You told me so. Prejudice is not Racism →. August 3, 2014 · 2:22 pm. That horrible moment when you learn the origin of something. But that was before. It maybe poisoned forever now. If I catch myself saying it I will think of this ridiculous book and wonder if using it makes other people think of this dickwad philosophy. And then I will be sad and sorry for the associations unleashed thereby. I don’t suppose there’s an alternative word? You told me so. Prejudice is not Racism →. 2 responses to “. That be...

The Problem of Privilege. I can’t relate to this at all… →. June 2, 2014 · 4:40 pm. Sooooo, I’m apparently just obsessed with putting stuff up on here. It could get a little out of hand, what with it being not really anonymous and mixing politics and crafts and tech. But I am thoroughly enjoying the random low-keyness of the posting what we talk about. Are we okay with it all? Do we need a disclaimer? Along the lines of “Don’t blame Leah for anything Anna says and vice versa”. The Problem of Privilege.

Monthly Archives: October 2014. October 29, 2014 · 1:43 pm. Mixins, Decorators, and Monkeypatching — oh my! I’m back contemplating metaprogramming in python and decided to write some thoughts down so they’re easier to examine. The dilemma in this case: there is a class that does mostly what you want, but not all. 160; def myFunc1(self, ):. 160; . 160; def myFunc2(self, ):. 160; . 160; . Class myClass(CLASS, MIXIN):. Decorators instead of Mixins. 160; ...

Author Archives: anna.koop. February 20, 2016 · 10:03 am. So as of today I am fed up with how Google Drive handles multiple accounts hooray for having a ualberta account with unlimited storage! But wait, if I want to switch between my personal google account and ualberta account, Drive has to re-download all the fricking files? Relatedly, I’m sick of my calendars being intermingled, my YouTube search history for personal stuff coming up in class when I’m showing AI videos, etc, etc. 1,317 more words.

On Allies and Dogpiles. Objects are just namespaces! Which are just dictionaries! October 12, 2014 · 1:44 pm. Safe Spaces, Stupid Questions, and Confronting Privilege. I think the final outcome of the GHC male allies panel was positive. I think with a slight tweak it could be a positive recurring feature, maybe expandable to a general Privileged-Allies event. In my perfect universe it would be a three-part sequence, probably spread over three days because time to reflect is important. I think any ally wh...

Monthly Archives: July 2015. July 24, 2015 · 10:44 pm. In 2011, I wrote about my maternal Grandpa Croucher’s autobody shop in downtown Edmonton. I was quite small when he sold the family business that. Father had built when he settled in Edmonton post-WWI. That business was. Which still stands next to the Hope Mission in Edmonton today. 1,317 more words. Birthday Sweaters and How to Avoid Death by Sweater Asphyxiation. Scholarly analysis of #GG.

Objects are just namespaces! Which are just dictionaries! Mixins, Decorators, and Monkeypatching — oh my! October 28, 2014 · 3:58 pm. The Problem of Privilege. This might explain how the thin-skinned, hair-trigger, majority class can throw the biggest tantrums over how “everyone is too easily offended” and political correctness is ruining All The Things without having their heads explode. Objects are just namespaces! Which are just dictionaries! Mixins, Decorators, and Monkeypatching — oh my! You are com...

Newer posts →. October 21, 2014 · 2:48 pm. Objects are just namespaces! Which are just dictionaries! I think something just sank in for me. Everything in python is an object, but also an object is just a slightly-supercharged namespace. All those indented defs are just saying “these things exist in the context of this class”. And a namespace is really a supercharged dictionary, with the variable names as keys pointing to various objects in memory. I was reading about mixins. Which makes me wonder what th...

Monthly Archives: November 2014. November 3, 2014 · 8:20 pm. Scholarly analysis of #GG. This is a really interesting explication of the concept of base assumptions with #GamerGate as a worked example. Some of my favourite high-level bits:. 8220;base assumptions…the things that we don’t even consciously believe because they’re frequently things we’re completely oblivious to.”. Apparently I should watch ‘A Pervert’s Guide to Ideology’. At 6:43 starts on GamerGate itself. Good food for thought. Middot; Leah...
