so if I'm a self driving car with no backup operator, do I prioritize the safety of my passengers? if I have to run down 5 people to keep my rider safe, do I do that? what if I have to do the whole run over your mother / a baby / a nun or run over a bunch of assholes? how are they ever going to solve for this, because whatever it chooses will be wrong
No need for moral choices (and no capability for it anyway with machines)... how about just don't hit stuff?
walmart.com has less than half the stuff amazon.com has and the website is terrible, if you select to shop for only items at your local store they dont omit the only only stuff, so if you want to see what is in the store before you get in the car and drive to the store it is pointless, i refuse to shop there anymore, because their website is such a screwed up kludge,
Try the Android app.
It will not only tell you what's in store (easily, there are two tabs at the top of your search results), it will tell if it's in stock and what aisle it is in (like "G22").

My pet peeve right there... browser screenshots without the address (URL) field, or even with no browser chrome at all so you can't see what browser it even is.
1. How is this remotely related to technology?
2. PART of ONE neighbourhood received an evacuation order... and this is world-newsworthy HOW??
3. How the fuck does MAGMA flow on the SURFACE??? We are nerds, remember.
4. This is local news to Big Island, Hawaii. And our story is from... a Chicago newspaper? WTF.
Is the whole point of this post so that neckbeards can make "Puu oo" jokes?
Well, because it's George Bush's... sorry, I mean Trump's fault, of course!! Somehow...
Alt-PrtScrn for the window, Shift-PrtScrn for the whole screen. Paste it into Paint (or whatever) and do whatever to it.
Always hated sitting down to someone else's Windows computer and having heaven knows what third party tool pop up when using those key combos. At least they are using a new key combo...
They plan to raise prices, slash what they carry, and then create their own line of boutique generics that are more expensive then name brand. It'll be a winner.
There is communication among developers in F/OSS projects, just not (typically) face-to-face meetings. If one person is obnoxious to certain groups, people of those groups are likely to be less enthusiastic about the project, and the project suffers.
I don't know much about Outreachy. But a program that encourages participation by women and minorities requiring that funding candidates actually be women or minorities doesn't seem at all out of place for the purpose of the organization.
My initial reaction is that he's either lying about his reasons or is so self-unaware that he doesn't understand his own motivations.
Well, that's lovely that you can read his mind and know his motivations better than he can, but... his stated primary reason is not wanting to be associated with Outreachy, which does discriminate based on sex and ancestry.
So, basically, it sounds like he's taking issue with the fact that they expect him to treat dark skinned people and people with boobs as equals and with respect. We all know that's crazy talk and the work of the evil SJW conspiracy. (If you can't tell that I'm speaking sarcastically, you need help.)
No.
"The last drop was llvm associating itself with an organization that openly discriminates based on sex and ancestry".
In other words, he's the one who is against discriminating on sex and ancestry, and the project has officially taken leave of that.
He is in fact against discrimination and Outreachy's exclusionary nature.
Ah, but it's all about who you exclude... excluding currently disfavored groups is just peachy.
They literally have institutions that overtly discriminate. But they are "bravely" against ancient institutional discrimination that ended long before they were born.
I'm not surprised that this stuff turns some people off and causes them to say "fine, enough is enough. I was here for the code."
Most free software projects, nobody ever even sees you. If they don't seem to like your contributions, it's probably not because they are big wacist toxic masculine meanie weenies.
Don't like politics creeping in? GOP has been pushing identity politics since before Bush W with the whole marriage ban and sodomy laws, there is gonna be a push-back and people aren't going to like it.
Were you born like, yesterday? You have the sequence of events and who is the aggressor exactly backward.
... then they'd be half decent coders and wouldn't be coding in babyscript, sorry, javascript. This language is where idiots and MBAs straight off an "Anyone can code!" course end up, writing Hello World style programs using half a dozen libraries to create a Hello factory and a World factory with another factory that joins factories which then creates a HelloWorld object that eventually outputs a string via some StringOutputter object.
You do realize that you are describing Java (or some other "real" language), right? Not JavaScript?
JavaScript usually only ends up looking like that because someone comes to it thinking "I have to make this more like a "real" language..."

I think that pretty much covers it? ;)

They should be prosecuted instead for selling phones with tons of preinstalled unremovable crapware, coupled with the storage space of a Vic20.

Indeed. That appears to be why he left.
Oh, you meant something else?
One would need to first prove that the under-representation is caused by discrimination, before corrective action is justified.
Yes, exactly.
Strangely enough, when people start treating you like you've done something horrible, and you haven't, people don't like that.
I don't know much about Outreachy. But a program that encourages participation by women and minorities requiring that funding candidates actually be women or minorities doesn't seem at all out of place for the purpose of the organization.
