Except that the version most distributions that are ridding themselves of python2 are using is a new python3 ported version. As far as I know the maintainer of that repository isn't touching it anymore, which is why it isn't linked. https://asciidoc3.org/
I've also had this happen to me- driving from Boone, North Carolina to Charlotte, I usually avoid highways because the interstates are a bit overwhelming to me. I took one different turn as I was trying to avoid downtown in a rural city I was driving through; they were having a block party and the usual route was blocked off. It's routed me through that turn ever since, so saying Google is learning from where people drive even enough to start making routes, that doesn't seem too farfetched for me.
TIGER's great, but if you're going to use it you might as well just use OpenStreetMap in the end; a lot of the data in the US is based on TIGER data and then reviewed, as TIGER has had a lot of issues with things like misnamed roads and misalignments of roads.
It's awesome to see that even Hacker News isn't immune to transphobia and falling into the lie that being transgender is ignoring biology. What a load of trash.
I looked up the author, and discovered that Libby Emmons is a transphobe (or more accurately a trans-exclusionary radical feminist), at least from reading this one in which she tries to posit that trans women are just in it because we're objectifying misogynistic parodies of women. Great. http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/03/how-the-hypersexual-tran... (check out that weak attempt to reference Kant's thing in itself near the end and how it completely misses the point that it is non-physical- which is exactly what gender is insisted to be by many trans people)
I did, and I agree it was neutral. I'm referring to the conversation that always follows these sorts of things. People insisting that free speech means neo-nazis should be allowed to spread their message of hate.
This is effectively the problem with all of these "things programmers assume" articles: they give no solutions and effectively just moan about possible problems.
"The new prompt [to disable ad blocking] will appear on the Atlantic’s site Monday but will not take full effect until the site is finished transitioning from HTTP to HTTPS, [...] once complete, ad-blocking users will no longer be able to read content on the site without disabling their software or buying the new subscription."
I'm just really excited to see how on earth they plan to follow through with that vague threat. I don't believe I've ever seen an ad block plugin get successfully thwarted in a way the plugin couldn't just filter out itself.
They still don't have a way to build a release without a network connection. Which basically means any secure (builds in sandbox) source-based distro can't package it.
