Toxic masculinity get judged based on the meaning it express as words. Languages in the end is all about expressing meaning.

If we talk about toxic Muslims as the subset of terrorist behavior, then most people would still see it as an generalization that invoke a expression of racisms and hate. Lumping together all Muslims, only to then say "Its a misunderstanding, I only meant this small subset that is toxic among Muslims" don't work. Does not work for racism, and it does not work for sexism either. The term toxic masculinity will always seem like veiled hatred against men, and no amount of "that is only a misinterpretation ..." will change that.

I think you are reading too much into the term "free software" as GNU was historically[1] no less easier to contribute to than Clojure is today.

The GNU definition of free software (and the 4 freedoms) make it clear that it is about users, but only inasmuch as their private rights to do what they want on their own computers. There is no sense that openly welcoming community patches is something that is involved.

1: It's entirely possible that the community has opened up more recently, but Lucid shipped a fork of Emacs in the 80s for similar reasons to the complaints about clojure today.

It still irks me that something as rare and prestigious as the World Cup (and Olympic Hockey) can get decided by shootouts. I mean, I get it, football has a huge pitch and it'd probably be ridiculous to have guys exhausted, barely able to jog at the 150th minute.

That said, one of the things I love about NHL playoff hockey is that without compromise, it's first goal wins overtime, where players are willing to do everything and anything to get that win. Block every shot, hustle when they're exhausted... it's truly amazing. One of my favorite quotes about the quintuple overtime game between the Penguins and Flyers in 2000:

> LeClair: After the third overtime … our locker room became a lot more loose. It was pretty comical in the locker room between guys searching for food, some guys getting IVs. It was a little bit of survival mode.

> Primeau: Usually on the road the team orders pizza for the locker room. There's pizza for the guys, power gels, power bars, they were really popular. The trunk of those was gone, the pizza was gone. Trainers are going up to concession stands to see if there's anything there. [The] coaches' popcorn was eaten.

If you follow the Amber Guyger case carefully you'll notice that the Dallas Police Chief has a recruitment problem. That officer-involved shooting will be a heavy burden on the departmental budget, and it also became apparent that there is a serious discipline problem in the force. Normal people won't join for the salaries that Dallas can offer, and you can't fire the officers with a disciplinary record because they are already understaffed. There's a vicious circle in operation.

You'd have to start at the other end, impose severe discipline on the officers, and it would be a good idea to introduce proper drug testing, steroid abuse is a serious problem with police officers. In the short term that would exacerbate the recruitment problem, so no easy solutions. Maybe conscription would be viable, if the military can have conscription, why can't the country have mandatory public service. Bring back the miliz!

AWS by itself will be the size of Oracle in fiscal 2020. They'll do $24-$25 billion in sales for 2018. Oracle's business hasn't expanded in years: sales in 2015 were $38b, and that's still their approximate annualized sales figure today. AWS is ~64% the size of Oracle. In 2019 they'll be 85% the size of Oracle.

So there you have Oracle with essentially zero growth and a failed cloud business that is not only running from behind, it's a disaster. Things are so bad, Oracle has begun trying to hide their cloud numbers when they report.

Simultaneously, Oracle's balance sheet is turning into a toxic wasteland. Net tangible assets have gone from positive $6 billion to negative $12 billion in just three quarters. They're now spending the equivalent of ~22% of their net profit on debt interest alone. Ellison will have to try to turn to another very large acquisition soon to bail out the ship that is about to sink. As the large cloud competitors get far larger in the next few years, they're going to begin not just robbing Oracle of growth but taking their existing business away. The scale is at a point where for AWS and Azure to double in size again (guaranteed to happen), Oracle is going to lose big.

FORTRAN has multidimensional arrays, and the compilers know about them and optimize aggressively. Most other languages don't. C people just do not get multidimensional arrays. They think an array of arrays is good enough. I tried to convince the Go people to put in multidimensional arrays, with no success.

Years ago, I had an amusing fight with the C++ committee over this.

In C++, you can overload the "[]" operator:

int& operator[] (int i)

But you can't do that for multiple arguments.

int& operator[] (int i, int j)

Why? An obscure feature of C and C++ is that the precedence of the comma is different for function argument lists and subscript lists. In

foo(a,b)

is a function call with two arguments.

foo[a,b]

is an invocation of the comma operator, which ignores the second operand. The syntax charts reflect this. So I proposed that the syntax for comma usage be the same in both
"()" and "[]" forms. If you see "foo[a,b]" in a C/C++ program, it's almost certainly an error. I searched through large volumes of code and was unable to find a single use of the comma operator inside brackets.

But no, there's a "save the comma operator" faction.

C people just do not get multidimensional arrays.
Shockingly Bad use of line numbers.

It's basically a switch statement, but without the benefit of descriptive case identifiers. So it's basically,

switch (I-20) {
case 21:
case 22:
...
}

but you have to imagine "21" as the string identifier, not the integer value. `I-20` is indexing the list of labels in the GOTO statement.

The earlier column beginning with

GOTO (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) I

is easier to read

switch (I) {
case 1:
...
case 2:
...
}

because the integer value of I, the string labels, and their index in the list are all the same.

I've never written Fortran. I did learn to program using TI-85 BASIC, though, and am well versed in C. The GOTO in the Fortran code is possibly the easiest part for me to understand.

Well, there is also a bit of xenophobia against foreigners that they have to sort out. It manifests in weird ways, like not being able to give foreigner employees options in local companies.

My un-Zen-trained take on it is that Tõzan represents you/me/the student. The teacher stays punishment because the student has not actually done anything wrong, but the threat of punishment is mentioned in the abstract in order to concentrate the student's mind.

The teacher then gets angry because the student tries too hard to understand by questioning the teacher rather than trying to work out their own answer or accepting the state of things.

The correct "answer" to the question then (so far as there is one) is to place yourself in the story and either accept it as it is, or come up with an interpretation of the story (like this).

The wrong answer is to ask what the answer is.

> Later that day, the Nato commanders left their building and went home, congratulating themselves on another successful – albeit sobering – exercise. What Western governments only discovered later is that Able Archer 83 came perilously close to instigating a real nuclear war.

You'd think that NATO was just having their quiet simulation and those silly Soviets misinterpreted, right?

What the article fails to acknowledge is the deliberate provocations targeting USSR at the same time as the military exercise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Archer_83#Psychological_o... :

"Psychological operations (PSYOP) by the United States began in mid-February 1981 and continued intermittently until 1983. These included a series of clandestine naval operations that stealthily accessed waters near the Greenland–Iceland–United Kingdom (GIUK) gap, and the Barents, Norwegian, Black, and Baltic seas, demonstrating how close NATO ships could get to critical Soviet military bases. American bombers also flew directly towards Soviet airspace, peeling off at the last moment, sometimes several times per week. These near-penetrations were designed to test Soviet radar vulnerability as well as demonstrate US capabilities in a nuclear war"

More commonly in Japan, individuals will "lock themselves up" in their own home, very similar to what house arrest would look like.

It's referred to as hikikomori[1], the practice of becoming a recluse to avoid the stresses of daily life (school, work, anything). It's surprisingly common and tends to put quite a strain on families, but as it's so common, it's relatively accepted as a disease (or more directly, mental illness) of sorts.

2080 is the standard HR number because 52 [weeks] * 40 [hours in a week] = 2080 [hours per year]. And 40 = 5 [days of week] * 8 [hours per day] for your standard 9 to 5 job.

There's no vacation/holidays/sick leave included because those hours that you actually don't work are still paid. In other words the vacation and holiday policy is just a discount you get from your employer on the total 2080 hours per year they would have otherwise requested from you.

I second the sentiment of wishing design was more valued. It's a shame, really, that the majority of engineers look down on something that is so essential to customer experience.
I do think there’s a paradigm shift coming. it’s a combination of the ongoing shift away from latency- to throughput oriented design with the capabilities shown in new interlinks, especially nvlink/nvswitch. This allows DGX-2 to already cover a fair amount of what would otherwise have to be programmed for midsized clusters - if it can be made to scale one more order of magnitude (i.e. ~ 10 DGX) I think there’s not much left that wouldn’t fit there but would fit something like Titan. There’s not that much so embarassingly parallel that the communication overhead doesn’t constrain it, and if doesn’t, you again don’t care much about data locality as it becomes trivial (e.g. compute intensive map function).

Assuming (with a tip of the hat to misterbwong) that you want to demonstrate the impact is real by measuring it, A/B testing would be one of the more popular ways to do it nowadays. The kinds of questions you can ask with it are somewhat limited, so you've got to be worried about the trap of searching where the light is better. But it is so very cheap and easy.

If you have more resources and need to ask questions A/B testing doesn't handle well, you can also do it with good old-fashioned surveying. Take (say) a few hundred people sampled as representatively as possible from your target market. Randomly show half of them a version of the design that uses one typeface, and the other half a version that uses another. Ask them to rate how well they liked the design. See if there's a difference. Or ask them to recall things they saw, and see if there's a difference.

wow that's messed up :(. We experimented on a baby that :

1) never had the need of this experiment, it was not to cure him but to test the effect of messing with a certain gene.

2) we never had its consent (obviously)

I don't know about US, but in EU we don't experiment with people, without their concent and in order not to cure them, but to find how to build a stronger race.

That's a whole higher level of screwed up that just happened in China.

I don't think you even read the quotes you posted, let alone the whole article. How does the second one you posted not meet your criteria? You also missed one.

a study just out from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that he labeled, “Krefeld comes to Puerto Rico.” The study included data from the 1970s and from the early 2010s, when a tropical ecologist named Brad Lister returned to the rain forest where he had studied lizards — and, crucially, their prey — 40 years earlier. Lister set out sticky traps and swept nets across foliage in the same places he had in the 1970s, but this time he and his co-author, Andres Garcia, caught much, much less: 10 to 60 times less arthropod biomass than before. (It’s easy to read that number as 60 percent less, but it’s sixtyfold less: Where once he caught 473 milligrams of bugs, Lister was now catching just eight milligrams.)
MeToo was started in 2006. If "everybody" supports that anyway, why was there even anything to start?

> In 1997, Tarana Burke sat across from a 13-year-old girl who had been sexually abused. The young girl was explaining her experience, and it left Ms. Burke speechless.

Have female friends ever confided stories in you that left you speechless, helpless, and angry? And even that would normally just be the tip of an iceberg, not a full, detailed report of all the stuff that is going on... not even in their life, not to mention the world. The abuse that is going on is greater than our capacity to even face it.

And it is hard for people to speak about this stuff, and while I agree that it might not be "as brave" to encourage others to speak out, I think it's absolutely fine to award her. She's not the kind of person who gives a shit about awards. She wants actual abuse to actually end, she wants actual wounds to actually heal -- nothing more, nothing less, fair enough, godspeed, you go girl, all the good things... not just for her, but for the people she represents, and who are acknowledged by this award as well.

> Tarana Burke said she will not let her movement that she founded in 2006 and that has resulted in her getting death threats and having to challenge black leaders to support it, be co-opted by pretty girls and Hollywood.

So everybody agrees -- except the abusers, the people who don't want to hear about abuse, and the people sending death threats of course :P

> She cited statistic after statistic about women who aren’t famous but attacked because of their gender identity or economic powerlessness. But the worst, she said, was the fate of indigenous and Native American women “the group we talk about the least,” she said.

She seems to have the heart in the right spot, I'll say that much. Every "movement" can always attract anyone to do anything in its name, but I am absolutely down with what I read of that woman so far.
