the majority of the population doesn’t identify this as being nazism.

That’s a big claim for no citation.

Taxonomy.

• A cat is [animal]
• A dog is an [animal]

The nazi’s did such a good job of distinguishing themselves they created their own (colloquial) taxonomic branch.

So [nazi] could be considered a parent grouping of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and also potentially a parent grouping for the republicans.

I think they key here is separating the nazi party from the [nazi] category

As you pointed out all [nazi]'s are [fascist]'s but not all [fascist]'s are [nazi]'s

• National Socialist German Workers’ Party were [nazi]'s
• The American Republican Party are subjectively showing enough similarities (both in type and progression) that they get the provisional label of [nazi] as it’s the closest existing definition.

Might turn out that they don’t quite fall in the same branch, might turn out they do. Until then [nazi] is an easy shortcut for describing the types of behaviour displayed.

Even if they were just a direct descendent ( taxonomically ) rather than a sibling of the original nazi party there would still be an argument to claim they were nazi’s

Like :

• animal -> mammal -> cat
• nazi -> nazi party -> republican

Come back in a few years and you’ll probably get your definitive answer either way.

You don’t have to agree with any of that of course, but it does demonstrate how someone might have an opposing opinion to your own.

Well, at least they aren’t pretending to accept longer passwords but actually truncating it, like they used to in hotmail and live.

They were silently truncating the passwords to something like the first 16 characters, the rest was ignored.

Apologies, i cannot divulge that information as per the NDA i signed at the time.

If people would realize that they try to leave out the terms autism and autistic for a wrong reason (and maybe they don’t) that would be a success

That’s phrased in such a way that it seems you think that the only reason to use “on the spectrum” is to purposely leave out the word autism.

If that’s what you mean then i disagree, It’s only my own anecdotal experience, but it’s still at least one instance where what you are possibly suggesting is not true.

Coming from a “my interpretation is the only interpretation” viewpoint is an easy way to get confusing input from the world, at least in my personal experience.

It’s not about choosing whether something is offensive to me or not, but whether it is, be it intended or not.

I also disagree with this, offense is inherently subjective, I’d put good money on me not being the only person who thinks that.

I will however concede that “choose” was a bad choice of word on my part, as it’s not always as simple as “choosing”.

I am aware that people don’t usually use it to purposefully be offensive, and in that sense I can understand it - but that doesn’t change that (depending on the unconscious reason) it is offensive anyway.

See my answer above about subjective opinion vs objective fact.

But it being offensive to you, regardless of intent, i can understand, which is what i was trying to address with :

You can choose to find the phrase itself offensive and let people know of your opinion, but you should probably manage your expectations around how other people are using it so you can get an accurate reading on social intent.

I phrased that poorly, i think it would be better phrased as :

If you find the phrase itself offensive regardless of intent, you can let people know of your opinion, but you should probably at least try to understand the intent behind it so you can more accurately assess the social context and act accordingly.

for example, if you know they don’t intend to be offensive and you react with hostility, that’s a valid choice, but it does come with consequences, knowing about the potential consequences beforehand means you can better prepare yourself.

I don’t personally consider this a language issue as much as a people issue.

IIRC the current evaluation methodologies are heavily tied to the idea of a spectrum of traits, each with their own scale.

As you say, there are other spectrum diagnoses including autism, so “on the spectrum” is technically correct.

Which is why i consider the issue you seem to be describing as a person issue, not a language one.

A person using a descriptor or label with the intention of being an arsehole could just as easily use a different word or phrase.

Using something that isn’t inherently considered offensive however, gives them some plausible deniability.

You can choose to find the phrase itself offensive and let people know of your opinion, but you should probably manage your expectations around how other people are using it so you can get an accurate reading on social intent.

The server CPU’s are called epyc and they are powerful, but not in the same way.

Server CPU’s are geared to different types of workloads but if you built a desktop workstation with decent one it would be still be a beast.

I wasn’t arguing that the server CPU’s aren’t powerful, i was saying that the latest ryzen desktop cpu was something I’d personally consider to also be powerful.

The threadrippers are also up there in terms of power, but the OP was specifically talking about ryzen.

I mean, going by wikipedia the latest (desktop) ryzen cpu released was the 9950X3D…i’d personally tag that as powerful.

everybody has their subjective scale of power i suppose.

My experiences are similar to yours, though less k8’s focused and more general DevSecOps.

it becomes a battle between custom-fitting and generalisation.

This is mentioned in the link as “Barely General Enough” I’m not sure i fully subscribe to that specific interpretation but the trade off between generalisation and specialisation is certainly a point of contention in all but the smallest dev houses (assuming they are not just cranking hard coded one-off solutions).

I dislike the yaml syntax, in the same way i dislike python, but it is pervasive in the industry at the moment so you work with that you have.

I don’t think yaml is the issue as much as the uncontrolled nature of the usage.

You’d have the same issue with any format as flexible to interpretation that was being created/edited by hand.

As in, if the yaml were generated and used automatically as part of a chain i don’t think it’d be an issue, but it is not nearly prescriptive enough to produce the high level kind of model definitions further up the requirements stack.

note: i’m not saying it couldn’t be done in yaml, i’m saying that it would be a massive effort to shoehorn what was needed into a structure that wasn’t designed for that kind of thing

Which then brings use back to the generalisation vs specialisation argument, do you create a hyper-specific dsl that allows you only to define things that will work within the boundaries of what you want, does that mean it can only work in those boundaries or do you introduce more general definitions and the complexity that comes with that.

Whether or not the solution is another layer of abstraction into a different format or something else entirely i’m not sure, but i am sure that raw yaml isn’t it.

AFAICT MASD is an iteration on MDE which incorporates parts of MAD but not in a direct fashion.

Lots of acronyms there.

These types of systems do exist, they just aren’t mainstream because there hasn’t been a version of them that could be easily used for general development outside of the specific mid-level niches they are built in.

I think it’s the goal, but I’ve not seen anything come close yet.

Admittedly I’m not an authority so it may just be me missing the important things.

so, MASD(or MDE) then ?

A worldwide revolution in which everyone unites against the “ruling class” isn’t a viable alternative in and of itself, that’s like saying “world peace”.

An example of an alternative would be something which could fill in the blank in this sentence and make sense.

“Don’t boycott products/companies, that isn’t how you achieve your goal, what you should be doing is <BLANK>”

This is not a war between nations but a war between class

The issue i have with this isn’t that it’s a marxist cliche (i’ll take your word on that, I’ve no idea) it’s that it presents a false dichotomy in which a class war and a national war can’t both be occurring at the same time.

I suspect more people than you think realise this is a potential outcome.

Assuming it boils over before there is another election (also assuming that’s a thing that happens), military action is 100% a playable card.

It’s a toddler with a nuclear tantrum button.

It’s honestly not that much different in type than most nuclear powered nations.

The difference is “absolute last resort, and only maybe then” vs “they won’t let me annex Greenland and are being mean to me”

Hyperbolic ofc, but illustrative.

What are the reasonable good alternatives though?

Americano is not even American

I mean that’s a pretty specific phrasing.

I said it’s not American, as in it doesn’t come from the US.

Those are not the same things, but i know what you mean now, so thanks.

The name is very specifically a reference to america

a sequel is in the works : https://www.remedygames.com/games/control-2

fair enough

Also, i know it sounds stupid, but check it anyway…have you removed the plastic cover (if there is one ) on the cpu cooler side.

Hah, 3 whole comments, all of them nuts.

Another bot for the blocklist.

ah, my bad, that was two different responses, only the first line was directed at you.

i’ve edited the response to be clearer.
