use cases though. Although it doesn't take much effort to set everything up in a simple project I would probably also skip most of it. But this discussion about tiny one off projects is kinda pointless as you don't have many of the problems to solve anyway.

    I implemented a reddit frontend (kiosk mode) a while back using only vanilla JS for fun, because a previous implementation by someone else broke. There was not really a point though as it wasn't even simpler than using the proper tools. It was just for the hell of it, but nowhere close to a "real" project.

  • There is not really anything to learn. It is just lacking some useful features and shortcuts which make it slower to use. It's still much better than nothing.

    Usually my biggest issue is that I am so used to write vim over vi. At least for small edits.

  • And the simple answer is no. You can remove a layer here and there, but this is what the modern dev environment looks like.

    I mean sure you can implement all that yourself and carry all the extra cognitive load, but it is not productive to even skip babel or so. There is no point, but the challenge.

    Of course it is a bit more complicated to pick the right tools and you don't have to use everything, but that's a whole different discussion.

  • That's fine. The problem lies in talking about their works which might encourage others to buy the books or merchandise etc. Unfortunately the best result would be if the work and the author would be forgotten, but that's unlikely to happen. So at least when talking about the works it should never be omitted that the author is a horrible person who abuses her influence to hurt other people.

    Hence I disagree with the take. This way around the work should not be separated from the creator, because popularizing it is enabling even if you won't consume any more than what you already have, others might.

  • No offense, but just no. If you don't like the art, but the artist that's fine, absolutely no problem here, but supporting a person like J. K. Rowling financially by consuming their creation is actually a problem and should be opposed.

    This view is enabling horrible people and not okay.

  • I could have also picked a habanero which is admittedly a lot more spicy and it used to be the hottest pepper in the world, but it usually doesn't cause a big reaction either.

    Anyway, that's missing the point. I was talking about the total amount of capsaicin which can't be really high in just one chip. It is just a tiny amount of concentrated capsaicin and I believe that people usually consume more with a regular spicy meal. Hence my believe that not the capsaicin itself is the problem.

  • The effects on blood pressure are well known, but that it can cause spasm of arteries is interesting.

    Many people eat lots of spicy food daily and I never heard of serious health issues. Especially a single chip might contain a concentrated amount of capsaicin, but it is unlikely to contain much more in volume then a hot plate of chili con carne or even just a hand full of raw jalapenos. So I assume it is some underlying condition and a shock reaction and not the capsaicin itself.

    I would love to see more research into this.
