It should be pointed out that life in Hong Kong is definitely not markedly better for young people than it was for their parents.
The terms have racial undertones which are more pronounced than they ought to be due to the current political environment.

The master/slave term is an accurate metaphor for the technology, and we can infer that no racial discrimination is intended by its usage.

We have to assume people who are performing intelligent work are capable of nuance and discretion.

And for people working on serious problems in science and technology, in order for them to progress effectively, they need to be insulated from silly little identity politics intrusions like this.
Except in the latest version of Firefox it looks fine. A little crazy making... looks like an HTML encoding issue but we don't have access to that source.
Yeah, I'm not sure.

I've posted a similar comment for the last couple of month (we're still hiring). It's possible I haven't gotten back to everyone, if so, I'm sorry! We do get a lot of applications and we don't get back to each one of them.
Yeah not gonna argue with you there. NXP has kind of muddied up all the product families with variants on core count and coprocessors.

The iMX6 used to be single, dual, (solo/duallite), quad. Done. Now there's what - 5 other variants? 7?
Excellent point. That sailed right over my head, personally.
I dont know that I agree there is no racism in the laws. The War on Drugs is littered with laws that seem to have no other explanation that targeted racism. The most well known example is the Sentencing disparity between Crack and Cocaine.

I would agree that not everything that is claimed to be racism based is in fact racism based, alot of it is Class based as well. But to say there is NO racism in the law is also an position that is not supported by the historical record

To be honest, the technical problems are the easy thing in most companies since they just need a simple CRUD app and anything you do will be magic to most people regardless.

The politics are the difficult part of most work in this industry. Everyone has an agenda (which is not a bad thing) and serving multiple agendas will make your technical problems even worse.
One way to look at it is that 5% of all B-2s ever built have crashed.
IDEs are great for the early stages of a project, but once it hits production, this is the only debugging flow that has ever worked for me:

1. Read the logs.

2. Read the code that produced the logs.

Well, now is the time for a clean sheet design. There isn't going to be any near term demand anyway.

When production really kicks in ten years from now, the world will look different - everybody is flying really old gas guzzler planes.
The part about spreads being smaller because machines are making markets is true, but there are important caveats. The one that comes to mind first is that the tight market is only there for small quantities. If you want to trade in size, then you are out of luck.

Machine based market making tends to work well when markets are operating "normally". When some regime-changing news comes out, it's not uncommon for the over-fit algorithms to perform badly so the managers just turn them off. I.e. liquidity disappears just when it's needed most.

I said "One example: Credit card issuers have been known to take into account places that you have made purchases in assessing risk. If you shop at businesses that are primarily frequented by minorities, odds are you'll get a lower credit limit than if you didn't"

You asked for a source.

I provided a source of the same. Yes, things like purchase histories are used as proxies for race and used to deny credit to mostly people of color.

Then you go here:

> Credit Card applications do not ask for race.

which was never asserted.

> I suspect it’s more likely based on zip code or similar.

Yes, zip code can be another proxy for race.

Thing is, with a consul or triumvirate system (you can’t have more than one “dictator”; all of these terms are from Ancient Rome anyway so let’s use them properly), if any disagreement arises between the 2 or 3 leaders, it will develop a new instability where there wasn’t one before. Or else, one of the 2-3 leaders will start to dominate the others. Even without turnover the dictator system is more stable. In fact the only benefit of a consul or triumvirate system might be the stability and continuity under turnover.

I think it's highly industry and probably project dependent.

If company policy is that "we use X", then probably you're not going to have many people stray from that. The bigger the organization, the more likely you are to have strict guidelines in place like that.

I would guess people on Windows are also less likely to reach for Vim than any of the many other alternatives. If you're using Linux, you probably have a different view on the world to begin with, and are more likely to go with vim over whatever is the "new hot editor". I've heard Mac users like to reach for XCode, but I don't actually know many developers outside of work, and none of them use Macs, so I don't know.

> I'm just abso[lutely] mindboggled by the current liberal idea of literally an[y] regulation is always great and any removal of any regulation always respons[i]ble for the next crisis.

> ...Sim[i]larly the view that all regulation exist for a good reason is also flat-out false.

You're boggling your own mind, since that's a straw man position. I made it clear I didn't hold it ("the thing about regulations is you can always cherry-pick a couple mind-boggling stupid ones..."), and I don't think "liberals" hold it either.

The position I do hold is that to actually evaluate a particular regulation is difficult and requires a lot of thought; and it's easy to to mislead someone into taking an ignorant, broadly anti-regulation stance by cherry-picking examples of bad ones. I've seen a lot of that, and at one time I even found the cherry-picking persuasive.

Deregulatory zeal has a tendency of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Also, some specific cases of deregulation can merely re-introduce negative externalities that some connected group stands to benefit from (to the determent of the public good).

Corporations won't stop outsourcing because of reason, but they will stop outsourcing because of feelings.

I like to hammer down on issues with contractors by basically minimizing the issue: "who cares if our customers couldn't access our product for 3 hours due to an outage? we're saving so much money by outsourcing!".

It's a simple way to get people on your side because noone would like to agree that 3 hours of outage is a good thing.
So, I am also not a lawyer, and also not giving you legal advice. I do have some legal background and some HIPAA background.

This tool would fall under HIPAA compliance. In that, it doesn't matter if you know who has access to the data. The only thing that matters is that the holder of the data knows who has access to the data and whether those with access have proper training, metrics, and monitoring for the data. There are a lot of If's in this area.

If the data is anonymized, then there are a number of requirements that disappear.

If the data is not anonymized, then it must be kept for a certain period of time.

If the data is saved, it must be encrypted on ingress, egress, and at rest according to the HIPAA plan of the provider.

If... if... if...

There are a lot of considerations here. However, you don't actually get to know any of those things. The only part you get to know is whether they say "We are HIPAA Compliant". And if they say that and you disagree, you can make a complaint with the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Don't expect to get very many answers.

The story of how a merited upper caste lost out to an unqualified reserved caste is another misleading anecdotal argument. Even merited reserved caste people face the same accusation. I have anecdotes for that as well, but I've never seen the accusers accept that there are merited lower castes. But what is revealing is the demography of the upper hierarchy of the government positions. There are progressively more upper castes as go up the hierarchy -with almost all institutional heads being a sharma, verma or gupta. And it has nothing to do with merit either. It's a result of systematic discrimination, harassment and office politics against lower castes. It's evident in their discrimination against the customers too - if you ever accessed a government service. It's all too evident to even deny. This is prevalent even in elite educational institutions [1]. The instances of this injustice far outnumber the ones you talk about - even neglecting that meritorious lower castes face discrimination. Even the rich lower castes don't get to compete on a level playing field - your caste determines your opportunities, not economic status.

As for the supreme court judge's comment - they are not all that righteous or infallible. The SCI is infamous for decisions that favour super rich or conservative ideology. The same problem of upper caste domination politics exist among the judges too - just check the list of chief justices [2]. The solution the justice gave doesn't address the representation and bias problems that reservation is supposed to solve.

I am aware of TERFs, I currently live in a country where they recently managed to convince the Prime Minister to harass us in order to split the opposing party (which has multiple factions and where the primary reason they stay together is similar opinions on workers' rights) which had started gaining footing.

I also very much disbelieve that they constitute any of the left, given that the left largely won't talk to them or acknowledge the validity of their ideas, and they tend to wind up making deals with right-wing anti-feminist (even anti-cisgender-woman) organisations to push their agenda.

Calling yourself a "feminist" doesn't make you one, especially when you stomp on other women's hard-earned rights and privileges in order to pursue your goal of burying "men".

Find me a TERF who openly supports Black Lives Matter and spends a bunch of time advocating for women's rights other than the oppression of trans women, and I'll eat my hat.

EDIT: On the other hand, Black Lives Matter groups by and large support trans folk, at least in words. Black Lives Matter UK: "All forms of oppression are interrelated, you cannot be for Black lives if you do not emphatically support the cause for Black queer lives, Black trans lives [and] the lives of Black women." - and this demo: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/15/black-trans-... - and this trans person who cofounded a part of BLM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elle_Hearns

When you install bash-completion on your system, usually a function is defined to autocomplete make rules for you. It works with all projects, as it does not rely on the rules being specially marked. (https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/blob/master/completi...)

Before I knew about it, I had written a similar thing:

# Autocomplete make rules
_make () {
local cur prev words cword cmdline
_init_completion || return

# command to generate the rules
words="$(make -pRrq |\
awk -v RS= -F: '/^# File/,/^# Finished Make data base/ {if ($1 !~ "^[#.]") {print $1}}' |\
sort | egrep -v -e '^[^[:alnum:]]' | xargs)"

COMPREPLY+=( $( compgen -W "$words" -- $cur) )
}
if declare -f _init_completion > /dev/null; then
complete -F _make make
fi

It relies on `make -pRrq`, that is a very useful command to debug your makefiles, especially in a big project. The option `-p` prints the make data-base, -R and -r removes the implicit rules and variables, and -q indicates only asking make a question about current state, avoid executing anything.

Well, it worked for a time, but the bash-completion one is nicer (though much, much more complex). Very nice however to know about `-pRrq`, definitely helps when working on big projects.
I agree. I think platforms are hard and after more than a decade of seeing it done every which way I fully understand that every company ends up building the identical thing and it just needs to exist as a product at this point. Heroku took too much away and AWS gave too much back. In another decade from now the model will be different once again but I have become quite frustrated with the way we're building software and have not seen a solution I like, so thought it was easier just to build it.
Not brainwashed, but socialized. In East Asian countries and China especially, collectivism and Confucianism are pervasive, with deep cultural roots. The CCP is, of course, supporting and reinforcing those ideals, but it's just as much simply taking advantage of the pre-existing culture. Just like how the US is strongly culturally capitalist and individualistic -- as we value bootstraps capitalism and the "American Dream", the people of mainland China value supporting each other and the state, even when it's not explicitly in their best interests.

I believe that in all countries in Europe, there's a requirement that the pay be at market level to avoid the exploitation of immigrants (there's no distinction based on country of origin as you seem to imply), and that the job be advertised first with the EU's job agency (whatever that is called, I forgot now) and EU citizens are able to apply before an immigrant may be allowed to apply and take the job.

If UK had not switched recognition from ROC to PRC, they could have returned it to ROC instead.

UK could have demanded a lease renewal from PRC as the price for switching recognition. Instead they just got some “alliance” against the Soviets and it is questionable what that actually delivered.
