No normal parent has said anything even remotely like that in the last 30 years. Why is it so terrible to accept that men and women on average have different interests? Everyone knows that testosterone makes young men orders of magnitude more violent, why is it inconceivable that they could also be 4 times more interested in more mechanic play? It’s been observed even in almost newborn chimpanzees for Gods sake.
dang, as the recipient of admonishments from you, I can only say: thank you. Your work ensures this site retains its high value.

That may read as a suck-up but it's genuine gratitude -- this is my go-to site and the value comes from the dialog here, far more than the articles themselves.

Pretty genius move to get Apple to approve version 1.0 but not 1.0.1 to allow him to manufacture the controversy.
> The problem with a quantum version of general relativity is that the calculations that would describe interactions of very energetic gravitons — the quantized units of gravity — would have infinitely many infinite terms. You would need to add infinitely many counterterms in a never-ending process. Renormalization would fail. Because of this, a quantum version of Einstein’s general relativity is not a good description of gravity at very high energies. It must be missing some of gravity’s key features and ingredients.

Is there a proof backing up the claim that “ Renormalization would fail”? I can see why people would jump to that conclusion but that doesn’t mean it’s true.
For certain values of can.

The messages that need to be said right now are very difficult to say because people have steeled themselves. But they need to be said. This is not meant to be flamebait, I truly deeply believe these messages need to be heard and understood, so please understand that I'm speaking in good faith here. If you feel strongly that I am wrong, please reply with well thought out reasons why. I will listen.

Articles like this do the black community a disservice.

Society pretending that there is massive racism when there isn't is itself structural racism.

If you believe you cannot succeed due to all this racism, that will be sulf-fulfilling.

Blacks that believe in widespread racism will be less likely to go to university and get a job.

Blacks that believe cops are out to kill them will be more likely to resist arrest and get killed.

I'm not saying there isn't any racism. But I am saying that the level of racism is low, and the remaining racism is probably impossible to eliminate. The way to improve the lives of blacks is to stop focusing on and zooming in on racism, which makes it look a lot bigger of a problem than it really is.

Lived experience is not the way to determine why people do what they do. The hearer is not the expert on what the speaker means when he/she speaks. Like hanlon's razor, don't attribute to racism that which can be attributed to a simple embarrasing mistake. If you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The recent protests due to police behavior is justified to call attention to a real problem, and police need to be less militarized and better trained. However, the belief that they are systematically hunting down black people for extermination is untrue and only harms the black community, because if you believe that, you are more likely to consider lawful persuits hopeless, more likely to engage in crime instead, and more likely to resist arrest which means you'll be much more likely to be killed by the police. It's self-fulfilling.
I feel like Rust and Go are fundamentally different use cases and I wish people would stop the language debate.

Rust: For code that isn't meant to be iterated upon, that must be safe/correct while also being performant.

Go: For code that is meant to be iterated upon frequently, that must be performant and easy to maintain.

I would like my tools to be written in Rust, and I would like to interface with them in Go.

Yes, but if you pay with your US-issued Visa card the Venezuelan merchant won't receive U.S. dollars. They'll end up with local currency.

The advantage of Zelle is that unlike Visa, it is a dollarization tool. A Venezuelan merchant can directly earn U.S. currency.

Given that the doctors are refusing to test you, perhaps you could use an online symptom checker? I find its better than google for symptoms though and using multiple tools like this could give you an idea of what it could possibly be.

Obviously they don't replace doctors, but you can show them a report of the symptoms and the possible outcome of how you're feeling.

A few you could try are listed here: https://medicalfuturist.com/the-big-symptom-checker-review/
You can frame it like this but this was not what happened.

It was not Google that came up with this idea. It was one media outlet that is opposing another media outlet. Google is just a tool in this case.

You are clearly not balanced in your opinion in this matter and you are looking for excuses how to make it look right.

jQuery does still have a place for smaller websites IMHO. I really wish Intercooler (http://intercoolerjs.org/) had caught on more for such uses.
A monopoly would indicate there exists a lack of options for buyers or control of prices from a very large seller.

As it stands now, Amazon is a glorified Alibaba that sided with buyers in disputes.

You can find the same things on Amazon on Alibaba, Newegg, bestbuy, Walmart, iTunes, Google Play, the Amazon sellers own websites, etc. the buyer is in no way required or affected negatively by not interacting with Amazon.

So I’m struggling to see the point of labeling Amazon a monopoly when it doesn’t convey any useful information.
That's why "purple team" is the way (not sarcasm for people not aware of purple team methodology)
You probably want "-f bestaudio" instead of "--extract-audio". The former will download just the audio and skip the video which is significantly faster (and cheaper when on a metered connection). However you will have to do the conversion to MP3 yourself afterwards (e.g. with ffmpeg) if you want that format specifically.
Also Best Buy sells "As seen on TV" products, which clearly indicate they can be purchased elsewhere. Apple wants their cut, and they're not taking no for an answer.
I think the trend you're describing comes down to post-modernists' general rejection of objective truth, which the scientific method relies on. This excerpt from the Chomsky-Foucault debate sums it up well[0]. I like the idea as a progression of philosophy but it's been applied in some pretty terrible ways[1].

Your example would be a case of sexism (sexual stereotyping), not racism (racial stereotyping). It may have been unintentional, but it was still sexism.

In this type of situation, the empathetic resolution would be to apologize for causing the victim's embarrassment, which most likely exceeds your own.
An in-place upgrade from 6.1 to 12.1 without major issues? That is indeed tremendously impressive.
Well, leaving aside the React vs Web Components debate, the only issue is that some folks add technologies like React but forget to remove the old ones as they go. They half-finish the job. Then they do that up to 5 times more...

My advice would be to try to refactor the jQuery app to reduce global state first. For example, use ASTs and other techniques to programmatically determine what global state is used where. Think of it not as “porting” to React, but more as ‘re-writing in React” — the sooner you can finish the rewrite, the better. Take it in smaller, thin, but global (across the whole app) steps, and work to break the app dependencies back down to separate components — this is especially true for CSS, which historically has been global by design for much of its life...

If shipping during a rewrite, make sure you have some very basic tests running. Try to implementation-agnostically look for and click text or otherwise use the web app in your tests, then run the tests before and after making widespread changes... Use screenshots from the tests to quickly visually scan for errors. Pay attention to errors in browser consoles also, if not using TypeScript to its fullest yet.
But until then his assignment was to become Soboloff so convincingly that nobody would ever suspect he was a Soviet spy. Eventually, he was given responsibility for managing five recruited agents, including a Communist Party of Canada member from Toronto who worked for the company developing the Avro Arrow and provided its engineering schematics to the KGB.

That said, as noted I don't have references I can share for what I learned. Believe it or not.
The video you linked espouses the same ideas. To be anti-racist isn't to simply understand the things one can and cannot say. To be anti-racist is to fundamentally understand the lived experiences of the Black community and how it relates to other structures of power.

It's akin to just memorizing a list of microagressions like curse words and never saying them for fear of being fired. Anti-racism provides the tools to contextualize and understand why certain phrases are racist or biased.
I think I agree with you. Git uses logical ordering rather than temporal ordering, and their concept of a primary key is rather nebulous.

We've been able to train up "regular folk" on bitemporalism at our company. The distinction between valid and transaction history takes a little while, but it sticks. Git has two or three such conceptual sticking points (staging vs committing, branching & merging, remote vs local).

The Root, from my experience over the years, tends to err on the side of being extremely racist. So take it with a grain of salt.

If you wait to do anything about systemic racism until it's fully quantified, it will be a long time until we can make any progress.

Meanwhile, a central point of the book is one that should be self evident. Talking about racism makes white people[1] uncomfortable. I know this to be true from experience. And we can't make progress as a society until we own that discomfort and are willing to have frank conversations about racism.

I don't see how you need "statistical power" to recognize this or adopt this strategy.

Also, this:

> ccuse/blame them for something that they did not personally do

That's not what the discomfort is about. Of course none of us are _personally_ responsible for the systemic racism in the US. But if we can't even talk about it without getting uncomfortable, how are we going to fix it?

1: If this doesn't apply to you, great, I wasn't talking about you [2]

2: Except if this topic makes you annoyed enough to disagree then yes, I probably am talking about you.
The diff between the error rate of crocodiles, humans, and spaghetti code is really where it doesn’t stand up.

Crocodiles > humans >>>>>>> spaghetti code.

That would be an absurd response if the woman in question was actually interested. People only use stereotypes when they DONT have specific information.

I’m over forty and and upper middle class. It’s a true stereotype that we don’t tend to be passionate skateboarders, but someone that met me in a skatepark would not draw the conclusion that I’m not interested based on my age and socioeconomics.
True, that is the only reference, but if that on its own has got them that is frankly outrageous.
E-commerce apps have always been allowed, but the video app did not allow purchasing on iOS at all (if I recall they even blocked it in mobile Safari) until very recently. But my point was this isn't exactly a new policy for Apple, and if you're building an app in 2020, it's just how the model works. Hail laissez-faire capitalism.
A huge part of the knowledge I had to acquire in the early years of my development career is now useless or even harmful... Anyone remember clear: left; ? :D
That's always been a rule but apps like Netflix count as "Reader" apps that are allowed to do that.

>3.1.3(a) “Reader” Apps: Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions (specifically: magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video, access to professional databases, VoIP, cloud storage, and approved services such as classroom management apps), provided that you agree not to directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods are not designed to discourage use of in-app purchase.

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
> App Store is a "channel to market".

The "channel to market"

there is no other channel on the iphone.
I can vouch for the fact that Apple does this sort of thing on a regular basis. When we were submitting an app update, they rejected it on the grounds that we didn't offer in-app purchases. This is apparently a problem because we offer a subscription on our website, even though we had done the same thing for years with no issue. Also, we had numerous competitors who were doing the exact same thing with no ramifications and had recent updates approved. Apple had no good answers and refused to talk about other apps. We also had no mention or links to our website or subscriptions anywhere in our app. I could go on and on about how ridiculous the whole situation was.
> The problem is that everyone has his own personal experiences.

Everyone has their own personal experience, that's just an unremarkable fact, not a _problem_.

> It is white men who feel silenced in the tech industry, by HR, the press, CEOs and activists.

How are you so sure your observation is specific to white men?
It is possible, we've done it.
Pretty sure it was a rhetorical question to prove a point
His anecdotes is a way of putting what he's saying down.

Yes, that's exactly the problem with the concept of white fragility. It's a Kafka trap [0]. You either agree with the concept and its implications/assumptions or you are accused of exemplifying it. It's a clever bit of rhetoric if you're fan of argument by denunciation.

> If you make a wrong inference, just accept the correction and move on, no hurt feelings.

If you're a VC coming to a first meeting with a startup CEO and their team, none of whom you have met in person before, making an inference at all is simply unprofessional. You should be asking. The fact that the VC's inference was that the white person must be the CEO just adds the further insult of racist stereotyping to the insult of unprofessional behavior in this context.

My main takeaway from the article was not "lots of people in the startup world are racist" but "lots of people in the startup world are unprofessional assholes". I think the latter problem is what needs to be fixed.
I did my junior (high-school) year English research paper on RSA and public key encryption that year (1995). I recall using a phrase along the lines of "This may lead to more trust of The Information Superhighway, and enable its use as a commercial trade center."

Never said it was a good idea. It's inefficient, unsafe and hard to read but, as far as I can tell any generic function with concrete return types can be written using reflect (and any generic function with generic return types can be written also, it just requires the caller to manually cast from an interface{} to the correct type).

So, that's an interesting thing.
Prefer no generics in Go. Like Go simplicity. Don't want all languages to merge into single grey good form. Want strong trade-offs made.
Well you can't really expect much about breakages or backward compatibility when you use an alpha, that's kind of the deal.

Just wait for the stable release to upgrade? Or don't upgrade at all, it's not the sort of thing that you absolutely need to keep up to date anyway.

They had a horse sized payload with the Legged Squad Support system.[1] It worked, but the Marines tried it and it wasn't useful enough. They ended up going with a small ATV for supplies.

(Too noisy, too. A subcontractor was supposed to produce a small, quiet Diesel to power a generator and hydraulic pump, but that never happened. Probably because a small, quiet Diesel is hard. The US military runs on one fuel, JP-8, which works in both aircraft and Diesel engines, so to deploy this, it had to run on JP-8)

The vocabulary from that language spec is not even followed consistently in the language's own standard library.

The `strings.Compare`[1] function is used to establish ordering, in the spec sense. You'd think they would name it "Order".

Similarly, the popular go-cmp[2] library provides `Equal` for equality, instead of `Compare`.

It shouldn't be that surprising. Both are "low-level" languages that came onto the scene around the same time, are highly opinionated, but stake out very different points on the design space.

If you start talking about changing the recipe for Coca-Cola, surely Pepsi is going to enter the discussion at some point, right?
Your second source makes no mention of illegal or undocumented immigration. It seems to be saying essentially the same as source 1, that there are around half a million Venezuelan americans.
Exactly this. I have a coworker who I used to like personally, even though I had a lot of problems with his actual work. But, he would never own up to making any mistakes, and now no one likes him personally or professionally.
No. I've seen success with Microsoft SQL and PostgreSQL.

I've also experienced instability issues, it needs that VS Code level polish.
I had two machines at home in those days, a Win2k machine and a Mac. Both were locked down against remote logins by default. When my parents first got broadband, their Windows 95 machine was not locked by default and some courteous hacker updated startup.bat to alert them of the vulnerability.

Strangely, I found Go to be one of the least productive languages I've ever used, 2nd only to Java. It just makes the programmer do so much of the work for common tasks, and it's incredibly repetitive and while it generally generates a fast program, the quality/fault rate isn't any better than any other iterative language.
I was studying RNN-driven image classification 12 years ago. No doubt defense companies were waayyyy ahead of a master-degree course in an university outside the US.
Now that you mention it, it reminds me of another big "movement" that has a very nebulous problem statement with no clear instances of the problem to solve: Climate Change. Well, at least no problems + solution combinations that people are willing to do.
