While from what I can tell reading about in linguistics, the Tamil-Japanese (Dravidian hypothesis) is discredited, or at least not taken seriously, I thought this would be an interesting article to share from Susumu Ohno, a Japanese linguist who died in 2008.

> It's a lot easier for me to read through a list of things in some category than it is for me to scan through a bunch of irregularly sized tiles for the icon and description of the configuration I need.

I think you hit on something here with the irregular size of the buttons, probably moreso than the icons. The arrangement makes it difficult to just read through all the options left to right, because they're all jumbled.

A common/recommended design pattern for older Mac apps is to have a top toolbar of large icons, which is actually quite similar to the Ribbon in some ways. But there, the options appear in a single horizontal row. https://i.ibb.co/wd6MR9c/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-11-58-37-...

>So this isn't universal basic income, as it's means based, but this article keeps calling it that for some reason.

Yeah, I received "relief income" from the government, i.e. my own tax dollars, even though I'm not unemployed, and am actually saving money by not having to commute.

If this is "universal income", I fail to see how creating a massive government bureaucracy to take my money and then give it straight back to me is beneficial to anyone except bureaucrat middlemen performing glorified ditch-digging jobs.

1. is true, but if you want that data to move to a new node, it still needs to be replicated. Kafka's approach is to use tiered storage (which I believe is close to completion).

2. Kafka can read from a replica node. It's relatively new but it's there.
I think they've improved it a lot since then, but I remember the Fonts menu getting incrementally slower as you piled more fonts into your system. At one time I think it actually held up Word loading entirely.
Years ago, I had one of the employee builds on my company phone, and it picked up an update and would "instacrash" - tap the icon, and it'd die immediately. Crash. Crash. Crash.

A couple of days later I caught up with the people allegedly responsible for this stuff in the bigger review meeting. "Shouldn't you open a SEV because you are shipping stuff that can't possibly work and aren't catching it pre-release?" The response was a lot of hand-waving and stupid manager-speak that boiled down to "no, go away".

I basically wrote them off at that point. If they could act that way and get away with it by way of implicit acceptance from upper management, that's just the way it was going to be.

I see the quality is as high as always.

The apps are broken serverside by Facebook. No amount of testing (automated or not) on the side of the app developers would have prevented this.

Facebook's own apps did not break since they are on the latest version of FBSDK.

What Facebook needs to do is to test whether their changes don't break other people's apps.

Sure thing! My stack for Dark Hacker news is React Native and Expo. Since I've primarily been a web developer and have some React Web experience, React Native made the transition to mobile development a lot more seamless.

From building this a year ago to today, I've learned so much more about React/React Native and in general my technical skills have gotten much better. There are definitely things I can refactor to make more performant that I'd like to do.

I'd also like to make a pass through the code to convert any remaining React class components to functional components using React hooks. I'd also like to update to React Navigation 5 which recently released.

Let me know if you have any technical questions about some aspects of the app and I'd be happy to answer them. Thanks again for the download!
Nope. It sucks. RIP.
I wonder how officials record deaths where the person was just found dead. Do they try to figure out the causes of death? It was reported in New York City that the rate at which firefighters and paramedics were finding dead people at home had increased by 10x over normal rates. They were finding 200 or more people daily.

Here is a BLM supporting moniker:

Literally that's their title/moniker, it's not even a Tweet, it's in every Tweet!

Now if that's not racist, then what is?

And how does Twitter not consider that 'hate speech'?

How has this not been flagged?

And how are advertisers not concerned about such language on Twitter, but they are of Facebook?

Obviously, it's not the same thing as racism 'in the other direction' due to issues of power etc. but it's still racist.

This is common in Twitter.

I watched the 'Prisoner' series as a kid on re-runs, it's absolutely amazing. I'll never forget it, it's like nothing else.

Since it's open-source and on GitHub, you can go there and raise an issue with this feedback. You can't do that with WhatsApp or other closed-source alternatives.

Personally, I don't feel the UX is "terrible", I can use it to do most of the things that I could do in WhatsApp. My friends and I also tested out the video call feature and found the quality to be the same, if not better.

>To hold otherwise would be to elevate the most brazen and longstanding injustices over the law, both rewarding wrong and failing those in the right.

Interesting logic. Now do Roe v Wade. Are they going to overturn that too because it allows the injustice of the murder of millions of unborn Americans? Probably not. Funny how Stare Decisis goes out the window when it's an issue the justices care about, yet conveniently reapply it when present day utility outweighs historical injustice.
Astronomers work through photons obtained and scientific inference on those photons. Lots and lots of inference. "Light" matter simply means "we can see it through a telescope because it gives off light," which means stars at a great distance, or closer up, light from a star reflected off of a surface.

Dark, therefore, means "we know it is there but it isn't directly observable by gathering photons with a telescope."

>The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that the PPP program is somehow magically immune to that discrimination.

Come on. You can't do to that. That's not how it works. The burden of proof is always on a positive claim. General negative claims are intrinsically unprovable. This is because for one, you've begged the question, and there is no level of evidence that you would accept or even list what you would accept as evidence that your conclusion is wrong.

More importantly, it is impossible to list every factor and modality of this discrimination (and you have to do that to prove a universal negative claim that there is no racial discrimination), because there is an infinite number of possibilities of this manifestation (i.e. what is the nature of this racist discrimination you're claiming?).

Here are some potential modalities for this 'racist discrimination'.

1) The program was designed with the intent to discriminate against certain minorities (and not others).
2) The program was not designed with the intent to discriminate, but certain factors had as a side-effect discriminating against certain minorities (and not others).
3) The program was not designed with the intent to discriminate and does not intrinsically discriminate, but the executors of this program intentionally discriminated against certain minorities (but not others)
4) The program was not designed with the intent to discriminate and does not intrinsically discriminate, and the executors of this program did not intentionally discriminated against certain minorities (but not others), but certain factors had a side-effect of discrimination.
5) The program and execution was not intrinsically discriminatory, but other structural factors led to discrimination. Factors such as the claim that minorities are discriminated in banking, or certain minorities being turned away from entrepreneurship by lack of role-models, or ... etc.

I can go on ... but each one is different and independent of the next and even within each one you have countless of potential mechanism. For example, if the claim is the program was intentionally designed to be discriminatory, you have unpack that and provide the mechanism for that. Is it Congress that did that? Is the White House? Which statue was discriminatory, etc.. And there are countless other potential avenues for discrimination. Each kind of discrimination calls for different approach to a solution. You're not honest when you shift the burden of proof like you did.
It's true in most luxury goods. In this case, instead of Louis Vuitton, George Ault was the brand being replicated. High-end mechanical watches are another example, where the "right" name on the dial definitely affects the demand, even if lower-priced watches have nicer internals and finishing for far less cost. In fact, there is a whole group of consumers who knowingly purchase replicated pieces (some of which are getting indistinguishable from the real thing). A lot is in a name, in art and otherwise.

I've been saying this since the start. Unless we lockdown for 2 years, 100% of people would negatively be affected.

If we lockdown for 2 years 99.5% of people would be negatively affected.

If we didn't lockdown at all, 0.5% of people would negatively be affected.

This is basic statistics to me. But our leaders have never taken a statistics class and merely relied on physician testimonials. Who are obviously not taking into consideration big picture problems.

> They're selling quite a few games now that require an internet connection [...] in order for multiplayer to work

How else would online multiplayer work? I suppose there's the community-run server model, but you're asking vendors to potentially do some pretty major re-architecting.

GOG's games are entirely DRM-Free for single-player and local multiplayer. For experiences that are inherently tied to online services, the concept of DRM-Free ownership doesn't really work.
Those shouldn’t be in opposition to each other, surely.
>You can't acknowledge they are male.

I feel that you're entitled to your opinion that transwomen are men but why shouldn't you be subject to the opinion of other people? If Reddit decides it's not the sort of content they want to allow on their site then I see nothing wrong with them removing it.
You're free to register transwomen-are-men.com or get-the-blm-facts.com where you can discuss your beliefs to your heart's content with others who share your opinion.
Finally I would point out that "womaness" is a mental and social construct so I'm not sure what facts there are to quibble about. If people were claiming that transwomen are of the female sex then that is obviously factually incorrect.

Fascinating! I skimmed the details in the paper here [1] and my impression is that it looks pretty solid. It uses Gutmann's RBFs as surrogate structures. It also benchmarks pretty well against stochastic/metaheuristic algorithms [2].

However most examples in the paper were somewhat small and the problem type is restricted to MINLPs with box constraints (which is still tremendously useful, especially for hyperparameter optimization in simulations).

Just curious, what's the largest problem size you've managed to solve? (no. of constraints, binaries/continuous vars)

I haven't used Word much at all since the ribbon interface. Like others, for whatever reason the ribbon makes doesn't work for me, neither cognitively or via muscle-memory. The categorization doesn't help me predict where to find something (fails "new user" ease of use), nor does repeated use make it easier or faster. And of course I don't use it (or windows) much, so I don't think in Microsoft(tm) English, adding a minor layer of translation for some jargon.

I have to use Excel enough that I've finally rote-memorized where frequently used things are. But when I have to find some tool I don't know where is, it is faster to google for instructions than hunt around the application itself, so I do that first.

I'm sure it is fine if you live in MS-land. I don't, and it fails for this casual user both for discoverability and streamlined use.

I don’t consider it legitimate because of the proven conflicts of interests involved in taxpayer funded defined benefit pensions.

The math can be fudged to purposely understate costs, never mind the fact that predicting that far into the future is impossible.

So you have politicians with an interest in keeping taxes low in the short term to get re elected, you have union bosses who are older and also don’t care about fudged numbers way into the future, since they will be getting theirs before shit hits the fan.

The people screwed are future generations of taxpayers and benefit recipients who have to accept cuts to their benefits.

Cash remuneration works for everyone else, if the union members want an annuity, they can negotiate for higher cash pay and then go purchase an annuity from an insurance company. I don’t want my kids to pay for labor that was performed today just so can pay artificially low taxes.
My guess is that more people learned to use office after 2007 than before, so the majority of people have no problems using the ribbon.
