You seem to be going from "There has been a lot of talk about privilege lately" to "this thought process started by thinking about the concept of privilege [not actual quote]". The link isn't obvious to me.

>In July of 2020, has there actually been a lot of talk about privilege?

The internet is big, it's safe to assume there's talk about privilege non-stop in some corners of it. Of course, there's nothing wrong with not having seen it. Anecdotally, I've seen this 2 days ago here on HN without looking for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23821125
The graphic is 'attacking' to the extent the facts are wrong or misleading, and if some of the characteristics could be denigrating.

For example "Winning At All Costs" <- this is absolutely not characteristic of 'Whiteness' and the vast majority of White people would reject this notion, even by measures of behaviour, this is not true as well.

The infographic lacks many empathetic qualities, and so in the end, it borders on bigotry.

To make such assertions, I think would require a lot of nuance and objectivity. The wording of the graphic is 'off' and it should not be published as such, at least in any official quality.
Amazon Lures ‘Artisanal’ Sellers and Hangs Them Out to Dry
Shareholder-style thinking seems at odds with the purpose of government, as it's sole (appropriate) reason for existing is to serve the public.
I assume so, I mean it took a while to get it right so that Riot would work. But now both Fractal, RiotX, the old Android app and Riot-web work fine.

We can continue this in the Issues I guess. I noticed there was a planned improvement for error snackbars in the login so that would solve half of the issue. But I found no other issue with problems logging in open right now.
The article mentions this, but it says that apparently, with this specific bug, you also Have to hold Ctrl every subsequent time you re-open Outlook - it’s not a one-off fix. They suggest going back to the previous release as an alternative.
I didn't really try to make an argument, nor even say I agree with Foucault here--just that I see a parallel and it amuses me.

Caveats: 1) I read this over a year ago, 2) found it enough of a slog that my understanding feels pretty fuzzy, and 3) am still undecided/chewing on the main argument

My impression is that Foucault wasn't trying to deny a trend, but to highlight a number of other trends (including the explosion of discourse around sexuality) to open the reader up to challenging or re-framing their received knowledge about sexuality at the time. His focus is very much on all of the power and control dynamics at this nexus. It's a little hard to distill what I mean by that--because it includes actual sex and sexuality, the science/study of it, who is speaking, whose sex is being spoken about, what kind of sex it is, social/class dynamics, etc.
There's "good for workers as workers" and "good for workers as consumers". Walmart and Amazon are very good for workers-as-consumers, IMO.

Vim's Arglist as a File-Centric Todo List
Trust me, PHP 5.x is going to be one of the first things to go in a few days. Moving to PHP 7 should fix many of our issues in one go -- I hope. Along with a move to nginx (which the rest of our web infrastructure already uses). There's a long story as to why all this hasn't be done previously.

I'll look into changing the caching once we're over the worst of this. Forgive me if I don't want to make significant changes during a massive traffic spike. ;)
Indeed, and this depends between applications. For the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model, I get 3-4x speed up with Intel Fortran compiler over gfortran. I don't see where the Author mentions the Fortran compiler used, though.

And you're missing what these tests are actually doing instead: Figuring out which people have already seen the problem at hand, and probably memorized all/some of it.

The problem is that these interviewers will not pass you if you don't solve the problem almost perfectly in an amount of time that is way too small for someone who has never seen it before.

To make matters worse, many of the solutions require some trick or mathematical trivia to get right. Does that really prove you know your Algos & DS?
I’ve seen so many examples of excessive and unwarranted force from the US police, by now hundreds of incidents.
The problem is that pg is not honest about what his problem with cancel culture actually is. Clearly, his problem is that he is privileged and sexist, aware of it and afraid of being cancelled, or rather, of receiving criticism about his statements and beliefs (as he has in the past).

But what he is arguing is something entirely different. He's not searching for words to argue for his position (he has none), he's searching for words that misrepresent and denigrate his opponents. You can see this easily not just by how he abuses the word "privilege", but by how he asserts that any position that is not his is part of an "orthodoxy". This would only make sense if there was a set of positions that a large majority of people could agree on, which would then form that orthodoxy, but as pg himself well knows, that set of positions doesn't exist -- after all, the POTUS himself is anything but "woke"! The only other way the term "orthodoxy" makes sense here, then, is understanding "orthodoxy" to not mean an agreed-upon, but a proscribed set of beliefs, such as in the Orthodox church. Such a set of beliefs, then, would require someone in power who outlines and instates it. That idea -- that there is a cabal of people who decide about which opinions are acceptable or "orthodox" or not -- is a dangerous conspiracy theory. More than that, it is an important element of contemporary alt-right discourses, which also often focus on this idea that there are some vague people in vague power which make it so that you "can't say some things anymore", be those powerholders "Cultural Marxists", (((Jewish))) or otherwise.

So yes, I agree that it is positive when people articulate their objections to an opinion. However, those articulations should actually express an opinion that is being held, rather than form a smoke-and-mirrors defense against having to say out loud what you know will get you pushback. A dogwhistle is not an argument.
I really think having people pass these coding interviews is so that the interviewer isn’t responsible in selecting the wrong person.
I'm not sure it's so cut and dry that he's resilient to political games.

I follow right wing groups to understand the cognitive structure they use to understand the world and new events, and they're currently comparing him to Josef Mengele.

From our experience, that's still relatively uncommon, but a growing trend.

Are you sure we benefited from that "massive influx of liquidity in their banking system"?

Gitlab is probably at the top of the list of candidates if we go down this road. I don't necessarily need it to be in the same binary as my devops tools, but certainly no further than localhost or another machine on the same network.
They might be, no doubt. I was mainly objecting (unrelated to the article) to the 'smallness' of the neighboring state and to the fact that if something could be considered an act of war doesn't mean it will be one. Bottomless oil well is a good counter to an unlimited war chest.
Tesla has the most complex infotainment system in the industry. More complex software generally has more issues and complaints.

People are going to have more issues and encounter more problems when using Microsoft Word versus Notepad. Word would therefore perform worse in a survey like this. That doesn't mean Notepad is a better piece of software or that Word users would want to switch to Notepad given the option. So what is this survey really telling us?
Neediness is always perceived as weakness. Same with negotiations, the less you need something, the stronger position you have, the better deal you get.
Personally, I hate when they use the word depress to mean "to press something down", because that's what I think of "press" as meaning, and depress to me immediately makes me think "opposite of press" or "stop pressing". To my eyes, it would be much clearer to say "press the brake" or "activate the brake pedal".
tl;dr: when you stop doing something you forget how to do it until you relearn.
Yeah that’s a good point, it also shows up in weird ways. Like when Facebook auth went down a slew of unrelated apps did too because they relied on it.

When I was younger I really wanted one thing to do everything, when chat was integrated into gmail is was like “oh boy, one less app!” And then similar feelings when it connected to SMS... now it’s just “great everything is getting more connected and homogenous and I seem to have less and less options”
Now all that's left is to control the insect (a-la Pickle Rick), and it will give new meaning to the word "bug".

For those that don't know, Gitea forked from Gogs a while back and they are very much being developed with two different philosophy. If you take take a look at the active contributors for Gitea and Gogs, you can tell how much they differ now.

https://imgur.com/ZExNVV4

https://imgur.com/v0fGXgv

There are two active contributors for Gogs, while Gitea has 27. Note, the number of contributors can't tell you if one has higher quality or not, I just wanted to point out the difference in development philosophy.

Given that Gitea has significantly more active developers working on it, we can probably assume it can add functionality faster than Gogs though.

"Should" is a funny word. Seems to be used mostly when one's ideas about how reality "should" work come up against how reality "does" work; from orbital procession to the photoelectric effect.

"Should" is an opportunity many don't take to go "huh, that's funny" and learn something about reality.

"Group behavior should not affect individuals in this way" according to what principles and theories? It does - so, which of those principles and theories are wrong or incomplete? What other forces are at work? Are any of these factors the sort that can be effected by human civilization design, or do they arise from things we can't meaningfully effect? If they're designed, what're the Chesterton's Fences around them?

It's an algorithm, so you're probably looking for a higher level block diagram or something like a pseudocode explainer?

https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/technical-document... has a block diagram

https://www.maximintegrated.com/content/dam/images/design/te...

many of the decisions made in cryptographic algorithms (ie why this constant? why this hardcoded value?) are made as a trade off for security concerns, but also for memory size, performance during calculations, and feasibility of hardware implementation.

A good cryptographic algorithm is a balanced trade-off between all those factors (and more, for example, resistance to cryptanalysis attack would be something desirable as well)

It's not that useful to ask "why" when it comes to cryptographic primitives since sometimes the answer is "because this constant works well and gives us the performance characteristics we were looking for"
There is literally no specific individual discussed anywhere in this subthread...
Gitea has a lot of those features already: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/

Issues with a green 'X' means they link to a feature on their issue tracker.

And, as far as I know, they are working on integrating CI/CD right now. They already have support for other non-integrated CI/CD platforms: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/ci-cd/
I wasn’t referring to that but simply the concern that immunity might be relatively short lived: given how well this spreads even a vaccine which only gave, say, 10-12 months might be worthwhile if it meant that we could have schools, transit, restaurants, bars, churches, etc. able to operate normally.
That's a great point.
Showing project funding is something we had in mind (and in the mockups) but didn't make it to the MVP.
We would probably have to integrate with Open Collective and other data sources.
It's a way of politely saying I hate you but can you hand this over to that person
The Enlightenment Interviews
Yeah, that's right. I am only claiming that "liking a group because they have a history of supporting your personally held goals" is not identity politics. That's barely even politics, although it might be politics. Identity politics is liking a group because you feel a primordial tribal identification with the group. Oftentimes this has nothing to do with whatever the group has done for you.
Fair point. All great accomplishments require some grunt work. This leads one to wonder whether or not people who work crazy hours have a high tolerance for bs and pain or enjoy some of the hard work and perseverance anyways. I believe the latter.

Most of the successful people I know tend to enjoy the process and don't seem to be extremely occupied with results.

But based on the post, I felt that if you want to learn a skill you should have some fun or be interested enough in learning. Setting four hours blocks with specific goals don't help. I believe that it's not that people have problems entering deep work that's causing people not to sit down and read through repositories, but they don't care enough, or enjoy the process of learning that's preventing them from making significant progress.
I just moved and then a few weeks later drove 1600 miles roundtrip to visit family. All total, that's over 90% of the driving I've done since December.

The start was definitely weird, I'd definitely lost some of the skills I had, but 800 miles of highway was really good for bringing that back - I felt back to normal after half the drive

I think people will recover quickly, especially if they're doing road trips over summer.
Standard Ireland stuff. They want to bring jobs to Ireland, so they create international corporate tax loopholes. My understanding is these loopholes mostly allow US tech companies to make large real profits in Europe, have them attribute to an Irish office, but then bullshit the profits away by claiming things like paying licensing fees to themselves, for their own tech, paid to a subsidiary in an even sketchier tax haven. So they have zero European profits, and thus zero taxes, on paper.

This isn’t ILLEGAL, Ireland is literally creating laws to intentionally make these loopholes legal, as it gets tech companies to open offices in Ireland, and bring jobs with them. Many (myself included) consider it deeply unethical, but courts judge the laws, not the ethics, so if you’re like Apple, and basically in a position where you can write your own laws, then you won’t be found guilty in a court of law.
> They ran a randomized controlled trial on the effect of having another person in the room, which is interesting. It does not, however, show that these interviews fail to assess software skills.

The headline of the linked article is indeed heavily editorialized. There were differences between the two groups, but the study didn't conclude that the interview was only assessing anxiety.

> This is also essentially the worst case for having another person in the room: they are completely superfluous, just watching you, not helping, not communicating, not collaborating. Not even saying things that might make you more at ease.

That stood out to me, too. In an attempt to remove the influence of the observer from the equation, they simply put a silent observer standing over the person's shoulder. In the example photo, they have an observer standing almost literally over the person's shoulder, silently, observing their every move. It's not clear if that's how the experiment was conducted or if it's just an example photo, but it's not how any real world whiteboard interviews are performed.

Even the study participants noted how strange the situation was:

"P25 felt unnerved that someone was “watching me and they are not commenting on my progress”
Many commenters were so focused on offerring some git repo hosting alternatives, while it was clearly stated in the post that @yg's main use-case was PR review.

What would you recommend to replace that feature?

https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/ doesn't say much about PRs/Issues unfortunately, but I found this GH-issue which suggest the Gitea do have a review system since 2018 autumn, which seems to be on par with Github's interface:
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/3748

Can anyone confirm this, who used both Github and Gitea PR review features?
You do as Google is breaking termux in the next Android.
Sorry I don't have the full context. It seems like some kind of pattern matching over instructions to put them in bundles.

I think it could be one of those cases where if you had a more obvious representation you wouldn't need a clever algorithm, but there is probably some other reason (good or not) that instructions are represented that way
Not that I'm aware of, because it's a difficult problem. First off, reports need to be anonymous to prevent employer retaliation, but if they're anonymous, then how can the information be verified? Even if it's verified, without extensive input, it's impossible to say if the details of someone's experience is the norm for the company or just about that one part of the org.

Then finally, happy people generally don't go out an write a huge essay on why things are fine. unhappy people will go on-and-on about every bad thing to anyone who listens.

Thus, we're left with disorganized reports on various sites to glean culture. Eg HN comments on the story about Amazon suing Brian Hall. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23461326

For those looking to move within the job market, it would be worth it to talk to a tech recruiter for a few hours who's job it is, is to know company cultures. (Traditionally, if you, the new employee that they managed to get into a company with a bad fit, leaves before 90-days are up, they don't get paid.)
As someone that writes a lot and publishes for public consumption I really appreciated your comment.

Sometimes as writers we overthink the process and lose sight of the entire purpose of writing ie: to communicate in a way that readers value. Oftentimes that means skipping the prose and getting to the point.
Took one glance at the shell script piping curl to bash and red flags went up everywhere! Not only piping curl to bash, but doing it via a bit.ly link. Then Twitter and the media started to pick it up and pass it on unverified. I should have been shocked, but I wasn't. I'd love to see the bit.ly stats for the short URLs added to the article.
why does it have to happen in a high pressure situation with only 45 minutes though? there's no analog to that in professional coding.
