The term I used wasn't really the point.

Good luck. I agree that they should be neutral, but I still wouldn't want to give my money to a company shields neo-nazis.

The republicans have been marching towards the tea party side of things for a long time. So even if a person is reasonable themselves their is a very good chance they support unreasonable people.

Personally I think who you vote for is a damn good indicator of who you are as a person.

and before that he was for it, then against it.

Do we base morality on what politicians think is the best stance to get them elected?

The argument isn't that you "have to think this way because the government said so" it's that by airing viewpoints at work you're liking going to cause problems. As much as you might care a gay coworker likely has more reason to care, and they would view it as stomping on their rights.

> Please note that for most people they use "Reproducible" to refer to what I call "Determinism"

Which I would argue makes fall more sense.

actually I think a better definition would be that determinism is bit-for-bit identical under controlled inputs. A reproducible build is the act of controlling those inputs to feed into a deterministic build.

I'm curious why you chose the definition you did, as proving a build is reproducible sounds impossible hard.

Of course I've always looked at it from the standpoint of "reproduce this binary from source, thus proving your source code (modulo compiler trust of course)".

This has nothing to do with the argument being made.

I'm working on a memo about how conservatives are just less interested in tech. /s

Is this a tech problem or a Californian city problem?
