I earnestly can't think of anything more offensive you could say to an indigenous Canadian than "just anglocise a little more and move on".


Nothing more offensive? That's a stunning admission of historical ignorance and is itself so offensive.

And this is why nobody outside of the fake-justice bubble cares at all about these issues, they're just social signaling for you people.


There are real-text headings above the button bank at the top and the images have the role="presentation" attribute, meaning they're meant to be ignored by assistive tech. What is there to address...


sed, perl? I don't know why you would ever need to load a 10 gig file to memory.


Vim doesn't load it all into memory. Sed and perl means you are writing a program to deal with it. I already have a program that can deal with it.



The original piece does address this. The gist is that the volcanic plateau underlying the carbonate platform influenced the early morphology of the platform (duh) but that its influence became "muted" once the plateau was entirely underwater. Volcanic activity is unlikely to be related beyond that initial effect.


That's a local configuration issue.


Yes, you get a warning that explicitly says "Data beyond 256 (IV) columns by 65,536 rows will not be saved."


Prison in the U.S. is traumatic and life-ruining by design and people who are imprisoned become victims themselves. Not only that, but a huge number of offenders have previously been the victim of a crime, or will be after they're released. The world is not made up of attackers and sufferers, it's made up of people. You can waste your time allocating empathy based on your own flawed moral calculus or you can just try to see people as individuals and treat them accordingly. Note that this could also mean treating people worse than the justice system did.

If the empathy-allocating thing appeals to you, you can think about it in terms of externalities. If you can prevent recidivism, you can proactively "help the victims" by preventing their victimization in the first place. What drives recidivism? Primarily, poverty, unemployment, social marginalization, untreated mental health issues. People with no options will act as if they don't have options.


People are acting like you shouldn't be allowed to quit your job because you don't like your coworkers?


If you search a given free software (provided it's popular enough) with "onsite training" you will find a plethora of companies that provide it.
