I see your confusion, but I never actually agreed that the way people approached it in the past was ridiculous. Nearly every single human custom is arbitrary and subjective, but there's no reason to abandon all preferences simply because we understand that.

"Modesty" in my country means that behaviors and body parts that are considered sexual are not displayed prominently or advertised; it doesn't matter that a nipple may not be inherently sexual, because everyone here feels that it is, and thus not displaying (and by extension, not saturating TV, movies, and advertisements with images of sexualized breasts) would be considered modest.

I certainly wouldn't mind if the nipple was eventually de-sexualized, but seeing as that's likely not possible given the internet, and since it will likely remain sexualized at least in the western world, I'd prefer if people were modest about it.
Are India's high court precedents not binding? It's certainly how law works in the United States that when the high court rules that a law violates the constitution, that law is struck.

> I can't find a setting to change screen resolution available on my device, or even if it's possible. It looks great though just the way it is out of the box, I don't know the difference either.

This was Samsung I think who launched a phone, bragged about it's resolution, then shipped it with that resolution disabled so they users would get better battery life out the door. Terribly user-unfriendly and a horrible example since users who buy a high end smartphone would expect the phone ship with it's advertised resolution enabled.

> Apple dealt them this card - you're blaming people for not knowing that a single vendor has introduced a new (image) format by default which really...

IMO if you are passing out blame, look squarely at the developers of the web app who failed to create a standards compliant site. If your service is only capable of receiving specific mime types, you specify it on the input element. `accept="image/png, image/jpeg"` If you fail to do so, you will get arbitrary, random file types. If this were a desktop computer, a student might have sent photoshop images or TIFFs. If they'd specified what file formats their web app accepted, the iPhone would have sent JPGs.
There are many people that have completely reversed T2D with fasting and a combination of healthy keto/paleo, metformine or berberine and in some cases, 5DFMD (5 day fast minicing diet) done every month for a year. There are numerous doctors and nutritionists that have youtube videos covering the science behind reversing the insulin resistance, then clearing the fat out of the pancreas and liver, then restoring pancreas functionality. The biggest challenge for people is sticking to those plans. 5DFMD is not easy and some people are not in a condition to do it.
I'll be honest I cannot tell if this is satire or not, I would even say that it isn't.

There are some "good" nuggets in there, and by good I mean that while they may be unpleasant, they may still be true. The part about "Theatrics" makes a lot of sense to me.

It's really only the "Talent" part that I refuse to admit is genuine. This whole typing speed thing, I really hope nobody thinks like that.
> Android mobile gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry. Guess what isn't? Linux desktop gaming.

The name for this is platform politics (and I find it disgusting as a Linux user). Stadia came out having way less users than desktop Linux and game companies run to release for it, while continuing to ignore desktop Linux users. It's not about the size of the market like some like to excuse it with. It's about expected to be paid by "platform owner" or something of the sort.

Linux has no owner, so these companies are at loss from whom to demand extra money, even if they can make profit from actually selling games to Linux gamers. They don't grok open platforms. Better companies which aren't into platform politics release games for Linux fine.

So part of the blame is on those who are hung on platform politics. But it doesn't excuse anti-competitive behavior of MS in the least.
> "look how clever I am" essays.

Yes. If you had general overload on return type, you could write big nested expressions and force the compiler to examine all the overload possibilities. With enough effort, you could write optimizers for functional programming that way, ones that figured out when you can create a pipeline and avoid storing an intermediate result. Plus combinatoric explosion in compile times. And then you would need more advanced algorithms to find a path through the type maze efficiently. What fun! Good for at least three PhD theses.

Don't go there. Someone will have to maintain that code.
Or people should stop thinking private social medias have any duty in respecting "free speech". Make your own platform if you are unhappy.

Plus it's worked in many country: less hate speech, less hate. Everyone saying "people are going to get more angry" are just wrong.

Let's say you have your password db (keepass, 1password, etc) on your computer. You have Authy setup for 2FA on your phone. You're taking a shower and all of a sudden you hear screams. Your home will be completely engulfed in flames within minutes. You leave your cell phone and run out of the house just having time to put on clothes.

You've lost everything, can you recover? if so what steps enabled you to do so?

I'd imagine for a lot of folks. This could be catastrophic.
"Even Fischer expressed dismay at the media’s coverage of his work. “Our intent was not to say this mask doesn’t work, or never use neck gaiters,” he told the New York Times. “This was not the main part of the paper.”

I've been studying this since March, and the main issue is that lockdowns, in a capitalist economy, don't work nearly as well as one might expect. That's why, as the article notes, Brazil and Peru had lockdowns but still got ravaged by the virus... and the US and UK did poorly as well. The problem isn't "lockdowns bad". It's poverty.

Sweden is a bit of an outlier. They're a socialist country (by 2020 standards) that screwed up for non-economic reasons. They just got it wrong.

What most people who are middle-class or higher don't understand is hustle. People fetishize that word in Silicon Valley, but hustle is the principle of needing money to live and doing whatever it takes to get it. It isn't pretty, but it's how the other half lives. These people don't have savings because their wages are too low, so when they have an unexpected expense, it fucks them up. Hustle is: Pawning possessions. Odd jobs. Short cons. Gig labor. Petty crime. Panhandling. Whatever it takes, in truth. These people aren't morally worse than us middle-class salarymen and -women. They just have shittier options.

Hustle is a force that governments can't really control (unless they go hard core, like China) because these people are usually quite good at evading authorities. Hustle keeps afloat the people the system has failed. It keeps them from dying. It also, in a pandemic, spreads disease. It's why compliance has been so atrocious in the US and UK and Peru.

Do you need to "lock down" sufficient to get R below 1? Unless you want a humanitarian catastrophe, the answer is yes. Unfortunately, if your economic system runs on the "don't work, don't eat" model, you are going to see so much hustle (noncompliance, to use a more distant bourgeois word) that even your most ardent efforts are likely to have only moderate results. That doesn't mean they aren't working, and it doesn't mean you don't need them. It's still better to have R at 1.1 than at 2.5. But the fact is that an economic system like US-style extreme capitalism isn't built to handle anything out-of-context like a pandemic.
As of earlier this year, that should be mitigated with the addition of IORING_OP_EPOLL_CTL, which lets you do the equivalent of epoll_ctl() from io_uring. So you can put many EPOLL_CTL_ADD commands in the ring without incurring syscall overhead for each one.

Those three things are so huge when it comes to making connections like the ones we are talking about.

Related to that, having the courage/gumption to notice that someone may be holding a door open for you and walking through!

The chart showing worker's preferences seems awkward to me. At first it looks like "wow, people in the US really like working from home 4+ days a week." And then you wonder did they separate out "never" and "rarely"? The cynic in me wonders if lumping them together would have undermined the thesis of the article too much as it would have been a large plurality of all answers.

Or to put it another way, 60%+ of US people want to work remote 2 days or less per week.

That response lines up with my personal experience. While I like working from home occasionally, I don't want to work somewhere where I don't have a desk available 5 days a week.
This rings true. As soon as it was politicized neither side will budge an inch. And scientific progress requires people being able to admit they were wrong in the face of new evidence. Egos should not be wrapped up in how many feet at which social distancing is effective and how effective masks are and when lockdowns should be enforced or let up. Its really unfortunate and, in my opinion, goes to show the two party system is bad for democracy, science, progress, etc. We need more polictical parties and ranked choice voting, and less blind following of one's parties ideals/agenda/candidates.

> Yeah, DAWs are pretty close, but I was thinking of distribution itself. Basically a PDF, but for music. You don't necessarily need to ship all the original bits to generate the optimised postscript - just the postscript which will display the same thing everywhere.

I think this could be done, probably easier than doing the same for video production. An audio signal is as simple as just a list of values...

Basically, we would just have every "channel"/"track" from a digital audio workstation rendered into a file. For very similar tracks only the differences need to be stored. Then we would also need one "master" channel which stores mastering information.

Now such a format would pose a couple of challenges. First of all, size. Lossless audio in flac takes quite a bit of space already, an entire album is usually around 100mb. This would use even more space.
The next problem is that there would have to be a "standard" across digital audio workstations... how would tracks be classified? For example, the software Ableton Live allows one to group tracks and also group groups themselves. Effects can be added to groups but this people also use this feature just for organisational reasons. Other software might do this differently...
Then the next thing which is probably the biggest challenge... the "player" would need to add the individual signals back together during playback and doing this in real time can cost performance.

All in all, I have been dreaming for years about managing songs and audio projects with something like git. It would open up a whole new world for collaboration and I think theoretically it would be possible.

Smaller memory footprints can make code faster, but making code faster often creates a bigger memory footprint.

For instance, pipelining an operation to allow multiple CPUs to work on a problem at once can reduce the pressure on the tall tent pole, be it IO bottlenecks or one phase. Time is still dictated by the tallest tent poles, but not also by the fourth through tenth tallest poles.

But now everything is happening at once, which means all of the temporary data structures exist in memory in parallel, instead of sequentially.

Heavily paraphrasing someone else: The simple things get taken care of early. If we're standing around talking about problems in a successful tool, they're complicated. Although I disagree with that person on one point: we can also be talking about problems that were complicated to diagnose (but straightforward to fix).
Including me.

What did you think I was saying? Clearly I need to communicate better.
It’s not that companies are amoral in a negative sense, but that you shouldn’t anthropomorphize them. All companies are there to make a profit, some might have a business model that is in line with your personal moral benchmarks, but just that it’s a business model.

Both public and private companies can have business models that are driven by the morality of their founders and key employees but it’s still a business model.

Cygnus wasn’t more moral than say Oracle, they just had developed a business model around FOSS services that was unique, since they didn’t held any IP they didn’t had the tools that some people may consider immoral such as protecting their patents through law suits or worse rent seeking based on IP they hold.

Same goes for other companies today that primarily rely on FOSS software I don’t consider Ubuntu, Red Hat (even before the acquisition) or even Purism to be “moral” companies just because they can’t or don’t hammer someone with law suits or rake in royalties.

I also don’t consider opposition to companies that do to be a simple moral issue. I can and do have my own opinions about companies that I feel practice more rent seeking than actual innovation or any sort of productive activity but I don’t see it to be a particularly moral stance to want them to go into financial trouble because in the end the losers will be their employees and shareholders.

I much rather see companies like Oracle for example be successful based on true productivity than go into financial trouble.

Except it was. We've seen this consistently in leadership, including just recently WeWork, Uber and the U.S. government. When a nasty person is at top, it legitimizes nasty people everywhere else.

> We all know multiple people who have reported horrible things about Amazon too,

Yes. And most everything else that isn't evidence of intent to commit a crime (which should probably still be allowed so police can investigate).

It singles out an individual to the group as being full or hate and bile, censoring would not disappear the person, it would only force them to be more convincing and manipulative.

It would trigger a backlash in which would be a convincing and Thorough retort of the viewpoint, giving good immunity to lurkers in their lives after that should they come across this viewpoint again.

It would ensure that a constant evaluation of what is true within society. Without this we really don't know what is true.

open discourse has its problems, but its literally our only vehicle from bad ideas to good ideas.
I empathize with this. There's not an easy answer.

First of all, to clarify, if the employee is using any racist speech at work at all, there's no question that s/he's creating a hostile workplace and that warrants termination. I'm very wary of allowing any private speech to constitute a hostile workplace due to the slippery slope and ease of abuse, but I certainly empathize with the impulse.

If the "Klan rally" is burning crosses or otherwise threatening or harassing people, then the law should handle this. Basically we should have stronger protections against mobs--make it easier for the law to prosecute participants. This also would have lots of additional social benefits (including protecting victims of BLM riots).

If the hypothetical Klan rally is truly peaceful (however abhorrent their ideals), then all they can really do is result to the same cancel culture tactics we're debating--if we can render those tactics impotent, then the Klan rally is impotent. Moreover, it becomes an opportunity to hold a counter-rally where we talk about why Klan ideas are abhorrent (because ideas about racial superiority/guilt are abhorrent, etc).

Note that while this isn't as satisfying as firing someone over their private speech, it provides much more protection against abuse, and it's more holistic--it not only covers your hypothetical black employer / racist employee scenario, but the much more common scenario involving racist employees offending their coworkers.
> This feels good if you’ve already made it or you grew up with the right connections, but it’s far from ideal you’re a promising developer who doesn’t yet have the right credentials on your resume to unlock the job.

I've never understood why these two different groups, long experienced developers and unproven newcomers, are competing for the same jobs. That's the insanity of the system.

I suspect the answer is that many people believe (mistakenly IMO) that experience doesn't really matter, and "raw talent" overrides everything else.

Is there any particular reason to think such a thing couldn't happen in America, where rifles and explosives aren't hard to get?

Mainly because gurs in general aren't hard to get in America. Any would-be shooter has to fear not only cops, but armed civilians. And if they are spanning an entire city and the police aren't able to keep up, you'd definitely get recreational hunters with their rifles trying to take them down.

What China managed to learn in Wuhan within a matter of weeks was that even a tight lockdown wasn't enough. R was still hovering around 1. Most of the transmission was happening inside homes. The solution was to to implement a central quarantine. If you tested positive, you were not sent home, you were sent to a quarantine facility to get better. This reduced R to about 0.3, and they were able to eradicate the virus in Wuhan.

There have been fits and starts for this using empty hotel rooms, but nothing universal. In San Francisco, they offer hotel rooms to the homeless under the idea that they are more likely to catch the virus on the street, but they offer nothing to people who are actually confirmed to be infected. Those people go home and spread it to their family/roommates.
It depends on the company. Startups and teams with autonomy are more informal.

The main things they care about are:
1. Can you do the job (and do it well)?
2. Are you really interested?
3. Are you batshit crazy, or can you work with the tiny/close team?

Large companies put you through the grinder. My most unpleasant interview experiences were with some very big names (but not all are like this).

I’m not a good fit for small companies, I don’t have the desire to study for FAANGs anymore (a week of studying isn’t enough), and I’ve personally had great luck with medium sized ones.
