If "in the park" is meant as an analogy for "on the platform" in content moderation, then curiously enough Twitter suspended @RealDonaldTrump for off-park action (Jan 6).
A wheelchair is used for transporting a person.
Let's say that in your opinion: (a) it's a vehicle, (b) it's in the park, (c) but the park authority doesn't have jurisdiction over the activity. Is the correct resolution to deny (b)? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what…

Indeed - though I think this is a mathematical philosophy about theories. "Genius" is a nice word choice to emphasize your point - it refers to some kind of distinct spirit that happens to inspire the person, not the…
Business data / process flow is so stable compared to a software implementation that having quality documentation pays dividends again and again. If you could document only one thing, document the business data flow.
Except when update schedule on the client differs from the server.
sure, except obviously sunrise at 6AM and sunset at 6PM.
Yes, this is said, but the meaning of "prove" (which is related to "probe") has not really changed very much at all compared to "test" - a word which in this sense is a metonym from the fired pot used for assay of…
The primary definition (OED) is "forming an exception", which is why I think this cliche is a tautology ("exceptions are for forming an exception") that does nothing to guide me on whether an exception is appropriate in…
English also has the phrase "the exception proves the rule" - and it's just swell when our general code handles special cases. I would have not have thought an unreachable host was exceptional, given that it's quite…
"exceptions are exceptional" means what?
"round corners feel natural" is no better explanation than "round corners are smoother".

You are unsure whether "2 + 2 = 4" is real, but certain that "2 + 2 + 4 = 8" is.
It's a matter of language and logic. "another" is a contraction of "one other", and "other" means "distinct". So, given you have "one (element) and one different (element)", at that point, you have, ipso facto, 2…
Nice toy example. > What information about the whole dataset can you extract from this join? You could count the number of users.
You over-fit the "fallacy of irrelevance". This is my feeling about the Monty Hall problem: The fact that Monty is now offering me the option to take make chances and switch to the other door, after I have chosen this…
I can see how you might avoid "highly coupled with implementation details" example-based tests. With a little abstraction, you can do the same with property-based tests. Properties as external assertions that you code…
