I can’t understand this either. Of course you know very little about something when you are just starting out, that is expected, where is the shame in that? Hopefully you’ll learn it eventually, and if not, well then it wasn’t for you. We can’t all be good at everything.

1. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/inclusivity

> The practice or policy of including people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those who have physical or mental disabilities and members of minority groups.

2. Without an understanding of power, is there a useful definition of "inclusivity"?

Or is it just a whitewashed feelgood platitude that can't mean anything in the end, because if you include everyone, including people who are decidedly discriminating against you, that it constitutes some ideal of "inclusiveness"?

Virtue signaling is contagious; it infects everything that touches it. My response here will be seen as virtue signaling too, simply because the concept was invoked upthread.

Personally, I see a problem less with signals and more with how people make them and respond to them. Aforementioned attempt to appropriate a generic symbol for specific movement is an example of hostile behaviour. Sane people would roll their eyes and carry on with their days, but on the Internet, it starts to become dangerous to let this nonsense pass unchallenged, as then you might find yourself on the business end of Twitter pitchforks after saying something you're unaware that some activist group apparently has dibs on.

LISP is maybe expressive and composable language but "best" depends on usecase.

From my understanding due to runtime code generation possibility it's hard to "read" (analyse control flow). When code is hard to read then it's also hard to cooperate. That's probably a reason why LISP isn't more popular.

Ruby shares some of these issues due to too much runtime ability. It's maybe nice to use and beautifull from the outside but too messy inside and you can't really rely on it. Kinda like a cheap girl :P

You need to stop thinking of it as an OS. It's just an easy/lazy way to grab all the dependencies your process may need. Here's a silly analogy:

You're trying to containerize a simple football game. To run the game you need to provide a playing field that meets all the requirements of the rules, your dependencies.

You could go through all the rules one by one and write down what is required, like you need a line here of that length, another there that has to be at least x far away, but no more than y, and so forth. After the tedious task of collecting all your dependencies you give it a test run and it all looks good, but then boom the game suddenly stops. Whoops you forgot a dependency and didn't provide the goals, or added the wrong ones.

Alternatively you can take the easy route. You know they play regulation football in Ubuntu stadium, so you just take a copy of that. It comes with a lot of overhead - you don't need the ranks, concession stands or parking lots to simply play football without all the faff, but it's included because league football needs it.

Edit: When you do take the base image of Ubuntu stadium and docker run it, the default is set to play a game of football, because that's the most likely thing you want to do there. It doesn't activate the media coverage and stadium announcer, doesn't sell tickets and fills up the parking lot because none of that is required to play. You could if you wanted to, but you could also tear it all out and the default game would still run.
It's a Qt app which can run on virtually any platform.
So many of the best are missing. Eg from the L4 family with widest adoption and best HW support only the smallest SeL4 is present, but not OKL4, L4Re, Fiasco, L4Ka::Pistachio, L4/MIPS, WrmOS, Genode.
What perplexes me is the level of ignorance of the people pushing these. You don't get to decide how people use emojis. That kind of evolves naturally.

I'm more concerned with it being yet another thing activists get upset over when people start "using it wrong."

I just wanted to communicate that I had Chipotle last night.
You just gave a useful definition of inclusivity, which doesn't rely on power in the sense that it is employed in this context. Or, alternatively, excluding others is a power in and of itself - a very common power to have, and people do that all the time to those who have other powers over them (sometimes for that very reason!).

But no, it doesn't mean that you have to include people who are decidedly discriminating against you. Which, again, has nothing to do with their power to actually do so, systemic or otherwise. For example, an NBP black supremacist can be rightly rejected because they're known for their anti-Semitic rants with threats of genocide, despite the fact that they have no ability to actually carry them out.
That's an excellent patch. Partial writes (and reads) is a known behavior which is often overlooked. It rarely (if ever) occurs on local file systems, and even the network ones manifest it only from time to time, usually when there is some kind of congestion/segmentation is going on.

It's a pity a lot developers out there do not have an ingrained awareness about this.

"Not worry too much about schooling, the R's [Reading, Writing, Arithmetic] yes they're very important, but all the other stuff I think could be ditched in favour of a better understanding of the world"

"There are answers of various kinds but I think it needs the right sort of politics to change people's thinking about these things and I'd like to see these youngsters using their energies and their talent in this way rather than looking for some techy answer because I don't think the answer's going to come that way."

A Condensed Study of Major Crypto-Economic Research Papers
Its an interesting article.. I have questions!

This antibody binds to 'tissue factor' which are present at high levels on the surface of many cancer cells. Are these tissue factor present in significant proportions on other types of cell? (Reading later it suggests that side effects can include nose bleeds which I wonder if that means that nasal tissue also contains this)

The figures that they show; obviously it is a small cohort anyway and these people were otherwise considered untreatable but do we know what percentage of (eg) ovarian cancer would otherwise find that their tumors were either shrinking or had stopped growing? It would be important to compare that against the 14% they saw..

The mechanism of action is good, I am not able to say if it is novel (the name they use for the technique relates to an incident ~4000 years ago); do we have leads on other particular circumstances which may be useful to do this? (eg prostate cancer was not affected.. presumably because it has no tissue factor on its surface? could it identifiable by any other means?)
I'm only saying what the OP and I'm stating is worthless because they're based on experience.
Does it always work? I had issues with encrypted filesystems that would stay mounted after the device itself disconnected and required a forced unmount before I could use them again.
I agree, and the docs got better too. In 3.7, asyncio is usable for people that don't understand it very well.

Before that, you had to learn the whole thing brick by brick before being able to do something serious.

Yet, there is a missing piece I'm hoping we'll see in 3.8: a way to limit the scope of `asyncio.ensure_future()`.

Indeed, right now either you `await` to get a sequential execution , or you call `asyncio.ensure_future()` to get a concurrent one. The later, unfortunatly, is the equivalent of a GOTO, and worse, it can contain a GOTO itself (see https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-g...).

So the best practice is to use `asyncio.gather()` to delimitate the pyramid of the task life cycle. Unfortunatly few people kow this, and hence do it. Plus it is not fun to do, it's boring boilerplate, something Python usually frees you of.

Yuri is thinking about how to implement the trio solution (the infamous nursery) in uvloop, and if he does, we usually get the feature ported to the stdlib a year later.

Meanwhile, I noted that a simple wrapper does meet the Pareto requirement: https://github.com/Tygs/ayo/

You can see it's not really hard to write your own version of it if you need to. It helped me a lot: the code is easier to reason about, and you remove a lot of edge cases.

I'll have to test Janus, it seems super nice.
I have used rust but I think it has another year before it really shines. 2020 is the year of Rust - async/await, tool ecosystem, various crate stability, etc is happening fast.

Can someone tell me why this is the case? Beyond simply not having a package manager to do dependency resolution. You lose most of the benefits of shared libraries if you do this.

This is probably why dynamic linking appears to be decidedly a second-class citizen with Rust and co.
This and the thread that follows are conspicuous for the fact that the group being discussed is never defined. 'Social activists'. 'These people'. It's a good discipline to argue against actual people and their beliefs, not a vague phantasm of them. Your argument - to associate the words of one unnamed person with an large and multifarious politics - is equally unhelpful.
It makes a lot of sense, actually, because you probably have Qt installed and loaded already. The norm is to link to this system wide installation, so you don't count it as part of the application. On the other hand, the norm seems to be to ship a fresh copy of Electron with every app, and even if you have a system-wide Electron, it gets loaded anew for every app.

The article doesn't even say this.

The story is that a group was pushing for the creation of an emoji.

They wanted underwear with a droplet symbol on it, but Unicode only approved a blood droplet.

Of course it can be used for other things and that's what the quote from that group said, expressing their disappointment.

I'm confused as to why most the comments here seem to outraged about activists trying to own the emoji when that wasn't mentioned at all in the article and sounds ridiculous.

Cooperative multi-tasking if terrible is you don't have control over what the others are doing, but in your program you generally do.

It also have the benefit of making concurrent access much easier to reason about without having to resort to message passing or immutability, yet locks are rarely necessary.

As usual, it's a trade off.
This is an old joke, but a good one. Modern emacs has full colour graphics,a window manager, a decent browser, evil makes editing possible for people with ten fingers or less...

I (and many others) have been thinking about a system that boots to Emacs. With the guile backend we might get enough speed to make it tolerable fulltime.

The only thing missing (and I bet somebody has done this too) is a way to run graphical ELF binaries with an embedded X/Wayland type thing.

No.

A) Emojis are better ideographs than CJK characters, not poorer ones. This is a horse, recognisably: [imagine the horse emoji here... :-) ]. This not so much in my view: 馬.

B) Nobody is proposing to replace all words with hackneyed emojis. (“Although” sort of sounds like “old owl”, so let’s replace it by an owl with gray hair, maybe sitting on top of a mouth so we can disambiguate it from a reference to an owl.)

C) The notion that CJK characters represent ideas, not words & sounds, (embedded in the term “ideograph”) has been extensively criticised, eg by John DeFrancis in his The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy.

Anyone know of a service that will summarize a batch of different news letters for you? Say you subscribe to 30 newsletters, but a lot of them contain fluff, legal & disclaimer, ads, etc - but you only want a summary of the good content sent to you on say a Sunday.

I would imagine the interface being a list of newsletters, with a drop down to say how much of the content you would like, an option for what time and what day you wish to recieve the summary and then the actual email to just be the summary with a single link to the full newsletter underneath.

Does something like this exist? My google-fu is returning nothing.
Elon Musk's “Loop” – It's Bad, Folks
There's a new async/await syntax coming, which will make working with network-heavy code much more pleasant.

Currently, it's ready in the sense you can write robust, high-performance network code. It's still easier than in C or C++, but it's not noob-friendly compared to Node.js or Go yet.
Code based on Futures uses owned closures a lot, so you need to "get" ownership in order not to fight the compiler.

With the async/await syntax, the compiler will be able to relax some of the memory ownership restrictions, and you'll be able to write "normal" code instead of chains of callbacks.

I don't think the two organisations 'pushing' these - the UK national health service and a humanitarian organisation - expect that the emojis will or should be used solely to represent menstruation. But they will make that a possibility for the first time. And the likelihood is that that will be their dominant use. By doing so, they hope to make talking about menstruation more normal.

Your comment has almost nothing to do with the actual article. It reads like pure reaction: you don't like feminism, so you don't like this.
I think it would be better to ship the Qt DLLs with the app for compatibility reasons. The issue with Electron is not the size of the bundle on disk, but the size of the application in memory.
