According to the article, the white employee was not required to relocate to NYC, but rather was allowed to continue to work from their home in Philadelphia.

And, of course, the article has many more complaints than this one!
Yes, I do have 125% DPI on my computer. When I set back to 100% DPI than strange lines doesn't show. But I want to keep 125% DPI and the point is that Dr Racket should respect that.
But, Dr Racket is the only program that display strange artifacts on 125% DPI. Neither VS Code nor Sublime nor Notepad++ do that. As I already mentioned, I reported this bug many times during past few years to the Racket group, but the damn lines are still there, and that made the editor totally unusable. What should I say? Strange community, they don't care for this serious bug, they are preocupied with the wrong stuff of "speeding" the language with Chez Scheme. The result is crappy, unusable tool and angry users.
>> I never understood why they didn't just hire more people and instead preferred to work the talented people they attract half to death.

I think that a small number of talented people that will work themselves to death will be much more effective than a large group willing to work reasonable hours.
And docker on Linux doesn’t support all the features that docker on Mac does. Specifically kubernetes.

You can dismiss this but if your dev shop is doing dev work that lands in a k8s cluster, it sure is nice to just have devs install docker desktop for Mac and they have a fully functioning k8s cluster that just works.

My whole company uses macs except me. I had to spend a bunch of time figuring out how to get a dev environment working on Linux. And it wasn’t easy as none of the out of the box k8s solutions support how we developed our build system. If I wasn’t a k8s admin from early versions of k8s I would have just given up.

I definitely agree that high gears are overrated except for racing, but when the bike markets itself as a lightweight semi-aero bike, isn't the point to go fast? If you're not going faster than 25kph, then why are you need deeper rimmed carbon wheels?

Which all boils down to that old quote: "lies, damned lies, and statistics".

Political parties have pet Think Tanks and Consulting Companies and various other organisations that only exist to massage the existing data into the desired narrative.

Look for the data points that indicate 'normal' and orbit that. When the inevitable questions about X% of the African-American workforce quit within Y time, just point to the stats that say 'normal'. Find some other outlier statistic to point out that random groupings happen, use this to try and dismiss this scenario as a one-off random event; coincidence.

Kids: learn your statistics! You'll be able to cheat your way into at least a couple of promotions throughout your career. (What I actually mean is: learn your statistics so you can spot when you're being cheated).
Lots of hobbies (I want to say male hobbies, but presumably there are female examples as well) attract people buying equipment that cannot be objectively justified by the skill level of the practitioners buying it: The proverbial titanium head drivers in golf, fancy mics, amps, and instruments in music, tricked out hiking gear, etc.

This might be an increasing phenomenon in advanced middle age, as we have more money and less time to invest in our hobbies.

Man, when I was at an early stage online brokerage back in the day, customer service was pure gold. These people were mostly ex-traders who knew the ins-and-outs of complex options trades, and were legit viewed as rock stars.
I agree with what you're saying, but not everything needs top quality focus. There are a lot of menial tasks you can do which don't require you to be super focused.

I personally find current implications and use cases a bit niche, and the current hype suggesting the M1 is pitching a no-hitter a bit dubious.

For one, it only supports 16GB or RAM ATM. That's.. Not a lot. Maybe they only did it for batter life. Maybe they will allow more in the future. But you can only get an M1 with what Apple sells you, and the future means comparing to what's available from AMD and Intel at that time as well.

No support for discrete GPU. They have some onboard support for ML workloads(which might actually be inflating their benchmark numbers a bit) but it's only comparable to entry level GPUs apparently(sub 200).

Most reviews seem overly focused on Geekbench results and seem very lacking in intensive real world workloads(like photoshop, after effects, etc etc). Cinabench seems to tell a different story ATM. The latest top-end AMD mobile CPUs seem to smoke it on multi-core perf. And the new 5800U is not far off in single or multi-core perf. Will need to wait and see how real world perf actually compares across the board.

Overall I see this as a first step with some impressive FUTURE implications for the industry, but it's not putting all the competition in its shadow. Apple will have flexibility controlling their chip designs and, perhaps more importantly, they stand to save billions moving away from Intel. It's telling though that the M1 is limited to the 13" MBP ATM, and I'd give it a pass for my current processing needs. Squarely in early adopter zone.
I recently read a book where the killer convinces victims (via hypnosis) to swallow their tongue, which blocks the airway and suffocates them.

Decades ago, there was an episode of Hawaii-50 where the killer used bullets made of ice, so there was no evidence to work with.
I'm sorry, but i didn't like this article. The purpose of writing is to communicate an idea. Something this article failed to do. If there's one thing I was taught that's most important in writing is be concise and get to the point.

This article sure talks about a lot of things, it uses a lot of words, but it wanders aimlessly and doesn't focus on anything.

There's two kinds of writing. The kinds shown and mentioned in the article that allows you to put out a flow of ideas. this kind of writing is meant to be turned into the second kind of writing.

A concise summary of said ideas focused in a way that easily communicates said idea to other readers.

This article should be the second kind of writing focused on the author's epiphany about the first kind of writing.

Instead, it's reads like an unrefined stream of conciousness written down during the author's epiphany.

That kind of stuff is hard to read without being turned into the second kind of writing.

It seems like what you're saying is entirely possible. However, where I disagree is that you seem to expect us to simply "face the truth" that the discrimination exists; you're deploring the existence of alternate possibilities!

> Some even venture into the possibility that a black person complaining about being passed over for promotion might just not be good enough for the job and then just blame discrimination rather than facing the truth (pure gaslighting). [emphasis mine]

Let's consider the possibility, but please don't expect us to just accept it's true. And please don't expect us not to consider other possible alternatives.

>It does not work that way (logically).

Maybe it doesn't work like that in high school debate clubs, but it works like that in the law. Look up concepts like circumstantial evidence and disparate impact.

We can infer someone is guilty of a crime from a collection of evidence suggesting they are guilty even without direct evidence.

We can also punish someone for discrimination simply for exhibiting a pattern of discrimination regardless of intent to discriminate.
I do a lot of development on the Mac, and while I share this concern, I haven't been blocked in any way that I would say I'm feeling squeezed out, CLI's still work, all the code I compile still works...

I haven't run into an issue with the "App Store and identified developers" yet, tough I assume I will at some point. But I actually don't mind that as a means of helping prevent some malicious software from running on my machine.

That's not to say I'm not worried Apple will lock it down more, but I think that would really kill the platform, right now it feels like an ok balance.

This is my main concern. I’m still on the edge about getting an M1 device since I plan on mainly using it for iOS stuff and casual usage and have plenty of PCs for my hacking ventures, but I’m used to having 64GB and would hate to join the ranks of people who complain about Electron ;)
> Such a burden [innocent until proven guilty] is also unreasonable in many informal situations, as being required to establish formal and indisputable evidence of wrongdoing

Not automatically thinking that an accused is guilty is... Unreasonable.

I honestly have to ask if I'm reading that correctly because I'm really hoping I am.

> Even model citizen companies are able to trace down elements of racism within their organization when they look hard enough

Interesting, some people say this a lot, and also say the analogous regarding sexism. Yet when Google (a company that basically has "be evil" now as its unofficial slogan) actually "looked hard enough", they found they were actually paying women more than men.

So allow me to doubt this claim you're making.

> racism is a natural bias cooked into many of us

No, no it's not. Not only it is the naturalist fallacy (and without any solid evidence, unusual for this one), it's fundamentally cynical. People are not "naturally" bigots in any way, and even if the argument were for nurture (or "social conditioning", if you prefer), this claim would still be extremely suspect.

> while at the same time refusing to give charitable interpretations to the folks lodging the racism complaints.

I'm being charitable to both accusers and accused; there's no reason not to be, specially in this case where the complaints were investigated and found to be unfounded. You seem to prefer to be entirely on one side, and not only for this particular example; your original comment was far broader.

> it seems problematic to me that you would try and assert that actually everything is just fine [emphasis mine]

Is that what I said? Well, that you would twist my words this much in order to find them "problematic"—and that you would find such a claim "problematic" in this case—does explain why you think the existence of a complain surely means that a wrongdoing happened. Thanks for clearing that up.
> is indistinguishable from the other people out there that would be doing the same thing

Except for their email address that is ReporterName@local-newspaper.com...
When accusations of racism are being thrown around carelessly and people are having their reputations destroyed and lives turned upside down because of a single thing they (allegedly) said, the potential future targets of these accusations realize that the stakes just became much higher for them. So why would they support and enable those that might come for their own heads next?

It's rational to be antagonistic in such a situation.

I had Windows hard crash using Google Chrome on Hulu.

I had Windows reset itself in the middle of a long-running calculation overnight, because obviously 100% CPU usage and programs that refuse to quit is a signal it’s safe to power cycle the computer.

I routinely have to fight my devices to do what I say, because they re-interpreted valid words into other ones.

I think modern tech reliability is as overstated as historic rosiness — this turd is polished, but it’s not more functional.
But still no dual boot? I tried using vitalized windows on my macbook before, keyboard/mouse control was super frustrating. I ran into stupid issues all the time.

> Fast forward three to five years and everyone regretted the NIH approach. Those open or closed source solutions had matured and easily surpassed the home grown feature set, which still required a team of engineers to invest in.

This is the root of the problem: a small team generally can't keep up with an open source project over time.

The NIH approach works well at larger companies who can dedicate a lot of engineers to working on in-house infrastructure projects full time. At smaller companies it is a distraction from building the core product.

I see logic in this, but sequitur is that his hobby must leave him with no dates at all, which is so far from reality. Of course "racing" can be more easily related to, but this interest is shallow as I described. I bet that he speaks to me about these details because barely somebody else can understand it and has the same level of interest in it. Not even because I do e-racing (he's unaware of that), just because tech details are not popular, but money and fame are.

Have you seen Scratch [0]? It runs entirely in the web browser and you don't need to install it.

It is designed for kids and it looks a bit goofy with all those drag-and-drop programming commands, but don't be fooled -- it is a pretty modern language, with flow control, variables, functions and all.

At the same time it is great for "just start creating" things -- you start by drawing pictures, then you animate an object and the next thing you know you have a fun game :)

Starting with the assumption that they are racist, that is the tip of a nasty iceburg.

Starting with the assumption it is a pretty normal company, that is a list mostly of stuff that nobody should care about.

If someone can articulate what the HR complaints are about then that might be evidence. But complaints to HR are expected - that is why HR gets hired. They are there to deal with HR complaints. And read resumes.

> including an instance where the Black members of a team were required to relocate while a non-Black member wasn't

This one is stupid. Am I meant to believe they are revealing their racist ways by hiring black people then asking them to relocate, racistly? This is bog standard sucks-to-work-in-support activity. Miserable working conditions, but nothing to do with skin colour. A similar thing happened to my father back in the day. He certainly wasn't black.

Can confirm its creeped into a few automotive repair jobs I've had. I worked for a year at a famous chain of oil and lube stores with a blue and red sign that would do spot reviews. If you habitually declined to work overtime, didnt make it a point to upsell everything, or werent above a certain number of vehicle services per day then your hours were reduced.

Turns out not a lot of people were real excited to drain boiling oil from pissed off soccer mom SUVs all day for ten dollars an hour until their arms fell off for no benefits. anyone who was talented enough on day 1 eventually became a hung over burnout that stripped bolts and took a lot of smoke breaks.
Yup. So much this. If everyone can realize this. We all are nothing but resources for companies, politicians and law enforcement is there to help the prior two.

I wouldn't be willing to do my work on a used laptop from eBay. I want something that has a warranty so I can get a replacement if something goes wrong, ideally on the same day.

I don't think my manager would take it well if I told him that my used eBay Thinkpad is broken and I need to find a replacement before I can work again.
I was sympathetic to the idea when I read the title. It is definitely better to work with people that both care about the future of the company and the quality of their work.

But then I read the title and learned that the author equals those qualities to ”being part of a cult” and ”being obsessed about work”. Pretty much the stereotypical startup founder that consciously scam young people out of their waking hours in exchange for an illusion.
That's kind of the point: it's absurd to expect an employee--who doesn't see either the same rewards or the same risks as founders--to be as passionate about the company as the founders are. I'd go further--it's not just absurd, but astoundingly stupid and naive. It demonstrates a profound lack of both reasoning ability and experience.

Differential forms aren't exactly comparable to GA... I would instead look at the relation between exterior algebra and GA.

Differentials are a concept that the comes from doing calculus on manifolds, and exterior products of differentials are just used for tracking information about oriented volumes.

To answer your question (switching differentials forms for for exterior algebras), you wont miss anything, as the wedge product is part of a GA.
