The problem with this "97% feels oppressive when you are used to 100%" view is that it's zero-sum. If we treat the racial disparity issue as a zero-sum problem, we practically guarantee the perpetuation of racial inequality and racial animosity. It takes away from individuals of one race in order to give advantages to individuals of another race, and that's rarely a recipe for a just, equitable, unified and harmonious society.

Nobody serious denies that individuals of the latter race were less likely compared to individuals of the former race to win a given prize amount in the lottery of birth, due to historical and ongoing slavery, Jim Crow and systemic racism, war on drugs/black families, etc. Most people believe that the historical and cultural context justifies giving members of the latter race help to "catch up".

The problem lies in the perceived taking away, factual or not: requiring higher test scores for individuals of your race for university admission, hiring less-qualified individuals of another race rather than well-qualified individuals of your race for the good corporate PR, etc. It's obvious that racial handicaps ensure a distributional qualification disparity among the races for accepted candidates. They also make it easy for candidates who don't make the cut, even if they would not have made the cut had they been members of the preferred race, to blame the preferred race for their failure. Whenever an individual of the preferred race makes a mistake or gets a bad grade or review, more people will assume that that person is simply unqualified, even if members of the non-preferred race actually make the same mistake/get the same grade/review at higher rates! As you note, this especially harms qualified members of the preferred race. The racial handicap is fertilizer for racists and sets up a pervasive subconscious racial bias that simply won't go away until the handicap is removed.

I think true progress will only be made once we avoid taking anything away or imposing any racial handicaps and gather the collective willpower to positively support disadvantaged people of all races. We need to ameliorate the stumbling blocks people face to fully developing the skills, personal character, and emotional and familial stability necessary to access opportunity.

Just FYI folks this is quality assurance, when one of the main devs is replying to the bottom comments on the HN thread.
I always felt strangely about it. It is quick, dirty, free, and easy, but the fact public docs hosted on Google Docs are very unstable, i.e. they don't get archived, and they're prone to removal by the writer at any moment, or by Google if either it breaks rules or if they get asked to by law enforcement/governments, I don't trust the URL to stay the same (not sure why), accessibility is poor, some docs require to be logged into google (and this also means identities are tracked) and they're not indexed. The list helps but I imagine it's quite a lot of work to keep it up, and in a year from now will be abandoned.

I can't say a static webpage is any better, since that requires quite a bit of know-how, hosting costs, and other in-conveniences than just making the google doc public.

I also feel confused when celebrities et al. share their deep thoughts, apologies, outcries, and other information by screen-shotting a story written in their phone's notes app and posting the images, but there really isn't anything simpler and more reliable than that (since writing in non-native apps, especially iOS, tend to reset themselves and delete your text if you exit the app for too long).

But back in those very heterogeneous days (don’t forget go throw in Alpha and MIPS!) - computers running more exotic processors like SPARC were workstation-class and their manufacturers were responsive to requests from the SE community - so while I share your lack of concern about heterogeneity - I am concerned that Apple won’t be making their ARM platform the best for developer workloads (at least, non-iOS, non-macOS workloads) - remember that besides freeing them from Intel’s slower release schedule, Apple’s other main incentive for adopting ARM is to ensure their computers have a great performance-per-watt ratio but with a low power budget. I know their latest A-series chips are very, very competitive (sorry, I mean: mopping the floor) with Intel’s current mainstream chips, Apple’s expertise is still with low-power mobile devices - I’m not convinced Apple will be switching away from Xeon Chips in the MacPro or i7 (i9?) chips in the high-end MBPs - but most SEs I know using MBPs have their 13-inch models which are moving to ARM right away.

In short: I feel Apple’s consumer-oriented direction is starting to be at-odds with what they need to do in order to remain a compelling general development platform.

Remember that macOS became a favourite for web-application development only around 12-13 years ago (prior to that it was seen as an OS for creative-types) - because they were selling nice hardware with an equally nice Unix-family OS with a compelling desktop experience - take a look at typical Linux desktop distros from around the same time: visual eyesores and incompatible with most laptops thanks to OEM driver issues. Apple wasn’t specifically targeting software developers at all - they were even showing ominous signs of disinterest by discontinuing their X Windos server and going-back on their promise of establishing Java as a pillar of the OS.

With the move to ARM on laptops I think Apple will just lock-down the bootloader and won’t look back.

What’s funny now is Windows 10’s WSL and Windows Terminal, Docker support, etc are suddenly making Microsoft look good as an OS for writing code for non-Microsoft platforms. And at least with a Windows laptop - even ARM Windows laptops - you can tinker with the bootloader and fire-up Slackware if you really wanted to.
I second that. Why is it so hard to have something similar to a mac pro? My wish list: Good screen, around 15", 4k or at least more than 1080p, non-glare or glare-reduced, good, large touchpad, not too thick or heavy, usb-c charging, webcam.

Up to 64GB RAM (more than more people need), up to 4TB of fast NVMe SSD storage (more than most people use), an NVIDIA 8GB RTX 2080 GPU (you know, for training deep learning models on the road, if you ever feel like it), every port you could ever need and more (includes USB 3.2 Type-C w/Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2 powered and unpowered, SD Card Reader, Wired Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI w/HDCP, Mini DisplayPort 1.4, regular Thunderbolt 3 -- it can be connected to everything), all in a fairly slim 4-5lb package.

It's awesome to see Coreboot on a laptop with discrete graphics.

Sadly, though, this is a bittersweet deal imo, since you will get NVIDIA's trademark Linux experience, including binary blobs that occasionally prevent you from updating to the latest stable kernel and practically being stuck with Xorg for the rest of your life. I understand that NVIDIA simply has the best options (or at least, that would be my guess) but it's hard to still not be a little disappointed since I've been having a great time with AMDGPU on my desktop, running Wayland, up-to-date kernels and having great system stability.

Yeah it seems strange, like is this better for right handed people or left handed people when using the touchpad somehow I feel like it would depend on whether you use your right hand or left hand... I know in my case on a macbook pro, I use my right hand to mouse around and that is a stretch for my hands to reach down and to the left from my right hand which is ackward... as a vim user I value the idea of moving my hands as little as possible so the touchpad is definitely better then a mouse but still a last resort feature... still if it's further from my hand i dont' see how that could be good... but having it on the left side maybe if i was left handed the stretch would be somehow more optimized... but seems odd most people are right handed right? At least 70% from one google search indicates this is the case so yeah it makes no sense to me why a touchpad should not be centered or if anything biased towards the right side or ideally a configuration option...
I fail how to see how I could be doing either.

"[W]e need to stop it with the stringly-typed, footgun-filled madness that is bash scripting" is pretty categorical.
It’s not that simple if that code is using explicit struct layouts or x86/x64 intrinsics.

Forgive my ignorance though - but what ISA extensions are in Apple’s ARM chips for SIMD? Intel poured a lot of effort into SSE+AXE - Does Apple have a compete there?
> I love that this is a professional laptop that comes with a 144hz screen. But 1080p? Not even 1920x1200? Boo..

Yeah. 16:9 screens are frankly unprofessional. They're for gaming and movies, not work. Give us a 16:10 (like Apple and a handful of other vendors still use).
There’s a finite number of tech workers in the known universe, so that isn’t necessarily true.
One benchmark would be to track down a python/JS/etc based "hello world" demo container. Base one version on Intel and the other on ARM, and measure each versions container build-time and request latency after it is set-up.

Bash is weakly typed, which is a different concept than dynamic typing.

> And it's not a refutation at all, because the examples you cite are themselves restricted to particular jurisdictions (and I'm sure of this because I spent the past ten years travelling the entire world and never saw anything of the magnitude I've seen coming from the west during that period), and the incidents are far more excessive breaches of the local cultural etiquette in incidents where they do end up causing outrage

I've travelled the world too, but with my eyes open :)
In that time I've visited countries where literal lynch mobs hunt people accused of participating in the beef trade or having sex before marriage, countries where the mildest of perceived criticisms of royalty will earn you a minimum three year jail term in addition to the lasting enmity of locals, and countries with excruciatingly forced politeness and elaborate systems of honorifics which are a lot harder to grasp than she/her. Those are the nominal democracies, not the ones with supreme leaders or religious absolutists. And there's still well over a quarter of the world where homosexuality isn't merely grounds for firing and shaming your family, but also a criminal offence. Perhaps you believe these cultural norms are more intrinsically worth defending than politeness towards transpeople, but it's safe to say that culture warriors who've been no-platformed by the side of the 'trans debate' they want to silence are raking in donations rather than languishing in jails.

So I'm afraid I find it laughable to hear that people who espouse illiberal views on minorities in the West are unique in the magnitude of their victimhood because they might attract so much attention their book becomes a bestseller or they become elected President of the United States.

One of the consequences of greater levels of free speech is greater exposure to criticism, justified and otherwise.

> But she said that during sex, Assange had intentionally broken the condom. If that is true, then it is, of course, a sexual offense – so-called «stealthing».

According to Swedish law, stealthing is rape. So even if neither of the women believe that they were raped, if the circumstances they describe would be seen as rape according to Swedish law, then Assange should be investigated.

However, Assange should definitely have retained anonymity during those investigations.

The Swedish police have been pretty incompetent (it certainly wouldn't be the first time [1]), but it is highly misleading to claim that the rape story was completely fabricated.

> A legal representative by the name of Claes Borgström was appointed to the two women at public cost. The man was a law firm partner to the previous justice minister, Thomas Bodström, under whose supervision Swedish security personnel had seized two men who the U.S. found suspicious in the middle of Stockholm. The men were seized without any kind of legal proceedings and then handed over to the CIA, who proceeded to torture them. That shows the trans-Atlantic backdrop to this affair more clearly.

The "Egypt affair" is well-known in Sweden precisely because it's the only such case. It happened shortly after 9/11 in 2001 and the people responsible for it are no longer involved in politics (the Minister for Foreign Affairs who ultimately made the decision to deport Ahmed Agiza and Muhammad Alzery has been dead since 2003 [2]).
So to make the claim that Assange would automatically have been extradited to the US had Sweden arrested him is not a fair claim to make imo.

Like I wrote earlier: the police have definitely mishandled the case, but I doubt that there's been any kind of conspiracy involved from the start.

One way to work around the arbitrariness of city limits would be to only count the population living within a fixed distance of the city center. I would suggest 5 or 6 km, which is approximately the distance that your can comfortably walk in 1 hour, and also (perhaps not coincidentally) the approximate radius of Paris. This would get you a list of dense cities, which is probably what people are imagining when they thing of "large" cities.

Another way would be to count everyone as part of the population of whatever city they are physically closest to, without regard to political boundaries. But this would probably just get you a list of sprawling metropolitan areas.

Hrmmm... we have very different experiences with Turbolinks. Maybe older versions were more like that, but v5 is definitely not. Turbolinks doesn't look at the page at a node level, it replaces the <body> tag outright for each visit. You may want to turn Turbolinks off for a specific link, or make a DOM element that holds some sort of JS-driven state permanent across page loads, but there's really not much you _can_ do on a node level and the times you do use those things are certainly the exception, not the rule.
A Python script is (generally) easier to read, easier to write, easier to modify/maintain, easier to debug and easier to test.

Bash programming is not easy and full of loads of gotchas.

Useful for running multiple commands but when you start to need to do programming things like conditionals/loops/variables then using an actual programming language makes more sense.
