Programming Forth caused the most massive change in my programming mindset (the LSD of programming languages). Even more so than Lisp. Thinking of the rapid rise of the base language to the problem domain (i.e. it's a DSL construction kit) opened my eyes to how to design useful and extensible APIs.
This is exactly the problem. Have /you/ contemplated what would happen if you applied that reasoning to any other group (e.g. Jews, Blacks, Oracle employees)?
X is a better experience for me now, than it was before Elon's takeover. If I don't want to see something, I don't look at. If I don't want to allow someone to interact with me, I block them. If I believe something is bullshit/a lie, I participate in the community notes.
I don't need a nanny to pre-chew my information for me.
Yes. It's there to keep things unspecified. If you leave the job, you're not paid out unused vacation. If you use too much, you run afoul of an unspoken rule
"We published what we thought was a valid paper on a fat man in red that lives on the north pole and gives presents to children at the end of December. Unfortunately we didn't realize that the aeronautical data on his flying reindeer was falsified. This was clearly data fraud, and has no impact on us being a trustworthy peer-reviewed journal." lol
Focusing on "fabricating observational data" is a cope for the fact that Boghossian et al made the targets of their papers look like absolute fools. The problem with the paper "Human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon" wasn't that the data was wrong.
Sokal and Boghossian's work intended (and succeeded?) to accomplish the same thing: they demonstrated the fact that these academic disciplines are full of bullshit producers and consumers.
