1. There are two and only two genders.
2. Okay, then there are two and only two biological genders.
3. Gender is determined solely by biology.
4. Okay, it’s mostly determined by biology, right?
5. Please tell me it’s determined by DNA.
6. Gender can be reliably determined through visual means. After all, no man would ever wear a burka.
7. Once gender is set, it never changes.
8. Even if the gender can change, it will only change from the one value to the other value.
9. Only one gender can be “active” at the same time.
10. We’re tracking gender now, so we’ve always tracked it.

Here's what happened to an acquaintance of mine a few years ago. She told me this over the phone after I mentioned the joose. I started taping the conversation with her consent after a lengthy preamble - she asked to clean up any direct references to people or locations, cause she promised the people involved never to make this public; one of the guys is still working.

The friend's from Ukraine, but after listening to the story again I'm not 100% sure this took place there, as she was moving about a bit at that time. She was trying to get press work as a free-lance journalist and had made a deal with an ambulance crew to accompany them at night in the roughest districts in return for a few hundred US dollars and a case of Jack Daniel's.

[Recipient], this might be the most difficult conversation we will ever have. I want to share something hard that’s going on in my life, because I love and trust you, and I know you love me.

So I want to make a deal with you: I won’t try to police how you feel, and if you are angry or upset, that’s fine. But I need you to not explode or retreat. I ask that, as a once-in-a-lifetime favor to me, you listen, all the way through, and reserve judgment and questions until the end. Ultimately, I think this can be positive for both of us. Is that something we can do together?

 It means a lot to me that you are willing to listen. There’s a lot to get through, so I wrote most of it down. I’m going to read it because it will make things easier, and I will give you this copy when we are done.

To get to the point, [time of realization], I came to the shocking, and completely unwelcome realization that I’m transgender.

Yes, this means that, despite being assigned [birth gender] based on my genitalia at birth, as a

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?

(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.

In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.

Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th

A script that go through your followings and unfollows dead accounts.
It notices empty accounts, accounts that were deleted locally and remotely,
and also cleans up dead instances if allowed to.
It has a cache so you can run it once without --unfollow to preview its
actions, and a second time that will skip all verified active profiles.
With colors and a nice progress bar with item count, %, and ETA.
