Great point... On Sword and Laser (a book club/podcast) the idea of different types of reader is often discussed; i.e. what's the main driver behind liking a book:

  - Plot
  - World Building
  - Character
  - etc (There's a specific list mentioned, but I can't recall it)
That's the simpler classification side of things, so easier to code up... Your example of the canoe trip would be significanlty more complex; but definitely more a scenario worthy of AI over basic heuristics... and something that would need a conversation to drill down into (i.e. did the story evoke the scenery of their trip, or was it reflecting the relationship between the people, etc).


NB: GitHub was purchased by MS 5 years ago. All these events are in the last month.

It's apparant that it wasn't without issues prior to acquisition (e.g. a quick search for GitHub issues prior to 2018 gives this: https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/31/github-goes-down-and-takes...) - reporting issues in 2017, 2015, and 2012.

I don't have the data to comment on whether it was better before or after MS acquisition, but would suggest this isn't the best sample size to base any conclusions on.



It seems several people have encountered the same issues in the past week, after not seeing anything before. Sharing here as likely others are having the issue but haven't gone to the forums / maybe other Android users who aren't on FairPhones are also impacted by the issue.

I thought sharing here may aid discovery / if we can collect data from those hitting this issue maybe we can more easily identify the underlying cause.


Presumably 6 months later you'll have to put your body clock forwards again in time for Spring.


Depends where you live.

If you copy code from one of the answers on SO, you'll see this pop up in the corner: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ex4NzK9WUAA33Ko?format=png&name=...

I'd say "blacklist" and "whitelist" are more offensive / have a stronger argument of colour being used to discriminate (albeit not directly related to races) / would be better to have "deny list" and "allow list".

"Race condition" is just as offensive as "Master Branch" - neither are relating to prejudice / historic injustice; but use different meanings of these potentially loaded words.

That said, nothing against switching to non-loaded terms; especially if the effort to do so is less than the effort to debate it. But we mustn't accuse people of being racist just because they're using terminology that some are offended by when those using the terminology are simply using terminology they've learnt, and could have no reasonable expectation to have considered that it may be deemed offsensive.


I am much a dord
