The other way is to rely on labels rather than names. But I don't see every distro switching to selinux with per-flatpak/snap policies, so it's going to be have to be joined installation and sandboxing.
All this 'removed' terminology is double standard. The entire name of the "git" project is offensive.

From wikipedia [1]

Git is a term of insult with origins in English denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person.

Slavery isn't always racist, by the way. Sometimes it's religious or nationalist. Since we're talking about context, it's good to understand the enormous range of people who could be offended by seeing slavery references at work.

In an event when CPUs become spare part, computing devices should be designed to allow fast repare or even hot-swap. Similar to HDDs, one can maintain a constant supply of CPUs in store that allows to change wore out parts fast without devices being rebooted or service interrupted, anytime. This will solve all the longitivity issues while supporting sales on the expense of extra work/labour. Win-win.

I don't really care much about what the branches are named at the end of the day. However, I do find it concerning that we're so bothered by appearances that a term of art in multiple industries is being made to appear unsavory (and considering the general tone of the comments I've seen, it seems that is also manufactured dissent.)

If we had a master/slave situation going on I could understand an uproar. However, it's really the 'Master' copy, which basically means 'Original' or 'Source of truth'

I totally agree with Kingh32 from the reddit thread posted by another commenter below. This whole thing seems like a distraction so we can feel good about changing something without having to actually solve any hard problems or make any substantial changes.
How can we further decentralize this such that the entire app runs "without any servers"? Sadly it is so close but the realities of ipv4 and local subnets definitely makes this more difficult. I always thought that this is part of what webrtc was trying to solve

How so? All the old legacy apps that nobody wants to (or can) recompile were just jettisoned in the 64 bit transition, as TFA duly noted.

"In retrospect, the move to 64-bit software may have been made not just for its own sake, but in contemplation of the ARM transition."
Don't do weird setup on Windows or Mac locally.

Just get a native Linux through virtualization like VirtualBox or VMware or WSL (maybe wait for WSL2) and run Ubuntu in it. You'll find it makes sense when you want to deploy stuff on the cloud on Ubuntu with mostly identical environment.

Sounds risky; surely this will break a lot of systems.

I'm not suggesting there is one and only one solution to any given problem at all. That's the scoreboard. How does the USA do compared to other rich countries with long established democracies. My read on it is most americans want to be first on that scoreboard. Badly want it. Most americans can't and don't believe how badly they're going in certain benchmarks. These are the benchmarks. This is the story. Americans can fix it, of this I have no doubt. I'm sure that it can be fixed without embracing socialism in /any/ way if that's how americans choose to go. All they need to do is say "Here is the scoreboard - let's get fixed. Let's try something and if that doesn't work let's try something else and not rest until we get it done in a way that works with our views as Americans and preserves all the stuff we hold dear."

I have no doubt that American can-do and talent will get it done.

None.

Just decide what it is, what the scoreboard looks like and get it done as Americans the American way.

By the same logic, it seems pretty reasonable that any useful belief would become similarly protected.

As a belief proves its usefulness over time, why would it not become more deeply embedded and protected? Even if it does not require more defenses to be maintained (like the wrong-but-useful belief in the post), a long-held belief should have proven itself useful enough to form defenses around itself.

I think it's worth noting that old people tend to be both stuck in their ways, and frequent victims of scams. Maybe critical thinking declines when you have 80 years of experience to back up your belief system.
32 bit Carbon was deprecated in 2012. Did it really take a rocket scientist to know that you shouldn’t be writing 32 bit software in 2017? 10 years after the last 32 bit Mac shipped?
I think we need to get to the point where the term “racist” is not used as a generic catch-all for anything race-related.

In this case, the argument is not that the term “master” is inherently racist. This term has a vast number of legitimate and completely non-racial usages throughout the English language.

Rather, the argument is that in this case the term tends to remind folks of slavery, and that is an uncomfortable thing to be reminded of. That doesn’t mean the term is now “racist”.

Now, why folks feel reminded of slavery due to this usage but not the countless other usages of the term is not something I personally understand. I don’t think of slavery when I hear the term “master’s degree”, and I don’t think of slavery when I hear the term “master branch.” But it’s not really my place to take issue with what terms in which contexts call to mind slavery for other people.

I do think it would be useful to do some surveys and figure out if this is something that is actually common before making such a widespread breaking change.
> it's not a master that bosses all the other branches around

That's not the only sense of the word "master". There are several, but the one used in git's case is that of a copy or instance from which all other copies are made.
Interesting. Depending on the percentages and methodology, that sounds like a reasonable argument for deprioritizing multiple tab performance.

That said, what you're saying is, "In practice, users don't have a lot of tabs open", which is very different from what I was responding to, which was "users shouldn't have a lot of tabs open".
There's a big difference between buying a flight ticket and insuring it because of the possibility of its delay increasing your costs which you want to avoid and buying a flight ticket and insuring it because of the probability of its delay earning you a reward which you are actively seeking out in your choice of flights

It's the difference between buying flood disruption insurance because you operate in an occasionally flooded area, and moving your stock to wherever there's a flood warning. Particularly in this case, where the woman cancelled her expected on-time tickets because the tickets had no value to her except as a source of insurance payouts.

Consumer insurance is not exactly the same as stock options: it's not supposed to be a perfectly efficient market. Insurers are often operating under rules which prevent them from denying or repricing insurance due to relevant risk factors and likewise premium holders are usually bound by far more terms and conditions preventing them from taking actions which might change the value of their policy than stocks or futures markets.
I am not Asian and don't live in the US but i think you're forcing it a little on the drama.

Sure the first Asians immigrants didn't have it easy. But since the 70s, Asian people benefit from a positive stereotype overall.

I remember watching a show in which Indian scientist Yash Pal had proclaimed that number to be zero.

Anything goes wrong, Windows keeps running on the 14nm processor and you can swap the co-processor.
I'll add one I forgot: outlaw any incentives to do "more policing" or more incarceration than nacessary. Fines should never end up in the hands of a local department. Any benefits provided by e.g. private prison companies to local police departments should be investigated as organized crime.

If there is an incentive program doing measurements it must never be measurements of "number of arrests" or similar. It should be measurements of job approval instead.

I've improved myself hard for 10 years and feel lonely now – what should I do?
Ten years ago, i was very shy, naive and could not focus on a thing for more than 10 minutes. Somehow i got annoyed by being a looser and started to improve my self as fast as possible. i have read lots of books about efficiency, health, intelligence and life. Spent a lot time in the gym and took care about my nutrition. Now, i have a decent salary, a beautiful wife and probably everything that someone would describe as a pretty nice life. I can focus for 2 hours without a problem, burn 1000 calories in the gym within an hour and my life is pretty much optimized in terms of efficiency.

When i compare myself to what i was 10 year ago, i am pretty much ashamed of how much i was behind. And i wish that everyone could have such an improvement. If i could choose between 10 million dollars but being how i was 10 years ago and staying how i am today, i would always choose the version of today without a thought.

The problem that i have now, is that i get annoyed by all the inefficiencies others have. And when i try to help someone to get more efficient, i always see that they are too lazy to sacrifice a little of their comfort zone. Even my wife is lazy. She witnesses day by day how easily i go through life and how little issues i have. But she is not willing to improve or change herself much. I guess they are satisfied with their plateau. Most of my friends are nice and funny, but i can not have much interesting discussions with them. Event with the ones that hold PhD's.

Does anyone has a similar experience? And what did you do to not have the feeling that meeting friends or going to a party is a waste of time?
I think I addressed it pretty clearly before.

If a regular consumer can "reasonably" deduce (using logic, not some "illegal" insider knowledge) at the time of buying the insurance policy that the flight may be cancelled then the insurance company employing experts and very accurate statistical models can more than reasonably make the same deduction.

Now since we agree that both parties deduced the flight will be cancelled but the company still went ahead and took the money for the insurance contract, this can only be fraud. The company took the money under false pretenses since they implicitly know even before the transaction that the claim is null and void under the "reasonable deduction" paragraph.
“Insurance is not a financial instrument”

That’s just not correct. There are plenty of insurance policies where people buy them as an investment with the hope of profiting off the payout when the insured asset has a loss. Credit default swaps being one such instrument.

Not saying that’s a good thing, but it certainly exists.

The scores of fake identities was clearly wrong but just “gaming the system” is generally not a crime. Look up the story about chocolate pudding and airlines.

Back when CDs paid a real return and credit cards gave free cash advances with 6 plus months no interest (neither of which exist anymore) had a lot of friends that would just use their good credit to get a bunch of cards, get “free” cash for 6 months, buy a CD with it (Sometimes from the same bank that gave them the free cash!) and just sit back and let the bank send them free money... then pay off the card when the CD matured after 6 months.

It was totally gaming the system but if the banks were dumb enough to let it happen then it’s sort of on them at some level.
My understanding is that the FAA sites aren't as useful as they could be for weather forecasting. Apparently many sites are too close to the ground, so the temperature data and dewpoint data is unusable for mesoscale analysis. Sometimes the dewpoint is above the air temperature, for example, which is impossible. It doesn't really matter for air traffic, but it does matter for forecasting storms.

If you are interested in the wind direction or the height of the cloud bases, the aviation weather stations are OK. If you are interested in temperature data, you will have to look elsewhere. (Many states have observation sites designed for weather purposes. The Oklahoma Mesonet was the first, but other states have them too. Often these sites have very interesting information, like soil moisture and temperature, and temperatures at varying heights above the ground: http://www.nysmesonet.org/about/sensors http://www.mesonet.org/index.php/site/about/instruments)
I wonder how many of us who started on the "wrong" language or outdated tooling were actually handicapped by doing so in the long run. I started on BASIC, the kind with line numbers.

So, for the example you provide the only contradictory claims come from accounts that have very few followers. The few posts saying "she was throwing things" have fewer than 10 followers.

But, also, rubber bullets are less lethal, not non lethal, and so they should be reserved for situations where life is at risk. If she wasn't throwing molotov cocktails or bricks they shouldn't have used rubber bullets on her.

The other claim is that she was pregnant and thus shouldn't have gone. This is incoherent: we want protests to be non-violent, so we want pregnant women and children to be able to attend.
> both the teens and these adults lack the skills and literacy needed to navigate potential risks.

I'd argue that this is common across the globe, not limited to Nigeria. Very few people bother to take the time to understand the implications and the true dangers of the internet are. Even till this day, I'm pretty sure that most people think "oreo" when they see the cookies banners... If anything, I'd argue children are more likely to know the difference. And there are the limited cases where some children surprise with how well they are aware of what is going on, at least on a fundamental level. Deep down, very limited number of people can tell, the rabbit hole has become ridiculously big.
Show HN: Pyctuator – Monitor Python Web Apps Using Spring Boot Admin
Hey HN, Wanted to share with you our first Open Source project here in SolarEdge.

Pyctuator is a Python implementation of the Spring Actuator API, with one-line integrations for Flask and FastAPI applications. Once integrated, you can easily leverage existing Spring Boot Admin instances to monitor your Python app.

This is useful if you're a Java shop that needs to quickly spin up a Python microservice (e.g. for Machine Learning). Until you set up a proper monitoring solution for your new Python microservice, you can integrate Pyctuator and use your existing monitoring infrastructure.

We acknowledge this might be a niche use-case, but it has been tremendously helpful for us as a Java shop to be able to quickly spin up some Python microservices when we needed some of Python's power in the ML world.

On a personal note, this release is very exciting for me. I've been leading the Open Source initiative in SolarEdge for the past few months, with the goal of contributing back to the community which is so valuable to us and the rest of the industry.

This is just our first project, with more projects coming soon. Hopefully this initiative would grow to a substantial contribution to the Open Source world.

Would be happy to answer questions and get some feedback!

For those saying that "master" as used in git has nothing to do with master/slave: Git was made to replace bitkeeper which had (has?) the concepts of master/slave repositories:

Edit: to those down-voting ... keep hitting the down arrow, maybe reality will go away and you won't be inconvenienced by it anymore.
You're thinking of the wrong definition of master. Git's master refers to the primary copy of something from which derivative copies are made. E.g. In casting, a master is used to form new molds[1]. In audio engineering, a master tape holds the final mix of a recording[2]. (Incidentally, this is where the term remastering comes from, because you are creating a new master version.)

Again, an argument nobody is making. Nobody argued that the US doesn’t spend money on healthcare, education or housing. The disconnect is in how/where that money is spent.

In healthcare, for example, we have created specific socialized programs for each at-risk population: VA for veterans, Medicare for the elderly, Medicaid for the poor, and CHIP for children. Meanwhile, everyone else is forced to enter the private marketplace.

In education, we’ve drawn lines which make a “per capita” number meaningless. If I spend $15k on one kid and $5k on another, my per capita spending is $10k. That doesn’t tell me anything about the spending each kid received. When you mostly fund schools through local property taxes, areas with higher property values can afford better schools. If spending didn’t matter, we wouldn’t consistently see the richest areas spending the most. They obviously see a correlation between the spending and student success.
I'd prefer it if things didn't change, including master/slave terminology (the 'master' branch doesn't even have a 'slave' in git...)

Have the words themselves become bad to use? It seems that this is a USA centric view anyway with its history (and even then it seems ridiculous--why can't these things be compartmentalised as technical terms?)

Slavery certainly still exists in the world, and has existed in most places at some point.
Should we rename 'slavery' to something else too while we're at it? Or forget it exists and existed?

Certainly certain terms become antiquated over time, like the vocabulary used in Emacs (yank/buffer/etc vs cut/window/tab/...), but master/slave doesn't seem to be there yet.

I wonder if there's some way to counteract this newspeak stuff?
I think it's harmful that these things happen for such frivolous reasons.
Does one just have to be as loud as the minority that drives these things, to counteract it?
Not sure what you're trying to say.

If _we_ found a loophole that took money away from the big boys, we would be criminals.

Look no further than Nav Singh for proof. He was taking money away from the HFTs and was criminalized for it.
