The ADA has defined protected classes, and if you are not OK with a protected class you need to deal with it. How would you feel if I rephrased your comment:

Okay, I completely get this, but question -- what about business owners and drivers who are traumatized by black people? If I were a driver, I'd be much more likely to crash the car if there was a black person in the car of any kind. I've had traumatic experiences with black people and being near one sends me into panic.
I very rarely see Airbnb that's any better than what I can find on booking and it's more expensive. Not a huge sample size, but that was true in London, Paris, Berlin and few Polish cities.
Exciting!

Clojure is one of the few modern languages (someone please point out the others!) that you can use on top of any major platform:

* web, via Clojurescript

* mobile, via React Native

* JVM server-side, via reg' ol' Clojure

* .NET, via Clojure CLR

* microcontrollers, via https://ferret-lang.org/ (seems dead, tho)

and now Dart. Of course, being a hosted language has its own pros/cons, but it's truly impressive that a language has such comprehensive breadth.

You can literally share code between your Arduino project, REST backend, and HTML/CSS/JS frotend.
That’s, in my opinion, a good thing! It helps verify the engineer can competently code—in a real codebase, which is much more valuable (again IMO) than coding in a vacuum. Eliminating that question, which is often cited as the motivation for these sorts of challenges, is a cue that the candidate is qualified for further interviewing. That being out of the way leaves room to evaluate a lot of other things by:

- enquiring about the candidate’s thoughts about the problem and their approach to solving it, on which (again IMO) this candidate would really shine; you’d likely get a much less thoughtful or thorough account from someone less experienced or talented

- ask about concerns which would be typical in real world work but often get glossed over in interviews, like how they’d approach testing and SCM and review, or even just things they’d do differently outside the interview process

- get more conversational and learn more about the actual value the candidate would potentially bring to your team/org, starting this with some greater confidence, trust and familiarity on both ends

- dive deeper on technical validation if anything in the above feels questionable

Those sorts of conversations convey much more meaningful information than any coding challenge that isn’t very focused on very specific prerequisites for the domain/role.
I didn’t claim that. I claimed it must be nightmarish, by which I obviously meant extremely emotionally taxing. Are you saying most pediatric oncologists aren’t emotionally taxed? The only ones who aren’t must, by definition, be sociopaths. Please try to not be offended by a tautology.
Yep. We considered building an M.2 2230 NVMe USB-C adapter, but it was more efficient to just use a USB-C NAND Flash controller that interfaces the same types of flash that NVMe SSDs do. One less layer of translation.
Bitcoin is an unbelievably stable platform with an uptime of 99.98% with only 13 years to draw from. It's been sticking with it's algorithmically defined inflation rate with perfect predictability, unlike any other currency or scarce asset like gold, which depends heavily on incentives to mine and accessible reserves.

Don't mistake the volatility of the USD price of bitcoin (which is based on the erratic, unpredictability of human emotions and massively distrusted market decision making) with the complete and utter lack of volatility of the actual underlying system.

Childhood savings is about encouraging discipline and responsible thinking about money.

My kid saved about $200 in savings in elementary school. He parlayed that into a diversified stock portfolio, now around $4k several years later.

It's not just that. Some languages are richer than others in various dimensions. For example: English has a single "diminutive"-type suffix but Russian has a vast range to express various related suffixes that allow you to color nouns in a way I can't really convey in English.

This makes Russian more naturally suitable to (for example) poetry, but english for Technical writing
Beside the danger of adding function to an infectious virus, the biggest danger is the complete politicization of the virus. The WHO has changed their tune back and forth, often vehemently with little to back up its position. In that light the US should consider withdrawing completely from this body.
A significant chunk of iOS's marketshare is people buying iPhones because they are "cool" as opposed to any technical reasons. If Facebook makes their phone seem more "cool" through marketing, that chunk of customers will happily switch.
"normalizes that condemnation" is another way of saying "If you aren't for us, you are against us.", which many disagree with.

reddit is basically an IRC server for the web, with voting.

The cleverst thing they have done is also entirely simple.
By making all thread replies to your posts appear in your inbox as personal messages, and highlighting the orange icon, it successfully encourages users to make reasonably deep replies to those that bite.

This seems to generate interesting thread content very quickly.

My only gripe is the lack of resolution in the voting system (ala /.). Meme overload is a real problem when browsing reddit.
That's why educational institutes were originally religious. The further away they get from religion the less people think the abstract knowledge is actually practical.

You do realize that TSA workers are human beings too, right? It's not a video game. Messing with them is not going to do anything constructive, and will most likely make (1) their day worse, and (2) probably your day worse too, if your actions lead to more scrutiny and further "procedure".
the reason there isn't a guaranteed compressor is that a legitimate compressor has to be injective, and there isn't an injective function from, say, {0,1}^[n] to {0,1}^[m] where m<n. in contrast, there are many guaranteed "decompressors," if by a decompressor you mean an invertible function that expands the length of a string.

you seem to contradict yourself a bit, first you agree that an algorithm could take "lolz that suckz" and produce "one of" the original thoughts that got transcribed as it, then you say there "simply isn't any sort of mapping" from "fuzzy thoughts" (sentences produced by transcribing thoughts?) to coherent ones. but obviously there are many such mappings, it's just that they aren't guaranteed to produce the same thought the author of the "fuzzy thought" had when he wrote down what he was thinking.

now, what is the actual cause for fear? is it the idea that we might someday be able to communicate without taking too much effort (what you say is impossible), or that people with nothing going on between their ears will be able to produce computer-mediated output that is indistinguishable from coherent thought? i think the latter is more cause for concern/more interesting but i dont think anything youve said really addresses it. tbh i also dont think your brief discussion of information theory does much in the way of arguing against the former either. (your argument could be adapted to show that morse code is impossible, because messages are shorter in morse code than they would be in a straightforward ternary ascii encoding. but actually, it's just that the messages we typically wish to send are generally shorter.)
A 75 page paper usually takes longer than 48 hours for normal students to write. If the version history for the paper is submitted, but all the commits are within a very short time frame, then either the student stayed up all night to write it, or they paid someone else to stay up all night to write it.
And if you ask them about what the wrote on on something they took all night to write, they should know it fairly well. But if they paid someone else to do it, they wouldn't know anything that's on the paper.

Sabotage is such a wonderful idea and I really hope it succeeds. It's not nearly usable right now, though.
Much of the bootstrapping of Morpheus appears to have come from Sabotage Linux, especially the use of musl-cross[0]. I thought I remember seeing numerous references to Sabotage in the docs but now I can't seem to find them.

Anyhow, definitely another interesting project in a similar vein. The biggest difference I see, from a base perspective, is the choice of coreutils replacement: Sabotage uses Busybox while Morpheus uses a mixture of sbase[1], ubase[2], hbase[3] (rewrite of heriloom utils[4]), and 9base[5] (some utils from plan9port[6].)

If I'm not mistake all this is is a real time index isn't it? You can create indexes like this with Elastic Search or Postgresql 9.3
My experience on the page:

I click on "create a realtime search" and it tells me I have to create an account. I think "hmm.. how about telling me what 'create a realtime search' means before bugging me to create an account?". So I click on "about". That tells me nothing about the service, but gives me a list of tools YOU use. What do I care what YOU use? All I care about is myself :) Ok, so I make that damn account. WTF does "Sign Up (Github)" mean? Well, whatever. I give you my name and email and chose a password and stuff. That gets me to a page with even more questions. After filling them out I realize that this is some kind of "update your profile" thing that is completely uneccessary. Ok. So now that I am logged in, I go to "create a realtime search" again. What do I get? "You need an Algolia account". Are you kidding me? How many more accounts do I have to make until you tell me WTF "create a realtime search" means? Ok, so I click "Don't have an Algolia account? Signup with free hacker plan". What do I get? "Error 404 The page you requested was not found.". I give up.

Not meant as a critique. Just as an information. I understand that the site is beta. And I'm a fan of "release early". I do web projects too and more often then not they have usability issues. And I love direct user feedback to make me aware of them.

Yes exactly, just keep the state in css classes and html forms and tool yourself for reuse.
That's real sad and all, but the root cause of the problem is far too much demand for a limited number of seats at the most prestigious schools. Until that underlying issue is solved (maybe through something akin to America's land-grant colleges?), the problem won't go away. Changing the admissions process will simply cause cram schools to be replaced by essay tutors, interview schools, students taking on an insane number of extracurricular activities, etc.

Germany may be a more diverse place than you're aware. The Reignheitsgebot originated in Bavaria and was a condition of the German unification in 1871. However, many areas of Germany have long traditions of non-Reignheitsgebot beers, for example, wheat beers and spiced beers in northern Germany.

Your wording is a bit unclear. Are you saying B would challenge you more, or that personal growth would be challenging to attain at B? Are you saying that B's base = 150k and that your stock goes on top, or that base + your estimate of how many stock options you'd get = 150k?

Another important factor that's often not considered is how long your commute is to A and B.

That's one way. You could use "New York time" too. So if I have a meeting with someone in Ohio sf and nyc we can use a micro time zone related to a major city. If you were going to create a massive number of time zones, it would make sense to peg them to major cities. So nyc could have a time zone, that's slightly off from Boston and same with sf and la

Mono's port was done on their own initiative. Zend Server is, however, an IBM supported product. The same goes for e.g. node.js where IBM ported all of V8 to ppc64. (There is a community version of PHP released in 2019, but the commercial version precedes this)

This same work has proved useful in running chromium on ppc64le/Linux, even if I think running node.js on IBM i sounds ridiculous ;)
Large enough quantitative differences create qualitative differences. If your hypothetical KKK member gets banned from a supermarket or two for preaching there, they can still go elsewhere. If your hypothetical KKK member tries preaching at one supermarket, and gets put on an industry-wide blacklist shared by all supermarkets out of an abundance of caution, then that collusion constitutes de facto government despite being administered by "private" companies.

Also keep in mind that in this hypothetical scenario, no grocery store has to ban this KKK member outright to punish the problematic behavior. They can allow them to still shop there while notifying them that any future preaching will be grounds for trespass charges. This is the right solution when the market isn't big enough for meaningful choice between supermarkets.
True, neither the absence of an identified vuln in published source code, nor the absence of published source code can guarantee that you don't have vulns. And sure, a bad-faith operator can always back-door the server and run different code.

But, a good-faith operator can find and fix bugs faster if they operate in the open and in collaboration with the community. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" etc.
As long as trading firms use C++ and some research places, it won't go away.

The idea that the Pilgrims came to America for religious freedom is mostly a fairy tale. But either way, there is a world a difference between shunning someone for exercising religious freedom and shunning someone who very likely committed sexual assault.

EDIT: This is being downvoted. I'm not sure if it is the Pilgrims comments, so I will point people to the Wikipedia article and the second sentence which notes that the Pilgrims "fled religious persecution in England for the tolerance of 17th-century Holland in the Netherlands." They spent over a decade in Holland. They didn't come to America due to persecution because they already had religious freedom in Holland.[1]

With programming, the average programmer is a paid professional. With weightlifting, even specialized to bodybuilding, the average participant is lifting for recreational reasons. I imagine the fraction of people who've competed at the amateur level in bodybuilding is a minority of the total people discussing the subject. So it depends on whether the author is interested in gauging opinion among the minority of competitive bodybuilders or among people just a little more dedicated to lifting weights than usual. The article reads as if the author wants to somehow survey opinions among the "bros."

We have and I have seen other parents use old phones or old remote controls for this.

For young toddlers, say 1-2, this works for a day or two up to maybe a week. Then they learn to distinguish between the ones you go for and the ones you don't.

They want to do what you do, they will go for your phone, pen, laptop, glass etc precisely because it is yours.

Later, say 2.5-3 and up, when they are capable of self sustained imaginary play having a prop is nice. But by then, anything will do because the play is in the imagination.

SV is overwhelmingly liberal in a general sense (like almost all urban, educated regions), and lacks a lot of gun rights advocates and church goers or standard conservatives, which is what Noah appears to be looking for in the piece. When people talk about fascism in tech they don't talk about a 'bum with a swastika on the arm', but what Jeffrey Herf coined 'Reactionary Modernism'[1]. An extreme belief that technology will replace liberal or democratic values altogether. And there is a substantial, and fairly hidden, adherence to this in tech. And because those people don't storm the capital and probably vote Biden they don't show up in so many surveys.

And this is very SV specific. You won't find this in the tech scene of Berlin, Zürich or New York. It's closely tied to the 'Californian Ideology', a sort of new form of futurism that is in many ways similar to its historical predecessor.

The Google COVID-19 statistics for Israel show that cases and deaths are declining, but not at a faster rate than elsewhere in the world. Reported deaths lag behind sometimes for weeks and new deaths were caused by infections weeks ago, so vaccination may not have much effect on deaths, yet. But the number of positive tests should have gone down considerably with 50% of the population vaccinated. Are all these aymptomatic cases or do the is this due to part of the population not keeping any rules? Does anybody have information why the numbers are sill that high?
> laying in bed with your eyes mostly closed for 6-8 hours at night while consciously knowing you're not sleeping

I remain highly skeptical that this is actually true, it would have to be measured. I don't doubt that it feels so and that you are honest, but I wouldn't even trust myself to accurately describe what really happens over several hours with eyes closed. I assume some sleep can go unnoticed.

There are also people who honestly insist they don't ever snack and eat healthy and magically get fat. Anecdotal self reports are very unreliable, similar to eye witness testimony. But people are really upset to hear this.
> ERCOT is the only energy market not to have a capacity market.

Plenty of energy-only markets around, at least internationally.

ERCOT also has an ORDC. Surely they can tweak that if they want to have better insurance against black swan type events without going to a capacity market, with attendant problems.
I have the exact opposite impression. A few months ago I was directing a stage play, planning to shoot it with a high-end camera and stream it to YouTube via OBS. But I ran into two problems. First, I couldn't get a live feed from my camera. Second, the internet bandwidth at the theatre wasn't sufficient to support a hi-def stream.

I ended up solving both problems with my iPhone, shooting the show with FiLMiC Pro, using OBS Camera to send the live feed to a laptop running OBS and finally using my phone as a hotspot for the laptop to stream the show to YouTube. In a pinch, I could have eliminated the laptop from the setup entirely. The iPhone is a goddamn pocket miracle.

Yes, it's restricted as a development platform, but it has put incredible content creation tools into the hands of millions of people. And, yes, there are more consumers than producers (and always will be), but there are so very many producers out there now. Look at TikTok and Instagram (and before Instagram, Flickr).

I think he means "formalise a rule of thumb", and in my mind "prescriptionise" just sounds better for that is case than "prescribe". The "ise/ize" suffix is usually used for a transformation of the subject, which is appropriate in this case, even if its a made up word.
