Isn't the word "pork" offensive to some halal or kosher developers?

https://github.com/search?q=pork <- 800 results

Since such name changes impose a lot of breakage and work downstream, we should find an objective way to designate which ones are necessary. An example could be an ongoing github poll, with the results averaged over years to prevent fads from creating work. A code of conduct could specify that if more than x% of the userbase over y years vote that <word> is offensive, it would be scheduled for deprecation in major version +1 and removal in +2.
That's only two orders of magnitude away from a 100bps line, which would incur 10 ms latency due to the transmission method (in addition to the latency of the neutrinos actually having to get there), and that's for reliable communication.

Unreliable communication that gives you an advantage over mere chance 1% of the time can already be advantageous, you'll be right 51% of the time.
Related question for discussion: Do you believe dress codes that have different standards for men and women should be outlawed? For example, if a man wants to "cross-dress" at work in front of clients and complies with the female dress code it follows from the reasoning of this ruling he should be allowed to.

I’m very happy that this tactic has backfired so spectacularly for WD. I don’t know what the total impact on their bottom line is, but what I’m seeing is a huge reputation as damage for WD. People are avoiding putting WD in their NAS in general, even if they have plenty of drives that are fine with it!
Are you sure about that? I've seen a number of reports over the last few days that "master" in git is basically a holdover from BitKeeper which had master/slave repositories (and that in BitKeeper you use repos to "do" branching). I haven't looked into this in enough depth to convince myself either way, but I would do so before echoing your first sentence. Certainly a _lot_ of people are assuming it means "master copy" and has nothing to do with master/slave, but there do seem to be reasons to believe that's not actually historically true, i.e. a flawed assumption.

Edit: getting downvoted for pointing out something true; somebody's feeling uncomfortable...
An interesting possibility is that by not mentioning it and focusing his objections on sexual orientations, Kavanaugh is tacitly conceding that firing a biological male for 'living as a woman' might fall under the ordinary meaning of discrimination based on sex.
Asking people what they want is an underrated skill.
(As the poster you're responding to) I don't disagree, but I also see that those who are opposed to this decision are inclined to frame it as the courts re-defining the word sex (check how Fox News covers this over the next few days). You can argue "it's not a redefinition" and cite the courts decision as basis, but someone who wanted a different opinion is likely to say "the court came to that decision because they redefined the word." My counter to that persons argument is whether we call it redefinition or not courts exist to interpret things, and there is nothing new in them doing so here and now. That's their job, and that's how we got the concept of eavesdropping.
There's a ton of software that assumes the main branch is labeled master.
Religion is certainly within your control.
Management's convenient insistence that remote work hinders collaboration is a bubble, I agree.

I imagine WD has said nothing so far because they're probably waiting for their lawyers to tell them exactly how much they can claim to have known/not known without opening themselves up to litigation.
Heh, they talk about neutrinos for HFT in 'The Hummingbird Project' briefly - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6866224/
You sure about that? Might want to google "git bitkeeper master slave" before making up your mind.
It would be cool if you edited the wiki article, adding an alternate etymology, citing the 1911 E.B.
Game theory, in specific a coordination problem:

If every business in town discriminates against purple-haired people, for example, the owners of the one business to break ranks leave themselves open to harassment up to and including being murdered. Even if no business wants to discriminate, being the first to make the move sets you apart, and open to retaliation from the consumer base. The government mandating hair-color-equality dissolves the problem very neatly.

Draft numbering starts from zero: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-00

And also the number resets if (as happened in this case) a draft is adopted by a Working Group and acquires that "ietf" in place of an author's name, so the predecessor to that zero zero draft was ekr's draft-rescorla-tls-esni-00.
So VC's are out, bootstrapping is in?
It would seem that this argument (as summarised here) would make it illegal to discriminate based on any behavior or characteristics that would not be problematic were the parameters to be changed.

So speaking with an offensive caricature of an Italian accent or wearing makeup intended for individuals with a different skin tone could potentially be acceptable under this standard. Or we would have to see a strong reversal in tolerance for in-group people using terms that would be interpreted as slurs were someone not in that group to use them.

I hope that the Congress will move to pass legislation explicitly adding protections for sexual orientation and gender identity so that we don't have to suffer through any slippery slope related to this.
He laughed his way to the bank.
And the majority opinion is basically: if you fire a male employee for being with another man, its not a sexual orientation issue since the basis for your firing is that the employee is male. Thus, all protections apply

Because AppImage doesn't solve the problems.

- No sandboxing

- Doesn't solve the "run everywhere" problem, AppImages usually are compiled agaisnt Ubuntu LTS's, which isn't 100% binary compatible with other distros, e.g. fedora

- Its a game of bingo whether the AppImage has a library bundled or not, and whether the app will work your host version or not.

- Performance, appimages are a compressed filesystem that getss mounted by fuse each time the app is run, which is slow, additionally subsequent launches of the app aren't even faster because we get fresh inodes each launch.

- Bad system intergration, appimaged is an abomination.

- AppImages promote a bad security practice of marking binaries from the web as executable, let's not replicate the main way malware is distributed on Windows.

How far can we take it? Can we ask CEO Nat Friedman to rename himself to Nat Peaceman, because Milton Friedman allegedly had close ties to Chile at the wrong time?

People can be triggered by that name, and dual meanings obviously do no longer exist.
So they can use this image to directly measure the width of the core?
Gay rights leading to gun rights, that would be facinating if only just to see the political fallout. I've always wondered how people would react if gun rights were tied to abortion rights somehow, and if political alignments would change.
That seems like a massively overengineered solution which does not solve the actual question:

Of course. There's no court case that is based entirely on a hypothetical. But it seems exceedingly common - especially on the scale of SCOTUS - to abstract a specific event or argument to the more general one.

Take constitutional challenge to Obamacare for example. I assume they had to point to someone specific and say "this law violates that person's rights", but they absolutely "considered" and "responded to" the hypothetical in that case.
SpaceX is all about getting the cost down. You are going to make a lot more travel and payloads viable by focusing on dropping the price to orbit by 10x or 100x or 1000x (about $20/kg is the goal for the in development superheavy rocket) than on optimizing for smoothness. For now it is smooth enough.
That is exactly what the majority opinion stated in response to the historical meaning argument. It is not reasonable to expect every time a court finds a law should be applied in a way its never been applied before to then throw up their metaphorical hands and say "welp. Guess we have to let the legislative branch do something, our work here is done."

Re-interpreting existing law is a HUGE component of our legal process. This goes all the way back to common law roots -- the court does not PREscribe law from above arbitrarily, rather it DEscribes the existing societal contract.
"master" isn't problematic, though.

I recognize this as well.

I once didn't fill in my Dutch VAT taxes (0 euro's by the way, it was an administrative formality) and I was fined.

Another time the tax authorities didn't pay me money back for almost 9 months, and it was only because I found out and they forgot because of some administrative mishap.

However, I'm not allowed to fine them.

I find it weird, because I'm pretty sure the mistake is similar in behavior and intention. Yet, I have to pay up and they don't.
That software is broken if it doesn't allow you to configure this (just as git does).

WSH is considered a liability by so many admins these days and all the top search hits are on disabling it. I cannot imagine preferring WSH to PowerShell today; everything about PowerShell is a much better experience (including the simple fact that its security model is better and it is nothing near as much of a 0-day worm/virus vector.)

HTA only works with the classic IE Trident engine which is woefully out of date with web platform technologies in 2020. Anyone still working with HTA that hasn't been allowed to migrate to Electron (or PWA) has my sympathies. I do not envy whatever terrible political decisions have led to that.

Tangent:

PBS recently aired a documentary about Clarence Thomas that I really enjoyed [1]. It looks like it's maybe no longer available to watch there, but I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in politics / history.

Everything I'd ever heard about Clarence Thomas was basically just referring to the "caricature" of him presented to the public in the media. This paints a much more nuanced and compelling picture, in my opinion.

Outrage over video showing child after macing at Seattle protest
While I understand that, the risk IMO needs to be more generalized

For example I am from the Midwest, we get tornado's here and one of the routine ways that insurance companies try to get out of paying is to classify the damage as "strait line winds" because apparently if wind is traveling in a strait line insurance does not pay but if it moves in a circle then we have a winner.

My Insurance for Storm Damage should cover all storm damage not have these weird exclusion based on the type of storm

Insurance is like Microsoft Licensing, no one can understand it and no matter what you buy you do not ever have the "right" insurance

If I have Fire Insurance, it should cover me if my house burns down. if I have Pandemic Insurance it should cover me during a pandemic, if I have business interruption insurance it should cover me if my business is interrupted, etc etc etc

I understand that a policy can not cover "everything" but I also so not believe that the insurance company should be allowed to sell "Storm Damage Insurance" then proceed to fine print out many many many types of storms... That should be considered deceptive business practice if not fraud

We have a real problem with Truth in Advertising for Insurance (and many other industries). IMO we should be seeing billion dollar fines coming out of the FTC on a weekly basis if deceptive business practices were aggressively enforced as they should be, instead i can not recall the last time the FTC even investigated anyone...

That fact that you have to go through so many references to define the word object exactly proves my point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_programming

Modularity is the very fabric of most engineering disciplines. As opposed to that, OO is a holistic "ideology" about using classes and inheritance to design software. I call it an ideology because despite its abysmal failures people still refer to it in positive terms.

Apart from Android not one software from the list uses inheritance and classes. OO has shown a narrow success in GUI.

In C you don't have modules and interfaces, so what you do is define a struct with pointers. Now you can compile any .c file which follows this interface and dynamically load it into the software.

Python / Perl / Javascript / Ruby ... support this. Remember how much code is resused in the packages downloaded when you do pip install ? Thank modules for that. Not OO. Because of duck typing these dynamic languages don't need interfaces but you can find code snippets that implement it with keywords like pass.

In modular coding you get libraries, extensions and plugins. I find it sad not many people use these terms and prefer to honk OO every time.

Have you heard of Wik? https://wik.netlify.app/#Home
I just discovered it a couple of months ago and have been using it every day since. It stores everything in your web browser’s LocalStorage. The downside is that every web browser you use has independent data. This also means that backing up your data is entirely on you. However, it is fairly simple to download the entire database and back it up some place. I keep meaning to write a script to merge different instances, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
“Messaging” isn’t inherently free of abuse. What make e-mail so abusable is its distribution.

Closed gardens will always be safer from abuse than open protocols. So what you’re really arguing for is that we drop email in favor of something more closed.
I agree with the thrust of your post but I want to nitpick one thing:

> They won the Browser War I and would have likely done it again in BWII, were they not forced to behave by authorities.

Rephrased: Microsoft won Browser War I by using illegal tactics, and lost Browser War II because authorities made them stop using illegal tactics. IE/Edge was always a bad product, and its success was due to external factors.

That said, Microsoft has lots of resources and I don't doubt they could have made a good browser. By extension, I don't see Chromium Edge as a loss for Microsoft so much as an informed decision to throw in the towel. How does Microsoft benefit from spending millions of dollars on a custom rendering engine, when Google gives Chromium away for free? Microsoft can fully rebrand it, and put in their own ads, tracking, and default search engines. From my vantage point, Microsoft just saved an enormous amount of money and lost very little.
Thank you for clarifying. I haven’t read the opinion yet, but have read some of the lower court rulings. I really thought they might split on orientation vs transgender. Orientation does feel like the bigger leap logically.

Curious, historically what typically has stronger lasting power — a Supreme Court ruling or a law enacted by Congress? I feel like it would be the Supreme Court because the personnel churns more slowly, but there’s probably data on this.

<small>, however, does not do lowercasing. All it does is make the font smaller. 'AI' should be caps regardless of whether it is wrapped in <small> or not. That implies that something in the CSS or HTML is overloading <small> to make it lowercase, so it can be correctly transformed to uppercase smallcaps for the reasons I explain above, which it assumes will be done by the later JS (which however doesn't run under NoScript).

> 2. Apple will move to a long term two-CPU strategy with ARM on economy and low power SKUs, and Intel chips for the “Pro” SKUs.

That makes sense to me: a two-CPU strategy (ARM for laptops and x86 for desktops where power usage is less important) would lessen the Osborne Effect. Mac developers would have a strong motivation to support both laptops and desktops (and thus ARM and x86 macOS) so consumers would not have to fear buying a soon-to-be-obsoleted computer.

Shipping bitcode instead of ARM/x86 universal binaries would also mean that eventually Apple could drop x86 and those bitcode applications would be forward compatible with ARM desktops.
> The problem is the politicians control it instead of the individual so the money is not invested but spent.

You're undercomplicating the story of Social Security.

1. The program was instituted with an eye towards applying to everyone immediately, not 30 years from now. You cannot hand out retirement benefits to people using savings that were never set aside; so the program was always pay as you go. Not necessarily a bad thing but considering the government has low borrowing costs, perhaps it should issue some low cost, long term debt to fund the program. On the other hand, investing on the margin like this is fraught, so /shrug

2. There actually was some investment made when the boomer population came around. They were putting in more money than their predecessors took out and thus we have a surplus. Those boomers are now retiring and drawing down social security surpluses has begun, leading to the '75 cents on the dollar' estimates we've seen

3. The actuarial estimate of the cost of running social security relies on predicting variables far into the future, many of which are affected by the rules of social security itself. Longevity in particular has gone up with time.

4. People on average are not great at investing. They buy high and sell low, they buy the dividend, they don't read the prospectus. They're not even great at saving; it's why we had to institute the SS program as mandatory. Folks pointing to their 401k strategy on HN ignores how the HN crowd is a highly biased sample of the population.
Autistics are not neurotipical

The Rust COC is so vague that anything can be flagged as "non welcome"

Nobody said racist or sexist and I don't understand were it's coming from

If they don't want sexism or racism, they should write sexism and racism

An autistic person will react differently from neurotipical when confronted about manners, in a way that the COC forbids

Communities should be goal based, tribes are based on rules and enforcing them
I wonder if there were there any attempts to observe the rest of the universe with this kind of equipment considering there are n number of neutrino sources.

Yes, I saw that in Plovdiv - which is an amazing little city. I love the layers and layers of history there, and all over Bulgaria.

Deultum/Debelt was pretty fascinating - Roman town in the process of being excavated, and you can just wander the ancient streets with a few archaeologists working around the place.
None of which have any association with master/slave, unlike git where the convention of calling the default branch "master" comes from BitKeeper, with its master/slave repositories.

>So identity fraud is just totally fine as long as you're screwing over insurance companies?

Isn't it legal to buy an airline ticket for someone else? I've never heard of that being called identify fraud.

>Identity fraud aside, stuff like this drives up the cost of insurance for people who legitimately need it. It's clearly both illegal and immoral.

People have made the argument that what she did was illegal based on laws specific to insurance fraud.

It's a tough to think about how companies, the stock market, banks, packaged securities, hedge funds, governments, and tax codes are all playing games with this but when a normal person does it they get thrown in jail.

It seems we're basically ok with the rich and powerful working all kinds of loopholes in the law but not normal people?

Doesn't seem so clear to me.
Wow the comments are giving this video really high praise. I’ve added it to my to watch later list. What did you find interesting in this video? Even after reading the comments I still am not quite sure what they go over in the video
> "You're absolutely allowed to discriminate based on hair color because it's not a protected class."

The "not a protected class" counterargument is self-defeating because it suggests that discrimination was A-OK before that protected class was created by law. If illegality does not imply immorality, as is often said on HN, then conversely legality does not imply morality.
