@fortyseven He's scared. He doesn't want his business targeted if this goes badly.

@PapyrusBrigade That's everybody at this stage. Nobody escaped that virus. Are you really suggesting that every diver needs to get checked out?

@revk Well you've only got so long to get the equipment out before the police arrive.

@fortyseven ... and 546°K

@fortyseven Give me your general impression and if it's good I'll check it out for myself. I don't want an in depth analysis because I haven't watched it yet and you'll spoil it.

If you want to do more in-depth aspects, that's a separate video to start a discussion.

@uspolitics Why aren't the voting rules for a national job (President) defined nationally?

Would seem perfectly reasonable to me to say that electoral college representatives are not eligible unless they have been elected in accordance with federal guidance. Stop all of this gerrymandering of the process.

@brrbrr I don't understand the morals Vs survival statement. Is morals the socialist take and survival the capitalist one?

@andreagrandi @arialdo I agree with you, but I've also had this experience with Haskell.

Haskell changes the way you decompose problems. It almost forces you to abstract what you want to do from how you will do it. That's something which is viewed as good practice in a lot of languages, but often not done.

Global state isn't a thing, so you "perfect" working in the local scope. Again good practice in lots of languages, but even without going global, a lot of OO code abuses retained-state.

In Haskell have to become extremely comfortable with higher order functions. Python, for example, is very capable in this area, but if all you've ever done is python you probably won't naturally fall into using those features of the language.

I find Haskell has made it easy for me to work on a class of problems that I found very difficult before. It increased my set of tools and whilst many languages have those tools, Haskell forced me to understand why I want them.

@BoydStephenSmithJr @cykonot @Wraithe I was saddened that in the discussion following the recent Disney case, many lawyers saw arbitration as preferable for their plaintiff clients. Their reasoning was that due to the backlogs in the court, getting paid off was more likely to be a "positive" outcome. (i.e. you wouldn't end up going bankrupt and dropping the case).

In their world it seemed like courts didn't exist for normal people.

@The_Tim @ausrine @Wraithe Disney didn't think there was a difference between husband and wife when it came to forced arbitration.

@alanferrier Glad it's not just me thinking this.

Stop telling me what you're not doing, and tell me what these sacrifices will enable in the long run.

@vwbusguy @isaackuo @cstross @ObbieZ @straphanger Fortunately those are pressurised kegs. So just expel the beer in the direction opposing your motion.

@davidallengreen The recent JSO protester sentencing remarks were useful IMHO.

After reading it I can see why he went to the level he did. I'm not sure if I agree but...

- His focus was on the conspiracy to commit the crime and the intended level of disruption.
- They were all repeat offenders serving sentences already which were absorbed into this ruling.
- Every reason to think they'd reoffend with no consideration to their convictions. Hence no mitigation.

He was given no reason to be lenient and the current legislation supports him.

Now... Is the current legislation too extreme? That's a discussion worth having.
