A lot of white Americans have a problem with this, I don't think most are aware that it also impacts Asian Americans. If they were, they'd be behind you 100%. Save a few extreme elements, most of us just have a problem with people being treated unfairly at an individual level because of demographics.
Have you seen this?

Thank you for the follow-up. No, we don't have evidence that they have access to the server logs, or even more, the streams. I guess that an intelligence would compromise one of Zoom's employees, then gaining access without any further evidence. This gives them to possibility to sneak on any Zoom call that is routed to the respective servers.

And indeed, an intelligence could possibly hack your bigbluebutton server. This involves, however, a targeted attack instead. I think this is a different scenario, though.
I don't drink coffee. I prefer to sleep when I need rest. But I trink a lot of water. And as I like it cold I am fetching new once throughout the day. That gets me away from the screen and allows me to talk to peers (who drink coffee).

As zsh is mentioned at various points throughout the article I'll add that zargs¹ is often a great alternative to xargs. Combined with zsh's awesome globbing and filtering functionality it is often far nicer to work with than find.

That wasn't at all the point in my opinion. I'm pretty sure the intent was just to point out the political dysfunction of our system that's basically denying Asian Americans a voice on the issue that can actually impact policy.

I don't think there's much better advice than what the OP has already said: train yourself to wonder if there's a deeper question that the asker might be asking. Ultimately it's a question of humility. I think dismissiveness is often motivated by an assumption that the asker has made a simple rookie thinking error, and that an involved answer isn't worth your time.
major issue I have here is that once you put these turnstiles in they aren't coming back out. then they start scanning for other stuff and there goes your medical privacy.

What is the alternative to agile?

Calling it a to-do list instead of user stories? Not aligning teams on where we are in the to-do list regularly and removing and adding things?

Agile proponents often say "waterfall", but I have no idea how you would go about working waterfall day to day.

Would you just make all your user stories/to-do's on day one and never update them and now you have waterfall?

Having entered the industry long after agile became the new normal, it seems like the whole discussion is either "stand-up sucks" or people discussing variations of what is essentially "Regularly report where you are on the to-do list, often update the teams to-do list", but never "Why not this different paradigm instead".

Maybe I am lacking imagination, but I am not really sure what a serious alternative is here.
Indeed. I'm fairly sure it's not in OBS. Which is why I asked for a link to where it was implemented. Surprisingly I didn't receive one...
Thank you for the input! I agree with your strategy for changing parameters, but for something more error-prone like changing internal logic behind the same parameters, I would still feel the same anxiety doing a non-gradual release.
I don't want to argue. I read what you wrote and genuinely wondered about the working conditions of Chinese laborers in the distant past in the USA.

> 8,000 Chinese focused on building the tunnels while another 3,000 laid track ... The Chinese had seen a pay increase from $31 to $35 per month by Spring 1867, but it fell short of the $40 monthly salaries whites were pulling in ... They were also toiling longer hours, often under dangerous conditions, whipped or restrained if they left to seek employment elsewhere. And unlike whites, the Chinese had to foot the bill for their lodging, food, and tools

> When the strike went down ... "They went to their camp and they sat" ... Crocker, meanwhile, took the step of cutting off all food and supplies to the Chinese laborers, hoping that starvation would force them back to work.

> It did.

( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/150-years-ago-chi... )

I'm not making a comparison between groups. I just think being whipped, restrained, and starved would probably rise above "poor treatment ... which was exceptionally discriminatory" as a description for any reasonable person.

> Denis Kearney, an Irish immigrant ... Responding to high unemployment and a nationwide railroad strike, Kearney in 1877 founded the Workingmen’s Party of California ... the party’s anti-Chinese views were rooted in racism and revulsion at the newcomers’ unfamiliar customs.

> "A bloated aristocracy has sent to China ... for a cheap working slave," Kearney proclaimed in 1878. "It rakes the slums of Asia to find the meanest slave on earth - the Chinese coolie - and imports him here to meet the free American in the labor market

> "These cheap slaves fill every place. Their dress is scant and cheap. Their food is rice from China. They hedge twenty in a room, ten by ten. They are whipped curs, abject in docility, mean, contemptible and obedient in all things."

> The Workingmen’s Party quickly became a force in California and national politics, exerting pressure on Congress and President Chester A. Arthur to act.

> In early 1882, Congress overwhelmingly approved the Chinese Exclusion Act

( https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/08/03... )

Apparently some people at that time thought of the Chinese laborers as "cheap working slave", "the meanest slave on earth", who lived "twenty in a room", "are whipped", etc.

This is just historical context. I know other groups had it terribly as well... I'm not making comparisons.
The problem is that Word is a WYSIWYG editor, so it can’t ignore second spaces. It must affect the layout.

What happens if you're a poor Asian kid in America?
You get screwed over twice! Once for being poor and once again for being Asian and having a racist education system that requires you to meet a higher bar in order to get into the same kinds of universities as other kids.

What happens if you're a rich Black or Latino kid in America?
You Get Two advantages! You get to be raised in a wealthy family and you need to accomplish much less than other kids to be admitted to the same prestigious universities.

Trying to fight inequality from birth with racism is not the right approach.
Thanks for sharing this. Will read. I'm not surprised.

Which Digital Assistant Is Best at Helping You with Your Life?: Siri vs Alexa
A while back (couple years) I started tracking how much coffee I drank, and (roughly) when.

I created a simple Mojolicious webapp, putting data on a SQLite database. I later expanded it to accept/use an "API key" with which I could track my coffee intake, or get how much I drank already and when was my last cup, "simply" by running a simple bash+curl script. The site, instead, displays a neat github-commits-like chart[1] and some recent stats. I have a branch which changes the code to work on Postgres and is deployable on dokku, but I've not yet made the switch to that. I'm still using a mojolicious+sqlite+hypnotoad process running on a cheap VPS.

Since I started tracking my intake, it looks like I drank, on average, 3-4 coffees per day:

sqlite> select (select count(*) from intake)/(select julianday(max(time_t)) - julianday(min(time_t)) from intake);
3.7864677548175

Here in Italy's northern region, the quarantine started region-wide on the 8th of March.

sqlite> select (select count(*) from intake where time_t > "2020-03-08")/(select julianday(max(time_t)) - julianday("2020-03-08") from intake);
4.20309898028925

It looks like I'm drinking a bit more coffee than the usual, but surely nowhere as near as my most intake:

sqlite> select date(time_t) as ymd, count(*) as cnt from intake group by ymd order by cnt desc limit 5;
2018-05-16|11
2018-03-12|10
2018-05-15|10
2018-02-07|9
2019-06-04|9

Hope it helps! :)

Most philosophies get badly diluted and warped after they get placed into a wider audience. A lot of good ideas come from a small group of competent individuals who have experience and think deeply about how they could improve things; but a major reason why so much of the world is still so dysfunctional is because so many people don't think deeply or carefully about what they are doing. So when a good idea comes along, they commit the old mistake of jumping on the bandwagon without deeply imbibing the real reasoning behind it, but that corrupts the idea over time to be a prescriptive cure. So we have fads every few years when the majority of people find out that the old silver bullet didn't work for them, and start looking for a new silver bullet-- and there is always another small group who want to improve things and write a new book with a slightly different take on how to do so.

This seems like a great strategy, thank you for your input! It can indeed be accomplished by AWS Global Accelerator along with application load balancers targeting Lambda functions to route a percentage of traffic.

Fantastic idea but the episode #1 plot sucked. Seriously there's nothing new there. They should go to https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditWritesSeinfeld/ and pick one if the top plots there.
My theory is that people who like these extremely hoppy IPAs have (1) lost their ability to taste more subtle flavors, (2) are performing some kind of signalling to their fellow beer connisseur peers about how much of a beer geek they are.
I actually ran across a YouTube comment the other day that was claiming the bar that comes up below any covid related video was part of their attempts to suppress the truth. I know that poe's law says it might have been sarcasm, but somehow I don't think any of the actions the big tech companies have taken have really done all that much to stop these beliefs.

It might be somewhat the opposite; the classic conspiracy theory meme is that the powers that be are suppressing the truth. It has been well publicised that these sites are cracking down on what these people believe to be the truth, which could easily be taken as evidence that they hold the correct view.

I wish I had some sort of idea of how to prevent this, but as I see it these sorts of actions are possibly worse than doing nothing. The only positive thing I've noticed recently is that YouTube has somewhat mitigated the recommendation algorithm pushing ever-more extreme polarizing content.
I mulled on this comment for a day - your comment saddens me. That said, your ultimate takeaway is sound - do whatever makes you happy, don't rely on others to validate what you should or shouldn't enjoy.

>Please ignore all these experts, all they want is to make you feel special because you drink/eat their stuff.

But if this isn't cynicism for effect and is your true outlook on life I would encourage you to spend some time with any master of something and have them describe in detail to you the things they are seeing in a fellow master doing the same thing.

This <thing> could be anything - sports, music, art, acting, chess, video games...

What you will probably see is the master picking up on all sorts of imperceptible details that seem so subtle that they seem like bullshit. Then try going deep on that same thing, learn it for yourself. Eventually you will reach a stage where you will suddenly discover firsthand how little you know about that skill and how big the world above you is in skill and detail.

Then eventually you will appreciate that this is true for almost every other disciplines and there myriad worlds of hidden detail that you never noticed or appreciated that creators have slaved over. Things that you only notice but can't put your finger on when you compare a pro to an amateur.

Is Monet just dabs on a canvas? Federer just hitting a ball? Is Daigo just a lucky guesser at Street Fighter? Is Mitsuko Uchida just more stuffy and pretentious than your street busker?

Granted, there's a lot of snake oil in food and wine because there's money to be made but don't let that theatre close you off categorically to the world of food (and wine).
Or you do the test yourself, and just show the already-completed test to the guy at the office door, and keep the test hardware, just like you currently show but keep an ID badge.

I too fill in the blanks and expect the same courtesy to be given me. As such I have began to bluntly refuse to participate in discussion with an uncooperative party like what you describe. I can find more constructive things to do with my time and they have no reason to expect otherwise.

Like you say, it's very curious why some people do expect their attitude to be accepted. If it is something they have learned to do, then what can be done to make them unlearn it? My attempts at this have so far clearly been too blunt, probably since I'm no saint and seldom suppress my irritation at their intellectual dishonesty faster than thinking of a scathing way to confront them...
It’s not so much the vinegar as it is the acetobacter bacteria that could quickly spoil the next beer to go into it. Brewers typically keep inoculated containers separate from non-inoculated containers to prevent unwanted souring or, in this case, vinegar.
>It's not fair competition if one of your competitors can view all of your sales and related metadata while you can't view any of theirs.

Why not?

I can get a pretty good idea of my competitors sales figures just by reading their accounts if they are public companies. I can get a good estimate of the sales if they use amazon by using reviews as a proxy for sales numbers. Amazon are doing nothing that retailers have not done for 100s of years. Walmart were pulling the same thing when amazing was a twinkle in Jeff B's eye.

Also, sorry to be a dick but... "fair" is a very hard arguement for you to make.

Fair is entirely subjective. And fair isn't actually what markets are about (markets are meant to be efficient companies are meant to be profitable, industries are meant to be productive). If you think this behaviour is a bad thing, you sort of have to explain why it's harming innovation or making markets inefficient or some other way it hurts consumers. Companies aren't people, and even people don't have to be "fair"...

Personally, as I said above, companies already have a lot (maybe too much) control of interlectual property. If you are inovating, you have nothing to fear from people copying you. If you're not inovating then you don't get a monopoly just because you really really like making easy profits and gouging consumers.

I wouldn't use a spreadsheet. While I clicked 'How was this calculated?', I realised I didn't care.

Your mistake is thinking the purpose of the app is to give the user the perfect objective recommendation. For most decisions, you just want some kind of psychological justification - for some people that can even be a coin flip.

I'm weirded out by this binary thinking arguing against masks or testing. It's like the people who say that helmets don't prevent all injuries, which they conclude means one shouldn't be wearing one.

Asians are being punished by identity politics for being smart and hard working.

If they were less smart and lazier and had less individual achievements, the diversocrats running the US politics and media wouldn't raise barriers against them.

Trying to combat discrimination, US is much more discriminating and racist and sexist than it was years ago.

There's a lot of prejudice against certain races and against certain genders.
Many Asians look up to the Jews and see them as an example. The Jews had been discriminated for centuries through out the world, and are one of the most successful minorities.

I’m not really sure what objective you’re after. Obviously Chinese workers were treated badly. All working class workers were treated badly, including ‘white’ people like the Irish or Polish. I already said this, so stop stoking this conversation for absolutely zero reason.

The point is that being an abused lower class worker is not the same thing as being an actual piece of property, which is what black slaves were. This is not even remotely controversial among historians.

I think you have it the wrong way around. It's a browser containing an integration with a cryptocurrency wallet, not the other way around. You'd still be able to use it as a normal browser if you ignore the cryptocurrency stuff.
As a counterpoint, Clojure is considerably more permissive because it is dynamically typed:

CLJS has some warts due to the compiled JS being hard to understand (use source-maps) and the Clojure error messages being bad is now a meme but if you've not dealt with a Hindley Milner type system before, Clojure can help you learn some of the other basic FP concepts in a more gentle way.

I think it comes down to what you want to learn from FP and where you're coming from:

If you want to just "build stuff" and make it "more functional" ie using lots of data/values and passing around functions maybe go with Clojure.

If you're interested in how static types can make things easier to build more robust things but you only want to dip your toes into FP go with OCaml/Reason

If you want to see what it means to program 100% pure and have no side-effects (and you're willing to invest in learning and delaying instantly "shipping" something) go with Haskell/Purescript
