> You seem to be mixing gendered nouns with something that's actually referring to actual people. Two different things.

No, because when you refer to actual people, you still need to use a gendered noun. The issue is which gendered nouns to use, and different language have different rules about it.

In German, for example, one just like in Spanish needs to match the gender of the adjective to the gender of the noun. However, unlike in Spanish, German doesn't really have gender distinction in plural, and you generally use the same form to refer to group of people regardless of whether it comprises of only males, only females, or whether it's mixed.

Spanish, however, has gendered plural, and it also has a rule that whenever one refers to a group of people, one uses female gender noun only if the group comprises of only females. Whenever the group is fully male or mixed, one uses masculine form of the noun. So, a group of Latino men is "latinos", a group of Latino women is "latinas", but the mixed group of Latino men and women is actually "latinos" again. To add to that, the masculine plural version of the word "latinoamericano" is "latinoamericani", but the feminine version is "latinoamericanas", and not "latinaamericanas" (this is a compound word, and not an adjective-noun pair, hence the "latino" doesn't get declensed to "latina")

In short, any time you refer to group of Latin Americans in Spanish that doesn't happen to be all female, you'll always be saying "latino", and never "latina". Hence, the word "latinx" is solving a nonexistent problem, same as the word "Americanxs" would in English.
Interesting that this post does not attempt to attribute the attack to a specific ATP. Wonder why that is? Most other platforms were fast with attribution.

Also, worrisome that they already say there were other attack angles besides what is public at this point.
Git does use diffs extensively its algorithms, just not in its representation of history. Git's "domain model" is blobs, trees, commits, branches and tags.

At a lower layer than that (the pack files) it does use binary diffs to store similar objects as deltas to save on disk space.

TL;DR diffs play an important part in git's machinery at different levels of abstraction. They just aren't part of how it represents its domain model.

Thanks for your interest. If you have any advice on other instructions or M1 optimizations, I'd love to hear.

My first thought is to synchronize effort of the 8 CPU and maybe even the 8 GPU. That's +12dB right there. We have a multithreaded implementation in the project already.
Since 20 dollars of 100 has been printed the past 12 months due to Covid, I am happy something like bitcoin exists. For me it’s a hedge against quantitative easing.

In that sense, I see bitcoin as a more robust store of value than fiat currency.
What do you think about this incredible site about sleep: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/SuperMemo_Guru#Sleep

From the author of first Spaced Repetition software. There's too much info to digest.
That doesn't work. Doing that basically encourages people to lie to you, and poisons the relationship. Everyone trying to lose weight will cheat, and it is often the response to that cheating that determines your ability to continue. By making cheating shameful, you are basically guaranteeing failure (this is a corollary of the idea that places that don't have obesity shame fat people...naturally appealing to places with a history of Puritarinism, but largely ineffective).

You can only lose weight once you have the motivation and knowledge that you can apply to do it yourself (the stuff about processed food, for example, is utter psuedo-science nonsense that significantly confuses the issue into "good" and "bad" foods...again, Puritarinism).
Thankyou. Was driving me mad
> we have a company that does whatever the hell it wants and employees doing whatever the hell they want,

False equivalence. The company is employing (and paying) the employee, not the other way around. This is not a symmetric relationship. This is the thing you seem to have a hard time with.

And no, the company can't do whatever the hell they want either, they are bound by the contract and the appropriate laws. Which at least one of my employers found out to their detriment (they tried to do something illegal and unethical to me and I didn't let them. Lawyers got involved, it ended very nicely for me)

However, had I done what these Googlers have done, I wouldn't have stood a chance, and my lawyer would have just thrown up his hands and exclaimed "you did WHAT??!?"

> any action you please, including one that risks termination.

Absolutely. But if you risk termination, don't be surprised (and cry foul) if you are terminated.

This really isn't that hard.
The best place to find reviews it seems is through subscription paid independent reviewers.

Consumer reports is one that comes to mind (they are also non-profit), as well as rtings. If you are looking for reviews for more niche products though, your pretty much on your own when it comes to finding out if its good or not.
There's no literature I'm aware of studying links between DSPD and Alzheimer's. However, DSPD is characterized as delayed sleep...not less sleep. As long as you're getting sufficient sleep and feel rested when you do sleep, I don't think it matters when you do it as it relates to this issue.

As someone who's dealt with DSPD in his 20s, I'll refrain from advice. I got no end of people telling me to exercise more, drink less caffeine, or any number of things like I hadn't desperately tried everything. My personal experience was that it naturally got easier in my late 30s, but the less I fought it and the more I worked around it the better I felt. If you are looking for help, I encourage you to check out the DSPD subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DSPD/

This has nothing to do with unwillingness to exploit. If you would get a 1 million dollar coupon by leaving a 5 star review, almost everyone would do it (except perhaps billionaires). The thing is: Everybody has a price, but what that price is, is always different.

The less money I have, the more incentive I have to take advantage of these schemes. For me, the effort of earning 20$ this way would make this a few hundred dollars net loss (compared to working my job instead). So yeah, give me a 1000$ coupon and I am game!

For the same reason, I rarely return items I buy if they are in the under 50$ category, or write negative reviews for products that suck. It's just a waste of time, considering time is the most precious resource, and it is also money.
I often write positive reviews for products that amaze me (doesn't happen too often), but here the product gave me so much value that I am willing to spend my time for this.
I feel really bad about how much I'm laughing at this. My sympathies!

> It seems like you think that Lard is axiomatically unhealthy

Nope. Just less healthy than a high-fiber, low sugar, low-fat breakfast cereal.

If you disagree: explain to me how 1-bowl of lard is possibly any healthier than 1-bowl of Grain Berry breakfast cereal.
I feel this 100%. This type of thing is totally pushed by the food industry, marketed directly to kids and tired / busy parents. Lets not pretend that people who aren't obese are somehow more enlightened or virtuous, this is clearly a matter of food production, marketing, and environment (otherwise there wouldn't have been a sharp rise in obesity right around the time all this came online).

I feel your story because I had a similar upbringing and even though I eat relatively healthy now, losing weight is INCREDIBLY difficult due to what I assume is a host of metabolic issues from all those years of poor eating as a kid.

Threads like this kill me because its a lot of lecturing about "simple calories in calories out", and "just don't eat so much junk food" like some kid who is 8 and getting served corn dogs and fruit rollups has any idea. Everyone at school is eating that stuff, the cafeteria is serving hamburgers, chips, choc milk and chicken nuggets. There are soda and candy machines in the hallways for snacks, and everything you watch on TV is blanketed with advertising for junk food.
Win? You're not going to win that argument because it isn't set up for you to win. The argument boils down to "they are undeserving". Good luck convincing someone that the person in question is, in fact, deserving because the goal posts will just get moved. Okay, go with something along the lines of "people shouldn't starve in the streets, deserving or not". And you'll be shocked at what a fellow human being will respond with.

You're basically asking, "in a time of crisis, could we quit being dicks to each other if only for a little bit?" And the answer from many will be a resounding, "nope".
"gaslighting" does have the specific meaning you describe, or at least it used to, but these days it's mostly just used to mean "saying something I disagree with." It seems to come from a special kind of narcissism in which people are so devoutly convinced of their own moral rectitude that they can't believe anyone might disagree with them in good faith. They're so cocooned in their bubble that they can't process anything resembling a contradictory opinion; it sends them into emotional haywire and their only response is to cry victim.

When I hear someone talking about "gaslighting" it significantly lowers my inclination to take them seriously.

> * When engineers and QE are doing their regular dev+testing work all day long, do they use actual videos from the site, or are there "tame" videos used for dev+test so as to not be so distracting?

Real videos. People not wanting to work directly in contact with pornography is a huge problem to recruitment.

> * Similar to above, how much of the day (like, how many hours) would a regular developer or tester be looking at the content? Do people become totally desensitized to it? Like, I know people say "it's just a regular job", but I have a hard time believing people aren't aroused by it, at least part of the time.

Depends what you do, a regular developer probably doesn't look at a lot of porn except when testing their stuff in a near-prod setting. Some people watch porn all day (eg video editors) and there's a high turnover rate there.

Oh, and the work environment was oddly corporate.

Why use static ips? Wouldn't an ARP packet suffice? It doesn't require setting up static IPs, and also avoids the problem of "stealthed" ports, if android/ios decides to implement that sort of thing.
Funny. Other countries have inflated away their debt, which is essentially the same thing as just taking a certain fraction of everyone's money. Printing money to pay debts would also have the same effect (since it would cause inflation). The only reason Cyprus would have to resort to taking its citizens' money is because these options aren't available to it, since it doesn't control it's own currency.

You'd never see the US do the same because there's no need - a country that controls its own currency should always be able to pay its debts.

I don't know, we've known Israel has had Nuclear weapons for decades but they still fail to officially acknowledge it.

Plenty of people were saying the NSA was syphoning tons of US citizens' info but before Snowden offered proof they were just dismissed as conspiracy theorists and lunatics...

Honestly killing or trying to silence people coming out about UFOs and alien races on earth might do more to legitimize their claims and if I was trying to keep this secret I would do my best to continue to let the public ridicule their claims and never do anything that might give some proof that I cared about their revelations.

This is also not the first high-ranking government official to make such claims, see the ex-Canadian Defense minister who made very similar claims in 2015. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3051151/Gove...

It's at least mildly curious/interesting that the stories sound fairly similar to each other.
I can walk into Chipotle, order a burrito, and be out in less than 5 minutes with a delicious meal and no clean-up (maybe 10 if there's a lineup).

It takes me much longer to cook the chicken and rice, even if the 'prep' is done, and I still have to clean up!

I have what I'd consider a healthy diet, and I've been avoiding restaurant and prepared meals throughout the pandemic, but cooking everything has been a huge time-sink.
> Close laptops. When working together in the same room, we found the fastest way to be fully present and attentive was to close our computers. When we did, we felt more listened to and could more clearly and easily explain our reasoning to each other.

> Pace your questions. Start each session with a set of questions you want to answer. Write down any new questions that arise in a working session for the next session.

End each session with clear answers and questions to explore in the next session.

Simple and brilliant.
I lived in LA for a long while and met lots of porn people over the years.

My experience was the performers tended to be pretty casual about mentioning it socially. Maybe not the first thing they bring up, but it would come around eventually. They also tended to be sort of proud of it.

The crew people tended to be a little more low key about it, but mostly because they did legit film crew work as well and worried it might hurt them if higher ups knew. And the union thing applied to some. Couldn't do non-union work officially.

I only ever met low-end producers. They didn't care who knew what they did, at all. My social circles didn't include the big time porn producers (this was back in the day when DVDs were still sort of viable).

No, porn is very much part of the culture. There are posters of porn stars on the walls (like, official company-sponsored posters). Asa Akira is one I remember being a popular "ambassador". They've had porn stars at their office parties.

Worth noting that satiety (to a large degree controlled by leptin) is triggered much more by fat than by other macro nutrients. So white rice, and all other carbs, are worse on that axis too - high in calories but not very filling, thus promoting overeating. The decades of war on fat have contributed to people indulging in these foods.

Yes I can, when I started coding my first computer was a Timex 2068.

Apple was always been like that, they just used their newly NeXTSTEP based OS to sell themselves to the UNIX crowd as a question of survival.

Copland didn't had anything UNIX related, and BeOS just had some kind of minimal POSIX support, as it wasn't their goal to be a UNIX clone anyway.

Copland having been a success, or going BeOS instead, are two possible not taken paths that would have given a very different outcome.

I wasn't referring to the subject of the post.

Good to see a pleasant UI from an Apache project for a change.
That can work. But, it's slow. The way this has been done is to not modify the buffers and instead do the work in the vertex shader. The vertex shader sends the skinned verts straight to the triangle rasterizer and then then are never needed again. So, no need to read-modify-write the buffer just to have the rasterizer read it back again.
Your notion of "consumer literacy" is a treadmill.

Hoping individuals will solve this won't work, because the malignant vendor has a much stronger incentive to find new ways to cheat than individual consumers do to figure out those cheats and take countermeasures.

The proper level to solve this at is higher up. Platforms and regulators in specific.
IIRC Sapphire Reserve was considered a loss leader to attract higher income folks to Chase so they can cross sell more lucrative banking products. You can see how they tried to cash in on the Sapphire brand with Sapphire Checking, which is basically rebranded Premier Plus checking.
It's one of those things that just allows for a lot of lazy code and/or unresolved corner cases.

Newer paradigms do varying degrees of 'forcing' you to handle the situation, with varying degrees of obsessiveness.

I don't quite think any of the solutions are very magically nice ... but we may still be yet one paradigm leap away from something a little more tight. Or, we may just have to live with Optionals forever.

> They're then arranged in a hierarchy, so that a parent bone's transform (translate/rotate/scale) applies to its children, and so on. So for example, rotating an upper arm bone causes the forearm bone to rotate with it.

How do you reconcile noise in motion capture data to bone transformations? For example, isn't it possible that the motion capture data slightly elongates or shortens the forearm in a way that makes it impossible to maintain the relationship with the upper arm bone?

In my head, it feels like you would have to pick the closest point on the sphere that's created if you rotate the forearm all around the elbow joint, but that seems expensive to do everywhere all the time.

Sounds to me like it’s quite difficult to determine traffic percentages then. - Which in turn makes any discussion of “porn is x% of the Internet” kind of impossible to have in a realistic way.
I don't know how much I can say here but when it comes to PornHub and Ads, they're hosted but they pretty much own the host (although they don't, just in the sense that they probably account for 90%+ of that host's income). I was always curious why they didn't straight up buy them - and when I asked I was told it was just less trouble this way. They don't have much of an ops team though they do have a small (<10 devops team)
