Or some people just have nuanced opinions and see that topics can be multiple shades of grey instead of either white or black.

I watched it for the first time recently. He just kept making the dumbest decisions every time. He's supposed to be a super genius, yet I would've chosen most of the decisions better.

The only explanation is that he's bored and wants to make things difficult, but that is not what's portrayed in the anime at all. It's just what I came up with to explain his horrible decisions.

Yeah. It is clearly possible. I don't know why I read it as 60th percentile instead of 60% of median

After reading my comment. You are right, it is not impossible.

However, it still is not a good indicator for minimum wage.

IMO, minimum wage should be based on expenses. That is, it should cover what you need to live a decent life.

That definition is based on other's income. Imagine you live in a country where housing is 1€/month and food is 0.10€/month. The rest of the costs scale accordingly. Yet it is an incredibly rich country and the median income is 10000€/year. Would you say that a yearly wage of 120€/year is risk-of-poverty? It's 0.001% of the median income, yet it can provide for 10 years of housing in 1 year of work.

Great. We used the same definition, that's good.

Now, can you explain to me what minimum wage do you think would make it so minimum wage is safe from poverty according to that definition?

What is the definition of safe from poverty?

What I found was this:

The at-risk-of-poverty rate is the share of people with an equivalised disposable income (after social transfer) below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income after social transfers.

From https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary%3AAt-risk-of-poverty_rate

By that definition, it is not possible to have a minimum wage "safe from poverty". Since the minimum will always be below the median.

There are no words that can express the same as curse words. Otherwise, we wouldn't use them as much.

Words are words. And they are used to communicate. I don't understand the American panic about this small set of words. They are words like any other.

Non-american countries also have some people that panic about curse words, but I don't think they match the level of panic of Americans.

I'm surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say "look how the sales numbers haven't changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!"

"full attendance"

The fact that some 300 people with the best salaries and most prestigious jobs in the country can't be presumed to all attend their job is completely incredible to me. Especially on occasions of such importance such as a presidential impeachment.

I don't see the use case.

There's 2 secrets here: the link and the password. And to share it with someone you need to share 2 secrets: the locked link and the password.

Why not use the same method you used to share the password to share the link instead? Without the need for this service.

The planet does not care about taxes either.

The reason per person footprint is important because we can't just turn off all pollution. We have to gradually reduce it.

You can't just say to your country "by the way, we just banned fossil fuels", that will just result in you dead and a pro-pollution guy being in charge of the country next day.

The way to reduce pollution is to get more output from the same input. That is, efficiency.

Private jets are incredibly inefficient and are used by an extremely low percentage of the population. There's no reason to keep that 1.8% just to satisfy 0.0001% of the population.

And how are women pushed out of "man jobs"?

And how are we fixing that?

Is it bosses that aim to have male coworkers turning down women? How is that different than bosses wanting artificially 50/50 turning down men?

Is it not being represented in advertising? How is that different than what happens now. Where most advertising displays just women? Or if there is both a man and a woman, the woman is usually centered in the picture or doing a more important/powerful role.

By "encouraging" women in the workplace, what you see is things being done to men that you complain was done to women.

Arguing that driving a car is mandatory while eating meat is a choice must be the most braindead argument I've seen from a vegan.

As long as you call .collect() on it at the end, don't need to write the entire type as it is a method with a generic parameter, and returns that generic.

The intermediate iterators though, those are hell. Especially if you pass it to a lambda and for some reason rust can't infer the type.

I once came across a parsing library that did the parsing with basically just the type system. It was absolute hell to debug and build. Types of parsers would be hundreds of characters long. It would take tens of minutes to build a simple parser.

I don't know much much time it would take to build a complex parser, since it was unable to. it reached the max type generic depth of the rust compiler, and would just refuse to compile.

I believe it was called Chomsky or Chumsky or something like that. Discovering nom was a blessing.

fully qualified type names make any language awful.

Here's the same example in rust:

let a = std::rc::Rc::new(std::vec::Vec<u8, MyAllocator>::new());

I believe u8 also comes from a module, so it would be something like std::u8::u8, but I'm not sure.

I don't know typescript. But if that's the case, this meme doesn't make much sense.

Who writes the types of variables in a language with type inference unless forced by the compiler?

It's also valid rust syntax.

But if it were rust, this meme would not make sense, since you would just type let a and type inference would do its thing. Which is much more ergonomic.

I got the viking one for free. Didn't make it much farther than the initial area, which is hours long.

I'd say they are worse than mediocre.

Take into account that in order to make PRs to a repository you don't have access to, you have to make a fork of the repo. Which means another repo.

Glib us licensed under LGPL. So unless your project is happy with that, it's as if it didn't exist. That's one of the problems of having a small standard library.
