You walking back the obvious implications of your anecdote makes it even worse. Now it's not even some wider Chinese cultural trait linking the students and the executive, just their ethnicity. Stop digging.

Nobody is asking you to pretend your experiences didn't happen. However, people usually only include details in a story if they are relevant. Here, you're including (and emphasizing, by virtue of where you posted the story) the detail that the students are Chinese, which by implication is relevant to your story.

It's fine to have these sorts of biases against other ethnicities early in your life. I did. Honestly, it would be a miracle if you didn't, because overwhelming messaging in media and society (by stories such as yours) tells us these biases are justified and important. Nobody is born with fully-developed political opinions. Just take this opportunity to recognize a bias in yourself and move beyond it.

This. Same with Facebook. Even if I choose to not use a particular service, these services still know about me because so many other people I interact with do use these services. I get that as a Gmail user, you've agreed to allow them to read emails for whatever they choose. However, I did not. If I hit reply to a Gmail account, I'm not agreeing to the ToS. Just because I visit a site that has chosen to use G*/FB does not mean that I agree to the ToS. A website's cookie notices give me the option to leave if I don't agree, but by then, all of the tracking has already started without my agreement.

i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered.

im willing to bet that the number of transgender population is a lot higher.

unabomber was also diagnosed to be transgender using modern definition.

my theory is ted bundy was also a transgender. there exists a sort of misogynistic jealousy towardsthe opposite sex but he is an extreme and rarely example along with unabomber.

people who are transgender are literally in a constant state of mental anguish. then you have normies and the social structure which is tilted to hetrosexual cis-gender populace.

i only found out i was transgender after decades of denial. its important to never lie to yourself. its amazing how much you can trick yourself in to believing in the image that those around you have set.

screaming someone misgendered you won't do jack shit.

as a transwoman my career options are now prostitution, pornography, and the drug trade but probably will be overlaps.

> a "responsive" layout is one that adapts to the viewport size

Precisely. More often than not, accomplishing this requires more than just squishing and stretching. Panes have to wrap around at certain points and the layout has to shift. You can do this with a bunch of special cases, but the better way is to let the rules of flow work for you. For example, you can have a flex child "grow to fill available space but have minimum size", so that if less than that minimum size is available it wraps around to the next line. You want to talk about your layout in terms of a series of sections, not a fixed grid. This was impossible with <table>; CSS Grid provides tools for special-casing these things, but it's still way more obtuse than letting them occur naturally.

This is what insurance is for. Where liability falls just determines who buys the insurance. If the electric company is liable, they'll buy the insurance. If not, the property owners will have to buy it.

Since estimating the risk is highly dependent on information that the electric company has and that the property owners generally do not have, it makes sense to want the electric companies to deal with insurance.

Also making the electric company be the one that buys insurance means that the costs can be passed on to the electric company's customers. The risk was taken to benefit those people, not to benefit that property owners, so it makes sense that those people should be the ones who pay.

It's also easier to have one electric company deal with obtaining insurance for their risks in a place than it is for hundreds of property owners to separately each do so.

Modern x86 is not RISC under the covers.

There’re instructions combining a dozen of math operations and also RAM loads, that on modern CPUs decode into just a single micro-op.

Example: https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/vfmadd132ps:vfmadd213ps:vf... The AVX version computes x=a*b+pointer[i], for 8 independent SIMD lanes.

If you call that amount of stuff in a single micro-op “reduced instruction set” I wonder what exactly is the meaningful definition that you referred to?
That’s a semantic issue. And a big if.
When we bought our newly built home in bay area 5 years ago, it took Apple maps 3 years to find it correctly. So many people went to wrong address as they did not follow my advise to use google maps. Apple maps auto-corrected the address to another place ~10 miles away.

hi tomc1985

> Why does category theory magically transform node diagrams into something usable from something not? Unreal blueprints/Reactor schematics/whatever are quite fine in their current form, even if their usage falls apart in advanced constructions. Is statebox going to magically make huge node-and-graph-designed programs reasonable?
Your writeup didn't convince me that "category theory" adds any significant value, and neither does it help inform as to what category theory actually is. How does statebox improve upon existing node-based programming implementations?

nothing magical, just good engineering and UX design and solid theoretical underpinnings.

cat. th. does add value: there are many ways to build diagrams and build syntaxes for diagrams, but they are not all equivalently powerful or general. but it turns out that there are diagrams that _are_ suitable, and this is what we use.

It will improve upon existing diagram tools in that it gives a formal theory of how they work, so you can really build huuge diagrams and still be sure everything works.

I didn't write the blog post, but I could try to write one about the value of category theory, because it is often misunderstood. It is however very abstract and takes the mind a while to see the value off, which is not so easy to convey.

> CS formality and big words misses the point of visual programming entirely, in that it is to simplify the process of software creation to make it more approachable to non-programmers. Unless your UX is absolutely top-notch you are going to lose these novice users as they struggle to deal with the constraints without a good reason to UX to do so.

oh, yeah this is something often misunderstood, we are not trying to target novice developers (yet). we need to develop a lot of stuff and CS formality is right now still the simplest way to understand the system. I mean, we are not trying to be arrogant or puffy or something, but for instance the way we realise our compilation is with "functorial semantics". we have a functor between categories that does the trick. We could call it something else, but it doesn't help (at this stage).

anyway, if we do our job well then all the category theory would be under the hood and you just get a nice UX for coding with diagrams.

What specifically are you disagreeing with in the quote? It does not say that Google is five nines, nor does it say whether or not five nines is desirable.

The argument is basically the following:

(1) Consider the claim that getting to 100% reliability is important.

(2) If the claim were true, then it would be important to go from 99.999999999999999% availability to 100%.

(3) That is obviously not important, so the claim must be false.

(4) Since we have shown that the best target value is not 100%, it must be some number x, with x < 100%.
Not OP but heath insurance, taxes and other costs that can be marked down exactly as being for Employee #X are in the 40%.

Paying for an office having light, power, internet, management, and a mailroom is in the 20%.

As a management consultant, I was billed out at about $875/hr. My salary was about $50/hr. That's a ratio of about 18:1. This felt fair to me. The billing had to cover a lot more than my salary.
No, it's not a semantic issue, but to someone who doesn't see it that way, sure it's a big if. Technology is developed in response to the pain points a given people might feel and represent their beliefs just as clearly as a drum beat.
I'm curious whether there's a better reference for gantry robotics? It looks like the hard parts here are non-mechanical, but I'd be interested to know more generally.

Automated brick-layers come to mind as another 3D positioning task with no pitch or roll, but I'm not familiar enough with the general space to know if they're at all representative. Among other things, I seem to remember they can't corner properly, which suggests they might be operating on a linear axis and a width rather than a proper 3D workspace.

Microsoft Dev Implores Mozilla to Surrender and Bring Firefox to Chromium
So we have two situations which both might cause harm. We have the situation where there is no mandatory public HIV reporting, which could cause harm in that it potentially allows more transmission of HIV. Then we have the situation where there is mandatory public HIV reporting, which could cause harm in that it could lead to people with HIV being ostracized. Why do you think the latter has more utility than the former? There have already been many good counterarguments in this thread but I will reiterate a few of them:

- Not every person with HIV is negligent, and to target people based on their circumstance rather than their actions could end up punishing more non-negligent individuals than negligent ones.

- People making risky decisions regarding their sexual partners or use of contraception are already not likely to check such a database even if it existed.

- Whereas the risk of transmitting HIV is exclusive to sexual partners, the risks of being publicly identified as HIV positive are far more widespread -- it could impact your career, your social status, etc.
Writing Apps in Go and Swift
I really hate this view of the world. I'm a developer, not a "C++ developer" or a "Java developer". I write code in C++, Java, C#, Python, Matlab, Rust, and other languages.

My current project has me working primarily in a mix of C++ and Java, and I would love nothing more than to rewrite the whole thing in Rust. Sadly, I did my job too well the first time around, and it's hard to justify a full rewrite of a codebase that already works.
Read your other comment and, thanks, I definitely learned something. I wasn't able to see the halos until I zoomed in, but they are definitely there, and yes it does make the photo seem mangled.

That said, I don't usually open blog posts and expect to be moved by a photo, and this one certainly did and it seemed like someone put the effort to make it a little more than ordinary. Whereas this photo moved me positively, it seems to have done the opposite for you.
I recently made the transition back to Firefox too, like a lot of other folks in here it seems. Containers makes working with all my AWS much easier, and the containers isolating Facebook are great.

One problem though, that I can't solve, is that every once in a while I want to log in with Facebook, like for AirBnB. But I can't, because the cookie only lives in the Facebook container, but I can't add AirBnB as a hostname to the Facebook container.

Has anyone solved this?

Edit: I just solved this. You have to disable the built in Facebook Container extension and then it works as expected.
I am sorry that you didn't get the joke. It is not about your website specifically, but web in general.

I bet the web will be invested with these things, resulting in a crappier user experience. But that doesn't matter right!? ...as long as the conversion rates are good. Sigh...

Not patio, but typically the 40% TCO includes items that scale ~linearly with the number of employees -- health insurance/other benefits, payroll taxes, etc. The 20% of overhead is for things like office space, business insurance, and to cover the salaries of employees like accountants and HR (who are essential but not billable to clients).

The main downside, of course, is the XUL extension authors are unlikely to keep updating their extensions now the XUL is dead on OG Firefox.

I heartily second the recommendation for "The Idea Factory"! I'm currently reading this book and aside from the seriously impressive run of successes, the characters are really quite amusing at times too. E.g., Shannon built a desktop calculator that operated using Roman numerals only ("THROBAC") in order to amuse himself. And some of the whimsical creations were pretty impressive in their own right. E.g., his maze-solving mouse "Theseus" learned the maze layout on progressive runs through the maze by using relay-based logic.
That was the case in the past, but T-Mobile were actively building up their network in the recent times so it should be a lot better than before. I didn't compare it myself, so can't say how much it has improved in areas where it was bad before.

Amen. I recently started at a WeWork and have had similar experiences.

* The noise levels are crazy, and we're not even in an open office plan. We share a wall with a conference room and I swear they must be made of tissue paper because it feels like 20+ people are in my little 3 person block every other day. The isolation from the other glass offices isn't great either.

* There's a lot of little things I took for granted from my old, cubicled gig, like eating at your desk. I'm a big proponent of actually eating in the break room, but you can't here. They've got hundreds of people per floor, but only a handful of tables, which are of course being used by people working or having impromptu meetings. But you can't bring your food into your office, because anything outside of a cold mayonnaise sandwich is going to stink up your little three person fishbowl to high heaven.

* Our whole building feels weirdly cramped. The kitchen in particular, only has enough room for two folks to stand next to each other at a time. Is someone heating their food while another person gets a glass of water? Congratulation, you better sit down and crack open a book and hope the coffee's still warm when you're able to get to the other side.

* Dogs. I get, I do. I love dogs. Great, furry, lovable little fucks. I don't like having to constantly look underfoot to make sure sure I'm not accidentally stepping on a labradoodle tail that's dangling out into the hallway. I don't like dobermans begging me for food at lunch. I don't like having to fight a golden retriever because I'm trying to get some damn ice and it's real, real curious about what's inside this vibrating box. I don't like having a goddamn chihuahua walk in under my toilet stall door.

* The lighting system in ours is also a nightmare. Too bright when it's on. No memory, you can't set a permanent dim and even if you could this causes it to buzz quite audibly. But the worst part is that it turns on when it detects movement and turns off when it doesn't, with no way to shut this behavior off. I'm usually the first into the office so that first hour... code for a few minutes lights go off take a sip of water lights immediately go on* code for a few minutes lights go off etc, etc, etc.

I will admit I prefer it to exclusively working from home. We tried that and by week 3 the loneliness was overwhelming (though you definitely still feel lonely when the people around you aren't coworkers either.)
What type of person is that? I'm honestly at a loss because it asks for nothing more than a simple narrative for why this opportunity fits the candidate, where the complexity of the video can be "turn on my phone's front camera and recorded for 60 seconds".

Is that a type of person? Is it a bad type of person? I don't understand the insinuation.
Depends on the business, but most of the 40% is employer contributions to payroll tax, health insurance, and other per-employee costs, and the 20% overhead is "general and administrative" (office manager, professional services, coffee, etc), coverage for non-billable employees like sales folks (including otherwise billable employees who are below 70% due to winning you the gigs keeping you at ~70%), and what have you.

If it isn't obvious, this is a bit handwavy; particular jurisdictions will have rates/requirements which materially influence the 140% figure, etc.
