You would have to look into the motivations behind it. From an evolutionary perspective you might expect people to consider it riskier to have a leader they expect to lose a physical confrontation to a competitor, in which case there would be no reason to expect an adjustment for gender.

If I was to make a WAG as to why height discrimination seems to affect women less, consider footwear. 3" heels close half the perceived height gap between men and women on average -- not all of it, but enough to confer an advantage at the same original height.
The way I see it, every law we pass is, roughly, choosing a tradeoff between liberty, safety, and economic productivity. We don't allow people to drive as fast as they like. On the interstate, we limit that to say 75 mph. That leads to more deaths than if it were 25 mph. Collectively, we have decided that 75 mph lies near some optimum. Certainly, some view it as too fast, some view it as too slow. Not everybody has the same risk tolerance.

It's no different with masks.

It is a popular algorithm, especially because it's stateless, but it only works if the maze is simply connected, so a simple loop can cause it to fail.

A simple mechanism that would also make it more interesting would be for wall following to flip handedness at random intervals. That is, the guest would start off by following the wall with his left hand, and then after some random number of steps, start following with his right hand.

I think it makes a lot more sense to look at risk per time, because it's basically the same thing as risk per trip, and that's what I really care about.

If you tell me I can fly to Mars in a few days on a brachistochrone torchship and it's safer per mile than any other mode of transport, you may be right, and a few days cooped up in a cramped cabin might be a small price to pay for such an exotic vacation destination, but that risk calculus is really very misleading. The distance involved is so vast that per mile it could be an absurdly low figure by any terrestrial standard while still carrying an absurdly high (by the same standards) risk of death during the trip.

In other words, if the odds are e.g. 1 in 10 that the trip will kill me, I don't give a shit how low the risk per mile is.
My uncle told me stories about living in rural Michigan, and how the first thing that people did when a road got paved in the area was set up a quarter mile marker.
One thing to consider before defending your rights in court, is that it's going to be public record forever. The cost and the chance of losing might not even be your biggest concerns.

I don't know how many employers check that sort of thing, but I know that if you sue your landlord in NYC, no matter how justified, once it shows up in public records nobody will rent to you. I know this because I ran across court documents where the court matter-of-factly acknowledged it.

This sort of thing is why I think frivolous lawsuits are greatly exaggerated.
Skeema author here -- you're correct that a live DB is involved, but the notion of "truth" in Skeema actually depends on what operation you're running :)

In Skeema, you have directories of *.sql files, where each directory defines the desired state of a single "logical schema". A config file in each dir allows you to map that logical schema to one or more live databases, possibly in different environments (prod, stage, etc) and/or possibly different shards in the same environment.

Most commonly, users will want to "push" the filesystem state to the databases, e.g. generate and run DDL that brings the database up to the desired state expressed by the filesystem. But users can also "pull" from a live database, which does the reverse: modifies the filesystem to look like the current state of a live database, essentially doing a schema dump. So the source of truth depends on the direction of the operation.

Skeema also uses the live database as a SQL parser. Instead of needing to parse every type of CREATE statement accurately across many different versions/dialects of MySQL, Percona Server, MariaDB, (and maybe someday Aurora etc), Skeema runs the statements in a temporary location and then introspects the result from information_schema. This avoids an entire possible class of bugs around parser inaccuracies.

That all said, I do wholeheartedly agree that generating DDL from git alone is both useful and really cool! I actually built a "database CI" product around this concept as a GitHub app last June: https://www.skeema.io/ci/
Esther’s situation is problematic, but extending socialized benefits to non-citizens is a nonstarter and isn’t the case in any of the other Western societies that supporters of single-payer universal healthcare would like to model the US system on.

I am not going to enumerate all the reasons why it’s a nonstarter, but at least one is that it massively increases the cost of any such social program to a point it becomes both practically and politically untenable.

I’ve visited and used healthcare services in many of those other Western countries as a foreigner, and every single time I was required to file paperwork and pay a deposit in cash (or rarely by card) before receiving services. I would not have expected any differently, as I’m not a tax-paying citizen in those countries. On a mostly unrelated note, I write this while currently residing in San Antonio (as used in your example scenario).

I have previously mentioned that employees should be seen as significant investors in the business and should be treated as such.

Apart from "The job" work is not a mental and emotional void. You invest yourself. And it hurts when your investment is ignored or treated as lesser than another human.

Employee pay should be two parts:
- salary as per usual
- significant stock in the business. NB: significant.
50% of stock(non-voting, purely monetary) is for an "employee fund" and come dividend time it is shared equally among employees.
People get their salary they can preen over.
And company profits are tied to individual motivation.

Why should I care if the company does astoundingly well as opposed to being mediocre if I don't have a stake in the outcome?

"It doesn't benefit top earners to share salary information. If I'm making more money than everyone else and the consequences of sharing salaries is equity "

And we all are top earners, right? Statistics tell me most of us aren't. The consequence of sharing salaries is not equity but people being able to negotiate better so most likely average salaries will go up. CEO salaries have been public for a while now and I haven't seen them going down so top earners shouldn't worry. Instead they can negotiate better too.

The European equivalent of the FAA, the EASA are double checking all of the FAAs working here.

Why Are So Many People on Capitol Hill Getting Infected?
> Each of the 911's lighting units includes 84 individually controlled LEDs that allow the car to continuously morph the pattern of its beams. When a car approaches in the oncoming lane, the 911's headlights dim around it while leaving the rest of the pattern bright. [...] Porsche would also dim the right side if road signs on the shoulder were overly reflective.

The article never mentions, but how does the Porsche detect oncoming cars and overly reflective signs?

If it involves a computer doing real-time image processing, I can certainly see why the US government might be cautious considering headlights are an important safety feature for a car.

I also assume a system like that would probably be very expensive. Is this just a luxury feature or are matrix lights actually common in European cars?

Minor nit, but GitHub's gh-ost tool is for performing schema changes, not data migrations. You may be thinking of Shopify's Ghostferry?

Anyway though, your broader point is absolutely correct, re: data migrations typically involve complex custom/company-specific tooling at scale. And it's also difficult to map data migrations to a declarative tool in a way that feels intuitive.

> A private company has every right to compensate its employees with its private capital anyway it wants ...

This is a common kind of one-sided argument. For the sake of argument [1], let's say I grant than an organization has the rights and freedoms like you say. There is another side to it: employees have rights and freedoms too. In a democracy, people can and should use their influence and political power to address their concerns.

[1]: Employers do not have "every right" to compensate employees "anyway it wants". As one example, see the Equal Pay Act: https://www.eeoc.gov/equal-paycompensation-discrimination .
IMGUI is still pretty impressive though. You can certainly create modal/non-modal windows, menus, custom widgets, file dialogs, fonts, drag and drop, unicode, tables without any other libraries. It's just that the approach is fundamentally different from what you see in retained-mode GUIs. (And if you need any OS-specific functionality like file dialogs, you can easily use other external libraries)

One of the few weaknesses of IMGUI is theming though. Don't expect to create one of those fancy Material-themed apps with animations, it's primarily intended for creating dry, technical tools of the likes of game engines and modelling/animation tools. It's more in the mindset of creating 'tools' rather than 'apps', and it really depends on your usecase.
If someone isn't being paid what they want, they should work hard to achieve that pay by making goals that will lead to compensation they would be happy with, prioritizing those goals and figuring out a roadmap to achieving them. Yes some people have a huge upper-hand in life, but that doesn't mean we can't figure out a way to make our own life better. Maybe not as good as others, but better than it is, and that's something.

You can blame office politics, you can blame your lack connections, or whatever hand you were dealt. It probably wasn't a fair hand, but it's on you to make the best that you can out of it.

I don't cry about unfairness. I look at what I want, and I figure out how to get it.

That doesn't mean that a woman at height X is more likely to be a CEO than a man at height X, which was the original claim.

That's simultaneously a very interesting and somewhat plausible claim, which is why I'd love it if someone did an actual analysis of it.

Is there a public dataset available of S&P 500 CEOs of the past two decades, tagged with height and gender? I might take a stab at a simple analysis myself if there is.
Yeah well, I would imagine with the opposite extreme (equalized wages) I would find I would not care as much about work. Why go the extra mile? Everyone gets paid the same anyway. Just min effort your job and save your work ethic for when you are off the clock.
Such system could work in moderate conditions, though it's doubtful. As soon as you get water "dust" in front of the headlight the only thing this tracking can do is to shut off the light entirely, there is no way isolating separate droplets and the cloud of "dust" will disperse the light further into the medium.
Most importantly, like many articles and discussions regarding Rust, this article misses the point. It's not about high end language features. In 99% of the projects it's also not about computational performance (but latencies - memory, network, disc and scalability).

Success of our projects is ultimately shaped by the development process, the matureness and reliablity of the ecosystem (standard lib of Go) and ease of use of the tools, so you can focus on the problem to solve.

Besides of that: I haven't written much Rust, so I can only comment on the Go side:

I never heard of GVM (local env for Go) - probably because it's not needed. Just use Go modules. Really, no need to worry about GOPATH etc.

Regarding the conclusion:

Rust is ultimately faster and uses less resources, no dispute here. However, there're no benchmarks in the article. For the given CLI application, the result would very likely be: There's no performance difference.

However, Rust is not generally safer than Go. Rust is safer compared to other language with manual memory management (C/C++). Rust has a stronger typesystem, but that doesn't mean Rust programs can't panic too.

Yeah, you can make this a lot better by just making the random number in the range 1 billion - 1 trillion.
The way to get a closed form solution for the expected time is to note that there are 2N + 1 states. N states for each notch and each direction, and one "final" absorbing state for the end of the maze. You can write a matrix A where the transition probability between states i and j is given by Aij. Then A^n gives the distribution over states after n steps.

It's been a while since I've done this, but I think the solution is something like the last index in the vector

E[steps] = (I - A)^-1 * (1, 1, 1, 1 ...)

I-A is called the "fundamental matrix" of the markov chain described by Aij.

I believe all employees should be paid a decent wage and it's clear Blizzard is severely underpaying a good part of their workforce. But it's unfair to say that all employees at one level should get the same salary. We try hard to make sure good employees get raises, cause we want to keep them! If someone shared a document around with salaries and someone came to us demanding why they were paid less we'd either have to come back with, ok this is awkward but you're just not as good/productive/etc of an employee. Or you just didn't negotiate enough when hiring.
