I remember facing this situation a couple of times and all I did was ignore the initial "Hi", after a long time my interlocutor would insist "Hi? Are you there?"; and then I would finally reply "Yes! I just thought you would continue to write your message and I was waiting".

This "play dumb" strategy worked great for me and I think it has less risk to be perceived as "rude" compared to sending a link to the nohello.com site.
When I was finishing my undergraduate studies, I was confused about why African American students I knew (social circle, roommates, class projects) were all performing so poorly academically. It took a few years to realize that the African American students who would have fit in perfectly in my classes all went to a higher ranked school, and my school had to reach down to "meet their numbers".

The students who get bumped up to a better school (and graduate) end up getting better paying jobs, but it must cause a lot of people to form negative stereotypes along the way.

Maybe a better solution would be to provide extra help to disadvantaged groups before students are academically segregated.

That’s part of the thesis of the article. Some populations mix more than others. In the mixing populations the threshold will be higher. In populations with limited mixing, lower.

20% of NYC can have the virus and the general level for herd immunity can still be what is postulated. NYC is incredibly dense compared to the rest of the USA and as such will naturally have more mixing and a higher threshold than say Topeka, Kansas

Yale uses legacy status — which is discriminatory against applicants of color — as an admission criterion.
Compilation parallelism is generally bounded roughly the number of independent compilation units. For my main codebase, that is in excess of 1200. That is, on a system with 1200 cores, I could use all 1200 cores productively, at full capacity (ignoring disk i/o waits) [1]

My impression is that few games (if any) can ever approach this level of potential parallelism. There are not many tasks in computing with this level of "embarrassing parallelism".

[1] somebody actually did this with Ardour once, on a system with 1024 cores. The current normal-system compile time record for the software is a little under 5min (Ryzen Threadripper 2950X + 64GB of RAM). The k-core system completed the build in less than 10 seconds :)

I worked on a project where the client wanted to switch to Authorize.net from Stripe midway through because of Stripe’s cost. From a developer perspective, it was a lot more miserable to work with than Stripe. Other projects I’ve worked on have had a similar motivation for not using Stripe.

Annoyingly, the cost of implementing the replacement and getting it working with React Native (which involved creating native modules for iOS and Android) ended up costing them as much as several years of fees. Also the client was a startup that went bust, so they never really got the value out of it that they hoped.

Well, you asked for it, so: the #t gives away that you're more comfortable with Scheme than with Lisp, I suppose those string functions are present in some Scheme dialect as well, but they sure aren't in Common Lisp (not with that syntax at least). Scheme is quite dogmatically a functional programming language, Common Lisp is decidedly a multi-paradigm language. With that it shouldn't surprise that the article's author chose to write into a string in an imperative programming style. I don't think it would raise eyebrows in the Common Lisp community. There's more than one way to do it.

Maximizing the Window (1997)
Asian Americans make up 5.6% percent of the total American population and Yale has ~19% Asian students. How can you claim Yale is being racist? Should the number of Asian students at Yale be higher? And why should it be higher? Which numbers should be lower at Yale so there should be more Asians, and why?

White 43%
Asian 19%
Hispanic/Latino 13%
Black or African American 8%

If your claim is that Yale should be accepting students blindly on merit only, and that as a result the number of Asian students would go up, then it would be hard not to conclude that you think one race is superior to the others and should therefor be accepted at a higher rate than their representation in the general population. Or is there some other conclusion you could come to?
We agree that Chamber is a great wrapper that makes working with Parameter Store much easier. However, we go a bit further where we have a visual dashboard that makes it much easier to manage secrets in different projects and environments as a whole. In Doppler you can easily edit them in a dashboard, inherit from other configs or reference other secrets. We also have permission control, audit logs, versioning and rollbacks.
In your case, no more need to run `chamber write ENV_NAME SECRET_NAME SECRET_VALUE` to sync each secret to each application/region combination you have.
We also have a direct integration with AWS so that you can automatically sync all secrets to Parameter Store, should you want to continue pulling from it in production.

Why is the manager talking about religion and sinfulness of certain private preferences at work? They are unprofessional and I would ask them to stop such conversations. Should they persist, I will raise it and if need be - start thinking about working elsewhere.

If the first manager fires her because of her gender, we can take him to court for unlawful dismissal.

There are many mean individuals out there. That’s because we all have capacity for discrimination and ultimately violence. The call to stop discussing politics at work might result in fewer such frictions and keep us focused on the job at hand. A more productive and socially cohesive outcome in my opinion.
Indeed. I don't know anything about New Relic apart from that summary, and it seemed to contain enough information to get started making a similar product.

I think their potential customers likely understand the jargon used, which is really just "serverless" and perhaps "monolithic", maybe "platform".

I don't understand OP's problem with "observability", though. I don't think that counts as jargon, and it doesn't seem like a hard English word to understand. A dictionary would have helped more than Wikipedia, in any case.

Destroying copyright would make some business models go extinct.

However, society should use IP laws to maximize the societal goods of creation, not to keep the entrenched players' businesses profitable.

There are hundreds of ways to monetize creative works. It's laughable to think that creativity will cease if we don't allow 70 year rent-seeking on the products of that effort.

I think 90%+ percent of "societally useful" IP revenue would be preserved if copyright terms were only 1 year. If it was eliminated entirely, artists would move to crowdfunding and commission based methods of getting paid for creation.

I think the first half of last century's music industry is an interesting example: back then the vast majority of artists rose to prominence by playing already-popular songs before transitioning into their own songwriting. How much is creativity squelched by the current system where licensing is at the arbitrary discretion of the IP owner, and how should society weigh this against the potential reduced economic incentive to create works if cultural products become freely distributable?

> Don’t forget: upfront pricing.

Again, I can't remember ever having that problem.

If I had to phone call the taxi--I always got a price. That's fair as the price needs to be high enough to roll the taxi.

If I didn't, then the price was specified--$X from Zone A to B and $0.Y for time spent not moving.

> And how do you know they took the quickest route?

This is questionable even with ridesharing. I regularly have to fight with drivers going to my airport in the morning. "Look, I know your route says go via State 666. Don't. It's completely green now but in 10 minutes at 6:45AM that road goes from green to black AND you can't change route once you're on it--it will take 40+ minutes. Go via Interstate 13--it will take 20 minutes, tops. Everything will be fine, and, if it isn't, you can get off the Interstate and take another route, of which there are lots."

And those are exactly the kind of routes that cabbies use to inflate prices. See: Las Vegas--a good cabbie moves a couple of streets in the wrong direction to get away from the strip, moves most of the distance, and then works back to your destination.

There's a thing called Cycript for jailbroken iOS that, among other features, allows you to attach to any process and then gives you what's basically a command line interface to the objective-c runtime. It's a godsend for reversing iOS apps.

It should also be trivial to implement a similar tool for Android using Xposed framework.
Not only will you be viciously attacked for questioning BLM, but an open source maintainer at Facebook was publicly attacked by coworkers for politely declining a request to put a BLM banner on the website for an open source project (he stated he wanted to remain apolitical, without giving an opinion).

Social advocacy is a spiritual replacement to religion and supporters are even more fervent.
I like this direction of discussion, and I think affirmative action actually is acknowledgement of what you're saying - that we don't have any way to push back in the exact same direction. So the idea instead is to work on equalizing the opportunities and outcomes and just hope that helps equalize the cultural forces, right?

What does it mean exactly to stomp it out where you see it? How do we see it and how do we stomp it out? What if it's hard to see, or difficult to stomp out?

> The BBC is vocally critical of imperialism[0], at least on a surface level.

I'm not sure that's a left/right issue, unless it happens to be the 1950s (there are some surviving imperialists on the right, and ~none on the left, but I wouldn't expect the _average_ Tory voter to be too gung-ho about how great the empire was...)

Also, that site is a GCSE revision site; I think that's just the history curriculum. And nothing seems particularly over-critical on the page you linked.
I think that's a rather weak point. I know many people (including myself) who are white or Asian and did not come from college educated families.

I think legacy status is a bit ridiculous, but legacy status admissions benefit those with higher socio-economic standings, not those of a certain race. The issue here is one of discrimination based solely on race. Legacy admissions are a weird from of classism (and therefor some degree of racism, I suppose), but not of race-based discrimination.

I think the difference is quite important.
That's probably wasted 3 seconds of my time this year

There's always the option of typing your stuff in another program entirely and copy/pasting. Sure, not everyone would be willing to do that, but it's really not that inconvenient if you know your keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+a, ctrl+c, alt+tab, ctrl+v in that order, easy for a competent computer user). And socially anxious people may be more comfortable with that overall.

But as those chunks [of time] get separated and fragmented, my productivity as a novelist drops spectacularly. What replaces it? Instead of a novel that will be around for a long time, and that will, with luck, be read by many people, there is a bunch of e-mail messages that I have sent out to individual persons, and a few speeches given at various conferences.

That is not such a terrible outcome, but neither is it an especially good outcome. The quality of my e-mails and public speaking is, in my view, nowhere near that of my novels. So for me it comes down to the following choice: I can distribute material of bad-to-mediocre quality to a small number of people, or I can distribute material of higher quality to more people. But I can’t do both; the first one obliterates the second.

Right, so we can say "we both think that better backup software primarily targeting the enterprise and government market is good for society" (and as you say that is a statement with political ramifications) and still disagree on just about everything else.

They're only free in certain circumstances: personal transfers, and only for some bank accounts.

This is a long and market-y way to basically explain two ideas.

Here's the simple idea:

Viruses infect new users. Users go up.
Going viral would be things like FOMO or hijacking a popular twitter account with a sign-up bonus link.

A network effect is sometimes used to describe interaction between users. Users go up because users stay or users don't leave. There's a stark difference in an app that everybody uses versus an app that nobody uses, that's basically it.

Math wise: A virus forms a graph that is a tree. Nodes infect nodes infect nodes. Nodes have to be uninfected to be infected. Lots of real life examples.

A network effect is a network of nodes that interact with each other. This is often just like the example they give, where nodes can form multiple connections to each other. If each edge connecting a vertex represented a function adding value to each user, and a viral effect can only sustain an edge to a vertex it previously was not connected to, then yeah by definition one has more connections than the others.

All this article is trying to say, a viral effect can only add value from one user to another.

A network effect can add value from one user to many users and likewise, many users can add value to one user.

Maybe this is true at schools further down the competitiveness hierarchy, but this isn't going to be true at Yale.

> is instituting a policy that admits more of them to Yale

If the policy is to look at race and give/take points, that's racism in the most literal way possible.

If the policy is to look at SES, it's not racist, even though there's a correlation.

At some point correlations become strong enough that it's difficult to disentangle concepts, but I don't think this is an example of that. In particular: would giving points based on SES have screwed Asians in the way that trying to balance races did? Probably not. It's a better formulation of the problem.
