I like eating in restaruants but it just doesn't happen very often. Mostly when I do (did) it's lunch with coworkers. Otherwise - while on vacation or maybe the oddball anniversary dinner, but not much else. I doubt I'm paying their bills.
It's superficial as in it's addressing the wrong problem. You're not going to undo racism by eliminating the word master from spoken and written language. A word, which, once again, has multiple meanings. It's like you guys don't understand that context and intent matter 1000 times more than the choice of words.

It's wrong because trying to censor the way everyone expresses themselves because a hypothetical person might be offended is a form of bullying.
I retrofitted one on a house we bought a couple of years ago. I'm really happy with it, although it does add a constant background 'hum'. It wouldn't have been possible however if we weren't doing major renovation -- we tore out & replaced the downstairs ceiling and completely redid the second floor bathroom; that meant we could run the ducts down the corner of the bathroom and then through the joists in the first floor fairly easily. And the attic is a bit cluttered with the ducts.

You definitely notice a difference when you turn it off.

Where I grew up is looking more like the awful economy of the 70s and 80s in which it was in middle of an armed conflict.

Unemployment and suicide is already high here. Many feel a lack of future. We had been doing better but there was some backsliding these past few years.

> "Companies can't stop you from unionizing."

de jure != de facto

Companies are legally prohibited from stopping unionization in the US. But that's not how it works in reality.

Most people work in an 'at-will' states. This means a company can terminate employees at any time. Want to unionize? Have at it.

All an employer needs to do is find is some company policy a person is violating (and trust me, EVERYONE is violates their company's policies from time-to-time, if only because company policies are so verbose and onerous). Your work badge isn't immediately visible? That's a policy violation. Go over your lunch a few minutes? That's a policy violation.

The company fires the unionizer. Now the onous is on the fired employee to prove that they were fired for unionizing. As long as the company doesn't say "I fired you because you were unionizing" (which they would never do), you got a lengthy legal battle on your hands.

Now where do you take your battle? To the NLRB. Now you have to fight against regulatory capture and political appointees who are hostile to the very idea of organized labor. Even if you do win, it will cost untold sums of time and money. It will be years before everything is adjudicated. At that point, what does it matter? The unionizer has been forced to move onto another job in the interim (and hope that the other company doesn't avoid hiring the person because of the labor complaint. And if the potential employer does? Another legal battle that the unionizer has to enter and prove).
From the paper:

"To induce alcohol dependence, we used the two bottle choice - chronic intermittent ethanol vapor exposure (2BC-CIE) paradigm"

Is this pure ethanol ? If so, conclusions about wine and health do not apply here.

Wine - as in fermented, not distilled beverage - is much more than ethanol, much like coffee is much more than caffeine.
I think this is doom and gloom reporting. Yes these businesses may be closed "permanently", but others will eventually rise in their places. It'll take more than a year but it will happen. The great depression lasted for 4 (or 10 years depending on who you ask). I think we're much better equipped now financially and scientifically to deal with the pandemic (e.g. fast time to market for vaccines). Now it's just a matter of govt mobilizing.

One of the most helpful books I've ever read was the book Non Violent Communication. I think I practice it almost daily for the past years now and I helped me to express a whole set of

No, I just don’t think the potential harm to minority shareholders is a good argument for Sweeney’s greed which can be evaluated in other ways.

I don’t think Epic will prevail, but I respect the investors right to make a bet on Sweeney if they so choose. They can sell their stake if they like.

Not so the customers, who Epic could clearly have protected but chose not to for publicity reasons alone.
You say:

> Yes, absolutely! We've taken the legal side of this very seriously since we realize it has the potential to be interpreted as "free labor

Your copy reads:

> Add talented software engineers to your team for a 4 week trial at no cost for your company.
> Apple / Google’s 30% take is the anti-competitive elephant in the room here, not a few crumbs thrown to small developers.

It's not just the rate that's anti-competitive, it's that these two companies have stifled competition in mobile app distribution for over a decade now.

There is no viable competition in this space because Google and Apple never allowed for real competitors to the App Store and Play Store to exist. You have to use the App Store to distribute mobile apps on iPhones and iPads, and if you want automatic updates, background updates or batch installations/upgrades on Android, you have to use the Play Store.

These days, if you want to install an app whose developers didn't pay the Apple tax, macOS will make the app appear radioactive, and as if it is either broken or malicious. Same goes for Android, where apps distributed outside of the Play Store invoke scary warnings, and are hindered when it comes to automatic updates, background updates, or batch installs.

They asked about compliance:

> Based on the lowest adherence reported in the mask group during follow-up, 46% of participants wore the mask as recommended, 47% predominantly as recommended, and 7% not as recommended."

Personally, I find it easy to believe that people were in fact wearing their masks. To be in the study you it looks like you had to joined voluntarily on your own accord, indicating a participant group with an interest in it:

> Recruitment involved media advertisements and contacting private companies and public organizations

If anything, I find it easy to believe that adherence would be less in the general population than in this study. Particularly stuff like wearing masks incorrectly, eg not covering the nose, leaving gaps, etc.

Agree. It is _too little, too late_, as they say. 15% is still a very high fee, and we all know that this is a movement to improve public opinion in light of recent events.
There is an old story about pottery students. A school split a pottery class into two groups. They instructed the first group to focus on making a few exceptional pieces. They judged the second group based on the number of pieces they created measured by weight. The result was that the best pieces came from the second group; those that focused on quantity.

There is value in the experience gained when focusing on quantity instead of quality. Early in ones career it seems wise to spend some time on increasing quantity.

While it is a serious condition, most of your statements are simply not true. Life expectancy for Down syndrome is around 55 - 60 years old. I have a family member with Down's who is around 60 years old at the moment and despite his health issues, he is one of the happiest individuals I know. Not saying this goes for all afflicted people, but a blanket statement like 'not a life worth living' is just plain BS.

If most people are like me, they like socketed RAM because they can buy the cheaper low end model and immediately add RAM.

But now that the whole industry is apparently going to non-socketed RAM, I don't think this is going to be much of a differentiator anymore.

If there was an XPS or ThinkPad with a Ryzen and socketed RAM, I would have already bought it... but if the choice is between a $1400 non-socketed MacBook or a $1400 non-socketed ThinkPad... that's a tough choice.
There's more to a project than code. A project can absolutely be founded, even if the code is entirely based on another project.
Well it’s inevitable that the culture of a community is going to drift as it grows. We even have a name for the effect in the hacker community: Eternal September.

I also think the negativity may be reflective of the mood of society overall. This has been a very tough year for so many people. When people are having a tough time I think they can latch on to one of their pet peeves and use it to blow off some steam. We just need to be careful as a community that we don’t allow the discussion to devolve into a toxic flame war. Our tireless moderator dang has been tremendous at that thus far.
Naming them won't add any credibility to my claim.

There are many companies that offer the data for sale. The example I link seems to require HIPAA authorization from the individual, but the authorization is not actually required by law. It also raises the question how the vendor is able to acquire the data without HIPAA authorization.

For what it's worth, my money is on "deanonymizing" guids. Hedge funds want to track sales in real time to have an edge in earnings forecasts.

Great article - and I strongly agree. Notebooks are fantastic for experimenting, but once a final solution is found, it should be turned into standalone, modular components before making it into production.

I think the tough part is that most modern data workflow tools don't work well for data scientists. They can't quickly deploy and experiment with code variations on the cloud, so they end up in continuous experimentation mode with notebooks where they can make line-by-line tweaks. If the tooling could facilitate quicker deployment, it might be easier to break the notebook habit.
What's funny to me about your comment is that you actually chose a perfect example of the importance of critical thinking in how we discuss terminology.

The message behind the English idiom you chose is clearly one of self empowerment; /you/ are the master of /your own/ destiny implies independence, freedom, and agency.

In the context of git, and distributed systems more broadly, `master` is specifically chosen for its association with a power differential between one special entity giving the orders, and some collection of other entities taking the orders. In some DB systems, for example, the language is as literal as `master/s`. Even without "s" in use with `git`, there's a clear association with `master` being the branch that broadly holds sway above the other branches.

We chose symbols and metaphors to aid in our mental modeling of complex systems. I'm further amused by your own choice of "policing" to describe a push for cultural healing coming from a minority population. I recommend reading up on the history of policing to see why this metaphor is ill-advised.

> Like, we're just going to scratch a whole bunch of words from the dictionary because someone somewhere is offended?

This is a strawman; nobody is calling for this.

> The other day, people at my workplace were saying that expressions like "blind spot" and "falling on deaf ears" needed to be purged.

Based on your use of "policing" and "[scratching] from the dictionary" I'm wondering whether these folks literally said "purged" in their own language. But otherwise, cool, it sounds like they are exhibiting the positive human trait of compassion. If a disabled person tells me they'd prefer I don't use this idiom, I'd happily find another way of saying the same thing. What's the big deal?

> AFAIK, "blind spot" is not actually about blind people, it's a term related to driving and the angles seeing people can't see in without looking.

This isn't really how language works though, is it? When people are forging associations with words or phrases, they're not opening a webster's dictionary, but rather drawing on a complex web of cultural associations. A more extreme version of your argument here is that it's unreasonable to be rattled by the use of a swatstika in western culture, since the /original/ meaning behind that symbol was one of peace. Nobody would buy that. However, in certain east asian cultures, the symbol is still in use for more positive associations.

The specific choice of `master` as a symbol in distributed systems holds meaning due to its evocation of a power differential. Whether this is intentionally "bad" holds no meaning whatsoever. What does it say about us if we can't honestly hold some degree of empathy for someone who, affected by a violent history of subjugation and dominance, might not love the idea of using symbols chosen for their hierarchical power association?

Speak for yourself, but you'd have to pay me even more to live in the middle of nowhere than in a city, and this doesn't seem to be an uncommon preference.

Compiler does the reordering. Not the GPU itself. Even in OoO CPU’s the ordering by HW doesn’t affect FP results. As a rule of thumb shaders in graphics are compiled as if one had passed -ffast-math to the compiler. Works perfectly in most cases, but not everywhere.

Nowadays MS has actually published the spec for DX that was closed previously. See https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/archive/D3D11_... for differences of strict IEEE behaviour. In Cuda and OpenCL one can get way closer. As an example for performance reasons one might want to flush denorms to zero. But DX mandates that. So no denormals for you. In CL and Cuda they’re usable by default.

As for the command queues. I’ve often used them in Cuda. Just to get overlap between kernel executions. In DX12 one can do that by omitting barriers. DX11 allows no such feat.
