As twitter only has about 5k Employees having more than 1k ie over 20% with access like this is shocking and the fact that "j random "contractor" has access even more so.

Twitter needs to get serious period and not just blue checks.

Also a lot of the other FANG type companies are effectively CNI - I think they need to start properly vetting people and I mean real security clearance possibly including TS

Yeah, if you're looking for a list of women doing important things in computer science to inspire young girls, you really really don't want MtF people there, it gives the opposite impression.
A dance is a pretty good metaphor for full contact sparring with a ref. Any other kind of fight, just don’t. Just get out of there. It’s not worth fighting over for long, if ever. The most OP fighting move is refusing to fight, opting not to strategically, and only fighting when absolutely necessary, like legally or morally necessary. Be like water. Support life and only crash when it’s time to rock and roll.
It would also exclude venerable people which is the problem with the real name idea
The TRO means that there can be actual punishment, fairly swiftly, for violations, because violations become contempt of court for which the court can issue civil penalties on a near-immediate basis. All the things that make holding government agencies and government agents accountable and laborious are cut through when there is a specific court order and not just general law in play.

...until it fails. I am a person who's perseverance towards my life goals caused depression, anxiety, and panic disorders. And almost my life.

I wanted to become a top scientist. Yet, the academic path is full of disillusionment (mainly with the system).
Perseverance gave me the power to go through sacrifices one after another and to carry on.
However, only after I let it go (and turning to data science / deep learning), I became much happier and emotionally stable. (A longer version here: https://p.migdal.pl/2015/12/14/sci-to-data-sci.html)

"Perseverance is good" is a dangerous survival bias fallacy.

Brings to mind a dark dystopian corner where this could take us - as imagined by Stanislaw Lem in his 1971 "The Futurological Congress" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Futurological_Congress

It is a short and highly recommended read.
These should all just have been pragmas with their own syntax. I would even accept something as heretical as "@" for the pragma command, e.g.

@build linux
@generate <cmd> <args>
@C #include <stdio.h>
@cgo CFLAGS: -etc
@embed path/to/file

Maybe these could even be come kind of code that you can write yourself and define your own pragmas and code transformations by passing some lib folder to the compiler with prebuilt compiler extensions... Ah well.
Yeah who isn't hahaha
The difference here is an immigrant is coming into the system of their own volition, while black people in the USA are born into the system. Both immigrants and black people (and many other groups indeed) suffer greatly but one has been pushed down for centuries and, while the methods are less obvious now, the economic inequality is rooted deep in the system and will affect people for generations to come.

I haven't walked a single step in your shoes, and I don't know what racism you yourself have experienced.

However, having been in predominantly Chinese and Korean social circles, I have had more than a few conversations on the subject and have observed quite a bit of racism towards Asian-Americans.

The racism I've seen against Asians from whites is primarily mistrust, not fear. A racist hiring manager is likely to look at you and think you'll do good work for the company, but they'll have to keep an eye on you. I think it's rare that racist idiots look at your skin and think you're dumb, lazy, and violent.

I think the racism against black people in the U.S. is different both in kind and degree vs. the racism against persons of East Asian or South Asian decent.

As far as dating, as a white guy over 6 feet tall, I've run into a lot more Asian women who seem primarily interested in dating guys over 6 feet rather than Asian women who seem primarily interested in dating white guys. Maybe that's a common convenient lie because it's more politically acceptable. However, at least 2 of them later married 6-foot tall Chinese guys, and I think the majority were being honest about their preferences.
Here you go.

> It's not uncommon to see "VHDL is bad" and such like, and I do wonder what the reasons are for those comments.

VHDL is bad because it's bad at prototyping and implementing digital hardware [1]. One reason why it's bad at that task is the mismatch between the hardware you want and the way you have to describe it in the language. For example: You want a 32-bit register x which is assigned the value of a plus b whenever c is 0, and you want its reset value to be 25. VHDL code:

signal x: unsigned(31 downto 0);
...
process (clk, rst)
begin
if rst then
x <= to_unsigned(25, x'length);
elsif rising_edge(clk) then
if c = '0' then
x <= a + b;
end if;
end if;
end;

The synthesis software has to interpret the constructs you use according to some quasi-standard conventions, and will hopefully emit those hardware primitives you intended. I say "hopefully", because of the many, many footguns arising from those two translation steps.

[1] Okay, I concede that in theory, there might be a use case where VHDL is perfectly suited for, which would make VHDL a not-bad language. But designing digital hardware is not such a use case.

It's a topic where people default to doing more or less counter productive things because they are not clear on goals.

Basically, if you have some kind of cloud based server infrastructure and you do logging, the goal is to get it aggregated in a place where you can do something productive with it. We are talking about a time series database where it is all about the metadata and less about the message. The message is still important but only if you can query it out of millions of other and possibly very similar messages without too much hassle.

Fallacy #1 is believing that a log event is a string. It's not. You might believe it is a string and format it as a string and you might even have some semi structured way of doing that and tools that feed your confirmation bias by treating logs as lines of text. But in the end you something is going to be picking that string apart to extract some meta data just so it can be inserted in a database and aggregated to the right place. Half the success is not losing the data that matters through wacky formatting, using the wrong tools for the job, etc.

Of course this picking apart if strings is a lot easier if you use some kind of standardized log event format. Which one is appropriate probably depends on where you aggregate your logs. The trick here is avoiding building assumptions about this into your software and avoiding prematurely discarding information that upstream aggregations might benefit from. A lot of stuff happens in between where you invoke some info or warn function in your code and where a message gets stored in some log event aggregator.

Some of the better logging frameworks typically have these features: log levels, an API for logging, an external way of configuring the output of the log engine (formatting, coloring, filtering things out), and some notion of attaching meta data to the events.

The latter is one of those things that are super useful but also one that relatively few developers even know is possible. If you are unfamiliar with the notion of a Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC): this is where you put any structured information related to sessions, thread ids, and other context. Preserving this information all the way to your log aggregator is the goal.

"Lets head out - somewhere - and find somewhere interesting, or some people that are interesting, and stop when we find something that fits. We might fail a few times, but it'll be an adventure"

The middle two ships can do this just fine. It just depends on your perspective and what you want from it.

I've been told much of my life that I should be following the ways of the last ship: But to tell you the truth, the only way I'm going to get some of the things I really want is through luck - and to a point, work that I don't really want to do, if we are being honest. But following that 'interesting' thing? It has worked out really well.

It means that bad weather isn't really an issue either - that just leads me to different things of interest. Hopefully, I don't get a surge of ship-destroying plagues. I'm unfortunately close to that - I was diagnosed with MS 1.5 to 2 years ago. But hey, my stuff is pretty mild right now (and I'm over 40) and hopefully it stays that way.
GDPR really doesn't cover this

I know that people with access to some telecom systems in the UK have to have been vetted some even to DV level - ie the same as if you where working for a TLA.

The trick is, on a scissor switch (or butterfly) keyboard the key travel is so short there is no really hitting bottom. Yes, from a mech keyboard perspective you "hit bottom" every time, but I find it a superior typing experience over trying to catch that halfway point when the key is actuated.

I have to say low profile blue switches offer quite a nice typing experience though, quite comparable with scissor switches.
Their software is average compared to maybe other web services, but when compared in the segment - the alternatives are often even worse - I came to Garmin from the Suunto world and it was a big step forward - before, i was facing constant syncing issues, very poor sync software, migration to a newer platform at Spartan watch era was a sad story (multiple different web platforms, missing functionality, etc). Garmin works pretty flawlessly for me, though I'm primarily using Strava for all the analytics (or used till they limited their free tier recently)
Social media do actually have a lot of political influence - at least those which curate and promote certain content. They are the ones who control what kind of information gets consumed by more eyeballs and what kind of information gets suppressed, or at least displayed less prominently.

It's not about "social media companies are censoring me", but rather "social media companies are censoring what I see".
I guess I’m one of the 28%. Politicians, the government, megacorporations other than social media, and the police as well as entire associated bureaucratic law enforcement organizations have too much influence, period. The protests on all sides are a reaction to and expression of that rejection of unwanted, nonconsensual influence over free people. Social media is the megaphone of this protest movement. This is the establishment trying to chop the heads off the hydra, while counterprotesting heads stir up trouble and confuse the narrative on all sides. Will it work? For whom?
The technical implementation isn't the the fundamental moat.

The real moat is the advertising/monetization. The ad revenue drives content creators and now in 2020 likely the (presumably quite insane) operating costs. Sadly the harsh, Disney-esque moderation appears to have been necessary for this.

This is also why it seems unlikely why we'll see an alternative, more open Youtube: It won't be able to able to compete on ad revenue.

It has taken Google 14 years to get to this level. I wonder how many 10s of billions of dollars have been spent in the process.

> pilots are mandated by the FAA to keep them up-to-date.

I think the FAR says, "all available information" which is an indirect way of saying up-to-date.

In the US, you could use expired databases as long as your device doesn't lock you out, though it wouldn't look good if you had an incident. Buying a paper copy would be good CYA.

In Canada, they change the fix names, so you would need to buy paper copies in the meantime.

Your comment does not make too much sense to me as a layperson. As far as I know, therapy by talking is still being done and research is still being done that investigates how it works. Scott and others have implied psychiatrists (individuals not the field as a whole) still try to avoid self-disclosing.

To me his choice to remain under pseudonym is communicated as his choice, not policy. If therapy by talking is still considered useful and he thinks self-disclosure has an impact on that, it is sufficient for his choice to be sane.

I appreciate that you highlight self-disclosing is contested, but calling this "pulling a fast one" seems excessive to me given your reasons

It's definitely one of the least technical ones in the list, but "Weapons of Math Destruction" is a must read for anyone deploying models that directly affect users. Its general point is that opaque judgement systems, such as how social media platforms these days seem to arbitrarily remove content, are only going to get worse with black box models. AI ethics are seldom taught, and this one provides a good framework for thinking about how to build effective, yet fair systems.
I really like the discordian calendar as it replaces chaotic months with regular 73 day long seasons, which are based on numerology. The only thing that was overlooked was the beginning of the year.

A variant of the "No Screaming" rule (which funnily enough mentions "The only acceptable differentiator is to use different log levels, like WARNING and INFO"):

Don't log at an unnecessarily high level. It's tempting to do this when you're working on a new feature e.g. if everything above WARNING goes to the console maybe you'll make your new feature all WARNING. This is partly just for ease of debugging while you're developing, and partly (especially for junior devs) because it feels like your new feature is way more important than everyone else's so it needs to be logged more loudly. The right way to do this is to make it configurable per-feature what logging levels go to the console.
