Bringing in Biff is what VCs always do. Or at least always used to do. I've encountered it personally. The term they used was "seasoned executive". Biff is a better name.

I'm not doubting Timothy's experience, but if he's right, the point would have to be that VCs bring-in-Biff more often with black founders than they do white ones. Which seems entirely plausible, but that's not the argument I think I'm reading here.
WiFi has terrible latency. Try playing a multiplayer FPS with wired networking and compare with WiFi. Or simply use remote desktop with WiFi.
I usually choose to believe in "the honest mistake". It happens, two people walk in, one of them is the CEO, you assume it is the one on the right. And then when you realize it is a mistake, you apologize. We are only human.

But when it happens over and over and over, you can't help but feel frustrated. You realize that people natural instinct is to think you are the subordinate. One second your are on stage at Techcrunch (I was in 2017), where you have clearly introduced yourself. You get off-stage, they greet your colleague and ask him the questions as if he was on stage.

I was often in the interview room waiting for my interviewer, only to have him show up, and tell me I must be in the wrong room. A simple "Hey are you XYZ?" could have avoided this frustration.

I've written an article about my experience working as a black developer, I'll post it here in the near future. You wouldn't believe how lonely it is. In my team of 150 people, we were two black people.

I've always said if you can write Ruby/Scala, you can probably write simple Rust with very similar levels of productivity after you get past the initial learning curve. But apparently there's a sizable population that thinks Ruby/Scala is hard/confusing/sizable cognitive load too.

Well, that's good to hear. I guess I can only hope that a lot of employers think like you do!
Flagged for inciting criminal behavior.
It is racism (or sexism, but we'll stick with racism for the sake of rhetoric and the article) though. Calling it "not racism" is pandering to white fragility because people think of themselves as "not racist". Calling it "not racism" gives people an out to not confront their own internalized racism.

It's humiliating for the "victim" because this probably happens on a daily basis. Tell me that wouldn't kneecap your confidence to constantly have to correct people and massage their egos and reassure them you're not offended just so they give you money. It's forcing the victim to perform the emotional labor of remediating the offense. It's wrong and we let people off the hook far too easily for it.

Those "associative generalizations" are racism, sexism and homophobia in a nutshell. You (not you in particular, but yeah, kind of) have certain associations bound to race. Acknowledge it, confront those feelings, and deal with them. It's your problem, not theirs; yet we constantly give people a pass on their own internalized racism because the people who are systemically oppressed by said racism aren't really in a position to call them out.

I'm not saying you should be fired from your job or anything; just that you should acknowledge that your generalizations do harm to people. Educate yourself on the things they go through to build empathy. Don't make them do the work you should be doing yourself. And don't assume that because they're exhausted from dealing with this daily and so don't act offended that they're not harmed by it.

The anti-racism movement is about white people not giving other white people a pass for casual racism. We have forced marginalized people of color to do the work on this front for too long, when it's a problem within the white community. Expect to be called out aggressively on this stuff from here on out until you educate yourself on why it's harmful.

You accuse my argument ala the "Satya-Sundar fallacy" as specious because I use a few cherry picked examples to demonstrate demonstrate a general fact that isn't true? Also you suggest that language fluency might be a factor? Read the study [1]. Here's an abstract:

> Across nine studies (n = 11,030) using mixed methods (archival analyses of chief executive officers, field surveys in large US companies, student leader nominations and elections, and experiments), East Asians were less likely than South Asians and whites to attain leadership positions, whereas South Asians were more likely than whites to do so. To understand why the bamboo ceiling exists for East Asians but not South Asians, we examined three categories of mechanisms—prejudice (intergroup), motivation (intrapersonal), and assertiveness (interpersonal)—while controlling for demographics (e.g., birth country, English fluency, education, socioeconomic status). Analyses
revealed that East Asians faced less prejudice than South Asians and were equally motivated by work and leadership as South
Asians. However, East Asians were lower in assertiveness, which consistently mediated the leadership attainment gap between East Asians and South Asians. These results suggest that East Asians hit the bamboo ceiling because their low assertiveness is incongruent with American norms concerning how leaders should communicate. The bamboo ceiling is not an Asian issue, but an issue of cultural fit.

As for Hollywood - obviously there is plenty of discrimination based on names, accents, and much worse. My point is, if Asians tried as hard getting into Hollywood as they did in getting into Harvard, we would be in a completely different place right now. It's hard and unfair (just like getting into and ivy) but not impossible.

> Browsers have caught up to (almost) everything jquery does.

For me jQuery is mainly about an elegant, chainable API and all the DOM tools I'm likely to need on hand.

I understand there's a bit of bloat but there's also lighter jQuery-alikes.

I tried vanilla js recently and the native DOM APIs are fairly ugly in comparison with none of the quality of life stuff I got used to.

What am I missing?
What is the problem with jquery exactly? What is a person that hates the reactive frameworks with a passion to use nowadays?
> we can't make progress as a society until we own that discomfort and are willing to have frank conversations about racism.

I am all for having frank conversations, but I think the topic needs to be broader than "racism". It needs to be "systematic inequality of treatment". Or even better, "systematic violations of basic human rights". Then we can focus on why our society, which is supposed to be based on everybody having the same basic human rights, is not achieving that in practice, and how to fix it. Focusing on one particular group of people whose rights are being violated only distracts from that overall objective.
One of the biggest difficulties of ego in software comes from the difficulty of finding "the ground".

New languages are popular. Why are they popular? "Because they are better." But in every other domain of software we also say "The best technology doesn't always win." Why would languages be any different? What if Go is, in fact, Worse is Better? And if it's a Worse is Better, then what is the Right Thing?

Ultimately, I think most programmers, given enough experience, eventually settle on a style and propel the style through the language, not the other way around. And to that end, there can always be new languages so long as there are styles of coding that remain unaddressed.

But this is counterbalanced by the assumption of a rationalist project existing: that code is made to be shared, and to be shared, it must be standardized.

If one looks at the hardware/software ecosystem, it is not rationalist in the slightest, though. It is a merciless field of battle where vendors manuever against each other to define, capture, control, and diminish standards. The small ones seek to carry a new standard; the large ones absorb the standard into their empire.

Software bloat is a result of this: everything must go through a compatibility layer, several times, to do anything. Nobody understands the systems they use. With each wave of fresh grads, another set of careers is launched, and they join in on the game and add more to the pile.

In that light, rational standards do not exist. They are simply the manifest ego of "us and them", and therefore are mostly a detriment for all the reasons that ego is a detriment.

There exist several examples of excellent feature scaling from small codebases: VPRI STEPS, various Forth, Lisp, and Smalltalk systems, project Oberon, and microkernels such as Minix. The quality they all share is an indifference to standards: they are sometimes used where convenient, but are not an object of boasting.

Therefore I currently believe that developers should think of standards as reference material, not ends in themselves - that is, you use one if you can't come up with a better way of getting the result.
For sure. Bias is a much better word to use here, unless your goal is to project ill will on the person you describe.

That makes more sense to me. So they're not necessarily physically "stretched apart" when compressed, but they're still held in a higher energy state, and they want to move back towards lower energy state.
Going into fullscreen(F11) causes the video to zoom(i would say 50%) and causes a degradation in quality and a loss of field of view.
You’re missing out on societal costs as well. We as humans needed civilizations, eg farming, where one person could cultivate more than one persons food thereby freeing up time for others in the community to work on other things. If a community doesn’t have that the cost is too high to let one person whittle away days trying to invent.
Racism needs not be voluntary to be racism. You just learn to expect some things to be more probable than others, but are those heuristics really based on actual facts or just biases?

If you expect some kind of people to be in charge rather than others, it is a symptom of widespread racism/sexism in your environment. You doing the "mistake" does not mean you necessarily, actively, try to cause harm. But you still do, and this wouldn't happen if not for racism.

> Why would the person on the victim end of this feel humiliated?

For the person doing the mistake, it was one particular case of embarassment, for the victim it was Tuesday. The constant rate of mistakes make it humiliating.
> Blacks that believe cops are out to kill them will be more likely to resist arrest and get killed.

Statements like this make it clear that this opinion is either highly uneducated or clearly not in good faith.

Time and time again, black people in America will tell you that they have to sit their kids down and explain in fine grain detail what do to if the cops pull them over so they are not killed, a conversation virtually no white people have. People don't have death wishes.

And even when people cooperate to the letter, people who do everything right still get brutalized or killed regularly.

I love finding ways to talk about the world with my son, when i travel for work i get a small souvenir just so i have a physical object we can talk about from the place i’ve just been. Regarding your comment and after watching the London video it reminded me of our first trip as a family to London. We took electric black taxis all around the different sites in central London. I hadn’t planned on doing that but we had a tough stretch on the central line so the taxi was a welcome upgrade. Anyway my son loved the taxi, it is silent, has huge windows, glass roof and you really get to see London from inside. We did day time trips and ones at night. It was so good i tried to game taxi ranks to keep getting them. I think its good for children to have a worldview which is easy with youtube today.

What is wrong with reactive frameworks?
I would say:

- a framework provides a structure you fit your stuff into or build off of
- a library provides functionality you can fit into the structure of your code however you see fit

In the case of bootstrap, I think they use the term framework because it supplies layout and styling patterns you fit your page/app into. E.g., the grid, containers, forms with form-groups, the predefined "primary", "secondary", ..., styles, etc.
> And it is broken for months now.

[[citation needed]]. "Everyone knows" that type systems reduce bugs, but actual evidence for that is pretty weak.

It's an unnecessary dependency for those using different frameworks. Its imperative model is also very incompatible with the reactive model that's becoming more common in frontend (React etc).
To add to their reliability: I have been running it on my Synology NAS and my computers for six years now.

Some of the most successful blacks in tech had to 'hide' their blackness to achieve success. Robert Smith, the wealthiest black man in America, specifically didn't put up a photo on his investment firm's site to avoid any possibility of bias (now that he's a multi-billionaire who's "made it", this is no longer a concern).

Calendly, who's CEO is black, and is one of the top performing black led tech startups curiously doesn't have an about us page (and though I don't know the exact reason, I can only suspect why).

A very good friend of mine, a black woman in finance, had to have drinks with and entertain obnoxiously racist jokes from a potential white client to close the deal.

Black folks don't get the presumption of competence. You're assumed to be mediocre (or worse) until you can prove yourself exceptional.

We got a really similar issue.
Apple rules are that every app with subscription should use apple pay. They added an exception for content streaming app though (so netflix, spotify, etc...)
In our case (a small companion app to a web app which is the core of the service) they started rejecting everything saying we had to change our business model to have our customers using apple pay from now on. After finally being able to have more information other than "change your business model", they finally told us that, unless the user of the ios app is not the person who's supposed to pay, you have to go through apple pay and pay the apple tax.
In our case we had several plans, the cheapest being mono-user. In this case the user is always the customer as well indeed. The solution was in our case to prevent users on our cheapest plan to use the ios app. Not that it's a great solution... Another one we thought was to always offer at least 2 user accounts but the impact on our plans was too problematic.
I was sort-of hoping for this comment. What it boils down to is, what is easier? Storing hydrogen, or storing both CO2 and a hydrocarbon, or is there another way? With lots of caveats, because the chemistry isn't exactly the same. (I think there is another way, and it's ammonia and/or hydrazine.)

> Something like dissolving the CO2 in calcium hydroxide

That's terrible. Calcium carbonate needs to high heat to release CO2. Unless you want to leave CaCO3 well alone (that's the enhanced weathering concept), this is approximately the last compound you want to make. Simply storing liquid CO2 under pressure (80 bar or so? not nice, but doable) sounds much more appealing. (Ammonia is better in every respect, though.)
> I realize this when I go over it a second time and reduce line counts drastically by replacing my gee-whiz generics with primitive types.

I do this too, but I’ve also come to realize that fresh perspectives and newly learned patterns may be more of the reason than being a little over zealous.

Edit: forgot to mention that this happens to me in most languages, not just rust.
Just because they dropped the jquery dependency doesn't mean you can't use jquery anymore.
I don't get this argument. Apple built the platform, so they can set a price. Any price. Their platform, their decision. Companies like Basecamp can decide to distribute on that platform or not. It's Apple's prerogative to find the optimal fee, to pair with what companies are willing and able to pay.

Letting apps link out to websites for paywalls circumvents all of this. If I was in Apple's position I'd limit that as well.
Many Russian/Jewish emigrants (including me) feel similarly. To anyone who grew up under communism, the current thought climate is alarming. It's hard to explain to Western folks.
Thanks for the explanation. As a European observing from afar, I hadn't come across the BIPOC acronym until I started reading this thread. I was also unaware that police violence against native Americans was such big a problem as described in the CNN article.

> ICE was created by people who were voted on by the populace.

This is a highly debatable opinion.

> A corporation refusing to work with a legal entity really shows just how much power corporations now have.

Not really, everyone has always had a choice. It's just sometimes a choice that they cannot refuse. And, as far as choosing to only host "democrat" code, where would we like that line? At Chinese code? How about NK? What about environmental activists that US oil interests don't like? The scope of this argument is larger and pertains to how we would like to structure our means of production and about what actors we care to dis-incentivize and why. Since ICE systematically abuses its power over vulnerable people, I'd say "stop it by any means necessary, save further harm." If the corporation is a spear, then throw it; if the law is a sword, swing it. If people are being egregiously harmed in it, it is the duty of the people to end it.
Just chuckled at this.
How do I verify whether or not this is the case? Do I need to check the headers in the network inspector? (My guess is there's no way to check on mobile?)
jQuery solved the problem of browser compatibility and hard-to-use browser APIs. However browser api have improved a lot, with new apis sometimes modeled after jquery, and browser compatibility is much less of an issue. There is really isn't a reason to use jQuery over just vanilla javascript anymore.

I don't think it makes sense to use React and friends unless you are building Single Page Applications.

>As a result, Go is a language with first-class concurrency which one can get a grip of in a weekend

Which is a mess. Sending mutable objects over channels is anything but "proven concurrency story".

Both Rust and Haskell (and OCaml, if we talk about concurrency and not parallelism) have way better concurrency story than Go. I don't care how fast one could start to write concurrent and parallel code if this code is error prone.

The only difference between Rust/Haskell and Go is that the former force you to learn how to write the correct code, while the latter hides the rocks under the water, letting you hit them in production.

The point is that one framework should not depend on another. If you like jquery, no-one is stopping you using it.
