It's funny. We're very similar. I'm also interested in PL (albeit a little less theory-oriented than you). I'm also Asian American. I also didn't get into the schools that I wanted to attend. If you go to Stuyvesant this would be perfect.

I agree that there's something vexing about having this stereotype which can almost dominate or define you. We should certainly fight against being depicted as math/CS loving robots.

However I disagree that this ties into affirmative action. Yes, Asians face discrimination and dehumanization in our lives. But black and hispanic and other people of color face discrimination and dehumanization at such an extreme. Whether that's redlining, discriminatory banking practices or police brutality, there are active forces at play that hurt young people of color and prevent them from getting the best possible education. For instance, the average black family has one tenth the wealth of the average white family^[1].

It's easy to see these policies that are determining resource allocation based on race and not just merit as racial discrimination, but what's important to understand is that the merit part is clouded by racial discrimination of its own. It's just better hidden.

Let me be clear though: this is purely against your affirmative action points. Any potential discrimination against Asians outside of affirmative action is unacceptable.

This is great, except for the writing. But I’d buy it!
I gotcha. Not the right way to think about it. To be clear, you're saying fields are essentially virtual mathematical notions from which emerges actual stuff?

Given the premise that fields are explicitly not consisted of an "invisible jelly", I'll ask what is definitely a "half-assed question" -

How and where _do_ fields "exist"? Where are they in the standard model? Intuition says maybe they reside in spacetime near particles. I have a hunch from QFT that the fields are technically "everywhere" and are merely highly excited into particles when energy transforms the field in certain spots.

I doubt either of my guesses is the right answer but I'm mostly just curious how literally you mean to take the viewpoint that fields are "virtual" in nature.

Since this is a half-assed question, feel free to give a half-assed answer.

You might want to "but, but" reply to someone who blamed it on spellchecks, then. (-:

It's not a confusion, moreover. It's two alternative forms, one with its roots in the French influence on the language, one with its roots in the Greek. British English incorporates both, as I said.
This is the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Attempting to write about a historical event disturbs it. Even so, the metaphysics of history is extremely philosophically interesting. I don't think it matters so much on what day a given event happened or even who was responsible for it. But the economic, cultural, and scientific conditions surrounding the event are critical to understand and relate to our current world.
Thrown under the bus? Asians have by far the highest household income of all racial groups in the US[1]. Where's the beef?

Is it fair to be born into a racial group thats 50% or 25% less likely to earn a degree?[2] Perhaps taking a person's circumstances into consideration, while narrowly and individually unfair, is actually fairer in a broader sense. That goes for race, socio-economic status, and whatever else impairs your opportunities.

It's just disappointing to see the victimization being thrown around here, especially in contrast to the groups being vilified. The sad truth is that a sense of empathy and being able to see the bigger picture will get you a lot farther in life than the words on your diploma.

> The conversion to UTC will lose the original local time so you cannot retrieve it once time zone data changes, unless you perform reconversions every time you detect such a change in tzdata

I don't agree/disagree with your point, and neither I do agree/disagree with GP on the topic, but why couldn't I retrieve the original time? If, for an event, I save UTC + event TimeZone, I can always get back to the original time (actually, it doesn't even matter whether the timestamp is UTC; it's enough for it to have an explicit offset, i.e. to be the representation for an instant). Why should I change the timezone on a saved record? What usually changes is the user's timezone, not the records'.

> Thus it is important to distinguish between instants and wall clock time

Yes.

Asians will not have security guards following them because they are seen as meek rabbits who are not capable of crimes. At the same time, they don't exactly feel so safe because they would be seen as the easier targets for crimes.
Speed. Sometimes I wonder if people mean speed as in velocity, or if they mean the drug, seeing as they seem to obsess so much about it.

> Engineering is about seeing a problem, understanding it and using the technology you’re good at to solve it as quickly as possible.

Everywhere you turn to there is someone thinking that speed is the most important thing ever. Everything must be done quickly. The best way to do something is quickly. If something takes longer, it's clearly worse.

Even in an article about "the problems with Agile", people still fall into the trap of speed.

Engineering is clearly not about solving problems "as quickly as possible". It's about solving them in the best way possible, where you first define "good" as a balance between all the advantages and all the disadvantages of each possible solution. Speed is but one of the factors you evaluate.

I'll be honest, this virus situation has me super scared. Governments everywhere are giving themselves powers they should not have, and I doubt they are going to relinquish them once this blows over. Police are acting gestapo-ish in a lot of places. Meanwhile, Big Tech are developing even creepier ways to track everyone while pretending to save the world.

In fact, every time some tech company involves themselves with this covid situation, it rubs me completely the wrong way. Apple, just go back to making overpriced computers. Twitter, Facebook and Google wants to have the final say of what is and isn't the ultimate truth, like the goddamn thought police. On the whole, people are capable of sniffing out bullshit for themselves, and if they're not, Facebook can't save them from themselves, and convince them that 5G does not cause bat flu. Just stay out of it, and let the medical professionals sort out this mess.

I think the world has broken, and it won't go together again properly.

I'm unsure how to interpret this. Did your sister get into a top 5 school because the policy had changed several years later?
The WHO advice you are referring to is pertaining to medical masks (clearly stated in the section title of that page "When and how to wear medical masks to protect against coronavirus?")

Medical masks need to be used only if you have a proper reason to prevent the unavailability of stock to healthcare people.
Having tried to keep "permanent" backups of my personal digital data for 35+ years, I should point out that one should not underestimate the problem of technological change.

The "device" you use today will, in all probability, not be usable after a number of years, no matter whether you spin it up regularly and maintain it in a working condition.

I have backups in countless floppies, diskettes, Zip drives, 9-track, QIC, DAT, SCSI, ...

As an idea to share, I wonder given the topic, whether different emoji's can be localized too. An emoji can mean something different depending on country.
Typing classes. That would be typing on an actual typewriter, not "keyboarding" on a computer.
The need for speed is the direct result of worse is better.
I have no idea. Probably longer. But it is the same idea. The big gains come from going back to the simpler server side programming model. I'm working on a big Angular application right now for which something like Live View would be the ideal fit. That said, a switch to Elixir would be a very hard sell in my company. Blazor would be easier because it's .NET.

The "rhetorical trick" is your construction here, possibly even unaware. I didn't argue for taking only positives into account. I could go on an say you use the straw man fallacy against me now, but let's skip that part and talk like grownups.

I'm arguing for balanced assessment of risk and opportunities.

Because that's what is meant with "why point out it all go bad" part. The lack of counter arguments. You created the "only good" bit in your mind.

I'd challenge you to perceive opposing views not as bad faith, deceptive or dishonest. The world has far less of those types than current media and political climate makes you think.
What Amazon is doing is more akin to your landlord breaking into your apartment and using source code they found on your flash drives to build new applications.

Yes, your landlord owns the building you live in, but they promise not to go through your door as long as you pay rent. Similarly, yes, Amazon owns the platform you sell stuff on, but they publicly promise not to use your sales against you. 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.
Once upon a time, I drank about 3 a day. Then I would start to get headaches after a month or two, and had to take a break from coffee.

Then I started drinking 2 cups a day. Now it took longer for the headaches to appear, but eventually they did. Especially if I didn't drink for a day, the next day headache would probably emerge.

Now I drink 1 cup a day. No headaches. And frankly, 1 is enough. It's the same problem with every form of indulgence - it's not about the quantity, but the quality.
This may be interesting to philosophers, but this discussion is already 40 years old in the philosophy of history. We keep running in circles when new books keep setting themselves off against 80 year old analytical philosophies of history.
It's disappointing that RISC-V designers swallowed myths that resulted in unpleasant ISA details.

For example, the notion that condition codes interfere with OoO execution has been repudiated; Power and x86 both now rename condition registers. Lack of popcount and rotate in the base instruction set are glaring omissions. (That x86 got popcount late, and that the bitmanip extension will have them if it ever gets ratified, are no excuse.) It was silly to make the compare instruction generate a 1 instead of the overwhelmingly more useful ~0.

We only get a new ISA once in a generation. It is tragic when it is wrong.

It is possible, in principle, that popcount and rotate could be added to the base 16-bit instructions, but I'm not holding my breath.
> Switch also looks nice, but again it will soon be useless.

> The best you can hope for with these is for someone to find some security flaw after the vendor has stopped supporting the device, that will allow homebrew development in the future.

Earlier Switches all have an unfixable hardware flaw, and long since there are cfw's (several), homebrew and even a hb eshop.

Even if the new ones are patched, you can easily buy a used prechacked (or not) one. The hackable serials number batches are easy to check, just google for it.
He posted this on Reddit

His talking points are straight out of 4chan, even bringing up how women aren’t attracted to Asian men which is constantly memed on 4chan. Given he included that part I get the feeling that he’s just as racist towards Asians but uses them to undermine minorities in situations like these to play the “look I’m bating for Asian minorities I can’t be racist”
I thought the same thing. I remember vividly playing with PhotoBoot on my aunt's MacBook, I really enjoyed the rollercoaster!
This stuff would be useful. Self driving is getting to the point where it's a game of inches and there are only extremely hard problems to solve. Each major player definitely has non-overlapping sets of the solution. Understanding how their main compute works could hint at how their system works as a whole. Like how are they getting data from sensors? Are they doing HW acceleration? On which parts of the pipeline are they doing that and should we? How are they synchronizing all of their sensors to do sensor fusion?

It's clear that a self driving car will need to make use of a large suite of sensors which require tons of data processing. If Tesla is primarily camera based, it could be possible that they have invested in better cameras and better image processing algorithms + hw acceleration that competitors could learn from. Same goes for any serious player in this space.
Used to drink 2 cups a day. 1 after waking up and the next as soon as I reached the office.

No, what you're saying doesn't make sense, because the "black" race doesn't have a uniform culture or history.

You can point to problems in black America, and those problems might be inextricably tied to culture and history. But blacks also live in Africa, and some have a very different culture and history than black America.

And some of those Africans immigrate to America, which then means there are blacks here without the cultural and historical context.

Nigerian-Americans, for instance, are the highest-educated in the U.S. ( https://www.chron.com/news/article/Data-show-Nigerians-the-m... ), surpassing Whites and Asians.
I've also worked in games for almost ~20 years now (though mainly proprietary engines), but i still do not see where "it depends".

I think you are mixing two separate things: the reusability of an engine isn't really relevant nor what defines the engine. The engine is really the tech that supports the gameplay, nothing more or less. It doesn't have to be a framework or library or shared among projects or anything else. It can be any of those, but these are separate - and similarly a framework, library or any shared code doesn't mean that it is an engine.

Lonnie Johnson grew up in segregation-era Alabama. That probably set him back, but it did not stop him.
Now that I'm working remote & holed up in my apartment all the time, none. I got some of the DOOM Eternal branded G Fuel for the game launch, and it's strong (300 mg of caffeine per serving...and it's spicy lemonade, which sounds weird but it's delicious) so I have that on occasion in the morning to recover from a night of bad sleep. For the most part been staying away from the caffeine though and I've adjusted to it pretty well.

As soon as I get back in the office though, I'll probably be having 3-4 cups a day. Sometimes cold brew, mostly just black coffee. Occasionally I just do tea. Part of it I think is I just have a bit of an oral fixation, so drinking something helps me vape less (I used to smoke) and eat less (mostly sedentary lifestyle unfortunately)

3 cups espresso a day
Once upon a time I used to have 6 to 10 (3-5 double Espressos). Nowadays I tend to have 4, 1 double Espresso for breakfast and two Americanos, one mid morning and another one after lunch.

Despite what others say I never had headaches or other adverse effects, I just get 'the jitters' if I have more than 5-6. Two weeks ago I quit coffee with my wife as part of an elimination diet and again I haven't felt any side effects, although I do miss the flavour and feel more tired at times.
I assume Sweden, the public health agency here has been denying asymptomatic spread, at the same time they wonder how the virus got into the retirement homes which have been hit very hard.

The only downside of disabling snap in Ubuntu is the Chromium. Since Ubuntu's official package of Chromium is using snap, disabling the snap means you don't get packaged Chromium from Canonical. You have to build it yourself or using other means of distribution, like using Debian apt package or proprietary Google Chrome.

It's not much of a problem for me since I believe that keeping diversity of Web browser is necessary for the healthy Web ecosystem and I force myself to use Firefox. And I really hate Chromium force me to waste CPU time on some kind of test payload occasionaly, it use 100% of a core and there is no way to disable it.

I'm fine with restricting myself to use Firefox since I'm not a Web frontend developer so I don't need to test Chromium behaviours myself. But others may not.
I drink 4/6 espressos every day.

There is no correlation, beyond any doubt, with the quality of my sleep (I've tracked my coffee drinking and sleep patterns for a long time), as long as I don't drink any after a certain time in the afternoon!
Yes, i've looked into it some time ago and i have my PSVita in a firmware version that was hacked (even installed Quake on it :-P) and was also looking for similar stuff for my PS2. This is mainly because i already have those devices around (except the Switch, i was just curious about that one because of its popularity and really i bought the Vita because i was lured in by the free SDK for C# games... something Sony abandoned and -even worse- completely removed soon after i bought the device) and since i have them, might as well try to use them.

But i shouldn't have to go through all these hoops to write and install software on a device i own.

And even if issues are found in the future, you can't just rely on them and often the way to exploit them are too convoluted (take a look on how to install homebrew on PS2 for example - and note that this is the easy method that people figured out in recent years).
There are probably more MIPS cores in currently powered-up equipment than all other 32-bit ISAs combined. Another billion will be manufactured in the next month or two.

There's almost no other explanation, unfortunately. Opinion on it does tend to be pretty closely tied to conventional political orientation, but I know plenty of women in tech (or other traditionally male dominated spaces like gaming) that don't really like this kind of stuff because they have a lot of friends from over-represented groups that have had a lot of difficulty in life that's basically ignored based on their demographics.
