It is generally true that systems like school funding are racist in outcome but not design - but there are a surprising number of instances where the design actually is created with that intent. Most commonly seen these days with a rich white suburb deciding to incorporate their own school district so they can stop having nearby black kids attend - usually they can skate by with some platitudes about local control but when actually on a witness stand it doesn't hold up. https://www.vox.com/2019/9/6/20853091/school-secession-racia...
I think the jury is still out whether asking technical questions (Is that code for whiteboard interviews?) is really a good idea. Seems Samsungs interview process is just different (probably also bad. All interviewing seems to be bad).
It is painful to use Windows on my surface as a tablet, since I want the physical keyboard layout to be dvorak and the osk layout to be qwerty (because I've never really seen the dvorak layout). Microsoft obviously has no interest in making it accessible to dvorak users.

I think the dvorak equivalent of an osk is something more like MessageEase. If they would bother to update their Windows offering to something a little more recent (high dpi instead of scaling etc) it would be nice tho
You are confusing regulation that protects the oligarchy, throwing spanners in the wheels of potential independent competitors, with regulation that effectively protects the health and safety of the people.

The US might have the former, but when Europeans refer to a lack of regulation in the US they mean the latter.
This is cool stuff. But could someone explain how this is a self-rewriting README? It looks to me like a file updated by a commit hook.
iCab is my main browser on iOS, I love the configurability and the plethora of features. Safari has caught up quite a bit, but iCab is still the best IMHO.

GitX is a chrome extension that allows you to add notes/comments/ideas/thoughts in issue/PR pages and these are only visible to project collaborators and not any other users. This helps actual maintainers of the project to communicate with each other in GitHub itself and not use any other communication channel.

A couple of months back, we open-sourced the project Chatwoot (https://www.chatwoot.com/), we received lots of contributions from all over the world. This was the first time we got a chance to maintain an OSS project with lots of collaborators and we realized that it is a challenge to maintain an OSS project. As many had started raising issues and PR there were some concerns within the internal team. If any new PR/issue was raised, we needed to sit together and discuss using a separate communication tool(Telegram/Zoom/Slack, etc). Then we thought of using GitHub for private communication among the internal team and the idea for GitX was born.

The project is in the beta stage and code is fully open-sourced (https://github.com/gitxapp/gitx). All kinds of contributions are welcome. Please do check out and give us some feedback. GitX is completely free ;)
New York and New Jersey have gone past recommending masks, and have mandated them for anyone out in public, along with limiting the number of people allowed to go into a store, and a 6ft distance in any line/queue.
I get the impression that you're blaming flaws in the implementation of std::atomic on the processor.

Memory reads using MOV are not atomic. That's not as bad as you make it sound. Instructions that are prefixed with LOCK (or implicitly LOCKed) are always atomic on misaligned data as per the last paragraph you quoted. This paragraph is weaseling around as this feature technically depends on external bus management that is implemented on the mainboard and outside the scope of the processor manual. But third party chipsets are dead. The same is repeated explicitly in the description of the LOCK prefix (Volume 2A, chapter 3):

> The integrity of the LOCK prefix is not affected by the alignment of the memory field. Memory locking is observed
for arbitrarily misaligned fields.

As for the example code that you posted: I postulate that at least GCC is essentially broken and violates the guarantees given in their own manual and the C++ standard. The following example demonstrates this:

#define UNSAFE

template<typename valueType>
class MyAtomic {
public:
valueType load()
{
#ifdef UNSAFE
return __atomic_load_n(&value, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
#else
valueType temp = 0;
__atomic_compare_exchange_n (&value, &temp, temp, false, __ATOMIC_RELAXED, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
return temp;
#endif
}

void store(valueType newValue)
{
#ifdef UNSAFE
__atomic_store_n(&value, newValue, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
#else
__atomic_exchange_n(&value, newValue, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
#endif
}

private:
valueType value;
};

The UNSAFE version compiles to simple mov instructions. This is not correct as there is no alignment guarantee for value. Using LOCK CMPXCHG and XCHG for the read and write is possible and safe. This is the code you get when undefining UNSAFE.
From the Commodore PET wikipedia page: "A series of problems meant that production versions did not begin to arrive until December 1977, by which time the TRS-80 and Apple II had already begun deliveries."

As far as I could ever tell, nobody had these older Commodores, well maybe some schools. IIRC I only saw one years later when they were already retro. Although one could justifiably say there were retro the year of release, looking like they were from some 60's sci-fi movie.

I'm surprised to see how much cheaper they were than the Apple ][ according to wikipedia, although I shouldn't be. A school paper I did in 1994 was to compare and contrast the different computers my family considered before buying a //e that summer. It was only then that I realized how unaffordable the Apple computers were in comparison to everything else, especially the Commodore 64. I couldn't find anything justifiable for my paper to justify the choice. Even back then being an Apple fan was more about style and intangibles. And Ultima III.
The problem with retaining is independent of processing information speed.
Texture is area-filling, while silhouette is "just a line", so it sounds natural that texture areas would weigh more in an image? If there is both texture and contour "signal" in the labeled inputs, how to pick what get's weighted more? This is supposed to be learned by training.
This might apply to B2C products where being first to market plays a vital role. Buggy Android being first to market as an alternative to IPhone, gave it a huge boost against the polished windows phone.

After reaching this target, the company would need developers with completely different skillsets, whose importance is seldom written about.

Possibly, though it's a cultural thing, so I don't believe you can simply say "we're switching to a Germany model". The US is very individualistic, Germany is more collectivist. Individualistic cultures are more unequal, have issues with high taxes, government regulations and so on. They are much more flexible, can react to changes and move fast. And, as the Facebook motto goes (or went), sometimes they break things.

As for the claimed anti-nationalism, I fundamentally dislike it because it's a charade from start to finish. When "I want A" becomes amoral, everything gets wrapped in fifty layers of misdirection and rationalization, and finding compromise gets even harder because nobody can admit to what they actually want. It's a pathological trait in individuals, and I don't believe it's healthy on a society level. I'm not saying "that's how it has to be", rather "that's how it is, so let's not pretend it isn't". At the first sign of trouble, it's becoming evident anyhow, but if our arrangements are built on different assumptions, the damage will be much larger.

My coding career started in 1987. For the last 3 years, and for the first time in my career, I've been working on a product that has a team of professional designers, ie proper graphic designers, artists, "empathetic" people, etc.

And for the first time in my career, I've looked at the product and thought "Wtf! that's a thing of beauty ". As a result I'm confident that users will actually, you know, like our product, not just tolerate it.

So, IME, having confidence in what you're producing has a material benefit on the motivation of the developers to get their end of things right too.

Disclaimer: Although EVT is a marked improvement over EventEmitter it can't compete in teme of feature scope with RxJS yet.
There are important operators such as swichMap, mergeMap, debounceTime and others that do not have an equivalent in EVT.
However, EVT has two main things going for it already:
It allows performing filter, map and scan in a single operation which makes the code much less verbose and enables typescript to seamlessly infer what is going on.
It is more accessible, the API is close to EventEmitter which allows getting started quickly and progressively leverage the more advanced features.
Any feedback much appreciated

I'm Korean ethnicity, but Canadian born, my wife is Korean ethnicity and Korean born. We keep talking about whether or not to live in Korea. Korea has seen more rapid economic advancement than any other country in the world. Yeah, I'm saying it beats out China in that regard. I work in China, and while China's progress has been insane, Korea's at a place where China is not yet. So the debate is live in Korea, Canada, or somewhere else (or could just continue working in China, but difficult to call China home, given our backgrounds).

The #1 reason why I wouldn't prefer Korea is because Samsung and other chaebols have too much of a grip on the country. They don't play fair. They don't give other companies even a chance to disrupt them. It's worse than what Microsoft was like in the 90s because at least Microsoft didn't blatantly bribe and corrupt the highest levels of government. They manipulate the stock market extremely maliciously to take out competitors before they can become disruptive. I attended a lecture from a professor at Seoul National University who was an advisor to the government on how to get them to make the stock market more fair and allow companies to grow and achieve success. It was startling to what extent the stock market got manipulated.

Never mind the idea of starting a company and being able to have a great exit. Even if I was just a normal worker, how would my retirement funds be able to grow in that kind of a stock market, even if my employer matched contributions? I'd be dependent on only my bank account savings for retirement, no chance for reinvestment. Or my retirement funds are all tied into the prospects of my employer's stock? Also scary, zero risk diversification.

I think Korea's long-term growth prospects will be severely limited as long as the chaebols have a stranglehold on the economy. I am hopeful by the fact that they let Hanjin go bankrupt. Apparently, everyone in Hanjin was just completely complacent and waiting for the government to bail them out. When they didn't get bailed out, it was a sign that the new government was willing to make some of the hard decisions necessary to allow for a properly entrepreneurial society to thrive.

I would say you're selfish or dumb enough to be moving in a time where people should just stop those behaviors and stay wherever the fuck they are... And this is not even considering you know, GHG and stuff.

But globally this comment is so full of oneself I'm amazed.
Standardized total extracts of natural sources are pretty standard in the pharmacopeia, so what you're saying makes total sense. Making sure that the dosage is standardized is a solved problem.

Unfortunately this type of drug preparation is not that fashionable. One example of this is the total extract of St. John's Wort, which is superior to synthetic antidepressants in many cases, but doctors often prefer to prescribe the latter (presumably because a plant based medicine doesn't sound as powerful?).
Same as in New Zealand (NZ). Plenty of even frequencies here.

Since I work on the D programming language design, I'm interested in any advice you can give on what would make a programming language design more accessible to blind programmers.
This is true. The monopoly IS the root cause. Everything else is just governments and people trying to interpret it in ways that benefit them and trying to fight it off in whatever way they can. If the tech companies want to maintain their monopolies, they will have to pay a social tax in some way or another - one of the good ways I think is to compensate creators very well. That way, they are still helping a lot of local businesses and people and will continue to have a lot of support. If they don't come up with something to generate a lot of goodwill, then governments will force them to pay in other way, and what governments will come up with will be a lot more complex and inefficient.
This was my first reaction, but Tren Griffin pointed out something fairly reasonable; VC funding is very small ($50 billion/year or so compared to the trillions the central government spends, to say nothing of the states).

Your point is reasonable, I think, but the scale is pretty off as it relates to VC funding vs. public spending.
> We can't just assume it won't mutate, or the risk populations identified will remain a static group.

We can't just assume it will mutate.
Be careful thinking about potential cost of bringing a synthesis to market based on Sigma Aldrich catalog prices. SA is a supply house for research chemicals, prioritizing quantity of compounds offered and consistent, specified quality over price. The range of products they offer is insane, even considering the reactivity and instability of some of them.

If your commercialize a compound, you source these starting materials (eg. Bromoindole) directly through manufacturers. You will be able to buy in bulk at 10-1000x lower prices, sometimes. Of course you need to do judicious quality controls yourself, but you likely have the scaling benefits to do.
I'm not talking about a definition. Just that, for example, if one child gets born in a rich country to a rich family and one child to a poor family in a third world country, their starting conditions are unfair. This doesn't help much with a definition of unfair, but I think it's still objective.
Because Trump wasn't president then?
"Astroturf" means "appears grassroots, but isn't". It only implies deception. The amount of money spent or the scale of the operation is not that relevant.
I’m honestly not sure I know what the original motivations for that law is, but I always assumed it’s due to taxation and licensing reasons.

Pretty good, in actuality. Europe got it way worse than the United States.
Is there any pure psilocybin being sold?

My (entirely pop-culture based) impression is that "white powder" and similar processed substances of high purity are the dominant form for almost all drugs. Cocaine isn't sold as leaves, nor can you buy dried poppies.

Marijuana is an exception because it easier to smoke in its more natural state and, let's face it, because its users are hippies beholden to the naturalistic fallacy. But THC and that-other-stuff-I-cant-remember are available as concentrates.

Given these preferences, psilocybin is the outlier where, as far as I can tell, only the raw, natural form is available. Since the taste is so awful it's close to legendary, I think we can exclude market preference as a cause. That leaves the extraction being rather difficult as the most plausible explanation, doesn't it?
Actually I always found it quite difficult to measure.

Mainly because selling B2B the person who clicked the ad is rarely the person who raises an order. I can use a proxy like instigating a download but that is far from perfect.
I once had a car radio which enforced this rule. Wouldn't tune to anything except odd decimals.

And it worked fine in my home city, every single radio station was on an odd frequency.

But I don't live in the US. One day I went on holiday to another city, and in that city and 90% of radio stations were on even frequencies. The poor radio refused to tune into them. You could set it to the neighbouring frequency and get it half tuned in, but it would never lock.

Are the right really in to defining sweeping social policies based on the output of academic models? I can't say I've seen much of that, at least not from deeply conservative types. Middling centrists, yeah. A key part of conservative thought is the notion that the world is large, complex, and you only understand a tiny piece of it. That sort of worldview doesn't mesh well with attempts to simulate a planet inside a desktop PC.
Premiums kill you on the short side, it's true. It's tough being anti-asset.
Blind since birth full stack software developer here. I might not be able to relate to your situation completely but here are some of my experiences:

>Are there blind frontend engineers?

I don't think so. It's not that you can't do frontend at all, just that you can't do it completely. Something like copying the layout from a visual mockup doesn't really work unless someone describes the mockup to you, and even then it might not be 100 % correct, though i'd say your experience as a sighted frontend developer would definitely help there. Thankfully (in this case anyway) SPA's tend to be so complex these days that there is plenty of work to do without touching the actual layout. My frontend work has consisted mostly of refactoring and writing various integrations. Occasionally I've written some complete features where I've laid out a rough version of the UI and someone sighted in the team has finished it off for me. This strategy has worked out relatively well for me in the past. However I'd say doing solo frontend work is sadly a no-go.

> What kinds of software engineering lend themselves to someone with limited vision? Backend only?

Basically anything non-visual works out. Backend, yes, but also the business logic of SPA apps as well as devops work.

> Besides a screen reader, what are some of the best tools for building software with limited vision?

- A good editor which is accessible and has an extensive set of keyboard shortcuts. Visual Studio Code and Eclipse are the two editors that I use in my day to day work.

- Terminal. It's often much quicker to do things like text manipulation, version control and devops administration there, since you don't have to waste so much time going through information that you don't need. I've found git gui's to be particularly useless. Web browsers and editors/ide's are basically the only gui tools that I use.

Feel free to hit me up if I could be of any help.
> My blind friend was doing law, but I'm sure she did something similar to help her map the dependencies between laws.

Nobody calls them dependencies, but yes, you would be able to hear if `Re Estates Croft, deceased [2018] NSWSC 1303` were wrong.

Sounds eerily familiar, especially "People choose what to work on.".

You can't have that for the whole team in the real world. There are tasks which are universally unpleasant. Usually this devolves into one guy (the one who "ships" the most so is favoured by management) picking the best, most "shippable" tasks and the rest getting what's left.

That's because what this philosophy does is it turns what was supposed to be teamwork into some kind of weird competition over who shipped the most.

And contrary to popular belief when people compete instead of working together the outcome is usually worse.

I know one company that implements very similar rules and while they do make good money, they ship unmaintainable crap. Fortunately for them there's a niche for that as well.
