What is the actual definition of racism is being used here?

Is it the one advanced by Critical Race Theory, which is along the lines of: "The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people."

Or is it the one that most people use: "Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another."

These two definitions are mutually exclusive. You can't be a fence-sitter here!

Furthermore, they so different that I think that the Critical Race Theorists need to create a new word to describe the concept they are trying to slip into the language. Why is this important? Well, for starters, racism is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and institutions such as Princeton University run into legal trouble when they make use of the new idiosyncratic concept masquerading as actual racism. https://www.scribd.com/document/476441457/Princeton-Letter-0...

Behavioural profiling is perfectly fine, racial profiling is not.

The problem with algorithmic based approaches is that they often embed naive correlations that apply population statistics to individual people - this is exactly what you don’t want.

I am working on https://mockoon.com for 3 years now. It's an open-source API mocking application. It got a decent amount of users, including some big companies. While it doesn't bring any revenue yet, I believe I am at a turning point, and I should double down on this project by working full time on it. But it's a tough decision!

What stops them from just running simulations at CPUs outside the organization's control? It's not like an engineer can't go to their home computer, open a terminal and SSH to a server, which could be in the opposite corner of the world. Even if all official simulations must be logged, which I suppose will also appear in the rules, running a few rogue simulations and looking at the output will give big hints about which official simulations one should choose to run...

I have connected to supercomputers and ran expensive experiments (not for F1 :)) from all kinds of devices, from phones to borrowed crappy netbooks, and from all kinds of places, like bars, the beach, etc... so I don't understand how that kind of regulations could be enforced unless they physically lock the engineers up for the season.
Note how this is in most jurisdictions illegal. You are now pirating, except you paid for it.
Fully agree. I ride a CBR 600 and although I of course like the sound I really wouldn't mind if it was silent. The acceleration of EV motorbikes is insane as well. And top speed doesn't even matter because of speed limits on public roads.
Of course, for you as a racer, top speed is a bigger concern.
We don't purchase products anymore, at least not digital things. Instead we're always buying a service.

Buying includes a very short period of trust between you and the seller, where you give them money, and they give you the product in return. Sometimes there's also a long trust involved due to warranty, but more often than not those failed me in the past, so I stopped taking them into account when making a purchase.

But a service is a long term relationship between a customer and a service provider, and those ALWAYS failed me, if they existed for long enough.

Amazon does not sell books to Kindle, but instead provides a service of renting Kindle books. The cause of confusion here is them using a wrong term to describe what they do.
Like all relationships - when the cost of staying in is greater than the cost of getting out.

> I disagree a lot with this article's opinions on PHP. It sounds like coming at it from the perspective of someone who hasn't used it in over a decade. Modern PHP with frameworks is just about as good as it gets for web development.

hard disagree, but I'd love to learn more of the things that PHP is good at when compared to other frameworks and languages. Rails & Django are the frameworks to beat in terms of completeness and productivity, Flask/Sinatra for python/ruby flavored micro frameworks, NodeJS for massive concurrency and parallelism (Node does support threads as well as subprocesses) and large (sometimes sketchy) ecosystem and ease of contributions. There are the compiled languages as well with various advantages -- single binary deploy, speed, error avoidance with compile time type declaration/inference, etc.

What does modern PHP and a framework (like Laravel? what is popular in the space these days?) do better than it's contemporaries do? IIRC HHVM which seemed to be a bright spot (?) was abandoned by FB... Would love to hear about PHP's bright spots from a PHP enthusiast.
Thanks. I haven't tried ZFS so far for historical reasons: the post describes the latest evolution of my NAS; in fact, there were several hardware versions before with the hard disks being transplanted (and later upgraded) from the previous to the next. The filesystem structures are over a decade old, having been upgraded from ext2 to ext3 and now ext4.

The next thing I will try out is dm-integrity.

> government policy continues to insist that home prices can never depreciate

Those policies are for old people cashing out, rich people buying investment properties, and even richer people who own real estate developers. What do you think are the odds that in... let's say 5 years, either of these groups will have less weight in public policy making than they do today? I think it's very, very close to zero.

In markets like Canada, lack of government investment in small towns, NIMBYism preventing density, and high rates of immigration, mostly to big cities where the jobs are, put consistent upwards pressure on real estate prices despite the end result sucking people dry. I think we'll sooner see negative interest rates to prop up further spending than a government willing to address this crisis head on.
It shouldn’t be doing this, but it is

In my opinion this still remains the conclusion, as it has been for the past decades. I cannot remember when I read a bit on Sleep() behavior and timeBeginPeriod() but I remember that what I read was enough to make clear you just shouldn't rely on these (unless you're 100% sure the consequences are within your spec and will remain so), also not because the workarounds are also widely known (IIRC - things like using WaitForSingleObject if you need accurate Sleep).

China confirmed human-to-human transmission on Jan 20[1].

China shutdown Wuhan on 23 January[2] (notice this was after human-to-human transmission was confirmed). Wuhan airport was closed[2], and Chinese did stop all travel out of Wuhan[3]. There are many reports of people escaping the lockdown that night, but it doesn't seem this was some Chinese policy - more that events were moving fast.

It's your country's responsibility who enters its borders. The Trump administration moved fairly quickly and closed borders to Wuhan by Feb 2, which was earlier than South Korea (but later than many countries).

I don't think many would fault that part of the US response, but it isn't exactly clear what people think China was hiding in this period - remember this was the time when people were seeing pictures of the lockdown in Wuhan. Countries can make their own judgement about the severity.

Not sure if you are just trolling or malevolent on purpose. I did read the article and it literally says that is the intent and text of the law.

Quote from the article:

> More detailed rules from 2008 list products that should be preferred to medicine and antibiotics "provided that their therapeutic effect is effective". These include homeopathic products, but also various vitamins and compounds of mineral origin.

Quote from the law:

> Phytotherapeutic and homeopathic products, trace elements and products listed in [...] shall be used in preference to chemically-synthesised allopathic veterinary treatment or antibiotics, provided that their therapeutic effect is effective for the species of animal.

Article 24, Section 1: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

Let me borrow a quote from Tim Minchin:

"By definition, Alternative Medicine has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call Alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine."

So the EU law actually says that ignorant quackery (herbal medicine) and fraudulent for-profit quackery (homeopathy) shall be preferred to any natural or synthetic remedy that has been proved to be effective (allopathic = evidence based medicine).
Isn't intent required for something to be racist?

Not to say that something is good and acceptable if it disadvantages one race over another without intent. It just seems the word racist is being diluted to mean something less.

Come on, how can you have such a grim outlook? Nobody will “effectively block” open source tools. Consoles can afford to. Phones are being challenged. Everyone else won’t.

From "The description of YAML in the README is inaccurate" https://github.com/KenKundert/nestedtext/issues/10 :

> I will mention something else. The section about the "Norway problem" is not quite accurate. Some YAML loaders do in fact load no as false. These are usually YAML 1.1 loaders. YAML 1.2's default schema is the same as JSON's (only true, false, 'null and numbers are non-strings).

> Any YAML loader is free to use any schema it wants. That is, no loader is required to to load no as false. Good loaders should support multiple schemas and custom schemas. The Norway problem isn't technically a YAML problem but a schema problem.

> imho, YAML's biggest failing to date is not making things like this clear enough to the community.

> Note: PyYAML has a BaseLoader schema that loads all scalar values as strings.
I think that's just a lie motorbikers tell themselves. Exhausts are pointed backwards. Cars are built so well today that they barely let in any noise. I was surprised so many times while driving a car, because a motorbike was suddenly overtaking me out of nowhere.
I can't even hear a motorbike passing me when I am on a motorbike myself, up to the point when the other rider is right next to me.

They maybe help pedestrians and cyclists, but cars, trucks, other bikes etc. don't really hear motorbikes.

There are some commonly used which you should know. A school of fish, for example. A flock can be used for both birds and sheep, and it is very frequently used. A pod exists but is less common.

I'd also be fine with the T&C's saying "For any reason, we can terminate the services we provide to you, and we will refund any money's paid with interest".

That way, the company can decide to keep the evidence to themselves and not need to go to court, but must forgo all revenue from your account.
this is a civil case. this is not criminal. there is no police.

the onus is on the company to go to court and do this. And this gets rejected. because indian courts have rejected non-competes as a matter of policy.

I would suggest you recheck the ground reality. And yes i do run a company in India.

See https://gohugo.io/templates/data-templates/.
If data is SQL, a simple API server to serve up the data at generation-time is the preferred approach.

Pelican and Hugo are the two generators I'm comfortable. Both have a plugin ecosystem - my guess is that something close already exists.

Otherwise, Pelican source code is simple to understand and extend. If I were to implement this and if the data was static or changed only occasionally, I'd read my custom data source, add that data to the Jinja template variables and access them from Jinja HTML templates. For fast changing data, I agree with the export to JSON and render from Javascript approach already suggested.
> What is the point to run RAID6 on 4 drives, instead of RAID10?

With RAID10, if the 'wrong' two disks fail, the array will go offline.

With RAID6, any two disks can fail and the array will still be online.

EDIT: The author has also demonstrated that they've gone through various growth permutations over the years. 4 disk RAID6 under md-raid has a supported growth mechanism, allowing you to add additional disks and have it restripe data automagically for you. It's not a good idea as far as performance is concerned, but for a home use nas that is primarily intended for streaming media, it's not a major issue, and enables you to grow to your heart's content (even if it is a bad idea, as I successfully proved growing from 4 disks to 16 over a few years, before respinning as multiple 6-disk arrays)
The funny thing about that it is a perfectly understandable perspective from someone bent on wooing companies to come to his town (i.e. focused on the immediate needs and demands of his perceived clientele), but at the same time completely misses the big picture.

I guess it would be an easy trap to fall into, but you would hope that someone going to the trouble of trying to learn about how another place did things would be a little more receptive to unexpected things.
Expenses. Currently the top spenders are Ferrari and Mercedes. Both spend somewhere around $330 million (US) per year (and Mercedes has spent a total of $1.4 billion over the course of these current engine regs developing their car -- that's just development, not race expenses.). This is a beyond insane figure, but it's worth it to them for the marketing. Meanwhile smaller teams -- the teams you need to actually fill out a grid so there's actual racing to watch -- are probably around the $100 million/year mark.

F1 is almost purely play-to-win, to use a modern coinage. The aerodynamics involved have been so insanely optimized that teams spend millions per year to employ some of the best aerodynamicists in the world to eke out another 0.005 secs/lap over the competition.

The performance gap between the top and the rest is fairly proportional to the spending gaps. In recent years it's been Mercedes winning every championship, with Ferrari winning a share of races and Red Bull stealing one or two. Those top 6 cars are often a full minute ahead of the pack after just a dozen laps or so. The rest of the cars have no chance at all. This year it's even worse as Ferrari got caught doing something illegal so their engine has been nerfed. Mercedes just drive away at the start and are almost never remotely challenged. Now in this environment, how many sponsors/car companies want to spend hundreds of millions per year just to tool around multiple minutes behind the Mercedes cars? It's just not a good investment.

And many good ideas to counteract this (reverse-grid sprint races on Saturday to decide starting order on Sunday, as opposed to traditional qualy, at select tracks) are lampooned by the fanbase for being untraditional. Unfortunately if the sport continues like this there won't be any traditions left to uphold at all; I understand their complaints but it's a delicate balance.

The latest attempt to restore some modicum of balance is spending caps. The only chance F1 has to survive long term is to encourage new teams to the sport and discourage current ones from leaving, and that means (a) limiting spending across the grid, and (b) not allowing the top engine manufacturers free reign over the formula. Unrestricted research/testing would hasten its demise because it's just another opportunity for the rich teams to spend more. And point (b) above is what killed the LMP1 class; engine manufacturers exercise political sway to make it harder for other manufacturers to enter/win/compete, but then the grid starts dying and those manufacturers pull out, leaving a set of ossified regulations that make it almost impossible for new engine manufacturers to enter.
any possible theories on this?

leaked PII doesn't have credit card information
My sentiments exactly, I see no reason to support a model where I pay for something and it turns out that I'm not even an owner because there's a mention of it somewhere deep in the 500 page EULA. Which totally mirrors the experience of going to the bookstore, picking a book paying for it and... that's it, you can do whatever you want with it.
I'm sure someone will point out that I agreed to these terms but the last time I checked a "store" doesn't lend things, it sells them, so it's easy to claim I have been misled.

Self reliance in 2020? We are all part of massive machines now, and nobody is walking back.
I don't think you are reading the response correctly. Software is affected badly from power outages or sigkills whether you have queues or not.
The only reason overtaking currently happens is because of ERS (this "boost stuff") as well as the relatively large benefit from the Drag Reduction System in high speed sections, so I have to disagree. It would be even more boring than it's already become with Mercedes domination.
What are you talking about? The DRM-free downloads are right there under "Backups" tab?
C++ coroutines are not more „part of the standard library“ than rusts async support. One might say it might be less, since they arrived so late in c++ lifetime and more Production libraries have been built without them und mind.

And again, they don’t make GTK and Qt and boost Asia eventloops interoperable. Even if you implement co_await support for each of them individually
and it holds potentially less important data. I know many influencial people including first line politicians in my country that use whatsapp on the daily, while I really can't see any of them sharing confidential information on instagram of all places.

And yes, using a service like that is an extremely bad decision in the first place, but that's where we are right now.
If you break the rules of the contract what makes you think you get your money back? If you want a refund you should be required to prove that the company was the one that violated the agreement.
F1 teams have severely unbalanced finances.

There's a small number of teams that keep winning and have most of the fans. Having the fastest car this year gives you a leg up next year, having the fastest car attracts the fastest drivers, and having the most fans gives you negotiating leverage over the governing body.

For example, Ferrari have so many fans and so much negotiating leverage they get given $100 million every year - a "heritage bonus"

Uncapped spending would mean all the other teams would either go bankrupt, or be completely uncompetitive.
Actually, according to recent testing by ArsTechinca [0] performance with RAID the topic is more complicated.

The testing is focused on ZFS but, quoting from the conclusion:
If you're looking for raw, unbridled performance it's hard to argue against a properly-tuned pool of ZFS mirrors. RAID10 is the fastest per-disk conventional RAID topology in all metrics, and ZFS mirrors beat it resoundingly—sometimes by an order of magnitude—in every category tested, with the sole exception of 4KiB uncached reads.

The largest problem is that it's incredibly easy to build a car faster than any human can reasonably control. This has lead to so many accidents and rule changes that F1 racing is a wholly artificial sport in terms of engineering.
