There are some examples in the very first list I found googling for “cancel culture examples”.
Not all of them are political (e.g. cancelling someone for sexual assault is clearly not, and that Heineken one… how??), but a decent number are, e.g. number 6 is about as partisan as you can get.
It’s a fairly inevitable reaction to cancel culture. This was predicted and warned against when left-wing cancel culture was at its height, but people didn’t listen. Now we have right-wing cancel culture instead.
I wouldn’t recommend the Gang of Four book. Many of the design patterns they espouse are way over complicated from the days of peak OOP. You know, FactoryFactoryVisitor stuff. Usually best avoided.
Yeah, I use Claude/ChatGPT sometimes for:
I haven’t got around to setting up any of that agentic stuff yet. Based on my experience of the chat stuff I’m a bit skeptical it will be good enough to be useful on anything of the complexity I work on. Find for CRUD apps but it’s not going to understand niche compiler internals or do stuff with WASM runtimes that nobody has ever done before.
He’s right, zstd is incredibly popular, quite widely used and also generally believed to be the best compression algorithm overall.
They use QAM and similar because it’s the best way to transmit data over a small number of long wires. Exactly the opposite of wires inside a CPU.
This video confuses at least three different concepts - quantum uncertainty, ternary computers, and “unknown” values.
Ternary computers are just not as good as binary computers. The way silicon works, it’s always going to be much much slower.
“Unknown” values can be useful - they are common in SystemVerilog for example. But you rarely just have true, false and unknown, so it makes zero sense to bake that into the hardware. Verilog has 4 values - true, false, unknown and disconnected. VHDL has something like 9!
And even then the “unknown” isn’t as great as you might think. It’s basically poor-man’s symbolic execution and is unable to cope with things like let foo = some_unknown_value ? true : true. Yes that does happen and you won’t like the “solution”.
High level programming concepts like option will always map more cleanly onto binary numbers.
Overall, very confused video that is trying to make it sound like there’s some secret forgotten architecture or alternative history when there definitely isn’t.
I’ve never used it - what don’t you like about it?
The great replacement conspiracy is that demographic change is a deliberate plan by “elites”. That’s clearly absurd. It’s happening despite their best efforts to stop it.
And when I say “it’s happening”, I mean in London, which is clearly an outlier.
Yeah because the native population of Britain is 97% white.
I bet people in Spain where British people all retire (or did until Brexit) have exactly the same complaints about cultural change and I don’t think they’re racist against British people.
you believe in the great replacement
I don’t believe there is a conspiracy to replace native Londoners. You’re putting words in my mouth. I do believe that it is happening because census data shows that it is! Do you not?
I should probably stop replying because you’re just making up things that I have supposedly said (seems to be a theme here!)
You’re so convinced that everyone who disagrees with you is some far right racist.
I don’t even agree with DHH! But he clearly doesn’t have view that are so out there that he needs to be cancelled. If anything the people screeching to ostracize him are more extreme.
The is exactly like the trans people vs JKR debating. The answer is in the middle, and JKR is definitely too strident in her views but also she isn’t literally Hitler. You don’t need to boycott board game companies because they happen to publish a Harry Potter game. Ffs.
If you’re asking if I know how to read a chart on Wikipedia, the answer is yes.
Isn’t “great replacement” a conspiracy that this is a deliberately plan by ethnic minorities? I don’t see him claiming that anywhere.
His numbers are suss but the demographic change in London is dramatic (not as much as he claimed but still). Hopefully Wikipedia is an acceptable source.

No I don’t think it’s racist to want to live in a city that is predominantly occupied by similar people to you. I think his stats are wrong - London is still mostly British people (at least it was when I last went). But imagine if it was like 95% Indian people. That would a huge change and a big cultural shift and yes I think it’s ok to object to that with instantly becoming racist.
Yeah that would be reasonable if he actually did want to hang black people from trees.
you’ve been fairly obvious in your cryptofascism
Wow first time I’ve been accused of fascism! Quite riduclous.
It’s not obvious to me. Which bit is transphobic exactly?
Good policy, but where did he ever say that?
AI AI blah blah AI.
Also why is HCL supposedly the 9th most popular “programming language” (which it isn’t anyway)?
