> Systemic oppression is not erased by hard and honest work of the descendants of oppressors, it must be actively fixed.

But it looks like these measures do not solve where the systemic oppression exists. Systemic oppression exists mostly in wealth inequalities, and somewhat in society that restricts access to education for those who are oppressed. Given that is the problem, the solution should be to provide high quality universal primary and secondary education. Taking number of STEM engineers by race/caste and trying to force universities to discriminate in admissions does not solve the poor quality of public school education
WireGuard default UDP port is open on my home router. This website says 404. Why? Because the scans don't scan full UDP port range, is my guess. I trust this with regards to TCP.

Nah, it just made me feel sad that a medical doctor and respected writer began to believe conspiracy theories over peer-reviewed science. Like yeah, media and scientists are actively lying to us while the industries that would most benefit from covering up climate change are beacons of truth. Hmm...maybe he is like Assange..

Yeah, but it was pretty obvious who were the former slaves. There was no "nuance" about it.

When the tell-tale signs aren't physical, but small, subtle difference, they are easier to erase. You can change your name, religion, what you eat, and how you talk. So if those are the signs of your ancestors' caste, they probably won't last for generations in the west unless there's a conscious effort to preserve those distinctions.
Crichton's later works had that effect on me, too.

For me it was the contrast between what I'm looking for in a SciFi book and what Crichton writes. I like SciFi that asks an interesting question and then tries to (speculatively) answer it. What would the world be like if <X> was different?

Crichton pretty clearly adopted a pattern of "OMG THIS TOPIC IS A DISASTER!!1!!1!! READ THIS THRILLER TO SEE THE DISASTER!!11!!". I exaggerate, but not by much. At some point each of his novels had a theme, and each theme was some well-written disaster porn. What if genetics goes awry (Jurassic Park)? What if nanotech goes awry? Etc, etc.

Which was sad for me - he was a good writer, and I enjoy reading his novels. It's just not what I'm looking for anymore.
Jiras come and go, code is forever.

Docs, even internal, or perhaps especially, should be in the same repo as code for this very reason. That wiki you’ve got? It’ll be replaced and data migration will fail. Git history will be there to cover your behind.
People actually did do just that. Historically, high altitude balloons where used study the atmosphere and gather temperature, pressure, etc. Then it’s just a question of shining light through various atmospheric mixes to see how they respond to sunlight. Rockets and satellites then refined our understanding over time.

The basic question of global warming is a fairly simple physics problem, it’s because people care so much about absolutely tiny differences that such complex models are used. Aka Mercury vs Venus surface temperatures closely line up with simple models, but on earth people care about +/- 0.1 C and even more so in terms of local weather patterns.

You could just block all cookies and make exceptions to enable them for the few websites that you need to log in.

The only downside is the GDPR warnings keep coming back. I've been making custom CSS and JS injection rules to get rid of GDPR warnings though by removing or hiding them from the DOM -- any Adblock-style plugin to get rid of all of those? If I hide all the GDPR popups with custom CSS, I will have never seen them, and therefore never agreed to them, and if I block cookies they can't track me anyway.

There are also always going to be contrarians who don't need any more motivation than a long shot at being the lone correct voice. They serve a useful purpose, but unfortunately are often too appealing to folk who want to believe a different answer that isn't fully vetted or isn't honestly taking a wholistic approach. I'm contrarian by nature but loathe to preach my crazy ideas because I'm probably wrong.
Long Covid: 'My fatigue was like nothing I've experienced before'
It doesn't require a PHD, you don't have to count on models, because it has already been happening for a long time. The complex models are necessary to put tight bounds on the outcome, but that it is going to get warmer is easy to show.
>That doesn't sound healthy at all because it represents an unneccessarily huge disruption

It's no different than you or I dying, just on a much bigger scale. It's a huge disruption,
sure, but that's sort of the point. Civilizations come and go, as do the people in them. There are just too many variables for things to be able to persist in a stable state in perpetuity.
What can possibly sustain that rate (other than cloning another SSD of the same make over and over)?

The wear speed is actually the same as a 970 Evo @ 500GB, 3GB/s and 300TBW. There’s zero chance you’ll hit that during a normal computers lifetime even if you run data science tasks all day.
Amazon launches exercise bike with Echelon: Meet the Prime Bike
The enclosure you linked says it is SATA only. The Optane drive interfaces as PCI-E. Note this photo here:

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61vzuDqQjJL...

In the specs for the Optane drive you linked, it says its interface is a M.2 2280 (22mmx80mm) PCI-E 3.0 NVMe. The M.2 2280 is a physical port interface, the signaling is PCI-E, and the storage protocol is NVMe.

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/135581/...

You'll want to get a different enclosure which mentions support for PCI-E NVMe drives. EDIT: I wonder what the impact of it going over USB and the additional USB to PCI-E controller. You should probably see about getting a Thunderbolt enclosure so theoretically the PCI-E interface doesn't have to go through yet another translation, otherwise you'll probably just kill the performance you'd hope to get out of the SSD.
a couple did. but digging any further goes a little over the line into stalking territory as far as i am concerned, even tho a lot of this is publicly available information. as long as react continues to be in active development i dont think its worth prying too deep into sensitive stuff like this (not likely to get a "real" answer anyway)
I handle that by linking src/backup.sh as bin/backup Then if I rewrite it as src/backup.py I just change the bin/backup link to point there instead.

Maybe not - but I'd guess that some combination of lack of chronic disease like obesity/diabetes on top of mask usage helped a lot.

If the lack of chronic disease leads to less severe covid, you'd expect the nosocomial spread factor of the pandemic is lower.
I mean, I'm sure norwegian dating sites have age/location info of their user base too. I thought the point of contention was that sending this data to a foreign country was the problem.

Beside the point of media narratives, I think it tends to depend on the type of work being done. IMO, it's a lot easier to effectively collaborate remotely on most types of software, particularly cloud/web software. It's much tougher to imagine it working out well for troubleshooting electrical or mechanical issues in hardware prototypes.

There's too many tests that can only be done hands-on and require expensive and delicate instruments. Too many issues that can come up with engineers using different physical prototype hardware and different instruments, misunderstanding communication about what is being measured where, misinterpreting results. And too much time overhead in shipping things around the country constantly.
The article makes basically the same point - over 90% of immigration from India to the United States is of upper class Indians.
I personally read through a zip archive of the emails, and my non selective reading they looked pretty damning.

For those interested in the actual email zip, here's one working link I found.

The top level README.md contains what the compilers thought were some of the most damning texts, and give reference so you can see the context for yourself.

Here are some from the README.md:

The "Aggressive development" point is what got me to switch to VSCode from Sublime. While most of my colleagues were switching to VSCode, I stuck with Sublime, after never fully jumping into Atom for performance reasons. However - and I'm assuming due to the open source nature of the platform, or the accessibility of JS vs Python, extensions were just higher quality on VSCode. I think the Go extension is maintained by Microsoft themselves. Very soon things just worked better in VSCode.

Learn lazarus, what's that: a data module. A neat way of grouping related data sources and sharing them between forms which can query datatables.

Learn spring boot. What's that? Services. A neat way of grouping related repositories which can query entities.

Turns out if you learn one thing very well you know a lot of other things that are similar in nature.
The problematic aspects of climate change aren't its first-order effects. The worst case scenarios involve warming by a couple of degrees Celsius - much smaller than existing variations from day to day or city to city. The only reason we're concerned is that we expect, based on climate modeling, that a worldwide shift of even this relatively small magnitude will have large second order effects.

I dunno about a better standard library but I do think Ruby has nicer syntax. You can use back-ticks to run system commands, like:

listing = `ls -oh`

puts listing

puts $?.to_i # Prints status of last system command.
Thanks, that does answer my question quite thoroughly:) I intended the question not as "how would I get my shell" but as a "how would I pipe commands together", which now that I think about it is perhaps the real issue: I think about solving many problems from the perspective of "how would I do this in /bin/sh?", but perhaps the real answer is that if you're doing it in Python (or whatever) then you should be writing a solution that's idiomatic in that language. Or if you like, perhaps one doesn't need to "standard library" of coreutils if one has the Python standard library, which means that many of the thing's I'd miss in Python are hard because they aren't the right solution there.
> You can't exactly make a wifi doorbell, or wifi thermostat, or wifi lightbulb, or wifi security camera, without storing a wifi password

What I am thinking of doing for the outdoor weather station I will someday get around to finishing is to have it be on a separate WiFi network. To get data from it you will have to connect to that WiFi network.

Inside the house, I'll have an RPi or something like that which has WiFi and Ethernet that will use its WiFi to connect to the weather station's network and Ethernet to connect to my home LAN.

If someone steals the weather station, the only password they get is the password to the weather station network, assuming that it has one (not sure yet...may make it open so that anyone in WiFi range can connect and read the data).

Same thing for the automatic wildlife camera I'm contemplating. Probably that will go on the same WiFi network as the weather station.
They're just buying time to make more money. And the way to maximize profit is to invest in what would keep most of your doors open right this moment. "An Inconvenient Truth" came out in 2006. It's already 2020. Politics is also key. The difference between Hillary and Trump must have also been huge.
We have decades of data at this point that it has been getting warmer, and that less energy has been escaping into space specifically in the spectrums that co2 traps ( from satellites), in exactly the amounts expected from the c02 delta we have measured over that time (from isotope analysis, we can tell that WE added it via burning fossil fuels)

It is as certain and clear as science ever is. The idea that it isn't is due to propaganda that is very convincing.
>You milk the current situation as much as possible while at the same time keeping an eye on alternatives.

Whenever I see news releases about huge oil companies investing in alternatives, this is exactly what I see.

Deny until you have no choice but to admit. Then get into the game and make even more money trying to fix what you broke.

It's just, well, sociopathic behavior, from my perspective.
It's good for JS. It's ok for Golang, since there doesn't seem to be anything better that's free. But I still feel it's an editor trying to be IDE. I love it for markdown/asciidoc though.
would have been nice to see something like, “this could mean className attribute reverts back to standard class and other attrs go back closer to standard html implementation, but that would probably have more far reaching effects that could cause more churn in ecosystem and react related libs

VS Code, the text editor, is a trojan horse.

Microsoft is selling you into the IDE, in small portions. This is similar to the IBM approach with JAVA last decade(s?).

You install a "text editor" for simple things, like code completion. Before you realize you don't even know which compiler you are using or where it came from. You just press F5 and look at convenient break points. And somehow it only runs right on Azure :) the last one is a joke (for now?)

As a language popularity grows, it approaches the Java curve. Just like nobody who uses `npm` like (or know) maven, nobody using VS Code know about the old java IDEs, and how they become todays Java IDEs. Or how the React monolith is the same as the Java Monolith.

I guess people mixing up java and javascript in the 90s... just thad more, long term vision?

I wrote some swift maybe 4 or 5 years ago when I was doing mobile app stuff and had access to a Mac. I remember finding the language pretty enjoyable, but considered its xplat potential questionable. At the time, I believe it did run on linux and people were touting it as a solid platform for building server side applications. I dont think that was ever realized though.
Speaking of which, as a light user of VS Code, is anyone else completely confused by the project / workspace interface? I'm always confused as to what project or workspace I'm in and what file is associated with what workspace, and what mode I'm in. The UX could use some love with the onboarding experience.

> One question I regularly keep asking here, who made us doubt nuclear. Are all green parties funded by Big oil.

I've posted this before in response to this conspiracy, but I have to ask. In the US, why do people think the environmental movement had anything to do with stopping nuclear?

The environmental movement, though hardly a monolithic group, was unable to stop the expansion of coal, fracking, offshore drilling, or so many pipelines from the fossil fuel industry over the past half century. It's clear when money was on the table, the fossil fuel industry won time and time again.

So if nuclear were such an attractive and cost-effective option, how was an entire industry, led by some of the biggest companies in the world, derailed by a movement that's never had much national political power?

The simpler answer to me is that it either

* building multi-billion dollar nuclear power plants is not as safe or cost effective as proponents make it out to be.

* actual powerful players like big gas and oil saw a threat and crushed it like every other big industry, through captured politicians crafting favorable regulation

Tinder is just a toy. Though I actually met I’ve person IRL (angriest woman I have ever bought dinner for), and one other person who was visiting in MA and said we should meet when she comes down to NY. But as I texted trying to set up the day, I got the idea she was really fishing for a sugar daddy to put her up in a place in NYC—Brooklyn, and then the Bronx, and then she went to ‘LA’. Haha. After that, I resigned myself to just treating it like a tomaguchi where I pretend I’m looking for a date. And for the record all my clothes were on and no cars were present.

Text editing is mostly a solved problem, and arguably done better elsewhere. VS Code makes improvements on interacting with particular languages / DSLs.
I'm not a fan of VS Code because everything is a plugin.

And plugins are inconsistent, buggy, inconsistently documented, hard to use and find and update and goodness knows who developed them. Plugins can be duplicated, outdated, abandoned and incompatible.

But worst of all, a big pile of plugins isn't a consistent integrated product vision.

I gave VSCode a solid go, and I had to keep installing plugin after plugin, but it was truly painful trying to find where in the interface to use the plugin and how to use it.

It reminded me of using VIM as an IDE - not an IDE, a big pile of stuff that isn't integrated. I started using VIM as an IDE when I started programming and I believe it cost me a year of time - I should have gone straight to a consistent integrated IDE.

I prefer a batteries included approach such as the Jetbrains IDE's.

I absolutely do use VS Code - it's always loaded, but I only use it like a simple text editor.
