From wikipedia:

The English dramatist Philip Massinger used the phrase "black list" in his 1639 tragedy The Unnatural Combat.[3]

After the Restoration of the English monarchy brought Charles II of England to the throne in 1660, a list of regicides named those to be punished for the execution of his father.[4] The state papers of Charles II say "If any innocent soul be found in this black list, let him not be offended at me, but consider whether some mistaken principle or interest may not have misled him to vote".[5] In a 1676 history of the events leading up to the Restoration, James Heath (a supporter of Charles II) alleged that Parliament had passed an Act requiring the sale of estates, "And into this black list the Earl of Derby was now put, and other unfortunate Royalists".[6]

Edward Gibbon wrote in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776) of Andronicus that "His memory was stored with a black list of the enemies and rivals, who had traduced his merit, opposed his greatness, or insulted his misfortunes".[7]

Detecting (or not-detecting) life on a planet similar to Earth would be groundbreaking. Currently we know of only 1 instance where life arose, and only 1 planet where it's reasonable to expect it to arise.

If we detect life on Mars or Europa it would likely be related to our own, so that's not an independent data point.

But if we detect that there's definitely life on a planet 3000 light years away, or if we exclude that possibility - that's a massive change in our model of universe, understanding of Fermi paradox and our origins.
I was genuinely curious about the origin of this word based on these various projects changing it.

And according to the Wikipedia (and the Oxford English Dictionary) [1], it seems like blacklist came about something like 400 years ago in England. It doesn't seem to be related to race.

Is there a movement that is tying those terms to race? Would love to see some links about it. Because master/slave seems like a much more obvious set of terms that we can and should get rid of (and replace with leader/follower, primary/secondary, etc).

Thanks for the tip!

I've been using ghcide on Vscode, and it keeps crashing and sometimes just simply freezing. What's more, I can't get multi-component support to work, meaning I have no IDE support for any test files, need to write them blind. No REPL that I know of either.

I tried hie before, it crashed even far more often and the type inference sometimes took a very long time to come up with hints.

Presumably you'd exchange % of future revenue / profit share, or an equity split if it's a company.

Or if it's not a revenue-generating project, there might still be people who would help you out in order to build their portfolio.

That’s absolutely false. It’s gatekeeping, pure and simple.

I’m a guy, so I can’t imagine the pain of pregnancy? I had a large kidney stone once. The female doctor who had two children of her own told me that I experienced was more painful by a good bit than a pregnancy.

I’m also Hispanic, from a super high crime rate country. You think I don’t know what fear is, fear of random government kidnappings, fear of cartel kidnappings? Trust me, I do. Racism? Check. Genocide? Check.

Now should I be able to tell my white friends they can’t imagine what I’ve felt? Bullshit. I suppose SpaceX couldn’t imagine a self landing rocket either. They absolutely can imagine it.

Maybe some people can’t imagine it. Maybe some people are so closed off they really can’t try to put themselves in that position. But everyone? Nah.

It used to be guys were told they couldn’t imagine what it was like being a woman. It was their reserved space, so the gatekeepers claimed. Then trans became more of a thing. Suddenly it was politically incorrect to say these guys couldn’t imagine being a woman when they had been thinking about it for years.
> What does 'compactness' matter?

Because after the end of civilization, you may be inputting your first programs on punch cards or something similar, and your system's memory capacity might be measured in a few kilobytes, not gigabytes. Compactness is a huge deal in this context.

The only way in which hiking is "inherently dangerous" is if you equate that term to include "situations in which I may have to depend solely upon myself."

In an objective appraisal of risk, actual danger is negligible with: (1) water, (2) compass, (3) mylar blanket, (4) rudimentary knowledge of surrounding topography, roads, and settled areas, (5) first aid kit equipped to stop blood loss, & (6) bear spray.

I think this is a great move for a number of reasons, but as one commenter said, I think Allow/Deny are just simpler terms in general.

White/Black are abstractions and adds one more hurdle for folks new to the industry - especially those from different languages and cultures where white != good and black != bad.

I think this is good for social reasons, but I hope the industry in general moves away from black/white because its just not the best way to convey these ideas, its just the one that stuck.

Mastodon is a difficult one. The decentralisation of users runs contrary to the natural predisposition people have toward following the crowd.

As the writer puts it, people need to use other instances, but (myself included as a guilty mastodon.social user) the comfort of being on the bigger boat draws people in since they think it’ll be the last to sink.
It cannot be established without exposing healthy people to the virus, so it must be assumed.

Angrily? Defensive?

When I pointed out that "systemic racism" means different things to different people and that lack of agreement on that point made it difficult to have a meaningful discussion, you told me to "Go educate myself" and proceeded to lecture me about my ignorance regarding the criminal justice system.

How did you determine I was ignorant about anything? I happen to agree that our criminal justice system has some deep problems, so you just attacked a potential ally.

It seems to me that you jumped to the unwarranted conclusion that I had challenged some assertion about "system racism'. But by doing so you illustrated my point that it was difficult to have a discussion when terms are so ill-defined and that it was even more difficult to do so when people assumed that any attempt to clarify and understand the meaning behind the words was some attempt to minimize or diminish the grievances.

Your reaction was exactly the behavior that I was pointing out as making it difficult to discuss these issues.

You are upset that I am "splitting hairs over phrasing" and that is an example of what I would call "anti-intellectualism". The meaning of words is supremely important if we are to find common ground and be able to work rationally towards addressing the legitimate grievances being expressed in the protests.

It was explained better in the (otherwise less informative) BoingBoing article that this originally linked to: Direct deposit is an option, but not everyone takes that option.

There are a lot more unbanked people than I think most folks who occupy the more stable corners of the economy realize.

There are two opposite approaches here. I do like my job, we have team goals, we work together to achieve those, we have successes and failures along the way. And to me, an engineer, it brings enjoyment, challenges and confiscation. And I also suck at politics and try to avoid it as much as possible. So I love what I'm doing and I am getting paid for it. But that is not the case for all the people.

The approach you describe sounds like a piece of advise for someone who hates his job. So one would do as little as possible just not to get himself fired. Sounds like an awful position to be in.
Unless it is an open source project I feel it would be rude to ask someone to work for free on it.

I said work with a designer, as in a collaboration. As in bring them onboard as a co-founder, give them equity, have an agreement to share profits. Pay them if you can. Share skills by getting them to do design work on your side project in return for coding their side project. There are lots of ways to work with people.

I am absolutely not suggesting anyone asks someone to work for free. That's exploiting people. Don't do that.

Irrespective of origin, the terms seem to equate black to bad and white to good, and as such should probably be retired. As other comments have mentioned, allow and deny are more explicit and thus probably better terms anyway.
I'd rather live in a world with hidden treasure, but where the idea of hidden treasure causes some people to torpedo their lives and kill themselves, than one without hidden treasure.

If it weren't the treasure hunt, anyone that unstable would have joined the closest cult anyway.
Absolutely fair!
Silicon Valley was not an accident - it was the crossroads of academia, enterprise and innovation. And the power of being part of communities with the free flow of ideas, where every peer pushes you to go further - that’s hard to replicate without physical proximity. So short answer is yes - the world will still need Silicon Valley like communities. At least until there is more meaningful online collaboration of communities beyond static forums, transient slack interactions and tiring zoom calls.

So if I understand you correctly, you're asking developers to change how they work in order to make package maintainers' lives easier while providing no benefit to either developer or end user. Is that correct?
That helps... my dream involves personal financial independence though. I'd want to study what I wanted without regard for what was publishable, whether I was tainting myself with the Cross-Disciplinary Death Scent, whether the people I worked with were cited enough, etc. In other words, a hobby PhD.

It's a ridiculous and selfish goal, somewhat like wanting to own a tropical island or talking about spending ten years sailing around the world.
The CDC already failed us. Public health figures have been wrong repeatedly at the local, state, and national level.

I understand people's frustration with them, and I understand why people don't care about their "signoffs" on what we're allowed to do, especially when the guidelines are completely nonsensical like in California.

Where are the free clinics? Where are the free tests? Where is the free quarantine hotel room? None of that, instead we just get chided for being stupid and uncooperative by leaders. This is completely unacceptable, they failed us, not the other way around.

And the police might actually kill me today, unlike the virus.
Bezos might also want to defund the police to provide Amazon security services. If I had a corporate conglomerate that would be top priority.
Design is a "talent" the same way software development is a "talent". Some people may have natural abilities, but overall it is something to be practiced and studied if you want to get better at it.

CSS is just a programming language.

I am as talentless a designer as any of you but I stopped reaching to libraries and frameworks to solve my design issues, and started learning modern CSS and some basic design skills.

Lots of good books and web sites, and my personal preference is video courses through Lynda.com, which I get for free through my public library.

A new look into P2P lending: 8% APR, no minimum investment, no fees
Can't agree to this more. And depending on the size of the company, it might not be just few weeks, things which you would think should have been done in a month might take up to a year. And meanwhile everyone WILL keep talking about moving fast.

People will keep coming in and going out and you would end up have the same conversation with many people many times. And everyone will try to suggest "one change" at a time.

And there is nothing wrong with all this. This is just how big companies work, you cant fast-forward any of it.
These days I feel as if machines are deliberately phased out even when they are in perfectly working condition.

I have two macbooks (white plastic) one with Tiger installed and another with Leopard an iPad 1 ( They all are in working condition) Its a shame to not be able to use the machines just because it is not supported.

I would assume that they are good enough for a kid to surf websites and help do his/her homework. Listen to songs while browsing pdfs . Lack of support should not mean that perfectly usable hardware is junked.

After covid, there are a lot of kids in Indian villages whoes education is dependent on online education. Maybe these laptops could be made usable for them. ( Not everyone can afford a mobile phone)

Please do let me know if your linux installs will work for my case as well ( your case covers the Macbook Pro instead of just macbooks)

PS: I myself use i3wm on a lenovo machine. ( Not very happy with Lenovo but its ok ok )
Exactly, this is just going to open up a pandora's box. What about black box testing, is that racist too? And english terms like blacksmith and black-belt?

There are terms like "blue-collar vs white-collar" too which (according to some) deems the physical labor class as inferior to the "white" intellectual class. And there are general english phrases too like "things aren't always black and white, there is a lot of grey area in between".
Parents "lie" to their kids about things like Santa because they remember the magical world that was created for them from their own childhoods, before the reality of a world with no Santa, murder, disease, death etc intruded on their reality.

Which is better, telling your child:

or

"oooh you lost a tooth, now let's put it under your pillow and the tooth fairy will exchange it for a little gift while you sleep"

Allowlist/denylist is clearer and more intuitive. This same pattern (bias free communication resulting in clear communication and less injustice) can be seen in other areas. I wrote this yesterday after Microsoft added a bias free communication document, but it's as applicable here. [1]

At least in the UK, its laws and people would be better served if bias-free communication is rigorously used when lawmaking. The Land Registration Act 2002 an example of statute law which unnecessarily and frequently uses gendered words. [2] Sure, this is written in 2002, times have changed, but this is considered a key statute governing UK land law. Even as recently as 2015, unnecessarily gendered language is used in the Consumer Rights Act 2015, albeit not as consistently, but I'm sure more recent statutes also share this trait. [3] This sloppiness in writing could cause needless issues.

Here's one. The UK's Foreign Office noted that the phrase 'pregnant women' in general comment No. 36 on article 6 of the UN's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on the right to life 'may be inadvertently restricting the application of this paragraph to exclude transgender people who have given birth; this has happened in two recent cases in the UK.' [4]

This issue is greater than everyday language in business, but the same type of language used in our laws can potentially cost businesses by poorly-worded contracts or by other means. Legislatures should use gender-neutral language to make their laws clear and reduce potential needless unjustice.

It's been a long time since I did anything substantive with Forth, but, as I recall, the big problem here is that most Forth guides get so excited to show you how much rope the language gives you that they forget to teach you how not to hang yourself with it. So you're kind of left to figure out all the little idioms and best practices for stack management all on your own.

I wouldnt agree there. Words are powerful and just becuase they have multiple meanings does not mean that those meanings are not intertwined.

Regardless, those terms don't translate well and only make sense to people from other languages and cultures if you translate it and add the history to it.

Primary and Replica accomplishes the same goal but don't get weighed down with "what is a slave" or "why is the master in control of the slave".

Yeah, its a little inconvenient, but making software more inclusive is a pretty worthy goal and it wont take long to update the majority of tools and texts.

Staying comfortable because its convenient, while it makes other people uncomfortable, is probably why software is still largely a white male industry.
If it's anything like California unemployment last time I used it (for paid family leave, not traditional UI), you can't actually “elect for direct deposit” in the simple sense; you get an ATM card and after benefits are first loaded you can go through a process to transfer the balance to your bank, and only then set up future deposits to be transferred automatically to your bank. The bank transfer is not instant, either, it's a 2-3 business day process.

The quickest way to get benefits out if you need it the first time is to withdraw the limit from the card at an issuing-bank ATM.

And, of course, the people.that are least employment-secure overlap significantly with the unbanked. Can't elect direct deposit if you don't have a bank in the first place.
