there's a metamaturity model somewhere that says yes

Which, of course, the marines themselves can't use.

"can't get sued for disability discrimination when nobody diagnosed the disability" in play here too, for which fuck 'em

As well as treating ADHD like a joke diagnosis (as an ADHDer diagnosed in my 30s after years of struggling and now benefiting from medication, I can assure you it is not), this is de facto privatisation.

Given the party system in the USA means that anyone can register as a democrat, win a primary and become the dem candidate in an election, whereas in the UK labour party you have a top down executive apparatus that is jealously guarded and controlled by whichever faction is currently winning...

No

I think it's really worth remembering that for all the tub thumping about cracking down on asylum it has never been in the interest of nationalist politicians to reduce asylum by dealing with international human rights atrocities at their source.

you get garbage whatever you put in

A little more continuity here, but my life had always been pretty isolated. Just don't ask for photos between the ages of 16 and 20, I'm told they're horrifying.

Zombies as a [Medical] Service

Take care and good luck. Can't imagine I'm first choice, but you can probably find safer places to contact me too.

yes

Now, if I see a moving car on the pavement...

"Am I in the arctic? Is it a grizzly? No?..."

(though if I know the unfamiliar man's a bear that might swing it)

I mean, depending on how long it's going to be otherwise I might play with the danger kitty until it got fed up, but very much not the point

The MSFP2020 talk is "neater" in its presentation (two MSP101s into two SPLS talks into one workshop talk!), but is missing pieces you probably want: it and its extended abstract (which includes some missing pieces) might be a good place to start still?

Happy to chat f2f once I'm a bit better, too

I've got a big pile of slides from variant talks etc - flippac.org/posts/Inform... has links to a bunch of material and I gave two SPLS talks in 2019 with the second one being closer to "the recipe" as opposed to "the ingredients"

Martine Croxall broke rules over 'pregnant people' facial expression, BBC says The BBC newsreader was reading out a news bulletin about research on groups most at risk in UK heatwaves.

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

("Death-or-glory" excludes the middle of "dunno yet", errors that are mostly a collection of "dunno yet" can be managed without search/backtracking and the interaction between search and genuine unknowns generally wants some care in where your branching could be and why)

Search certainly gives you a whole new world of possible worries! Or a whole universe of such worlds...

I mean, it's not Joe Kucan, so yeah

Generalise only over things that are as solved as they'll get

(it's possible to have a constraint system structured so you can ask when, but much better to be told when it's happened!)

Type Checking in Context demonstrates a technique for that [using the context in lieu of a constraint store] using Hindley-Milner as a minimal example.

I've done the same thing and have at least part of a recipe for deriving that flavour of constraint store/system: had two slow years in a row too.

Not only constraints in general but also on the order you solve constraints in! Which is to say: if your constraint system doesn't know about them, it'll mess up.

(This is profoundly not news and also another thing Epigram 1 did)

I think there is an idea on here that Access to Medical Transition is the most radical/root Material Demand, which is why there is a certain anger when that framing gets questioned. But I believe that while obviously access to medical transition is part of the agenda it's far from the most important

Starmer can nationalise water and rail, but chooses to continue the shareholders' gravy train.
Starmer can stop all arms exports to, and support for Israel, but chooses to support genocide.

Starmer is NOT on your side. Starmer serves and protects the very rich, and Israel, at YOUR expense.

Selling makeup to eldar does sound kinda rough! (sorry)

...too young to ask where the USB C cable needs to go, right?

The idea that by blocking people you're denying them the opportunity to hear opposing opinions is garbage. If you genuinely want to expose YOURSELF to opposing opinions in good faith, it's really easy to do that without getting mass blocked. It doesn't mean anyone else has to listen to you.

Yeah, the same goes for vitamin D absorption problems and the like

(see also: in complex systems usually more than one thing's gone wrong by the time you can see something's wrong...)
