But these are different concepts. The bias of racism is one of erroneously assuming a person's capability based on something which has nothing to do with their actual capability. On the other hand, "emphasizing race" in a story can be used to point out the opposite of the above bias, in order to counter it.

If you've grown up all your life hearing the first bias, you may believe it. And then suddenly you see a story that refutes that bias, and you realize that actually, maybe the bias was wrong. Maybe it shouldn't be weird that this certain kind of person can do this certain kind of thing. It can take a lot of examples over a long period of time, but it works.

Countering the bias requires examples, and you have to actually publish those examples. If you never have stories that counter the bias, people literally just keep believing the bias. If in the 18th century nobody had ever put out stories about freedmen starting businesses, nobody would have believed that a freedman was capable of doing business. They needed those stories published just to change how people thought. That's the purpose of "black man becomes beekeeper" stories - to change perceptions, a little bit at a time.

That kind of story is useless if it's about something that everybody already knows and believes, but it's incredibly valuable if it fights a bias. This is the reason you don't see "white man becomes beekeeper" stories - we already know white people can be beekeepers. We don't all know the opposite. (If this sounds dumb, yes, I agree... but that's literally the kind of bias many people have, and this is how to counter it)

Ask HN: How to Implement Search/Filtering?
- GET vs POST?
- how to construct complex url queries?

I'd like to use json-api, but https://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-filtering is not much of help.

I like this answer - https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/233181/343294, where author references something like this - 'https://www.google.com/search?q=skeleton&tbas=0&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:l,ic:gray,itp:face,qdr:w,imgo:1'

Where can I learn more about these 'structures'?
Do you have experience implementing something like this?
Do you have experience of doing it both with POST and GET? which one do you think works better?

I err on the side of GET with more RESTful approach. I'd like to be able to bookmark easily. I doubt things I'm gonna need to search are going to be that complex, but they aren't gonna be totally trivial.

Would it be possible to make use of facets, use elastic-search on the backend, and yet be able to code all of it in url?

Thank you.
I'd worry less about fatcat executives than about success. Fighting homelessness is hard, and the problems are rarely about what most people think they are.

Perhaps the most important thing Bezos could bring (aside, of course, from money) is a sense for finding people who know things. That's the true talent of a great CEO, being able to assess sincerity, intelligence, creativity, and the ability to manage people. Writing hundreds of pages of grant proposals is probably less effective than being able to tell a good story, which contains the crucial hints about how you assess what's important, how well you communicate, and how you think about the people you'll need.

There's a good chance many -- perhaps most -- of these will fail anyway. Homelessness will remain hard. But it could well end up being very cost-effective to let creative and industrious people try things, even if some fail. That's very Silicon Valley, at least in myth. I have no idea how much of that myth is real and how much was just lucky executives in the right place at the right time.
You'll frequently see people that make $1,000 a day complaining that software that saves them lots of time costs $100.
"The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is one of the world’s premier fighter jets, thanks to its unique combination of stealth, speed, agility, and situational awareness."

A huge understatement. It's the only true 5th gen that's tailored for performance, rather than cost savings (ala the F-35). The others are completely unproven (Chinese) or both unproven and in extremely limited quantities, while not providing true stealth (PAK FA, though if anything, the SU-35 family is the closer analogue).

I was thinking more along the lines of removing features to simplify maintenance, Gnome 3 style.

"Good news, General. We've found a way to lower maintenance costs in the cockpit systems by 10% if we removed this thing here on the blueprints, so we've already gone ahead with that change."

"But that's the emergency ejection system!"

"Yes, and our data indicates that it's almost never used. It doesn't really make sense to devote manpower to keeping a system running that few people ever need. If we get rid of it, we can free up developer-hours to making the canopy opening/closing action a little smoother. Everyone uses the canopy."

What I find quite interesting is that there are numerous high-profile politicians and media figures, along with vast numbers of trolls, who deny that climate change exists, and block meaningful action to control it.

At what point do we learn the lesson that’s deeply embedded in our collective consciousness (Noah’s Ark, the ant and the grasshopper) and decide that modern states are not capable of dealing with the problem, assuming that climate change is going to result in serious disruption, and look to make contingency plans for ourselves and our families?
> The Chinese people do not see risking growth disruption as worth what the west considers freedom.

Joel Garreau once said (IIRC) "To not have the problems of your parents is to not have problems." If you grew up worried about hunger, and now you have enough to eat, life is good. Political freedom? Might be nice, but not a big problem.

For the next generation, though, who grew up with enough food to eat...

Ouch. But it hurts because it's true. I'm hoping it's only temporary, but yeah, the west at the moment is not exactly a shining advertisement for how great democracy is...

They later talk about agile vs waterfall as well as devops. It doesn't read like this is going on a plane, probably just dev and test environments.
You say it like that and it sounds bad, but you say it like "Microsoft offers a discount if you bundle cloud and license spending" and it sounds pretty fair to me.

It seems like your argument works in reverse. Selective breeding-- who knows what changes you're making to the underlying food. When I taste a "cotton candy grape", there's likely a whole lot of chemical difference from a normal grape, in mostly-unknown-ways.

Their efficacy depends on your learning style. I personally get bored pretty easily with lecture-style learning, even through an online course. I need more experiential learning. So with cybersecurity I’m picking it up through:

- Study guides and practice exams for certificates (that I may or may not get). This is probably the critical thing I do because it sets a track of what kind of material I should be focusing on for the subseqent learning tools.

- Anki/spaced-repetition to remember things like acronyms

- Quick YouTube talks (specifically those not in a webinar format; usually bad production quality and a lot of padding not related to the topic)

- Games to put theory into practice (CTFs, bug bounties, video games that are very abstracted from real hacking but still require exercising logic)

- Podcasts that look at the industry from different perspectives. Currently listen to CyberWork, which has a lot of fluff but I offset that with Darknet Diaries which does a great job of storytelling.

- Trying to explain these concepts in layman's terms to others
At a certain size, corporate roadmaps and people management are inevitably political. Google modifying their search criteria to participate in China's market.. is political. Google's HR department working towards demographic goals.. is political (I'm not judging its political-ness, but it ended up being political, didn't it?).

Each of the major FAAMG companies has a political/dominance issue of some kind, one that comes to mind more immediately than all the political issues associated with those companies. Taking a swag at it:

* Facebook: privacy - exploitation (personal data exploitation)

* Amazon: automation

* Apple: privacy - enforced (withholding from gov't)

* Microsoft: [I'm not even sure, they're flying low.. perhaps monopolization, or government backdoors?]

* Google: politicization/curation

I would suggest that Google's the clearest "ideation" company here, where censorship/curation is the most core part of their business model (Facebook is social media, Google is a borg-like machine collection all of the Internet and then putting algorithms around access to it), and most prone to politicization crossing the internal/external cultural barrier.

> He's a judge. He gets elected.

I kinda find that more horrifying, really. It introduces a whole bunch of perverse incentives to the system. (Doubly so in the localities that don't require any legal experience, degree, or certification to be elected as a judge.)

More than likely this wouldn't even hit their firewall. BGP misconfigurations generally occur on the router(s), in front of their firewalls, that connect to the upstream providers. Packets come in one connection and go out the other because you're now the shortest path from A to B.
Kind of. Basically no academics care what the literal name or publisher of the journal are. What matters is that Journal X and Y are at the top of the field, so they attract the best papers and the best editorial staff and can pull the best reviewers.

In theory, if everyone decided that starting January 1, 2021 all the previous academic effort devoted to Journal X could be instead turned to Open Science Journal Not-X, the impact on scientific endeavor would be essentially zero.

But getting everyone on board for that is a difficult task. Most faculty have no direct involvement in the allocation of subscription fees, so they don't really experience much cost (only that of emailing the occasional paywalled PDF to a less-well-placed colleague). It's easier to just keep on doing what we've been doing.
what the hell is DevSecOps?

I've been doing network security for twenty years, so I know what that is, this just sounds like some marketing and sales people started mashing buzzwords together.
Somewhat related: a while ago realized that the SVGs that draw.io generates (exports) have an interesting property. If you include an SVG inside such a drawing and you export it to SVG, that SVG is actually embedded as base64. This is unfortunately not supported by some programs (e.g., Microsoft Office). A quick fix is to actually expand the SVG into the big SVG. I wrote a quick tool for this that does this for you (I should consider open sourcing this maybe).
Anyway, I bet doing this and then minimizing the SVG could result in more savings?
does this for loop make me happy?

Don't mind the comments. People here like to pose as "I'm a super senior dev and this is just a learning project, what's the value?".

The value is you've learned something and you're willing to put yourself out there showing a way to do it, and that's awesome.

Not "the" way, since this sort of thing does nobody any favours (except for the aforementioned holier-than-thou oooh-i'm-so-senior devs with a LOT of insecurity), but a very valid way nevertheless.
Where is your evidence to back up your assertion that the linked Twitter post is "fake news"?

What.
That is exactly what weather simulations do. Same most other kinds of hydrodynamic simulations (simulation of gas or fluid flows).

The thing is: you need the state at t-1 of all your neighbors. Then you can do a small timestep to get from t-1 to time t. And then you need the NEW state of your neighbors. That requires a fast interconnect. Which HPC machines have, unlike most clouds or commodity clusters.

In other words, yes it is parallelizable, but not trivially so, because the different grid points are coupled.

The test is a bit more involved than a normal driving test. A normal test just involves reading street signs and how to handle things like right of way, don't pass on the right, use your blinker, basic important topics. CDL tests ask questions about maintenance (how often to inspect tires?), about how big trucks move on the road compared to little cars (which kind of truck could get stuck on a RR crossing?), and misc stuff like hazmat diamonds. It's not the hardest test in the world but it's more studying than a normal DL test.
Agreed, and there's a related point too: These days, strangely, ideas are getting harder to find and research productivity is poor. There was a neat discussion of this a few years ago [0], and here's the paper [1].

it seems you're not considering the effects that the climate crisis is expected to have on the conditions that our food production infrastructure is based upon.

I don't think you can realistically expect anybody in the world, of any political ideology, to not use something that is GPL/BSD/LGPL/Apache/whatever licensed, if you've published the source code to the Internet.

I would be entirely unsurprised to find north korean telecoms/state government agencies using centos or debian. In fact if you google "north korea linux" you'll find that they already created their own weird custom GUI desktop distribution.

In the bigger picture, far more people use your code, whatever it is, to do useful and good things in random places in the world than people using it for purposes you find objectionable.

> Also, not sure what huge risk you are talking about here besides licensing pricing?

The many business risks of being 100% tied down to a single provider (Microsoft). Licensing is one, but also what would happen if Microsoft decided to kill off a service that your product depends on? You'd have to invest in finding an alternative and rewriting your software. Or what if Microsoft sells that service to another company which is actually directly competing with you, and then decides to stop providing third party access, or looks at your usage metrics/data to gain a competitive advantage over you. Or maybe Microsoft gets an incompetent CEO which drives the company to bankruptcy, and Windows and all their services you depend on are sold to hundreds of different companies which you now need to deal with.

Building your software on Linux or BSD means you don't have to worry about any of that since you own everything. It's like you're getting vertical integration for free. It's a no-brainer.
I don't see that much.

But I do see people making $1,000 a day complaining that everyone wants to upsell you into $20/mo SAAS offering with a bunch of crap you don't need, rather than sell you the thing you need.

For something you rely on, easy decision. For occasional use though? Often not worth it.
During an "enablement session" really? This is a sales jargon AFAIK, the developer-unfriendly term for "hands-on training". Such jargon shouldn't be used in agile.

I'm a little bit surprised to see this.

One thing I've observed working on many different types of software projects is that there exists a continuum between waterfall and agile/scrum, and one way of thinking of it is what the length of the sprint is. Waterfall is a single sprint the length of the product, spiral development is several sprints over the length of the product, and agile/scrum is sprints of a couple of weeks to a month.

The length of the sprint is simply the length of the planning cycle. What I've observed is that systems with certain characteristics, such as safety critical systems or systems that involve hardware that doesn't yet exist or is expensive or time consuming to test typically don't work with an agile/scrum planning cycle. If you want to deliver them in a reasonable time, complex and parallel requirements mean that you must plan things far in advance so that everyone is ready at the same time.
In the chemistry / molecular biology community, that is definitely part of the role played by a journal like Cell. It is considered a very prestigious journal and tends to publish only what the editors and reviewers perceive to be very important findings. Of course, we (scientists) are imperfect reviewers and sometimes don't see the value in great work and likewise sometimes imagine greatness in mediocre work. Editors also feel pressure to select work that they believe will be rapidly and frequently cited---as the number of citations per paper in the first two years after publication affects the impact factor of the journal.

Unlike math and physics, many disciplines have only recently adopted preprint servers (like bioRxiv) and there's still some bias against posting preprints within the community.
