This is a normal screw up by the West. The Vedas mention castes in that of division of labour, not division of importance.

I don't believe the British introduced the caste system in its current form (division of importance) to India - more likely it was a very normal evolution during the phase just before the Mughals took India over. Having huge inequality weakens countries and allows people to target oppressed demographics.

The sadness of India being unable to get rid of the system now is that it leaves us open to being attacked again for such a stupid reason when Vedic/Hindu scripture doesn't condone this.

And this is what is happening in the West and especially in the US now. We don't have the caste system in the West per-se, but we've left many people behind. This has become our weakness as they can be easily provoked and guided elsewhere, away from our founding principles. I can only imagine how gleeful enemies of the West feel when they see what we've done to ourselves and how easy we've become to manipulate.
Could someone explain why this was downvoted? Is this dangerous, or does it not perform the same operation?
Plenty of blame for both. The channel is appealing to people to spam crap PRs to inactive projects for the sole purpose of winning some swag, and his followers go spam projects for the sole purpose of winning swag.

One guy encourages people to be assholes, and the people respond by acting like assholes. Both leader and followers are wrong in this case.
Yes. It is easy to tell them apart. But some people are getting over 50 of these in a day, so even if it is easy to tell, it gets annoying and requires you to deal with spam.

That is the thing with spam in general - you can tell it from legitimate mail easily, but is it still annoying and requires you to deal with it.
I'm curious what era this was. Pre civil rights movement?
Well, I guess one reason for keeping it public is literally to demonstrate to other nations that the US is prepared for this kind of thing - but I suspect everyone who needed to know that already knew...

"Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep* it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?"
> The idea of GPL is to move towards better software, better rights of users of software and developers of software.

Maybe that's the idea of GPL, but certainly not the reality. As long as it more enforcement won't help. But I'm still all for it. Makes sure companies fund better software with better licenses and the GPL ends in the garbage bin of history where it belongs.
I believe having application state defined independently of the UI components is very helpful in separating concerns. I can debug the state of the application as data only, without needing to dive in to the UI components hierarchy. UI is just a representation of that state and there can be more than one such representation.
Singleton isn't bad if it is used only for reading the data. Mutable global state is the problem.
This is untrue, just survey the top earners, top media personalities, news network owners, etc - very few are Brahmins. Even look through past prime ministers.

Any recommendations?
In some contexts, decomposition into easily workable scope of complexity.
If only more languages supported quote operators like Perl. They really do make certain things like this so much easier.

Non interpolating quotes:

q/I wasn't surprised when he said "boo" and game me $5/;
q@I wasn't surprised when he said "boo" and game me $5@;
q!I wasn't surprised when he said "boo" and game me $5!;
q(I wasn't surprised when he said "boo" and game me $5);
q[I wasn't surprised when he said "boo" and game me $5];

Interpolating quotes:

qq/Hello, $name!/;
qq!Hello, $name\!!;
qq@Hello, $name!@;
qq(Hello, $name!);
qq[Hello, $name!];
qq'Hello, $name!';

Rule of thumb, single q for single quote string (non-interpolating normally), and two q's for a double quote string (normally interpolates).

They live in a society that is not your society. I think it is entirely possible, and anecdotally even likely, that they do not realize what they are doing.
It's not even so much about stylistic choice but about the historicity of it. Van Gogh belongs to an era in art history. If you chose to paint in this style today it would have a different meaning, even if it looked the same.

The way these photographs look is as much part of history as what they portray - whether intentional or not. These enhancement processes will remove that part.
NV Access | Brisbane, Australia | Full Time | 100% REMOTE (Australia) | Software Engineer | OPEN SOURCE

Use your Python / C++ skills to empower blind and vision-impaired people globally through technology.

NV Access is a global non-profit organisation, based in Australia with a 100% remote team, dedicated to the ideal that access to technology should not incur an extra cost for blind and vision impaired users. The purpose of NV Access is to lower the economic and social barriers associated with accessing Information Technology for people who are blind or vision impaired. NV Access develops the free, open source NVDA screen reading software for Microsoft Windows, enabling more than 100,000 blind and vision-impaired people across the globe to access computers.
We are looking to appoint a full-time Software Engineer to join our small team. Your work will focus on improving our NVDA screen reading software and related online infrastructure, including feature implementation and bug fixing.

To apply for this position, you must be classed as "An Australian Resident for tax purposes".

Wait!

Some people have left biomimicry in the dust and are manipulating matrices to sets find optimal parameter sets representing concepts.

Other people (https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/) haven't! There is a big community of people building novel types of neural network using spikes and so on.

And you are right - it isn't clear who is right. On one side the "no nature" folks might say : we don't even understand neurons to the point where we can definitely categorize them in a mouse brain, let alone explain their behaviour, or actually properly measure their behaviour, and so on and so on - this before understanding any of it really.

On the other hand the "lets mimic things we don't understand" folks would say - we need to understand this because the human brain out performs all AI today on a 20 watt budget.

My view is the understand stuff agenda is right - but not now and probably not for 20 years (in a big way). We need small scale capability and direction finding work - and we will need to do that for a long time.
Same here. I really like it, because it just does what I expect from an RSS reader.
That doesn’t necessarily require that the entire queue is totally ordered, but the alternatives (such as Virtual Synchrony) are still considered arcane / research topics.
> Why would you hope he doesn't? Wishing harm on any human isn't a reasonable stand to take just because of political beliefs.

Sue, but there is a distinction between beliefs (including attenuated actions like voting behavior) and consequential actions here. If it's legitimate to use deadly force in self defense, it's certainly must also be to wish deadly harm as, while not an ideal outcome, a better-than-status-quo one on one that is the source of ongoing, conscious policy with unwarranted deadly harms for which there is no probable other immediate remedy.
It’s fairly trivial to tell a spammy PR from a legitimate one by just looking at the content of it. Even if a docs change by an Indian account who joined yesterday, if it fixes a real typo or something then it is legitimate is it not?

Rebuilding the Economy Will Require [Us] to Think Differently Than 2009
This is in relation to VAT classification. Bread is a staple food product and is exempt of VAT.

There was a similar story with Jaffa Cakes in the UK a few years back with an even more interesting tax rule specifically for biscuits covered in chocolate, but not cakes covered in chocolate. So they argued whether Jaffa Cakes (which are covered in chocolate) were biscuits or cakes...
IANAL (and law differs around the globe) but...

discrimination is prohibited towards protected categories. i.e. gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation... on top of it, most of those aren't things that you choose yourself.

With the possible exception of religion (you're born into a certain culture, so "by default" you might feel affiliated to a certain religion, so asking people to renounce that would definitely be oppressive), and veteran status (which is not a protected category around the world, I think... though it is in the US)

If you self-select into a segment of the population that no one is born into[1], yet it's lawfully discriminated against (i.e. felons ITT) I'm afraid that you don't have a good case to protect yourself from such discrimination.

[1] Unfortunately, systemic racism and the plea/prosecutors/bail system make it so that people in certain segments of the population are more likely than others to end up involved in crimes.

Nuclear strategy accurately reflected in Dr. Strangelove with the (fictional but strategically accurate) Soviet deadman switch, whose effectiveness was blunted by being secret rather than known.

I love it if people send me PR fixing typos or improving documentation.

The problem a lot of the hacktober fest PR don't do any of that.

E.g. on the rust repo some one added a bunch of PRs which add "### The best" to some readmes.
If you plan to send logs from a mobile app or a javascript frontend app, we created a tool called Bugfender (https://bugfender.com) that will help you. You can use it for free up to 100K logs and then we have paid plans to fit almost any budget. For server logs, there are a lot of tools that will help you.
I wouldn't recommend you to create your own service, might look easy at the beginning but it ends up being very complex (this is how we started Bugfender, creating a tool for ourselves but it get more and more complex).
There is a good paper which gives an overview over the many ways and areas in which a brain perceives time.

TLDR: It is complicated. Tasks like creating synchronized drum-beats use different brain-areas than, for example, estimating whether 10 minutes have elapsed.

> "For example, the estimation of a 1h interval seems to be related to the duration of wake time of an individual, whereas the estimation of seconds and minutes is related to body temperature"

Hah, Michel got me at the end with the plot twist.

If I could add a feature to MobX I would add a built-in easy way for serializing and deserializing state to local/sessionStorage without having to reach out for 3rd party library (which aren't even that good). I think that functionality is very vital for any web app.

After that, I guess my biggest issue has been the injection of stores into other stores. It feels a bit dirty and can get messy. Maybe if instead of injection, MobX could offer a context based solution. And then nudge people to build their stores around specific API route/data to make them composable and smaller than the gigantic stores they sometimes come to be. Then you could easily separate the part of the store that is about how to fetch/send data to the API and the part that formats/modifies the data for the UI.

I don't know, maybe that could work. Love MobX either way and hope they keep up the good work!
Leftist States pay (or forgive taxes) to get employers to move in, but employers already trapped in those Big Government hellholes pay their employees to GTFO. It's not hard to guess what will happen to those states.

I fail to see how that person can be blamed for making a video showing how to make pull requests.

It's the organizers of the Hacktoberfest who make people look for his tutorial.

What's next, blaming people who create "Learning To Program" videos on all the bad code that exists in the world?
Us politics has major effects on world economies and power balance. No country is an island - even the ones that literally are, but the US especially so.

Even the US civil war had long reaching effects on other countries - and were far more connected now.
There are not many countries who did nuclear weapon tests and even those that did, did not do it in such numbers. Maybe russia, but I doubt that would push the numbers much.
The main import of pedigree collapse is that it affirms that humans are one single race.

Wide knowledge about these planes basically makes them worthless.

Theoretical agressor would make sure to track and take all of these planes out first, together with other command centers, satellites, relaying stations, etc.

Russian version - “dead hand”, uses hidden underground rocket silos (and mobile as well AFAIK). Upon loss of “ping” from a command center, rocket is launched across whole country, broadcasting launch codes for all nuclear rockets to start.

Likely US has something similar as well. Maybe even E-6B is a decoy/honey pot.

Are those clocks based on actual time or something else like reactions to lighting or number of heartbeats (which probably averages out to the same amount per day)?

I use https://cortadomail.com to get RSS feeds (and other sources) in email. I personally really like the workflow of getting a daily digest of all of my RSS feeds in a single email each day. (Disclaimer: I built this tool.)
Gamasutra was best for this w/r/t essays. GDCVault has a good selection of talks if you dig around. Re books, the Boss Fight book series (I think this is possibly what you alluded to) is generally of a very high standard, though the books are not just purely about development.

Edit: takes a bit more digging, but gamedev.net can be good for this. Particularly when there is a long running thread where a developer documents their progress -- the thread documenting the development of the "Return of the Obra Dinn" is the kind of thing I have in mind

Edit: wasn't gemdev.net, it was the Tig forums for Obra Dinn -- here's them collected on Reddit:

Just so you have a reference for US prices, I'm with T-Mobile here in the US and pay ~$120 a month for 3 phones iwth unlimited data plans (although my speeds are throttled if I use my phone as a hotspot).

Nice. Is there a reason why this has to use macOS? Ubuntu also supports virtualisation with either QEMU or VirtualBox, but my impression is that it is faster on Linux than on macOS.

How long does the VM process take from start to finish: From download FreeBSD -> configure VM -> Create VM -> Boot FreeBSD?

You only have to look at places with universal health care to see if they have issues with "Moral Hazard".

Do people in the UK, Aus, Canada, France etc engage in more unhealthy activities because they have access to good healthcare? And I would say the observed answer is no, the population doesn't engage in more risky behaviour.

And you pay for healthcare anyway to cover emergency rooms that have to serve everyone so hospitals don't all go bankrupt. And then that cost gets put back on the insured... who have their employer pick a plan for them... who then have insurance middle men nickle and dime doctors to give imperfect, but cheap treatments. Or doctors just try to do lots of tests/imaging because they know the insurance will cover it.

Not having universal healthcare is truly the worst of all worlds. There's no benefit to it unless you are an investor, in the insurance industry or are rich enough to not care about the public at large.
Yeah housing is cheaper in other areas. But everything else costs the same. An iPhone or a Honda Civic costs the same everywhere in the US.

Leaving the Bay Area will lower your housing costs, but everything else you buy will take up a larger percentage of your income than it did before. Plus you'll be making less money -- in some cases, a lot less. Run the numbers and you might find out that even after paying for a Bay Area mortgage you would have more money in retirement in California than you would in a cheaper place.

Don't move for cost savings. The economic benefits are not as strong as they appear to be. Only move somewhere if it's actually where you want to live.
