> How can you state so firmly (in opposition to many here) that "you're practically guaranteeing permanent under-correction"

Because "no more than" usually means "less than" in a vast range of contexts, with computer programs being a rare exception. This is particularly evident in matters of justice. "Innocent until proven guilty" and "beyond reasonable doubt" and all of the restrictions on evidence practically guarantee that some guilty will go free. Why do we allow that? Because we know that perfect precision is impossible. We can not simultaneously avoid all false positives and all false negatives. As a society we have made a conscious choice on which side to err, and we preclude methods that tend to take us over that line.

The situation as regards equality is the converse. Not only should it be possible for the ragged edge of real-life outcomes to cross our ideal line sometimes, but it must be allowed to happen. If we insist that no measure we take can cross that line, then we limit ourselves to measures that fall short. We can't solve inequality by continuing to give one group unique protection.

> is it not of some moral repugnancy to require them to re-engage with a (by definition) racist or sexist system

In Philosophy 101, a very long time ago, I was introduced to the concept of a dilemma - a situation in which there are seemingly compelling arguments for two mutually incompatible positions. Yes, it's wrong at an individual level to make people re-engage with such a system. It's also wrong at a social level to let them exempt themselves. There is no answer that satisfies both sets of constraints. Real life is messier than an Ayn Rand novel. As you say, there are tradeoffs all around. Forcing people to confront the uncomfortable truth of their own privilege seems like a small price to pay in return for greater progress toward tangible equality.
Lost me at "Astonishing". Quality reporting doesn't feed you how to feel. Junk like that only shows up when they don't have facts to bank on and instead have to gin up emotions some other way.
Dmitry, I think this feasible. In terms of real value, I think it will create a positive aspect in the financial structure of strip clubs and exotic dancers operate their business in a way that is relevant to today's use of technology i.e. automation and trust. And a fun idea for ALL OF US to work on
I think it's good. We don't need more people on the planet. We need to build sustainable populations and economic models. Growth! Growth! Growth! isn't needed right now. It probably won't be needed unless/until we move people to live on Mars.
> And define widespread?

Well, was this an isolated incident or not?

Better yet, let's use your prior definition:

> If someone refuses me, the white straight male, the chance to buy something, I go somewhere else. That's not the case for some minorities however. If everyone won't provide wedding services for you, or everyone won't let you attend a class, or everyone won't sell you food, you can't live your life. Commonly discriminated minorities have to be protected because they have a right to do what they want as well. Just as you are free to do what you want, but that doesn't include murdering people. You are free to refuse service, but not based on things that mean that person can't get service anywhere.
Not OP, but my sister and brother-in-law (both born in Canada) have constant issues re-entering the US, despite both having up to date visas and never having changed jobs.

Mostly because of dumb-ass border agents. They've never been denied entry, but it's always a 5 hour long ordeal.

When the original cost of the good is so expensive as to significantly prohibit replacement of broken/defective parts, is the good really all that... good?
No, it is irrelevant. The fact that the incident got her fired is a failing with GitHub's management and dearth of communication. Playing the victim card and shitting on the data scientist is misguided.
Is it me or we are reading more and more about abuses ? So I'd say this or that company is not specifically problematic, but it's just women tend to be more vocal about the "difficulties" they encounter on the work place (I don't know how to express the fact that I think they are harassed but at the same time, being European, I'm not sure that what I have in mind is the same for those who read this; in my experience the harassment is subtle, it's more like "a subtle dose of socially accepted misogyny" (which I personally find unacceptable (I'm a man :) )

For some reason I just re-watched the first two transformers movies. (I don't know. They were still bad, but I like robots.)

The funny thing is that he is not only pro-military, he's anti-government. It's not just that the military has to be seen in a good light, other government people have to also be seen as bad.
>We had no issue with Nokia or Toyota.

Neither Nokia not Toyota were relevant on the pipes and on the culture/interest/spying/etc level. It was just buying foreign consumer products. (And neither is Anime an example of that).

None of those things are like using a foreign Google, Facebook, etc.

And even for those (which are entirely time), there were huge worries about the Japanese "buying everything" (in the 80s), and people saying people should "buy American" etc.
I would say price ranges are more reliable.

Also since there's no dealers, Edmunds simply just copied MSRP, which also is incorrect TBH because it is not the price for basic model without upgrades.

That idea has existed since before Joe Rogan was born, and been explored in far more depth. Crediting it to him seems a bit odd, but perhaps it's telling.
I don't know if that's true or not, but if the penalties described in that article are accurate, I'd say the penalties for killing someone with a vehicle, either from recklessness or malice, are shockingly lenient.

Hi Peter, thanks for doing this. I have a green card and am running a company in the US. I spend most of my time in France, what are the required conditions for me to keep the green card? The criteria seem unclear...
Kinda makes you wonder what else is missing from this story, right?
I usually prefer text over video, and the point that audio-only content isn't accessible makes for a very compelling argument to always provide a text version. So, in addition to wider reach, it makes it easier to consume the content at a pace you're comfortable with, as well as return later and easily reference specific parts.

For the motion problem, Safari actually introduced a solution a few months ago: the prefers-reduced-motion media query [0]. Hopefully other browsers will follow along and add support. Relevant issues per browser: Firefox [1], Chrome [2], Edge [3]. It doesn't look like any vendor has signaled interest, though.

I don't understand the wall of text point. Sometimes a topic requires a lot of nuanced points and clarifications, which might require long sentences and paragraph. I'm all for making content as approachable as possible, but I don't know if you can reasonably apply it to everything? I think seeing a few examples would probably help me understand.

For the small font size problem, browsers provide a solution! In Safari you can specify a minimum font size in Preferences > Advanced > Accessibility > [x] Never use font sizes smaller than [number]. Firefox also support a minimum font size [4], although the option is a bit hidden.

Too lazy to comment on the remaining points, but this was a really insightful post. I think we need more content like this to help us understand these problems. I'd guess most cases of poor accessibility are due to a general lack of awareness on the part of the development team.

My experience has been that making web apps accessible can be very challenging. There's not much good documentation or examples available, so as soon as you try implementing something more complicated than a traditional website, things start to break down.

In the previous paragraph I was going to reference existing w3c docs to explain my point, so I looked up their latest docs only to find that they've made some huge improvements! Check out the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices draft [5]. It looks like now every single widget has simple docs and multiple examples. Even if I haven't implemented any widgets with this, just by skimming through, it looks much more promising than any of the previous docs I've seen.]

Very simple: you buy hardware and software from different vendors. Each device must have enough information available publicly so that other companies can write software for it.

You might be able to purchase software and hardware at the same time, but there should be a choice of software and the price of the software should be listed separately on the bill.

The prevalent software business model of lock-in has infected hardware. This has disastrous consequences for the environment. Just because some software is unsupported, expensive hardware is bricked.

The parliament recommendation has this to say about this problem: "software solutions which prevent repairs from being performed, other than by approved firms or bodies, should be discouraged".
> We have had a few cases at Tesla where someone in a less represented group was actually given a job or promoted over more qualified highly represented candidates

A few cases . . . unfortunately this is the world we live in, diversity over all else. Must be demoralizing to be that engineer passed over because they weren't in the right less represented group.
As does any regulation. That does not mean the regulation is bad. I wouldn't regulate this issue with specific rules, just put a cost on waste. Each company would need to deal with the product waste in an environmetally safe way. If they can essentially recycle the replaced products into new ones, then I have no problem with that. But if it ends up as waste, then there should be a price on that. I wonder how much would this motivate companies to make repairable products.

Perfect compliance with Sccessibility can be hard and complicated; but have another look at the original article. The things being asked for are not hard or complicated.

Making no effort just because a perfect effort would be hard comes across as a cop out. Would we accept this so easily if we were discussing testing?
Mining asteroids has a ton of issues even beyond the obvious cost and R&D problems. They are generally far from the sun so solar power is significantly less useful. You need to move a lot of bulk material which means heavy Delta V problems. Micro gravity means you can't have humans in the area for long without giant structures. Finally, economically resources are just not that scarce.

The delta V issues are more reasonable when you want stuff to end up in space. But, that's not an issue for a Mars colony. As to mining Mars's moon's they don't really have a lot of useful material that is not on Mars in the first place.

PS: Space X's slightly lower the cost to orbit actually makes Asteroid mining even less viable.
I wouldn't trust it on high-speed high-traffic roads, but it's good in high-speed & low-traffic (cruise control on long trips) and low-speed & high-traffic (traffic jams).
Well put -- I suppose these sorts of things are largely kept between manager and employee, so people don't end up hearing about them unless the employee decides to disclose.
That's great of you work at a startup that you don't expect to make it. Or your in one of those groups at a big corp that's really only doing busy work to satisfy manger egos and you know the project will be canned before it's ever used. If people are actually going to use your software then this applies.
I'd expect that part of the reason they use uranium instead of plutonium is exactly to make sure the reactor is safe in the event of a rocket failure.

Yeah, the Neo Conficius Ideology is dangerous to creativity and open society too.
Keeps things that are coupled closer together. This is beneficial for several reasons:

a) forces parity between your code structure and test structure.

b) restructuring takes potentially half the time.

c) easily see and navigate to tests for a file.

d) less named things in your project since you aren't duplicating your structure.

If your directories are getting too lengthy to look at with tests in them, you should restructure them.

Edit: formatting and additional reason.
People were rightfully concerned about the lack of reciprocal trade. While true American cars would not attract much of a market in Japan (due to a few issues like gas consumption, size, etc.) the market was not as open to US products as the US market was open to Japanese products, despite the inherent handicap.
I thought her positive reaction on being placed into such an obviously intentionally isolated team was odd. A team of people just so, without the undesirables, their own org structure with dedicated PMs, QCs, and backlog.

The way things fell apart when that cocoon was breached -- both from within and without -- was entirely predictable.

How was this supposed to work in the first place? What did they hope to accomplish with this design?

There must be better designs for these sorts of initiatives, right? What are Microsoft, Apple, or Google doing?

James and I have put a ton of work into this since we first showed you Ship six months ago. We've fixed many bugs, improved fit and finish, and even lowered the price.

I dunno. Even if truckers could go that fast on I-10 without legal problems, they'd have a hard time making any money given fuel costs alone.

This article seems relevant, https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types.... . Particularly the part on discriminated unions. I'm just now learning TypeScript, so I have yet to actually implement anything this way.
> Are XY-ers, who identify as female, welcome at DevelopHER?

If they're not, then DevelopHER is trans-exclusionary and regressive. People who "identify as" women... are women.
I agree about /actions, it is unnecessary. However, for these kinds of "action resources", POST is definitely the best-matching request method. It does not mean "create a resource" (although this is one case it is often used for), but "process this request in your custom resource-specific way". The HTTP RFC formulates it like this [1]:

> The POST method requests that the target resource process the representation enclosed in the request according to the resource's own specific semantics.

Given that what an action resource does is, by definition, resource-specific, POST fits perfectly.

That's how I feel about it, too. There is no war. Women are not oppressed, men are not oppressors. We're all just people with problems who need support and compassion.

Besides being morally wrong, a tribal approach is limiting. If you can't learn from, if you can't make friends and allies with people from all walks of life, if you must sit in your little castle with the few you count as your tribe -- are you not obviously much poorer for it? I think so.

Believing you are an outsider is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just stand up and expect to belong. Judit Polgár eschewed women's chess events because she knew she belonged with the top competitors. And through perseverance and high expectations, this became obvious to everyone. That is how you change the world. Boldly expect acceptance, and my experience has been -- you will receive it. [Source: 20 years on the internet, as a gamer and in tech.]

I think treating someone as disadvantaged, even if they're quadriplegic, does them no favors. It is a kindness to recognize situations in which they need help, but it is an unkindness to make invalid a part of their identity. Let the main story be strength and dignity and independence. And so with those of us whose problems are slighter.

But there is a troubling trend I want to oppose. People seem to have the impression that if a member of class A says the wrong thing around a member of class B, the latter has the right to become vindictively angry. That's . . . really destructive. I think the policy I'm advocating is the best, but if you do something else, I'll take it as you mean it. I think most people are trying to be nice, and understanding and kindness and good old fashioned gettin' along do a whole lot more good than fighting some battle for cosmic justice by being a jerk in the break room.
Why not just fix the warnings and be done with it? Seems like far less work to me.
If you are creating a separate directory for each "module" then it would just be one more file in each directory.

Component

- index.js

- Component.js

- component.scss

- Component.spec.js

This structure has worked really well for me, you have everything you need in a single directory so you don't have to jump around to another directory to find the test or styling or whatever.

Chrome headless is a bit on the edge. Selenium + Firefox/Chrome is pretty mature, and Selenium even publishes Docker images that remove a lot of setup complexity. Pick your favorite language, grab the requisite WebDriver gem/module/etc and point it at the container.

Additionally, for many use cases, the many browser automation SaaS's out there are a good solution.
'the point' that OP cares about is exhaustiveness. one can disagree of course; but without exhaustiveness what you really have is destructuring (this is not what OP cares about)- erlang is a fine example

I recently changed the display on my Kobo Touch and was appalled at what I found inside it.

The battery is glued to the case and the wires are soldered to the board. The display is also glued to the case (I had to break the original display into bits in order to take it out).

The whole thing was designed to be disposable. This just seems wrong. It's unfair to the customer and bad for the environment.

When I read about yet another EU regulation of this kind I always remember the cookie law :/
This is an interesting area, with lots of opinion on implementations. It gets messy, and quick.

So it's normally part of the ADA to make things accessible. But with building, one can retrofit an older building that wasn't accessible with a certain percentage, and still avoid ADA compliance. I had that discussion in an architecture class, how to strictly comply with the law, whilst still skirting around it. The ADA as far as I know also applies to online as well, but the percentage change of a building doesn't really have an analogue with online.

The justification was purely money - disabled people work lower wage jobs, and aren't worth the money spent in upgrading a facility. It's disgusting logic, but there you have it.

I also think of DRM. It prevents end users from fair use (and also carte blanch copying).. Yet it also prevents converting the audio track to text with something like Sphinx. And with the deaf/hard of hearing, many sites prevent downloading and transcribing automatically. Youtube is trying with automatic transcription, and it certainly is a start. It's still hard, given the amount of sounds that are non-spoken that CC incorporates (sound of drums far away) (eerie music with footsteps).

And as mjevans said, what about an individual who releases content and doesn't have the resources to do ADA compliance? Is the correct answer is to ban said content? That seems to go in a really wrong direction as well. But we saw this earlier with (I forget which university) whom deleted all their videos primarily because they were dumped free online, without closed captioning. Instead, we all lost.

And as a developer, how do I determine how to write something that's disability friendly? It seems that flat text HTML with pictures and little/no JS seem to be the way. With pictures, include a alt text with a general description. With a video, include a transcript. Make sure the website will work effectively with Lynx because screen scrapers will tab through when reading.... But can I be sure that the above is correct? One thing I'm sure of, is that I'm missing a great deal of stuff. Red/Green or Blue/Yellow colorblindness, reduced vision, font issues (dyslexic fonts), Captcha handicap issues, and plenty more. How can I guarantee that I'm not just complying with the law, but makes my site usable? As far as I can tell, make a good attempt and wait for a lawsuit.

Then again, coming back to what was told of us in class - its an ugly "formula", but the disabled don't offer much in the way of economic gain, so why is there a reason to cater to them? (No, it's not what I believe, but a hard set of rules that people like Architects consider with regards to pricing with clients. I see no reason why this financial rubric isn't also considered online.)
