  2. The #DH 2011 (big tent digital humanities) website is currently no longer working. I was still able to access it last autumn. Does anyone know whether this is just a temporary problem or has the site actually been taken offline? dh2011.stanford.edu #defining-notdefiningDH

  3. I am trying to take a program that works on Win32 and build it on Linux. An enum with a field named "Always" is failing to compile with a strange error. With a sinking suspicion, I look in the system headers and discover that /usr/include/X11/X.h is #defining "Always" to 2.

    The Open Group, what the hell??? I don't suppose X11 has an equivalent of #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #define NOMINMAX does it … :(

  4. So I did a thing. I wanted to take out some of the #Sexism in #ODND so went Alignment impacting instead of Gender divisive. Looked at the decision to take this path and tried to make the characters have strong #Alignment impacts from rolling their stats defining the characters choices. Some characters should not have certain stats as part of #Exploring and #defining the characters during random creation, in order to reinforce the universe and campaign tropes for the system. #RPG #RGPDdesign

  7. The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case next term that could #preempt Congress and the Biden administration from instituting a #federal #wealth #tax — another potentially lucrative gift for conservative justices’ billionaire benefactors and the super rich.
    A think tank affiliated with some of those benefactors recently pressed the court to accept the case and outlaw such taxes.
    The new case, #Moore v. United States, is tailored to try to block Democrats’ promised agenda by #defining what can — and cannot — count as #taxable#income” under the Constitution.
    It specifically challenges a one-time levy on some shareholders for their foreign corporate earnings that was included in the 2017 Republican tax law.
    The plaintiffs are a Washington state couple who faced a $15,000 tax bill under that provision for a stake they owned in an Indian company. They argue that their #corporate #earnings should #not count as taxable income under the Constitution because they had not been distributed to shareholders as #dividends.
    The real goal of the case is “to slam shut the door on a #federal #wealth #tax,” as the couple’s lawyers wrote in a 2021 column. The couple’s petition to the Supreme Court expressly decries previous wealth tax proposals from Democrats, including Biden, and urges the justices to “head off a major constitutional clash down the line

  8. #Police would find their own #actions #appalling. Their use of #violence and #disregard of #training are their #defining #policies.
    Sadly, if you showed police how they #abuse the #community, they would just #react like #abusers and #say the community #deserves the abuse and 'made them' use violence.
    You can't #reform this #broken #construct.
