Stop right there. Man and woman are biological constructs. You don’t get to identify as one or the other.

Could you explain more or maybe link to some example of what you have in mind? With my UI hat on, it’s interesting to see how people represent complicated systems visually, or how they’d like to. Even if the specific application isn’t immediately relevant, it might be useful inspiration later.
Really the problem is gender isn’t.

Top-level functions are defined with 'let'. I wonder if 'const' is more likely to be inlined?

Array's are given a flag property 'sh'. I wonder if adding a property to an Array drops it off Array operation fast paths? Perhaps interferes with its optimization on element kinds?

Functions are given a flag property 'm1' xor 'm2'. So shape polymorphism, different hidden classes, and associated burden on inline caches at call sites, property accesses, etc. Better to always set both. I wonder if adding any property to a function drops it off function call fast paths? Or interferes with inlining? Perhaps these flags might be avoided using 'Function.length'?

I wonder if there's some low-hanging performance fruit here.

It’s not sound and ultimately it’s based in the grief of people who believe they have somehow lost their child (or spouse, or sibling) because they transitioned. I don’t want to minimize the pain of people who have this mindset, no matter how destructive it is. Their sense of loss is genuine and it drives them to the same level of commitment that you see from parents who lose a child to a drunk driver. But, while the pain is real, the loss is either not real or is self-inflicted. Trans people leave the lives of people who won’t let them be themselves, but we don’t stop loving our family because we’re trans.

More people are transitioning, at all ages. More of the people who do so are visible, because of modest reductions in stigma and because there’s no longer a requirement that we disappear and cut all ties (the medical establishment used to require this). Your typical 40-50 year old parent has no idea how many of the people they went to High School and College with are trans, because they were hidden. In much the same way people had no idea how many people were gay. So this looks like an explosive change. I do expect we will see much less late transition (later than early adulthood), because more of those trans people will transition earlier.

So, why are more people transitioning? Because it’s possible and they understand it to be possible, not because there are more people who are trans. This is why it’s happening across all ages. I am a late transitioner. I started to transition as soon as I understood three things: that being trans and transitioning was a real thing, that I would not destroy my life by doing so, and that trans people can live happy fulfilled lives.

What about desistance? Some small percentage of people who transition decide that it wasn’t right for them. Most of them because of oppression, but some because it doesn’t work for them. This is much smaller than the set of people who regret that they didn’t transition, or that they waited so long to do so. It’s lower than the rate of regret for any elective surgery. There is some risk that non-binary kids who emphatically reject their assigned sex at birth are getting social pressure to conform to the other end of the binary. The pressure to be not trans at all is still very high. High enough that I don’t worry about cis kids being pressured into transition.

And there are many trans people who don’t need or want to transition, who find sufficient expression or acknowledgement in other ways. They aren’t less trans, you just don’t know they are.
The really annoying thing is that some mail is multipart where the text/plain is just “sorry, your email client does not support html”. Yeah thanks a lot but it does, it’s just I have it set to prefer text/plain, because I don’t want to look at the html dump version unless I have to.

If those people had simply sent only text/html and not a useless text/plain that only says that kind of stuff then everything would have worked fine.

Stuff like that makes me want to quit using mutt, and no fault of mutt mind you.

But laziness has kept me to using mutt for reading my self hosted mail for many years now.
For me it rarely comes up. When it does I've already spent at least 60 minutes with my prospect and I respond with "no" and move on. Some folks are persistent and maybe, case by brief case, I pick.

Sometime I choose to give a deal to a person for my own reasons, so my one-off pay portal is used there as well.

Or one-off a client for additional money.

A wonderful and amusing anecdote that shows how both types differ. This comes from "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers," a book about the mathematician Paul Erdős.
You shouldn’t be allowed to use transitioned unless there is literal gene replacement happening.
You can use the self-hosted version at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/try.html . I haven't built any direct way to run it locally yet; you have to require docs/bqn.js from Node.js, and then call the result on strings to run them. You can also call test/tj.js with any number of string arguments to evaluate them and print the results (as formatted Javascript objects, not with nice formatting).

This stuff is all shifting underfoot now, as I only put the online version up yesterday. I'll probably make a real executable/REPL to use locally pretty soon, and I also intend to make some or all of the code blocks shown in documentation dynamic so you can change the code and reevaluate.
Caligula looks hot. I’d date him.
After working in robotics for a few years, I came to the realization that people (applies especially to managers) don't recognize when they are bringing the wrong instincts to a problem. If you come up through software, you develop one set of instincts, EE another, and ME yet another set of instincts. When making a decision, step one must be identifying the appropriate set of instincts to bring to the problem.

Once upon a time I worked for a manager who could only bring software instincts to any problem. He was dismissive, even, of ME problems. But not every problem can be solved in two-week sprints and pushed over LTE to the fleet. (Actually, if you want a good start-up idea, find a way to push a field update to a 5 kilo aluminum casting over LTE -- I'd invest in that.)

But here is the thing -- unless you can synchronize the release of software + electronics + mechanics, you don't have a robot. That means design, validation, component tracking, field updates, maintenance. You always need to take a step back and ask yourself what instincts to bring to a problem, and if you are weak in one/some of those areas, learn who's instincts you can trust and bring them in.

I am presumptuous enough to believe this applies to IOT mechatronics as well as robots. (Actually robots need more than SW+EE+ME, but this rant is already long enough.)
There was the apple gpu fiasco. Apple laptop GPUs were failing at an extraordinary rate in 2010-2011, and Apple were getting harangued in the media about it (which was justified). Apple eventually announced a program to cover replacement of the GPUs, but it was very delayed. I'm 100% convinced the delay was caused by Nvidia refusing to accept responsibility. When the program was released, in order to have the repair completed at no cost, your computer had to fail a very specific graphics diagnostic, and the failure would be linked to your serial number in Apple's repair CRM. At the time, no other apple repair program had this requirement — Don't get me wrong, it makes sense to use diagnostics to verify hardware issues, but they aren't the only tool you can use. I'm convinced Nvidia only would reimburse apple for computers that had a recorded failure of this specific test.

Since 2014, apple has almost exclusively used AMD graphics cards in computers that do have discrete GPUs, and I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest this was motivated with their terrible experience with Nvidia.

(I'm aware I'm not really backing this up with evidence, but I think the publicly available facts about the whole situation support this narrative)
It doesn't matter. Non-white people without steppe ancestry are pretty much uniformly dark-haired and don't have names akin to "subflavum" for traditional hair colors, because light yellow/gold hair just isn't a thing, regardless of what exactly they conceive of as "yellow/gold".
I think you don't need to buy first book to understand second book if you already built a simple web application with this or similar stack.

Later this month I plan to somewhat re-write first book, many packages push changes often (Next.js and Material-UI) plus many explanations can be improved and I need to do better job with diagrams. First book, Builder Book, is either for junior developer or someone who wants to save time to learn this particular stack.

I hope this helps.
I assume it’s mainly first year calculus since the defining characteristic of running is that it’s repeated launching. Since the downward vector of gravity is a constant I’d imagine a foot to same foot distance is sufficient to solve for speed.

And this is just my first thought as a semi-educated layman. I have no doubt the experts who study these things think of and solve for many other factors. I may not be able to reproduce their work but I can judge it plausible.
Google it maybe? Here's one example thread to pull at: why did Apple stop buying nVidia GPUs across their entire hardware line? EGLStreams is a recent pain in the ass. nVidia's infanticide of OpenCL with CUDA being another painful reminder that nVidia doesn't care about your software needs, just their own.

It's really not hard to find a company that nVidia's pissed off with its dealings.
It’s not clear to me what this means. I’ve never made any positive choice to be a man. I’ve never told anyone “I’m a man”. But everyone somehow concludes that I’m a man.

What does it mean to “identify as” something?

They've both had their moments where they got a bit too full of themselves as well. Taleb in particular.

I think there’s some MIPS and SH-3/SH-4 smartphones from the early 2000s still around.

I had an SH-3 PDA in 2001, but Microsoft dropped support for SH-3 and MIPS in Windows CE by the time “Windows Smartphone 2002” came out (my 2002 HTC Canary runs ARM, IIRC) so it’d have to be a non-CE platform. What did the Palm Handspring use?
Agreed, I can't deny the vast gains in efficiency. But I'm also referring more to bosses and owners of capital squeezing wherever they can, including reducing headcount but reducing work/business.
Interesting, thanks.

One nit I would call-out is that most people don't put a space between the print and the ("hello world"), so idiomatically when learning, print is 'just another function'. And since HelloWorld is usually the first thing people learn, I wouldn't want them to think print is different than any other function.

Also, the first line of The Zen of Python is "Beautiful is better than ugly", I can understand why consistency was a priority here.

We could get into a whole other discussion about whether or not a programming language should have and adhere to a "culture", but fundamentally I agree with the arguments against Python making this change. It's just not worth the effort, and like others have said, they might've lost of a lot of momentum to JS.
I think the photographs are all of properties on which property tax is paid. Also, I loved in that building too, when my ex-wife was doing her medical internship at the Animal Medical Center.
Agreed, just pointing it out. In our system, we had to display 'Taiwan, Province of China' for the Chinese users, and 'Taiwan' to everyone else, though that was just UI and the backend treated it identically.
That’s why we disable force push. Then it’s a nice historical backup.
Your criticism targets the idiosyncrasies of this particular paper but ignores the multi-front of genetic, neuroimaging, and physiological scientific literature investigating this phenomenon. The author's hypothesis did not occur in a vacuum, nor was this study the one that first proposed it.

In the end, the criticism you present seems like troll-baiting the culture wars, making political what scientists are pursuing in good faith with the scientific method using data and hypothesis.
I read the article and looked at the Zillow analysis. Of the fasting growing large cities only Seattle was considered for comparison. The fastest growing big cities being: Austin, Seattle, Fort Worth, and Charlotte.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities...

In Fort Worth they cant build houses fast enough and developers are giving up on building houses to instead focus on apartment complexes. I wonder what impact Covid has had on these areas with astronomical growth.
You can replace the --exec 'ffmpeg ...' with just -x (or the long form --extract-audio).
> This guy is the designer of F# complaining that C# is not more like F#.

History, by way of the C# design team, has validated his opinions. Don Syme has had a massive influence on C# even when one degree removed from it's design. His complaints should be considered carefully.

> Companies generally take huge losses at the beginning of the cycle and a very modest profit towards the end.

This sounds like a claim about cumulative profits, no?

Maybe you're instead suggesting that either prices rise or manufacturing costs fall over the lifetime of a console?
Yes. And in Python I’ve used this: you can just say f = x.dot and then call f(y), which of course is the same as x.dot(y).
I've counted two instances of me bringing examples of his odd behaviour, in a total of two comments. Your assertion of "whenever his name is mentioned in any context" feels like I'm missing some cases considering how many times his name was mentioned in this sub-thread.
NVIDIA can compete based on the superior performance of their products, but that's not enough. They try to attempt lock-in by encouraging software writers to use CUDA and not use OpenCL.

In many projects that support both, OpenCL and CUDA often give similar performance, and in some, OpenCL is faster than CUDA. So CUDA isn't about getting more performance - it's about excluding everything non-NVIDIA.

I suspect that NVIDIA's gameplaying is what led to Apple deciding to not use NVIDIA in any Macs for the last several years.
Free will can certainly be modeled probabilistically.
> Even controllable home HVAC dampers are rare.

I've got two in my house! Of course they weren't wired to anything, and one of them had its wires hidden behind drywall (and the accessible one seems to be broken, but I'd have to disassemble the ductwork to figure out why). Thankfully, the functional one is actually pretty useful, and I was able to hack it up so call for cold/heat closes off the basement, preventing the basement from turning into a freezer. Of course, if Nest would give us an API (again), I could also modulate the cooling if the basement gets too cold.
I didn’t see any anger in this thread so far.
The roll-out of AAC (which was designed to address the problems with MP3, but was not backwards compatible) was slowed a bit by expensive licensing fees for hardware manufacturers and the lack of a good free encoder (though there were some very poor implementations)...

By the time this was sorted MP3 had gained massive popularity on "teh scene" and was soon followed by napster etc - the rest is history, so yes it's all about the "brand recognition" now sadly.

Most people could have a better sounding music collection in about half the size required for MP3 safely... still at least disk space is cheap these days.

The unfixable problem of MP3s "shortest allowable blocksize" causing audible smearing on transients will be with us until the format is abandoned, but I won't hold my breath.

These days for the best quality lossy audio you want AAC-LC encoded with either Apples encoder or the open source FDK-AAC by Fraunhofer (developed for Android) but fully cross platform... or Opus for a completely free and open codec , but still not yet as widely compatible.

The author is diminishing the bigger picture geostrategic issues such as trade, security, influence and state control.

This has little to do with 'expression or values' - they are hardly part of he equation.

TikTok is a 'large Chinese company' which means it has deep ties to the government. TikTok users were apparently partly responsible for screwing up Trump's rally. I don't actually believe China was behind this, nor are we sure how much said users had an effect, but the fact that this is plausible is a very, very serious concern.

Authoritarian states are getting really, really good at controlling information, it's much more effective than nuclear threats.

That most of us happen to loathe Trump (who as far as I am concerned would for TikTok to ban negative videos of him if he could get away with) is besides the point.

The 'tit for tat' issues are not issues of 'values' - they are mostly issues of trade asymmetry, and there are very legit concerns there.

The notion that one state could have so much information about another state and act coherently on that in the context of a fairly aggressive, almost Imperial plan, is something we're going to have to contend with very soon.

Edit: I should add that values/freedom of expression do matter of course, but they are absolutely not the driving factors underlying this issue. Arguably not even part of the equation at this point.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have no agenda here. I have one trans friend (that I know of). After seeing the topic on Rogan's podcast I did some quick searching online and it opened up a few lines of thought I hadn't considered or wasn't aware of.

Yeah I thought we might end up having to temporarily stick some ply across it or something when we moved in, but it's never been an issue. Our kids are psycho daredevils who don't listen for shit, so I have to assume it's just not that interesting to them. I think the diagonal sheet metal in the hole helps. Effectively, the hole in the ceiling under it is offset by the width of the hole itself, and the metal directs stuff between the hole in the floor and the hole in the ceiling under it, which means that you can't really get a good look at stuff falling down. You can see it go through the hole if you look in at an angle, but not the fall to the floor. The metal itself would be rad as hell to slide hot-wheels down, except it's pretty short and you can't see the car fall on the other side very well so I guess it's more fun to just throw them off the stairs, or the deck, or whatever. Its residing in a small, boring linen closet probably helps.
