> that would commit to what shade of "bronzed" they're actually talking about.

Um bronze metal. They would gold leaf or cover in bronze statues. Wasn't because we are talking about the different skin tones of modern Greece with modern Greece. It was that it wasn't the thing that defined people. Your origin was much what defined you and not your skin color.

> This sounds like an attempt to make something out of nothing,

I studied and even read Classical Greek for a few years in college. I can tell you that if you take that point with women it is absolutely true and this idea is more universal in Ancient Near East. Most cultures prized pale skin woman who did not have a tan since only the wealthy could afford such a life style. The Song of Solomon in the Bible even states that.

Song of Solomon 1:5-7
How right they are to adore you. 5 I am dark but beautiful, O women of Jerusalem dark as the tents of Kedar, dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents. 6 Don’t stare at me because I am dark the sun has darkened my skin. My brothers were angry with me; they forced me to care for their vineyards, so I couldn’t care for myself my own vineyard. 7 Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today? Where will you rest your sheep at noon? For why should I wander like a prostitute among your friends and their flocks?

Your wealth was seen by your lack of tan similar to how we view people wealthy based on cars and homes.

Okay, so he's being intentionally misleading in this piece, rather than presenting an academic view.

I'm fine with that stance, too. He's welcome to argue that the average household is "better off" as long as he's willing to subtract the added costs this situation creates. Or you can calculate doing the reverse; calculate the value generated with a greater number of stay-at-home parents in the 70s, so that this opportunity cost is reflected in the numbers when a second earner enters the formal workforce. Then at least we're comparing apples to apples and we can see where we end up. It's totally possible those lower-income cohorts are better off now, but he hasn't attempted to prove it.

Also, it's a lie to present this as individuals earning more money unless you acknowledge that you're averaging individuals across households, and not comparing ACTUAL working individuals.. And admit that you're factoring in some number of individuals in the 70s earning $0 and some other number of individuals today earning $0.

I am well aware of why some people think diversity is good. Many things are good. Few things are critical.

I'll make a strong claim - there is no evidence, that diversity is critical for the success of any business, on this planet.

It's an easy claim to make because diversity is not a well defined scientific term, hence there can be no evidence. Which was my point - we can hand wave about diversity, inclusivity and all kinds of things - let's just not pretend it's anything but empty hand waving.

Before anyone comes back with saying I'm cherry picking one sentence out of an entire article - it is the foundation of this entire diversity movement. If we agree that we don't know whether diversity is important, we can begin to focus on things that people actually care about - like standards of living and wages.
Fun fact: aluminum used to be more valuable than gold.

OpenGL and OpenCL are deprecated in MacOS Mojave 10.14
Recompose is not really compatible with TypeScript (no clue about Flow). Render props are a good alternative but the nesting made composing a bit cumbersome. Hooks are easy to type and compose quite fine it seems.
Looks like the default way of writing react components in ClojureScript (with Reagent [1]). Compare:

CLJS, Reagent:

(def click-count (r/atom 0))
(defn counting-component []
[:div
"The atom " [:code "click-count"] " has value: "
@click-count ". "
[:input {:type "button" :value "Click me!"
:on-click #(swap! click-count inc)}]])

JS, React + Hooks:

function Example() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<p>You clicked {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Click me
</button>
</div>);}

Not sure about the name "hooks". Trying to figure out why they name them like that.

> YMMV is not a contradiction

YMMV was your second statement. Your first statement was a flat assertion that is false for many people, including me.

> You're applying a worst case experience with a cubicle to all cubicles

No, I'm saying that the worst case experience exists and is basically the same as no cubicles. Your statement that I objected to was "There's a whole lot more noise isolation than no cubicles at all", which is simply false for the worst case (which I think is fairly common actually).
I distinctly remember the phrase "V in MVC" being prominently displayed somewhere on the official React website(s).

Found it: https://web.archive.org/web/20140329114924/http://facebook.g...

> JUST THE UI

> Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

So I was mistaken. It didn't say that's what it's only intended for, but that's what many people use it for.

Either way, it's not great at the M or C parts of MVC. Context does very little to ease that pain. Redux was more manageable but also overly complex, but it's only React's design that forced it to be so complex.
It's not the company making the decision; it's oneself. Of course, you're free to make your own decisions, but I personally use the "don't" policy.
It looks like the winner is a standard dehumidifier bolted to a standard biomass generator that has a condenser from a high efficiency furnace bolted on to it.

So the only "magic" they are doing is also capturing the water vapor from the generators combustion. While somewhat novel in combining it all, its all off the shelf tech.

What I don't like is the lack of good hard numbers in its performance in a range of conditions as snake oil is extremely common in the water from air industry.

I'm a biolermaker¹ with 20 years experience in the trade.

Now I operate a laser cutter, have a fairly extensive AutoHotKey script, can navigate my way around the post processor that generates the particular dialect of G-Code our laser prefers, and know a touch of python.

* differentiate between backlog and ready for development: (bi)weekly triage
* bugs first, then code reviews, then features
* order features by priority; PM? Triage as well?
* work ready for development list top to bottom

Looks like the tags and keyvals could cover some of that. Maybe a bit hard to express priority (or change it).

Would be neat if changes in the dashboard would update the todos in your code (bit scary though)
Maybe I'm an outlier, but I've used these things a handful of times and have always received an immediate response. I don't mean an automated response trying to "answer" my question either. It was an actual person responding to my specific questions.

I have also seen chat windows that display an "Away Message" showing that you won't receive a response right away before you type anything at all, which isn't deceptive.
I have not ignored the progress made 'over there'. I recently rode in a JAC S5 and a Great Wall sedan (I forgot the model).

I'm sorry you're not willing to believe a thing called 'data'. Yes, I believe Tesla vehicles are precisely as safe as the results show they perform on the various crash tests. Crash tests that every automaker designs their cars to perform well on. Crash tests whose parameters every automaker knows full well.

> During the job interview, she said he told her that he and his wife were “polyamorous,” a word often used to describe an open marriage. She said he invited her to Burning Man, an annual festival in the Nevada desert, the following week.

Oh, commas and sentence structure, so important.

One says Burning Man was the next week, entirely possible because she thought it was talking about the job (leaving aside -that- naivete), and makes him a liar, in that he couldn't have "believed that she had been informed that she didn't get the job" if he invited her during the interview.

The other says the invitation came the next week.
>like retraining people whose jobs have been automated away

In the scenario I am describing, this is not possible.

Yes I am aware of the luddites. I also strongly believe that a threshold exists where technology can outperform humans in every conceivable way, and we will cross that line one day. FWIW, complete collapse of our (current) economic system would occur well before we reach that line anyways. If even 50% of humans were displaced by technology you would likely see violent revolution. Consider the impact of the US great depression, where just under 25% of people were unemployed...

A Comparison of Modern Graphics APIs
From http://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machine...

The charming side of Richard helped people forgive him for his uncharming characteristics. For example, in many ways Richard was a sexist. Whenever it came time for his daily bowl of soup he would look around for the nearest "girl" and ask if she would fetch it to him. It did not matter if she was the cook, an engineer, or the president of the company. I once asked a female engineer who had just been a victim of this if it bothered her. "Yes, it really annoys me," she said. "On the other hand, he is the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics to me as if I could understand it." That was the essence of Richard's charm.
Of course it varies with accent and locale. So phonetic transcriptions don't help unless we use IPA. But in British English, "weary" has a diphthong and "wary" does not. Very distinctly different words.

On the subject, we pronounce "router" and "router" (two different words, same spelling) differently, one with a diphthong, one without.
I'm not objecting to holding executives at higher standard. I'm objecting to zero-tolerance policies at workplace (or anywhere), which is (in a way) the opposite of holding people at higher standard: it's basically saying "I don't trust you to have common sense, so here are the rules and you will follow them unquestionably."

It's a pain in the ass for those who have common sense, and unmitigated disaster for those who don't.

I'm convinced most successful programmers can be successful mechanics for the same reason!

Most programmers I know tend to be handy in some way, whether that's fixing their own cars (myself), wood working, or some other skill which requires them to think through problems and work with their hands.

I actually view fixing cars as not only a hobby of mine, but as a fall back career should I ever become bored of software or need some quick cash.

No. She went into an airport wearing a circuitboard with flashing lights that made some people uneasy. When they asked her about it, she ignored them. Edit: Also, she was holding Play-doh, which no adult does at an airport, and can look like plastic explosives.

Even if they did overreact (and they pretty much have to aggressively err on the side of caution), it was a bit tone deaf and callous for her to act that way.

That is not needed the way washing cloth and ironing was. Which is why the micromanagement trends are not domain of working classes as much as upper classes.

Micromanaged kids don't need parent at home a lot of it is outsourced to schools and clubs. And parent at home wishing to be needed or useful may be contributing to the perceived need for micromanagement (plus those who want women at home for emotional or ideological reasons want to see all that mecessary).
I have sympathy for the author's frustration but they open-sourced their work under a very permissive license.

It sounds comical that suddenly something becomes valuable because you hang it in a gold frame, make minor modifications to it and ascribe it some symbolism. But that is exactly how contemporary artworks are done.

If you go to exhibits and auctions, it is not uncommon to see highly valued work that requires little sophistication to produce. The days you would woo the art world by technical mastery alone are (mostly) over. This story fits in the greater trend and there might be a bit of a culture clash.

I'm inclined to think that the general public underestimate contemporary art and the art world overestimate its superiority over the more conventional works. Whether it is for better or worse, I will leave you judge of that.
AAA studios always use middleware, if it isn't bought, it is done in-house.

The actual set of 3D API is a tiny portion of everything that a game engine requires, among scene management, materials handling, graphical editor, plugins, sound, physics,....

So one always ends up with a pluggable rendering layer, where adding a new API is relatively simple.

Now what has been happening is that with production costs skyrocketing, most studios are increasable adopting external middleware that they just adapt to their purposes than writing everything from scratch.

For example, you can get Unreal and get support for NVidia's raytracing features out of the box, or invest the money to develop the same features from scratch in-house.

The culture in the games industry is that what matters is the story, gameplay, taking advantage of hardware features and getting the game out there, tech comes and goes.
I'm not sure I'd put it that strongly, but it is quite clear that Shotwell has been a huge factor in SpaceX and the absence of someone like her is part of why Tesla is comparatively less healthy. She deserves a lot more credit.

This is why I think the idea of expecting justice within companies or universities is a bad idea.

The justice system should be independent and have a defined process and standards of evidence. This helps avoid two kinds of injustice:

* injustice giving unfair dis advantage to accused people who aren't high-value enough to justify the internal drama (or legal risk) of an accusation

They aren't. It is very difficult to know where you stand with them (right now), and they are more than willing to waste your time.
