> I haven't met an Indian American who actively contemplates caste.

At a startup, we had a couple of Indian engineers on the team (pretty common), but they would frequently converse with each other in Hindi. Eventually one of them left the company, and in his exit interview he revealed that the other guy was constantly harassing him about his caste.
You're not. It's glorified without any substance.

Why is something like this, with its silicon and sulphur atoms as part of the backbone, needed? Why wouldn't the same but with a more typical fully-carbon backbone work? If it's too complex a question, skip it, but thanks if you can shed light.

Maybe VimR (gui for neovim) or neovim + VSC will work.

„... pressing ahead with government plans after he said his family was insulted online“

That’s how you frame your readers. The author doesn’t know whether there’s causal relation between the possible insult and the plans to control the social platforms. But this is how media tricks the readers in thinking so.
What second or third order effects might happen? I’m not saying the status quo is the only reasonable equilibrium, but if you take the profit motive out of something (anything), I worry that you’ll get fewer of society’s resources directed towards that area. Maybe that’s money, attention of the brightest/most creative thinkers, willingness to do the outright drudgery required to invent, perceived status of the field, etc.

If you want a lot of drug research, you probably want to ensure that successful drug research is lucrative. (Maybe less than today, maybe making unsuccessful research or negative reproduction more lucrative than today.)

> What is more dangerous to society than white nationalists, are social media websites that want to be our public spaces for discussion while also policing which ideas are acceptable to talk about.

White nationalists kill and social media websites share some part of the blame. To say that the more pressing issue is that they police which ideas are acceptable is laughable when you consider the great extend they allow for extreme views. There are literally still holocaust denies still allowed on their platforms.

In this case, the very existence of teams is an invention of those who managed to make a career as team leaders. By prefacing your statements with an explicit allegiance to a team, you're in fact endorsing whoever is presenting him/herself as the team leader.

This is purely a power game in which some individuals have managed to blackmail everyone else into recognising their role or being cancelled. Now and then someone prominent needs to be attacked to remind the others what they risk if they don't fall in step.
There’s no such thing as a private Discord. It’s not end to end encrypted, and all Discord “servers” are actually just Discord hosting accounts (and hosted by Discord), so they can always read 100% of everything.

And, my point is that as passive bystanders, we don't have any input into the agreement that those two parties arrive at for their arbitrary value. As long as they both are consenting, and satisfied with the exchange, it is ethical whatever value they decide.

Ask HN: Blog post around cloud issues
I saw a blog post sometime ago here from a systems engineer where she described the issues about using cloud infrastructure. And how badly optimised code is racking up costs whereas back in the day there was more focus on making sure the devs optimised their code before buying more hardware. Anyone have a link to this blog post or remember the author?

Original author here, glad you like it!

watchexec was borne out of a few frustrations with entr, mostly around how it handles new files being created. However, from a pure design standpoint, entr is just better than most anything out there due how closely it hews to UNIX philosophy, and it gets so far on just that.

The only real improvement that can be made to these tools (currently) would be to have perfect information about what caused a file to change. Currently, most tools require you to tell it files/patterns to ignore to avoid triggering loops where the file watcher changes files and ends up triggering itself over and over. watchexec did good work here by ingesting your .gitignore and using that.

Unfortunately OSes don't provide great info when it comes to file modifications. On Linux, ptrace/LD_PRELOAD would enable us to know the set of all files changed as a result of running the file watcher (and thus ignoring them automatically). DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES is a thing on macOS, though it is subject to SIP restrictions with some binaries. I'm unsure what mechanism exists on Windows. The highly platform-dependent nature of this is one reason why I haven't really pursued this line of work in watchexec.
"Cautionary tale? Perhaps. Would Christianity/Judaism/Islam/Buddhism/Sikhism/etc survive such an alien encountered unchanged/unscathed? I personally doubt it."

Not sure about the rest, but pretty sure Buddhism would remain mostly unchanged. It assumes a myriad of different beings living all over the universe and in different planes of existence.
I think the way we're taught math in school might lead us to believe that it's not but it is. you're right that the best way to learn math, or anything really, is to take a problem or project or whatever that's just outside your current skillset and work towards achieving it, getting help where necessary. But when you are seeking new knowledge, the best tool you have for verifying truth is argument with others. Math researchers and really anyone doing research of any kind spend a lot of time arguing methods and results - this is how you seek truth. Philosophy is the same way - someone makes a claim and uses evidence to support that claim. Others argue either for it or against it, refining the argument until they feel they have a better understanding of a given topic.
I once had a western educated (self confessed Brahmin) guy say that India and Pakistan were culturally identical. Now there's some comments here about converting to Christianity as an attractive alternative, but what about Islam? Could the success of Islam in certain places in the Indian subcontinent have been driven by the caste system? Does conversion to Islam involve a change of name? Does the caste system operate in muslim majority Pakistan for example?
From the article:
"Today we are designating a violent U.S.-based anti-government network as a dangerous organization and banning it from our apps. This network uses the term boogaloo but is distinct from the broader and loosely-affiliated boogaloo movement because it actively seeks to commit violence," a Facebook spokesperson wrote in a statement."

So this isn't all Boogaloo groups, only a supposedly (more?) violent subset.

He literally referenced the insults as a justification for his actions. So no, this is not media deceptiveness.

Quotes from a different article:

> "“Do you see why we oppose social media like YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, et cetera.?” Erdogan asked in reference to the alleged insults of his family members. “It is imperative that these channels are brought under control.”

> Erdogan said: “Turkey is not a banana republic. We will snub those who snub this country’s executive and judicial bodies.”"

This is a disturbing new trend, open source software is just that, it is open source. Defining who can and can't use it goes against the spirit of FOSS.
> the higher the contrast between rich/poor between the foreigner/host

British in Germany or France seems pretty horizontal to me though.

What's scary is how close-knit diaspora groups sometimes end up becoming more foreign to the host country than those in their ancestral country would be, holding up questionable traditions long after they are overcome by those who didn't leave. Permanently entrenched minorities are discrimination by definition, it can't stop without both sides stopping. Close-knit diaspora groups are a dangerous local maximum optimisation trap.

What are the other kinds of methods
Couldn't YouTube TV at least do what other providers and cable companies do- have different packages with different sets of channels? That + the DVR functionality/etc just might be enough to make it worth it to enough users instead of only having this noncompetitive high price-point.

I can't stand any normal cable TV other than sports, so both YTTV and cable are not for me at all, but my local cable company offers enough channels at less than $65 that even if I did decide to pay for cable TV, YT TV is a tough sell.
> 2) disable protection alongside with A/V and proceed as usual

How would the malware do that? I've looked into this and with Windows 10 1903 onward, Tamper Protection is enabled by default. [1]

I have yet to find a programmatic method to disable Tamper Protection (which is a prerequisite to disable Defender). I've tried regedit (permission denied), GPO, and all other manner of PowerShell thuggery, but I have not succeeded. In the end, I scripted extracting and editing the registry hive offline (outside the VM) to disable Tamper Protection.

Unless the malware has a way to open the Settings app and toggle Tamper Protection in the UI as if they were a user, I can't think of any way they could disable it unless they exploit a known weakness in Defender or a third-party anti-virus program (entirely possible).

Which they adressed in the last paragraph of the linked page:

"Is it an Open Source License?

While the Climate Strike License violates the Open Source Initiative's canonical Open Source Definition, which explicitly excludes licenses that limit re-use "in a specific field of endeavor", we feel that as tech workers, we should take responsibility in how our software is used, and that the urgency of climate change cannot be limited by the ideological position of open source software. Instead, we want adopters of the Climate Strike License to take a bold stance in the fight to save the planet."
I wonder what some mid- to long-term consequences of Turkey slipping into dictatorship will be for NATO as a whole.

It's clear Turkey is drifting away from the values held by the alliance members.

I'm so glad they haven't been accepted into the EU. That would be a disaster.

That's not a solution, it would mean most market makers instantly left your exchange, or just quote really widely (providing a worse spread, so people wishing to trade have to pay a worse price), because holding your orders in the market for a minute is incredibly dangerous given how much the value of the underlying product could move at any time, especially when it's correlated with something traded on another exchange.
This might be related. Supposedly these were "sketches used by the police in the USSR to identify suspects based on race" - https://i.redd.it/4qzg51sezz751.jpg
Not your not wrong. The statistics show that the mortality rate is low unless your 65+. It's much higher than the flu, but less than say SARS was back in 2005.

However, this isn't the real problem. Unlike most illnesses this one has a very long incubation time (like 1-2 weeks) unlike the flu where you get sick in a day or so. This means you can be walking around making people ill and spreading the disease even though you're totally fine. (Which is why walking around with out a mask isn't healthy for other people)

So the real issue isn't you getting sick and dying but the fact that you're spreading the illness to 20+ other people and making the problem so much worse. All these sick people will eventually effect you (as they already have) overwhelming health and social services.
Then why even make the license? This is a useless virtue signal. If you want to help solve environmental issues, there are many actual ways besides trying to ban industries from using your FOSS.
The scientists doing the work could be getting paid the exact same by the government as opposed to investors looking to make 1000x returns.

I feel that I need to make a point here.

I did not mean to offend anyone. I was simply talking about my experience, in my life, and my outlook. I am very grateful for others sharing their experiences and outlooks, and it has helped me to understand things a bit better. I appreciate it. Really.

I understand that this is an emotional topic, and that some people have suffered greatly.

But let's not turn this into a flame war.

Countries are already named on a per language basis and it isn't an exact process or accurate to the original. It would be like taking offense at referring to calling "Estados Unitos" offensive as a name for the United States or "Russia" offensive because the actual pronunciation is more like "Rossiya" and spelled Россия.
"the Climate Strike License violates the Open Source [Initiative]"

So it's not open source.
Also in general even if programer don't end up using LISP type of language they get better by just learning it. And Javascript is decent stand in for LISP, as Crockford points out.
> vegetarianism definitely has positive connotations in India, but it's rarely about caste,

I’m not sure which part of India does this apply to. As an Indian living in India (born brought up, working now etc), almost every single instance vegetarianism was brought up in a discussion, it was immediately followed up with caste.

Sure, India is vast, but I just don’t know a place where diet is decoupled from caste.

Talking about myself, though I’m a Maratha Kshatriya my parents somehow didn’t prefer non vegetarian. So I ended up growing up a vegetarian dude. Only to be mocked by my relatives later in life “what kind of a Maratha are you who doesn’t eat meat”
Yep, never heard of "kotiert" before.
Geometric algebra is a bit awkward notationally. Physicist prefer to use an alternative notation based on exterior calculus that does provide a compact representation of Maxwell equations:

Geometric algebra produces two equations too, by the way, not one.

> which hopefully counts as an interactive Lisp

Not that much in my view. I don't see Clojure as a particular interactive Lisp, I actually see it only as 'derived from Lisp and others'. 'Lisp' is usually much more interactive, with stateful images (running copies of 'object seas'), mix of interpretation and compilation, interactive error handling, all-layers Lisp (where most of the layers can be inspected/manipulated/changed at runtime, incl. its own implementation) and internal development environments (not externally attached).
