I don't mean it that way. Yes, on-the-wire format would have changed, maybe there would have been a required transition from v4 to v4.1, which could then have been backward compatible to v6.

To be fair, I don't think the authors of v6 at the time realized how much friction an alternative IP stack would cause.
This is a really cool idea. I especially like the 'cost comparison' feature.

Minor quibble - I checked for Philippines as I'm from UK and go there quite a lot. The DB says the visa exemption is 21 days - it's actually 30 days.

Where do you get your data from? Trawling embassy sites? That's quite a lot of work as the information does change. Take Thailand for example - they have made so many changes over the years it's hard to keep up with - even the border staff often don't know what the latest regulation is! :)
Book Review: Managing Humans
It is interesting how Go seems to be doomed to head down the same path as other languages it accused of being "bloated." No one intends to design a complicated language but the reality is that the problem space is complicated.

The only thing that isn't so forgivable with Go is that these aren't new problems this time around. Go is still struggling to get over challenges that were first seen a long time ago. It's a great experiment on designing for complexity vs trying to avoiding complexity.
This always comes up but people seem to just ignore the complexity: What exactly is supposed to happen when the spend hits your budget?

Even a few bytes sitting on S3 continue to incur charges and it's hard to be real-time with spend tracking at the scale of these providers so the only option they have is to delete your entire account immediately. Is that what you want? Who would?

For most companies, business continuity matters. The proper solution is to use the budget and reporting features to check your work.

"I have the feeling that we’ve been only addressing one side of the story. It’s the side where women are victims. I’m here to tell the story of how I, as a woman in tech, benefited from sexism and that men can be victims too."

Something that keeps bugging me - and this is in no way limited to tech - how being a victim has become an identity to many, which is almost worn as a badge. While I do what I can to emphasize with every individual who has been exposed to discrimination, harassment (and while as a white man I experienced most likely much less of this, although not nothing), a scenario in which everyone walks around all day long feeling as the victim (followed by the inevitable selective perception and confirmation bias) cannot function.

I recently listened to a philosophy podcast which started with a line which has since been stuck in my head "In a time in which being a victim offers so much social capital...". (edit: I recalled the quote slightly inaccurately, but the point was the same: "In a culture in which there is so much social currency connected to being a victim..." In case you are curious, it's episode #105 of philosophizethis.org)

I don't know what to do
about it and I in no way want to diminish the harm that those who feel like victims experienced. But whenever victimhood is becoming an identity, things are getting out of hand.

(the feeling of being a systemic/structural victim can be found on all sides of the political/ideological/gender spectrum of course).

Variety is choice, choice is freedom, choice is tyranny, choice leads to the Dark Side.
The industry is legally forbidden from discussing this subject, so all discussions here or elsewhere will inevitably miss the point. And as members of the public, Google will tell us whatever mitigates their risk the best. You want freedom of speech and the ability to make arguments, you don't work for a public company. And trying to debate it, is like trying to debate Galileo while the inquisition is in the room.

Corporations are required to save all electronic records for SOX auditing, and the State of California might decide to help themselves to those records when their Attorney General is trying to make a name for himself by bringing a gender discrimination lawsuit. That's why you fire people who make a habit of saying incriminating things in easily-searchable electronic format.

For a similar reason, they should probably fire every Google employee who talked about it on the public internet. Very high chance of being troublemakers who draw attention from the government.
> What makes PassMark a representative CPU benchmark?

Sadly nothing. PassMark is infamous for being not representative, and you can easily check that by looking at the position of the FX processors, which are rated way too high.

I run a pc hardware builder with a recommender function at its core, which means that the real core is the meta benchmark powering the recommender. It works by taking professional reviews of real life workloads, and I think it is a lot more realistic, though absolute ordering is of course not that easy. I recently made the benchmark results visible, there is one for games: https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/games/cpu and one for applications: https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/apps/cpu . Threadripper is in there and the big model leads the app benchmark, but I still need to add more benchmarks with the threadripper processors to make the result more certain.

At the beginning I even started with the passmark results, but had to move to better data when user complained the results were not good. They were right.
The giants of postmodernism, like Jacques Derrida and Jean-Paul Sartre, were fanatically Marxist before they became postmodernists. They themselves described their philosophies as evolutions of Marxism. Derrida for his part described his outlook as carrying on the spirit of Marxism.

The philosophy very openly calls for deconstruction of all existing values and power structures, and a radical rejection of what the modernist interpreted as reason.

I think you are deliberately downplaying this element of postmodernist philosophy and I don't think you're doing the discussion any favors by casting your opponents as bigots.

Of course. But then I also made that point too. Frequently in fact and in the very post you're replying to as well. Plus also in the other reply that echoed the same point you're raising here. I'm not justifying Go's behavior here. Absolutely not! It is unexpected and bad. But we have already established and agreed on that point so moved onto another question regarding whether the authors example is an issue that is likely to arise often. I was attempting to explain why I felt it was a poor example and not trying to justify Go's behavior - which at risk of repeating myself: we all already agree is bad.

How Do Cryptocurrency Blockchains Really Work?
Linux distributions are created and maintained by different organizations, and they differ, not in what they are able to do, but in how they accomplish it. Microsoft is a single organization creating artificial strata within a single product. Both lead to a confusing array of choices, but while the diversity of Linux distributions is an organic outgrowth of Linux's licensing, leading to competition for users and maintainers which drives changes and innovation in the resulting products, the Windows stratification is completely artificial and does nothing to drive change or innovation, instead simply increases user confusion only in order to capture pricing flexibility in the market. I'm sure it's profitable for Microsoft to do this, but as a user, it's incredibly frustrating. Luckily I am able to choose not to deal with the Microsoft market-shaving licensing morass anymore, and I can spend my mental energy thinking about what I'm building, instead of choosing which licensing strategy is most cost-effective, and constantly worrying about compliance.

Wait, whether you receive an AAAA DNS record has nothing to do with whether you're in IPv6 - it's to do with whether you're requesting AAAA records. How exactly are you testing this? What does `dig google.com AAAA @8.8.8.8` get you?

You know what else gives you insane amount of security? Insane amount of money in your bank account :)

If you are working on B2B contract, making 750 euros per day you'll quickly accumulate savings, and having 100-200k euro in your bank account allows you to not be worried about where to find your next contract.

Also, if you are running business in Europe you are still paying social security fees for yourself, so you still get that "free" healthcare, pension, and even sick leave coverage.

As per mortgage, you still can have it (although with all your savings you'll probably never need it), provided that you run your business for at least a year and have regular cash flow.

The one disadvantage is that leadership roles and promotions are usually reserved for permanent employees, although some companies employ team leads or PMs on B2B contracts as well.
Well, not the MathML cases I think (although that's admittedly not part of CSS)
>I'm of the opinion that the very act of trying to artificially create equal outcome, is itself sexism.

The predominant view (with enough dominance to get someone fired from Google for challenging it) is that there are no differences between the sexes that can be considered legitimate at all (cultural, in preferences, evolutionary tendencies, etc.), and thus any non-equal outcome much inevitably be the result of suppression.

I don't doubt oppression against women existed and exists (in various forms).

I doubt:

a) that it is an one way street (women have immense power over their children, including male children, and a particular role later in sexual selection, which is hardly a male-dominated "sport") that are not questioned at all in modern societies (e.g. not in the era of arranged marriages). It's assumed that "patriarchy" is bad, but not that "matriarchy" can be bad as well.

b) that there are no legitimate, at least in the context of evolution and culture, differences in preferences between sexes that are not attributable to downright oppression or some "anti-woman" notion.

Women are men, in essence, that just happen to lack penises, and men are women, in essence, that just happen to lack vaginas. Differences in development, body types, capabilities, evolutionary roles, hormonal content, etc., are not to be considered beyond this a priori fact.

If we're talking about the spar-type hywind base in the video:

Its catenary mooring system resists rotation of the turbine hull. How much so, I can't say.

I suspect that by far the greatest rotational forces exerted on the structure are coming from wind, not from water, and these would result in low-frequency motions that could be countered by the already rotating nacelle. The smooth spar structure means that surface waves and currents don't result in huge moments about vertical.

> Sexism isn’t making it harder for women to enter tech. From my personal experiences, sexism makes it even easier for women to enter tech, though I understand that my experiences don’t generalize to that of other women.

The OP may have personally benefited from sexism. I don't understand why that leads to the assertion of "Sexism isn't making it harder for women to enter tech" when her experience seems to better support, "Sexism doesn't necessarily make it harder for women to enter tech"

Edit: Not being pedantic for pedantic' sake. The OP's assertion inherently contradicts the assertions of women who do believe that they were hindered by sexism. So I'm genuinely confused if the OP believes that assertion as it is written, or if it's a case of imprecise wording.
> In a time in which being a victim offers so much social capital

I think this only applies to specific subgroups and not the general population.

I don't think many people would care about a hedge fund manager that was bullied in school for example.
The whole thing reminds me of one Arthur C. Clarke short story, probably from the 1950s, where a group of Tibetan monks has purchased a computer to generate "all the one billion possible names of God". Before the computer, the monks had been doing the work by hand for centuries.

An American computer engineer is sent to install the machine. He chuckles at the monks' superstition: they claim that generating the billion gibberish strings is a task from God and the fundamental purpose of the universe.
After glancing over the whitepaper, I get the motivation, but I just don't see how this scheme is viable, financially.

Participants with little storage to give, have little to earn, but must remain connected to the network. Why bother with that?

Participants with large amounts (petabytes) of storage to give are competing with Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, etc. At this scale, it's hard to imagine competing financially with these and other giants. (Furthermore, if you have petabytes of storage idling around, you might have a business problem anyway.)
Making things ugly on purpose and calling it a feature.
"somehow (almost) everybody fell asleep at the wheel and forgot that equal opportunity trumps equal outcome"

It may be that as a lot of folks have argued (including Scott Alexander[1]) that women are simply less inclined to go into tech for innate reasons. (Not saying that's true, but it seems at least plausible.) But even if true, it may also be true that systemic bias is still a problem. IOW, what the Google memo and a lot of other folks seem unable to acknowledge is that these points aren't mutually exclusive.

Ross Douthat -- not exactly a raging progressive -- makes this point well[2]:

"The memo was sometimes tone deaf, clinical, insensitive (in, well, a stereotypically male sort of way), understating the ways in which self-selection and sexism can shape an industry. Even if more men than women are attracted to a particular field, a male-dominated profession can be distinctly unpleasant for the women who work in it, in ways that can justify special scrutiny, recruitment and redress."

In China there are fewer barriers to women entering the tech industry - it is not perceived there to be a bastion of bro-ness. Therefore there are more women in the tech.

Linux distributions represent the efforts of different teams to make the best systems for their particular niche. With Windows, on the other hand, a single organization develops a single system (the canonical good version), and from that they create various worse versions by applying limitations in different combinations to the good version.
Single core performance on the i9 is still going to be significantly higher though, so it depends on your use case. Testing I've seen so far has had the i9 getting about 20% higher framerates in games, for example.
