> JScript ... was horrible ... I would rather use VBA

I still write both JScript (for WSH) and VBA (for my sins?) and I much prefer JScript. At least it lets you easily create your own abstractions thanks to anonymous functions, whereas VBA really fights you at every turn in this respect.

At my previous employer we were using GA and it's very flexible. We were able to track all DOM interactions by just configuring the included js. Although, querying that later with tools engineers can use and build is a whole different story.

Here's some food for thought, what stopped the US from building AWS before AWS came to be?

And quite funnily, the first public AWS service wasn't S3 or EC2, it was: SQS (according to Wikipedia) in 2004

We can define Nation X as the US and Target Y as US citizen and go down different scenarios and see when it becomes the right kind of violence.

A peaceful protest (this should be universally agreed on as a very bad target for military use).

Rioters that burn cars and loot stores.

White supremacists marching in the street.

Exact same actions as any above but we call it terrorism.

US citizens doing terrorism but which is indistinguishable from regular crime.

US citizens doing terrorism, where military weapons like bombs are used (we could also split this up based on what reason the terrorist have).
Sadly Reddit's announcements have a long history of verbosity, with little to no action taken afterwards. It's a long post but you'll notice very little in the way of actual measurable goals.

The comments in that thread are very telling of how Reddit's admins have chosen to wring their hands, or lament over their lack of involvement in the past rather than address issues, policies or tools.
Are they rummaging through old computer parts to fix their old machines like Japan does?
The story reminds me of the HR practices of 'measuring' personality based on questionnaire to judge the competence of people for certain positions and determine their carrier path inside the organization (e.g. at Trimble). Imagine you are a software engineer applying for an engineering role and they ask you a hundred or more questions to compare the importance of aspects such as punctuality, trust, being patient, lawfulness, honesty and several more, 3 at a time, make a strict order of importance. Without specifics on the work context and situation. Then they build a multi dozen component report how good you are in this and that on a 1 to 5 scale. The way you work. Based on answers to strange questions, not actual work.
When it is impossible to answer accurately (because it depends, or there is no order like between playing piano or being tall) then the results will be inaccurate, yet they use it to classify workforce like steel by its properties, determining their fate. Assessing work performance before doing any work. And they take it dead seriously like gauge on a pressure tank.
It is just so ... well dumb, forcing any kind of oversimplified measurement on complex and fluid things, sounds like measuring friendliness by meter. People change, people adapt, people behave differently in different circumstances, very very differently, and definitely not how they admit it, no one can count how many influential factors there are, these robotic and unified approaches are just distorting for the purpose of appearing fair.
It is far from fair, it is just robotic - which is ironic from a department called human resources, feels like robots work there not humans. Measuring fish by how high it can jump before allowing to swim.

It is just pretentious not scientific.
Maybe he thinks that black-on-black crime is probably worse than police-on-black crime since it's more common?
Nature isn’t limited to intentional design tho, I’m not sure what advantage we have when you have a few 1000’s of people trying to progress technology over their life time vs about 7 billion iterations which are governed by natural selection and that is if you only account for a single species.

Also don’t forget that a single life can also produce multiple iterations of itself over its life span.

Designs are limited by what we understand and can imagine as well as other constraints, nature not so much.

Ellen K. Pao was right all along. Also if the replies in here are representative of Silicon Valley as a whole, damn. It just reminds me of the stereotypical too-smart-for-their-own-good hacker who is prone to making sweeping generalisations and extrapolations in domains that lie outside of their own experience or expertise. I know I'm prone to this and I've met a lot of arrogant smart people who fall into this category. I really think that there is an empathy problem here. Sometimes we just need to shut up and listen instead of looking at the world in binary terms.

It seems a bit silly to say "reverse racism" doesn't hold when race is an explicit criteria for the job. Maybe this is still net positive for all the good that could come out of it, but clearly racist to say certain races need not apply.

Imagine I'm selling clothes to upper middle class people in Iowa and someone applies to be a salesman or a general manager. "Oh sorry, I'm really looking for a white person here because I feel we've mismanaged our relationship to white consumers in the past." That seems like pretty clear cut racism to me. I don't see we should apply different logic just because the races or jobs are different.
This week the NYT apologized[0] for publishing an op-ed[1] from a Republican senator which stated something (using the military to restore civil order) which has broad - if not majority - support among Americans[2].
Some columnists apologetically said that giving Sen. Tom Cotton a stage could be justified on the basis of giving that to other enemies of the US in the past, such as Iran and the Taliban[3].

It seems like in the USA circa 2020 there's a pretty narrow legitimate range of opinions, stepping out of which immediately earns you *cist expletives.

>This might be difficult for you to understand but explicitly hiring someone with a particular skin colour is the fucking definition of racism.

The only difference between what they're doing now and what they did before is the skin color requirement is explicit instead of implicit. Only hire white guys? Meritocracy! Decide you want to hire 1 black guy? Racist!
It’s textbook survivor bias. Who is going the reveal their anecdote? The person who knows someone with a story. And 500k is a hell of a story. My bet is spending 3 months doing free OSS work on average has a lower EV than applying to a shitload of jobs, levelling up on interview challenges and technique et cetera.

Bullshit. Spain, which was hit quite hard, already did widespread antibody studies and the result was that only about 5% of the population might have contracted it.

Yep, the compiler doesn't judge you, that role is left to the community when they discover you posted a library on Github that uses more unsafe code than they'd like.

I love this quote from a friend of mine who was learning Rust:

"It's hard but I love it. Dealing with the compiler felt like being the novice in an old kung fu movie who spends day after day being tortured by his new master (rustc) for no apparent reason until one day it clicks and he realizes that he knows kung fu."
True. I actually considered clarifying that. But if we're being pragmatic, the chances are awfully good that a new "black" board member will understand the issues.

Have to say, unless the board member is also a prickly character, there's a high likelihood, even with an understanding, that he or she won't really rock the boat anyways.

> Canonical's philosophy in some ways mimics that of Apple's where they care about usability over configurability.

The philosophy they mirror is the "Walled Garden" and "complete control over user devices" though I'm not sure if even Apple is doing the latter. I don't see any practical reason for denying experienced user the choice. Snap may be technologically most advanced software distribution solution (it is not) but it benefits only those who control it, and in case of Snap, that is not you, the user, but Canonical.

My impression (from briefly skimming papers about this a few years ago) was that there is clear evidence that myopia is strongly related to not spending enough time outside as a child, but it’s not clear to what extent the effect being outside has on eye development is from focusing the eyes far away vs. being in very bright surroundings.
Reddit's downward spiral has not changed since Tencent. It has always been like this and has nothing to do with Tencent and everything to do with the administrators/owners/boardmembers and the few moderator friends they let control most of the big subs. Go read what actual moderators (not the admin-friend-mods but everyone else) says about this and it will have nothing to do with China.

Could you not have left Reddit on Reddit instead of taking it with you here? There's enough China-hate here already.

Why does the current generation have any obligations with right to sins (slavery etc) committed long before they were born? I don’t believe that sins can be inherited. It’s now well over half a century since any remaining discriminatory laws where abolished in the US, and longer than that in most of Europe. Government affirmative action has existed for decades. Let everyone compete on their own merits.
Never before has a programming language received so much marketing. It's very odd.

Well, seems like your country is broken, maybe you should reconsider your apparently destructive regulations. Fairly free competition does make it work year-round and cheap all around Europe.
How do you decode video from a data channel?

Ah yes, who better to make decisions related to the problems of racism in Reddit than a group of white people. And intentionally including a non white person is in that discussion is actually racist.

I think the "reverse racism" argument shows that you haven't read a huge amount in this topic. Which is surprising given the focus of these issues in the past couple of weeks.
I actually think that that Chrome ad on the Google homepage was the most anti-competitive thing Google have ever done.

Like, no-one else in the world could possibly have gained access to that ad-space (possibly the most impactful ad-space in the world), and yet no-one even covers this in the anti-trust/competition investigations.

I got really sick of ignoring the constant prompts to install Chrome over the years (and I still use Firefox).

Mind you, at least the EU took them to task for Android service bundling, should be interesting to see what comes of that.
Hey.

I wanted to share a project I've been working on. About a week ago I started building a todo-list app, and it got a bit out of hand. I ended up with note-taking tool with linked notes, save & sync, and shareable note title suggestions, etc.

I haven't implemented sign up yet, so technically it's in 'closed beta', but subscribe here (https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/jott) and I will give access as soon as I can (usually about an hour or two, but times vary depending on how your time zone overlaps with mine.)
Other than the number of cases, a key metric is ICU load. There's a good visualisation here https://covid.visium.ch/ ... the peak ICU load at the end of March / early April was 62% (the source of this data is described here: https://github.com/schoolofdata-ch/swiss-hospital-data ) ... in other words hospitals weren't overloaded the way they were in Italy for example.

IMO some of the main reasons for that were;

- Switzerland has an effective / working healthcare system

- Personal health is taken pretty seriously; there's a general emphasis on fitness and good diet - Switzerland has one of the lowest obesity rates in Europe for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_Switzerland

- Measures like shutting schools and working from home were implemented pretty quickly at the beginning of March.

- As a whole people behaved sensibly. Advice from the government was taken. There was no panic but largely people adapted to the new situation very quickly

- Finally, in general, the social systems works well here. There aren't large numbers of homeless and most people furloughed or who lost their job will have received at least 80% of their normal salary, so you don't have large numbers of people living in unhealthy conditions that would help a virus spread

Where does a Programmer’s brain store all the coding?
Plenty of those can be better expressed in C++20, alongside clang tidy and VC++ analysers.

Compile time reflection and metaclasses already exist as VC++ prototype, demoed at Visual C++ 2020 virtual conference.

While I enjoy using Rust, what I care about are the libraries and IDE tooling, specially for .NET and Java integrations, so for better or worse, C++ keeps being the tool to pick.

Also I have big hopes for Rust/WinRT, but it is still very early for it to eventually reach C++/CX tooling, which even C++/WinRT is currently playing catch up and where WinUI team is placing their resources.
Imagine if that analogy was applied between petty shoplifting and murder.
I don't get why people praise e2e so much

If you look in the past main attack vectors on messengers are via exposed phone number, third-party insecure cloud backups or just physically accessing your device. Telegram addresses all of these while also allowing e2e encryption, just not by default for now because UX. At the same time many other popular messengers advertise "e2e by default" while being not secure at all and having mediocre UX (no desktop clients, no seamless sync, no usernames etc).
I'd say the opposite; not going out of your way to hire people with some specific skin colours is racist.

It wouldn't be if all the people with different skin colours had an equal standing, but they don't, and have a history inequality.

If you purposely ignore the inequality, you're perpetuating it. You're working with a faulty definition of racism.
It depends on what you combine the state machine with.

State machine + sequential read of a tape = "fsm", regular languages

State machine + sequential read of a tape + stack = "pda" push down automaton aka stack machine, context free languages

State machine + arbitrary read of a tape + memory tape = Turing machine, do anything

But still the state machine is finite.

Just tried ebay.co.uk and I can see several clear.png calls with 204 and a payload as described in the article.
Flawed is not completely useless. Even a flawed p-hacked measurement can distinguish between big effects efficiently.

Plus even if all the previous measurements were totally useless, that doesn't mean we should just give up and stop trying to measure soft stuff.

No, it's quite the opposite. Instead of many small underpowered experiments and studies we should be spending on fewer but well designed and run larger ones. (Even if that's naturally harder.)
This was brilliant touch!
You're discounting a group of people as unfit by nothing more than their race/skin color. That's racist, by definition.

None of this will ever be solved as long as race and physical characteristics continue to be of importance (regardless of what "side" you're on) over someone's actions and character.
It seems like eBay wants it both ways. They want to have a huge user base with low friction to get started, but they also don't want fraudulent players. Instead of doing KYC (know your customer) like many financial services, they're stuck doing dirty tricks like this to try and combat fraud.

I am sure and I think we shouldn't fall into this kind of traps.

First of all it doesn't guarantee anything. They will pick someone black with the same line of thought that they already have on the board. They won't be selecting, let's say, a black conservative. So in the end, their skin colour would be less important than their ideology but at the same time it'll be the decisive factor, which is stupid. Just as stupid as it would be to fire someone not white to hire a white person.

I'm saying this as an immigrant and hence a minority. I wouldn't even think about taking a job where they want me because of where I come from. It would make me feel like if I had some kind of disability or special needs and I couldn't do the same thing as others.

Race problems won't stop until people understand that the more emphasis you put into race, the more you'll divide people.
I love Signal. I've convinced a multitude of people to switch and some use it day to day currently, but mostly to talk to me. So i feel my contacts do it out of respect and `compatibility` of communication.

What baffles me is the the incompatible feature matrix.

First of all, for some reason iOS users get the updates faster than the Android. I was exploring emoji reactions yesterday while my Android contact admitted the feature was not yet available for his device. I had to double check with Play Store to confirm.

I've found peace with the sync issues for the desktop client though, it got much more stable compare to 8 months ago. What still feels like a massive UX problem is inability to forward messages on the desktop. Given, i have lots of people coming from different places that do not know each other but share same interests it's just painstaking to copy/paste the same URL five time in a row.

And at the same time, there's no support for the Android tablets as secondary devices.

For a person deep in Apple ecosystem it felt weird to learn that Android users don't share the same experiences i do. That makes the sales pitch to try Signal way less appealing for the Android folk.
>not every person with a certain skin color has experienced the same thing

True, but try finding an Afro-American that haven't faced racism.
The odds of the best fit for the position being an african american are quite low.

Positions should be assigned to people on the basis of their ability, not their skin colour.
