This is a mentally ill person who was driven to an extreme and felt there was nothing better to do than take his own life.
There is no message that should be said other than to urge anyone who is feeling similar distress needs to know that there are people who love them and no matter what there is always a better alternative.
By condoning it for political purposes you give an out for the mentally ill to commit “legitimate” suicide, or worse to being manipulated into doing so. This is not a slippert slope, it is a hard line that many in these comments have crossed - which is why it needs to be said that there is a better path and there are resources.
If you feel so strongly about it - do it. The likelihood of you being killed is pretty low compared to the amount of people you’d actually help by helping distribute food, etc. If it’s too far away, then you can always start small - volunteer at your local food pantry, soup kitchen, etc.
Because it apparently needs to be said:
If you are in crisis, please talk to someone who can help - if you don’t feel comfortable talking with close friends or family - you can either call 988 in the United States or Canada, or find a relevant local resource via IASP
Suicide ideation is never good. There are always better alternatives than taking your own life.
Holy propaganda batman!
The list of articles on that website is…extremely focused on one subject only.
What is it with Islamic terrorism and symbolic anniversaries? Is it part of a conscious effort to push memorial activities out of the news cycle? Or is it purely to spread terror?
So you hope that Hamas and Hezbollah continue firing rockets at civilians?
Headlines are sampled randomly for the first few hours of an article going live to measure exposure. The headline that gets the most clicks wins.
There are a lot of sites that do this.
It causes headaches when it comes to social. Usually the original headline is preserved in the url, but sometimes they’ll use a unique id and then include the editorialized headline option so they can track which headline you clicked on.
Also editorial decisions on wording based on pushback, legal threats, etc.
Locks are only held during system calls. Process termination is handled on the system call boundary.
You’re projecting windows kernel insanity where it doesn’t belong.
What the duck Microsoft bullshit is this?
There is no concept of locked files in extfs, much less inside the kernel. Resource locks and unkillable processes is some windows bullshit that no sane operating system would touch with a ten foot pole.
That’s…actually not a bad idea. Take the user-domain name pairs and weigh the edges between domains by the number of unique users who posted from both domains.
For producing clusters from the resulting graph should be easy, but aside from just saying “these are similar websites” does it really say much?
You could do something similar with comment/upvote/downvote based linkages - maybe they’ll have some deeper semantic meaning
I don’t see an easy way to accomplish this without either pulling in the full text of every article over some period and running something like paragraph/doc/site vectors and then clustering by site vector.
That’s putting a lot of faith into unsupervised learning, and it’s probably just as likely to pick up on stylistic conventions like byline and date formats as it is to cluster by some common thematic pattern like political leaning.
I thought of something: does this count as him having played a single game that is both a loss and a win? Or as playing in two games?
Some poor soul is going to try to do data validation and figure out that the number of wins plus the number of losses does not equal the number of games played, and it’s 100% legit.
Does that mean the engagement band is just a semiring?
Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?
Lemmy doesn’t have karma farming because it doesn’t have karma.
Accounts earn their reputation based on name recognition, not some artificial score.
I think the bot is incredibly useful. The criticism falls under a very specific group of users being very loud about their preferred source not ranking the way they expect.
Linking additional sources will improve it. Wikipedia maintains an active list and has an incentive to do so. Personally, I’d like to see a transparent methodology applied to a source: number of articles retracted silently, corrections issued in last 30 days, etc.
That having been said, I’d rather see efforts invested in other areas rather than inventing yet another “weighing” function for multiple ratings. Let us decide if mbfc is good enough or if we prefer ad fontes or Wikipedia or whoever. Give us two or three options and let us decide on our own.
There’s a fine line between disrespecting a fallible opinion and disrespecting the person. In writing, it’s easy to cross that line. It’s ok to disagree with people, but it’s important to sometimes take the step back and remember that the person is larger than any singular decision. There’s likely context you’re missing that lead them to that decision.
The biggest thing to remember is that more likely than not, if you really and truly fuck up your job, chances are the worst you do is create extra work for your team. They probably won’t even be in danger of losing their jobs if you truly screw up. It’s not likely that people will die. The blast radius of most software engineering jobs is incredibly small.
That is a valid reason to move to Scotland
