I don't much care for the term "mansplained", but I think it's a stretch to say it's sexist language. It's a simple colloquialism that refers to a well-known phenomenon.
Until they added that line I didn't know the gender of the person writing the article. Explaining something to someone who looks like they don't know something has nothing to do with gender. That they associate it with gender is on their end and shows their bias.
Really funny to see stuff like this on hackers news.
Liberals arts majors appropriate mathematical language in an attempt to appropriate mathematics' reputation. Why is racism "prejudice + power" in this philosophy rather than "prejudice AND power"? It's because liberal art majors know that the lay public is more likely to believe mathematical conclusions than e.g. psychology or sociology or critical race theory conclusions. So they wrap their race theory arguments in mathematical language in order to trade on mathematics' sterling reputation for rigour and correctness.
It's always funny to see things like this on hacker news because well... There are a lot of mathematicians here. We know what "plus" actually means, and well, there's no sense in which "plus" fits.
Do you honestly believe this is something only men do? You don’t think there’s even a chance that maybe the existence of the “mainsplaining” concept is self-reinforcing, since every instance of a man doing it will be further evidence it exists (confirmation bias), other cases will be ignored, and anyone who questions it is socially marked as incel or MRA-adjacent?
How do you know, and why do you care, about the sex of the commenter?
Also, how sad that an offer of teaching is rejected with such bitter contempt. I have absolutely relished the times in my life when someone has explained something to me. That's how I learn.
When you're typing, you don't have to press the Caps Lock key twice for every capital you want to type. You can simply hold the shift key to get a capital letter, instead – or get a real keyboard.
Nice try but giving me completely unrelated information out of the blue is not what is under discussion here. If you had corrected me grammar or something, I would have been thankful.
The biggest problem here is people treating others how they would be treated. That's right, the problem is people following the golden rule. People explain things because they themselves appreciate explanations. Maybe other people need to be more empathetic and understand that these explanations are coming from a good place.
When somebody says “please don't explain this to me again, because I know how to do it” and people explain it to them, that's clearly not following the Golden Rule.
It's funny, for at least the first example, original pronunciation just sounds like Hagrid from the Harry Potter movies, which is especially interesting considering that's intended to be a less formal/"lower class" accent. Reminds me of something I heard once that the modern american accent is actually closer to the british accent at the time of the revolutionary war, and it's the british accent that's changed more since then. No idea if that's actually true, but it was really interesting when I heard it.
Hagrid has a West Country accent. The character is supposed to come from the Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, and the accent is approximately from that area. The most obvious difference from RP English is that it has the rhotic "R", which is how it's closer to standard American and to historical English accents. The non-rhotic R is also found in the Boston accect ("hahvahd yahd").
I seem to remember that the closest thing to an old school English is a costal Maryland/Virginia accent. Which sorta makes sense historically speaking.
Maybe there's a bundler/webpack plugin that supports deno's import system, so it just fetches whatever http urls/analyzes the import maps and turns it into a normal web bundle.
Deno’s import system is just the ecmascript import system. So, it works exactly the same way it does in the browser. Or with curl. Or whatever. You just supply a uri and get the resource at that location. Things like import maps are just a way to make that more convenient during development, but there’s no secret system for pulling these pieces together; it’s just the ecmascript module standard (that didn’t exist until more recently).
Maybe the intent is for it to be read as "If you're using pytorch and numpy, it's _very_ likely you're making this mistake", but the effect is still that the headline is clickbait
> the interface is what matters, and the implementation is secondary.
But that's kind-of the point IMO - if we take a free-market approach to this, copying (or sort of "standardizing" onto) an API allows for more innovation, since it's not a prohibitive up-front cost to switching the implementation. We don't copyright (or I guess patent, and I know they're different) the user interface of a fridge. Any fridge can have 2 doors and a slide-out freezer, but it's the actual implementation that would matter to a user - how energy-efficient it is, how cold it can get, extra conveniences (maybe akin to API extensions) like a water/ice dispenser that still can be "copied"/used by other fridges. And I'm sure that maybe those "interfaces" were patented originally, but it seems absurd now that they're so commonplace to restrict who can implement them.
This is sorta similar to rustpython_wasm[0] - I haven't been super focused on it recently, but I'd love to eventually have something as in-depth and well-designed as this. Currently it has all the necessary APIs (I think) to communicate however you want between JS and Python, but I'd like to have some sort of JSProxy object in Python so accessing JS APIs can look like it does in JS. Currently, you have to do something like:
Hah, I did something sorta similar in my freshman year of high school - I noticed that emails sent to the whole school were sent to mailing lists (in gmail's terminology - not sure what this kind of address is in actual email standards) called "allYYYY.student.school.org", where YYYY is the graduation year of a grade and student.school.org is the domain all our student emails were at. I hadn't seen that kind of email address/mailing list address before, so I wondered whether it was just a legit email address as well. It turned out it was (it was for a google group in the domain also called "allYYYY" IIRC) so when I sent an email with subject line "Hello" and body "?" to allYYYY(at)student.school.org to see if it would give me a mailer daemon response, that got sent to all ~800 people in my grade, some of whom promptly started replying to all. Eventually a couple kids started sending edgy memes, so I was called into my dean's office and asked to forward them the whole thread so that they would know they weren't missing out on anything "dangerous" (I think the main one they were concerned about was a picture of someone shooting a gun with the caption "I would literally die if a guy did this to me"). Then they locked down the capabilities on the google group, so no more unapproved email campaigns :(
Nice! I've been following HPy for a while, and I'd like to eventually implement it in RustPython[0] (the blockers to doing so are mostly on our part, not theirs). I'm hopeful that this will vastly improve compatibility for native modules for interpreters other than CPython - numpy seems almost impossible to get working in RustPython without something like HPy.
