Ha! Sorry, my political views are non-binary so I see how you're confused. Allow me to clarify: the regulations in the health care industry are structured poorly and have strong disincentives to even the simplest and most obvious improvements (e.g. updating software to receive security updates). They should not be removed, but they need to be rethought so people in the industry aren't afraid to make changes.
I get that. I'm like that too. If I see a problem, I want desperately to try and help fix it.

This has absolutely taught me that sometimes the best answer is "Wow, that really sucks. If you want to talk about it, let me know" and move on to some other subject.
The Supreme Court rulings didn't say whether race quota systems are racist since that's not a concept known to the law - they merely judged legality. The set of racist things includes both legal things and illegal ones (e.g. in the US calling someone a racial slur is usually racist but not itself illegal); so does the set of non-racist things (e.g. explicitly refusing to hire people over age 40 is usually illegal but not itself racist).

Anyway, it's not as if most of the tech industry cares about strict adherence to the law in other areas, such as Uber running roughshod over many jurisdictions' pre-existing transport-for-hire legislation, Airbnb doing the same for short-term rental/hotel legislation, and the whole "gig economy" bringing their gig workers close enough to the definition of misclassified employee that many rulings say they're past the line.

If this one case of powerful tech companies ignoring the law is working in favor of hiring more suitably qualified members of minority demographics than they otherwise would, then I'm happy they're doing it as long as they're generally willing to violate laws for worse purposes.
If your diet plan allows beer it’s probably not very effective.

Doctors aren’t going to be very helpful here - 95% are incompetent. You should probably try to come up with a good and efficiently computable a priori dietary strategy (e.g. evolutionary ancestral diet, with the goal of minimizing the chance of running into defective metabolic pathways). I can’t think of any such strategies I’m aware of that would allow beer.
If everyone owed a percentage of the same total, they wouldn't have to go up.
My main reasons:

1. It's standardized all the implementation for each language is roughly similar and has the same feature sets (middlewares, stubs, retry, hedging, timeouts, deadlines, etc).

2. High performance framework/webserver in "every" language. No more "should I use flask or the built in http server or gunicorn or waitress or..."

3. Tooling can be built around schemas as code. There's a great talk that I highly recommend about some of the magic you can do [0].

4. Protos are great for serialization and not just over a network! Need to store configs or data in a range of formats (json, prototxt, binary, yaml)?

5. Streaming. It's truely amazing and can dramatically reduce latency if you need to do a lot of collection-of-things or as-soon-as-x processing.

6. Lower resource usage. Encoding/decoding protos is faster then encoding and decoding json. At high throughput that begins to matter.

7. Linting & standards can be defined and enforced programatically [1]

8. Pressures people to document things. You comment your .c or .java code, why not comment your .proto?

This comment is wrong on a fundamental basis.

Richer areas get less state funding than poorer school districts. These districts have to scramble to just narrow the gap rather than have more funding.

The richer areas have higher scoring schools because wealth correlates with school scores probably due to a combination of natural ability and a more conducive parental and community environment (all multiplicative and compounding over time]. A change in taxes does not affect this one iota.

There are already flat rates paid per parcel in many cities.

There are age over 55 exemptions for certain parcel taxes to raise money for schools.

An income tax per parcel does not scale. How do you tax rentals? Who pays the tax for rentals? What if you want to own multiple homes? What if you are buying a house for your parents to live in?
> One of the reasons that the electricity that Hinkley will one day produce is so expensive (£92.50 per megawatt hour, compared with gas and wind at about £40) is that the constructors were required to shoulder the risk of any cost overruns themselves. EDF estimates that the cost of electricity produced at Sizewell will be somewhere between £40 and £60.

So even the company with a financial incentive to under-estimate the cost is saying that the electricity it produces will be at best as expensive as wind energy already is.

Of course nuclear power plants can still generate electricity on a windless day, but if they're only used on such days, then the cost per Joule is even worse.

Perhaps the (estimated) £20 billion could be spent on energy storage projects like Vehicle-to-Grid distribution or hydrogen generation, which should be even more competitive 10 years from now when this power plant is supposed to start operating.
Teenagers are heavily influenced by their peers. If there is legitimate data that shows that girls in peer groups are all deciding to transition together or even mostly deciding to regardless of the size of the group then I would think that would be an important topic to explore. The desire to transition was very rare as far as I understand.

I feel that teenagers and young adults like to explore subjects that are known taboos. It seems reasonable to me that for every good there is a bad so we have to decide as a society to what degree making transitioning mainstream should outweigh the number of individuals who are harmfully transitioning.
A few years ago, my partner ran out of critical insulin pump supplies and I appealed to the internet for help. Eventually, Scott drove quite a way to our apartment to give her (a complete stranger) what she needed (and more!)

He's a stand-up grade A really nice guy, and I genuinely wish him the best. I wish that I had more expertise to help with this issue, as the only thing that comes to mind is I've had good results using kratom in a severe pain situation, but that's anecdotal and not quite analogous to his condition.

Wishing you the best, Mr. Hanselman!
Microsoft is really starting to shine in GitHub. What a shame.
> I know I'm coming off rude here

On the contrary, this is excellent advice! I know I feel a tendency to want to share my knowledge with friends and family because I think it may help. I should know better, because I do not like being given advice, and yet I have a lot of trouble avoiding giving it myself. When I try, I am accused of being aloof or uninterested. A hard line to walk, keeping my mouth shut is enough work all by itself ;-)
Making things accessible has positive unintended consequences. Building curb ramps doesn’t just help people in wheelchairs, it also helps parents with strollers and tourists with luggage. Adding subtitles to videos helps both deaf people and language learners. Making websites usable with a screen reader also makes it easier to build automated tests. Disabilities are also not always permanent or complete; people with low vision can also benefit from screen readers even if not legally blind, for example.

Specifically for technology, you also need to understand the true life changing difference it can make on a disabled person’s life. My dad is blind, and thanks to screen readers on his computer and phone, he can read books, make Zoom calls for work, correspond with people via email and WhatsApp, and so much more. He’s in his 60s too, and technology has allowed him be an independent and productive member of society.
Why? This article even explains why? It isn't an either or situation. You need a well diversified portfolio of zero (operating) emission technologies. Nuclear is one of those, along with wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal.
Mussolini, the Fascist par excellence, gained power through democratic means and democratic elections (plus intimidation, violence, and marches, of course) - the democratically-elected legislature granted him emergency powers in November 1922, he got the legislature to change the rules for the election to grant a supermajority of seats to the plurality winner in June 1923, and he won not only that plurality but in fact 64% of votes in the elections of April 1924. Only at that point were the more obvious signs of a fake democracy implemented (such as making opposition parties illegal and having someone assassinate the leader of the opposition after he complained about election irregularities), and even so, they retained non-free elections instead of getting rid of them entirely.

So I think it's entirely reasonable for "anti-Fascists" to not be placated merely by the fact that an election took place within a nominally-democratic structure, and in particular entirely reasonable for them to be skeptical of a nominally-democratic election where you can gain power through means other than winning the popular vote and where there are irregularities in counting votes.
You think it'd be better if Riot just didn't say anything about it?

> If this was a meritocracy, you would expect a proportionate number of every ethnicity and religion represented in the workforce of large corporations. But we don't see that, because the network is old, and it is extremely white. Pile that on top of glaring inequalities across the board, and here we are.

In tech, there's the pipeline issue too. You can't really double the percentage of senior engineers of a certain group overnight. You'd have to magically go back to the 90's and try to get more diverse folks to apply! Same way the class of 2021 they are hiring from now can't really suddenly change.
gRPC is a great way to implement a RESTful API [0]. Instead of saying `POST /thing` or `POST /things` or actually `PUT /thing` and maybe `POST /thing/1` you can say:

service ThingService {
rpc CreateThing(CreateThingRequest) returns (Thing);
rpc DeleteThing(DeleteThingRequest) returns (ThingDeleted); // No arguing about if this is within the HTTP spec and supported as it just works :)
rpc UpdateThing(...) returns (Thing);
rpc ListThings(...) returns (stream Thing);
}

I think you can pretty much look at the highest tax being paid on a particular street and assume that everyone else would pay the same. Most of the time, all the houses on a street in California are roughly similar in value, because they were all built around the same time by the same developer and are very similar, barring extreme examples like Atherton or Beverly Hills where everyone has a custom home.
Completely agree.

> He began working at McDonald's, earning $4.15 an hour working nearly 40 hours a week, mostly on the weekends. He was quickly promoted to shift manager at the age of 16,

> He enrolled in certification classes sponsored by CompTIA to get his A+ certification, which led to a job as a DSL installation technician for Bell South at the age of 19.

So he worked at McDonalds for 3 years in high school, what does that have to do with anything.
I maintain that "we apologize" and "we are sorry" are identical in meaning, except to those straining to be ungenerous, always demanding "just a bit more" prostration than was offered.

Your compact "good apology" wording is fine, too!

But if they'd used that, exactly, plenty of people would still be hair-splitting & demanding more – maybe even you, since even your wording doesn't do most of the things your first post above wanted!

It also fails to 'acknowledge' the specific "list of things" you wanted to see. It also offers nothing more "in amends" than they already offered. It also suggests no "consequences" for those who erred. Your added cheap-but-emotionally-performative intensifier words – "we deeply regret the pain and anguish" – are also viewed as "meaningless hollow BS" by many.

See how easy it is to nitpick tone?

The social function of apologies also requires gracious acceptance of actual admissions of error.
Yeah, the "not all" is what I was referring to. I should be able to do it for everything, not cherry-picked actions.

My guess though, is that they've already got this working, they're just going to wait until iOS 15 to drop it. The integration of Shortcuts into iOS has been slow but steady ever since they were acquired, and I think eventually it will do everything we want.
Oh to be clear it's not that that bothers me, it's the fact that it's closed source. That's just personal preference though.

I'd be fine with a "source available" paying solution for instance, as long as the terms of the license are reasonable. This way at least I know that if the project goes defunct I'm not stuck with apps that I can't easily run anywhere anymore. See all these Flash games that nobody can easily play anymore.

An example of software that works that way is SQLite: they sell extensions as source code with a perpetual (non-open-source) license.
Your post is conceptually correct, but unhelpful.

The problem isn't our election system.

The problems are:

- the Democratic Party keeps nominating very flawed candidates that shouldn't be elected. People like Obama and Biden accomplished nothing in their careers, yet are nominated to run for President of the most powerful country on earth. (The problems we're having with the CCP now are related to Obama's weakness in patrolling the South China Sea.)

- the Marxist rioters have no purpose in life, so could keep rioting regardless of who's elected. I doubt if antifa members and supporters even know what the word "fascist" means.

- the alternative the left is looking for is to replace the US constitution, which is the envy of the world and has worked for 2 centuries, with Marxism, with a century of failure.

- Republicans and the right, who have a moral center, are not rioting or cancelling people, it's the left, whose god is political correctness (a Maoist phrase.)

- the current college generation are fragile snowflakes who shatter when stressed, which is the fault of parents and society, but still a problem that feeds the riots.
You resemble superheroes on the "The Boys".
I know you think that's true but we have houses on my street varying by ~2x in value and I'm not in Atherton, Palo Alto, or Woodside. It's not extremes like 10x or 5x but these kinds of maps don't really give you great detail. I think the comparison is still needed because there are streets where nearly everyone bought a long time ago.
It seems it would be difficult to do that without combining both protocols into one server. (This is not quite what xwayland, xweston, xwlnest do. They run the server X out of process and can't manage wayland windows because they don't know anything about the internal wayland state)

To that point, you would have to decide if it's more worth it to fork xwayland and merge with an existing wayland compositor, or to fork xfree86 and add wayland.
Ultimately a lot of the trivia doesn't really matter for your success or failure.

High level thinking combined with effort and luck are what helps you "make it" in my eyes.

If your tech startup should succeeds or fails in spite of the particular corporate credit you choose.

In California, cities are totally independent of school districts (except in that San Francisco is a combined county and city and its city counsil and mayor are also its county board of supervisors, and county boards and the state school board both supervise school districts).

School district funding in most districts is property taxes supplimented with state funds to a specific level per student. There are a small number of school districts that have property tax revenues above that, but most don't. IIRC, in the sf bay area, Santa Clara, one of the Palo Alto districts, and maybe one or two others are not getting state funds, but I think Cupertino is on the state funding schedule, and is well regarded.

Only the hardest hit counties like Fresno saw property tax decrease in the 2008 time frame. Although market values dropped, many properties were still below their capped assesment, and so their taxes would increase either by the yearly cap or because they were sold and triggered a fresh assessment. I don't know about other counties, but Santa Clara's assessor did assess down automatically; but the tax rolls still increased. So in that way, it's a lot more dependable than an income tax.
That is a lovely story. He does come across as a genuinely good guy.

Not saying that what you're talking about never happens, but I think the article was focused on the fact that different people have different cultural backgrounds and were granted different opportunities, and in order to hire the best candidates you should take that into consideration.

I've not seen his stuff personally, but based on what people are saying he seems like a really talented guy whose talent was overlooked when he was younger - and his race/background played a part in this.
While I like Jimmy Maher's writing, I would say that he's rather biased in the way he describes those games and it's a matter of opinion.

And there are a lot of great games from Sierra: Conquest of the longbow, the ecoquest serie (aimed at a younger public), Quest of Glory, Leisure Suit Larry (but then I played that as a teenager) and yes I'd say King's Quest 6 & 4.
I'm on a different machine now, but I'll have to go back and verify what I did -- it sounds like I may have set it up incorrectly.

My /boot is a LUKS1 volume, and I thought that my GRUB boot passphrase for this volume was in the first slot, and that I was using the same iteration count as the root volume.

My / is a LUKS2 volume with a different passphrase that I need to enter after the initrd has been loaded. Decrypting the root volume is fast, so I suspect I set this one up correctly. Once the root volume is decrypted, I have a separate key on the filesystem to re-decrypt /boot so that it can be mounted without re-entering the /boot passphrase. This part is also fast.

Something must have gone wonky with the boot passphrase. Either a crazy iteration count or a key slot that forces GRUB to not test it first.
You got me. The author of NumPy, Travis Oliphant, is still with the organization, as is Fernando Pérez. Mostly, it consists of other people, though.
1. The frequency evolution of the measures waveform depends on the mass of the objects. Once you know the mass you can use the amplitude to infer the distance.

2. Galaxies do contain supermassive black holes at their centers. However the frequency response of ground based detectors preclude observation. When space based detectors are operating we will see those collisions.

I had pretty extensive shoulder repair surgery a year and a half ago. I was amazed at how much recovery hurt, and I can't take opioids (too many physical and mental side effects).

I ended up smoking a ton of weed. It really helped so much.

The funny part was going from an occasional recreational smoker to using it medicinally. At first I was like, it's 7 in the morning, I don't want to get stoned, this sucks. But it worked at managing pain. I was not in pain and I could rest; I could rest so I could heal.

End result was anger and frustration at our stupid drug laws, mostly. But also, my shoulder works again, and I know how to manage pain, if anything happens again.
It seems like there are two limits: PCIe bus up to about 3.2 Gbps, and total network bandwidth about 3 Gbps. So the total net bandwidth limits the 4x card, and also limits any combination of card interfaces and the built in interface (I tested many combos).

Overclocking can get the total net throughput to 3.4 Gbps.
That's not so much an argument against approval voting as it is an argument for carefully and clearly wording the ballot. That's true of any voting system.

I can construct situations where this can happen. In fact, perhaps an easy analogy will help. Let's say you're at a T-junction at a stop sign. Traffic perpendicular to you is freely flowing. You drive out into traffic and stop. Someone in the uncontrolled perpendicular direction hits you. Who is at fault?

They literally just ran into your stationary car. Clearly you can't be at fault. Or can you?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, being psychosomatic doesn't mean it's not "real", it just means that there's an extra step in the causality. Like psychosomatic itching - you are genuinely feeling the irritation, it's not imaginary, but you can retrain yourself not to indulge to fix it. The same thing is true with other psychosomatic illness.

Many people act like psychosomatic illness is in the same category as malingering, delusion, or antisocial behavior. It's not. It's a real thing that you're really experiencing, not some kind of moral failing, it just happens to have a root in neurology and psychology instead of a different causative origin. Is a headache any less real or painful just because it's caused by stress instead of a hangover? I would say no, if anything, the opposite.

Same goes for psychosomatic nausea, high blood pressure, eczema, psoriasis, pain, dizziness, any of at least a dozen things. They're real things you're experiencing, that might have more to do with mental health than physical health, depending on the exact situation. But they're still all real - nobody with high blood pressure from somatic issues is imagining their numbers higher.

So, trust yourself. What you're feeling is genuine, regardless of the source - the fact that that source might be on one or the other side of the extremely fuzzy line of "mind versus body" is no reason to question your own experience.

The issue is that peak power consumption occurs after sundown in most countries. Nuclear power also costs the same to generate power 24/7 as it does to generate power intermittently. So if you build enough nuclear power to fill in the gap in the duck curve, then you could just run those plants all day and ditch renewables. This is why people invested in renewables are often very adverse to nuclear power.
