There's no "better" alternative really - if Facebook censors content - which it absolutely does and which it will be forced to do by politicians even if they didn't want to - then Facebook is also responsible for these censorship decisions. Making a sock puppet to deflect responsibility is a transparent move that is not going to fool anybody. It makes situation slightly worse as it insults the intelligence of the community by implying this transparent trick could work, but otherwise everything stays the same.

In theory, Facebook could figure out a way to have truly independent panel of experts than are non-partisan and aren't beholden to Facebook in any way, but I have no idea how they could do it in practice, and even if they did, it'd backfire on them very quickly as soon as that panel would make a decision that some activist group wouldn't like, as those activists would surely target Facebook and Facebook would have a choice to either annihilate the credibility of the panel by ignoring its decision or face the wrath of activists which the Facebook have proven many times in the past they can't withstand and will have to cave anyway.

So I really don't see any positive outcome here. Once you're in the censorship game, you're in the censorship game, with all that involves.
The alternative is "radio" which is even weirder

While it may be beneficial if the police decide you’re a suspect, on the other hand it would also seem to ensure that they will view you as a suspect and investigate the hell out of you. Perhaps they do this with spouses anyway, but it still seems like you’d be drawing extra suspicion. It’s a tough one.

I also imagine it’s very difficult to make a decision like this when distraught. I‘m pretty sure I’d (perhaps
foolishly) only be thinking about finding my spouse, not the legal implications for myself. It seems like this would be the case for the vast majority of people in that situation.

Just because that's an option doesn't mean that the ad you saw used it. Advertisers might get a better rate with a wider net; everyone in that audience has done at least a little bit of research, and might be less willing to switch than a random male would be to start using any medication at all.
Why do you think that their cooperation must be required before they will cooperate? Police are major Amazon customers as well, what's to keep them from handing over data to preserve their good-will?
> Otherwise various efforts making use of containers, lightweight virtualization, and binary wrappers for the purposes of introducing new options to companies allowing them reasonable backward compatibility for the various applications that have become entrenched in their organizations will be the only way to break away from the stagnation of the current paradigm of enterprise operating system development.

That was essentially what MS did with "Windows on Windows" that brought 16-bit applications over to Win32. And Apple with Rosetta, the blue box, etc. These were hugely expensive because they had to track down all the unwritten interfaces applications use.

If Linux standardizes virtualization for enterprise support, applications should run in it all the time, so it's impossible for them to access any private interfaces.

And it's sustainable because when enterprises find they're stuck with these closed source applications, they'll have a direct interest in supporting maintenance of the older virtualization.
So... you're saying they're probably bad at their jobs? Got it.
> OS Application Binary Interface (ABI) release inter-compatibility is the cancer killing the modern operating system.

I think that's only true perspective of an OS developer:

ABI inter-compatibility (e.g. the Windows and Linux model) prioritizes customer experience. Customers hate it when their applications stop working, and application developers don't want to spend lots of effort to track platform API changes just to avoid breakage.

Abandoning ABI inter-compatibility (OpenBSD, Apple) prioritizes platform developer experience. They want to be able to freely make API changes and don't want to spend time maintaining old APIs that they could use to work on new APIs.

I think the problem with the latter is, while there may be a few hundred developers working on a particular OS, there's are orders of magnitude more customers and application developers. Totally abandoning ABI inter-compatibility seems like putting the interests of the very few over the interests of the very many.
Also, I would like to mention that Islam is about as far-right as it gets.

Neumann’s Vortex: WeWork’s Vicious Cycle
The frustrating bit to me is when they bought up Creature House Expression (A Vector art application) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creature_House_Expression rebadged it as a Microsoft product and then killed it. It was a really great vector tool in it's time. Buying up software companies and then killing the software is a problem we rarely talk about. AutoDesk has also done this with Softimage XSI, which, ironically Microsoft used to own as well.
That's fair. Her comments about her country of origin include "patriarchal BS at the workplace", which is gender-specific, but her complaints about the US were "the jobs suck, the environments suck and people are assholes at these jobs". The first two may (or may not) be felt more strongly by women in the same circumstances. The last one may (or may not) actually be different for women. But you'd have to ask both men and women to find out.

Agreed. They've adopted the addictive UX patterns of other applications, which is irresponsible for an investment platform. It encourages gambling and making poor trading choices.

Push notifications are a prime example of this. They encourage users to act on short term news rather company fundamentals, which is a dangerous mindset for novice investors. Fortunately for them they've been operating solely during favorable market conditions but when the market does crash I fully expect them to face backlash.
In this case, onClickOutside was probably a function that you defined inline in your parent component, which would actually be a new thing on each render.

(Something like <Blabla onClickOutsite={() => doSomething()} />)

Since a function is an object, and objects get compared by reference, a new function that does the same thing is not equal to the old function. Thus, this is a change.

Negating it turns that into a boolean, which gets compared by value. false is the same as false, so no change. Any type coercion (e.g turning it into a string) would've worked.

In this case, there's nothing specific to React or hooks, just plain old JS comparison.

I couldn't agree more. To add: at a few (crappy) jobs in the past, we were notified about an EAP (Employee Assistance Program), which seemed to amount to a phone number you could call for a few 30-minute conversations with someone about mental health issues, drug use, interpersonal issues at work, etc. Some of the phone numbers for the EAP were on little paper pull-offs near the punch-in clock. I don't think anyone used this system. I think it's pretty obvious why.
It’s an experiment to explore a distributed Twitter. People read way too much into those tweets. It seems clear that they will evaluate existing projects, and technologies and make their own decisions.

This post is about i386 / x86_32. What you're referring to is "x32," a different thing entirely, which uses the x86-64 instruction set. You can tell this post is not about "x32" because it talks about "segments, gates, and
other delights from the i386 era," which don't exist on the x86-64 architecture regardless of how long your pointers are, and it says things are "fine on a 64-bit kernel" (x32 uses a 64-bit kernel, it's a userspace ABI only).
It's not quite like that. The three main commercial providers which have their own data are Google, TomTom and HERE(which Microsoft uses). TomTom and HERE would be more than happy to sell it to you for a fee - it's their main source of revenue.

The data TomTom and HERE have is focused on navigation use cases - it doesn't have so much 'visual' stuff as OSM but has has large quantities of information that is only relevant for car navigation, e.g. historical traffic patterns and lane assignments.

When traditional line-numbered BASIC was developed, those "impractical paradigms" were very practical, as FORTRAN had yet to get functions and its program flow was based on GOTOs as well. Structured Programming seems so obvious to us today that it was hard to understand that it had to be invented, just like object-orientation was later.
The way I see it, VMs already encapsulate this. App --ABI--> VM'd Kernel -> Hypervisor API.

But we can do this much more efficiently. IIRC, Prior variants of this were called "personalities". I think the term's been reused now.

I think we could have the program loader consume the loaded program and act as an API proxy between it and the actual kernel.

Can you expand on how index ETFs are a bubble? You say that there's wide consensus, but when I researched it the consensus seemed to be that indexing was the right strategy for most people (and even sophisticated investors like Warren Buffett have instructed his trusts to use an indexing approach).

Beating the index is a zero-sum game, for every winner there must be a loser. Of course you can make educated choices based on the fundamentals but the same is true for sports betting too. Unlike sports betting, you are directly competing against a large number of pretty smart people who play this zero-sum game as a full time job. And some of them even have inside information.

Not that it's impossible to win of course. I can easily imagine someone with deep expertise in a certain area having a key insight about a specific company that others don't, or someone who analyzes company balance sheets and business fundamentals to come up with an independent valuation being above-average at that. It's hard to imagine that either of these groups represent the average person who will trade fractional shares on Robin Hood though.

I was not criticizing your decision, simply trying to offer a differing viewpoint. I briefly considered doing something similar to the path you are traveling down, but realized that I was happier taking a different path.

I provided those links because I thought they were relevant and useful to the reader at the time. I can't fight time and I can't fight entropy for all of the web or even just my own tiny corner. I salute you for trying. I set my border at the end of domain names that I control, because I know I have responsibilities there and I'm able to also in good conscious end them there, otherwise I'd feel so much guilt for how the web has shifted and changed in > 20 years of posting webpages to it.

My blog captures moments in time, and just as I don't go back and fix rotten opinions that haven't aged well in some of them, I generally don't go back and fix broken links. I would hope that anyone exploring my past archives would give past me the benefit of the doubt and contemplate such archives from the context in which they were written and the very different person that wrote them and sometimes the very different web that they were posted to.

> I think that in formative years, children should not be gender segregated, but when rubber hits the road at specialized and advanced education, it’s better if there is gender segregation because there is so much competition and rivalary between genders when both are at peak reproductive phase.

That's probably the right general idea, but I think you have the time frame wrong. Separate classes starting around 5th grade (10 years old), joining back after high school.

I base this on brain development stages. After several years of childhood, your brain starts reorganizing itself. It prunes a bunch of connections, and strengthens others. This processes takes several years. It generally starts earlier in girls, around 10 or 11 years old, and later, around 15, in boys.

So starting around age 10 or 11, we have boys and girls of the same age at significantly different stages of brain development, which I suspect means that teaching methods that are best for the boys aren't best for the girls, and vice versa. Hence, separate classes would be better.

Once it starts in boys, the initial changes are more rapid than they were in the girls, so boys do catch up although in some areas it does take a long time. So probably no need to separate classes by gender at college or beyond.
Relatedly, Ubuntu no longer builds for i386 as a complete architecture: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2019...

They are still building i386 packages for use on 64-bit kernels, for the sake of precompiled 32-bit software (games etc). That's scenario B from Simon McVittie's reply in this thread, and it sounds like that's not affected.

Probably crisis-level symptoms of clinical depression, anxiety, panic disorder, unresolved trauma/PTSD, perhaps interpersonal issues (aka "I really don't want to go in today and see that person who makes those comments"), those sorts of things. You _could_ write it off as "it's just too stressful", but it wouldn't be entirely accurate IMHO.
>Men didn't like the idea because it is an objectively bad idea in an era where population really mattered.

This is an argument that's rarely if ever been used against allowing women to serve in the military. I think it's the argument that you'd like people to make rather than an argument that people have actually historically made.

More broadly, if you see women primarily as baby machines, then military service should be the least of your worries when it comes to fertility.
Yes, that's what I expect to be the case. I'm just musing over a world built in semantic markup rather than presentational with arbitrary structure.
Consider that nobody breaks into your home/vehicles because it's fun. They do it out of desperation. I'm not alleging any ignorance on your part, it's just not the sort of thing we think about often.

The penalties for these crimes are already extremely severe.

So I fall on the side of, I'd rather change the system proximally to help those who resort to this sort of petty crime for cash so they don't need it, rather than making it easier for cops to put these people back into a system which enslaves and disenfranchises them for generations (leading to more crime), and in so doing gives them an excuse to monitor literally anyone else in your neighborhood without a warrant for any reason.

Some branches of medical research are basic sciences (eg endocrinology), and some are applied sciences (those broadly construed as 'health science', eg dietetics). But the practice of medicine in a clinical setting (healthcare) is both a science and an art (ie a skill learned by practicing it), and I think most would say that the knowledge it requires is scientific but much of the day-to-day work is an art.

So people tend to disagree about where to put medicine. But overall, most major public institutions in the US don't include medicine in STEM:

* US Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics) -- No. (https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2007/spring/art04.pdf)

* US Department of Commerce (Economics and Statistics Administration) -- No. (https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED522129.pdf)

* NSF -- No. "The National Science Foundation is a United States government agency that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering."

To further this point, SGI Indigo II workstations were, what, $40k in mid-90s dollars? And a fully-featured license for something like Wavefront or Alias Power Animator was another $15-30k.
My first point is that you cannot measure the output of a person only by the code, working hours, and coding at home. With experience, you can grow different skills that scale much more than coding - they impact many engineers, many teams. Building right things, building things right have more impact than building things fast. And many of those skills are built by being exposed to real life, connections, taking additional responsibilities.

"they don't have anything _higher priority_ than work" it's too much, man. It is not in the same league with coding at home, it's sacrificing your life for an organisation, shareholders that will never sacrifice their lives for you in return. In fact, they will not even sacrifice potential profit for you, and make you redundant despite your commitment.
These comments are wild and the headline is not great. I know this is a contentious issue and that people like to armchair philosophize about stuff like this, but I think the study conclusions warrant a lot of critical attention before you say anything about "equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome".

First off: this is one study. No matter where you fall on gender politics, I wouldn't hang anything too seriously on a single paper. Obviously gender discrimination has been a historical cause of the gender STEM gap; so are we saying that we've solved that particular problem? Is there still room to improve? How much room? To me it seems naive to assume the first one without lots of evidence, and this paper is not that.

Second: the regression shown in the article doesn't seem great. For one thing: there's a small cluster of countries with pretty high X values, and pretty low Y values which suggests that they have relatively high leverage over the results and should probably be excluded. If you cover up UAE, Tunisia, Algeria, and Turkey does the regression line make any sense at all? To me it seems way too steep, ie. leverage. (Maybe the authors talk about this in the paper, I can't get behind the paywall). Also my priors would be that there are a number of country- and regional-level effects at work for an issue like this. It would be way more informative if the authors were to perform subgroup regressions by region of the world, cultural factors, ecnomic factors, etc. It's very possible, for example, that these two variables have an opposite correlation within region, education system, etc, but appear to have a negative correlation on aggregate. Simpson's Paradox is real and can cut many ways.

Third: choice of metric. Per the article
"""In this study, the percentage of girls who did excel in science or math was still larger than the number of women who were graduating with STEM degrees. That means there’s something in even the most liberal societies that’s nudging women away from math and science, even when those are their best subjects"""
This could be caused by a lot of things, but this suggests to me that the "Global Gender Gap" metric may not be giving us the whole picture. I think it's real hasty to draw basically any conclusions about eg. the US STEM culture based on this study. When the results suggest a paradox like this, I think it calls for looking at a variety of metrics to see if the same results are borne out repeatedly.

tl;dr there's a lot of research on the gender STEM gap, and a lot of people shooting from the hip in these comments.
