I can't stand the (lack) of brightness on my X1 7th gen. Is that not a problem for you?

I can't for the life of me get it to be bright enough to use in a lit room. A bit of hyperbole here, but I basically have to hide in a closet and stuff a towel under the door to see the fucking screen. I love the keyboard, but I basically won't use the thing now because it's such a drag to use.
At humongous reputational risk, may I ask “so how did the Asians do it”?

I acknowledge all of the well-articulated points you made about Black culture and challenges.

But FOB and first-gen Asians had to work with racism (with obvious visual cues), and little/no social capital, and a radical break with native culture, and a non-Indo-European native language to boot.

Was the very strong attitude against drugs and tiger moms the cause? Would an opium war and water buffalo moms help? Did the homeland of Asia itself provide support that Africa either was too long ago or too poor/screwed up to provide. (Before you bring up colonialism, remember the Asian experience.)

I have no dog in this fight, just curious...
Big companies are little command economies with many of the problems at a smaller scale.

Having run a $100M vertical in a very large organization, it’s pretty easy to see how problems develop. There’s always a trade off between “efficiency”, standards and local/global control.

With central control, a guy in California buys the vehicle fleet, and doesn’t understand why people in Boston need a car that doesn’t get stuck in snow, etc. Another model might be a scenario where semi-autonomous divisions consume shared services as captive market participants.

AI, etc will probably exacerbate these things, as they’ll allow more growth with less people managing things.

Humans aren't generally logical; we're capable of logic, but it's not our general state of consciousness. Narrative is our one, overarching "innovation" we've achieved over our nearest relatives. Narrative is a kind of data compression algorithm, if you will. By connecting facts via story, we can keep track of enormous amounts of data over a long period of time.

Tragic species enact tragic, destructive, eschatological narratives. Sustainable species enact positive, nurturing and generative narratives. If we can communicate a message that is the latter, we have a chance of survival.

2016 was an anomaly as well. According to the polling data 2016 was the first modern presidential election where both candidates were so despised.

At any rate modern election data says one thing: you need to pander to a base to raise money but pandering exclusively to a base costs votes. Biden disproved that part about fundraising, but I suspect it’s due to Trump being so polarizing.

MyMilitia sounds like a great idea which can unite both democrats who believe the police unfairly target black people, conservatives who want to self protect from mobs and rioting and libertarian who want to reduce the government's monopoly on violence.

Uhh, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't statically typed languages about reliability (e.g. testing, mutability)?

The relationship sounds more parasitical than symbiotic. I see how we benefit at its expense. What do we do that benefits it, and do those benefits outweigh how much we trash it? I'm no expert, but it doesn't seem close.
This. It's also hilarious how bad LaTeX actually is at maths despite it being overwhelmingly used for exactly that purpose. Instead of worrying about mathematical semantics, you constantly have to make typesetting decisions. There are workarounds (use your own custom, semantic commands), but still. And yet, everything else seems to be even worse.

Disclaimer: I have been using LaTeX (mostly XeLaTeX) for over a decade for most of my writing, mathematical and non-mathematical, although nowadays I often do so via Markdown+pandoc. Also, at my last company we had to parse mathematical formulas typeset in LaTeX and understand their structure... it was a nightmare.

This is generally the cat/mouse game of malware detonation in general. There are attempts to make sandboxes appear realistic, but I'd argue that our use case is even simpler since running commands or making network connections during installation is not a normal thing.

There will always be ways to try and get around the system, but I'm pretty firm that this will significantly raise the bar which is a Good Thing.
Looks like an interesting project! It would still need serious audits since it's all browser-based (arbitrary JS could be added at any time and snoop on the results page) and there's a black box element at the point of retrieving results: we're hoping that the search provider is only sending encrypted results back, but I don't see how we have a guarantee that this is the case and that the query and results aren't being logged in various places and cross-referenceable. Basically, we receive an encrypted result, but where is the non-black-box, non-trust-based guarantee that this is the only result seen?
Y'know I was just musing over this exact feeling myself. I think some languages are more suited to it than others just by their "look". It's just a matter of trade dress — semicolons just go with curly braces. I find their absence in go jarring too.

How good the specs are doesn't matter for most driver bugs. Instead, it's important which components you use. And even if cheaper devices use "standard" hardware, they still use a much larger variety than the few models that Apple releases.

You are saying

"animals are tortured"-> then{people should stop eating animals}

But what you really mean to say is

"animals are tortured in US" -> then{people should stop eating animals}

See the bubble here?

We could say something like this also for example:

"animals are tortured in US" -> then{We should start importing all our meat from Argentina}

And that would be a real solution for your angst. Much more simple plan that trying to feed humanity with pills, or drawing veins in a chunk of soy.

Some people has in mind a fixed, immutable THEN part and -after that- they look for an IF random part that would support the narrative. A part that would typically involve cute things crying in danger and emotional distress.

Who cares if it tags people with real names as "torturers"? (is my opinion, so it must be reality because opinion = true facts, right?). Who cares if the facts were faked, distorted of shown in a questionable way to fit into the replaceable part of the slot?

This is not an honest way to do things. Is the digital modern equivalent to "lets come to the castle with torches and pitchforks because... who needs a reason, this people is evil", and this is garbage.
I think people are confusing the mass which appears on orbit with payload. Payload is (as meant when the word "payload" was created) rather the goal; in case of Saturn V it was Apollo stack which needed to be launched to the Moon. Similarly, in Space Shuttle case payload is something which is in the shuttle trunk; that's why typically a shuttle flies. Illustration for why 140 tons isn't the payload of Saturn V is that Saturn V wasn't able, or designed, to launch arbitrary 140 tons to LEO, and Skylab is a implicit confirmation of that.

The definition of payload to LEO in case of higher-than-LEO missions can include booster stage and fuel, but then we have another strange case of Shuttle with IUS - the payload could fly higher, and was rather small, yet we don't consider Orbiter's mass as part of LEO payload in this case. Since, as another consideration, we usually consider Saturn V as a 3-staged rocket, not a 2-staged (as flew with Skylab) with a space booster stage which is used for LEO insertion as well as for subsequent translunar injection, it would be logical not to include 3rd Saturn's stage into LEO payload. Then Saturn V LEO payload becomes too small to be meaningful (TLI requires a lot of fuel).

It would be better - here - to consider Space Shuttle LEO payload to include Orbiter's mass - that justifies large liftoff weight. As for what's Saturn V LEO payload, this question is better be met with clarifications.

Two decades ago, dynamic languages were more typically scripted / interpreted, and statically typed languages were more typically compiled. Scripting does allow for quicker iteration (especially if compared to a language with a slow compiler) and compilation usually does produce faster code (at least pre-dating sophisticated JIT compilers).
I agree. It can’t be interactive but I guess it can be made interactive with a link to quizzes/tests etc.

Courses can also include a live chat session for interactive live with instructors and other students
I agree with your statement. But the OP was a response to someone saying Trump inherited a good economy which isn’t true.
And none of that makes anybody any more or any less entitled to help from society, or equal protection under law, based upon their ethnicity. Non-hispanic whites make up the largest population of people living in poverty in the US by a very significant margin. Those people are equally as entitled to assistance from society as any other ethnic group, and they are not at all deserving of facing the racial discrimination they face at all levels of society. These policies are definitively racist, which I guess you're welcome to offer your support for, but it doesn't change the fact that racial discrimination is racist.

The free market also has nothing to do with this conversation at all. All possible programs you could conceive for addressing problems like this fall under the umbrella of market intervention.
Statically typed languages only eliminate SOME things you'd otherwise have to test. In the end, you can eliminate almost anything besides logical errors, however, those are unfortunately a pretty big portion of bugs :D.

So while I would always use statically typed languages for anything that needs to be reliable, I do not see how this is in any way a necessity. You CAN write reliable programs without type safety, you just have to test things you normally wouldn't have to test (i.e. the lack of type safety introduces a whole bunch of null-pointer style scenarios where you get something your code totally didn't expect but has to deal with).

As for performance. Statically typed languages are usually faster, mostly because we do not have the technology yet to make dynamically typed ones as fast (in the general case). Not because there is something inherently different about them.

However, I imagine the technology to make them on par with statically typed languages will take another few decades. Mainly because untyped languages need sophisticated transformations to be fast. That is the job the human normally does for the compiler in typed languages. Things just fit together and play nicely. With dynamic languages, your get one big spaghetti soup with no structure and now the compiler has to figure out the "intended" types and compile for different estimated function signatures, etc. all while honoring the JIT-style performance considerations (fast startup, low overhead during runtime). This is a gargantuan task that probably will require advanced machine learning before it really takes off.
I've hit this in scripting. I wanted to submit performance metrics from a build script to an analytics service another team was running, but the service only accepted gRPC. This meant the bash script had to somehow pull in the entire protobuf/gRPC stack so it could say "The build on this host for this branch took 12 minutes".

I think accessibility from a broad range of environments is a disadvantage of the "protobufs everywhere" approach. I'm one of the few that still believes in dynamic typing though, so I'm probably biased.
I don't think I'm arguing for positive discrimination. I agree that if possible it would be good to remove avenues for bias to sneak in (such as by implementing blind auditions). Although without knowledge that bias exists, it might be hard to find the motivation to implement those changes. And sometimes even with motivation it might be hard to implement technical changes like that.

I agree we should hire the best people. I agree compensating for bias is not as good as eliminating bias. My hope is that in cases where technical changes can't be done, self-reflection might allow people to reduce their own bias.

I think it's quite a literal difference actually. Apologizing without further explanation can imply that you don't know what went wrong but that you accept responsibility anyway. You've literally volunteered for the role of scapegoat.

Your latter statement implies an observation of a cause and effect relationship. "It was wrong", especially if followed by "because..." shows that you know _why_ it was a mistake and that you'll be able to rectify it in the future.

It truly is a thing for people to feel anxious and upset and apologize without understanding what they did wrong, and it is an admission of weakness. In a better world, it wouldn't be pounced upon. But in this world, I'd recommend that people keep a cool head and focus on observations of consequences, not acceptance of blame.
Since this check is currently done _unencrypted_ (as lapcatsoftware said in his post), I'd say it's objectively bad.

That's an excellent analogy. Best I've heard.

I'll make it a little bit more accurate. If I poor water into a bucket at a set rate, it takes incredible computing power to simulate the hydrodynamics and understand how the water is splashing, the patterns of ripples, and the turbulence in the water, but I can tell you that when I've poured in 2 gallon, the bucket will be full.

I'll make it even better.

I'm spraying water at my dog. Weather is predicting where the hose spray will fly, and how much make it on the dog at any moment. Climate is predicting how wet the dog will be in the end and what will get wet if dog goes in the house.

My (blue) wife claims she can predict the exact amount of water on my dog, and says if I let the mutt in, 1.4 cups of mud will get on the stairs, and I shouldn't do it.

I (red) correctly say that's nonsense, and that she can't predict that with any accuracy. I keep spraying the dog, and let the muddy dog in the house.

Dog doesn't go for the stairs, but heads for the $5000 sofa, staining it to where it's a $100 Goodwill sofa, and shaking mud onto the AV system. Stairs are clean, though.

TL;DR: We can't predict shit will get f-ed up to nearly the degree Democrats say they can. We know shit will get f-ed up, though, with pretty good certainty.

(My own opinion is we've badly underestimated the impact of chemical effects, like ocean acidification, and overestimated the effects of temperature change; but the dog might go for the pantry instead)
