Ok what about your balance sheet being in the black? Should that be neutralized too?

I think it’s going too far. If you want to do something for people go out and help them. Devote time to kids, provide mentorship, etc. This other superficial stuff only satisfies misguided activists and does nothing for affected kids.

Here’s the thing. It’s easy to find someone or something to pillory. It’s time consuming and hard to get on the ground and help. People love “showing” how good they are, but rarely act on it in real life with hard effort —that’s too much work.

As Zizek says, what happens the day after (the revolution)? Everyone is enamored with the effervescence or revolution being the good guys... but no one wants to do the hard work. Everyone’s life has to go on when you get back to reality.
It was never the correct thing to say or think, you're correct. Society has been critical of people insisting on that practice anywhere from 1960 to 2020, and there's an obvious reason why most depictions of it in media for the past fifty years have been rich white people with southern accents uttering it as an excuse to do something absolutely racist as a punchline.
I think this is a great recommendation. Before going with lawyers, I think it's important to share your vision of how beneficial you are to the project. At the same time, you must know a bit more about the sales and the new potential owners intent. If you see there is no future for you, the new owners are just there to grab users and move onto something else, that may dictate a different strategy than you are currently stating here.

I'm a hiring manager. We don't pay based on value, we pay based on competition for the hire.

If the software doesn't require a lot of ongoing maintenance (it may! I have no idea!) and this business is already set up to handle remote asynchronous work, you may not have a strong negotiating position. Or you may -- perhaps it requires highly specialized skills. But you should make a non-emotional evaluation of (1) your replaceability, and (2) your business partner's opinion of your replaceability.

If you want pay based on value, start a company you own.
If it's available, gftodvi is a useful tool as well. It creates a large bitmap with annotations of locations on it (it was used for the illustrations in Computer Modern Typefaces). It would be so much nicer to use with contemporary previewing capabilities than things were back in 1990 when I had to send my gftodvi output to the Xerox printer in the basement of the computer center, hope it didn't crash the printer and get my printout half an hour later.
Stupid question but a serious one on my end : I would pay to get an actual guide to go through this and teach me, just like I did on travel. Would you?

I think the complaint was more about libraries using JNI than the JDK, itself. There's a popular sqlite library that ships with native libraries, otherwise falling back to transpiled code. I'm not sure if they've done much work for ARM.

Java's actually the easy case. ARM means a lot of docker containers won't work, your development architecture is different than your protection architecture, cython libraries, etc.

This is probably the right move if you want to build a laptop with good battery life, but sort of like removing the escape key, it's problematic for a large segment of Mac buyers.

It requires jvm. But you don't have to interact with java, sometimes its easier to just use a particular java library, but many people report never having to touch java. JVM seems like a nice to have, a lot of the standard java tooling works for clojure as well (profilers and what not).
Stability is a feature not a bug.
Rust gives you FP-style without loads of copies and C-like performance. Immutable data-structures aren't idiomatic, but it's ownership gives you most of the same benefits.
This isn't true at all, promises in JavaScript are monadic, as are chains of conditional logic. Stuff like this is literally everywhere:

if a:
b = f(a)
if b:
c = g(b)
...
else:
p()

Which as a monad would be something like

A >>= f >>= g >>= h >>= ...

I've built several classes with a covert "return" and "bind" operation to keep this kind of programming clean, I just don't tell anyone it's a monad.
HAHA yes!

The mantra is to find a problem [you're passionate about] and solve it for a small group of initial users.

A corollary is to find an emerging technology and make it easy to use or make something related that doesn't currently exist. I say it's a corollary because I assume that whoever is working on the new technology has found a problem and is trying to solve it.

Speaking about myself, I was interested in two-factor authentication and security keys. A couple years ago I saw an opportunity in FIDO2 [I was betting on a hopefully growing technology] as there was no open source FIDO2 security key.

With a group of friends we decided to make SoloKeys [1]. I guess in our case we decided to make it a company vs a side project, but that's just the amount of commitment.

Fast forward 1.5y, FIDO2 is implemented on all browser including mobile safari on iphone and Microsoft is pushing FIDO2 a lot. So I guess the bet was good so far.

This is a long story to say that maybe it's hard to think to a problem, but maybe you can find a technology (that someone else developed to solve a problem) and you can be part of that ecosystem. Best of luck!

Well the point of saying "All Lives Matter" isn't actually to claim that all lives matter, so a "good faith" way would kind of be missing the point. The people who invented it and say it don't mean the lives of poor black kids in the inner cities, families of Salvadoran immigrants apprehended at the border, transgender activists in San Francisco, etc... the phrase "All Lives Matter" is just the 2020 version of... (I'll let Lee Atwater do the rest):

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Ni\\er, ni\\er, ni\\er.” By 1968 you can’t say “ni\\er”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Ni\\er, ni\\er.”
RNN's are 80's technology at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_neural_network#Histo...

With neural network use in image recognition (if not facial recognition) being used at least as early as 1983 (I'm not in the field, so just did 5s of research and found something related) - https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6313076

"A recognition with a large-scale network is simulated on a PDP-11/34 minicomputer and is shown to have a great capability for visual pattern recognition. The model consists of nine layers of cells. ..."

another paper from 1990 using neural networks for facial sex identification:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221619290_SEXNET_A_...

and software facial recognition itself dates to the 60s.

I think they should definitely choose what should go viral though. You can Google ALM to your heart's content on an iPhone, they just don't facilitate it through the lower-resistance modes of querying.
There must be a thousand false friends though. As a guy struggling through German, there are too many words that sound the same but mean different things, like 'fast', 'bald', and others (I cannot immediately think of)
I gotta say, I'm not really enjoying the Racism 2.0 upgrade. Weirdly, "Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men" is not only fine by the Racism 2.0 standards, even objecting to it makes you problematic by the new standards. I don't think you can really paint me as being "confused" as in "you should educate yourself," which is a fairly common refrain on the support forum. In some sense, Racism 2.0 runs counter to the reason I bought Racism 1.0, because previously the idea behind the software was that we try hard to treat everyone the same no matter what, and now in Racism 2.0, that's bad, and who you are has everything to do with what you are allowed to do, say, and even think.

If it were just a constructive suggestion, it would be harmless enough. My guess, though, is that "errors" in usage will be regarded with increasing gravity.

I doubt that cost is the concern. Both Apple and Intel are big players, they can find a fair price between them, and Apple always had the threat of switching to ARM to get better prices.

Did anyone use Gravity before and make a comment about the ecosystem / community growth perspective?
Technology is never neutral. It always reflects the biases of its creators, and of the social environment in which it's developed. Those biases may directly contradict the goals you expressed. For example, if self-driving car technology has racist biases, a "good" person may still end up on the inside of a car that chooses an escape route with a pedestrian of color in its path over an escape route which has no pedestrians.

Neutrality is a myth. Actively promoting values and challenging biases is preferable. You don't have to agree with the values promoted, and you're welcome to choose not to use the technology.

In the arts there are people working with Metafont. Check out Dexter Sinister's Letter & Spirit (2012), see http://servinglibrary.org/journal/3/letter-and-spirit then click on the PDF link.

Letter & Spirit opens by describing a dialog between Knuth and Douglas Hofstadter ("Metafont, Mathematics, and Metaphysics"). For Hofstadter's essay, see https://core.ac.uk/display/15352994 or chapter 13 (p.260 & fwd.) of Metamagical Themas (https://archive.org/details/metamagicalthema0000hofs/page/n9...).

There is also Dexter Sinister's "A Note on Type" (https://www.sternberg-press.com/product/notes-on-the-type-ti...).

All this suggests that Knuth's Metafont work has ended up being a successful provocation regarding how it is possible to encode creative design and visual language.
I've been able to do it as well, but I don't think it's fair to call it easy. It requires self-control to avoid getting heated and saying something inelegantly, and attentiveness to make sure you avoid pushing any hot buttons. There's no way you can talk as freely and easily about anti-racism as you can about, like, food or sports.
From Section IV of the Justice Departments article:

The Supreme Court has noted the crucial role that defining the relevant market plays in section 2 monopolization and attempt cases. The market-definition requirement brings discipline and structure to the monopoly-power inquiry, thereby reducing the risks and costs of error. The relevant product market in a section 2 case, as elsewhere in antitrust, "is composed of products that have reasonable interchangeability for the purposes for which they are produced--price, use and qualities considered." Thus, the market is defined with regard to demand substitution, which focuses on buyers' views of which products are acceptable substitutes or alternatives.

For search advertising, they will likely find other forms of advertising such as Facebook as a good enough substitute and thus the market definition will include other forms of advertising and not just search. For app publishing, you can publish your app for android yourself which Fortnite did.

iOS distribution on the other hand can probably be argued for that and in fact they are getting sued for their "abusive monopoly in iOS app/in-app distribution services" [0].

I have no problem with this:

"to him that ye schuleth tribute, tribute" becoming "to him that you should tribute, tribute."

It is a bit odd to modern ears but the second tribute is clearly a shortened exhortation for emphasis. Should in English often implies an obligation and owe falls out from that. "You should apologise for that" -> "You own an apology for that".
Yep, workload matters. Generational garbage collectors are fundamentally at odds with caching/pooling of objects. They are based on the assumption that objects die young. Typically that is not the case for internal caches, though. Caches usually consist of long-living/tenured objects.

Last week I had to use OS X for the first time ever, on a friend's iMac. It was irritatingly animated and it required unintuitive steps to open a terminal. Something called Finder ( but I'm not searching ), then clicking down into some folders and finally Terminal.app

All whilst trying to ignore the distraction of various icons bouncing on the dock bar. And occasionally I'd press something my mistake and Finder would minimise itself.

Thankfully I had my phone to hand to look up how to use this intuitive system...

What I did most recently was to start out as a contractor and get a feel for the place. I found a good fit with some other skills (started out as a Vertica admin and got drafted to do some C++/SIMD work, and some stats, and now DW design/dev).

In the end I looked for the same things you would at a startup: growth, revenue, and technical fit, and found a good opportunity within a huge multinational. I've since filed a couple of (provisional) patents, and we're growing like crazy, so our exec got promoted.

We still have a lot of issues like others describe here with Conway's law, inter-group coordination, and so on, but we have clear goals and metrics.

In contrast, I had a previous job at Microsoft that completely stagnated, even as the rest of the company was booming. It really depends on the opportunity.
The language is dynamically typed in the first place, I don't think 'null' is dramatically increasing risk here.
No. I mean a full-fledged alternative to the major operating systems. Do people in charge of Chrome OS say "In 5 years, we want developers, designers and project managers at Google use this OS"? I don't think so - it's not their ambition to compete with Mac OS or Linux.

This quote is essentially saying... that the root of fiscal conservatism and small government conservatism is racism. In the 1960s and still today, people support states' rights as an indirect way to hurt black people...?
