Mussolini essentially saw the left-right spectrum as useless. I think he was correct about this. The fact that both fascism and anarcho capitalism are classified as being on the right indicates the spectrum is a gross oversimplification.

Wouldn't such a system still require storage? Their nights might be a little shorter by virtue of being in GEO, but they'd still spend a chunk of each day in Earth's shadow.

Well - the lack of safe public transport is due to this thing called "global pandemic". The scandal of public transport in the UK is not London. It is Birmingham and also some elements of the North West (connection of towns to greater Manchester in particular).

BTW - car's pay big taxes in the UK via fuel duty - 75% of the cost of petrol is tax.
Damore was not offered a chance to receive forgiveness by either the company or the outrage mob, therefore I don't respect what people generally have to say about whether what he did was right or wrong. It's astounding that people are still debating this in this very HN thread. A society of any size that makes virtue claims while simultaneously adding an undue price to being wrong or insensitive deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. You don't have to agree with anything Demore said, but the fact that Google openly encouraged political discussion, yet had an unwritten rule that if you say anything to upset a particular political demographic that you are terminated, is patently absurd. Companies shouldn't be encouraging employees to be political. We would never tolerate companies that encourage religious discussion but fire employees that say things against the Christian faith.

If you're going to come into this thread to refute Damore's memo and downvote people who don't tow your petty little line, your need to reexamine your principles, if you've got one.
This makes no sense, both have their place and limits are good! Ossification has a purpose!

I often use the metaphor of a tree:

leaf = library
stem = framework
root = platform

Write platforms so you can hot-deploy everything including the database and change the turnaround of the iteration to as close to zero as you can!

In my MMO engine client I have a couple of hundred of milliseconds turnaround from saved source to running in the engine (platform + framework + library) without any reloading of assets.

Same thing on the Server.

Only use OS + language (C+ (only string/stream and classes for structure only) for client and JavaSE for server) and build everything else yourself except if there are libraries built by one person (personally I use JSON and DNS4J for Java and GLEW + SoftAL for C, all of those are at the edges!). Everything else is a recipe for long-term disaster!

This is the original post I'm responding to. If I found an old blog post of yours which revealed life-altering information, should I be sued if I send it to a reporter?
Is this a class reductionist argument? Are you saying, for example, a black women at Google doesn't deal with adversity and is no longer effected by politics because they make a large amount of money?
Fuel is heavily taxed - 75%
You two are having very different arguments.
Hmm, some further improvements:

typedef float F;typedef int I;
// saves 2 lines (but zero bytes)

#define R return
// OR
#define O(S,A,R) operator S(A){return R;}

#define E(F){E_((F||cudaPeekAtLastError)(),__FILE__,__LINE__);}

and so on - although you'd probably have to make semantic chages to get onto a single card. (Or use a smaller font, but that's presumably cheating.)
Each one from that list could be removed by a certain criteria. By server-client architecture and netcode CS:GO is worse than the others by a few miles, yeah.
It feels increasingly odd to work in exclusively male teams when there is no obvious biological reason why that would be. Possibly the casual “kill the ex-girlfriend” jokes contribute to that. I mean, some people really think like that, so it isn’t a purely innocent joke.

Fascists have a long history of presenting their movement as a third way, neither right nor left. In fact "ni droite, ni gauche" was a slogan of the far-right French political party Front National, whose founder is on the record having defended the Nazi occupation government.

I don't think Damore is a fascist. However, it seems clear to me that, he, along with a lot of other right-wing figures today are using the exact same tactic as fascists once did by presenting themselves as "centrist." If you don't believe me, check out this Twitter account: https://nitter.net/a_centrism.
I don't have time to go through all of that. Evan emails seem like nothing burger. Sorry, have you ever met college students or even school students? Both girls and boys. Because they all call each other names, fat/bitch/slut shaming is done more by other girls to girls than boys.

Again, only saw emails.

Even then, all of that seems more outlier than any programming community. Not everyone is a billionaire programmer responsible for putting social media cringe in front of our eyes.

> The lesson here just reinforces the adage about letting the compiler find and transform your source code into vectorized code with the programmer giving hints or small rewrites as needed.

This has been my M.O. for a number of years, but sadly on modern platforms there seems to be little logic to which code is fast and which isn't. Even if the compiler emits vector instructions, that is no guarantee that the code will be particularly fast IME. Things like cache misses play a role obviously, but sometimes it's just a plain mystery why fast-looking is a bit slow. For that purpose I keep a benchmark of various ways of doing common array operations that I can run on each platform, it's quite handy.
Bingo...
Strongly disagree. I think it would be both feasible and good to change culture to be more tolerant of "tone-deaf" speech.

The discussion of the "Variations" section is interesting. Apparently the person who inserted it (and had it removed several times) won't give a citation but also won't come out and say that they made the examples up themselves. Nobody ever calls out the useless introduction of German terms in the examples, and more importantly that (a) "Ritcher" is not a German word, and (b) even if it were a misspelling of some German word, it would not mean "church".

>"The 'things vs people' dichotomy is extremely vague and obviously bullshit."

Is it? Or have you simply not taken a moment to do a little bit of research?

Here is a study with 500,000 participants, for example:

"Results showed that men prefer working with things and women prefer working with people, producing a large effect size (d = 0.93) on the Things-People dimension.

"Men showed stronger Realistic (d = 0.84) and Investigative (d = 0.26) interests, and women showed stronger Artistic (d = -0.35), Social (d = -0.68), and Conventional (d = -0.33) interests.

"Sex differences favoring men were also found for more specific measures of engineering (d = 1.11), science (d = 0.36), and mathematics (d = 0.34) interests. "

[1] Men and Things, Women and People: A Meta-Analysis of Sex Differences in Interests. Psychological Bulletin 135(6):859-84 · November 2009

Here's another:

"Career choices have been shown to be driven in part by interests, and gender differences in those interests have generally been considered to result from socialization. We explored the contribution of sex hormones to career-related interests, in particular studying whether prenatal androgens affect interests through psychological orientation to Things versus People.

"We examined this question in individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), who have atypical exposure to androgens early in development, and their unaffected siblings (total N = 125 aged 9 to 26 years). Females with CAH had more interest in Things versus People than did unaffected females, and variations among females with CAH reflected variations in their degree of androgen exposure.

"Results provide strong support for hormonal influences on interest in occupations characterized by working with Things versus People."

Garbage in, garbage out.... of course the data over time will correct but the anomalies created by a few outliers are in fact a representation of bad practices. And those outliers are not measured because one cannot ever account for every potential situation when it comes to people. So they create a margin.... works for figures but NOT for policy!! My point,by the way. No wonder SV is still chasing ad optimization as it’s primary business. It’s impossible to ever become efficient, but that doesn’t stop people from chasing the paradigm. Because it’s the cracks and crevices that allow for exploitation, that’s why.... oh never mind, I’m talking psychology to people who think in binary and never the two shall twain
U.S. corporate culture truly has become toxic when one can't even debate anything or exercise freedom of speech.

Well it is. I've given you enough examples.
The bit of data I didn't cite comes from the 2018 Pew report.

You have also worked yourself into a tizzy over nothing. CA is not forcing vote-by-mail only. Newsom's order is only about requiring everybody to receive a ballot. Rules for in-person voting will be determined county by county, and those rules are still being developed.

If you aren't opposed to vote by mail, you did a poor job of making that clear. This chunk of the discussion started out with "Voter fraud ahoy!" You jumped in to fret about "undetectable cheating". If you don't think that vote by mail is any less secure, I have no idea what your goal is, and rereading your posts doesn't help.

RepoFS: File system view of Git repositories
Engineering is where most of the people go who care more about being right than about what people think of them. There is a reason for that - it usually matters if an approach is right or not in engineering work. Companies like Google need to be able to roll their eyes when engineers start stupid arguments, not sack them. The front-page rule is a technical impediment to people being able to figure out facts. The path to the truth often leads through patches of believing things that are wrong.

Charging into a room trying to start an argument isn't the best way to work out what is true; but there are young engineers who are going to try it because they are under a lot of pressure to be technically correct and not under a lot of pressure to be socially savvy. They're in the process of learning that it isn't politically feasible.

Even a full blown "Engineer holds crackpot opinion!" should never be front page news unless it is a risk of a building fallen down. Let alone "Young Engineer tries to start a Stupid Argument".

So I had (an admittedly brief) look into Svelte on the back of your comment. And one thing that stands out to me is that it appears to be using string templating. This isn't a complete dealbreaker, but it's definitely a step back from the React world where everything is JavaScript. This was by far the biggest pain point in other frameworks like Angular, so I'd be pretty reluctant to go back to it.

Looking at the framework benchmarks (https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...), svelte is indeed a good bit faster than React. However, Inferno which takes a react-like virtual DOM approach but better optimised is faster still. So I'd be more inclined to go with that if I were willing to give up the React library ecosystem.
But the choice never was "gmail or your own domain". Pre-gmail it already was likely to be one of a few large providers, (and to a good degree still is). The argument sounds a bit like "gmail won because gmail won": For gmail to be the default assumption, they already have to have won.
Steam was direct attack on game ownership..

You don't seem to get the game industry has been stealing PC games since 1997 with ultima online.

Buying any client-server game or piece of software means you're getting robbed.

Almost every game in the 90's had the ability to host locally, Doom, duke 3d, descent, quake 1+2+3, we used IPX emlulators like kali/kahn to play games like warcraft 2 over the internet.

So you need to go back further buddy, from 1992 to roughly 2004, all games had dedicated server functionality until the game industry realized the public was stupid with the rise of utlima online, everquest, guild wars 1 and wow, which lead to steam.

Steam is basically corporately hacked software, why would you need to login to someones remote PC at valves HQ to play a game?

Up until 2004, every PC game had dedicated server functionality built into it. Just go look at the FPS released from 1995 to 2004 roughly.

This stopped because the public bought into the MMO scam o the late 90's, mmo's were just rebranded PC RPG's to get the public to take up corporately hacked software.

So no.

GTA 4, fallout 3, battlefield BC and LEft 4 dead 2 are POST STEAM and POST MMO games, after they'd figured out you were too stupid to realize you were being robbed and were oblivious.

So go back to quake 3 engine based games and earlier PC games you'll notice they were complete DRM free pieces of software. You don't get the STEAM is unnatural corproate malware that was forced into half-life 2 because of what they learned about the public from 1997's ultima online.

UO was what spawned the great game theft of the last 20 years.

To have games that can be shut down remotely and who's servers can go offline means youre getting fraudulently coded software.
In fact, quite a bit! I am already convinced. If tribal associations would clarify, then I am more than likely "on your side."

Can you direct me to where I suggested there is no systematic career discrimination towards minorities? If that's how you interpreted my comment, then I apologize for that. There is absolutely substantial structural discrimination; I don't intend to minimize that.

The comment I was replying to did in fact specify as an assumption (the antecedent of the conditional) that "society tells a woman she's not likely as interested in something." This framing excludes the possibility that something else (namely biology) may affect a person's preferences.

I don't think that's a reasonable assumption - again, little scientific evidence supports that view. (Even intuition does not support that view: I don't think most people would argue that men for the most part are "brainwashed" by society to have sexual preferences for women. Likely some of this is biological; in fact, there is a good evolutionary reason for it!)
I encourage you to look into writing extensions, an extension which simply registers a command that executes some script at a fixed location would be a good starting point for learning.
Well it’s up to your tastes. I have major newspapers (Economist, NYT, Wapo, Zeit, Spiegel, Figaro) trade press (EE Times, Science, Matt Levine at Bloomberg), and local newspapers. Fortunately you can subscribe to sub feeds!

I have various “major” blogs (e.g. vox).

I get corporate / tech updates like abseil, omnigroup etc — low volume and useful.

I follow personal blogs, some from people for whom it’s part of their business (Herb Sutter, Bartek, Heather Cox Richardson, Matt Stollar...),

Many things that are sent as “email updates” are available as RSS feeds too which is more convenient than cluttering my mail. Substack mailing lists for example are all available as RSS feeds.
Also worth mentioning was the consolidation of small free-held farms into large estates held by senators and run by slaves.

This consolidation was partially driven by war debts; Roman citizens accrued debts during the wars of conquest, while the generals won the spoils with which they could purchase the land of indebted citizen farmers. It was also driven by economies of scale; the larger estates were more efficient, had lower costs of operation, and had the market contacts to grow the crops that generated the best profit when shipped.

Of course this means Italy basically stopped making food when senators could sell oil at higher margins, and began to depend on Sicily and Egypt to produce the grain for Rome, with the latter eventually becoming the personal property of the emperor. This would cause serious problems later, but the senators profiting neither knew nor cared.
Everyone is affected by "everything". Especially politics. People discussing it means they need to acknowledge how policies affect them and how it affects others, and is it good or bad "in general".

Even better for them.
There are Super Nintendo games like Star Fox that had a second accelerator chip on board. But it would still be cool for the game to be the computer and exist in custom silicon. Development would be super slow of course but the result would literally be the best it could be.

Wonder if the advantage would be worth it. Is anyone trying?
Sued them for what, exactly? Quoting a document Damore circulated to thousands of people? Being honest isn't generally a crime.

I'll note that you've just imagined the "intention of destroying a person's life" bit. There were plenty of reasons for releasing that that have nothing to do with Damore. Indeed, why would they have anticipated that it would lead to Damore's firing? If that was obvious, then that would have been obvious to Damore when he wrote it.
>> the article explicitly mentions

Ya. The public report on the super-secret space plane touts that it is studying far-off green energy solutions when those same technologies have much more immediate military effects. It's like the USAF saying that it is studying lasers in order to build better CD players. Everyone takes such statements with a grain of salt. Nobody thinks that we are getting the full story behind these experiments and we chuckle a bit at the poor junior officer instructed to "be creative" with descriptions in public statements.
It's annoying that Bloomberg refers to the memo as being "political" and expressing "political conservatism". The memo was attempting to explain the underrepresentation of women in tech via biological differences. That has literally nothing to do with politics, and framing it as such misrepresents and discredits the contents of the memo.
Journalist using the words "frat" in an article doesn't make something true. The only place I see this term slung is in the media and HN, or people making up abstract bad guys to vent their anger on.
