These days no one is ready to talk about cultural and behavioral differences that lead to different outcomes, but it is the most obvious cause of disparities in education and career success between ethnicities. The reason policies like affirmative action or gutting gifted education are discrimination to me, is that students from certain backgrounds are being punished for their cultural and behavioral differences. For example, most Asian cultures emphasize a focus on hard work, academic success, respect for your elders, etc. Anyone who has spent any time in the American schooling system knows that Asian students have remarkably different behavioral patterns from white or black American students. They make choices that lead to their success, and now they’re being discriminated against by those claiming there are “too many” successful Asians. A similar argument can be constructed for other groups.

Heather Mac Donald wrote about behavioral contributors to disparities and other issues stemming from a societal overfocus on diversity in The Diversity Delusion (https://us.macmillan.com/thediversitydelusion/heathermacdona...). You can read a brief contribution from her regarding behavioral drivers of socioeconomic disparities (like crime rates) at https://www.newsweek.com/if-systemic-racism-real-why-does-bi....
Can I ask what value Cinder has in a world of Unreal/Unity? I'm guessing you don't use Houdini either since it's not realtime.

But take Unreal for example: you have this absolutely massive world of presets/plugins/etc made by the community. You have Niagara particle systems. You have incredible post-processing / color correction / cinematic grading / etc. You have Blueprints, the ability to write code, etc. You have the entirety of Quixel's megascans, etc. It's almost completely effortless to make unbelievably gorgeous/immersive things, whether it's near-photorealistic environments/landscapes, abstract audio visualizations, full on games, etc.

I'm genuinely trying to understand why anyone who works in interactive/realtime 2D or 3D visualization would ever use Cinder or Processing these days. Thoughts?
Yes, you are right. To be clear, the pricing on the website is for the workforce identity (Entry as a factor to a Single Sign-on solution).
If you are thinking about customer identity, we don't have pricing yet. Most likely, it will be volume-based. It would be great to brainstorm with you and come up with something that makes sense!
I still don't understand how would it be cheaper if you're paying rent with money that was already taxed - deductions would only make sure it's not taxed again. Maybe you could avoid paying VAT?

Another situation would be if your company is financing the apartment directly with pre-tax money that didn't make a round-trip as income, though that's quite a different situation than most rentals, and may be a big no-no (or may be acceptable in your jurisdiction - no idea).
Well I suppose they do not have to load all the kernels and drivers that Linux provides today.

I wonder how one could use micro kernels to further improve startup time and have a mini distributed OS/kernel for each component.
It’s not about how real the sports are, or even the level of competition. It’s about what abilities transfer. A world class marathon runner needs serious endurance like a world class biathlon athlete, but they don’t need very good vision.

Physical abilities can be improved within a range, but once the competition gets good enough you need a baseline genetic competence to be competitive. As in you don’t need to be 6’10” to play in the NBA but you can’t be 3’2”. Further, being extremely tall reduces the difficulty in competing in the NBA.

On example not mentioned, is professional F1/Indycar/NASCAR drivers benefit from being able to rapidly change visual focus in ways that video game players looking at flat screens don’t need to. On it’s own not a big deal, but that’s just one difference among many.
I don't know what the situation is like in Norway, but I 100% don't blame MDs in the US for trying to find their own treatments, because they're generally being left high and dry by the extreme rationing of the PPE. Doctors themselves have taken to personally reaching out to the communities near me so that they can find masks.

Obviously I don't want anyone with lupus / malaria / etc to be adversely affected, but I think the people being forced to work the front lines do deserve to be somehow prioritized just from a "how do we keep the system operating efficiently" standpoint, and it doesn't really seem like the people who could manage supplies to make sure both parties needs are balanced, e.g. hospital administrations and regional governments, are going to take much responsibility for that.
> It's true that this doesn't let you avoid trusting the provider, but you're not going to get that anyway - and this scheme is certainly no worse. (Arguably you're not going to get that on native apps either these days, thanks to closed-source app stores and automatic updates, and automatic updates are a very good thing.)

There is no guarantee, but security researchers often check the contents of apps like WhatsApp, Threema, etc. However, that doesn't help you if you specifically get a special version of the app that sends your content to the app writers. For websites, how hard this is depends on your infrastructure, but it is more or less trivial. For app stores like Google Play or apple app store, there is no such feature to push a special version to a subset of the population specified by name. You can only push it to entire classes of devices.

So suddenly Google, Apple, etc. have to be in on the attack which drastically reduces the number of people who can pull off supply chain attacks. Maybe you should be still worried about the US government, but while Saudi princes can bribe the Threema creator, they can't compel Apple to push a malicious update the Threema creator signed to select people only. So they'll have to hack the device via other means.
Jitsi is not P2P for group conversations - all streams are multiplexed by the server (the videobridge).

100% agreed about spotty connections, it does not handle them very well. As long as everyone has a decent connection and enough CPU, it handles groups of 10+ participants just fine. My company ended up switching to Google Meet for reliability reasons, but was a year ago so it might be better now.
Trophy is amazing, but it has it's limitations. It limits friendly infantry from getting close, and still get saturated and in need of recharge.
Do not forget that you represent a small minority of tech literate people.

There's plenty of people that don't know how to properly use a search engine, hell there's plenty who don't know what a search engine is.

Plus, search engines have a role in the consumer decision journey, but don't fulfill all the roles.

Just to add up, with SEM (paid ads + SEO) search results have a big chance of being biased nowadays, and you should always take that into consideration.
I had no idea outsourcing clients were expected to commit to not do any development work inhouse using sane tools. That makes doing it anyway, but in Excel, look far less painfully ignorant.

The computer is still deterministic, but somebody lower in the technology stack doesn't want to completely define its behavior.
Many of the parts were prefabricated.
I just want an official queue manager app from Netflix for Android.
Ok, but that's something which you can ignore. Is there anything lacking or annoying in the book buying process itself?
Nobody of those says that SICP isn't a really great book.

Wadler claims that the book and a 'better' language would be an improvement.

Felleisen et.al. claim that the book does not prepare the students for software engineers in industry, is very difficult and thus is not the best book for a typical introductory course.

Even though I understand both critiques, I see their point of view and find both views valid, SICP is still * out of five stars.

> I know I will always do web programming

That seems like a pretty unwise assumption to me. In a decade or two the web may have changed beyond all recognition.
Slavery wasn't abolished. It was just reinvented.
Is it my understanding that, in such high level physics, getting something proven wrong is never a detriment.
Well, may you give him some suggestions? Or better remockup his theme in a image so that he can see and learn?

Destructive criticism is never good.
The DOT website in NYC already has a street parking function which displays the rules in effect for any specified street / intersection. I don't know if this is legally admissible, though - I believe the rules can only be enforced if the signage is in place.
Are the files for this public, can I see your config?
Thanks! Really, that star shouldn't appear so quickly. It currently appears as soon as the new round comes into existence. You get about 40 seconds to get the star from the end of the last round, so I could certainly cheat and have the countdown circle start at around 38 seconds so it wouldn't seem unfair.
No you can't have exactly once delivery. However you can mitigate this if your datastore for your output from message processing is the same as your datastore for queue. With that and atomic mutations (de-queue and return result), it does allow practical solutions for almost all edge cases.
> I believe the biggest win is that existing content will not be accessible to a hacker even if they fully compromise the website, unless users re-open them. So, sure, plenty of content may get compromised if the site gets hacked, but some large percentage of old content will not be.

The attacker won't need to wait for the users to open a specific drawing - just browse to the website, from there they can grab the keys for all drawings they have assuming that not that many of them exist in the first place and the attacker has the list of key ids from the compromised backend.

It does call for a much more noisy and visible attack which is by itself a valuable mitigation.
Wow, I was totally not being hyperbolic and I really did think Microsoft only made spreadsheets.

Thanks for that.
Spoken Wikipedia corpus is especially impressive
Don't use tabs. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#tabs-or-spaces which says to prefer spaces.

You can start by converting all tabs into 8 spaces. This can be tricky should some strings have tabs. That's a bad idea in the first place. Use "\t".

Don't mix tabs and spaces to get the same indentation level. Python 3 prohibits it. With Python 2 use "-t" or "-tt", which respectively warns and raises an exception if both spaces and tabs are used in the same block.
Not that I'm aware of. This talk is in itself a summary of a 10+ hours course he gives to his studends.

Is the first time I have come across a presentation of this guy in english and this is why I wanted to share it here. But basically it is a re-hash of the limits to growth arguments, with more modern data.
Here is the podcast episode where Ben and Moisey Uretsky share how they built DigitalOcean. Worth a listen.

OT but: If you're interested in first contact stories, you might check out Peter Cawdron. For a quick writer of pop-sci-fi, he's pretty good. He's taken on first-contact from 20+ different starting points and has a bunch of books on Kindle Unlimited. To the lay-person, his fiction seems well researched and real-as-possible (given the requirements of the story). Sort of Peter Watt's "Blindsight" without the fireworks/flourishes

Not far fetched to imagine FB using info like this for blackmail.
I suspect painting it red white and blue would have been even better for political support.
> Edit: corrected division mistake, thanks to dxbydt

Well, one of the mistakes:

> If the side lengths have to be integers, then it's just (1 + 8 + 27 + 125)/4 = 40.25 inches

If I'm not mistaken, 4 is an integer, and so should not have cruelly snubbed when you sent out invitations to your summation of the cubes of the integers from 1 to 5. Sure, 4 is not a cool integer like the others in 1 to 5...he's got a reputation as a square, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings.
He does go on to admit this, more or less, in the article. So Fred Wilson remains right, and there's not much to see here, IMO.
Yes, I do this. However, the reason is not because I am unproductive or distracted. It's because I'm at work. If I have work to do at work, I do it. Then I have no work to do. I would work on my own personal projects, but then they would be works for hire. I have to work on them at home in order to own them. Even if I get them to agree to let me work from home, I have to work on the things outside of work hours to get them to be my own property.

I would be glad to quit and just work on my own personal projects. Will you pay my rent? Didn't think so.
I'm reminded of a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin:

"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

Maybe our new world version is:

"Your computer can keep your secrets as long as it's dead".

Or maybe better:

"Computers will keep secret anything you don't share with them."
I agree with you. It's a matter of taste and purpose, and this is dynamic, so you'll probably want to see them all in time.

My motivation has always been focused on deliberate practice (i.e., a fancy way to approach personal and professional development). I have been through the app-based MVP and the personal mind-dump. I recently started a new blog, which intends to be a mixture of the two: personal interest and passion for Artificial Intelligence, and an approach to consulting:

Programmers tend to say: ABC, which stands for Always Be Coding. I apply it to anything I like and that I intend to get better at.
Pretty interesting resource. I've also found a good resorce to check out my credit scores (I've read reviews on https://scoresense.pissedconsumer.com/review.html ). My credit scores came up as 940.

I'm assuming this is a good score, I'm very interested in getting a mortgage in the very near future so it's important I know how well I am scoring.
"storytelling ideas from theme parks"

Videogames call this "environmental storytelling" and it's a really solid way of constructing a narrative in such spaces. The reason why the current or prior generations of "metaverse" technologies don't do this is because they're not trying to be a narrative work. They're trying to be "HTTP for 3D worlds" - in other words, hoping someone else will come in and build the narrative on top of their platform so they can charge the creators a fee to publish their own work.
Technically, you don't have to stop if the primary road is clear. In practice, you will end up stopping, so it's exactly like a US 2-way stop without the fear of getting ticketed should you roll through it during off-hours.
Specifically, only on "independent local" news sites. I have to wonder if they, or the entity who operates the website on their behalf, all belong to the same multinational. Like the "independent local" TV stations that are all owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.

I can't think of any other reason that so many local news sites would be affected, and so few other sites.
Every case is different. I did not speak a universal truth. But in my experience and the experience of colleagues, what I wrote is what happens.
OK, but is not late better than never? All the new users of WP, now, will have the Gutenberg experience from the start, for free, possible minimizing the need to look for third parties plugins.

Yes, the current users of third party plugin editors are tied to keep using it, or make the huge effort to ditch em (it breaks many things). But this is the risk of using any plugins for content creation is in it? Maybe a good plugin idea for the Gutenberg team is a migration tool from [plugin editor] to Gutenberg.

I think that is not too late, the popularity of third parties builders make the statement that this feature was needed, and now is moving to core, and in my opinion with superior UX/Dev teams of all the freemium third parties plugins.

The future is shining.
Unfortunately they're only cheaper for 12-24 months because those listed rents are net effective rents, not actual rents. So you're typically paying a very high monthly but getting several months free.
What I can't believe is this company won't ship anything to Alaska or Hawaii. I don't understand how companies think that is acceptable.
But earplugs amplify internal sounds, like touching my head and breathing...
Editing these documents for house graphic style and grammar was the very-well-paid temp job that covered my costs of being at college in London.

Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BZW all had a 'graphics department' in the mid-90s and I worked briefly for all of them. Good job for them, too - you wouldn't believe the crap that some merchant bankers would want to give to clients.

(In fact, several of the banks had specific instructions to us about not permitting egregiously-misleading graphs get into the wild. X^2 graph axes, truncated axes designed to make a 1% price change look more significant... I remember seeing a couple of all of them every week.)

US securities laws in particular made getting in and out of the room a very complex affair. Depending on which banker's doc you were working on right now, you had to discuss things outside of the door at one end or the other of our office, but they weren't permitted to enter the room and their door passes wouldn't open our door. The little corner of Lehman's in London we were in was over ten minutes of card-waving away from the front entrance.

Having played with their new "Kin" line, I can confidently discount them (unless they make some serious changes in strategy). I was met with a device that made little sense, had no clear organization of tools and apps, and had a HORRID UI. I'm an iOS fan, but I would pick an Android phone over M$'s offering any day.
I don't disagree with your point in theory but I have to wonder about Microsoft. I mean, they did pour a bunch of money and time into Zune and it didn't work. Last Christmas NPD reported Zune taking 10% of the units sold and that's pathetic. That's at the "My grandparents bought me a Zune because they don't know what an iPod is" level of sales.

The most telling point regarding their phone platform is this: I'm a C# developer. I'm in love with Silverlight as a technology. Yet I have no interest in the new Windows phone platform. That says something big about their chances IMHO
so, what is the proper english term for "exploiting former one off success to promote yourself/get rich with X that shows how to X" such as book on writing books, screencast on making screencast, (time management,issue tracking) app for helping you build own app.

I'd love to know it so I can use it to more easily mentally flag urls like this when I see them "oh it's another post-one-off-metapromotionalism website".
Finally. Some sense has been added to radiation attacks. Getting inside a building or making sure there is any sort of barrier between you and ionizing radiation is the best thing you can do.
The one question that bothers me is confidentiality.... code is IP of the company writing it. What prevents someone on a copyright fishing expedition from getting some kind of court order for the hosting provider to turn over all of my company's code without even telling me? It's the same argument for all hosted services.

For open development, it's awesome... closed - I wish so many saas providers offered self-hosted solutions with a subscription so I could at least control the hardware & it's location.
KeePassX is a very popular cross-platform password manager. I think the Dropbox solution (from micheljansen) is pretty common.
Ask and ye shall receive. I think this is one of the hardest lessons I've had to learn in life both professionally and non-professionally. The Rejection Therapy goes along with this very well. Often times asking both gets you what you want and clarifies in your mind what it is you really want. Everytime you do it the benefits are always greater than your ask.

In this instance, I'm sure redrory will find new people to chat with, will get a push towards winning a ticket to Launch Conference, and will find the support of the community much greater than he expected.
Knowing the name of a board member is probably all the knowing that's required. Then a phone call to do the work. The board member is in a position to acknowledge that there's little to be gained by trying to enforce the sales contract in such circumstances...and that the sales representative can easily waste enough time and energy on trying to enforce it to more than offset any possible gain.
I don't think zillionaires are made by keeping everyone else poor. I think it's much more likely the opposite, zillionaires arise from creating the most wealth for the most people. My issue is that "wealth" tends to be conflated with "money".
Whoa. Way to get creative with a shipping container. Atlas looks cool, too.
You could try http://www.kima15.com although ceding 15% might be too steep for the amount they invest given you have a working, sellable prototype (I have heard Kima say they are sometimes willing to negotiate on this figure though).

You could also try posting to angel list (not easy to get noticed there though unless you already have a bit of a network).
Bare metal just means not virtualized. There's no hypervisor between the OS and the hardware (the hardware is made of metal, therefore "bare metal"). If you buy a computer with Windows on it, Windows is running on bare metal. Hypervisors run on bare metal.

So yeah, as you suggested, if you install Linux on your computer, the Linux Kernel is running on the bare metal.
Yup, There is more than one way to handle it but it's not developer-friendly.
Let's be honest.

The moment he discovered an attacker he should have been on the phone with the client explaining the situation and asking how to proceed. If the client wanted him to shut down and clean up the hack, he should be charging for that. If not, he should have done nothing.

Transparency resolves most problems.
I think the point is that people are trying to avoid a fork situation like we had with EGCS and GCC from 1997 to 1999.
"Your new TV is bigger and slimmer, so why should you care the planetary economic system rewards a tiny minority with wealth that is almost incomprehensible?"

Okay, but the trouble is, it's a feeble argument for persuading people not to pay attention to the fact that 1% of the planet has half the wealth. People actually care about the fairness of how wealth is distributed. Did these fabulously wealthy people start working even harder, to justify the even more unequal wealth breakdown?

The 1% used to own <50% of all wealth. Soon they'll own 51%. What changed? I'd argue they've done nothing to deserve this increased wealth, and it's entirely justifiable that humanity is allowed to look at how to redistribute that wealth. Of course we have to be careful not to kill the golden goose - maybe they'll all emigrate to Mars where taxes are lower...
This could happen in the US as well, if I'm not mistaken. There is normally a requirement that you have to be in "good standing" during the first one or two years of your PhD when you're mostly doing course work.
Straining for an analogy? Am I the only one who hated this quote from the article?:

"The idea basically is that your immune system
is occupied elsewhere. It would be like getting
the swirling ball of death on your Mac where your
operating system is doing something else rather
than opening the file."
