>In 2016, Equality Labs conducted the first survey on caste discrimination in the United States, helmed by Dr. Maari Zwick Maitreyi and myself. Surveying more than 1,500 respondents, we uncovered a problem that was much larger than we expected: One in four Dalits surveyed reported facing physical and verbal assault, one in three faced educational discrimination, and two in three workplace discrimination.

Are you implying that we should not be "freaking out" over racism, as if segregation wasn't in my parent's lifetime?
A computer is a mutation machine, you cannot escape mutation by hand-waving it away. If you are writing programs in which you can achieve concurrency without threads and shared memory, it’s because you’re building on the shoulders of all the engineers who didn’t hand-wave it away. Many of us, due to product requirements, don’t have the luxury of using higher level abstractions like that.
That's not the languages fault, it's the incompetence of the people trying to use it.

This sounds like Stockholm syndrome.

If you respect people who beat you, it should be despite them beating you, not because of it.

Also, it's been shown that people who were abused as children are more likely to go on to abuse their own children.
As a Jew I feel compelled to speak up as say that CyberRabbi does not speak for Jews, and that anti-caste is nothing like Holocaust or cultural genocide, and the insinuation of such is offensive to me.
Great. Now I just need to find some patches to add an easy mode. That game was brutal.
All my standardized testing options (SAT/ACT) were early in the morning because of the myth that this is peak performance time. My personal peak energy is around 1-2pm.

It's hard to get ahead by stealing, because you end up under investing in domestic research capability. China probably has a large enough economy to do both theft and cutting-edge research, but the old USSR would never have pulled ahead.

I think he did have data? There were literally laws that explicitly banned black people from using certain schools and facilities. So - there were a lot areas where he could say that black people are discriminated against with 100% certainty.

I don't know enough about the issue in the article to determine how widespread it is - but I don't think it is fair to compare them.
The answer depends on how much you want to hate your tooling. The fastest stuff uses all proprietary, heavily licensed/restricted tooling.

I like the lattice stuff for experimenting because you can do the whole stack with free software.
How is that? Every new Adobe Creator package used to have a different price(e.g cs3, cs4) Now you can't even upgrade. You pay monthly subscriptions. You pay for OS upgrades as well(i.e win vista, 7, 10 etc)
The approach in the article is novel, but multi-filament splicer/feeders like the one you linked seem much more convenient.
Their comment includes the phrase "I'm not saying it doesn't exist", so I think you're being a bit uncharitable with this retort.
Are people who write Excel macros real programmers? Do Powershell or Bash scripts count? Is PHP a terrible language? These seem like not smart questions that language snobs like to ponder. Real programmers use Haskell I guess. I recently ran across this article about why you shouldn't hire .NET programmers that really rubbed me the wrong way. https://blog.expensify.com/2011/03/25/ceo-friday-why-we-dont... I'm fluent in many languages, like most programmers, and use the right one for the job.
The hardware and software manufacturers are different, no? IBM mainframe owners do get updates for free.
Because it's not science. Spain has been wearing masks for months now, 99% of people comply and it gets only worse and worse. Both of our statements are anecdotes.
That's a very privileged attitude. If your name alone forces your life to be that of a servant, no matter what you want, or do, or how smart you are, or how much potential you might have, maybe your family would not be that bothered giving up what is just some letters on an official document if it meant a way out from a life of systemic oppression.
I understand the misuse you're against here. "To lie" means to knowingly speak or write a falsehood. However, any reader knows he isn't claiming the speaker is a liar. He's claiming the statement is false, whether the author knows it at all. It's imprecise, but still legible.
Look at the car's display in this video: https://youtu.be/RN5Qoei7v1k?t=2281

The pandemic has been fantastic for me. I don’t have to show up for work until morning Zoom standup at 10:30. I’m really not looking forward to having to wake up early when this is all over.

I know what you mean, and this is bordering on willful misunderstanding, but I'll still do this:

The most commonly used solvent is water. Ethanol is also a major one: https://www.worldofmolecules.com/solvents/
I have used quite a few ORMs in JS and in PHP, and Laravel's ORM is really one if the best, if not the best.
We have social class as well.

A plumber might make a lot more money than an associate professor, but it's crystal clear who's in the higher social class.
No it means he/she self aware of the privileges he/she has enjoyed. You don't get to identify as a particular caste, your name gives it away even before anyone has seen you.
Yes, and instead of small metal spheres you make big geodesic spheres that are also kites!

(Cf. Alexander Bell's kites & Bucky Fuller's geodesic mega-structures.)
No reasonable person thinks that every powerful man was impugned by #MeToo, and no reasonable person would think that all powerful Indians are impugned by some kind of caste scandal.
Using gas backup is a transition technology which is the most effective and available thing we have right now, and it won't stay that way. Demanding zero emissions right now is like to maliciously demand perfection in order to kill of something good.
I use it every day and I'm not a fan. Normally I'm language agnostic, whatever your infrastructure supports, I'll adapt to what you use.

The largest problem with PHP is how objects use arrow notation, arrays use arrow notation, strings use dot concatenation, and variables use dollar notation. Then I switch to JS or Java and it's all different.

As far as the stack for FPM and process managers, I think it works well, but I do enjoy the elegance of Node's event-driven environment.
Now that you or your employer have agreed to the terms and conditions of facetime/zoom/teams/webex/skype/etc, we now have an opportunity to identify and detai... market to coronavirus sufferers.

> When PHP was first released it was dramatically better than the alternatives for it's intended purpose.

I think that's going to depend to some degree on how you define that purpose. If it centers around having a low barrier to entry, then that's partly true, but some of the ways it achieved that involved making code written in it vulnerable to variable poisoning and SQL injection by default.

Is PHP on a path to become the COBOL of this century?
Yes the history with buddhism's wax & waning is interesting, I'd like to know more. Especially since it seems both high-class and low-class people were involved. I have the impression many were disappointed in how much conversion to Islam helped their status; it's not about what you claim to believe (like the christian/muslim concept of religion), it seems like what matters is what everyone else knows.

There were indeed lots of kingdoms, a whole continent's worth, but for the most part I didn't think the political units much influenced the rules of these things, aside from sometimes incentivising conversion to islam. I don't think there was anything like the european squabbles over who gets to be pope, or whether your country's church follows him, because there's no idea of centralised doctrinal command like that.
I don't agree with the analogy. Tesla manufacturers the whole package and you buy the car as a package. You don't buy the metal from your local car dealer and the software as a separate thing from Tesla.

A more fitting analogy would be Apple charging you to upgrade your BIOS.
I am a strong supporter of the ownership for things I buy. That said, this is a business decision for Tesla: they can insist that the use only rents the software and see if enough users still buy.

The way out of it is through competition. My 2c
MLK was speaking out against laws that were on the books, and economic conditions that were well studied and documented by the federal government.
Within the context of theorem-proving, that's not as significant a problem -- you still have a verification of the proof at the end. The value of AI is that it could potentially replace human intuition for how to construct the proof. Humans don't always get this right either. It may take the AI many attempts to get the program right, but you'll know at the end that it is correct.
Lol just look at number of people in tech who are black

> I understand why, though some of us think of decaf "coffee", much the same way others view white "chocolate".1

Had a cardiovascular adventure some time ago. Caffeine was involved, and so I don't have. I agree decaf is a poor substitute, as is white, but they are all I can get.
It's not limited to human cultures, many mammals are night-active, not only owls.

Society must stop calling such variations genetic abnormalities/deficiencies.
I fast pretty easily from 6pm to noon the next day. So I would be getting an awesome 18 hour fast daily however I have coffee with milk at 8am. Am I cancelling out those last 4 hours?

I hate black coffee so I’m not sure what I could do.
I think close family relations and friends, you should ask if they want advice. For this type of recommendation, I (personally) would want to know the person so I could guess at what their reaction would be.

This is also more unconventional than typical, no one ever recommended I take ayahuasca, so for me personally it would be novel enough that it wouldn’t be frustrating to get recommended it by an acquaintance. This is my perspective.

I would caution against the mindset in the middle of your paragraph though (“they must want to be healed”). I wanted nothing more to be healed, it’s just after 36 months of being poked and prodded by medical professionals it always struck me as a little haughty that someone else I didn’t know at all would presume to know enough about my situation to think their advice would be useful. But this is just my experience, and I only ever got useful unsolicited advice a couple times.

I just think people need to be emotionally in tune with their conversation partners, and if you don’t know them well enough to read them then you probably don’t need to be giving them advice anyway.
Why does it matter? It's part of the culture of those places now (eg late lunch/dinner in spain).
I am not saying caste discrimination doesn't exist. But as an Indian American living in the United States for 20 years, I can tell you that I have never seen/experienced/practiced it here in the US and I will not let anyone do it either on my team (I run a company) or personal family/friends. Having said that, it is a very common joke among a group of Indians when they get together about the whole "vegetarian" vs "non vegetarian" thing. You can argue that it is bad to joke about this topic but it has nothing to do with caste or religion. That's what I am saying.

The software, in this case, is more of a firmware.

Yes, their views would carry more weight, but I do think mine are a contribution to the discussion too.
This comment sounds exactly like the comments that are sometimes made when discussing sexism in tech by men. "Does sexism even exist in tech? I've never seen anyone be sexist in front of me."

It doesn't prove anything one way or the other, but it is the exact same rhetorical strategy.
Wow, that's like 10 disengagement's in just a couple minutes and it almost drives through a train boom barrier and does some scary stuff with a pedestrian...
Japan and Germany could do what they did because they were under the US protection of those brinkmanship tools.

Furthermore, military tech has a huge impact on everyday life (jet engines, satellites, communications). Even when the tech was not directly invented by the military, it was still at some time a major customer or patron of the tech.
No, it will stay, since a lot of projects are written in it, also new ones. It will stay "forever" like C or C++.
>> I have never paid for updates of the drivers in my PC.

Surely you did. You just didn't pay attention. You paid for a bigger package (i.e new UI)that included driver updates as well.
Avoid saying what? That it has pros and cons? What a shocking revelation you made there!

It's implied in few paragraphs. It's not that hard to infer if you take off your hat. Thou who read Corbet often know a thing having pros and cons is implied in his reasoning.
So how do you turn a whole unsafe industry into a safe one? That's a lot of organizational DNA to change. Might as well convert a dinosaur into a gazelle.
"post-Truth", "virtue signalling", and "accept the narrative unquestioningly" are all (barely) coded flags to say "This thing doesn't exist/isn't true." Following those up with "I'm not saying it doesn't exist" is just a rhetorical feint to seem reasonable.
I recently listened to an interview with Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents which is about America, but she spent years doing research including visiting other countries.

She tells an anecdote about visiting a conference in India on caste and even though the reason everyone was there was to discuss ways to undo the effects of the caste system, she was able to see effects of the system right there in the conference by how various participants interacted with each other. It was so ingrained to the participants that they didn’t realize they were doing it. It was small things like how one person would yield to another during conversation.

Interesting listen.

I loved TortoiseSVN.

This reminds me of when I spent a whole evening trying to figure out why TortoiseSVN wouldn't work on my machine. I installed it but it's as if it was not there. Turns out I downloaded the 32 bit version which didn't work on 64 bit Explorer, as they are DLLs that directly attach to the process and need to be the same... bitness?
network network network.

Focus on your network and asking people if they know anyone who is hiring. Don't put people on the spot and ask if they are hiring, but ask if they know anyone.

When I last job hunted, I created three resumes--software engineer, devrel, devops engineer. The same jobs were on each resume, but different duties and accomplishments were highlighted.

I would also pick up some contract work if you can--the barrier is a lot lower and can often lead to a FTE conversation. If you are in the USA, use the ACA health exchange for health ins (not sure about other countries).
I think it's the financial sector, not ad-tech that's wasting the abilities of many bright people, at least in the USA.
The only outcome of this is that non-Indians will now start seeing spooks where there are none. There are already a couple in this thread:

But what can you do.
Whoever you are that feels responsible, please add a note to the repo which hugo version you've used (or are currently using for the official build) or this might bite you a few years (months?) down the line, it has happened for most people I know who have used hugo.

We like it, but there breaking changes from time to time - especially if you only have a small team building the site, I was using a 4y old version until I did an upgrade in one go.
From my experience, any business beyond a certain size ends up requiring scraping to get access to some data that is not published cleanly or available programmatically. It is also one of the common gateways to programming - and hence gets written more about I guess?
If you get the necessary vitamins and water I believe, depending on the person of course, you can survive for many months without food.

I've done 48 hour fasts. The major thing that keeps me from doing it longer is that it's really hard to do while also socializing.

> always late providing bindings to Microsoft SDKs

I remember Delphi adding many Windows features before Visual Studio. Windows Vista Aero support, Support for building native apps for the Microsoft Store, etc.

Delphi never shipped with bindings for 100% of the APIs, but the beauty of Delphi was I could create my own bindings with only a little code from Delphi, so it wasn't a roadblock. That is the huge difference between Delphi and non-native development tools: You aren't held back by lack of libraries or API bindings.
So, these things are not viable in a market economy? Why should they be pursued then?
The word "classy" has more than one definition...
> large parts of population in South Indian states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala no longer have surnames that are tied to the caste.
I agree with that general conclusion. I have roots in Kerala and my family purposefully didn't add the caste part in my name. My father has it but not anyone in my family in my generation. That being said, don't forget that the Tamil Brahmin(Tambram) superiority shit is still present at large everywhere.
Functional programming appeals to many of us for reasons other than these practical considerations: Functional programming feels like reasoning in algebra. As in Modern Algebra for math majors (groups, rings, fields) and beyond.

There's a saying in mathematics that when any field matures it turns into algebra. Life crossed a threshold from chemistry to biology on Earth, and developed exponentially from there. Order in mathematics crosses a similar threshold, as it becomes sufficiently structured to support algebraic reasoning. The subjective experience is like ice melting into a churning liquid, or a land-locked creature learning to fly. Once one has this experience, one cannot imagine thinking any other way. In the case of functional programming, programs written in other languages feel like ad hoc pre-civilization constructions, doing arithmetic by counting pebbles.

Advocates of Haskell don't tend to express this, because from the outside it can come off like trolling, but this algebraic sense of wonder is at the core of many Haskeller's experiences. We all have the example of Lisp in our minds, its "we found God" advocacy did much to hinder its adoption. Nevertheless, understanding this explains much about Haskell. The real point of lazy evaluation is that it best supports this algebraic reasoning, as carbon best supports life. The 47,000 compiler options reflect a primary goal of being a research bed for language constructs derived from mathematical category theory, despite its success as a practical language for those free to choose it.

The killer app for Haskell is parallelism. To this day it has the best implementation of parallelism; one can achieve a 7x speedup on 8 cores by adding a handful of lines to a program. This ease is a consequence of the functional model, and of considerable effort by Haskell's developers.

Idris 2 is itself a joy to learn, if one wants a smaller, cleaner Haskell without the 47,000 compiler options. One gets to learn dependent types. Alas, it doesn't offer commercial-grade parallelism.

How do the results for for the different times compare? Is 12 hours seeing a significant effect? What about 16?

Disclaimer. I looked at their charts but I didn’t completely understand.
It is extremely isolated even in India itself. I have interviewed with about a hundred people so far. No one asked me my caste, and I never asked anyone theirs. Some north Indian names give away the caste from the last name. That's less likely to happen in southern India, where most of us don't even have a family name.
4D Imaging through Spray-On Optics (2017) [pdf]
By now it should be obvious—and this is purely descriptive of what I see playing out, not prescriptive—that self-driving tech will have to clear a higher bar than just statistically better in order to become mainstream.

Not only because anecdotes carry more weight than statistics in the media—as this story illustrates—but because people are much less afraid of bad things happening, as long as they're in control when it happens.

Also, I suspect everything associated with fuel-burning cars is by now irrevocably linked with cultural ideals of individualism and freedom. Resistance to EVs and self-driving tech will continually materialize, as if out of thin air, regardless of how well documented the benefits are. It's going to be an uphill battle for the foreseeable future.
But nuclear plants are not insured against major accidents. Nobody insures that, for some reason.
Inspiration is the thing that gets you to the thing.

You’re blog post was 1000% better than the landing page, because it was real. Stick to that voice. Replace the stock images and marketing-speak with halt-and-catch-fire design/quotes, code snippets and sample output.

Don’t try to get customers. Get early adopters who share the vision and want to come along for the ride as you experiment and push the envelope. If you’re vision is clear and speaks to a real pain (getting structured data from the web is a pita) there will be early adopters willing to pay. Those same people are your best market and will make great future employees.
Los Angeles-class are fast attack boats, they are much smaller than boomers, which is what the Typhoon class is (they carry nuclear warheads). But Typhoon class is even larger than the American boomers (Ohio class - and the soon to be Columbia class).
