On paper, but it sure doesn't feel like it when trying to use it.

It's nearly impossible to find out which of the umpteen repositories contains the source for the class you're trying to understand, and MSDN won't be of much help. Much of the standard library also has a bunch of decoy source files that only contain signatures and/or mocks, so it's a pain to find the real version.

OmniSharp has a "go-to-source" option, but you only get the real source if it's in the same solution. Otherwise you only get signatures. Try giving Metals[0] or Rust-Analyzer[1] a shot, this stuff is night-and-day.

The official debugger (vsdbg) only works in VS and VSCode (and explicitly not in FOSS builds of VSCode). There is netcoredbg[2], but I still haven't figured out how to convince Emacs to use it. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the culture wasn't so hostile to printf debugging (for example, ~nobody bothers to implement helpful ToStrings).

There is a heavy cultural bias towards MS libraries, regardless of their merits (ASP.Net Core, DI hell, EFCore, etc). See [3] for an.. interesting example.

OmniSharp has a habit of giving up randomly, giving useless error messages, and most GH issues consist of people repeating "+1", until there is a one-liner about how an update fixed it. Root cause analysis, what's that?

> This paper's weak argument that women are incapable should be shot down.

The argument is that, in the study: All women in supervised interviews failed the interview. All women in unsupervised interviews passed the interview.

The sample size is too small to draw conclusions, but it definitely opens up further avenues of inquiry that should be done.
It is applied. More often that not, the argument is not that these words don't have a single true opposition. But that it's negligent to take this opposition and extrapolate it to the world.

Yes, Americans should wish the best brains go somewhere else so America loses its relevance. Makes a lot of sense. In fact why don't Americans advocate for America bombing itself?
Technically, I'm in a slightly similar position to yours as I had an uncommonly annoying respiratory infection during the last week of February (I am not in a disease epicenter, however, so my Bayesian prior is much weaker). I don't believe having a positive (or negative) test would meaningfully change my behavior or medical decisions and I don't feel any significant psychological discomfort about it. That said, I respect that you feel differently, that's fair enough.

However, on the last point, I'm afraid that thinking might potentially prove quite dangerous. As far as I can tell (from closely following the medical literature, though I am not an immunologist and don't claim any authority on the subject) we really have no idea as to how quickly immunity decays, every single cellular immunity (T cell) study I've seen is extremely limited methodologically and we have no clinical evidence whatsoever to suggest that reinfections would have a milder course. If that turns out to not be the case, people who behave incautiously based on their test results might significantly endanger themselves.

Oh, I’m not being dismissive of their work - it’s just multiple lines of skilled work which you have to complete. The building, hardware, and software management all require 24x7 operations and security, work with vendors and capacity planning, etc. and overseeing all of that work.

At some level of usage those costs are lower than the savings but that line has been going up for years, especially for anyone who needs PCI, HIPAA, FEDRAMP, etc. where there’s a ready package available covering a lot of it.
>There are lots of potential long-term health effects to the virus

This has been repeated ad nauseam but there has been no proof of any long term or permanent side effects from COVID, especially for asymptomatic cases. There are a few anecdotal cases but nothing concrete. Yes, if you get a bad case of COVID with a harsh pneumonia, that will result in a lower lung capacity for a while but that's always what happens after lung damage. But to say "lots of potential side effects" is bordering on disinformation.

It's been 7 months now, we would have known by now. It makes absolutely no sense to keep pushing for the "we don't know a lot about the virus so we can just assume the worse and there's no way to prove otherwise" arguments after 5m+ infections and still no evidence even with almost every scientist and every doctor in the world being focused on COVID right now.
> If someone says they can hear a high-pitched noise that you can't, it's only polite to take them at their word, i

Sorry, no, no way. It might be polite to agree that they believe they hear a noise, but it cannot be the motivation to go and destroy all electronic devices in immediate vicinity. This is so easily exploitable. Replace "can hear a noise" with "can see a witch" and imagine the consequences.

I typed this already on the duplicate submission but here it goes.

Anytime I see things about GAN, deepfakes and bots it reminds me of the videogame Deus Ex Human Revolution (2011).

The game is set in the not so distant future and revolves around technology, ethics and humanity.

It touches on various concepts like; AI, biomedical advancements, hacking, weaponry and civil rights.

The particulary profound bit that I relate to situations like this is around a TV news broadcaster called Eliza Cassan.

---Spoilers Ahead!---

Eliza works for one of the most powerful media and news agencies, called Picus.

She is a celebrity and with her abilities to get the latest news and coverage, she is able to direct the conversations on various political and ethical issues that I mentioned earlier.

As you progress through the game and break into the Picus News HQ, you come to realise that no employees have met or dealt with Eliza Cassan in person.

This is because she is revealed to be an AI powered hologram composed from what I would assume are desirable human aesthetics.

It is not established who controls Eliza but you can tell she has a degree of autonomy but is penultimately controlled to operate for the benefit of her operators.

Her AI is also intrusive and appears to be able to mine data from around the world (cameras, hacked devices), allowing her unprecendented global access which she uses to analyse an direct conversation for her viewers.

A thoroughly good game which gives technologically pro/negative people a taste of what our future "may" be like.

Perhaps because “unfinished” offers stakeholders the opportunity to make major contributions, whereas “finished” means it’s already too late to make changes now so anything they do say will just be ignored.

Yeah it’s all perception, but cultivating the right perception is vital to effective, productive communication.
Except it spills over into other elite institutions like the NYT, so it’s not exactly self contained.
Lots of things at work are sacred, I have to avoid talking about them openly. This makes meetings uncomfortable for me when the very orthodox-privilege leader wants you to open up.

Things like Agile for instance can’t be discussed unless you have a near orthodox view.
That's a good point. I was considering this through the lens typical of me and my peers rather than that of overall "American" standards.
There's also a prominent apparel/skateboarding company named Element which has been around for decades and is the top search result for "element" for me.

I hear this so often that I wonder if people actually believe it. If you do, keep in mind that it would require a fairly large conspiracy within tech circles to maintain. A more likely explanation is that it's less effort to come up with and apply a leetcode-style question in an interview scenario.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by laziness and cargo-culting.
I would really hope the remote operator is just there to punch a kill switch and force the vehicle to stop.

No idea if that's the case, remote-piloted drone cars just seem like a bad idea -- lag, loss of signal, hijacking, etc.

(Although if it is technologically feasible and we're willing to go that route, it seems like you could make eg long distance truck driving safer that way -- if you have truck pilots working from an office complex in suburbia, you could change drivers without stopping the vehicle, allowing drivers to take frequent breaks and work ~8 hour shifts before going home to sleep in their own beds, while the trucks drive non-stop. If most big-rig accidents are caused by drivers driving too long without enough sleep and rest, you should be able to get substantial decreases without the overhead of sending multiple drivers with each truck.)
Honestly I think “riot” is pretty recognisable as a software company and it’s fair that they defend their brand against another software company. You wouldn’t expect to be able to trademark “epic.im” or “blizzard.im”.
fwiw, this assumes a $500 price per ton to remove the carbon. Currently it sounds like several different technologies think they might be able to get it below $100/ton, which would significantly improve the cost outlook.

Though, you are completely right, even then it's still far too expensive to accidentally remove way too much.

Beating around the bush Paul...
Just looked at it, since I never heard of it before.
It looks kind of like what I'm trying to achieve, but looking at the specification is very detailed again. It even comes with its own data model for input and output. I don't feel like this should be the focus nor mandatory. It's very Java/Python heavy, which, to be fair, are the two most common languages for these use-cases. But I believe you either have a very static, strong system, as-in shipping a whole BPMN model onto your company and implementing SAP, or you want something light-weight that's easy to use, like e.g. Airflow. I'm more on the light-weight front, but I think systems like Airflow have the problem of being too shut-in into one language. I want my workflows to be quickly defineable (e.g. via Python), but I don't want the Engine to actually run on Python...

I mean, worst case I just gained a lot of experience once I'm done with implementing. I do see a lot of similarities between what's already there and what I'm doing, but also some differences. And it's fun :D

I feel like the psychological element goes the other way, at least for me.

In January, this would have felt like a terrible deal. Right now, it feels like you're telling me that - should I socially isolate for a few weeks a year after vaccine shots - I can largely go back to living a normal life. That feels great.
Excellent essay. I think the qualifier for an unorthodox view/idea/opinion is that it’s a little bit scary to say in public.

Something like... I think the coronavirus reaction is way overblown. It’s not nearly as dangerous as the media would lead you to believe, and wearing masks is basically ineffective and is just a thing to make people feel like they’re doing something.

Somewhat off topic / tangent: How long until courtrooms no longer accept video footage as evidence due to the prevalence of fake videos? i.e. police body cams, store security camera, videos of powerful people engaged in inappropriate activity, etc. What implications might this have?

Honestly at first glance this seems right. But this argument has been made so much, in so many place, and ended in failure so frequently why don't we think of something different. Hopefully less dependent on government evolvement. The idea that you can vote or tax this problem away seems misguided at a certain point.

$80 is what I think subscribers might pay (on average) for Starlink - it's a guess.

When you look at what subscribers pay worldwide for internet, it varies, but in the U.S., I currently pay $50/month for 3mbps/0.768mbps DSL (Yuck!) in the countryside. When I'm traveling, ATT is charging around $100/month for unlimited LTE at 8mbps/8mbps. If Starlink can give me 10mbps/10mbps or better at $80/month, I'll take interest. Even more so if Starlink can replace an Iridium go when out at sea.

I'm not sure how Starlink will price services around the world. It'll be interesting to see how they work out the terms/pricing globally. If they are competitive though, I think there are enough customers in the U.S. to make it a profitable project.

What? I'd go so far as to say this is universally incorrect. Having interviewed hundreds of people at multiple companies, at every level (intern to director), I have never been told what technical questions to ask....
From the other side of the pond, I'd like to add, it gets tiring. It's absolutely impossible to have a meaningful exchange with 95% pf the Americans on the Internet these days. Rare are the days I'm not called antifa/communist/libtard/fag and racist/bigot/trumpette/transphobic, often in the very same thread.

For any American trying to figure out what I'm talking about, there's a couple of Facebook groups that routinely explore this and related effects: "Things only Americans think are debatable" and "oh great, now we have to explain it for the americans."
Apple could do the following:
When rejecting apps, still put them in the App Store, but with a Rejected label. And under Settings, add a toggle “Allow installation of Rejected apps”. Then make it so you can find them in the App Store only if this toggle is enabled, and you search by the app’s exact name. Finally, force the user to acknowledge “Yes I’m sure.... Yes I’m really REALLY sure”.
I think the cultural shorthand for the -ists in question at the moment is “anti-PC” opposed with “woke” (in the non-pejorative sense; predictably enough it has also become a slur when used by those who oppose it).

These roughly align with a lot of other social dichotomies (e.g. they map approximately to right/left, respectively) in the US, although not quite coterminously. There’s a lot of fuzzy leakage around the edges on a lot of issues that primarily map directly to this split.
> Lots of engineer types freeze when they have to make a presentation.

I've seen one place that wanted developers to do a full presentation with slides and all to a group of people.

The topic of the presentation was completely up to you, didn't even have to be a technical subject. You could do a presentation on baking if you wanted.

Was doing presentations a part of the job of the developer? No. They wouldn't have to do presentations in their day job...

I didn't go for the job and have never understood what they were looking for.

speaking from a personal viewpoint.

I've pirated tons of stuff back in the days as a student, and know how to do all that even today. But now I've stopped pirating stuff.

It's partially because I've actually started earning money, but also because nowadays, it is incredibly easy to be able to PAY for stuff. And many companies actively integrate with local payment gateways and sell me stuff in my local currency too, which makes decision making much easier. It's actually become so easy that I straight-off decline when any friend of mine asks me to help them pirate softwares.
>> Housing costs are not up because of Airbnb

>I think they are partially.

You're mistaking housing costs with prices. Housing costs are the input prices of components that entrepreneurs accept or reject to produce housing.

Such as:
* price materials producers demand for their products (concrete, wood, electrical wire etc)
* the labor prices, labor sellers demand (Carpenters, iron workers, etc)
* the prices land owners demand to either keep land undeveloped or developed
* the prices state agents demand to abstain from interfering with home building.

Consumption can't drive up a producer's input costs. Consumers may abstain from purchasing from a producer unless the producer meets different inputs ("I demand you only buy the labor of architects who live near me and not people far away").

No, it's a case of much less profound details, for instance I literally had no idea that Shakespeare's works were even meant to rhyme in the original, because the translation that we've read in school didn't rhyme at all. Also the rhythm was completely different and the language was over-complicated by using archaic expressions to try to match Shakespeare's use of English, and so on. Of course, translations are an art form on their own, so perhaps it's a matter of taste also.
I think this is broadly correct. In the old days when both the political and cultural spheres were conservative, it was clear what and who was unorthodox. Today, different institutions are both very liberal and very conservative so you can actually say anything you want and be considered both incredibly conventional and outrageously pointed, depending on who is listening and where you are saying it.

For example, you can be a powerful high-ranking advisor to the President and spew all sorts of nasty racist garbage, but you can inhabit a world of friendly media and cheering crowds and you'll never feel encumbered by anything. At the same time, you can be a regular Joe at a regular Office and say something mildly eye-brow raising and be fired.

Choose your crowd and you can in fact say whatever you want and pretend you're both a victim and victor. Demanding that a crowd put up with you, well that's a hard sell.
F-22 is the greatest plane in the US arsenal. It's unhackable (because the IBM mainframe powering it is so old, it would be difficult for the chinese or russians to attempt to do so). And -nothing- can currently beat it in a 1v1.

The issue, however, is we can barely keep 50% of the already existing raptors operational. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28659/air-force-admits...

The raptor is, unfortunately, not the future due to costs and maintenance (tho the f-35 is having the same maintenance issues with the stealth coating. Hopefully it's not as bad.)

Maybe I've internalized what "orthodox privilege" means but ... yes things that go against the grain often receive push back.

Is that bad? Isn't that sometimes just the nature of having to prove a different idea in the face of another idea that may be proven?

On the other hand let's say it is Orthodox Privilege then we get to the next step, give it a name and ... tell others they're engaging in 'orthodox privilege'?

Any kinda 'you're doing <insert privilege term>' seems like a non starter.

In the meantime anyone and everyone who gets push back seems to already feel they're oppressed by 'the system' or 'the media' and anyone who views their ideas as poor somehow is biased, pushing an agenda, something is wrong with them.

I feel like a lot of 'privilege' talk sort of leaked out of good / valid ideas and areas of academic study and now are sort of used as a magic wand (or sometimes a baseball bat) that really don't solve anything when talking to other people outside of say macro study and etc.
> Someone somewhere on HN said that "Google was a ball-pit for gifted children." I kinda laughed at that, but really, after k8s and protobuf3, I won't even grant "gifted".

This made me laugh.
I don't really understand what this concept is adding that ideas like "blinkeredness" don't already cover, as orthodox in this case (as has been pointed out by others here) is context-dependent.

I've read it a couple of times and am still a bit unsure of what new idea it's getting at.
> Resistance to anxiety. This disadvantages women, minorities, and people with psychological conditions that should be covered by ADA.

I resemble some of those categories, and I don't know if I would feel comfortable making the leap to correlate them to a some inherent reduced level of resistance to anxiety. That seems like a generalization which I feel that, on an aggregate level, seems unsupportable by data.

I think that determination should be on a case-by-case basis, as is currently done at universities.
Apple is certainly engaging in anti-competitive activity, along with Google, as it is viewed through the lens of US antitrust legislation and case law. Your personal definition of monopoly is irrelevant here.
A big question is how long it’ll last: if you got a yearly shot like the flu, that might be enough to prevent widespread outbreaks even if it doesn’t go away and people who are immune compromised still have to worry.

The other would be whether it helps with partial immunity: it doesn’t need to be lifelong immunity to be worth using if, say, it shifted the serious case rate down by a fair margin.
Not OP, but I will point out one example that should not be too controversial: "Science!".

Note that label of science has been as politicized ( to the detriment of all of us ) as pretty much everything else. If you dare to question "Science!", you are, by default, backwood white trash racist or something along those lines, which happens to ignore that science encourages healthy debate and constantly questions underlying assumptions. This is literally how we get progress.

Now, there is an argument to be made that words of a PhD carry more weight than FB educated person, but I think everyone here met a person with no formal education, who was still sharper than most people in the room ( and vice versa, an educated person arguing that black is white and getting himself killed crossing the next pedestrian crossing ).

TLDR; "Science!" is one such orthodoxy.
